        <RULE_TITLE>Export Credit Guarantee Programs: Elimination of Intermediate Term Guarantee (GSM-103) 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 to incorporate improvements and changes to the implementation and operation of the GSM-102 program.

Changes in this proposed rule incorporate program operational changes and information from press releases and notices to participants that have been implemented since the publication of the current rule, and include other administrative revisions to enhance clarity and program integrity.  These changes should increase program availability to all participants and enhance access for smaller U.S. exporters and their sales.  The proposed rule eliminates provisions for the Intermediate Export Credit Guarantee (GSM-103) Program, consistent with the removal of authority to operate this program in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Act) (Pub. L. 110-246).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1973, Congress mandated an export sales reporting requirement to ensure all parties involved in production and export of U.S. grain have access to current export information.  Under section 602 of the Agricultural Trade Act of 1978, provided reporting of wheat and wheat flour, feed grain, oil seeds, cotton and cotton products, rice, cattle hides and skins, beef, and other commodities that the Secretary may designate.  This proposal would add pork and distillers dried grain (DDG) to the program.  The proposed change would allow information regarding the total volume of sales and shipments of pork and DDG be available within 2 weeks of sale or export, rather than the current 2 month delay experienced under the current system operated by the U.S. Bureau of Census.]]></ABSTRACT>

The final rule is proposed to revise and amend the USDA CCC's MAP regulations (7 CFR 1485).  These revisions are intended to improve the programs effectiveness and efficiency; revise outdated language, including incorporating the organizational changes resulting from FAS' recent reorganization; and provide detailed clarifications to such topics as application requirements, participant eligibility, the review/allocation/compliance processes, reimbursement rules, and contracting and risk management procedures.]]></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>Disaster Declaration and Designation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to 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 located.  This rule also proposes to clarify and simplify procedures for identifying disaster areas, reorganize provisions in a more logical manner, and remove administrative provisions.  The intent of this rule is to propose updated regulations to match the current USDA structure.

Proposed changes to the regulation would delegate the designation authority from the Secretary to the State level, remove the requirement for a request for designation of a disaster area from a State Governor or Indian Tribal Council to the Secretary, add a simplified disaster designation in severe drought situations, and change the USDA Secretarial disaster designation process from 6 steps to 3 steps for natural disasters, including certain other drought situations.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

The April 2009 final rule implemented general changes to the Sugar Program.  The proposed rule would add a Feedstock Flexibility Program for Bioenergy Producers to dispose of anticipated surplus sugar supply in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) region.  (NOTE:  The Feedstock Flexibility Program has not been required due to record high sugar prices.)]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Conservation Loan Guarantee Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 in how several of the provisions are implemented.  The section being implemented is 5002, Conservation Loan and Loan Guarantee.  Implementation of this provision will create a new direct and guaranteed loan program directed at assisting farmers in implementing conservation practices.

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.]]></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 2008 Farm Bill, section 12028 as follows:
  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 of the 2008 Farm Bill 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>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[The rule added a new regulation in 7 CFR part 1400 to implement the new Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP), which was authorized by the 2008 Farm Bill.  VPA-HIP 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 for grant applications include:

(1) Provide for widespread acceptance by landowners;
(2) Ensure there is appropriate wildlife habitat;
(3) Strengthen wildlife habitat improvement efforts under Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP);
(4) Propose to use additional Federal, State, tribal government or private resources; and
(5) Make available to the public the location of the enrolled land.

Grants will be reduced for States that have inconsistent migratory bird hunting dates applicable to residents and non-residents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commodity Incentive Payments; Wheat and Oilseed Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations need to be added to implement provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill to establish three commodity incentive programs for the 2009 through 2012 crop years, subject to the availability of appropriations.  The Oilseed Quality Incentive Program (OQIP) provides quality incentive payments for the production of oilseeds with specialized traits that enhance human health.  The Hard White Wheat Development Program (HWWDP) provides production and seed incentive payments for the planting of hard white wheat to promote the establishment of hard white wheat as a viable market class of wheat in the United States.  The Durum Wheat Quality Program (DWQP) compensates for the cost of fungicides applied to a crop of durum wheat to control Fusarium head blight.

The final rule published 7/20/2010 implemented DWQP.

No appropriations have been made available for HWWDP or OQIP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Service Agency (FSA) implemented the Crop Assistance Program (CAP) in new regulations to provide up to $550 million in disaster assistance to farmers who grew upland cotton, long grain rice, medium grain or short grain rice, soybeans, or sweet potato in a county that received a Secretarial disaster designation in 2009 due to excessive moisture or a excessive moisture related condition.  Over 900 counties met that criteria.  Under CAP, eligible producers in disaster counties will receive a per acre payment if their eligible crop had a five percent or more loss of yield or quality or was prevented from being planted.

Payments under CAP are authorized under section 32 of the Agricultural Act of 1935, which allows the Secretary to implement programs to help restore producers' buying power by making payments in connection with the normal production of any agricultural commodity for domestic consumption.  CAP is expected to increase purchasing power of farmers who had disaster-related losses, saving rural and agricultural sector jobs.  CAP payments will be included in total farm revenue when 2009 Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program payments are calculated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Payments to Deceased Persons</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implemented the requirement in the 2008 Farm Bill to prevent the issuance of program payments to deceased individuals.  Prior to the change, the regulation in 7 CFR part 707 covered the manner in which program payments could be issued in cases when a producer died and was owed payments.  The regulation was revised with a the new provision to identify only those specific instances in which those payments can be issued.  The new provision also implemented 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Asparagus Market Loss Assistance Payment (ALAP) 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 (ALAP) 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>

        <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 Programs (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.  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>

        <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>

Pursuant to the recommendations of this report, FCIC's Board of Directors approved conversion of the pilot program to a permanent program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Rural Development published in the Federal Register an interim rule, 7 CFR part 4290, on June 8, 2004, for the purpose of facilitating non-leveraged Rural Business Investment Companies 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. 

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 a proposed rule for non-leveraged RBIC's described above.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Business and Industry Guaranteed Loan Program--Conditions of Guarantee</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 4279.72(a) provides the conditions under which a guarantee is not enforceable, four such conditions are listed: (1) cases of fraud or misrepresentation, (2) loss occasioned by a provision for interest on interest, (3) loss occasioned by a violation of usury laws, negligent servicing, or failure to obtain required security, and (4) loan funds being used for purposes other than those specifically approved by the Agency.  

Section 4279.72(b) discusses the rights and liabilities of a lender when a guaranteed portion of a loan is sold to a holder.  Under section 4279.72(b) one condition is listed where the lender will be liable for payments made by the Agency to any holder: cases of material fraud, negligence, or misrepresentation.  Section 4279.72(b) remains silent on the other three conditions listed in section 4279.72(a), resulting in insufficient reimbursement rights for the Agency when the loan has been sold to a holder as well as undue coverage for the lender.

The Agency believes reimbursement rights should be consistent, regardless of whether the lender retained the entire interest in the loan or conveyed an interest to a holder.  Therefore, the Agency intends to publish a Direct Final Rule and Proposed Rule to revise 7 CFR 4279, subpart A.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bioenergy Program for Advanced biofuels directs the Secretary of Agriculture to make payments to eligible producers to support and ensure an expanding production of advanced biofuels.  Advanced biofuels are defined as "fuel derived from renewable biomass other than corn kernel starch" in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.  The program will increase energy independence, promote resource conservation, 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.]]></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, diversify 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 audit and renewable energy development assistance grant.  

The Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS) intends to publish an interim rule on the changes to RD Instruction 4280-B for the regulations by April 2011, with a 60-day comment period.  Following the publication of this interim rule, the Agency will publish a proposed rule, which will replace the interim rule, to be implemented as a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cooperative Equity Security Guarantee</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 6012 of the 2008 Farm Bill provided eligibility for cooperative equity security guarantees for the B&I program.  The B&I regulation (RD Instruction 4279-B) will be amended to add this as an eligible loan purpose by specifically allowing the purchase of preferred stock or similar equity issued by a cooperative organization, or a fund that invests primarily in cooperative organizations, if the guarantee will significantly benefit one or more eligible entities.  No new entities will be eligible under this provision, as cooperative organizations are already eligible for loan guarantees; it simply makes loan guarantees for the purchase of preferred stock or similar equity eligible for loan guarantees.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <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.  By the end of the Recovery Act, RUS had obligated 100% of appropriate funds making 320 awards totaling more than $3.5 billion.  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), as amended by the Food Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill).  

Under the 2002 Farm Bill Program, 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. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Utilities Service is amending 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>

        <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.

The consolidation effort will also bring the requirements of these two regulations in line with the Agency's Single-Family Housing, Multi-Family Housing, Community Programs, Water and Waste, and Business and Industry regulations and handbooks.  This action will have no financial impact on the public or Agency.  These consolidations and technical revisions are in the best interest of the Government and public.  This is a positive and needed action in Rural Development program delivery and will add value to the access and delivery of the Agency's programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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 1970's 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 1970's, two types have evolved: Construction Management/Constructor (also called "At Risk") and Construction Management/Advisor ("No Risk"). For Agency funding purposes, it is necessary that Construction Management/Constructor be used rather than Construction Management/Advisor.

(3) RHS will also be revising the rural area definition in accordance with the 2008 Farm Bill.  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>Citizenship Implementation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service published a proposed rule on June 2, 2003, [68 FR 32872], to streamline and consolidate 14 regulations into 7 CFR 3560, which sets forth requirements, policies, and procedures for originating, processing, and servicing Rural Development's Multi-Family Housing (MFH) direct loans and grants. The programs covered by this part are authorized by title V of the Housing Act of 1949.  An interim rule was published on November 26, 2004 (69 FR 6903269176), to implement those changes, with an effective date of February 24, 2005.  The Agency published in the Federal Register on February 22, 2005, [70 FR 8503], to indefinitely delay the effective date of specific words in quotes in the following specific sections:  Sections 3560.152(a)(1) "Be a United States citizen or qualified alien, and"; 3560.154(a)(7) ". . . and a certification that the applicant is a U.S. citizen or a qualified alien as defined in section  3560.11 . . .";  3560.156(c)(12) ". . . their citizenship status, . . ."; and 3560.254(c)(3) "Whose head of the household is a U.S. citizen or a legal alien as defined in section 3560.11." The interim final rule contained requirements regarding citizenship eligibility about which the Agency received several comments. The comments suggested that Agency procedures unnecessarily imposed more requirements than those required under the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) procedures for similar programs.

RHS plans to publish a proposed rule to implement the citizenship requirements and to harmonize RHS' requirements with those currently established by HUD.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency will consolidate the applicable portions of the seven regulations used to service Community Facilities direct loans and grants into one, streamlined regulation.  The consolidation will improve the Agency's ability to service its portfolio and will ensure that the Government's investment is protected and maximized.  The proposed action will have no financial impact on the public or the Agency and will be in the best interest of the Government and the public.  The consolidation and update will provide an improved basis for servicing Community Facilities direct loans by providing servicing options that will enable facilities to recover from delinquent situations and continue operating and providing essential services to  the public.  The Agency also expects this action to reduce the use of program loan cost expense funds to maintain inventory properties.  Streamlining seven regulations into one regulation will provide a user-friendly document that will reduce the time burden on Agency staff as well as provide an easy-to-understand reference for the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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 Housing 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[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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service (RHS) proposes to revise 7 CFR 3550, Direct Single Family Housing Loans and Grants, regarding payment assistance, modest housing provisions, and area loan limits.  Section 502 Direct Loans provides payment assistance to assist borrowers with the mortgage payment and consequently increase affordability.  The amount of assistance is calculated based on a formula that has changed, or adjusted, multiple times over the life of the 502 Direct Loan Program.  The formula was modified in FY 2008 to address problems noted after implementation in 1995. The Agency seeks to adjust the formula.]]></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>Equitable Relief From Ineligibility Final Rule Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1613 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 Authorized the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to provide equitable relief from program ineligibility to participants in covered programs. This authority was effective May 12, 2002.

NRCS published a final rule (69 FR 56345) on September 21, 2004, to implement the equitable relief provisions. In order for a participant to obtain equitable relief, NRCS, at 7 CFR 635.7 (b), provided that: "[P]articipants may request equitable relief from the Chief or the State Conservationist with respect to: (1) Reliance on the actions or advice of an authorized NRCS representative; or (2) Failure to fully comply with the program requirements but made a good faith effort to comply." The final rule made no distinction between the two bases for relief in providing regulatory guidance for obtaining such relief.

NRCS is amending part of the equitable relief application procedure in 7 CFR 635.7 based on feedback received from participants and NRCS employees over the course of implementing equitable relief since rule publication in 2004. Participants were being required to initiate the request for equitable relief when the source of the violation or ineligibility was NRCS' erroneous advice or action even when the State Conservationist was fully aware of this fact. Participants and employees commented that NRCS was creating an additional burden by mandating that only a participant could request relief when an NRCS employee had provided incorrect information or actions detrimentally relied upon by a participant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Wetlands have long been recognized as critical to enhancing water quality and providing habitat for fish and wildlife.  They provide a protective buffer for our towns and cities against floods and storm surges.  Wetlands are the habitat for hundreds of species and connect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.  The Nation's wetlands provide an array of benefits to society and affect the Nation's economic, ecological, and cultural heritage.  The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is a voluntary program that provides technical and financial assistance to eligible landowners to restore and protect wetlands.  Protecting wetlands provides wildlife habitat, as well as enhancement of soil, water, plants, and related natural resource concerns.  Floodplain forests, prairie potholes, and coastal marshes are among the wetlands restored through WRP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NRCS Conservation Program Transparency Compliance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently published two regulations, 2 CFR part 25 and 2 CFR part 170, to assist agencies and recipients of Federal financial assistance comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA) (Pub. L. 109-282, as amended). Both regulations have implementation requirements beginning October 1, 2010. 

The regulations at 2 CFR part 25 require, with some exceptions, recipients of Federal financial assistance to apply for and receive a Dun and Bradstreet Universal Numbering Systems (DUNS) number and register in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). The regulations at 2 CFR part 170 establish new requirements for Federal financial assistance applicants, recipients, and sub-recipients. The regulation provides standard wording that each agency must include in its awarding of financial assistance that requires recipients to report information about first-tier sub-awards and executive compensation under those awards. 

NRCS has determined that 2 CFR part 25 and 2 CFR part 170 apply to certain awards of financial assistance provided under the Watershed Operations Program (including the Watershed Rehabilitation Program), the Emergency Watershed Protection Program, the Healthy Forests Reserve Program, the Agricultural Management Assistance Program, and the Conservation Stewardship Program. Therefore, NRCS is initiating this rulemaking to incorporate, by reference, these registration and reporting requirements in current program regulations.]]></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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cattle From Australia; Exempt From Tuberculosis Testing Requirement</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <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 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>Citrus Canker, Citrus Greening, and Asian Citrus Psyllid; Interstate Movement of Regulated Nursery Stock</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the regulations governing the interstate movement of regulated articles from areas quarantined for citrus canker, citrus greening, and/or Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) to allow the movement of regulated nursery stock under a certificate to any area within the United States. In order to be eligible to move regulated nursery stock, a nursery must enter into a compliance agreement with APHIS that specifies the conditions under which the nursery stock must be grown, maintained, and shipped. It will also amend the regulations that allow the movement of regulated nursery stock from an area quarantined for ACP, but not for citrus greening, to amend the existing regulatory requirements for the issuance of limited permits for the interstate movement of the nursery stock. We are making these changes on an immediate basis in order to provide nursery stock producers in areas quarantined for citrus canker, citrus greening, or ACP with the ability to ship regulated nursery stock to markets within the United States that would otherwise be unavailable to them due to the prohibitions and restrictions contained in the regulations while continuing to provide adequate safeguards to prevent the spread of the three pests into currently unaffected areas of the United States.]]></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>Tuberculosis; Require Approved Herd Plans Prior to Payment of Indemnity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations regarding the payment of indemnity for animals destroyed because of bovine tuberculosis to provide that an approved herd plan must be in place prior to the payment of indemnity, and to provide that 10 percent of the gross indemnity payment be withheld by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service until the conditions of an approved herd plan have been implemented. It would also amend the regulations to deny any payments of Federal indemnity for a herd whose owner has failed to follow the provisions of an approved herd plan, or has violated the conditions of an approved herd plan. We believe these proposed changes would further tuberculosis eradication efforts in the United States and protect livestock not affected with tuberculosis from the disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This 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>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 rulemaking would amend the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act regulations regarding the packaging and labeling of veterinary biological products to provide for the use of an abbreviated true name on small final container labeling for veterinary biologics; require labeling to bear a consumer contact telephone number; change the format used to show the establishment or permit number on labeling and require such labeling to show the product code number; change the storage temperature recommended in labeling for veterinary biologics; require vaccination and revaccination recommendations in labeling to be consistent with licensing data; require labeling information placed on carton tray covers to appear on the outside-face of the tray cover; remove the restriction requiring multiple-dose final containers of veterinary biologics to be packaged in individual cartons; require labeling for bovine virus diarrhea vaccine containing modified live virus to bear a statement warning against use in pregnant animals; reduce the number of copies of each finished final container label, carton label, or enclosure required to be submitted for review and approval; require labeling for autogenous biologics to specify the microorganism(s) and/or antigen(s) they contain; and require labeling for conditionally licensed veterinary biologics to bear a statement concerning efficacy and potency requirements. 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>

        <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>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>Update of Noxious Weed Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the regulations governing the importation and interstate movement of noxious weeds by adding definitions of terms used in the regulations, adding details regarding the process of applying for the permits used to import or move noxious weeds, adding a requirement for the treatment of niger seed, and adding provisions for petitioning to add a taxon to or remove a taxon from the noxious weed lists. These changes update the regulations to reflect current statutory authority and program operations and improve the effectiveness of the regulations. It also adds seven taxa to the list of terrestrial noxious weeds and to the list of seeds with no tolerances applicable to their introduction. This action prevents the introduction or dissemination of these noxious weeds into or within the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes in Disease Status of the Brazilian State of Santa Catarina With Regard to Certain Ruminant and Swine Diseases</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the regulations governing the importation of certain animals and animal products by adding the Brazilian State of Santa Catarina to the list of regions we recognize as free of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), rinderpest, swine vesicular disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. It also adds Santa Catarina to the list of regions that are subject to certain import restrictions on meat and meat products because of their proximity to or trading relationships with rinderpest- or FMD-affected countries. These actions update the disease status of Santa Catarina with regard to FMD, rinderpest, swine vesicular disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever while continuing to protect the United States from an introduction of those diseases by providing additional requirements for live swine, pork meat, pork products, live ruminants, ruminant meat, and ruminant products imported into the United States from Santa Catarina.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hass Avocados From Mexico; Importation Into the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and Other Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the regulations governing the importation of fruits and vegetables to provide for the importation of Hass avocados from Mexico into Puerto Rico under the same systems approach currently required for the importation of Hass avocados into all States of the United States from Michoacán, Mexico. The systems approach requirements include trapping, orchard certification, limited production area, trace back labeling, pre-harvest orchard surveys for all pests, orchard sanitation, post-harvest safeguards, fruit cutting and inspection at the packinghouse, port-of-arrival inspection, and clearance activities. This action allows for the importation of Hass avocados from Michoacán, Mexico, into Puerto Rico while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine pests. In addition, this action amends the regulations to provide for the Mexican national plant protection organization to use an approved designee to inspect avocados for export and to suspend importation of avocados into the United States from Michoacán, Mexico, only from specific orchards or packinghouses when quarantine pests are detected, rather than suspending imports from the entire municipality where the affected orchards or packinghouses are located. These changes provide additional flexibility in operating the export program while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine pests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Fresh Unshu Oranges From the Republic of Korea Into the Continental United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the regulations concerning the importation of citrus fruit to remove certain restrictions on the importation of Unshu oranges from the Republic of Korea that are no longer necessary. Specifically, it removes requirements for the fruit to be grown in specified canker-free export areas and for joint inspection in the groves and packinghouses by the Government of the Republic of Korea and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. It also amends the regulations to clarify that surface sterilization of the fruit must be conducted in accordance with 7 CFR part 305 and to expand the area in the continental United States where Unshu oranges from the Republic of Korea may be distributed. Finally, it requires that each shipment be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate containing an additional declaration stating that the fruit was given the required surface sterilization and inspected and found free of Elsinoe australis. These changes make the regulations concerning the importation of Unshu oranges from the Republic of Korea consistent with our domestic regulations concerning the interstate movement of citrus fruit from areas quarantined because of citrus canker.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Mexican Hass Avocados; Additional Shipping Options</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the regulations for the importation of Hass avocados originating in Michoacán, Mexico, into the United States by adding the option to ship avocados to the United States in bulk shipping bins when safeguarding is maintained from the packinghouse to the port of first arrival in the United States and by making it clear that the avocados may be shipped by land, sea, or air. It also amends the regulations to allow avocados from multiple packinghouses that participate in the avocado export program to be combined into one consignment. We are taking these actions in response to requests from the Government of Mexico and inquiries from a U.S. maritime port. These actions allow additional options for shipping Hass avocados from Mexico to the United States and allow Mexican exporters to ship full container or truck loads from multiple packinghouses while continuing to provide an appropriate level of protection against the introduction of plant pests.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA is reviewing the United States Standards for Wheat under the United States Grain Standards Act.  Since the standards were last revised, numerous changes have occurred in the breeding and production practices of wheat; the technology used to harvest, process, and test wheat; and also wheat marketing.  To ensure that standards and official grading practices remain relevant, GIPSA invites interested parties to comment on whether the current wheat standards and grading practices need to be changed.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Agriculture's Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is reviewing the United States Standards and grading procedures for Rough Rice, Brown Rice for Processing, and Milled Rice under the Agriculture Marketing Act of 1946.  Since the standards were last revised, numerous changes have occurred in the breeding and production practices of rice; the technology used to harvest, process, and test rice; and also rice marketing.  To ensure that standards and official grading practices remain relevant, GIPSA invites interested parties to comment on whether the current rice standards and grading procedures need to be changed.]]></ABSTRACT>

Specifically, we are proposing to allow a State that implements a central filing system for notification to the public of liens on farm products under the Clear Title Program to; maintain a master debtor list with social security numbers or Internal Revenue Service (IRS) taxpayer identification numbers that have been encrypted for security purposes; provide a method by which a search of the encrypted social security and IRS tax identification numbers may be conducted to determine whether the farm product at issue is subject to one or more liens, and distribute electronically the master list with encrypted social security and IRS taxpayer identification numbers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Regulations Issued Under the Packers and Stockyards Act (P&amp;S Act) Regarding Requirements for Filing Tariffs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA is proposing to revise section 201.17 of the regulations issued under the P&S Act regarding the requirements for filing tariffs.  Specifically, GIPSA plans to propose to amend section 201.17(a) and (c) for clarity by deleting references to supplements and amendments, and by requiring that the schedule of rates and charges contain an effective date, rather than designation by successive numbers.  GIPSA also plans to propose removing the 10-day filing and notice waiver for schedules in section 201.17(b) that provide for feed charges based on an average cost plus a specified margin.  As a matter of policy, GIPSA no longer reviews these schedules before they are posted at the stockyard.  In addition, GIPSA plans to propose deleting in section 201.17(b) the reference to average feed costs from the notice requirement because we believe that regulatory language is overly prescriptive and unnecessary.  In addition, because section 306(a) of the P&S Act does not apply to veterinary services, we also plan to propose deleting from section 201.17(c) the regulatory language regarding the waiver of the 10-day filing and notice requirement for a schedule of charges for professional veterinary services.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Enforcement of the Packers and Stockyards Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA has proposed regulations under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921, that 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 would also establish criteria that GIPSA will consider in determining whether a live poultry dealer has provided reasonable notice to poultry growers of any 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 live poultry dealer or swine contractor has provided a reasonable period of time for a poultry grower or a swine production contract grower to remedy a breach of contract that could lead to termination of the poultry growing arrangement or swine production contract.  The Farm Bill also instructed the Secretary to promulgate regulations to ensure that producers and growers are afforded the opportunity to fully participate in the arbitration process if they so choose.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>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, Origin of Livestock</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend sections of the NOP regulations which pertain to the adverse action appeals process.  It would require the Agency to initiate formal administrative proceedings for proposed suspensions or revocations of accreditation or certification issued by the NOP.  According to the current NOP regulations, a formal administrative proceeding is initiated following the decision of the Administrator to deny an appeal.  This rulemaking would  omit the step of appealing to the Administrator when NOP has initiated the adverse action.  This action would also amend the NOP regulations to require appellants who want to further contest a decision of the Administrator to deny an appeal to request a hearing.  According to the current regulations, the formal administrative proceeding is initiated by default upon issuance of the Administrator's denial.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Organic Program, Periodic Pesticide Residue Testing, NOP-10-0102</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) of 1990, the National Organic Program is authorized to require pre-harvest residue testing for products sold or labeled as organic. This requirement is promulgated in section 205.670(b) of the NOP regulaitons which provides that the Secretary, state programs, and certifying agents may require pre-harvest or post-harvest testing of organic products when there is reason to believe that the product has come into contact with a prohibited substance or has been produced using excluded methods.

As a result of legal opinion received by the NOP on this issue, the NOP plans to publish a proposed rule that would amend regulations such that certifying agents would be required to conduct periodic testing of agricultural products that are to be sold, labeled or represented as "100 percent organic, organic", or "made with organic (specified ingredients or food group(s))".  Specifically, the proposed rule would specify that certifying agents are required, on an annual basis, to randomly sample and test agricultural products from a minimum of 5 percent of the operations they certify.]]></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>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>

        <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>

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; and (2) 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 organic" statement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Honey producers voted in a referendum conducted by USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service from May 17 to June 4, 2010, to determine whether they wanted to implement the U.S. Honey Producers Research and Promotion Program.  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>

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 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Service 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 ton 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>Egg Products Inspection Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to require egg products plants and establishments that pasteurize shell eggs to develop and implement Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) systems and Sanitation (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>

        <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>Product Labeling: Use of the Voluntary Claim &quot;Natural&quot; on the Labeling of Meat and Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mandatory Inspection of Catfish and Catfish Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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, and the individual ingredients or multi-ingredient components in the solution listed in descending order of prominance by weight.
 
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.  The Agency is also proposing to remove the standard of identity for "ready-to-cook poultry products to which solutions are added."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency will propose that raw, needle or blade, mechanically tenderized, meat and poultry products be labeled to indicate that they are "mechanically tenderized."  In addition, FSIS will propose that labels of raw mechanically tenderized product include cooking instructions that have been validated to ensure adequate pathogen destruction.  The new labeling requirements would apply to consumer ready product, product going to food service facilities, and product going to other Federal establishments for further processing.  For mechanically tenderized products that receive a full lethality (e.g., are thoroughly cooked) in a Federal establishment, FSIS will propose that the product continue to be labeled as "mechanically tenderized."  However, the Agency will propose that fully cooked, ready-to-eat mechanically tenderized products need not bear cooking instructions on the label.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is amending 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 is also amending its regulations to require nutrition information on the labels of all ground or chopped meat and poultry products, with or without added seasonings, unless an exemption applies.  The requirements for ground or chopped products will be consistent with those for multi-ingredient products.

FSIS is also amending 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 statement may be included on the label or in labeling, as long as a statement of the fat percentage that meets the specific criteria also is displayed on the label or in labeling.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is amending its regulations to establish formulas for calculating the rates that it charges meat and poultry establishments, egg products plants, and importers and exporters for providing voluntary, overtime, and holiday inspection, and identification, certification, and laboratory services.  FSIS will publish the rates annually in Federal Register notices prior to the start of each calendar year and will apply them on the first FSIS pay period at the beginning of the calendar year.

        <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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Eligibility, Certification, and Employment and Training Provisions of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend the regulations governing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to implement 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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Payments of Certain Administrative Costs of State Agencies</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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR):  Income Deductions</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 Nutrition 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; (2) establish an income deduction for shelter/utility expenses; (3) eliminate the requirement for considering countable household resources in the eligibility determination; and (4) establish household verification requirements related to the proposed income deductions and revise household reporting requirements.

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training: Outcome Performance Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will establish outcome performance measures for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training (E&T) Program and require the reporting of this information.  

Currently, State agencies may report E&T program outcome information in their E&T plan (see Part I(A)(8) of the E&T Handbook on Preparing E&T Plans, revised 2003), but they are not required to do so.   

USDA Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit entitled "Food Stamp Employment and Training Program" (OIG #27601-16-At), released March 31, 2008, determined that FNS did not establish performance measures to determine the success of the E&T program.  Recommendation one of this audit was that FNS establish performance measures for the SNAP E&T Program and require States to submit performance data to determine if the program is meeting desired results.  This rule will bring closure to an outstanding audit recommendation.

The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, requires that performance indicators be used to measure the outcome of the government program.  

Section 16(h)(5) of the 2008 Food and Nutrition Act (the Act) provides that the Secretary shall monitor the employment and training (E&T) programs carried out by State agencies under section 6(d)(4) of the Act to measure their effectiveness in terms of the increase in the numbers of household members who obtain employment and the numbers of such members who retain such employment as the result of their participation in such E&T programs.  

Tribal organizations will be impacted only if they administer a SNAP E&T program.  Currently no tribal organizations are doing this.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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[Public Law 108-265 requires the Secretary to issue regulations that reflect specific recommendations for increased consumption of foods and food ingredients in school nutrition programs based on the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans.  

The current regulations require that reimbursable meals offered by schools meet the applicable recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.  This proposed rule would revise the regulations on meal patterns and nutrition standards to ensure that school meals reflect the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (04-017).]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will affirm and address comments from stakeholders on the interim final rule that went into effect October 1, 2009, and for which the comment period ended February 1, 2010.  Significant changes to the rule are not anticipated.  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>

        <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>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, this rule has been reviewed by the Department of Justice                   (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>

        <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>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>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>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>

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.

        <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>

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

        <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>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>

        <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 section 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>Wilderness Management Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is initiating a revision to policy as a result of the accumulations of cultural, technological, and demographic changes, affecting all aspects of wilderness administration, that have taken place over the time since FSM 2320 was last significantly revised in 1990. With the passage of numerous bills designating additional wilderness areas in the past 20 years,  Forest Service wilderness makes up about 18% of the National Forest System, over 36 million acres, and encompasses a broad spectrum of ecological communities some of which were not represented before 1990 and which bring new complexity and management challenges not currently addressed in policy. 

Current directives do not take into account provisions from recent legislation and legislation that has occurred since 1990 (i.e. Americans with Disabilities Act). There have also been some significant court rulings that prompt the agency to update and refine their policy.  There have also been inconsistent interpretations resulting from lack of clarity in policy. 

The FS proposes to update existing wilderness policy.  Wilderness is an integrated resource that contains multiple resource areas that requires specific management to adhere to the legal framework of the Wilderness Act.  The revision has engaged various program staff and will continue to involve them through the process.  The proposed directive would refine current policy direction in a number of program areas including Wildlife, Fish and Rare Plants, Planning, Heritage Resources, Recreation, and Fire.  Revised policy will provide both our internal organization and our external audiences a clear understanding of Forest Service wilderness management sideboards and direction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pest and Disease Revolving Loan Fund</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is proposing to amend 36 CFR 230 to provide direction on implementing the Pest and Disease Revolving Loan Fund (Pub. L. 110-234, sec. 10205), which authorizes loans to eligible units of local governments to finance purchases of authorized equipment to monitor, remove, dispose of, and replace infested trees in quarantine areas.  The proposed changes amend part 230, State and Private Forestry Assistance by adding a new subpart. 

Currently, there are no Forest Service rules or regulations on providing low interest loans to local municipalities to help them manage their insect and disease infested trees; the proposed rules will provide that direction.

The proposed amendment to 36 CFR 230 would add a subpart and will:
1. Clarify and define eligible units of local government.
2. Further define authorized equipment.
3. Describe the administrative requirements and process to apply for a loan.
4. Clarify the terms of the loan.
5. Describe repayment procedures.
6. Describe the administration of the loan program.]]></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>

        <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>

        <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>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>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Commerce is removing its regulation implementing the Governmentwide 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 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 Department of Commerce policy or procedures for drug-free workplace.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings	</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Commerce (the Department) is requesting comments regarding the calculation of the weighted average dumping margin and antidumping duty assessment rate in certain antidumping duty proceedings.  Currently, in a review of an antidumping duty order conducted under 19 CFR 351.213 (administrative review), 351.214 (new shipper review), 351.215 (expedited antidumping review) (collectively reviews), the Department usually makes comparisons between transaction-specific export prices and average normal values and does not offset any dumping that is found with the results of comparisons for which the transaction-specific export price exceeds the average normal value.  In addition, in the most recent original antidumping duty investigation in which the Department calculated the weighted average margins of dumping using transaction-to-transactions comparisons, the Department did not grant offsets for non-dumped comparisons.  Several World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement reports have found that the United States application of these methodologies was inconsistent with our WTO obligations.  In response to these reports, the Department proposes modification of its methodologies, including changes to certain provisions of the Department's regulations.]]></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>

        <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>Amendment 31 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 31 would amend the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program by revising the active participation requirements for C share acquisition and use.  It would allow C shares to be acquired by an individual who received an initial allocation of C shares, or an individual who demonstrates participation in the BSAI rationalization crab fisheries during 3 of the 5 season immediately preceding implementation of the program.  It will also revise the rules governing active participation requirements of C share holders.  To receive an annual allocation of IFQ, a C share holder must have participated in at least one delivery in a fishery in the 3 seasons preceding the application for IFQ, or have received  an initial allocation of C shares and participated in 30 days of State of Alaska or Alaska Federal fisheries in the 3 seasons preceding the application for IFQ.  This amendment also revokes C shares from holders who do not meet at least one of the active participation criteria: (1) Participated in at least one delivery in one of the rationalized crab fisheries in the  preceding 4 years or, (2) was an initial recipient of C shares and participated in at least 30 days of fishing in state or federal fisheries.  No QS will be revoked before 5 years from  implementation of this amendment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the National Standard 10 Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The action would revise the National Standard 10 (NS10) guidelines at 50 CFR 600.355.  National Standard 10 states: "Conservation and management measures shall, to the extent practicable, promote the safety of human life at sea."  NMFS published guidelines for NS10 in 1998 (63 FR 24212; May 1, 1998).  Major changes in fisheries management that change the way fishing operations are conducted, including catch share programs, could impact the safety of fishermen, and those impacts should be assessed during the management process.  NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service will seek initial public comment on potential adjustments to the guidelines through an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Potential Revisions to the Turtle Excluder Device Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announces that it is considering technical changes to the requirements for turtle excluder devices (TEDs) and solicits public comment.  Specifically, NMFS would modify the size of the TED escape opening currently required in the summer flounder fishery; require the use of TEDs in the whelk, calico scallop, and Mid-Atlantic scallop trawl fisheries; require the use of TEDs in flynets; and move the current northern boundary of the Summer Flounder Fishery-Sea Turtle Protection Area off Cape Charles, Virginia, to a point farther north.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Marine Mammal Protection Act Permit Regulation Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Take and Import of Marine Mammals: Take of Marine Mammals Incidental to Operations of an Liquefied Natural Gas 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 proposes regulations pursuant to section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA to 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>Trade Monitoring Procedures for Fishery Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is revising procedures to monitor international trade in certain fishery products to meet requirements of the Security and Accountability For Every (SAFE) Port Act, the Magnuson-Stevens Act, other applicable statutes, and obligations that arise from U.S. participation in regional fishery management organizations.  Specifically, NMFS intends to integrate its trade monitoring programs within the government-wide International Trade Data System and to require electronic information collection through the automated internet portal maintained by Customs and Border Protection.

This rulemaking will consolidate several existing trade permits and additional seafood commodities will be included under the consolidated permit requirement.  International Trade Permits will be issued electronically through the NOAA Fisheries Service National Permitting System.  A subsequent rulemaking will address the electronic submission of documents for import transactions.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this action, American Samoa Class B, C, and D longline vessels would be required to use 30 m or longer float lines, maintain a minimum of 70 m between float lines and branch lines, use 15 or more branch lines between any two floats, and keep no more than 10 swordfish per fishing trip.  This rule is intended to reduce interactions between American Samoa-based longline fishing operations and green sea turtles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action amends the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for Pelagic Fisheries of the Western Pacific (FEP) to establish catch limits for bigeye tuna caught on longlines for American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands (collectively, the territories), provide the territories limited authority under the FEP to allocate longline bigeye catch limits, and establish criteria for integrating chartered vessels with a territory's domestic fleet. The amendment intends to recognize, implement, and manage the special provisions and responsibilities of the territories under the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission's Conservation and Management Measure 2008-01, to reduce fishing mortality on bigeye tuna, while ensuring responsible fishing.]]></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: Pub. L. 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, and to minimize 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>Amendment 10 to the Fishery Management Plan for Spiny Lobster in the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2006 Reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA) included a number of changes to improve conservation of managed fishery resources.  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>

        <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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>False Killer Whale Take Reduction Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is undertaking rulemaking to implement a False Killer Whale Take Reduction Plan (FKWTRP).  The FKWTRP is based on consensus recommendations submitted by the False Killer Whale Take Reduction Team (FKWTRT).  This action is necessary because current serious injury and mortality rates of the Hawaii Pelagic stock of false killer whales incidental to the Category I Hawaii-based deep-set (tuna target) longline fishery and Category II Hawaii-based shallow-set (swordfish target) fishery are above the stock's potential biological removal (PBR) level, and therefore inconsistent with the short-term goal of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).  Additionally, serious injury and mortality rates of the Hawaii Insular stock and Palmyra Atoll stocks of false killer whales incidental to the Hawaii-based deep-set longline fishery are above insignificant levels approaching a zero mortality and serious injury rate, and therefore inconsistent with the long-term goal of the MMPA.  The FKWTRP is intended to meet the statutory mandates and requirements of the MMPA through both regulatory and non-regulatory measures, and research and data collection priorities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Regulations Under the Bottlenose Dolphin Take Reduction Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Serious injury and mortality of the Western North Atlantic bottlenose dolphin stocks incidental to Category I and II fisheries continue at levels potentially exceeding Potential Biological Removal (PBR) levels, requiring additional management measures under the Bottlenose Dolphin Take Reduction Plan (BDTRP).  Therefore, the purpose of the proposed actions is to amend the BDTRP to reduce serious injury and mortality of bottlenose dolphins in the Virginia pound net fishery (Category II) and  mid-Atlantic gillnet fishery (Category I) in North Carolina, specifically, the spiny dogfish fishery.  The need for the proposed actions is to ensure the BDTRP meets its MMPA mandated short- and long-term goals.  NMFS will examine a number of management measures, including consensus recommendations from the Bottlenose Dolphin Take Reduction Team, designed to reduce the incidental mortality or serious injury of bottlenose dolphins taken in both the Virginia pound net fishery and spiny dogfish fishery in North Carolina to below PBR, as well as other updates supporting the objectives of the BDTRP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 2 of the Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would implement the preferred alternative under Amendment 2 of the Pacific Fishery Management Council's (Council) Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species (HMS FMP).  Amendment 2 would revise part of the HMS FMP to ensure that it is consistent with new guidelines to meet the objectives of MSA National Standard 1 in order to more effectively prevent overfishing and rebuild overfished stocks, or stocks that may become overfished. The proposed rule would change the list of Management Unit Species codified in the HMS FMP final rule and modify the process the Council would use for the adoption of the numerical estimates of maximum sustainable yield, optimal yield, and status determination criteria.  Adoption of updated numerical estimates would be submitted as recommendations for NMFS to provide the opportunity for Secretarial review.]]></ABSTRACT>

If approved, this regulatory amendment would establish:  (1) A combined catch limit annually specified by the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) that is allocated between the commercial and charter halibut fisheries using percentage allocations proposed by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council); (2) annual management measures for the charter halibut fishery that are intended to maintain harvest to the charter allocation and specified annually by the IPHC using a non-discretionary process proposed by the Council; and (3) the opportunity for commercial halibut individual fishing quota (IFQ) holders to lease (transfer on an annual basis) halibut IFQ to charter halibut permit holders as Guided Angler Fish (GAF).]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule would impose the following requirements on large-scale (24 meters in length or greater) longline vessels: (1) Adhere to criteria for transshipping in port; (2) adhere to criteria for transshipping at sea; (3) whether at-sea or in-port, contact an appropriate federal official (probably a NMFS official) and obtain prior approval before any transshipment; and (4) submit a Transshipment Declaration Form after any transshipment.  This rule would not be applicable to the transshipment of fresh fish at sea and would not apply to the transshipment activities other than by large longline vessels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment To Revise the Maximum Retainable Amounts of Groundfish in the Arrowtooth Flounder Fishery in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes a regulatory amendment to revise the maximum retainable amounts (MRAs) of groundfish using arrowtooth flounder as a basis species in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area.  This action would increase the MRAs from 0 percent to 20 percent for pollock, Pacific cod, Atka mackerel, Alaska plaice, yellowfin sole, other flatfish, rock sole, flathead sole, and squid; from 0 percent to 7 percent for Greenland turbot; from 0 percent to 1 percent for sablefish; from 0 percent to 2 percent for shortraker and rougheye rockfish (combined); from 0 percent to 5 percent for aggregated rockfish; and from 0 percent to 3 percent for other species.  These species and species groups are defined in the footnotes to Table 11 to Part 679-BSAI Retainable Percentages.  The intended effect of this action is to reduce regulatory discards of otherwise marketable groundfish in the arrowtooth flounder fishery.  NMFS also proposes revisions to Table 11 to identify Kamchatka flounder as a basis species, consistent with the annual harvest specifications, and revisions to trawl fishery categories for prohibited species catch management and groundfish fishing seasons to continue management of Kamchatka flounder identical to arrowtooth flounder. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area, and other applicable law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Adjustment 7 to the Monkfish Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Framework Adjustment 7 to the Monkfish FMP would adjust the annual catch target (ACT) for the Northern Fishery Management Area (NFMA) to be consistent with the most recent scientific advice regarding the acceptable biological catch (ABC) for monkfish.  The New England Fishery Management Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) has recommended a revision to the ABC, based on the recent stock assessment (SARC 50), that is lower that the ACT for the NFMA proposed in Amendment 5 to the Monkfish FMP.  Specifically, the SSC recommended a revised NFMA ABC of 7,592 mt, which is 29 percent lower than the NFMA ACT of 10,750 mt proposed in Amendment 5.  Conversely, the recalculated ABC for the Southern Fishery Management Area (SFMA) is 850 mt higher than the Council's recommended ACT for that area.  Thus, no change is proposed for the SFMA.  Framework 7 would also specify a new day-at-sea (DAS) allocation and trip limits for the NFMA commensurate with the new ACT (as necessary), and adopt revised biomass reference points based on the recommendations of SARC 50 and the SSC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is developing a proposed and final rulemaking to analyze the impacts of, and garner public comment on, measures to restrict the shift of federal lobster permits into American Lobster Conservation Management Area 1 (LCMA 1).  In 0648-AX40, NMFS published an ANPRM in the Federal Register which served as a control date announcement to inform the public and interested parties that deliberations have begun that may affect business investments or restrict future access into the lobster trap fishery in the EEZ waters of LCMA 1, which encompasses the nearshore waters of the Gulf of Maine.  Ultimately this regulatory action may result in a limited entry program for Federal American lobster vessels in LCMA 1.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit (ACL) Amendment for the U.S. Caribbean</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MRSA: Pub. L. 94-265), as amended through January 12, 2007, requires the establishment of annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) during 2011 for those species that are not considered to be overfished or undergoing overfishing.  This 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 various species and species groups in the reef fish, lobster, conch, and corals fishery management plans.  Alternatives are included in the draft amendment that provide for maintenance of the status quo for each action as well as for various modifications as necessary to achieve MSRA mandates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Electronic Mobile Transmitting Unit Vessel Monitoring Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is preparing a rule that considers requiring the replacement of currently required Mobile Transmitting Unit (MTU) Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) units with Electronic Mobile Transmitting Unit (E-MTU) VMS units in Atlantic HMS fisheries.  The rule would also consider implementing a declaration system where vessels declare target species and gear type used and requiring that a certified marine electrician install all E-MTU VMS units.  The purpose of this rulemaking would be to remove out-dated MTU VMS units from service in Atlantic HMS fisheries, provide the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association Office of Law Enforcement (NOAA OLE) with enhanced communication with HMS vessels at sea, improve enforcement capabilities of current regulations, provide additional flexibility for future management options, and provides a secondary safety capability that has proven useful, but does not replace, primary safety tools such as Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Management Measures for Tuna Fisheries Operating in the Eastern Pacific Ocean </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes regulations under the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, as amended, to implement decisions of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). At its eighty-first meeting, in September 2010, the IATTC adopted the following three recommendations: (1) Recommendation on Tuna Conservation 2011-2013 (C-10-01); (2) Recommendation on Seabirds (C-10-02); and (3) Recommendation Prohibiting Fishing on Data Buoys (C-10-03). The United States already has domestic seabird conservation measures in place for U.S. longline fisheries that operate in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) that satisfy the requirements under Recommendation C-10-02. Thus, this rule would implement IATTC Recommendations C-10-01 and C-10-03, and update vessel monitoring system (VMS) requirements in the EPO in accordance with IATTC Resolution C-04-06. 
This rule would amend current tuna conservation measures in the longline and purse seine fisheries by (1) reducing the duration of the purse seine closure period in the EPO from 73 to 62 days in 2011 and continuing this purse seine closure period in 2012 and 2013; (2) allowing vessel owners to choose between two closure periods each year rather than requiring the entire U.S. fleet to adhere to one closure period; (3) continuing the 500 metric ton bigeye tuna quota for large-scale longline vessels for 2011-2013; (4) renewing the tuna retention program in the purse seine fishery (5) prohibiting tuna fishing vessels from fishing within one nautical mile of data buoys in the EPO; and (6) requiring tuna fishing vessels over 24 meters in length to install and operate VMS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 15 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (Scallop FMP) was developed by the New England Fishery Management Council (Council) to implement annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) to come into compliance with new requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). In addition, Amendment 15 the Scallop FMP includes measures that would make management of the scallop fishery more effective including:  Modification of the overfishing definition for scallops; an increase in the possession limit for limited access general category (LAGC) vessels; an allowance for carryover of individual fishing quota (IFQ) for LAGC vessels; a provision to enable LAGC vessel owners to permanently transfer IFQ separate from the vessel's LAGC permit; revision of the essential fish habitat closures under the Scallop FMP; and several changes to the scallop research set aside program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Electronic Dealer Reporting Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require all federally-permitted Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) dealers to report commercially-caught HMS (i.e., Atlantic sharks, tunas, and swordfish) to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) through an electronic reporting system.  In addition, this rulemaking would clarify that a dealer is only authorized to buy commercially-caught HMS if the dealer reports have been submitted to NMFS in a timely manner.  Any delinquent reports would need to be submitted and accepted before a dealer could buy commercially-caught HMS.  Finally, this rulemaking would require that all commercially harvested HMS caught by federally-permitted fishermen be offloaded to federally-permitted and certified HMS dealers, who must report the associated catch to NMFS.  These measures are necessary to ensure timely and accurate reporting, which is critical for quota monitoring and management of HMS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 2012 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>Revised Implementing Regulations for Requirements To Publish Textual Descriptions of Boundaries of Critical Habitat</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We (FWS and NMFS; also collectively referred to as the Services) propose to revise the implementing regulations contained within title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations, sections 17.94(b), 226.101, 424.12(c), 424.16(b) and (c)(ii), and 424.18(a), as they relate to publishing textual descriptions of proposed and final critical habitat boundaries in the Federal Register.  In the interest of efficiency, saving taxpayer monies, and making the process of designating critical habitat more user-friendly for affected parties, the public as a whole, and the Services, we are proposing to maintain the publication of maps of proposed and final critical habitat designations, but make optional the inclusion of any textual description of the boundaries of the designation in the Federal Register.  Although the boundaries of critical habitat as mapped or otherwise described in the Regulation Promulgation section of a future rulemaking that is published in the Federal Register will be the official delineation of the designation, we will provide the public with easier to use and more accessible tools that represent the Services' interpretation of which areas are covered by the designation.  These tools will be available on the Internet and at the applicable FWS or NMFS office.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interim Policy Interpreting the Phrase &apos;Significant Portion of its Range&apos; in the Endangered Species Act&apos;s Definitions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed policy interprets the phrase "significant portion of its range" in the Endangered Species Act's definitions of "endangered species" and "threatened species." The phrase is ambiguous and is not defined in the ESA, and its interpretation and application have been subject to litigation.  The FWS's current interpretation, which NMFS did not adopt, has been rejected by the court.  FWS therefore needs to propose an alternative interpretation and seek public review and comment, and because both agencies implement the ESA, we are doing this jointly so that we will have the same guidance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bering Sea Chinook Salmon Economic Data Reporting Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to implement the Chinook Salmon Economic Data Program to evaluate the effectiveness of Chinook salmon bycatch management measures for the Bering Sea pollock fishery that were implemented under Amendment 91 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (FMP).  The proposed rule is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the FMP, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and other applicable law.

To collect the data, NMFS would require submission of each of the following three reports/surveys.  These would be in a fillable electronic format available on the NMFS AKR website.  Representatives of AFA catcher/processor and mothership sectors, inshore cooperatives, the inshore open access fishery, and CDQ groups would be responsible to submit the Chinook EDR.  The Reports/Surveys are: Chinook Salmon PSC Allocation Compensated Transfer Report (CTR); Vessel Fuel Survey; and the Vessel Master Survey.

In addition to these reports/surveys, NMFS would collect new information concerning vessel movements on the fishing grounds and more general data on pollock allocations and transfers through revisions of requirements to the existing IPA Annual Report.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Hawaiian Monk Seal Critical Habitat</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 9, 2008, NMFS received a petition from the Center for Biological Diversity, Kahea, and the Ocean Conservancy to revise the Hawaiian monk seal critical habitat designation by adding the following areas in the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI): Key beach areas, sand spits and islets, including all beach crest vegetation to its deepest extent inland, lagoon waters, inner reef waters, and ocean waters out to a depth of 200 m.  In addition, the Petitioners requested that designated critical habitat in the NWHI be extended to include Sand Island at Midway, as well as ocean waters out to a depth of 500 meters.  On October 3, 2008, NMFS announced in the 90-day finding that the petition presented substantial scientific information indicating that a revision to the current critical habitat designation may be warranted.  On June 12, 2009, in the 12-month finding, NMFS announced that a revision to critical habitat is warranted, on account of new information available regarding habitat use by the Hawaiian monk seal, and announced our intention to proceed towards a proposed rule.   This proposed rule describes the proposed critical habitat designation, including supporting information on Hawaiian monk seal biology, distribution, and habitat use, and the methods used to develop the proposed revision to Hawaiian monk seal critical habitat.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Western and Central Pacific Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species; Restrictions on Fishing in Proximity to Data Buoys</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act, the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to implement regulations to carry out the obligations of the United States under the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention (Convention), including the implementation of decisions of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (Commission).  At its Sixth Regular Session, in December 2009, the Commission adopted a conservation and management measure (CMM) to restrict fishing on and near data buoys in the Commission's area of competence, CMM 2009-05 Conservation and Management Measure Prohibiting Fishing on Data Buoys.  This rule would implement the following provisions of CMM 2009-05: Prohibit highly migratory species (HMS) fishing vessels of the United States, while on the high seas in the Commission's area of competence, from fishing within one nautical mile of a data buoy and from interacting with a data buoy through activities such as encircling a data buoy with fishing gear, tying up to or attaching the vessel, or any fishing gear, part or portion of the fishing vessel, to a data buoy or its mooring, or cutting a data buoy anchor line; prohibit HMS fishing vessels of the United States from taking on board a data buoy while in the Commission's area of competence; and require HMS fishing vessels of the United States that become entangled with data buoys while in the Commission's area of competence to remove the entangled fishing gear with as little damage to the data buoy as possible.  This rule would also correct outdated cross references to other regulations that are in the existing 50 CFR part 300 subpart O.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would implement the Pacific Fishery Management Council's recommendation to modify HMS FMP regulations pertaining to possession and landing limits for swordfish captured in the deep-set tuna longline fishery, contingent on hook type and observer presence.  If using J-hooks (tuna hooks), the trip limit would be ten swordfish.  If using circle hooks, the trip limit would be 25 swordfish.  If carrying an observer, there would be no limit.  Regulations prohibiting shallow-set longline to target swordfish would remain in place.  The current trip limit is 10 regardless of hook type or observer presence.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendments To Implement the Shark Conservation Act and Revise the Definition of Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is amending identification and certification procedures under the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act to help achieve shark conservation in international fisheries.  NMFS must identify nations whose fishing vessels have engaged in high seas fisheries targeting or incidentally catching sharks not subject to a regulatory program for the conservation of sharks comparable to that of the United States, taking into account different conditions, as required under the Shark Conservation Act (Pub. L. 111-348).  NMFS would subsequently certify whether identified nations have adopted regulatory programs governing the conservation of sharks that are comparable to U.S. programs, taking into account different conditions, and established management plans for sharks.  The absence of sufficient steps may lead to prohibitions on the importation of certain fisheries products into the United States and other measures.    

NMFS is also amending the regulatory definition of "illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing" under the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act. 

The procedures for identification and certification would entail a multilateral approach of consultations and negotiations with other nations to achieve shark conservation.  This proposed action is not expected to have adverse economic impacts, and any such impacts would be well below the economic threshold of impact pursuant to E.O. 12866.  In addition, there are no novel legal or policy issues associated with this action since identification and certification procedures have already been established in regulations (50 CFR part 300).  Thus, this action is not significant under the meaning of Executive Order 12866.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; North and South Atlantic 2011 Commercial Swordfish Quotas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would modify the 2011 fishing season quotas for North and South Atlantic swordfish based on recent updated landings information.  This action will also implement recommendations from the 2010 annual meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).  This proposed rule may also include other minor regulatory clarifications.  This rule is necessary to ensure that current swordfish quotas account for underharvests from the 2010 fishing year, consistent with regulations at 50 CFR 635 and ICCAT recommendations that establish the U.S. North and South Atlantic swordfish allocations. This action is not significant under the meaning of Executive Order 12866 since it is below the economic threshold of impact, and has no novel or legal policy issues associated with it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of Regulatory Requirements for the Groundfish Retention Standard (GRS) Program in the BSAI</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This alternative would remove the minimum groundfish retention standards from the GRS program for the Amendment 80 sector.  Specifically, this alternative would remove from 50 CFR 679.27(j) sections (1) through (4) which requires the owners and operators of Amendment 80 vessels and any other catcher/processor not listed in 50 CFR 679.4(1)(i) and Amendment 80 cooperatives using trawl gear in the BSAI to comply with the annual minimum groundfish retention standards.

The alternative would also require the Amendment 80 sector, on an annual basis, to report to the Council its groundfish retention performance. In addition, while selecting a preferred alternative, the Council has made it clear that a third party audit of the sector 's annual groundfish retention performance should be included in the annual Council report. The Council noted that the performance standard and results from the third party audit could be included amongst the other information included in the annual Amendment 80 cooperative report requirement noted in 50 CFR 679.5(s)(6)(iii).       

The proposed alternative is not intended to change observer requirements for the Amendment 80 sector or eliminate the requirement to weigh all groundfish on a certified flow scale; these and other requirements were established under the final rule to implement Amendment 80 and must remain in effect to ensure proper catch accounting under the quota-based catch share program.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the November 20, 2008 JMPR final rule (73 FR 70488) ONMS published the coordinates for certain zones in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS).  Since then, several buoys have been moved or failed, and as such, NOAA is changing the boundary coordinates for these zones.  In addition, several other items were not included in the 2008 final regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary Boundary Expansion</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 ANPRM 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 (CDQ) 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA) Environmental Review Procedure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 107 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA) (Pub.L. 109-479) requires NOAA Fisheries to revise and update agency procedures for complying with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in context of fishery management actions.  It further requires that NOAA Fisheries consult with the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the Regional Fishery Management Councils (Councils), and involve the public in the development of the revised procedures.  The MSRA provides that the resulting procedures will be the sole environmental impact assessment procedure for fishery management actions, and that they must conform to the time lines for review and approval of fishery management plans and plan amendments.  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>

        <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>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.]]></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; Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to Specified Activities; Consolidation of Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Protected Resources of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue a rule redesignating 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Monkfish Fishery; Amendment 5</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The goals of Amendment 5 are to bring the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) into compliance with the new requirements of the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), specifically to establish annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs), and to manage the fishery at long-term sustainable levels.  Amendment 5 will establish revised biological and management reference points to be consistent with the MSA and recent scientific advice; establish ACLs that are equivalent to the acceptable biological catch (ABC) for each management area; establish a reactive AM that requires the ACL to be adjusted if an overage occurs; establish annual catch targets (ACTs) for each management area as proactive AMs account for management uncertainty; specify days-at-sea (DAS) allocations and trip limits for each management area; authorize the landing of monkfish heads separate from the rest of the fish; and establish a provision that would authorize a vessel to land one additional day's worth of monkfish and have its DAS usage charged accordingly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>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>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.  This 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, this 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consolidation of Tables and Figures Related to 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 was 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.]]></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>

        <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[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 action 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>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; and 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>Amendment to Limit Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) Fixed Gear Catcher Processors Fishing for Pacific Cod in State of Alaska Parallel Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes 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's 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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interim Rule 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 Council's 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>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>Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to  U.S. Navy Training Exercises in the Gulf of Alaska Temporary Maritime Activities Area
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In March, 2009, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from the U.S. Navy (Navy) for the promulgation of regulations and subsequent issuance of Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to take individuals of 20 species of marine mammals incidental to upcoming Navy training activities to be conducted in the Gulf of Alaska TMAA, over the course of 5 years.  These training activities are classified as military readiness activities and may result in the incidental take of marine mammals present within the Gulf of Alaska TMAA by exposing them to sound from mid-frequency or high-frequency active sonar (MFAS/HFAS) or to underwater detonations at levels that NMFS associates with the take of marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Adjustment 45 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The New England Fishery Management Council (Council) is developing Framework Adjustment 45 to the Northeast Multispecies FMP to implement measures to update status determination criteria for pollock; revise the rebuilding program for Georges Bank yellowtail flounder; revise annual catch limits for several stocks; implement additional sectors, including state-sponsored permit banks; modify a scallop exemption area; revise monitoring requirements; and implement a spawning closure area in the Gulf of Maine.  These measures are expected to continue efforts to rebuild overfished stocks, minimize costs to industry, and increase the economic efficiency of vessel operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Species, Designation of Critical Habitat for Southern Distinct Population Segment of Eulachon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), propose to designate critical habitat for the southern Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of Pacific eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus), which was recently listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  We have proposed 12 specific areas for designation as critical habitat within the states of California, Oregon, and Washington.  The proposed areas are a combination of freshwater creeks and rivers and their associated estuaries which comprise approximately 470 km (292 mi) of habitat.  Three particular areas are proposed for exclusion after evaluating the impacts and benefits associated with tribal land ownership and management by Indian tribes, but no areas are proposed for exclusion based on economic impacts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Trawl Rationalization Program; Partial Release of Groundfish Quota for the Start of the 2011 Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The trawl rationalization program would create 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.  Implementation of the 2011 to 2012 harvest specifications which would distribute portions of the 2011 harvest for a number of groundfish stocks among the trawl fishery participants has been delayed.  This emergency rulemaking would allow issuance of quota pounds based on the lower of either the existing 2010 harvest level or the proposed 2011 harvest level. This allows quota pounds to be issued without risk of exceeding the ultimate annual harvest level; any additional quota allowed by the final 2011 harvest levels will be issued at the time of the 2011 to 2012 harvest specifications final rule.  The rule would also lower the harvest level of one of the groundfish species, based on the most recent science, in order to avoid excess harvest before the final harvest levels are in place. The delay of the 2011 harvest specifications was unanticipated, and therefore NMFS will be using its emergency authority to implement this rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tilefish Cost Recovery Regulatory Amendment
				
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulatory amendment to the Tilefish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) will change the cost recovery regulations to require the first year fee percentage to be calculated based on the actual costs associated with the management, data collection and analysis, and enforcement of the individual fishing quota (IFQ) allocation program (not to exceed 3 percent) rather than be set at a fixed 3 percent.  The rule would also clarify the payment compliance language.

An APA waiver to go straight to final rule and skip the cooling off period is currently being sought.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of Regulations Governing the Retention of Incidentally-Caught Highly Migratory Species in Atlantic Trawl Fisheries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to modify the regulations governing Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS) to address the retention of incidentally-caught North Atlantic swordfish in squid trawl fisheries, and the retention of incidentally caught species in the smoothhound shark complex (which includes smooth dogfish and Florida smoothhound (genus Mustelus)) in all Atlantic trawl fisheries.  Trawl gear is not authorized in Atlantic HMS fisheries, but an allowance for the retention of incidentally-caught swordfish in trawl gears has been established to reduce regulatory discards.  This rule would consider modifying the allowance for incidentally-caught HMS in trawl gears to reduce regulatory dead discards, to the extent practicable, by converting discards into landings, improve fishery data collection, provide additional opportunities for the U.S. swordfish quota to be caught, and accommodate traditional fishing methods (i.e., trawls) that incidentally capture North Atlantic swordfish and smoothhound shark species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries in the Eastern Pacific Ocean; Pelagic Fisheries; Vessel Identification Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would allow vessels that fish for highly migratory species (HMS) on the high seas off the U.S. West Coast to be marked with the vessel's International Telecommunication Union Radio Call Sign (IRCS).  The revisions would also provide that if an IRCS has not been assigned to the vessel, the marking may consist of the vessel's Federal, state, or tribal official number, preceded by the characters "USA."  The intent of the proposed action is to bring the existing vessel identification requirements at 50 CFR 660.704 [general HMS fisheries regulations under a fishery management plan] and 300.173 [regulations governing fishing under the U.S.-Canada Albacore Treaty] into conformity with the binding vessel identification requirements adopted by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), and which were imposed in early 2010 on U.S. fishing vessels fishing in the Convention Area under the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention (75 FR 3335, January 21, 2010).  This action would allow U.S. HMS fishing vessels in the Eastern Pacific that also fish in the WCPFC Convention Area to comply with a consistent vessel marking and identification scheme and avoid the burden of switching vessel markings when crossing between ocean areas.  Vessels could opt to continue using their current vessel identification (the only vessels likely to make this choice are those that do not fish in the WCPFC Convention Area).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef To Set Total Allowable Catch for Red Snapper</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would adjust the commercial and recreational quotas of red snapper to 3.66 and 3.525 MP, respectively, consistent with the 51:49 ratio for the commercial and recreational allocation of red snapper established in Amendment 1 to the FMP.  NOAA Fisheries Service's will provide an estimated projection for the number of days in the 2011 recreational fishing season after the 2010 harvest numbers are received.

In addition, NOAA Fisheries Service proposes to make administrative adjustments to the reef fish individual fishing quota program via the authority in  305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act.  This action would revise the definition of "actual ex-vessel value" in  622.2 of the regulations.  The intent of this revision is to allow NOAA Fisheries Service to more accurately analyze the total value of the Gulf red snapper and grouper and tilefish fisheries.  Similarly, NOAA Fisheries Service is proposing to revise regulations at  622.16 and  622.20 to extend the existing 12-hour maintenance window with an additional 8 hours to allow for more time to conduct end of year maintenance.  It also clarifies how fishermen can submit an IFQ landing notification during the maintenance window.

Lastly, NOAA Fisheries Service is proposing to remove an obsolete regulation.  Regulations implementing  Amendment 30B to the FMP, removed the February 15 to March 15 seasonal closure of the commercial sector of the Gulf reef fish fishery for gag, red grouper, and black grouper.  However, NOAA Fisheries Service inadvertently did not remove S 622.45(c)(4) in the final rule for Amendment 30B, which includes the prohibition on the sale/purchase of gag, black grouper, or red grouper harvested from the Gulf by a vessel with a valid Federal commercial permit for Gulf reef fish from February 15 until March 15, each year.  This action proposes to remove this obsolete paragraph.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Quotas and Atlantic Tuna Fisheries Management Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would modify Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) base quotas for all domestic fishing categories; establish BFT quota specifications for the 2011 fishing year; reinstate pelagic longline target catch requirements for retaining BFT in the Northeast Distant Gear Restricted Area (NED); amend the Atlantic tunas possession at sea and landing regulations to allow removal of tail lobes; and clarify the transfer at sea regulations for Atlantic tunas.  This action is necessary to implement recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), as required by the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA), and to achieve domestic management objectives under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).  NMFS solicits written comments and will hold public hearings to receive oral comments on these actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals: U.S. Navy Training; U.S. Navy Training in the Southern California Range Complex; and U.S. Navy&apos;s Atlantic Fleet Active Training</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In January 2009, pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS issued three 5-year final regulations to govern the unintentional taking of marine mammals incidental to Navy training and associated activities conducted in the Hawaii Range Complex (HRC), the Southern California Range Complex (SOCAL Range Complex), and the Atlantic Fleet Active Sonar Training (AFAST) Study Area.  These regulations, which allow for the issuance of "Letters of Authorization" (LOAs) for the incidental take of marine mammals during the specified activities and described timeframes, prescribe the permissible methods of taking and other means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact on marine mammal species or stocks and their habitat, as well as requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of such taking.

The specified activities in these rules are strictly quantified by amounts of individual sound sources that will be used over the course of the 5-year rules, and the rules indicate that marine mammal take may only be authorized in an LOA incidental to the source types and amounts described.  Specifically, no language was initially included expressly allowing for deviation from those precise levels of source use if the total number of takes remain within the analyzed and authorized limits.  Since the issuance of the 2009 rules, the Navy realized that their evolving training programs, which are linked to real world events, necessitate greater flexibility in the types and amounts of sound sources that they use.  In response to this need, when the Navy requested incidental take authorizations for other areas (e.g., the Mariana Islands and the Northwest Training Range Complexes), NMFS included language explicitly allowing for greater flexibility.  NMFS has, through this interim final rule, amended the HRC, SOCAL Range Complex, and AFAST regulations to explicitly allow for greater flexibility in the types and amount of sound sources that they use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Framework Adjustment 1 to the Skate FMP would adjust the possession limits for the skate wing fishery in order to slow the rate of skate wing landings, so that the available Total Allowable Landings limit (TAL) is taken by the fishery over a longer duration in the fishing year than occurred in 2010.  The action would also allow vessels that process skate wings at sea to land skate carcasses for sale into the bait market, without counting the carcass landings against the TAL (skate wings are already converted to live weight for monitoring).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2011 Gulf of Mexico Gag Recreational and Commercial Management Measures </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 11, 2009, the NMFS Regional Administrator notified the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) of his determination that the gag stock was both overfished and undergoing overfishing, based on the results of the 2009 update assessment of the Gulf of Mexico gag stock.  Therefore, the stock needs to be rebuilt.  The Council is currently developing Amendment 32 to the Fishery Management Plan 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 ready for implementation until 2012.  In addition, questions with how discarded fish were applied in the assessment delayed final management recommendations until these issues could be resolved.  Therefore, the Council requested an interim rule effective January 1, 2011, to set a conservative gag quota, temporarily rescind the use of multi-use individual fishing quota allocation so it cannot be used to harvest gag, and set the gag recreational harvest to zero with the intent to increase the quota and allow a recreational season once the assessment was finalized.  The assessment was rerun in December 2010 addressing the problems with discards and was reviewed in January 2011.  Based on the assessment, the Council has recommended another interim rule that would raise the commercial quota to 430,000 pounds gutted weight, continue to rescind the use of multi-use individual fishing quota allocation, and allow a fall recreational season using the current bag limit.  Long-term measures including a rebuilding plan are still being developed in Amendment 32 for implementation in 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interpretive Rule for Charter Halibut Limited Access Program Regulations in Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interpretive rule clarifies regulations that apply to vessels operating in the guided sport (charter) fishery for halibut in International Pacific Halibut Commission Management Area 2C (Southeast Alaska) and Area 3A (Central Gulf of Alaska).  Under regulations implementing the charter halibut limited access program, all vessel operators in Area 2C and Area 3A with charter vessel anglers on board catching and retaining halibut must have a valid charter halibut permit that was issued by NMFS on board the vessel.  This interpretive rule clarifies that charter halibut limited access program regulations require a vessel operator to have a charter halibut permit on board at all times when the charter vessel guide on board the vessel is being compensated to provide sport fishing assistance to anglers catching and retaining halibut.  A charter vessel guide is not required to have a CHP on board a vessel during a recreational halibut fishing trip on which he or she is not being compensated to provide sport fishing assistance to the anglers on board.]]></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 by 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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <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>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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Naval Training Operations at the East Coast Shallow Water Training Range </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has received a request from the U.S. Navy for an authorization under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to take marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to naval vessels conducting shallow water anti-submarine training exercises in a specified area along the U.S. East Coast.  As a result of this request, NMFS is proposing regulations that, if implemented, would govern the incidental taking of marine mammals by harassment and non-serious auditory impairment.  In order to promulgate regulations and issue Letters of Authorization thereunder, NMFS must determine that these takings will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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>Certification of Nations Whose Fishing Vessels Are Engaged in IUU Fishing or Bycatch of Protected Living Marine Resources</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (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 which amended the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act.  Under the final regulations, NMFS would subsequently certify whether identified nations have taken appropriate corrective action with respect to the activities of its fishing vessels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Several sections of the Federal groundfish regulations at 50 CFR 660 are outdated and should be updated.  This rulemaking corrects outdated regulatory references, updates Federal permit regulations at 660.331-.341 to reflect the closure of the sablefish tier application period, and consolidates those regulations so that they read more clearly.  This rulemaking also updates participation rules for the tier sablefish fishery to reflect more recent changes in reporting technology.  This rule is needed to update the regulations so that they are more user-friendly for the regulated public.]]></ABSTRACT>

Specifically, this action: Modifies the current permit issuance process so that observer and observer provider permit issuance is a discretionary National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) decision; amends 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; requires that observer providers submit policies related to these activities and continue to notify NMFS upon learning of an incident; revises 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; revises the definition of "fishing day" in Federal regulations; requires observer providers to annually submit detailed economic information to NMFS; specifies a date by which observers who have collected data in the previous fishing year would be required to be available for debriefing; and implements housekeeping issues related to errors or clarifications in existing regulations at 50 CFR 679.50.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Take and Import Marine Mammals: Proposed Rule for Take of Marine Mammals Incidental to Routine Operations of 13 Power Generating Stations in Central and Southern California</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>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; 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) (Pub. L. 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>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[This rule modifies 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 for Highly Migratory Species (HMS), from December 1 through the end of February each year, as well as impose a year-round prohibition of bottom tending gear (i.e., traps, pots, gillnets, trammel nets, and bottom longlines).  This action prohibits fishing for and possession of council managed reef fish species 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 1950s and 1960s, continued decline during the 1970s, 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>Amendment 17B to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Revisions to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (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 Council's 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 17B would: (1) Establish ACLs and accountability measures for snowy grouper, speckled hind, Warsaw grouper, black grouper, red grouper, golden tilefish, black sea bass, gag, and vermilion snapper; (2) implement management measures to ensure harvest of these snapper-grouper species does not exceed the ACLs; (3) specify allocations for golden tilefish; and (4) modify the current snapper-grouper framework procedure to include ACLs, AMs, and annual catch targets.]]></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>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>Reduce Bycatch of Sea Turtles in the Bottom Longline Component of the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 85"30'W 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>

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.

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>List of Fisheries for 2011</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would publish the annual List of Fisheries (LOF), as required by section 118 of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).  The LOF for 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 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 to 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 that 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>Removal of Redundant Requirements for the American Fisheries Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 currently 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An emergency action is being initiated to revise the fishing year 2010 pollock catch limits in the Northeast Multispecies Fishery.  Revision to the pollock catch limits for fishing year 2010 may be warranted based upon a new stock assessment for pollock that will be completed in June 2010.  This action is being initiated based upon preliminary information, prior to completion of the pertinent stock assessment process (i.e., compilation of data, analysis, and peer review) in order to expedite the implementation of any changes to catch limits that may be warranted.]]></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, this 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. 973-973r), this rule modifies 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 also establishes a system for allocating licenses in the event more applications are received than there are licenses available.  The rule also modifies 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 allocation system and modifications to the license application procedures pertain only to the application process up to the point of approval by the NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Administrator.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>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 percent 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>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>Emergency Rule To Suspend Some Regulatory Requirements of the Groundfish Retention Standard Program in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this emergency rule, NMFS is suspending the groundfish retention standard (GRS) program in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Island management area for trawl catcher/processor vessels (C/Ps) that are not listed in the American Fisheries Act (AFA) as catcher/processors at 50 CFR 679.4(l)(2)(i), referred to throughout this rule as non-AFA trawl C/Ps.  The GRS program was implemented to increase the retention and utilization of groundfish caught by the non-AFA trawl C/Ps and respond to bycatch reduction goals described in National Standard 9.  An emergency exists because the regulatory stipulations used to monitor and enforce the 85 percent GRS established for 2011 require a level of retention much higher than that intended by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council, could undermine fishing cooperative formation activities because some vessels are unable to meet this retention standard, and could require other vessels to operate in a manner that is economical unviable or stop fishing altogether.  Further, the enforcement costs of the GRS program have escalated with application of the GRS to fishing cooperative(s) and undermine effective enforcement and prosecution of non-compliance. This emergency rule is necessary to suspend the regulatory provisions of the GRS program and allow non AFA trawl C/Ps to maintain ongoing incentives to minimize groundfish discard through cooperative agreements. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutians Islands Area, and other applicable law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Control Date for the King and Spanish Mackerel of the South Atlantic</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS announces that it is establishing a new control date to control future access to the king and Spanish mackerel components of the coastal migratory pelagic fishery operating in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the South Atlantic.  If changes to the management regime are developed and implemented under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), a control date could be used to further limit the number of participants in the fishery.  This announcement is intended, in part, to promote awareness of the potential eligibility criteria for future access so as to discourage speculative entry into the fishery while the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) and NMFS consider whether and how access to the fishery should be controlled.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>A Control Date for the Purpose of Limiting Excessive Accumulation of Control of the Northeast  Multispecies Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The New England Fishery Management Council (Council) voted at its January 2011, meeting to establish a control date for accumulation limits in the NE multispecies fishery.  This Federal Register document will establish the control date as the date of publication in the Federal Register, and promote awareness of the potential development of management measures that would restrict excessive consolidation in the fishery and to discourage speculative behavior in the market for quota or days-at-sea while the Council considers whether and how management measures should be developed.]]></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>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>

        <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, this action: (1) Revises 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) revises 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) deletes many of the appeal brief requirements and modifying the rules to make other requirements more flexible; (4) requires the examiner to designate any rejection in the answer that relies upon new evidence as a new ground of rejection; (5) allows 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) eliminates the examiner's response to a reply brief.]]></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, publish statutory invention registrations more quickly, and 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 (Office) proposes 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) revises 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.  Therefore, the Office is inviting public comment on any aspect of IDS practice that can be improved.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Implement Optional Pre-Appeal Brief Procedures for Patent Applications </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) implemented the pre-appeal brief conference pilot program in which applicant has an option to request that a panel of experienced examining staff conducts a detailed review of the rejections of record before the actual filing of an appeal brief if applicant feels that the examiner's rejections are clearly not proper and are without basis.  The USPTO is proposing to make permanent the pre-appeal brief conference pilot program, and to provide an additional optional procedure in which applicant may present oral arguments to a panel of experienced examining staff before the pre-appeal brief conference is conducted by filing a request and a specified fee.  The optional pre-appeal brief 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 USPTO is proposing to revise the rules of practice to provide for the fee to implement the optional procedure for pre-appeal brief conference and oral presentation of arguments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Examination Fees and Implementation of Alternatives to the Request for Continued Examination</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is proposing to amend the rules of practice to adjust the request for continued examination fee.  The current request for continued examination fee is not set at an amount that recovers the Office's costs of the processing and examination provided when a request for continued examination is filed in an application.  The Office is proposing to adjust the request for continued examination fee so that it more accurately reflects the Office's costs when a request for continued examination is filed in an application.  In addition, the Office is proposing to revise the rules of practice to implement a procedure under which applicant may obtain consideration of an amendment or evidence filed after a final Office action or a notice of appeal by paying a specified fee.  The Office is also proposing to revise the rules of practice to provide a procedure under which an applicant may obtain consideration of an information disclosure statement filed after payment of the issue fee by filing a petition to withdraw the application from issue including the petition fee, a certified statement, and a specified fee.  The procedures will reduce the number of situations where applicant would need to file a request for continued examination.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Patent Term Extension and Adjustment Provisions Relating to Appellate Review and Information Disclosure Statements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is proposing to revise the patent term adjustment and extension provisions of the rules of practice in patent cases.  The patent term adjustment provisions of the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 (AIPA) and the patent term extension provisions of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) each provide for patent term extension or adjustment if the issuance of the patent was delayed due to appellate review by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (BPAI) or by a Federal court and the patent was issued pursuant to or under a decision in the review reversing an adverse determination of patentability.  The Office is proposing to change the rules of practice to indicate that in most circumstances an examiner reopening prosecution of the application after a notice of appeal has been filed will be considered a decision in the review reversing an adverse determination of patentability for purposes of patent term adjustment or extension purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes To Implement the Prioritized Examination Track (Track I) of the Enhanced Examination Timing Control Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) requested comments on a proposal to provide applicants with greater control over when their utility and plant applications are examined and to promote greater efficiency in the patent examination process (3-Track).  The Office, in addition to requesting written comments, conducted a public meeting to collect input, and has subsequently considered the wide range of comments received.  The Office is in the process of refining the 3-Track proposal in light of the input.  While that process continues, and in light of that fact that the vast majority of public input was supportive of the Track I portion of the 3-Track proposal, the Office proposes to proceed with immediate implementation of the Prioritized Examination Track (Track I), providing fast examination for applicants desiring it, upon payment of the applicable fee and compliance with the additional requirements as described below.]]></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 this 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>

        <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>

This action is being taken as part of the implementation of the export control modernization announced by President Obama on August 13, 2009.  Clarifying the meaning of the term "specially designed" has been noted by the public and BIS's Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) as one of the most important improvements that could be made to the CCL, so BIS decided to place a priority on clarifying the meaning of this term on the CCL as part of export control modernization.

In addition to proposing to clarify the meaning of the term "specially designed" in this rule, BIS is consulting with the U.S. Departments of Defense and State and its Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) to evaluate a number of other EAR defined terms to identify additional revisions that could be made to improve the clarity of these other definitions, create greater harmonization for how these other terms are used on the CCL and on the United States Munitions List (USML) and lay the groundwork for moving toward a single control list.  BIS will likely publish additional rules in 2011 to implement some of these additional changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to Address the Movement of Less Significant Items From the United States Munitions List (USML) to the Commerce Control List (CCL)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In August 2009, President Obama directed a fundamental review of the U.S. Export control system be conducted.  This review included a fundamental review of the two primary control lists of the U.S. Export control system (i.e., the Commerce Control List (CCL) and the United States Munitions List (USML)).  In December 2010, the Departments of Commerce and State each published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM requesting public comments on creating more "positive" and clear control lists and recommendations for how items listed on the two control lists could be tiered based on criteria developed during the Export Control Reform (ECR) initiative.

An integral part of creating a "positive" USML requires a proper control structure be put into place under the EAR to appropriately control the less significant items moved from the USML to the CCL, which is the subject of this proposed rule.  This proposed rule outlines the control structure developed under the ECR initiative to ensure appropriate controls are in place for these less significant items moved from the USML to the CCL.]]></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 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>

        <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>Export Control Modernization:  Strategic Trade Authorization License Exception</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement the initial stage of the Administration's new licensing policies for dual-use items.  The new policies are part of the Administration's larger export control reform effort.  The rule would implement the new licensing policies by creating a new license exception that would allow certain dual-use items to be exported and reexported with conditions to specific countries without a license that would otherwise be required.  The conditions would likely include end-use restrictions, reexport limitations, requirements for assurances by the consignee or end-user, reporting requirements that distinguish between end-users and distributors, and recordkeeping requirements.  The conditional license-free treatment of items to specific countries where there are lower risks of diversion to end-uses and end-users of concern to the United States is part of the larger Administration effort to focus export control resources at levels commensurate with the risk imposed by the transaction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Understandings Reached at the 2010 Australia Group (AG) Plenary Meeting and Other AG-Related Clarifications and Corrections to the EAR</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is publishing this rule to amend the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the understandings reached at the June 2010 plenary meeting of the Australia Group (AG), and to make certain AG-related editorial clarifications and corrections to the EAR.  Consistent with the June 2010 AG understandings, this rule amends the chemical manufacturing equipment entry on the Commerce Control List (CCL) of the EAR to reflect the addition of two parenthetical phrases that clarify the description of certain "materials" contained in items on the AG "Control List of Dual-Use Chemical Manufacturing Facilities and Equipment and Related Technology and Software."  In addition, this rule makes certain AG-related clarifications and corrections to the EAR.  Specifically, this rule amends the human and zoonotic pathogens and toxins entry and the animal pathogens entry on the CCL by making an update and a clarification, consistent with the description of certain items on the AG "List of Biological Agents for Export Control" and the AG "List of Animal Pathogens for Export Control," respectively.  Finally, this rule amends the listing for "valves," in the chemical manufacturing equipment entry on the CCL, to clarify that this entry controls "valves" for the "production" of chemicals, as well as "valves" for the "processing" and/or "containment" of chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL), which identifies items subject to Department of Commerce export controls.  This final rule revises the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement changes made to the Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar List) maintained and agreed to by governments participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement, or WA) at the December 2010 WA Plenary Meeting (the Plenary).  The Wassenaar Arrangement advocates implementation of effective export controls on strategic items with the objective of improving regional and international security and stability.  To harmonize with the changes made to the Wassenaar List at the Plenary, this rule revises the EAR by amending certain entries that are controlled for national security reasons in Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Parts I & II, 6, 7, 8 and 9, revising reporting requirements, and adding and amending EAR Definitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Additional Changes From the Annual Review of the Entity List; Removal of Person Based on Removal Request</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement additional changes to the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to part 744) on the basis of the annual review of the Entity List conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC).  The changes from the annual review are implemented in three rules.  The first rule published on May 28, 2010 (75 FR 29884) implemented the results of the annual review for listed entities located in Canada, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.  The second rule published on 12/17/2010 (75 FR 7883) implemented the results of the annual review for entities located in China and Russia.

The third rule, which is the subject of this rulemaking, implements the results of the annual review for entities located in Iran, Pakistan, Syria and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).  This rule also removes one person located in the United Kingdom from the Entity List.  This person is being removed from the Entity List as a result of a request for removal submitted by that person, a review of information provided in the removal request in accordance with section 744.16 (Procedure for requesting removal or modification of an Entity List entity), and further review conducted by the End-User Review Committee's (ERC) member agencies.

The Entity List provides notice to the public that certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to entities identified on the Entity List require a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions is limited.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of a Decision Adopted Under the AG Intersessional Silent Approval Procedures in 2010</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement a decision based on a proposal that was discussed at the 2010 AG Plenary and adopted under the AG intersessional silent approval procedures in November 2010.  This rule amends the EAR, consistent with the intersessional changes to the AG's "List of Biological Agents for Export Control," to clarify the scope of the AG-related controls in the EAR for "South American haemorrhagic fever (Sabia, Flexal, Guanarito)" and "Pulmonary and renal syndrome-haemorrhagic fever viruses (Seoul, Dobrava, Puumala, Sin Nombre)."  Specifically, this rule amends the Commerce Control List (CCL) entry that controls human and zoonotic pathogens and "toxins" by revising the list of viruses in the entry to remove these two fevers and replace them with ten viral causative agents for the fevers.  These changes are intended to more clearly identify the causative agents that are of concern for purposes of the controls maintained by the AG.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Wassenaar Arrangement 2009 Plenary Agreements Implementation: ECCN 4A003, Movement of Albania and Croatia to Computer Tier 1, and Related Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement changes made to the Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar List) maintained and agreed to by governments participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement, or WA) at the December 2009 WA Plenary Meeting (the Plenary) that relate to Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 4A003.  These changes agreed to at the Plenary pertain to raising the Adjusted Peak Performance (APP) for digital computers in ECCN 4A003.  The President's report for High Performance Computers was sent to Congress on February 7, 2011, to set forth the new APP in accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 1998.  This rule also makes corresponding revisions to License Exception APP, the de minimis rule, and post shipment verification reporting requirements in the EAR.

This rule also moves Albania and Croatia from Computer Tier 3 to Computer Tier 1 in the section of the EAR dedicated to export control requirements for high performance computers.  The Administration believes Albania and Croatia are eligible to be treated as Computer Tier 1 countries because their governments have made the necessary reforms to bring the countries into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and have adopted the accepted global standards in export controls.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the License Exception GOV provisions in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to authorize exports and reexports of certain items for official International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspection and verification use in accordance with the terms of the Agreement Between the United States of America and the International Atomic Energy Agency for the Application of Safeguards in the United States, and Protocol thereto (U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreement), as amended by the U.S.-IAEA Additional Protocol (Additional Protocol).  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>

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>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 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 Software and Other Specified Publicly Available Encryption Software in 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 object code software with a symmetric key length greater than 64-bits, and "publicly available" encryption object code classified under Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5D002 on the Commerce Control List when the corresponding source code meets the criteria specified under License Exception TSU.  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 classified under ECCN 5D002, but it will result in a simplification of the regulatory provisions for publicly available mass market software and specified encryption software in object code.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Additional Changes From the Annual Review of the Entity List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement additional changes to the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744) on the basis of the annual review of the Entity List conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC).  The changes from the annual review will be implemented in three rules.  The first rule, published on May 28, 2010 (75 FR 29884), implemented the results of the annual review for listed entities located in Canada, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

The second rule implements the results of the annual review for entities located in China and Russia.  This rule removes five entities from the Entity List under Russia and makes twenty-one modifications to the Entity List (consisting of modifications to eighteen Chinese entries and three Russian entries currently on the Entity List) by adding addresses, aliases and/or clarifying the names for these twenty-one entities.    

The third rule, which will likely be published in early 2011, will implement the remaining results of the annual review.
 
The Entity List provides notice to the public that certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to entities identified on the Entity List require a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions is limited.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Existing Validated End-User Authorization in the People&apos;s Republic of China: Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to remove one facility from the list of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) facilities authorized to receive certain items in the People's Republic of China (PRC) under SMIC's validated end-user authorization.  Specifically, in this rule, BIS removes Cension Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (Cension) from SMIC's list of approved facilities in the PRC due to a material change at SMIC.  This amendment is not the result of prohibited activities by Cension or by SMIC.  This amendment does not establish a new license requirement or a more restrictive licensing policy for exports, reexports or transfers of items to the facility identified in this rule; license requirements set forth in the EAR continue to apply to this facility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Updated Statements of Legal Authority To Reflect Continuation of Emergency Declared in Executive Order 12938</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In Executive Order 12938, of November 14, 1994 (59 FR 59099, 3 CFR, 1994 Comp., p. 950), the President declared a national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy and economy of the United States posed by the proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and the means of delivering such weapons.  The authority for parts 730, 734, 736, 742, 744 and 745 of the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts 730, 734, 736, 742, 744 and 745)  is based in part on Exectuve Order 12983 (as amended) and successive annual notices in which the President continued the emergency declared in that Executive order.  The authority conveyed by most recent such notice will expire on November 14, 2010.  BIS expects that, before such expiration, the President will issue a notice continuing the emergency declared in Executive Order 12938 for another year.

This rule updates the authority citations paragraphs for parts, 730, 734, 736, 742, 744 and 745 of the EAR to include a citation to the notice that BIS expects the President to issue.  The rule updating the authority citations must be published in 2010 for those citations to be included in the January 1, 2011 compilation of Title 15 of the Code of Federal Regulations.  This rule makes no changes to the text of the EAR.  This rule will not alter any right, obligation or prohibition that currently applies to any person under the EAR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Radiation Sources on Army Land</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Army amended 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, revised the regulation to reflect the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's changes to licensing of Naturally Occurring or Accelerator Produced Material (NARM).]]></ABSTRACT>

The Corps also proposed to amend the regulation to allow district engineers to issue verification letters that can have the same expiration date as the nationwide permit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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; Continued Health Care Benefit Program Expansion </RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Safeguarding Unclassified DoD Information (DFARS Case 2008-D028)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to add a DFARS subpart and associated contract clauses to address requirements for the safeguarding of unclassified information within contractor information systems.  This rule addresses the safeguarding requirements specified in Executive Order 13556, Controlled Unclassified Information.  The purpose of this proposed DFARS rule is to implement adequate security measures to safeguard unclassified DoD information within contractor information systems from unauthorized access and disclosure, and to prescribe reporting to DoD certain events that affect DoD information existing in or traveling through contractor unclassified information systems.  DoD published an Advance Notice of proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) and notice of public meeting in the Federal Register at 75 FR 9563 on March 3, 2010, to provide the public an opporutnity for input into the initial rulemaking process.  The ANPR addressed basic and enhanced safeguarding procedures for the protection of DoD information.  DoD estimates that the rule will apply to approximately 76 percent of the small businesses that will be required to provide protection of DoD information at an enhanced level.  DoD will invite comments from small business concerns and other interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Construction and Architect-Engineer Services Performance Evaluation (DFARS Case 2010-D024)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to remove the requirement to prepare contractor performance evaluations for construction and architect-engineer services by using DoD-unique forms. In 2010, consistent with the Office of Federal Procurement Policy memorandum dated July 29, 2008, Improving the Use of Contractor Performance Information, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) was named as the sole system for collecting past-performance information.  As such, CPARS will support Governmentwide data collection requirements for contractor past performance reporting, to include construction and A&E contracts, and DFARS is being updated to delete the outdated procedures and references to the obsolete DoD forms.  The clarifications proposed require no additional effort by contractors as the changes simply update the DFARS to reflect the current automated process being used. CPARS is already being used by DoD personnel to report construction and A&E services contractor past performance, and the DFARS is merely being updated to remove references to obsolete forms and procedures and reflect the current process.  No start-up costs are expected as only Internet access is required should small entities elect to comment on their past performance rating in CPARS. Accordingly, any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Representation Regarding Compensation of Former DoD Officials (DFARS Case 2010-D020)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to require that offerors represent whether former DoD officials employed by the offeror are in compliance with post-employment restrictions concerning post-government employment for DoD and other Federal employees after leaving Government employment. The proposed rule will require offerors to submit representations at the time of contract award that all former DoD officials that are covered by the Procurement Integrity Act are in compliance with post-employment restrictions set forth in DFARS 203.171-3 and DFARS 252.203-7000.  The representation goes further in also requiring a representation that former DoD employees employed by the contractor are also in compliance with additional post-employment restrictions. This representation will be required in contracts for commercial items. 

There is no impact on the offeror unless the former DoD officials covered by the Procurement Integrity Act are not in compliance with the postemployment restrictions. In order to submit an offer, small entities that hire a former DoD official covered by the Procurement Integrity Act will have to check the compliance of such employees with various applicable post-employment restrictions.  

DFARS 252.203-7000, Requirements Relating to Compensation of Former DoD Officials, already requires contractors to determine that a covered DoD official has sought and received, or has not received after 30 days of seeking, a written opinion from the appropriate DoD ethics counselor, regarding the applicability of post-employment restrictions to the activities that the official is expected to undertake on behalf of the contractor.  Therefore, this representation of compliance does not impose an additional burden on the offeror.  Any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Option to Extend Services (DFARS Case 2011-D003)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide a DoD alternative to the FAR clause "Option to Extend Services" in order to clarify and appropriately limit the use of this specialized authority in response to two General Accountability Office decisions. The DFARS clause will be included in contracts for services to provide the Government with a means for continuing performance without a break in service when a follow-on contract is not in place at the end of the current contract's performance period ( whether that is the basic contract period or an option period). The clause can be exercised only in extreme circumstances. The intent of the clause is to provide the Government the unilateral right to a brief extension of services, at current contract rates (unless there is a new Department of Labor (DOL) wage determination), and for a period not to exceed a total of six months (per contract, including all options). The rule will not result in any additional burdens on small businesses.  It merely relocates an existing Government tool from the FAR to the DFARS and aids improved communications between DoD and the contractor when extreme circumstances may require continued performance.  Therefore, any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Creation of Representation for Nontraditional Contractor (DFARS Case 2009-D013)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to define the term "nontraditional contractor," and to enable this class of contractors to represent its nontraditional contractor status to DoD. A nontraditional contractor is a contractor or offeror that, for the first time, is offering to DoD commercial items that do not include commercial items as defined in the definition of commercial items at FAR 2.101. or new technology not previously sold by the offeror. This rule provides a DoD-wide definition of nontraditional contractor and enables DOD to identify them.  The objective of the rule is to leverage, to the maximum extent possible, the commercial marketplace in acquiring commercial items offered for the first time by a contractor. By defining what constitutes a nontraditional contractor, DoD will be better positioned to readily identify this class of contractors. This will facilitate and assist the acquiring activity in the drafting of its requirements, and will enable these nontraditional contractors to determine if they can respond to the DoD's needs. The rule will only address the need for a DoD-wide definition of, and representation by, a nontraditional contractor.  It does not impose any substantial requirements and any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ships Bunkers Easy Acquisition (SEA) Card® and Aircraft Ground Services (DFARS Case 2009-D019)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to allow the use of U.S. Government fuel cards in lieu of a Purchase Order-Invoice-Voucher for fuel, oil, and refueling-related items for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. These proposed changes impact the use of both the SEA Card® and the AIR Card®. The military services and the U.S. Coast Guard have small vessels that must procure fuel away from their home stations. Due to their smaller size and unique mission requirements, these vessels are unable to use the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) bunkers contracts at major seaports. DoD proposes to add language at DFARS section 213.306-70(a)(1)(A) to include purchases of marine fuel, oil, and refueling-related items using the SEA Card® in lieu of the SF 44 up to the simplified acquisition threshold. Previously, DFARS 213.306(a)(1)(A) authorized only the use of the Aviation Into-plane Reimbursement (AIR) Card® up to the simplified acquisition threshold specifically for aviation fuel and oil. Refueling stops often include other ground services that exceed the micro-purchase threshold. Due to port restrictions on vessel movements, bunkering merchants do not typically provide support to smaller vessels. These smaller vessels frequent "marina-type merchants." Small vessels fulfill valid mission needs in direct support of national security. Unlike larger vessels with more predictable movements, small vessels' needs are often unpredictable and far-reaching geographically. Adding language at DFARS 213.306-70 (a)(1)(A) to include additional ground services for the AIR Card® and the use of the SEA Card® will improve the refueling capability of aircraft and smaller vessels at non-contract locations. Because substituting use of a fuel card for the Purchase Order-Invoice-Voucher SF 44, will not have a significant effect beyond DoD's internal operating procedures, any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accelerated Payments to Small Business (DFARS Case 2011-D008)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to accelerate payments to all small business concerns. Currently, DoD assists small disadvantaged business concerns by paying them as quickly as possible after invoices are received and before normal payment due dates established in the contract.  This rule proposes removal of the term "disadvantaged" from the language at DFARS 232.903 and DFARS 232.906(a)(ii) extending this assistance to all small business concerns.  This will align the DFARS with the statutory language at 5 CFR 1315.5 and FAR 32.903, which allows agencies to authorize accelerated payment procedures for small businesses.  Because the rule proposes to extend accelerated payment assistance to all small business concerns, a positive economic impact on small business is expected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of &quot;Qualifying Country End Product&quot; (DFARS Case 2011-D028)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the definition of "qualifying country end product" by eliminating the component test for qualifying country end products that are commercially available off-the-shelf items (COTS). DoD proposes to change this definition as a matter of policy, to waive the component test for qualifying country end products that are COTS items, so that it will not be necessary to try to track the origin of components of COTS items that are manufactured in a qualifying country, in order to determine that an end product is a qualifying country end product.  DoD has determined that this rule is not excessively burdensome to the public, and is consistent with a determination signed by the Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy on February 14, 2008, regarding laws applicable to the acquisition of COTS items.  The rule only affects manufacturers of COTS items in qualifying countries, removing an administrative burden for the qualifying country manufacturer and the Government personnel acquiring the items.  The Regulatory Flexibility Act is intended to protect small entities in the United States, not foreign entities, regardless of size.  The comparable change has already been enacted for the benefit of U.S. manufacturers of COTS items.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Presumption of Development at Private Expense (DFARS Case 2007-D003)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 802(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007.  Section 802(b) amended provisions regarding rights in technical data for items developed exclusively at private expense. This rule implements special requirements and procedures related to the validation of a contractor's or subcontractor's asserted restrictions on technical data and computer software.  More specifically, the rule affects these validation procedures for two special categories of items: commercial items (including commercially available off-the-shelf items), and major systems (including subsystems and components of major systems).  The detailed procedures require the contracting officer to presume that the asserted restrictions have been justified (on the basis that the item was developed exclusively at private expense), whether or not the contractor or subcontractor submits a justification in response to the challenge notice issued by the contracting officer.  The contracting officer's challenge may be sustained only if information provided by DoD demonstrates that the item was not developed exclusively at private expense.  A contracting officer's challenge to asserted restrictions on technical data relating to a major system shall be sustained unless the contractor or subcontractor submits information demonstrating that the item was developed exclusively at private expense.  Based on the historically low incidence of formal challenges to validate asserted restrictions by small businesses on major systems or subsystems or components of subsystems, economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Acquisition of Commercial Items (DFARS Case 2008-D011)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement sections 805 and 815 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008.  The rule specifies the conditions under which a time-and-materials or labor-hour contract may be used for the acquisition of commercial items.  In addition, the rule addresses the conditions under which major weapon systems and subsystems may be treated as commercial items.  More specifically, the rule provided clarification regarding situations under which a major weapon system, subsystems of major weapon systems, or components and spare parts for major weapon systems, may be acquired using procedures established for the acquisition of commercial items.  The rule also clarified that the terms "general public" and "nongovernmental entities" with regard to sales of commercial items do not include the Federal Government or a State, local, or foreign government.  DoD will adopt the interim rule as a final rule with minor editorial changes.  Because the rule reinforces existing requirements for the appropriate use of commercial acquisition procedures and for ensuring that contract prices are fair and reasonable, economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule, published as an interim rule at 75 FR 65437 on October 25, 2010, amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DARS) to implement section 3504 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009.  Section 3504 addresses requirements that apply to persons who perform work on U.S. flag vessels under DoD contracts for transportation services (called riding gang members).  Members of "riding gangs" perform work beyond standard vessel maintenance and repair while U.S. flag ships are underway.  Such riding gang members must hold a U.S. merchant Mariner's Document or a transportation security card.  Section 3504 also permits exemptions for certain individuals, provided a background check of the individual is conducted.  In accordance with the rule, DoD may not award, renew, or extend, or exercise an option under a charter of, or contract for transport of cargo by, a U.S. flag vessel unless the contract contains the requirements to be met for riding gang members aboard U.S. flag ships transporting DoD cargo.  The requirements of the rule will apply only to entities interested in receiving DoD contracts for transport of DoD cargo.  DoD invited comments from small businesses and other interested parties on the impact of this rule on small entities because it was unable to determine the impact with any accuracy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Defense Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS)  to update policy on the reporting, redistribution, and disposal of Government property in the possession of contractors.  The rule proposes to revise DFARS part 225 for consistency with recent revisions to FAR part 45, government Property, published at 72 FR 27364 on May 15, 2007, that addresses management of Government property in the possession of contractors.  The rule also adds a new property disposal clause entitled Reporting, Reutilization, and Disposal.  The rule imposes no new requirements on small businesses.  It makes no significant change to DoD policy regarding the management of Government property in the possession of contractors.  Any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Business Systems--Definition and Administration (DFARS Case 2009-D038)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule implements the statutory requirements of section 893 of the FY 2011 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and improves the effectiveness of DoD oversight of contractor business systems.  Section 893 set forth statutory requirements for the improvement of contractor business systems to ensure that such systems provide timely, reliable information for the management of DoD programs. This interim rule also addresses comments received under the initial proposed rule (published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2010 (75 FR 2457)) and a second proposed rule (published on December 3, 2010 (75 FR 75550)). Based on the comments received, the requirements of the NDAA, and subsequent revisions to the proposed rule, DoD is publishing this interim rule with request for comments.  

To improve the effectiveness of Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) oversight of contractor business systems, DoD is clarifying the definition and administration of contractor business systems, including  accounting systems, estimating systems, purchasing systems, earned value management systems (EVMS), material management and accounting systems (MMAS), and property management systems, and implementing compliance enforcement mechanisms.  The need to mitigate the Government's risk when contractors fail to comply with the terms and conditions of their contracts by failing to maintain adequate business systems necessitates this rule.

The requirements of the rule will apply to solicitations and contracts that are subject to the Cost Accounting Standards under 41 U.S.C. chapter 15.  Since contracts and subcontracts with small business are exempt from CAS requirements, DoD estimates that this rule will have no impact on small business.  However, DoD is inviting comments from small business concerns and other interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Patents, Data, and Copyrights (DFARS Case 2010-D001)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) part 227 to update and streamline the regulations relating to patents, data, and copyrights. This is a follow-on case to DFARS Case 2003-D049, Patents, Data, and Copyrights. The proposed rule removes text and clauses that are obsolete or unnecessary; relocates and integrates the coverage for computer software and computer software documentation with the coverage for technical data to eliminate redundant coverage for these subjects while retaining the necessary distinctions; eliminates or combines the clauses associated with technical data and computer software, consistent with the revised and streamlined regulatory coverage; relocates, reorganizes, and clarifies the coverage for rights in works; and relocates to the DFARS companion resource, Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI), text that is not regulatory in nature and does not impact the public. Because the rule updates and clarifies DFARS text, but makes no significant change to DoD policy regarding patents, data, and copyrights, any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 814 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 which requires agency heads to notify the congressional defense committees within 30 days after making certain limited determinations to prohibit awards of sole source task or delivery orders that are estimated to exceed $100 million (including all options). In addition, the agency head is required to provide notification, within 30 days of the determination, if the task or delivery order concerns intelligence activities of DoD. The rule solely impacts internal Government operating procedures. The additional notification requirements are within DoD and between DoD agencies and the Congress.  Therefore, the rule is not expected to have a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to further implement section 831 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009. The statute required DoD to develop guidance related to personal services contracts enabling contracting officers to better distinguish between personal services and non-personal services. The rule amends DFARS parts 211 and 237 to (1) require that statements of work or performance work statements clearly distinguish between Government employees and contractor employees and (2) ensure that procedures are adopted to prevent contracts from being awarded or administered as unauthorized personal services contracts.  Because of the differing missions of DoD agencies, the interim rule required agencies to adopt their own procedures.  Because the change solely impacts internal Government operating procedures, any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

This proposed rule stresses that the enforcement of warranties is essential to the effectiveness and efficiency of DoD's material readiness. The capability to track warranties will significantly enhance the ability of DoD to(1) Identify and enforce warranties, (2) Ensure sufficient durations of warranties for specific goods; and (3) Realize improved material readiness.  The rule is structured to reduce burden to contractors and to facilitate data capture.  DoD anticipates that there will be limited, if any, additional costs imposed on small businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ownership or Control by a Foreign Government (DFARS Case 2010-D010)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements revisions to DoD Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 09-019, "Policy Guidance for Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI)." The DTM revises the description of communications security material that is "proscribed information," i.e., that is prohibited from release. In reviewing the DTM, it became apparent that the current wording at Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.209-7002 is potentially misleading. If the DFARS is not changed to be consistent with the revised DTM, contracting officers and contractors will be misinformed as to the meaning of ``proscribed information.'' Because the rule only impacts companies that are owned or controlled by a foreign government, and most small entities, as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, are not owned or controlled by a foreign government, any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Multiyear Contracting (DFARS Case 2009-D026)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule updates and clarifies the requirements of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS)  subpart 217.1 relating to multiyear contracting. This Defense FAR Supplement case was initiated by DoD based on an internal DoD policy decision to perform a comprehensive review of DFARS subpart 217.1, Multiyear Contracting.  This effort includes reorganizing existing coverage for multiyear acquisitions.  Citations to the United States Code, relevant DoD regulations, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation, have been updated.  No changes to existing DoD policy, including implementation of any statutorily mandated acquisition-related thresholds, are being made in this rule.  Because the rule does not change the existing requirements of subpart 217.1 and because these requirements are primarily internal procedures for DoD, any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Discussions Prior to Contract Award (DFARS Case 2010-D013)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule strongly encourages discussions prior to award for source selections of procurements estimated at $100 million or more. The proposed change was recommended by the DoD Source Selection Joint Analysis Team (JAT), chartered by the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics). To improve the quality of high-dollar value, more complex source selections and reduce turbulence and inefficiency resulting from sustained contractor protests, the JAT recommended that discussions prior to award be strongly encouraged for source selections with a dollar value of $100 million or more. DoD research has indicated that holding meaningful discussions with industry prior to contract award on these types of procurements improves both industry's understanding of solicitation requirements and the Government's understanding of industry issues, and often results in better contract performance. The rule does not add to or delete existing regulations on discussions for the vast majority of DoD procurements, i.e., those under $100 million. For the largest procurements of at least $100 million, any increase in discussions is anticipated to benefit all offerors, including small businesses, by providing them an opportunity to explain details of the offer and market their particular capabilities. The opportunity to participate in discussions increases the probability of selection for award, and is, therefore, expected to benefit small business.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reporting of Government-Furnished Property (DFARS Case 2009-D043)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises and expands reporting requirements for Government-furnished property to include items uniquely and non-uniquely identified, and to clarify policy for contractor access to Government supply sources. The clause at Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.211-7007, is being renamed as ``Reporting of Government-Furnished Property,'' and is being revised to expand definitions, and provide guidance on reporting of GFP.  This clause applies to commercial contracts that have GFP and reporting applicability, and is added to the list of solicitation provisions and contract clauses applicable to the acquisition of commercial items at DFARS 212.301. Additionally, the clause at 252.251-7000 is being revised to require electronic receipts of property obtained from Government supply sources. The objective of the rule is to improve the accountability and control of DoD assets. At the time of publication, DoD was unable to estimate the number of small entities to which this rule will apply. Therefore, DoD invited comments from small business concerns and other interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibition on Interrogation of Detainees by Contractor Personnel (DFARS Case 2010-D027)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 1038 of the Fiscal Year 2010 National Defense Implements Authorization Act (Pub. L. 111-84). Section 1038 prohibits contractor personnel from interrogating detainees under the control of the Department of Defense. It also allows the Secretary of Defense to waive the prohibition for a limited period of time, if determined necessary to the national security interests of the United States. The interim rule added coverage at Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 237.173 and a new clause at DFARS 252.237-7010 that prescribes policies prohibiting interrogation of detainees by contractor personnel as required by the statute. The interim rule also addressed permissible support roles for contractors by providing that contractor personnel with proper training and security clearances may be used as linguists, interpreters, report writers, information technology technicians, and other employees filling ancillary positions, including as trainers of, and advisors to, interrogations, if the contractor personnel meet the criteria provided by DoD Instruction 1100.22, Policy and Procedures for Determining Workforce Mix; DoD Directive 2310.01E, The Department of Defense Detainee Program; and DoD Directive 3115.09, DoD Intelligence Interrogations, Detainee Debriefings, and Tactical Questioning.  This rule only prescribed policies that prohibit interrogation of detainees by contractor personnel.  DoD anticipates that there will be no additional costs imposed on small businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Participation of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions in Defense Research Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 252 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 which addresses the establishment of a program to provide assistance to institutions of higher education. Section 252 requires the Secretary of Defense through the Director of Defense Research and Engineering and the Secretary of each military department, carry out a program to provide assistance to covered educational institutions which aid DoD in the areas of defense-related research, development, testing, and evaluation. A "covered educational institution" means (1) an institution of higher education eligible for assistance under titles III or V of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.); or (2) an accredited postsecondary minority institution. The objective of the program is to enhance defense-related research and education at these educational institutions. Under this program, the Secretary of Defense may provide covered educational institutions with funding or technical assistance to support research, development, testing, and evaluation activities and educational enhancements in areas important to national defense through the competitive awarding of contracts and/or the acquisition of research equipment or instrumentation.  Because the new program provided under this rule will replace an existing program that pertained to the same participants, it is anticipated that the rule will not impose any burdens on the participants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Identification of Critical Safety Items</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to add a new contract clause that clearly identifies any items being purchased that are critical safety items so that the proper risk-based surveillance can be performed.  When DoD requiring activities initiate procurements involving critical safety items, the buying activities will include a clause in the solicitation and resulting contract that identifies specific items in the procurement that are critical safety items. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Pub. L. 108-136), section 802, entitled "Quality Control in Procurement of Aviation Critical Safety Items and Related Services," defined "aviation critical safety item" to mean a part, assembly, installation equipment, launch equipment, recovery equipment, or support equipment for an aircraft or aviation weapon system which, if it failed, could cause catastrophic damage, unacceptable risk of personal injury, or loss of life. Implementing regulations established processes for designated design control activities to identify aviation critical safety items. When design control activities identify such items to the contracting activity, they will contract only with sources approved by the design control activity for the procurement, modification, repair, or overhaul of critical safety items. Using the clause in this proposed rule will enable contract administration activities to identify and apply additional risk-based surveillance to comply with joint agency instructions such as Management of Aviation Critical Safety Items (dated January 25, 2006).

The rule does not impose new requirements on small entities. Its purpose is to alert Government quality-assurance activities to existing heightened surveillance requirements that are imposed by DoD requiring activities.  The process for identifying an item as a critical safety item occurs entirely outside the procurement process, as does the process of approving a source for production of a critical safety item. Therefore, any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Sexual Assault; DFARS Case 2010-D023</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) regarding Contractor Personnel Authorized to Accompany U.S. Armed Forces Deployed Outside the United States, to ensure contractor employees are aware of the DoD definition of "sexual assault" as defined in DoD Directive 6495.01, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program.  In addition to ensuring an awareness of the definition, the proposed change will inform contractors that, for contractor employees accompanying U.S. Armed Forces, such offenses are covered under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.  This proposed change will add a new item for compliance with laws and regulations at DFARS 252.225-7040(d)(3). DoD Inspector General audit D-2010-052, entitled "Efforts to Prevent Sexual Assault/Harassment Involving DoD Contractors During Contingency Operations," dated April 16, 2010, pro vided recommendations for the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to develop requirements in all DOD contracts supporting contingency operations to ensure contractor employees accompanying U.S. Armed Forces are aware of the definition of sexual assault. DFARS 252.225-7040(e)(2)(iv) already informs contractors that contractor personnel authorized to accompany U.S. Armed Forces in the field are subject to the jurisdiction of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.  This change clarifies that sexual assault is an offense covered under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Accordingly, any economic impact is anticipated to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Responsibility and Liability for Government Property (DFARS Case 2010-D018)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to extend the Government self-insurance policy for Government property provided under negotiated fixed-price contracts that are awarded on a basis other than submission of certified cost or pricing data. This rule proposes that DoD contractors not be held liable for loss of Government property under such contracts, and eliminates the use of Alternate I of the FAR clause at 52.245-1, Government Property.  Use of Alternate I requires contractors to assume the risk and be responsible for loss of Government property.  The basic premise of this case, that the Government should be self-insuring under contracts that provide Government property, is supported by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) policy contained in GAO publication, GAO-04-261SP Appropriations Law, and its decisions.  Any impact of this rule on small entities is expected to be beneficial.  The Government assuming the liability for loss of Government property under negotiated fixed-price contracts awarded on a basis other than submission of certified cost or pricing data should provide some relief for the small entities concerning costs to acquire insurance against risk of loss.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Government Support Contractor Access to Technical Data (DFARS Case 2009-D031)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 821 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. Section 821 provides authority for certain types of Government support contractors to have access to proprietary technical data belonging to prime contractors and other third parties, provided that the technical data owner may require the support contractor to execute a non-disclosure agreement having certain restrictions and remedies. 

Additionally, this rule amends the DFARS to provide needed editorial changes. The rule implements a new third statutory exception to the prohibition on release of privately developed data outside the Government, allowing a covered Government support contractor access to, and use of, any technical data delivered under a contract for the sole purpose of furnishing independent and impartial advice or technical assistance directly to the Government in support of the Government's management and oversight of the program or effort to which such technical data relates.  

The rule also provides a definition of "covered Government support contractor" as contractor under a contract, whose primary purpose is to furnish independent and impartial advice or technical assistance directly to the Government in support of the Government's management and oversight of a program or effort . A "covered Government support contractor" must meet certain criteria identified in the rule and provide certain assurances to the Government to protect the proprietary and nonpublic nature of the technical data furnished to the covered Government support contractor, to include signing a non-disclosure agreement.  

The rule affects small businesses that are Government support contractors that need access to proprietary technical data belonging to prime contractors and other third parties.  There are no known significant alternatives to the rule that would meet the requirements of the statute and minimize any significant economic impact of the rule on small entities. The impact of this rule on small business is not expected to be significant because the execution of a non-disclosure agreement is not likely to have a significant cost or administrative impact.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule  amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to require contractors to report independent research and development (IR&D) projects generating annual costs in excess of $50,000 to the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC).  Beginning in the 1990s, DoD reduced its technical exchanges with industry, in part to ensure independence of IR&D.  The result has been a loss of linkage between funding and technological purpose.  The reporting requirements, as mandated by 10 U.S.C. 2372, will provide in-process information from DoD-sponsored IR&D projects to increase effectiveness by providing visibility into the technical content of industry IR&D activities to meet DoD needs and promote the technical prowess of the industry.  Without the collection of this information, DoD will be unable to maximize the value of the IR&D funds disbursed without infringing on the independence of contractors to choose which technologies to pursue in IR&D programs.  Reporting the IR&D projects utilizing the DTIC on-line input form does not require contractors to expend significant effort or cost.  Furthermore, the threshold for reporting annual IR&D costs in excess of $50,000, as set forth in the rule, ensures that the IR&D project reporting requirements will not apply to a significant number of small entities.  Therefore, economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to make some administrative corrections relating to the DFARS clause 252.203-7003, Agency Office of the Inspector General. This rule adds the clause title to the clause prescription at DFARS 203.1004 It also provides the address of the DoD Office of the Inspector General to the list of contract terms and conditions required to implement statutes or Executive orders applicable to DoD acquisitions of commercial items (DFARS 252.212-7001).  This final rule does not constitute a significant FAR revision as defined at FAR 1.501-1 because this rule will not have a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors, or a significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of the Government.  Therefore, publication for public comment under 41 U.S.C. 1707 is not required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Display of DoD Inspector General Fraud Hotline Posters (DFARS Case 2010-D026)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to require contractors to display the DoD fraud hotline poster in common work areas within business segments performing work under the contract and at contract work sites.  This rule proposes to implement the recommendations of the DoD Inspector General (IG), by providing a DFARS clause to use instead of the FAR clause 52.203-14, Display of Hotline Poster(s).  The new DFARS clause provides no exception to the use of the DoD hotline poster for contractors that have implemented a business ethics and conduct awareness program, including a reporting mechanism such as a hotline poster, as does the FAR clause. The DFARS clause also provides for display of any applicable Department of Homeland Security hotline poster identified by the contracting officer.  The requirement to display posters has minimal economic impact and the rule only applies to contracts and subcontracts that exceed $5 million in value, so many small business concerns are not impacted at all.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternative Line-Item Structure (DFARS Case 2010-D017)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide an offeror the opportunity to propose an alternative contract line-item structure from what is described in the solicitation that reflects the offeror's business practices for selling and billing commercial items and initial provisioning of spares for weapon systems. An offeror's proposed alternative-line item structure must be consistent with DFARS 204.71, which provides explicit guidance on the use of contract line items and subline items. Establishing a process that provides offerors an opportunity to propose an alternative contract line item structure is a first step in the transformation towards manageable variation in the transactions across DoD. DoD identified the need to propose an alternative line-item structure during process reviews and working group sessions which were chartered by the Defense Finance and Accounting System, for the purposes of examining  issues causing problems in the receipt and acceptance phase for contract deliverables and payments.. The line-item structure in a solicitation is not always sufficient for delivery, payment, and subsequent inventory management of the items delivered.  For example, the contract line item may be for a desktop computer, but the actual items delivered, invoiced, and inventoried may reflect a separate monitor, keyboard, and central processing unit.  The resultant misalignment of transaction detail (i.e., contract line item, invoiced unit, delivery and inventory unit) is the cause of failures in the electronic processes of the DoD's business enterprise requiring manual intervention with potential delays in contractor payment.  This rule is designed to address this recurring problem by allowing offerors to propose changes in their offer to the solicitation's line-item structure. DoD expects that formalizing the ability to propose an alternative line-item structure in a standard DFARS provision for commercial items and initial provisioning spares for weapon systems will prevent future contract administration and payment problems.  Because this change will not add to, or delete from existing requirements or authorities for entities to include alternative line-item structures in their offers, economic impact is anticipated to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Passive Radio Frequency Identification (DFARS Case 2010-D014)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to update requirements relating to the use of passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). This DFARS case was initiated at the request of the Office of Logistics and Material Readiness (L&MR) of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) to revise DFARS 211.275, Radio frequency identification, to

1.	Clarify that RFID requirements apply only to passive RFID which is defined in the associated clause at 252.211-7005; 

2.	Supply a link to a web site in lieu of individually listing ship-to addresses; 

3.	Enable contracting officers to add tagging requirements to contracts shipping to DoD Activity Address Codes (DoDAACs) not specifically listed at the web site; 

4.	Make pharmaceuticals subject to the Class VIII RFID tagging requirements; and 

5.	Revise the clause at 252.211-7006, including the title, to reflect the changes above. 

As the use of passive RFID technology continues to expand and additional DoD sites gain the capability to use RFID identifier tags, the DFARS regulations associated with passive RFID are being proposed for complementary updates. Because the rule does not add to or delete the existing regulations on RFID use, economic impact is expected to be minimal. The only alternative to the proposed rule is to leave the current DoD RFID requirements intact. However, that alternative would not minimize the economic impact on small entities, as does the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Multiple-Award Contract (DFARS Case 2011-D016)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) by revising the definition of multiple-award contract at DFARS 207.107-2. The revisions are being made to correct the current definition by:

1. Deleting "Orders place using" to reflect that the multiple-award contract is the basic schedule, not the individual orders placed under it;

2. Adding "or Department of Veterans Affairs" to correctly reflect the agencies that have statutory authority to issue schedule contracts; and

3. Adds hyphens where appropriate for unit modifiers. 

The revised DFARS language is correcting previous imprecision in implementing the statute. No policy or substantive changes are being made. Therefore, in accordance with FAR 1.501 and 41 U.S.C. 1707, publication for public comments is not necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Assignment of Order Code (DFARS Case 2011-D004)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to specify Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, Program Development and Implementation, as the office responsible for maintaining order code assignments. DPAP policy letter dated September 21, 2010, replaced the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) with Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, Program Development and Implementation, as the responsible office for the maintenance of all order code assignments for use in the first two positions of an order number when an activity places an order against another activity's contract or agreement.  As a result of revising this subpart, the DLA order code monitor office needs to be updated, and an administrative correction made for the address of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Procurement). As a result of these changes, DFARS 204.7005, Assignment of order codes, is being revised. This rule does not constitute a significant FAR revision within the meaning of 41 U.S.C. 1701 and FAR 1.501 and does not require publication for public comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Increase the Use of Fixed-Price Incentive (Firm Target) Contracts (DFARS Case 2011-D010) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to increase the use of fixed-price incentive (firm target) contracts, with particular attention to share lines and ceiling prices. This DFARS case was initiated to incentivize productivity and innovation in industry, as set forth in a memorandum from the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, dated November 3, 2010. The memorandum provided guidance to the secretaries of the military departments and directors of defense agencies on obtaining greater efficiency and productivity in defense spending. In support of this initiative, DoD is proposing to amend DFARS subpart 216.4 to require that contracting officers must:

1. Give particular consideration to the use of fixed-price incentive (firm target) contracts, especially for acquisitions moving from development to production; and 

2. Pay particular attention to share line and ceiling prices for fixed-price incentive (firm target) contracts, with 120 percent ceiling and a 50/50 share ratio as the default arrangement. 

This rule does not impose economic burdens on contractors. The purpose and effect of this rule is to establish an approval threshold for contract type and to encourage the use of a particular contract type in order to incentivize productivity and innovation in industry. Small entities are more likely to receive awards for commercial products, including commercially available off-the-shelf products, for which firm-fixed-price contracts are appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to correct several inconsistencies resulting from recent changes relating to source of ball and roller bearing components, participation of foreign contractors in acquisitions in support of operations in Afghanistan and eligibility of Peruvian end products under trade agreements,  This final rule will also make a conforming change to the clause date for 252.225-7016, Restriction on the Acquisition of Ball and Roller Bearings, in the clause at 252.212-7001, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders Applicable to Defense Acquisitions of Commercial Items.

Therefore, publication for public comment under 41 U.S.C. 1701 and FAR 1.501 is not required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nonavailability Exception for Procurement of Hand or Measuring Tools (DFARS Case 2011-D025)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Pub. L. 111-383). Section 847 provides a nonavailability exception to the requirement at 10 U.S.C. 2533a (Berry Amendment) to acquire only domestic hand or measuring tools. This rule amends Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 225.7002-2 to implement section 847. The nonavailability exception was previously limited to the items covered in 10 U.S.C. 2533(b)(1).  The rule allows purchase of hand or measuring tools from foreign sources only when such tools are not available from domestic sources.  If no domestic sources produce the tools, then allowing purchase from a foreign source will not impact any U.S. small business.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Ordering Procedures (DFARS Case 2009-D037)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule addresses electronic business procedures for placing orders. This rule adds a new clause in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to clarify this process and standardize issuance of orders via electronic means  DoD currently has the capability to distribute orders electronically on a routine basis, and can post to a website that any contractor can access.  In order to make this possible, the DFARS needs to provide language that will make those procedures a routine part of contract issuance.  This will enable DoD to further the goals of the E-Government Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-347).  The benefit of this rule to small business is that it will make electronic distribution procedures a routine part of order issuance.  This change will ultimately help improve the management and promotion of electronic Government services and processes, and will establish a framework to improve public access to Government information, and services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minimizing the Use of Materials Containing Hexavalent Chromium (DFARS Case 2009-D004)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to address requirements for minimizing the use of hexavalent chromium in items purchased by DoD.  The rule prohibits the delivery of items containing hexavalent chromium under DoD contracts unless an exception applies or has been authorized by the Government.  On April 8, 2009, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) issued a memorandum establishing policy for the minimization of hexavalent chromium use throughout DoD. The rule allows for the codification of the policy outlined in the April 8, 2009, memorandum for the acquisition community to effectively implement the guidance in contract requirements.  This rule adds a new DFARS subpart and a corresponding contract clause to address requirements for minimizing the use of hexavlent chromium in items purchased by DoD.  The rule enables DoD to comply with the requirements established in Executive Orders 13514 and 13423 to reduce the use of toxic and hazardous substances.  Further, the rule is timely and necessary to provide industry guidance and policy to adopt substitutes for hexavalent chromium.  Non-hexavalent chromium processes should be less costly due to the use of less hazardous materials and related control and disposal cost.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (DFARS Case 2009-D002)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to address requirements for DoD contractors to use the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) for submission of small business subcontracting reports to the Government.  This rule amended DFARS subparts 219.708 and 252.219 to provide DoD-specific procedures and policies related to its implementation of eSRS.  The FAR has already been revised to reflect use of eSRS, rather than Standard Form 294 (Subcontract Report for Individual Contracts)and Standard Form 295 (Summary Subcontract Report) for submission of small business subcontract reports.  This interim rule provided to DoD contractors the DoD-specific policies and procedures that they must follow in order to be able to submit subcontract reports using eSRS, as required by the FAR, Small businesses are not required to have subcontracting plans, and therefore, are not required to use eSRS to submit reports on their progress in achieving the goals in those plans.  Therefore, minimal economic impact is expected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Evaluated Priced Options on Existing Federal Prison Industries Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide clarification to contracting officers and other acquisition officials regarding application of section 827 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 to exercise of evaluated priced options in existing Federal Prison Industries (FPI) contracts or other existing prime contracts for a product for which FPI is a mandatory source.

On November 19, 2009, a final rule was published at 74 FR 59914, which amended the DFARS to implement section 827 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2008. Section 827 changed competition requirements for purchases from FPI. The statute requires DoD to use competitive procedures when procuring products for which FPI has a significant market share.

However, if an existing FPI contract, or an existing prime contract for a product for which FPI is a mandatory source, includes an option clause and a priced option (or options) that was evaluated and awarded prior to the publication of the current list of Federal Supply Classification (FSC) items to be competed, the contracting officer may determine whether

 Competing the product will have no adverse impact on meeting mission requirements; or, conversely,
 There is not a reasonable amount of time to solicit the product for competition. 

If the evaluated priced option is exercised based on the latter determination, the contracting officer is not allowed to award a subsequent evaluated option to FPI without competition, if the item remains on the list. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors because the procedures for purchasing from Federal Prison Industries already exist within the FAR.  However, DoD will invite comments from small business concerns and other interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Notification of Subcontractor Compliance (DFARS Case 2011-D007)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule removes the requirement for a contractor to provide notification at the request of the administrative contracting officer of any substitutions of firms that are not small business firms for the small business firms specifically identified in the subcontracting plan because it duplicates information provided to the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System. DoD contractors are required to submit information on subcontracting plan compliance bi-annually via the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-9 and DFARS clause 252.219-7003(h).  As such, the compliance notification requirement at DFARS 219-704(2) and DFARS clause 252.219-7003(g) is a duplication of effort on the part of the contractor.  This rule therefore proposes deletion of the language at DFARS 219.704(2) and DFARS 252.219-7003(g) in its entirety.  No significant economic impact is anticipated because the reporting requirement (1) is not a significant burden, and (2) only applies to prime contractors with contracts that exceed $650,000 ($1.5 million for construction).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Only One Offer (DFARS Case 2011-D013)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to address acquisitions in which only one offer is received. If less than 30 days was allowed for receipt of proposals, the contracting officer must re-solicit for an additional 30 days. If the solicitation allowed at least 30 days for receipt of proposals, then the contracting officer must conduct negotiations. Both of these requirements can be waived by the head of the contracting activity, without power of re-delegation. This rule was initiated to implement the initiative on promoting real competition that was presented by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics in a memorandum dated November 3, 2010.  In support of this initiative, DoD is proposing to amend DFARS subparts 215.3 and 215.4.  The rule affects only those small entities that respond to a Federal competitive solicitation and no other offer is received.  Any impact of this rule on small business is expected to be predominantly positive, by allowing more opportunity for competition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Award Fee Contracts (DFARS Case 2006-D021)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to address the appropriate use of award and incentive fees in DoD acquisitions, by revising the guidance for award-fee evaluations and payments, eliminating the use of provisional award-fee payments, and incorporating DoD policy guidance on the use of objective criteria.  A new clause entitled Award Fee sets forth the use of award fees in DoD contracts.  Most contracts awarded to small entities use simplified acquisition procedures or are awarded on a competitive fixed-price basis and do not utilize award-fee type incentives.  Therefore, DoD expects that the economic impact will be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reporting of Government Property Losses (DFARS Case 2008-D049)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule was to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to address requirements for DoD contractors to report any loss, theft, damage, or destruction of Government property using the Defense Contract Management Agency eTools application.  The rule would have provided a clause at DFARS 252.245-7002,  Reporting Loss of Government property, that requires DoD contractors to report the loss, theft, damage, and destruction of Government property to the DCMA eTools application.  The rule would also have eliminated unnecessarily duplicative language in clause 252.245-7002, Reporting Loss of Government Property, and made other editorial changes.  The rule was expected to have a positive or beneficial impact on small entities by making available a Government-provided software application to use for reporting purposes.  any start-up costs were expected to be minimal.
 
This rule is now identified by the Regulatory Identification Number (RIN) 0750-AG64 and has been withdrawn under this RIN.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule provided a new DFARS clause at 252.245-7001, Tagging, Labeling, and Marking of Government-Furnished Property, to implement and facilitate the requirements.  The rule also provided a list of eight exceptions to the policy, including when the items are intellectual property or software; or have been previously tagged, labeled, or marked.  The rule applies only to DoD contractors provided with Government-furnished property that is subject to serializing item management.  Any start-up costs that contractors will incur to comply with the rule are expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to Amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to address requirements for the preservation and storage of unique tooling associated with the production of hardware for major defense acquisitions through the end of the service life of the end item associated with such an acquisition.  The rule implements section 815 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009.  The rule requires that the milestone decision authority approve and periodically review a plan for the preservation and storage of such tooling.  The rule also provides a mechanism for the Secretary of Defense to waive the requirements and certain circumstances.  Because the rule addresses internal DoD procedural matters only, DoD expects minimal if any economic impact.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cost and Software Data Reporting (DFARS Case 2008-D027)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to address requirements for DoD contractors to establish and maintain a cost and software data reporting process under contracts for major defense acquisitions as defined in 10 U.S.C. 2430 and major automated information systems as defined in 10 U.S.C. 2445a, i.e., major weapon systems procurements.  During the proposal submission process, offerors are required to describe the process to be used to comply with the requirements, submit certain cost information with their pricing proposals, and use a Government-approved plan as the basis for reporting.  Because the rule only applies to DoD contractors with contracts for major weapons systems procurements, and most small businesses do not participate in such procurements, the economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 828 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008.  Section 828 contains limitations on DoD award of multiyear contracts for the purchase of electricity.  The rule amended DFARS parts 217 and 241 to authorize DoD to enter into a contract for a period not to exceed 10 years for the purchase of electricity from sources of renewable energy, as that term is defined in section 203(b)(2) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C. 15852(b)(2)).  Economic impact is not anticipated to be significant because there are a very limited number of small businesses engaged in the sale of energy-related services, to include the sale of renewable energy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Continuation of Essential Contractor Services (DFARS Case 2009-D017)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to address requirements for the continuation of essential contractor services during emergency situations.  The rule added policy and a contract clause requiring that contractors providing essential contractor services, as determined by the requiring activity, shall be prepared to continue such services during periods of crisis.  This rule is necessary to ensure that essential contractor services are not interrupted.  The current changing threat environment, particularly under the additional challenges caused by such potential crises as destructive weather, earthquakes, or pandemic disease, has increased the need for continuity of operations capabilities and plans that enable agencies to continue their essential functions during a broad range of emergencies and crises.  Because the rule allows for an equitable adjustment for additional costs that are incurred during a crisis situation, minimal economic impact is anticipated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Payments in Support of Emergencies and Contingencies (DFARS Case 2009-D020)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implemented exemptions from the prompt Payment Act for military payments related to contingencies and certain payments related to emergencies and the release or threatened release of hazarous substances.  DoD requires the flexibility provided by this rule because of the potential for unstable environments during emergencies and contingency operations.  During emergencies and contingency operations, the operational area can be so fluid and dynamic that carrying out normal business practices can be extremely challenging.  It is necessary for the Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) to have the authority to appropriately respond to emergency and contingency operations whenever limited operational conditions exist.  This includes the payment of contractors.  This rule is expected to have a minimal economic impact on a relatively small number of small business entities.  It is anticipated that the rule could initially be applied to contracts supporting Afghanistan.  As of today, normal business operations are hindered in Afghanistan due to the uncertain environment and instability in the region.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Restriction on Ball and Roller Bearings (DFARS Case 2006-D029)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Revised the domestic source restriction on acquisition of ball and roller bearings.  The current Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) restriction on ball and roller bearings requires that the bearings and the main bearing components be wholly manufactured in the United States or Canada.  This requirement was based on a restriction that expired on October 1, 2005.  The final rule, which implemented the DoD annual appropriations act domestic source restrictions, required that each ball or roller bearing be manufactured in the United States, its oulying areas, or Canada, and that the cost of the bearing components manufactured in the United States, its outlying areas, or Canada, shall exceed 50 percent of the total cost of the bearing components of the ball or roller bearing.  This restriction does not apply to the acquisition of commercial items, either as components or end products, unless the commercial bearings themselves are purchased as the end products.  Generally, the economic impact is considered to be positive because the rule allows more flexibility to domestic bearings manufacturers in the acquisition of nondomestic components.  Many of the bearing components that are being outsourced are no longer readily available from domestic sources.  If this rule were not implemented, there would be no requirement to manufacture such bearings in the United States or Canada, or provide predominantly domestic components.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Trade Agreements Thresholds (DFARS Case 2009-D040)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implemented new trade agreements thresholds, which took effect on January 1, 2010. The United States Trade representative recalculates the thresholds every 2 years and publishes the thresholds in the Federal Register. The rule amended the clause prescriptions at DFARS 225.1101 and 225.7503 to reflect increased thresholds for application of the trade agreements.  The purpose and effect of this rule is to adjust the dollar threshold changes to keep pace with inflation and thus maintain the status quo.  Because this rule does not impose additional economic burdens on DoD contractors, the economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Organizational Conflicts of Interest in Major Defense Acquisition Programs (DFARS Case 2009-D015) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implemented Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) section 207 of the Weapons System Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 (WSARA) (Pub. L. 111-23). Section 207 requires DoD to revise the DFARS to provide uniform guidance and tighten existing requirements for organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs) by contractors in major defense  acquisitions. The implementing rule addressed situations required by the statute and provided for such limited exceptions as are necessary to ensure that DoD has continued access to advice on systems architecture and systems engineering matters from highly qualified contractors, while also ensuring that such advice comes from sources that are objective and unbiased..  As directed by the statute, DoD considered the recommendation presented by the Panel on Contracting Integrity and further considered any findings and recommendations of the Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) and the Director of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), pursuant to section 841(b) of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 (Pub. L. 110-417). A FAR proposed rule on OCIs has not yet been published, Accordingly, DoD has limited this rule to implementation of OCIs in major DoD acquisitions.   Because the requirements implemented in this rule do not differ substantially from the burden currently imposed on offerors and contractors by the FAR, the economic impact of this rule is minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to address requirements for DoD contractors to report any loss, theft, damage, or destruction of Government property using the Defense Contract Management Agency eTools application. The rule provided a clause at DFARS 252.245-7002, Reporting Loss of Government Property, that requires DoD contractors to report the loss, theft, damage, and destruction of Government property to the DCMA eTools application. The rule also eliminated unnecessarily duplicative language in clause 252.245-7002, Reporting Loss of Government Property, and made other editorial changes  The rule is expected to have a positive or beneficial impact on small entities by making available a Government-provided software application to use for reporting purposes.  Any start-up costs are expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implemented section 806 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. 111-84) authorizing the placing of contracts for property and services in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold by certain non-DoD agencies for the performance of a joint program conducted to meet the needs of DoD and the non-DoD agency. Treatment of Non-Defense Agency Procurements Under Joint Programs with Intelligence Community, authorizes procurements that are entered into by a non-DoD agency that is an element of the intelligence community when the procurement is for the performance of a joint program conducted to meet the needs of DoD and the non-DoD agency. The rule resulted in changes to internal Government operating procedures.  Therefore, any economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Publication of Notification of Bundling of Contracts of the Department of Defense (DFARS Case 2009-D033)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implemented section 820 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 requiring DoD contracting officers to publish a notification on FedBizOpps.gov, or any successor site, at least 30 days prior to the release of a solicitation for a bundled acquisition. If the DoD agency has determined that "measurably substantial benefits are expected to be derived as a result of bundling," the notification must include a brief description of those benefits. The rule added a requirement at DFARS 205.205-70 to publish a notification of the intention to bundle a DoD procurement at least 30 days prior to (1) the release of a solicitation or (2) placing an order without a solicitation. The objective of the rule is to enable small businesses to compete for more work of which the firms might otherwise have been unaware. The notification requirement will provide a much broader segment of the small-business community awareness of upcoming business opportunities. The economic impact is expected to be positive.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Restrictions on the Use of Mandatory Arbitration Agreements (DFARS Case 2010-D004)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule implemented section 8116 of the DoD Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. 111-118) prohibiting the use of Fiscal Year 2010 funds for any contract in excess of $1 million (including task or delivery orders and bilateral modifications adding new work), if the contractor restricts its employees to arbitration for claims arising under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or arising out of sexual assault or harassment, including battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, or false imprisonment. After June 17, 2010, section 8116(b) required the contractor to certify compliance by subcontractors. Further, it allowed the Secretary of Defense to waive applicability to a particular contractor or subcontractor, if determined necessary to avoid harm to national security. This rule does not apply to the acquisition of commercial items, including commercially available off-the-shelf items  Most contractors should not be impacted unless they have a covered claim.  A significant number of small businesses provide only commercial items to the Government, and this rule does not apply to that portion of the business community. DoD anticipates that there will be limited, if any, additional costs imposed on small businesses unless there is a covered claim filed against a particular contractor.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposed to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 346 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999, as amended by section 336 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000. These provisions prohibit the award of prime vendor contracts for depot-level maintenance and repair of a weapon system or other military equipment, described in 10 U.S.C. 2464(a)(3), prior to the submission to Congress by the Secretary of Defense or a Military Department of a report, specific to the proposed contract, and the conclusion of a 30-day period after that submission.

This rule has been withdrawn without further action because section 322 of the FY 2011 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 111-383) repealed the underlying statutory requirement, eliminating the need for the regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety of Facilities, Infrastructure, and Equipment for Military Operations (DFARS Case 2009-D029)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implemented section 807 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2010 requires that facilities, infrastructure, and equipment intended for use by DoD military or civilian personnel in current or future military operations should be inspected for safety and habitability prior to use. It also required that such facilities should be brought into compliance with generally accepted standards for the safety and health of personnel to the maximum extent practicable consistent with the requirements of military operations and the best interests of DoD to minimize the safety and health risk posed to such personnel. The rule encouraged contracting officers to include this rule in solicitations issued before the date of publication, provided award occurs after the publication date. Contracting Officers are also encouraged to apply this rule to the maximum extent practicable to existing contracts. The rule affected contractors with contracts, including task and delivery orders, in support of current and future military operations for construction, installation, repair, maintenance, or operation of facilities. This includes contracts for facilities, infrastructure, and equipment configured for occupancy, including but not limited to, existing host nation facilities, new construction, and re-locatable buildings.  There are high costs associated with a company being able to perform in the geographic regions where most military operations are currently taking place. This makes it unlikely that a small business could afford to sustain the infrastructure required to perform these types of services in locations such as Iraq and Afghanistan.  Based on the above factors, the number of small business firms to which the rule would apply is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Contract Authority for Advanced Component Development or Prototype Units (DFARS Case 2009-D034)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to implement section 819 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 and placed limitations on certain types of line items and contract options that may be included in contracts initially awarded competitively.  The intent was to prevent a contract for new technology that is initially awarded as a result of competition, from becoming a noncompetitive effort for the development of advance components or the procurement of prototype units. The DFARS implementation placed specific limits, in accordance with the statute, on the dollar value, period of performance, and time for exercise of contract line items or contract options for such contracts.  Because the changes are to internal Government operating procedures, minimal, if any, economic impact is anticipated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Foreign Participation in Acquisitions in Support of Operations in Afghanistan (DFARS Case 2009-D012)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement DoD waivers of the Trade Agreements Act and the Balance of Payments Program to allow acquisition of products or services from the South Caucasus and Central and South Asian States in support of operations in Afghanistan. The final rule also included a technical amendment to the DFARS provision and clause at 252.225-7035 and 252.225-7036, in order to conform to the trade threshold for the Peruvian Free Trade Agreement that is at FAR 25.402(b) and to be consistent with the corresponding FAR provision and clause at 52.225-3 and 52.225-4.  Minimal economic impact is anticipated because the rule only impacts acquisitions that are in support of operations in Afghanistan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Continuation of Current Contracts--Deletion of Redundant Text (DFARS Case 2010-D016)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to delete redundant text relating to the continuation of current contracts with a contractor that has been suspended, debarred, or proposed for debarment. DFARS 209.405-1 limits placement of orders against contracts with contractors that have been debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment. On December 11, 2003, the final rule published under FAR Case 2002-010 (68 FR 69250) incorporated these restrictions into the FAR.  The DFARS text, therefore, became redundant and was deleted by this final rule.  This final rule did not constitute a significant DFARS revision and publication for public comment was not required, pursuant to FAR 1.501 and 41 U.S.C. 1707.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>DoD Office of the Inspector General Address (DFARS Case 2010-D015)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide the address for the agency Office of the Inspector General as referenced in FAR clause 52.203-13, Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Case 2007-006, "Contractor Business Ethics Compliance Program and Disclosure Requirements," was published as a final rule in the Federal Register on November 12, 2008, with an effective date of December 12, 2008.  The contract clause entitled "Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct" requires the contractor to disclose to the agency office of the Inspector General (with a copy to the contracting officer), when the contractor has credible evidence that a principal, employee, agent, or subcontractor of the contractor has committed a violation of criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, or gratuity violations found in title 18 U.S.C. or a violation of the civil False Claims Act.  This final rule provided the address for the DoD Office of the Inspector General.  This final rule did not constitute a significant DFARS revision within the meaning of 41 U.S.C. 1701 and FAR 1.501, and publication for public comment was not required.  No economic impact is expected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement DoD policy on the services of senior mentors. These policies are set forth in two memoranda: Secretary of Defense Memorandum entitled "Policy on Senior Mentors," dated April 1, 2010; and Deputy Secretary of Defense Memorandum entitled "Implementation Guidance on Senior Mentor Policy," dated July 8, 2010. The policy changes have already been established by the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense in their policy memoranda. The DFARS language incorporated by this rule implemented in DFARS the policy established in the memoranda, Because the rule impacted internal DoD operations with no impact on the public, publication for public comment was not necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Repeal of the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration (DFARS Case 2011-D001)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amended the Defense Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 1335 of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. This final rule deleted subpart DFARS 219.10 to meet the requirements of section 1335 of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-240). Section 1335 amended the Business Opportunity Development Reform Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100-656) by striking title VII (15 U.S.C. 644 note), making the DFARS text obsolete. The repeal of the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program became effective immediately upon  enactment. It applies to the first full fiscal year after the September 27, 2010 date of enactment (Fiscal Year 2011). This rule did not constitute a significant DFARS revision as defined at FAR 1.501 because it will not have a significant cost or administrative burden on contractors, or a significant effect outside of DoD.  Therefore, publication for public comment under 41 U.S.C. 1701 was not required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Repeal of Restriction on Ballistic Missile Defense Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (DFARS Case 2011-D026)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Pub. L. 111-383). Section 847 provides a nonavailability exception to the requirement at 10 U.S.C. 2533a (Berry Amendment) to acquire only domestic hand or measuring tools. This rule amends Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 225.7002-2 to implement section 847. The nonavailability exception was previously limited to the items covered in 10 U.S.C. 2533(b)(1).  The rule allows purchase of hand or measuring tools from foreign sources only when such tools are not available from domestic sources.  If no domestic sources produce the tools, then allowing purchase from a foreign source will not impact any U.S. small business.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reduction of Use of Social Security Numbers (SSN) in the Department of Defense (DoD)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Social Security Number (SSN) has been used as a means to efficiently identify and authenticate individuals. Expanded use of the SSN has increased efficiency, enabling DoD information systems and processes to interoperate and transfer information with a greatly reduced chance of errors. However, the threat of identity theft has rendered this wide-spread use unacceptable, resulting in the requirement that all Federal agencies evaluate how the SSN is used and eliminate its unnecessary use. This part identifies the acceptable uses of the SSN, describes how authorized uses shall be documented, presents alternatives to using the SSN, and explains the role Privacy Act training plays in protecting privacy information within DoD. Any uses of the SSN not provided for in this guidance are considered to be unnecessary and shall be eliminated. Use of the SSN includes the SSN in any form, including, but not limited to, truncated (last four digits), masked, partially masked, encrypted, or disguised SSNs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Program Management for the Preparation and Execution of Acquisitions for Contingency Operations (DoDI 3020.41)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with Public Law 110-181 and Public Law 110-417, DoD is revising policy and assigning responsibilities for program management of operational contract support (OCS) in contingency operations and integration of DoD contractor personnel into military contingency operations outside the United States.  An interim final rule is required to procedurally close gaps and ensure the correct planning, oversight and management of DoD contractors supporting contingency operations, by updating the existing outdated policy.  The existing policies are causing significant confusion, as they do not reflect current practices and legislative mandates. The apparent mismatch between local Geographic Command guidance and the DoD-wide policies and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement is confusing for those in the field--in particular policy with regard to accountability and visibility requirements.  Since the Presidential decision to expand the number of troops in Afghanistan and the subsequent increase of troops and contractors in theater, this issue has become so significant that DoD needs to revise the DoD-wide policies as a matter to urgency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revitalizing Base Closure Communities and Addressing Impacts of Realignment; Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Economic Development Conveyances were created in amendments to the Base Closure and Realignment law in 1993, creating a new tool for communities experiencing economic dislocation from the closing of a major employer in the community. Congress recognized that the existing authority under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (as amended and otherwise known as the Real Property Act) was not structured to deal with the unique challenges of assisting community economic recovery and job creation of such large installations, many with decaying or obsolete infrastructure and other redevelopment challenges. Section 2715 of Public Law 111-84 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 provides 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 language also provides that the Department's determination of the consideration may account for the economic conditions of the local affected community and the estimated costs to redevelop the property.

This rule provides guidance to implement recent changes to the law and makes other improvements that encourage expedited property transfers for job creation that allow for the Department to obtain a share of the revenues obtained.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <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>

        <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 (70 FR 39364). As provided in the rule, DOE has reviewed the current SSPs and made minor revisions to update some provisions regarding, procedures, delivery points and dates, payment methods, and increasing the ceiling amount for disputes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Monthly Data Collection Requirements for Electricity Exports and Presidential Permits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the electricity export and import data collection requirements in DOE's administrative regulations that pertain to the issuance of Presidential permits authorizing electric transmission facilities at the U.S. international border and orders authorizing electricity exports to a foreign country.  The responsibility for the data collection has been transferred from DOE's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) to DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA).  The frequency of the reporting in the regulations is being changed from annual to monthly in order to be consistent with the data collection procedures now required by EIA's Form OE-781R, "Monthly Electricity Imports and Exports Report."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Procedures for the Import And Export of Natural Gas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 29, 1989, DOE published in the Federal Register a final rule regarding the administrative procedures governing the import and export of natural gas.  The purpose of this final rule was to establish the rules and procedures required to be followed by persons to obtain authorizations from DOE to import or export natural gas under the Natural Gas Act, and by all other persons interested in participating in a natural gas import or export proceeding before the agency. Since the publishing of this final rule, the domestic and international natural gas markets have evolved in structure and complexity.  The current business models and types of commercial transactions utilized by stakeholders in the natural gas industry require greater flexibility on the part of DOE when evaluating import and export applications for issuance of an authorization than is provided for by the current regulations, which were  developed 21 years ago and have not been revised since their issuance.  Additionally, amendments to the Natural Gas Act, which were passed subsequent to the December, 1989 publishing of the current regulations, have had a significant  effect on the processes and procedures for the issuance of authorizations, and have not yet been incorporated into the current regulations.  This rulemaking project will consolidate existing DOE policies and procedures on the import and export of natural gas by incorporating them into the regulations; it will allow DOE to address increasingly complex natural gas market issues through increased regulatory flexibility; and it will streamline the regulations by eliminating those regulations which are no longer applicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Radiation Protection of the Public and the Environment</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Standards Determination for Distribution Transformers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current transformer efficiency standards will be applicable starting January 1, 2010. As a result of a settlement agreement, DOE has agreed to conduct a review of the standards for liquid-immersed and medium-voltage dry-type distribution transformers and publish in the Federal Register, no later than October 1, 2011, either a determination pursuant to EPCA that standards for these products do not need to be amended or a notice of proposed rulemaking including any new proposed standards for these products. DOE agrees that if a positive determination is made, DOE shall publish in the Federal Register, no later than October 1, 2012, a final rule including any amendments to the standards for liquid-immersed and medium-voltage dry-type distribution transformers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Standards for Microwave Ovens (Standby and Off Mode)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE published a NPRM for microwave ovens on October 17, 2008 (73 FR 62034), and a final rule on April 8, 2009 (74 FR 16040). 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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certification, Compliance, and Enforcement for Consumer Products and Commercial and Industrial Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE is conducting a rulemaking to review, revise, and expand its existing certification, compliance, and enforcement regulations for certain consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment covered under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Standards for Certain Commercial and Industrial 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[This rulemaking implements provisions of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 that require DOE to establish revised performance standards for the construction of all new Federal buildings, including commercial, multi-family high-rise residential and low rise residential buildings.  This rulemaking specifically addresses the reduction of fossil fuel-generated energy consumption in new buildings and buildings undergoing major renovations, as well as how agencies may petition DOE for a downward adjustments of the requirements if they believe meeting required energy reduction levels would be technically impracticable.]]></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 amendments for electric motors were originally bundled with the test procedure for small electric motors in a NPRM published on December 22, 2008 (73 FR 78220). To ensure that a consent decree deadline was met, DOE decided to publish a final test procedure for small electric motors on July 7, 2009 (74 FR 32059). As part of that notice, DOE indicated that it had left open certain technical issues raised in response to the NPRM to be addressed in a supplemental NPRM to be issued later.  DOE issued this supplemental NPRM, covering test procedures for both small electric motors and electric motors, on January 5, 2011 (76 FR 648).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential Furnace, Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 initiated this rulemaking to consider amended energy conservation standards for residential furnaces. In this rulemaking DOE is also reviewing and updating energy efficiency standards, as required by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, to reflect technological advances.  All amended standards must be technologically feasible and economically justified.  This is the second review of the statutory standards for residential central air conditioners and air conditioning heat pumps.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protective Force Personnel Medical, Training, and Access Authorization Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These amendments ensure that DOE Protective Force (PF) medical and fitness requirements are consistent with the Privacy Act (5 USC 52(a)) 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>

        <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; Botulism Injury Table Amendment </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule establishes the Botulism 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 sustain 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 botulism countermeasures, and the time periods in which the onset of these injuries must occur after the administration or use of these covered botulism countermeasures.]]></ABSTRACT>

L. 111-152), orphan drugs, when used for the rare condition or disease for which that orphan drug was designated under section 526 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), are excluded from the definition of covered outpatient drug for the specified newly-eligible covered entity types for purposes of the 340B Program.  This regulatory action details how these exclusions will be implemented under the 340B Program.  The purpose of issuing this proposed rule is to clarify HHS's stated effort in:  (1) Providing clarity in the marketplace, (2) maintaining the 340B savings and interests to the newly-eligible covered entities; and (3) protecting the financial incentives for manufacturing orphan drugs designated for a rare disease or condition as indicated in the Affordable Care Act as intended by Congress.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of Medically Underserved Populations and Health Professional Shortage Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is mandated under the Affordable Care Act.  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 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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Health Center Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) Medical Malpractice Program Regulations--Clarification of FTCA Coverage for Services Provided to Non-Health Center Patients</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

        <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>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 RxUSA Wholesale, Inc., v. HHS, 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>General Requirements for Blood, Blood Components, and Blood Derivatives; Donor Notification </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is undertaking a review of 21 CFR sections 606.100(b), 606.160(b) and 630.6 (as amended in 66 FR 31165) under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.  The purpose of this review is to determine whether the regulations in 21 CFR sections 606.100(b), 606.160(b) and 630.6 (as amended in 66 FR 31165) should be continued without change, or whether they should be amended or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of applicable statutes, to minimize adverse impacts on a substantial number of small entities.  FDA will consider, and is soliciting comments on, the following: (1) The continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule from the public; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible, with State and local governmental rules; and (5) the length of time since the rule has been evaluated or the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. The first action addresses products labeled to relieve upset stomach associated with overindulgence in food and drink and to relieve symptoms associated with a hangover.  The second action addresses 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Import Tolerances for Residues of Unapproved New Animal Drugs in Food</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Laser Products; Amendment to Performance Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is proposing to amend the performance standard for laser products to achieve closer harmonization between the current standard and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard for laser products and medical laser products.  The proposed amendment is intended to update FDA's performance standard to reflect advancements in technology.  The proposal would adopt portions of an IEC standard to achieve 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>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--Second Phase</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>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.  Incorporating 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Produce Safety Regulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety Modernization Act requires the Secretary to establish and publish science-based minimum standards for the safe production and harvesting of those types of fruits and vegetables, including specific mixes or categories of fruits and vegetables, that are raw agricultural commodities for which the Secretary has determined that such standards minimize the risk of serious adverse health consequences or death.  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 to assist industry in complying with the requirements of the new regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Safety Modernization Act (the FSMA) requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promulgate regulations to establish science-based minimum standards for conducting a hazard analysis, documenting hazards, implementing preventive controls, and documenting the implementation of the preventive controls; and to define the terms 'small business' and 'very small business.' The FSMA also requires the Secretary to promulgate regulations with respect to activities that constitute on-farm packing or holding of food that is not grown, raised, or consumed on a farm or another farm under the same ownership and activities that constitute on farm manufacturing or processing of food that is not grown, raised, or consumed on a farm or another farm under the same ownership.

FDA is proposing to amend its current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations (21 CFR Part 110) for manufacturing, packing, or holding human food to require food facilities to develop and implement a written food safety plan.  This proposed rule would require a food facility to have and implement preventive controls to significantly minimize or prevent the occurrence of hazards that could affect food manufactured, processed, packed, or held by the facility and to provide assurances that such food will not be adulterated under section 402 or misbranded under section 403(w).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 524 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 360n), "Priority Review to Encourage Treatments for Tropical Diseases," provides authority for the Food and Drug Administration to award to the sponsor of a tropical disease product application, defined in section 524(a)(4), a priority review voucher, entitling the sponsor to priority review of a single human drug application that is unrelated to the tropical disease product application.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>&quot;Tobacco Products&quot; Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) provides FDA authority to regulate cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco.  Section 901 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as amended by the Tobacco Control Act, permits FDA to issue regulations deeming other tobacco products to be subject to the FD&C Act. This proposed rule would deem products meeting the statutory definition of "tobacco product" found at section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act to be subject to FDA's jurisdiction.  The scope of the proposed rule deeming cigars to be subject to FDA's jurisdiction that was previously included in the Unified Agenda is being broadened to encompass products that meet the statutory definition of "tobacco product."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Regulations Restricting the Sale and Distribution of Cigarettes and Smokeless Tobacco To Protect Children and Adolescents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102 of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) requires the Secretary to publish a final rule regarding cigarettes and smokeless tobacco identical in its provisions to the regulations promulgated by FDA in 1996 (61 FR 44396, August 28, 1996) (1996 final rule), with certain specified exceptions.  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 Tobacco Control Act 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disqualification of a Clinical Investigator</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 foods, 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Hospital and Personal Use Devices: Issuance of Draft Special Controls Guidance 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 issue a draft special controls guidance document that, when final, will be a special control 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Intentional Contamination</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (PL 111- 353) (FSMA) requires the Secretary of HHS to issue regulations to protect against the intentional adulteration of food. Section 106 requires that for foods that meet a certain threshold, the Secretary issue regulations that specify how a person is required to implement mitigation strategies or measures intended to protect against the intentional adulteration of food and specify appropriate science based mitigation strategies or measures to prepare and protect the food supply chain at specific vulnerable points. In addition, section 103 of FSMA requires that the Secretary promulgate regulations to establish science-based minimum standards for conducting a hazard analysis, documenting hazards, implementing preventive controls, and documenting the implementation of the preventive controls. Section 103 specifies that hazards include those that may be intentionally introduced. 

In this rule FDA will implement section 106 and section 103 as to hazards that are intentionally introduced. This rulemaking is part of a larger agency effort to focus on bolstering food defense throughout the food chain.]]></ABSTRACT>

The regulations will require that each importer have a foreign supplier verification program that is adequate to provide assurances that each foreign supplier produces food in compliance with: (1) Processes and procedures that provide the same level of public health protection as those required under section 418 (concerning hazard analysis and risk-based preventative controls) or section 419 (concerning produce safety standards) of the FD&C Act; and (2) sections 402 (concerning adulteration) and 403(w) (concerning major food allergens) of the FD&C Act.  In promulgating the foreign supplier verification regulations, we will, as appropriate, take into account differences among importers and types of imported foods, including differences related to the level of risk posed by an imported food.  Methods of foreign supplier verification may include monitoring records for shipments, lot-by-lot certifications of compliance, annual on-site inspections, checking the hazard analysis and risk-based preventive control plans of foreign suppliers, and periodically testing and sampling shipments.]]></ABSTRACT>

These proposed revisions are intended to assist sponsors who are seeking or who have obtained orphan-drug designation for their drugs. The revisions would clarify agency policy regarding, for example, eligibility for orphan-drug designations, eligibility for multiple orphan-drug exclusive approvals, the requirement for demonstrating clinical superiority, and the timing of request for designations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Devices; Exception From General Requirements for Informed Consent</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 this required documentation to FDA, in addition to submitting the documentation to the Institutional Review Board (IRB).]]></ABSTRACT>

The final rule also permits 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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule would describe the postmarket safety reporting requirements for combination products (combinations of a drug, device, and/or biological product).  The rule would provide a framework for the reporting of adverse events for combination products.  The rule would clarify that a combination product is subject primarily to the reporting requirements associated with the type of marketing application under which the product is approved or cleared.  In addition, the rule identifies unique reporting provisions that must be complied with if applicable.  The regulation would ensure the consistency and appropriateness of postmarket safety reporting for combination products while minimizing duplicative reporting requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

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>

        <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[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>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 final rule to amend feed additive, color additive, or veterinary regulations regarding compounds of carcinogenic concern used in food-producing animals. No food additive drug can be deemed safe if it is found to induce cancer in man or animals. An exception can be made for drugs and additives used in food prducing animals if it can be found that: (1) An animal feed additive, color additive, or veterinary drug will not adversely affect the animal, and (2) no residue of the animal feed additive, color additive,  or veterinary drug will be found in any edible portion of that animal when residues are measured according to an approved regulatory method.  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 So. The So 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 So is typically presented as mg per person per day, or mg per kg body weight per day. The So 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 So 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 Sm to conform to the revised definition of So.  The total quantity of residues of carcinogenic concern in edible tissues derived from the So is termed the Sm.  The Sm 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 So.  Specifically, FDA is proposing that Sm 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 So. These changes reflect advances in scientific technology.  Other clarifying and conforming changes are also being proposed.]]></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) or a supplement to an application, 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) (Pub. L. 111-353) amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) with respect to the safety of the food supply.  Section 207 of FSMA amends the criteria for ordering administrative detention of human or animal food in section 304(h)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act.  The existing criteria allow the agency to order the detention of any article of food if during an inspection, examination, or investigation an FDA officer or qualified employee finds there is credible evidence or information indicating that the article of food presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals.  Under the new criteria, FDA can order administrative detention if an FDA officer or qualified employee has reason to believe that an article of food is adulterated or misbranded.  Section 207 also requires the Secretary to issue an interim final rule implementing this change no later than 120 days following the date of enactment of FSMA.  The interim final rule will amend the administrative detention regulations codified at 21 CFR part 1, subpart K.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Suspension of Food Facility Registration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (the FD&C Act) with respect to the safety of the food supply.  This law (Pub. L. 111-353), in section 102, authorizes the Secretary, or as delegated, the FDA Commissioner, to suspend the registration of a facility registered under section 415 of the FD&C Act if he or she determines that food manufactured, processed, packed, received, or held by that facility has a reasonable probability of causing serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals, if the facility created, caused, or was otherwise responsible for such a reasonable probability; or knew of, or had reason to know of, such reasonable probability and packed, received or held such food. Section 102 of the FSMA further includes provisions relating to opportunities for informal hearings on registration suspension, FDA's authority to require submission of a corrective action plan, and vacation or modification of suspension orders and reinstatement of registration.  Section 102 of the FSMA directs FDA to implement these provisions by promulgating regulations, which may be done on an interim final basis.

If the registration of a facility is suspended under the authority provided by section 102 FSMA, no person shall import or export food into the United States from such a facility, offer to import or export food into the United States from such facility, or otherwise introduce food from such facility into interstate or intrastate commerce in the United Sates. Anticipated cost to registrants involve their inability to legally conduct such business operations if their food facility registration is suspended.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Additional Safeguards for Children in Clinical Investigation of FDA-Regulated Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule finalized the interim final rule published in 2001 to bring FDA regulations into compliance with provisions of the Children's Health Act of 2000. This rule amends FDA regulation on protection of human subjects (21 CFR Part 50) and institutional review boards (21 CFR Part 56) to provide additional safeguards for children enrolled in clinical investigation of FDA regulated trials. Compared to the interim final rule, this final rule makes minor editorial changes and a small number of substantive changes in response to comments received on the interim rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule will reorganize, consolidate, clarify, and modify current regulations at 21 CFR part 207 concerning who must register establishments and list human drugs, certain biological drugs, and animal drugs.  These regulations contain information on when, how, and where to register drug establishments and list drugs, and what information must be submitted for initial registration and listing and for changes to registration and listing.  Consistent with amended statutory requirements, the rule will require that this information be submitted electronically.  The rule will also make certain changes to the National Drug Code (NDC) system and would require that the appropriate human-readable NDC number appear on labels for drugs subject to the listing requirement.]]></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. Premarketing safety reporting requirements were finalized in a separate final rule published on September 29, 2010 (75 FR 59961). This final rule applies to postmarketing safety reporting requirements.]]></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>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 securely attached to the valve body.]]></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>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>

        <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 NPRM listed will address the professional labeling for sodium phosphate drug products.  The second NPRM listed will address all other professional labeling requirements for laxative drug products.  The final action will address laxative drug products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exceptions or Alternatives To Labeling Requirements for Products Held by the Strategic National Stockpile</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA issued regulations to permit FDA Center Directors to grant an exception or alternative to certain regulatory labeling provisions applicable to human drugs, biological products, or medical devices that are or will be included in the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS).  Under this rule, the appropriate FDA Center Director may grant an exception or alternative to such labeling requirements if he or she determines that compliance with such requirements could adversely affect the safety, effectiveness, or availability of specified lots, batches, or other units of human drugs, biological products, or medical devices that are or will be included in the SNS, 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>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 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>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 (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 randomly 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>Human Subject Protection; Acceptance of Data From Clinical Studies for Medical Devices</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 or 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 FDA 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>

        <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.

        <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>Medical Devices; Anesthesiology Devices; Reclassification of Pressure Regulators for Use With Medical Oxygen; and Separate Classification of Oxygen Conserving Devices</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing that certain ingredients in over-the-counter (OTC) drug products are not generally recognized as safe and effective or are misbranded.  FDA issued this proposed rule because we did not receive any data and information on these ingredients in response to our request on December 31, 2003 (68 FR 75585).  This rule will finalize the 2008 proposed rule.]]></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>Ingredient Standards and Definitions for Animal Foods</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The President signed into law the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) on September 27, 2007.  The FDAAA includes several provisions pertaining to food safety, including the safety of pet food.  FDAAA section 1002(a)(1) directs FDA to promulgate regulations within 2 years to establish pet food ingredient standards and definitions.  FDA plans to publish a proposed rule to establish standards for certain substances used in animal foods, to define which ingredient names shall be used on animal food labeling, and to add a new collective name for certain feed ingredients.  This same provision of the law also directs that, in developing these new regulations, FDA consult with the Association of American Feed Control Officials and other relevant stakeholder groups, including veterinary medical associations, animal health organizations, and pet food manufacturers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the Requirements for Constituent Materials</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

FDA recognizes the need for standardized reporting; thus, this direct final rule, with its companion proposal, is to mandate the use of an FDA form.]]></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 regulations 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>

        <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>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 the designation portion of these regulations (21 CFR part 516) on July 26, 2007 (72 FR 41010). These regulations describe the standards and procedures for designation of minor use or minor species new animal drugs.  Such designation establishes eligibility for the incentives provided by the MUMS Act. 

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 section 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>

        <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>

        <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 proposing to amend its regulations that govern medical examinations that aliens must undergo before they may be admitted to the United States. Specifically, HHS/CDC is proposing to update vaccination requirements, definitional changes for drug abuse and drug addiction, revise scope of medical examination, and update the list of "communicable disease of public health significance". HHS/CDC is proposing revisions to these regulations to reflect current medical knowledge and practices. These changes will reduce the health security threat to the United States from emerging diseases without imposing an undue burden on either the aliens or the health-care system in U.S. resettlement communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Total Inward Leakage Requirements for Respirators </RULE_TITLE>
        <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. NIOSH has carefully considered comments received during the public comment period which closed on 30 September 2010, and now proposes to establish the standard as certification requirements for an alternate class of respirators, rather than amend the current certification requirements. As such, manufacturers would have an opportunity to choose between applying for certification of half-mask air-purifying particulate respirators under the current standards or under the standards proposed for the alternate class. The proposed standards 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>Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002; Biennial Review and Republication of the Select Agent and Toxin List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By statute, the HHS Secretary establishes by regulation a list of each biological agent and each toxin that has the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety.  In determining whether to include an agent or toxin on the list, the HHS Secretary considers the effect on human health of exposure to an agent or toxin; the degree of contagiousness of the agent and the methods by which the agent or toxin is transferred to humans; the availability and effectiveness of pharmacotherapies and immunizations to treat and prevent illnesses resulting from an agent or toxin; the potential for an agent or toxin to be used as a biological weapon; and the needs of children and other vulnerable populations.  The Bioterrorism Preparedness Act requires that the HHS Secretary review and republish the list of select agents and toxins on at least a biennial basis.  To assist with the biennial review, HHS reviewed recommendations provided by subject matter experts and the Intragovernmental Select Agents and Toxins Advisory Committee. In addition, on July 2, 2010, the President signed "Executive Order 13546: Optimizing the Security of Biological Select Agents and Toxins in the United States" to review, tier, and reduce the Select Agent List; establishing personal reliability standards for BSAT workers; and establishing physical security standards for identified Tier 1 select agents and toxins.  This NPRM follows on the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published July 21, 2010.  In the NPRM, HHS is also requesting public comment on including the SARS virus and Chapare virus on the list relative to the proposed tiering of select agents and toxins.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NIOSH certifies respirators used in a variety of industrial settings; regulations governing certification are codified in 42 CFR part 84. The "closed-circuit self-contained breathing apparatus" is a type of respirator used by first responders, fire service personnel, mine rescue teams, and military personnel in such applications as HazMat remediation, mine and tunnel rescue, and other security operations. It allows users to enter into atmospheres immediately dangerous to life and health. NIOSH is working to update and improve the standards used to certify such respirators, which are codified under 42 CFR part 84, and intends to publish the proposed standards in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Communicable Diseases: Foreign and Possessions; Proposed Revision of CDC Etiological Agents Importation Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By statute, CDC implements regulations found at 42 CFR 71.54 restricting the importation and transportation of etiologic agents.  Importers are required to complete an application for permit.  Under its current regulatory framework, policies and procedures, the EAIPP does not perform on-site inspections at these facilities prior to the issuance of an import permit.  Permits are issued based on a review of safety information provided by a potential importer in support of an import permit application.  Rule-making is needed with the aim of improving CDC's ability to prevent importation of communicable diseases into the United States.  CDC is considering whether to adopt a program similar to the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Program such as conducting inspections on importer facilities prior to issuance of a permit for etiologic agents such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Hantavirus, providing an appeal process for denied applications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidelines for Determining the Probability of Causation Under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000; Revision of Guidelines for Non-Radiogenic Cancers</RULE_TITLE>
        <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[Title I of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 requires that the World Trade Center (WTC) Program Administrator develop regulations to implement portions of the WTC Health Program established within the Department of Health and Human Services. The WTC Health Program, which will be administered in part by the Director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will provide medical monitoring and treatment to firefighters and other eligible responders who responded to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City, Shanksville, PA, and at the Pentagon, and to eligible survivors of the New York City attacks. The proposed rule establishes the processes by which the WTC Program Administrator may add a new condition to the list of WTC-related health conditions through rulemaking, including a process for considering petitions by interested parties to add a new condition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Communicable Diseases: Foreign and Possessions Regulations; Nonhuman Primate</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By statute, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has broad authority to prevent introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and from one State or possession into another. The Secretary has delegated the authority to prevent the introduction of diseases from foreign countries to the Director, CDC. CDC also enforces entry requirements for certain animals, etiologic agents, and vectors deemed to be of public health significance. On January 5 2011, CDC published an NPRM 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. The comment period for this NPRM will end on March 7, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title I of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 requires that the World Trade Center (WTC) Program Administrator develop regulations to implement portions of the WTC Health Program established within the Department of Health and Human Services. The WTC Health Program, which will be administered in part by the Director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will provide medical monitoring and treatment to firefighters and other eligible responders who responded to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City, Shanksville, PA, and at the Pentagon, and to eligible survivors of the New York City attacks. The interim final rule establishes the processes by which eligible responders and survivors may apply for enrollment in the WTC Health Program, obtain health monitoring and treatment for WTC-related health conditions, and appeal enrollment and treatment decisions. The interim final rule also establishes reimbursement rates for providers who provide initial health evaluations, treatment, and health monitoring.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NIOSH certifies respirators used in a variety of industrial settings; regulations governing certification are codified in 42 CFR part 84. Currently, although wildland firefighters are exposed to dangerous smoke and fire gases of varying concentrations in an outdoor environment, NIOSH regulations do not provide for the certification of respirators for these workers. The National Fire Protection Association Technical Committee on Respiratory Protection Equipment has requested that NIOSH develop a new standard for wildland firefighter respiratory protection.]]></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[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>

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 and illness resulting from infection by the agent or toxin, and (5) any other criteria, including the needs of children and other vulnerable populations that the HHS Secretary considers appropriate.  Based on these criteria, we are proposing to amend the list of HHS select agents and toxins by adding Chapare virus to the list.  After consulting with subject matter experts from CDC, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Food Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), USDA/Agricultural Research Service (ARS), USDA/CVB (Center for Veterinary Biologics), and the Department of Defense (DOD)/United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) and review of relevant published studies, we believe the Chapare virus should be added to the list of HHS select agents and toxins based on our conclusion that the Chapare virus has been phylogenetically identified as a Clade B arena virus and is closely related to other South American arena viruses that cause hemorrhagic fever, particularly Sabia virus.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>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>

        <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>Community Mental Health Services and Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <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, and helping States 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would codify in regulations certain statutory provisions established under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (TWWIIA).

        <RULE_TITLE>Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) State Plan Services Program and 5-Year Approvals and Renewals for Waivers and Demonstration Projects(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) under the Deficit Reduction Act.  This rule would allow States, at their option, to provide home and community-based services (HCBS) under their regular State Medicaid plans.  This proposed rule revises the 2008 proposed rule to implement provisions of the Affordable Care Act 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 previous proposed rule pertaining to the HCBS benefit under the Medicaid State plan.  Finally,  this proposed rule would clarify that Medicaid waivers that provide services for individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid could be authorized for as long as 5 years.  Any waiver that provides medical assistance for dual eligible individuals (including any waivers under which non-dual eligible individuals may be enrolled) may be conducted for a period of 5 years and, upon request by the State, may be extended for additional 5-year periods.]]></ABSTRACT>

These proposed CoPs would focus on the care provided to the client, establish requirements for staff and provider operations, and encourage clients to participate in their care plan and treatment. The new CoPs would enable CMS to survey CMHCs for compliance with health and safety requirements.]]></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 introduce several new features as a result of the passage of the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) including a CHIP performance bonus payment system through 2013.   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.  Under section 2102 of the Affordable Care Act, this rule would also make technical corrections to selected provisions in CHIPRA and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).]]></ABSTRACT>

When this face-to-face encounter is performed by a physician assistant, a nurse practitioner or a clinical nurse specialist, a physician must document that the face-to-face has occurred pursuant to the order being written.  The complete list of covered items of DME that require a face-to-face encounter will be published annually in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

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>

This regulation would provide standards for CMS to apply in reviewing State plan amendments (and ongoing State program operation) for compliance with this beneficiary access requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Payments for Primary Care Services Under the Medicaid Program (CMS-2370-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation implements section 1202 of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which increases Medicaid payments for certain primary care services provided in 2013 and 2014. The increased payments pertain to services provided by a physician with a specialty designation of family medicine, general internal medicine, and pediatric medicine.  States must pay for these services at a rate equal to or greater than the rate paid under Medicare Part B.  Rates in Medicaid managed care must be consistent with these minimum payment rates.  The FMAP to states for such services will equal 100% for the portion of cost for such primary care services, which is comprised of the difference between the Medicare Part B rate and the amount applicable in the State Plan as of July 1, 2009.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements To Implement American Health Benefit Exchanges and Other Provisions of the Affordable Care Act (CMS-9989-P)</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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule for the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, which was published in the Federal Register on July 28, 2010, specifies that CMS will expand on the criteria for meaningful use established for Stage 1 to advance the use of certified EHR technology by eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs). This proposed rule would establish the requirements for Stage 2.  As stated in the July 28 final rule, "Our goals for the Stage 2 meaningful use criteria, consistent with other provisions of Medicare and  Medicaid law, expand upon the Stage 1 criteria to encourage the use of health IT for continuous quality improvement at the point of care and the exchange of information in the most structured format possible, such as the electronic transmission of orders entered using computerized provider order entry (CPOE) and the electronic transmission of diagnostic test results."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Enhanced Federal Funding for Medicaid Eligibility Determination and Enrollment Activities (CMS-2346-F)</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 Affordable Care Act 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 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>

        <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>Children&apos;s Health Insurance Program  (CHIP) Child Enrollment Contingency Fund Payments (CMS-2488-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 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>

        <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 emphasize 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Long-Term Care Facility Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement Dementia Management and Abuse Prevention Training (CMS-3231-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would implement section 6102 of the Affordable Care Act by amending the requirements that an institution must meet to participate as a skilled nursing facility (SNF) in the Medicare program, or a nursing facility (NF) in the Medicaid program.  This proposed rule would require these long term care (LTC) facilities to develop, implement, and maintain a quality assessment and performance improvement (QAPI) program. In addition, this proposed rule would also amend the requirements that an institution must meet in order to qualify to participate as a SNF in the Medicare program, or as a NF in the Medicaid program, by requiring the current mandatory on-going training requirements for nurse aides (NA) to include dementia management and resident abuse training.  This proposed rule would also clarify that the definition of NA includes an individual who provides services through an agency or under contract with a SNF or NF. Finally, this proposed rule would address section 6121 of the Affordable Care Act which requires facilities to include dementia management and abuse prevention training as part of pre-employment initial training for permanent and contract or agency staff, and if the Secretary determines appropriate, as part of ongoing in-service training.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revised the Medicare hospital inpatient prospective payment systems (IPPS) for operating costs of acute care hospitals to implement a hospital value-based purchasing program. These changes apply to discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2012, in accordance with the Social Security Act (as added on March 23, 2010 by section 3001 of the Affordable Care Act). The Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program is based on measures reported through the existing Medicare Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program (IQR), formerly known as the Reporting Hospital Quality Data for the Annual Payment Update Program (RHQDAPU), and rewards hospitals for performance on measures of quality, rather than simply reporting on those measures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Section 508 Hospitals--Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 Changes (CMS-1357-N)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102 of the Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 extends section 508 of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) and certain additional special exception hospital reclassifications from October 1, 2010, through September 30, 2011.  Effective April 1, 2011, section 102 also requires removing section 508 and special exception hospitals' wage data from the calculation of the reclassified wage index if doing so raises the reclassified wage index.  All hospitals affected by section 102 will be assigned an individual special wage index effective April 1, 2011.  If the section 508 or special exception hospital's wage index applicable for the period beginning on October 1, 2010, and ending on March 31, 2011, is lower than for the period beginning on April 1, 2011, and ending on September 30, 2011, the hospital will be paid an additional amount that reflects the difference between the wage indices.  The provision applies to both inpatient and outpatient hospital payments, although the implementation timeframe differs for outpatient hospital payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

This includes information on claims payment policies, the number of claims denied, data on rating practices and other information as determined by the Secretary. The provision also requires plans and issuers to provide to individuals upon request the amount of cost sharing that the individual would be responsible for paying for a specific item or service provided by a participating provider.  This interim final rule would implement information disclosure provisions in section 2715A of the Public Health Service Act, as added by the Affordable Care Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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) focusing on children with disabilities; and (3) removing barriers to serving homeless children.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Case Closure Improvements for Tribal IV-D Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.  After appropriate tribal consultation, OCSE will propose case closure criteria for tribal IV-D cases.  Once final, this regulation will help tribes with case closure processes, while ensuring that all viable cases remain open.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medicare and State Health Care Programs:  Fraud and Abuse; Revisions to the Office of Inspector General&apos;s Safe Harbors Under the Antikickback Status, Exclusion Authorities, and Civil Monetary Penalty </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would:
1) Safe Harbor Provisions: Add safe harbors under the anti-kickback statute addressing arrangements in the following areas (subject to certain conditions): waivers of Federal health care program beneficiary cost-sharing amounts in the context of certain government sponsored clinical trials and in the context of certain emergency medical services furnished by suppliers owned or operated by States or municipalities; certain local transportation provided to Federal health care program beneficiaries; certain waived or reduced cost-sharing amounts under Medicare Part D (codifying in regulations section 101(e) of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003); and certain discounts in the price of "applicable drugs" of manufacturers furnished to "applicable beneficiaries" under the Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program (pursuant to section 3301 of the Affordable Care Act of 2010). In addition, this rule would re-propose expanding the existing safe harbor for certain waivers of beneficiary co-insurance and deductible amounts for Part A or Part B services for Medicare SELECT policyholders in accordance with an agreement between the Medicare SELECT issuer and a provider or supplier, in certain contexts.
2) OIG's Authority To Impose Civil Money Penalties and Assessments (610 Review): Revise 42 CFR part 1003, addressing the Office of Inspector General's authority to propose the imposition of civil money penalties and assessments by reorganizing and simplifying existing regulatory text and eliminating obsolete references contained in the current regulations. Among the proposed revisions, this rule would establish separate subparts within part 1003 for various categories of violations; clarify the availability of exclusion for certain violations in addition to civil money penalties and assessments; date various references to managed care organization authorities; and clarify the application of section 1140 of the Social Security Act with respect to the misuse of certain Departmental symbols, emblems, or names through Internet and e mail communications.
3)  OIG's Exclusion Authority: 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 misrepresentation of materials facts, and; to broaden the scope of certain permissive exclusion authorities. Finally, the proposed rule would revise current exclusion authorities in 42 CFR parts 1001, 1002, and 1005, to further clarify OIG's existing exclusion authorities. 
4)  Exceptions to the Beneficiary Inducement Prohibition for Certain Arrangements  This proposed rule will codify section 6402(d)(2)(B) of the Affordable Care Act of 2010, entitled "Clarification of Treatment of Certain Charitable and Other Innocuous Programs." Section 1128A(a)(5) of the Social Security Act provides for a civil monetary penalty for certain inducements offered to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Section 6402(d)(2)(B) of the ACA adds four exceptions to the definition of remuneration at section 1128A(i)(6) of the Social Security Act for purposes of section 1128A(a)(5): certain remuneration which promotes access to care and poses a low risk of harm to patients and Federal health care programs (as defined in section 1128(f) of the Social Security Act and designated by the Secretary under regulations); certain offers or transfers in connection with retail rewards programs; certain unadvertised transfers of items or services to beneficiaries experiencing financial need; and certain waivers by PDP sponsors of Part D plans or MA organizations offering MA-PD plans of copayments otherwise owed by their enrollees for the first fill of a covered Part D drug that is a generic drug.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice proposes modifications to current regulations that prohibit State Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCUs) from using Federal matching funds to conduct efforts to identify situations in which a question of fraud may exist, including the screening of claims, analysis of patterns of practice, or routine verification with recipients of whether services billed by providers were actually received.  The modifications would allow data mining to be conducted by MFCUs under limited circumstances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rescission of Interest Prohibition in the Principles for Determining Costs at Hospitals Under Federal Grants, Contracts, and Cooperative Agreements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) would rescind the current prohibition against interest as an allowable expense.  The recision applies only to interest endured for new construction, facility acquisitions, and interest debt to acquire or replace facility acquisitions.  It makes the Hospital Cost Principles consistent with the Office of Management and Budget circulars for Colleges and Universities (OMB Circular A-21), Non-Profit Institutions (OMB Circular A-122), and State and Local Governments (OMB Circular A-87) concerning the allowance of interest debt.

These other principles were revised in the early 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.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise part 1003, addressing the Office of Inspector General's authority to propose the imposition of civil money penalties and assessments by reorganizing and simplifying existing regulatory text and eliminating obsolete references contained in the current regulations. Among the proposed revisions, this rule would establish separate subparts within part 1003 for various categories of violations; clarify the availability of exclusion for certain violations in addition to civil money penalties and assessments; date various references to managed care organization authorities; and clarify the application of section 1140 of the Social Security Act with respect to the misuse of certain Departmental symbols, emblems, or names through Internet and email communications.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

In addition, this rule would re-propose expanding the existing safe harbor for certain waivers of beneficiary co-insurance and deductible amounts for Part A or Part B services for Medicare SELECT policyholders in accordance with an agreement between the Medicare SELECT issuer and a provider or supplier, in certain contexts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Health and Human Services issues this Final Rule which provides that enforcement of the federal statutory health care provider conscience protections will be handled by the Department's Office for Civil Rights, in conjunction with the Department's funding components.  This Final Rule rescinds, in part, and revises, the December 19, 2008 Final Rule entitled "Ensuring That Department of Health and Human Services Funds Do Not Support Coercive or Discriminatory Policies or Practices in Violation of Federal Law" (the "2008 Final Rule").  Neither the 2008 final rule, nor this Final Rule, alters the statutory protections for individuals and health care entities under the federal health care provider conscience protection statutes, including the Church Amendments, Section 245 of the Public Health Service Act, and the Weldon Amendment.  These federal statutory health care provider conscience protections remain in effect.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking action will revise 6 CFR part 5, which contains the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) (FOIA) and Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) regulations. 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>

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

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection of Nontax Debts Owed to the Department of Homeland Security</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) debt collection regulations to conform to the Debt Collection Act of 1982, Public Law 97-365, 96 Stat. 1749 (Oct. 25, 1982), as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), Public Law 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321, 1358 (Apr. 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>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The REAL ID Act of 2005 (the Act) prohibits Federal agencies, effective May 11, 2008, from accepting a driver's license or personal identification card for any official purpose unless the license or card has been issued by a State that is meeting the requirements set forth in the Act. The Act sets forth certain minimum standards applicable to the driver's license issuance process. Section 205(b) of the REAL ID Act authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant States extensions of time to meet the requirements of the Act if the State provides adequate justification for noncompliance. Pursuant to the Department of Homeland Security's REAL ID regulations, States must be in full compliance with the REAL ID Act of 2005 by May 11, 2011.  This final rule changes that date to January 15, 2013.]]></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>

        <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>

The Department of Homeland Security regulations do not define uniform standards for civil surgeon designation or procedures for granting and revoking civil surgeon designations.

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend its regulations by extending the availability of employment authorization to H-4 dependent spouses of principal H-1B nonimmigrants who have begun the process of seeking lawful permanent resident (LPR) status through employment and have extended their authorized period of admission or "stay" in the U.S. under section 104(c) or 106(a) of Public Law 106-313, also known as the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000 (AC21). Allowing the eligible class of H-4 dependent spouses to work encourages professionals with high demand skills to remain in the country and help spur the innovation and growth of U.S. companies, and thus allow the United States to remain a world leader in high technology.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security 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>

        <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>

        <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 1-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>

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

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>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 would also amend the regulations to remove references to outdated application procedures for the I-551.  The application process required by this rule would 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 would establish 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 would also amend 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 would amend 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>

        <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>

        <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 for the H-1B nonimmigrant classification.  This action is necessary because the demand for H-1B specialty occupation workers by U.S. companies generally exceeds the numerical limitation.  This rule is intended to allow USCIS to more efficiently manage the intake and lottery process for these H-1B petitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Transitional Worker Classification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends Department of Homeland Security regulations to create and establish procedures for a new, temporary, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)-only transitional worker classification (CW classification).  This final rule implements the CNMI transitional worker provisions of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA), extending the immigration laws of the United States to the CNMI. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations affecting the reporting of H-2B construction wage rates in Guam.  DHS has determined that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is not the appropriate sub-agency to evaluate prevailing wage rates in Guam and is amending its regulations by removing the agency approval requirements.  DHS is amending its regulations by removing the USCIS approval requirements for evaluating prevailing wage rates in Guam.  This direct final rule removes USCIS from the process of setting appropriate prevailing wage rates for H-2B construction occupations on Guam. Department of Labor will now determine and evaluate prevailing wage rates for construction occupations on Guam using its current process without additional review or oversight by USCIS.]]></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 (Jan. 5, 2006), made further amendments to the battered spouse provisions of the INA.  The Department issued another interim final rule to make the changes required by the recent legislation and to provide an opportunity for notice and comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of Status to That of Person Admitted for Permanent Residence; Temporary Removal of Certain Restrictions of Eligibility</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is amending its regulations governing eligibility for adjustment of status under section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to conform the regulations to existing policy and procedures and to remove language that has been superseded by subsequent legislation. Specifically, this rule conforms the regulations to include the changes made by Public Law 105-119 and Public Law 106-544. It also provides for the changes contained in the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act of 2000 (LIFE Act). As required by the LIFE Act, this rule changes the sunset date of section 245(i) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act to the new date of April 30, 2001, for filing of qualifying petitions or applications that enable the applicant to apply to adjust status using section 245(i) and clarifies the effect of the new sunset date on eligibility. This means that in order to preserve the ability to apply for adjustment of status under section 245(i), an alien must be the beneficiary of a visa petition for classification under section 204 of the Act or application for labor certification properly filed on or before April 30, 2001, and determined to have approval when filed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

        <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>

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

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule 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>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>Requiring Residents Who Live Outside the United States To File for Alien Relatives According to Form Instructions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations to remove restrictions on where a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, may be filed, accepted, processed, and approved.  This rule provides that Petition for Alien Relative filings will be made based on the filing address(es) provided in the form instructions.  References to offices, form numbers, approval authorities, and internal procedures are also removed.  This action is being taken to reduce DHS costs to accept and approve filings of a Petition for Alien Relative in international locations, such as consulates and embassies, and to increase the flexibility of DHS in administering this program.]]></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 (OPA). 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 OPA 90, 33 U.S.C. 2712(a)(4). This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's broad role and responsibility of maritime stewardship.]]></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>

        <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>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. In addition, specific reporting requirements for general and containerized cargo lost or jettisoned at sea will be included to establish as means to capture data concerning lost cargo.  The new rule is expected to reduce the loss of cargo, including hazardous material, in U.S. waters, as well as reducing injuries related to cargo container related accidents..  In addition, this new rule will enable the Coast Guard to better identify, track, and warn mariners of the threat to navigation posed by cargo lost at sea. Reducing cargo lost in U.S. waters supports the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime stewardship and safety.]]></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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lifesaving Equipment, Production Testing, and Harmonization With International Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations for certain lifesaving equipment, including launching appliances (winches and davits), release mechanisms, survival craft (lifeboats, inflatable life rafts, and inflatable buoyant apparatuses), rescue boats, and automatic disengaging devices.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Potable Water Standards for Inspected Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 (Pub. L. 108-293, Aug. 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>

These amendments would further define and simplify the rules for initial disclosures and discovery. This rulemaking proposes to amend Coast Guard's discovery rules in administrative hearings to clarify procedural regulations in contested proceedings and improve the efficiency of the hearing process.  These amendments would further define the rules for initial disclosures and discovery and are envisioned to assist the unrepresented mariner, decrease discovery related time and burden, and reflect the best practice methods generally found in administrative law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Documentation User Fees--Annual Renewal Fee</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to add to our regulations a requirement to include an additional fee for annual renewals of vessel documentation.  The purpose of this rulemaking is to cover the operating costs of providing renewal services.  As required by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508)  and based on criteria in 31 USC 9701, the Coast Guard must recover, to the extent of existing authority, current operating and overhead costs associated with vessel documentation, filing, and recording activities under 46 USC chapters 121 and 313.  The Coast Guard reviewed current fees in 46 CFR part 67 and determined that the fees need to be adjusted to accommodate changes in the cost of providing the services.  These fees have not been adjusted since 1993.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waiver of Citizenship Requirements for Crewmembers on Commercial Fishing Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to add to our regulations a description of the procedures for requesting and processing waivers from the citizenship requirements on commercial fishing vessels.  Title 46 U.S.C. 8103 provides for relief from the requirement that not more than 25 percent of the total number of unlicensed seamen on a U.S. documented vessel may be aliens lawfully admitted to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1952.  We believe we can improve our efforts to inform the commercial fishing industry of this statutorily provided relief by incorporating our application procedure policy into our regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reconsideration of Letters of Recommendation for Waterfront Facilities Handling LNG and LHG</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under 33 CFR part 127, the Coast Guard issues a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) as to the suitability of a waterway for liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied hazardous gas (LHG) marine traffic associated with a new or modified LNG or LHG facility.  Currently, Coast Guard reconsideration of LORs follows the process set forth in 33 CFR 127.015, "Appeals."

        <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 (OPA 90)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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would implement provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 that require an owner or operator of a tank vessel carrying bulk hazardous substances to develop and submit to the Coast Guard a response plan and operate in accordance with an approved response plan. The regulations would apply to vessels operating on the navigable waters or within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United States that carry bulk hazardous substances. Additionally, this project would update shipboard marine pollution emergency plans for noxious liquid substance (SMPEP-NLS) requirements that apply to certain nontank vessels and tank vessels. A separate rulemaking, under RIN 1625-AA12, would address hazardous substances response plan requirements for marine transportation-related facilities. This project supports the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime safety and maritime stewardship by reducing the amount of chemicals entering the environment, as well as reducing the consequences of pollution incidents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Requirements for Notices of Arrival and Departure, and Automatic Identification System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposes 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 when a vessel is departing for a foreign port or place, and mandate electronic submission of NOAD notices to the National Vessel Movement Center.  The AIS portion of this rulemaking proposes to expand current AIS carriage requirements for the population identified in the Marine Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nontank Vessel Response Plans and Other Vessel Response Plan Requirements</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>Changes to Standard Numbering System, Vessel Identification System, and Boating Accident Report Database</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Offshore Supply Vessels of 6000 GT ITC or More</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010 removed the size limit on offshore supply vessels (OSVs), allowing these vessels to exceed 6,000  gross tons under the International Convention on Tonnage (GT ITC).  The Act also directed the Coast Guard to issue, as soon as is practicable, an interim rule to implement section 617 of the Act and to ensure the safe carriage of oil, hazardous substances, and individuals in addition to the crew on these vessels.  Accordingly, the Coast Guard's interim rule will address design, manning, carriage of personnel, and related topics for OSVs of 6,000  GT ITC or more.  This rulemaking will meet the requirements of the Act and will support the Coast Guard's mission of marine safety, security, and stewardship.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regatta and Marine Parade Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These routine and frequent regulations establish operating schedules and notice requirements for drawbridges across navigable waterways. Drawbridge regulations establish the permanent draw operation schedules for bridges and specify what notice mariners must give to request an opening. Short-term deviations from the permanent schedule may be issued for bridge repairs or to test the effectiveness of a proposed new opening schedule. Drawbridge regulations are promulgated by District Commanders usually at the request of the bridge owner or operator, or of local officials or local Coast Guard bridge administration officials. These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime safety and maritime stewardship in relation to the mobility of commercial and recreational vessel traffic.

        <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>

        <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>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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would incorporate the provisions of 46 U.S.C. 3316(c) regarding approval of classification societies into 46 CFR part 2.  Federal law requires that classification societies conducting certain work in the United States be approved by the Coast Guard.  In this rule, we detail application procedures and performance standards that classification societies must meet in order to obtain approval by the Coast Guard.  Through this rule, we seek to improve marine safety and environmental protection by assuring the consistency and quality of work conducted by classification societies that review, examine, survey, or certify the construction, repair, or alteration of a vessel in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Marine Vapor Control Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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>

These changes will close loopholes, increase the efficiency and reliability of drug test reporting, and reorganize 46 CFR 16 into question & answer format.  Amendments to 33 CFR 95 will authorize Coast Guard civilian marine investigators to order post-accident drug tests (in the same way as active duty mariner investigators do).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Limited Service Domestic Voyage Load Lines for River Barges on Lake Michigan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory project will allow certain unmanned dry cargo river barges operating on Lake Michigan to be exempted from the normal Great Lakes load line requirements. Instead, they may qualify for a conditional load line exemption, or for a limited service domestic voyage load line (depending on which Lake Michigan route). This rulemaking pertains to two specific routes: Chicago to Milwaukee, and Chicago to Muskegon. This will allow certain non-hazardous cargoes originating at inland river ports to be transported as far as Milwaukee and Muskegon by river barge, thereby benefiting from the relatively low cost per ton-mile of river barge transportation. Compliance is not mandatory and is voluntary for those river barge operators who seek to expand their operations onto these routes. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime safety and maritime stewardship.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 proposed 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' Routing," 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>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>

The revised regulations broaden the protection already afforded uniformed members of the Coast Guard by: (1) Providing other persons and organizations in addition to members of Congress or an Inspector General to whom Coast Guard members may take protected communications, and (2) expanding the subject matter of protected communications to include sexual harassment and discrimination, among other subjects.  Additionally, changes to the regulations update the responsibilities of the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security to conform to relevant statutory provisions.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CBP officers are currently stationed at Morses Line, Vermont, a border crossing located within the port limits of the port of entry of Highgate Springs/Alburg, Vermont, to accept entries of merchandise, collect duties, and enforce the various provisions of the customs, navigation, and immigration laws.  As an aging facility, the Morses Line border crossing no longer meets operational, safety, and technology standards.  Extensive and costly upgrades would be required to bring the border crossing in line with modern requirements.  Based on internal analyses, feedback from many individuals in the local community, and consultation with members of Congress, DHS is evaluating the potential closure of the Morses Line border crossing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exemption From Entry Requirements for Certain Department of Defense Vessels and Aircraft</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under current regulations, certain vessels and aircraft owned or chartered by the Department of Defense (DoD) are exempt from entry requirements and in some cases reporting requirements upon their arrival in the United States from a foreign place.  The exemptions generally apply when the vessel or aircraft is transporting cargo that is solely the property of the DoD or when it is transporting passengers traveling on official business of the United States.  This rule would revise the criteria for applying these exemptions to better address the manner in which the DoD moves cargo and passengers in support of its missions. Under the rule, the entry exemption would apply to certain DoD-owned or chartered vessels and aircraft carrying cargo and/or passengers approved for carriage in the Defense Transportation System (DTS), the secure system used by DoD to move cargo and passengers in support of DoD's missions.  Additionally, certain DoD-owned vessels would not have to report their arrival if they are transporting only passengers and/or cargo approved for carriage in the DTS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Boquillas Border Crossing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would create a new border crossing at Boquillas, Texas in the Big Bend National Park.  It would be established as a Class B port of entry for immigration purposes and as a Customs station for customs purposes, under the supervision of the El Paso port of entry.  CBP and the National Park service plan to partner on the construction of a joint use facility in the Big Bend National Park which will provide facility requirements to operate a border crossing.  On May 19, 2010, President Obama and Mexican President Calderon issued a joint statement recognizing that the Big Bend National Park in the United States and the Protected Areas of Maderas del Carmen, Canon de Santa Elena, Ocampo, and Rio Bravo del Norte in Mexico together comprise one of the largest and most significant ecological complexes in North America.  The opening of the Boquillas crossing would help establish the Big Bend  Rio Bravo region as a natural area of bi-national interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to the In-Bond Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations, imported merchandise may be transported in-bond.  This process allows imported merchandise to be entered at one U.S. port of entry without appraisement or payment of duties and transported by a bonded carrier to another U.S. port of entry provided all statutory and regulatory conditions are met.  At the destination port, the merchandise is officially entered into the commerce of the United States and duties paid, or, the merchandise is exported.  This rule would make various changes to the in-bond regulations to enhance CBP's ability to regulate and track in-bond merchandise and to ensure that the in-bond merchandise is properly entered and duties are paid or that the in-bond merchandise is exported.  Among other things, the proposed changes would eliminate the paper in-bond application (CBP Form 7512) and require carriers or their agents to electronically file the in-bond application.]]></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>

        <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>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

        <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>Civil Monetary Penalties Inflation Adjustment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (Improvement Act) requires the head of each government agency to adjust each civil monetary penalty within their jurisdiction every four years to ensure that the penalties maintain their deterrent effect.  This document amends the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations, 8 CFR 280.53 and 8 CFR 1280.53, to adjust for inflation various civil monetary penalties assessed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).  The adjusted penalties are calculated according to a statutory formula provided in the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (Adjustment Act).]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Inspection and Expedited Removal of Aliens; Detention and Removal of Aliens; Conduct of Removal Proceedings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Many of the provisions of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) became effective April 1, 1997. Some provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) that were not superseded by IIRIRA became effective November 1, 1996. On March 6, 1997, INS and the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) published an interim final rule revising the asylum process; providing a mechanism for the determination and review of certain applicants who demonstrate a credible fear of persecution if returned to their own country; defining the inspection and admission process including new expedited removal procedures for aliens attempting to enter the United States through fraud or misrepresentation by apprehension, detention, and removal of aliens; addressing conduct of removal proceedings; and revising many other sections of the regulations to conform with the new laws.  On December 6, 2000, INS and EOIR published the rule "Asylum Procedures" (INS No. 1865-97; RIN 1115-AE93), which finalized the asylum portions of this interim rule. DHS intends to publish a final rule to finalize the portions of this rulemaking relating to inspection and expedited removal of aliens, detention and deportation and removal of aliens, and the conduct of removal proceedings.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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>

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 Immigration and Nationality Act are met.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments to part 122 of the Customs and Border Protection regulations regarding the standards for employee access to customs security areas at airports that accommodate international air commerce. Amendments involve the addition of a biennial access approval reapplication requirement, an expansion of the grounds for denial of an application for access, the addition of a requirement that each employee granted access must report certain changes in the employee's circumstances, the inclusion of several new employer responsibilities, an expansion of the grounds for revocation or suspension of access and for proposed revocation or suspension of access, and a limitation of the opportunity to have a hearing in a revocation or suspension action to only cases in which there is a genuine issue regarding a material fact. These changes are needed to enhance the security areas at all airports.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations, direct flights between the United States and Cuba must arrive at or depart from one of three named U.S. airports:  John F. Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, or Miami International Airport.  This rule amends current DHS regulations to allow additional U.S. airports that are able to process international flights to request approval of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to process authorized flights between the United States and Cuba.  These amendments are in accordance with the President's recent statement easing the restrictions placed on flights to and from Cuba by, among other things, providing that eligible airports may seek approval from CBP to accommodate flights arriving from, or departing for, Cuba.  This statement builds upon the President's 2009 initiative to promote democracy and human rights in Cuba by easing travel restrictions to facilitate greater contact between separated family members in the United States and Cuba.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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>

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 and railroads.

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>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.

TSA has coordinated its efforts with the FAA throughout the rulemaking process to ensure that the final rule does not interfere with FAA's ability or authority to regulate part 145 repair station safety matters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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>

        <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>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>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>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Continued Detention of Aliens Subject to Final Orders of Removal</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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>

Certain permanent resident aliens rendered ineligible for section 212(c) relief by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act and certain nonpermanent resident aliens rendered ineligible for suspension of deportation by the stop-time rule in IIRIRA may apply for "repapering" (as it is commonly known) under this rule. This process would not apply to aliens eligible for 212(c) relief pursuant to the procedures described in the Executive Office for Immigration Review rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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

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

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Strengthening Control Over Immigration Surety Bonds</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department continues to experience problems collecting the funds for breached surety bonds. Several surety companies and/or their bonding agents continue to circumvent administrative remedies to address immigration surety bond claims sent out by the Department and have evaded the judicial review process.

This rule proposes to strengthen the Department's control over the collection of immigration surety bonds by improving current DHS procedures and by providing the Department with stronger enforcement measures. Specifically, this rule will require surety companies and bonding agents to exhaust administrative remedies by using the Department's appeal procedures, as a prerequisite to challenging the Department's actions under the Administrative Procedure Act, before seeking judicial review of DHS actions. Also, this rule limits the exposure of the Department in cases when bonding agents have acted improperly or when authorities have been denied by their corporate principals and encourages surety companies and bonding agents to respond early if there are any issues or disputes with the Department's claim. Further, the rule formalizes DHS' reporting requirements to the Department of Treasury and provides notification to the Treasury of high-dollar volume of unpaid debt over 90 days old. Lastly, the rule adds an enforcement measure to suspend acceptance of surety bonds from bonding agents and/or surety companies that have large unpaid balances or who do not otherwise respond to DHS invoices. This rule is necessary to ensure that the Department receives funds owed by the surety companies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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[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, and the application process.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this rule the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) proposes the implementation of the Cost Estimating Format (CEF) as the standard estimating procedure for large permanent work projects authorized under the Public Assistance program.  FEMA also proposes to implement set ceiling and floor thresholds of plus or minus 10 percent.  Under this rule, FEMA would reimburse an applicant for the portion of an overrun that is greater than the 10 percent ceiling threshold, but FEMA would not reimburse an applicant for an overrun that is more than the CEF estimate but less than the 10 percent ceiling threshold.  If there is an underrun, an applicant would retain the portion of the underrun that is less than the 10 percent floor threshold to use for hazard mitigation activities, but would return the portion of the underrun that is greater than the 10 percent floor threshold.]]></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) 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), which is related to individuals with disabilities.  It would also propose to revise FEMA's regulations to allow for the payment of security deposits and the costs of utilities, excluding telephone service.  Additionally, 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>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>

        <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>

        <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>Equal Access to Housing in HUD Programs--Regardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity 
(FR-5359)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this final 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>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>

The proposed regulatory amendments will implement the changes made to section 106 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 by Dodd-Frank 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Title I Manufactured Home Loans (FR-5319-I-02)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 have made 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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>HUD Multifamily Rental Projects: Regulatory Revisions (FR-5393)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend certain Federal Housing Administration (FHA) regulations to update these regulations to reflect current HUD policy in the area of multifamily rental projects.   On January 21, 2010, HUD issued for public comment a comprehensive set of closing documents for use in FHA multifamily rental projects.  As noted in the January 21, 2010, notice, the issuance of revised multifamily rental project closing documents for public comments is HUD's effort to restart the update of these documents that first commenced in 2004, but was not completed.  In 2004, HUD also issued a companion proposed rule that identified outdated language and policies that not only needed to be changed in closing documents but also in HUD's regulations.  Consistent with the restart of the updating of multifamily rental project closing documents, HUD is once again issuing a corresponding proposed rule to remove outdated regulatory language and policies.  Neither the closing documents issued for comment on January 21, 2010, nor this proposed rule include changes to regulations affecting health care forms for nursing homes, intermediate care facilities, board and care homes, and assisted living facilities.   HUD will propose changes to those documents separately.
 
Through update of the multifamily rental project closing documents and the update of certain regulations as provided in this proposed rule, HUD strives to have its documents and regulations reflect current terminology, lending laws, and practices with respect to multifamily projects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Appraiser Roster:  Appraiser Qualification for Placement on the FHA Appraisers Roster (FR-5458)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule updates HUD's regulations to conform to the statutory requirement that appraisers must be certified, rather than licensed, by a state appraisal licensing board in order to appear on the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Appraiser Roster.  This requirement was established by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.  Although current HUD practice is in compliance with the statutory mandate, the regulations reflect outdated prior policy of permitting state-licensed appraisers to be listed on the FHA Appraiser Roster.  In addition, HUD has taken this opportunity to update the FHA Appraiser Roster by replacing the obsolete references to the Credit Alert Interactive Voice Response System with references to the online-based Credit Alert Verification Reporting System.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <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>Strenghtening the Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM)Program (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.  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 the years to come for senior homeowners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 mortgage credit to American farmers, ranchers, producers or harvesters of aquatic products, their cooperatives, and farm-related businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supportive Housing for the Elderly and Persons With Disabilities (FR-5167)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend HUD's regulations governing capital advances for the following two programs: Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly and section 811 Supportive Housing for People With Disabilities.  This proposed rule will provide the mixed finance regulations with more flexibility in order to attract private capital and expertise to the construction of supportive housing for the elderly and disabled.  The proposed regulatory changes will streamline the use of low income tax credits as well as funding from other sources.  These proposed amendments will permit the mixed finance program to expedite the development of needed affordable housing projects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>SAFE Mortgage Licensing Act: Minimum Licensing Standards and Oversight Responsibilities (FR-5271-F-03)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule sets forth the minimum standards for the state licensing and registration of residential mortgage loan originators, requirements for operating the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLSR), and HUD's federal oversight responsibilities pursuant to the Secure and Fair Enforcement Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act or Act), to ensure proper monitoring and enforcement of states' compliance with statutory requirements.  This 2008 law directs states to adopt loan originator licensing and registration requirements that meet the minimum standards specified in the SAFE Act.  The 2008 law also encourages the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) and the American Association of Residential Mortgage Regulators (AARMR) to establish a nationwide mortgage licensing system and registry (NMLSR) for the residential mortgage industry for the purpose of providing uniform state-licensing application and reporting processes for loan originators, and a comprehensive database to track loan originators licensed by the states and loan originators that work for certain federally regulated financial institutions or their subsidiaries.  

In addition to codifying the minimum licensing standards and HUD's oversight responsibilities under the SAFE Act, this rule also clarifies or interprets certain statutory provisions that pertain to the scope of the SAFE Act's licensing requirements, and other requirements that pertain to the implementation, oversight, and enforcement responsibilities of the states.  This final rule makes certain changes to the regulations presented in HUD's December 2009 proposed rule in response to public comments submitted on the proposed rule, and further consideration of issues by HUD.  

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, recently enacted into law, provides for HUD's responsibilities under the SAFE Act to transfer to the new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau).  The transfer is scheduled to take place on July 21, 2011.  However, until the transfer occurs, HUD retains responsibility for oversight and enforcement of states' and the NMLSR's compliance with the SAFE Act's requirements.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule clarifies the timing for determination of eligibility for restructuring under MAHRA (Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act).  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Housing Administration (FHA): Refinancing an Existing Cooperative Under Section 207 Pursuant to Section 223(f) of the National Housing Act (FR-5395) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD rule would revise 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.  As mortgage lenders strive to increase capital reserves and tighten underwriting standards, the availability of financing for multifamily housing has been reduced.  FHA mortgage insurance could significantly improve the availability of funds and permit more favorable interest rates than would otherwise be likely.  Accordingly, this final rule would revise HUD's regulations to enable existing multifamily cooperative project owners to obtain FHA insurance for the refinancing of existing indebtedness.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Homeowners&apos; Loan Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule reinstates, with certain modifications, regulations that HUD published in 1975 to serve as the framework by which emergency relief may be provided to homeowners experiencing temporary involuntary loss of employment or underemployment resulting in a substantial reduction in income due to adverse economic conditions and consequently are financially unable to make full mortgage payments.  These regulations were promulgated following enactment of the Emergency Homeowners' Relief Act of 1975.  Although the 1975 regulations were quickly put in place, they were not utilized, and HUD eventually removed the regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations in 1995.  The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act reauthorized the 1975 statute, with certain amendments, and made $1 billion available for this 1975 program commencing Fiscal Year 2011.  Accordingly, HUD is reinstating the regulations for the program, under the title of the Emergency Homeowners' Loan program, with such modifications as necessary to mirror the statutory changes to the Emergency Homeowners' Relief Act of 1975 made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, including adding medical conditions as a cause of the homeowner's unemployment or underemployment, reflect transactions that occur and terminology that is used in the mortgage market of today, and make such other changes to achieve the statutory direction to make funding immediately available for emergency mortgage assistance]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FHA Insurance for Manufactured Housing (FR-5075)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend HUD's regulations governing manufactured homes that are to be the security for a 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 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will amend the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards by adopting recommendations made to HUD by the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC). 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>Manufactured Housing Revision of Notification, Correction, and Procedural Regulations in Subpart I (FR-5238)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD is revising 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 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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA); Strengthening and Clarifying RESPA&apos;s &quot;Required Use&quot; Prohibition (FR-5352)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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>

</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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 establishes a Housing Trust Fund to be administered by HUD.  The purpose of the Housing Trust Fund is to provide grants to States to increase and preserve the supply of rental housing for extremely low- and very low-income families, including homeless families, and to increase homeownership for extremely low- and very low-income families.  On December 4, 2009, HUD published a separate proposed rule to establish the allocation formula for the distribution of Housing Trust Fund grants to states.  This proposed rule submits, for public comment, the program regulations that will govern the Housing Trust Fund.  HUD intends to issue a single final rule for both proposed rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule continues HUD's implementation of the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act), enacted into law on May 20, 2009.  The HEARTH Act consolidates three of the separate homeless assistance programs administered by HUD under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act into a single grant program, revises the Emergency Shelter Grants program and renames it the Emergency Solutions Grants program, and creates the Rural Housing Stability program to replace the Rural Homelessness Grant program.  The HEARTH Act also codifies in law the Continuum of Care planning process, long a part of HUD's application process to assist homeless persons by providing greater coordination in responding to their needs.  This proposed rule would establish the regulations to implement the new Emergency Solutions Grants program. The new Emergency Solutions Grants program will replace the Emergency Shelter Grants program.  While emergency shelter remains an important component of the Emergency Solutions Grants program, this new program places a greater focus on homeless prevention and rapid re-housing of the homeless.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would provide the regulatory framework to implement the new Continuum of Care program, established by the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act), enacted into law on May 20, 2009.  The HEARTH Act consolidates the three existing competitive homeless assistance programs administered by HUD under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act into a single grant program, the Continuum of Care program, and  revises the Emergency Shelter Grants program and renames it the Emergency Solutions Grants program, and creates the Rural Housing Stability program to replace the Rural Homelessness Grant program.  The HEARTH Act also codifies in law the Continuum of Care planning process, long a part of HUD's application process to assist homeless persons by providing greater coordination in responding to their needs.  This proposed rule focuses on regulatory implementation of the Continuum of Care program, including the Continuum of Care planning process.

        <RULE_TITLE>Housing Trust Fund Program (FR-5246)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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, to provide grants to states for use to increase and preserve the supply of rental housing for extremely low- and very low-income families, including homeless families; and to 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. HUD published the second proposed rule to establish the program regulations that will govern the Housing Trust Fund on October 29, 2010. Consistent with HUD's prior agenda descriptions regarding this rulemaking, HUD will issue a single final rule for both of these 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 several 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 other rules will establish the regulatory framework to implement the Continuum of Care and Rural Stability Program, the Emergency Solution Grant Program, and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). These rules will be combined at the final rule stage.]]></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>

        <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>Physical Needs Assessment (FR-5361)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to revise HUD's existing regulations governing a physical needs assessment (PNA) undertaken by a public housing agency (PHA).  A PNA identifies all of the work that a PHA would need to undertake to bring each of its projects up to the applicable modernization and energy conservation standards.  This rule would require PHAs to project the current modernization and life-cycle replacement repair needs of its projects over a 20-year period, rather than a 5-year period, because the 20-year period coincides better with the useful life of individual properties and their building components and systems to ensure the long-term viability of the property.  Additionally, this rule proposes to integrate the performance of the PNA with the performance of an energy audit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Demolition and/or Disposition of Public Housing Program (FR-5399)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule revises the HUD regulation governing the demolition and/or disposition of public housing projects (dwelling units, non-dwelling structures, and vacant land). This rule governs the process and requirements that public housing agencies (PHAs)and private owners of public housing developed pursuant to mixed-finance rules must follow should they choose to voluntarily request HUD approval to demolish or dispose of public housing project (other than demolitions through the HOPE VI program). 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; acceptable justifications for demolition and/or disposition; methods of disposition; use of proceeds; and future use restrictions on former public housing property. The proposed rule also adds a new subpart that provides an exception to the normal process by which PHAs (and private owners of public housing developed pursuant to mixed-finance rules) request releases from HUD of public housing restrictions (DOT/ACC) on property, thus permitting these entities to retain former public housing property free of federal public housing restrictions.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would require use of certified weed-seed-free hay, straw, or mulch when feeding domestic animals on public lands and when reclaiming or stabilizing the public lands.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reclamation Rural Water Supply Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will protect the integrity and impartiality of BOEMRE employees given their unique duties in leasing, regulation, and enforcement of safety and environmental protections in offshore energy production.  The rule would require employees to report inappropriate interference with the performance of official duties.  The rule will bar BOEMRE employees from taking official action when their impartiality may be questioned due to personal and business relationships and creates a new requirement to request recusal in those instances.  This rule will establish "covered relationships" for BOEMRE employees and extends the "cooling off" period from one year to two years.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <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[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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this notice, the Service proposes to establish a policy to guide Service employees to increase efficiency and effectiveness in achieving the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System through partnerships with Friends (Refuge volunteer/advocate) organizations. The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act, as amended, provides the Refuge System mission. We cannot fulfill this mission unless we provide consistent direction to refuge managers and manage the Refuge System as a national system. This draft policy provides guidance for Service employees who work with Friends' organizations to increase community involvement on Refuge System lands. It includes guidance regarding financial and administrative practices, Friends Partnership Agreements, and revenue-generating operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interim Policy on Interpretation of the Phrase &quot;Significant Portion of its Range&quot; in the ESA&apos;s Definitions of &quot;Endangered Species&quot; and &quot;Threatened Species&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are developing a proposed interim policy that will interpret the phrase "significant portion of its range" in the Endangered Species Act's definitions of "threatened species" and "endangered species." The phrase is ambiguous and is not defined in the Act, and its interpretation and application have been subject to litigation. The USFWS's current interpretation has been rejected by the court.  We therefore need to propose an alternative interpretation and seek public review and comment.  Because we must continue to make listing determinations in the meantime, we also intend to notify the public that we will apply the proposed policy as our interim policy until a final policy is adopted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Special Rule for the Mojave Population of the Desert Tortoise</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1990, we listed the Mojave population of the desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) as a threatened species under the ESA. We plan to propose to issue special regulations for the Mojave population of the desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) If finalized, the proposed special regulations would provide an exemption from take provisions under the ESA for certain activities related to renewable energy projects on private lands. The regulations would also provide a mechanism to streamline the approval of renewable energy projects that would not result in substantial adverse effects to the desert tortoise on non-Federal lands.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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

        <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>

Although these are FWS regulations, the permits are administered by the USGS Bird Banding Laboratory in Laurel, MD; therefore, FWS and USGS are developing the regulatory revisions cooperatively.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reclassification of the California Least Tern From Endangered To Threatened</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

The BIG Program provides funds for States to construct, renovate, and maintain eligible facilities with features for transient boaters in vessels at least 26 feet long, and also provides funds for States to produce and distribute information and educational materials about the program.

        <RULE_TITLE>Captive-Bred Wildlife Prohibitions; Generic Tigers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a final determination on whether 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Injurious Wildlife Evaluation; Amphibian Trade and Chytrid Fungus</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We received 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 (amphibian 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. We are reviewing the comments received during the public comment period to determine whether to issue a proposed rule to list live amphibians or their eggs infected with chytrid fungus. Such a listing would prohibit their 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. A listing would not affect live amphibians that were not being imported or transported across state lines or ones being imported or transported that are accompanied by a health certificate verifying that they are free of chytrid fungus.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Critical Habitat Designation for Nine Bexar County, TX, Invertebrates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We proposed to revise existing critical habitat designation for seven Bexar County, TX, invertebrates: Rhadine exilis (ground beetle, no common name), Rhadine infernalis (ground beetle, no common name), Helotes mold beetle (Batrisodes venyivi), Cokendolpher Cave harvestman (Texella cokendolpheri), Robber Baron Cave meshweaver (Cicurina baronia), Madla Cave meshweaver (Cicurina madla), and Braken Bat Cave meshweaver (Cicurina venii) under the ESA. We also propose to designate critical habitat for the Government Canyon Bat Cave meshweaver (Cicurina vespera) and Government Canyon Bat Cave spider (Neoleptoneta microps). In total, we are proposing approximately 6,906 acres (ac) (2,795 hectares (ha)) as critical habitat for these invertebrates. The proposed critical habitat is located in Bexar County, Texas.]]></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>

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 ESA 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>

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 taxpayers' 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 that clarify which areas are covered by a designation. These tools will be available on the Internet and at the applicable FWS or NMFS Office.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Permits; Take of Golden Eagles in Depredation Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to revise the regulations for permits to deal with depredating golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos). The revisions would address problems with permitting take of golden eagles in depredation areas. The current regulations require USDA APHIS Wildlife Services (WS) to get a permit; however, WS should not be required to get a depredation permit if it is not carrying out the depredation control. The change would require the landowner or State Governor to hold a depredation permit on behalf of multiple landowners. The changes will make treatment of eagle depredation consistent with other WS migratory bird-related activities. We will also correct the regulations to reflect that Animal Damage Control is no longer part of FWS, but is now under WS in USDA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Management; Revising the List of Migratory Bird Species Protected Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to revise the list of migratory bird species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Reasons for the changes include adding species based on new evidence of occurrence in the United States or its territories, removing species no longer known to occur within the United States, and changing names based on new taxonomy. Under the MBTA, we regulate most aspects of the taking, possession, transport, sale, purchase, barter, export, and import of migratory birds. An accurate and up-to-date list of species protected by the MBTA is essential for regulatory purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Marine Mammals; Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Termination of the Southern Sea Otter Translocation Program and Withdrawal of Experimental Population Status </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As a result of Public Law 99-625 (November 7, 1986), we published regulations outlining the Southern Sea Otter Translocation Program to establish an experimental population of southern sea otters off the coast of Southern California. The program's purpose is to provide a hedge against a catastrophic event, such as a major oil spill, that would affect the only existing population. The regulations also included criteria for determining whether the translocation program was a failure, in which case it could be abandoned. After 23 years of trying to establish a viable additional population of southern sea otters, a fundamental change in recovery strategy, and acquisition of additional information from experiences such as the 2010 Gulf oil spill, we are evaluating the translocation program to consider whether it should be terminated and the experimental population status withdrawn, with different management options implemented.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alaska National Wildlife Refuges; Other Refuge Uses--Recreational Activities and Refuge-Specific Regulations, Alaska Maritime and Kenai National Wildlife Refuges</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend and update refuge-specific regulations for management of national wildlife refuges in the State of Alaska. We would add a new regional regulation allowing recreational collection of edible berries and plants and naturally shed antlers. For Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, we would update the regulations to remove the requirement for the public to obtain a special-use permit issued jointly by the Service and the U.S. Navy to visit Amchita Island, because the island is no longer withdrawn for U.S. Navy management and use. We also will propose a number of revisions to the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge public-use regulations, to put the existing regulations into plain English and to implement decisions made in the recently completed Kenai National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reclassifying the Western Great Lakes Wolves</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to propose delisting the Western Great Lakes wolves. Wolves have exceeded the numerical recovery criteria in the Midwest since 1999, and the Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan departments of natural resources (DNRs) have had completed and adequate wolf management plans in place since 2001. Reasonably foreseeable post-delisting threats will be addressed by the State plans, and also will be monitored by the Service in accordance with its own post-delisting monitoring plan for 5 years following delisting. This current proposal includes new information (since the 2007 final rule was published) regarding the status of wolves, and addresses the judge's concern regarding the Service's authority to simultaneously identify and delist a distinct population segment (DPS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Injurious Wildlife; Making Injurious Wildlife Determinations Under the Lacey Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The injurious wildlife provisions of the Lacey Act help us prevent and manage introductions of invasive species. We add species to the list of injurious wildlife to prevent their introduction into or establishment within the United States.  Species listed as injurious (including their gametes and viable eggs) must not be imported into the United States or transported between the continental United States, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any territory or possession of the United States by any means without a permit issued by the Service. We propose to revise our regulations for listing species as injurious in order to enhance the species screening process and enable more efficient and effective decisions that will help prevent the introduction and spread of injurious wildlife. As under current authorization, only nondomesticated species will continue to be evaluated for listing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing and Critical Habitat Designation for the Umtanum Desert Buckwheat and White Bluffs Bladderpod</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will propose to list as endangered or threatened and designate critical habitat for the Umtanum Desert buckwheat (Eriogonum codium) and White Bluffs bladderpod (Physaria douglasii ssp. tuplashensis) under the Endangered Species Act.  The Umtanum Desert buckwheat is endemic to a very narrow range in Benton County in south central Washington. The only known population of this species occurs along one ridgeline, on flat to gently sloping microsites, near the top of the steep, north-facing basalt cliffs overlooking the Columbia River. The White Bluffs bladderpod is a narrow endemic species found only in a very small area in Franklin County, Washington, adjacent to the Columbia River. The species is restricted to dry, barren, nearly vertical exposures of calcium carbonate paleosol (caliche soil).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Establishment of a Nonessential Experimental Population of American Burying Beetle in Southwest Missouri</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act, we propose to establish a nonessential experimental population of the American burying beetle, an endangered species, in Missouri. This rule would aid in reintroducing the species into the Wah'kon-tah Prairie in southwest Missouri. The 3,000-acre Wah'kon-tah Prairie is in the center of the four counties (Cedar, St. Clair, Bates, and Vernon) that would be the boundaries of the nonessential experimental population area.]]></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 presented substantial scientific and commercial information indicating that reclassification, as petitioned, may be warranted under the Act. Concurrent with the 12-month petition finding, we published a proposed rule to reclassify the wood bison from endangered to threatened. We will consider public comments before publishing a final rule.]]></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 making 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 spectaclecase populations exist in the Meramec and Gasconade Rivers in Missouri, in the St. Croix River bordering Minnesota and Wisconsin, and in the Upper Clinch River in Tennessee.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination for Dunes Sagebrush Lizard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We have proposed listing the Dunes sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus arenicolus) as endangered under the ESA throughout its range in eastern New Mexico and western Texas, and will make a final listing determination. 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 these 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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will 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; 1018-AV99). These grant programs provide financial assistance to State fish and wildlife agencies 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 will list 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). The listing includes 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 under State law, and to determine whether further measures under CITES or other laws are required to conserve this species and its subspecies.]]></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>Migratory Bird Permits; Revising Captive-Reared Waterfowl Sale and Disposal Regulations for Muscovy Duck</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 will finalize our proposal 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 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 developing voluntary guidelines intended to assist the wind energy industry in avoiding or minimizing impacts to wildlife and their habitats related to land-based wind energy facilities. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our humane and healthful transport regulations for marine mammals to require sling flipper slits for cetaceans only, as this requirement is not appropriate for non-cetaceans such as manatees. This change brings U.S. regulations in line with those specified in the International Air Transport Association Live Animal Regulations, the industry standard for animal transportation, and it will correct an inaccuracy in the current regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska-Subpart B, Federal Subsistence Board</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would revise the regulations concerning the composition of the Federal Subsistence Board. On October 23, 2009, the Secretary of the Interior announced the initiation of a Departmental review of the Federal Subsistence Management Program in Alaska. The review focused on how the program is meeting the purposes and subsistence provisions of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980, and how the program is serving rural subsistence users. The review proposed several administrative and regulatory changes to strengthen the program and make it more responsive to rural users. One proposed change called for adding two public members representing rural Alaskan subsistence users to the existing Board--this would afford additional regional representation and increase stakeholder input in the decision-making process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will correct the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to reflect that the West Virginia northern flying squirrel is again listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Following litigation, the final rule delisting the species was vacated by court order, thereby immediately reinstating ESA protections for this species. As a result, this rulemaking is a nondiscretionary administrative action to revise the CFR to be in compliance with the court order.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <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.

        <RULE_TITLE>Injurious Wildlife Evaluation; Bighead Carp</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are adding the bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), a large fish native to eastern Asia, to the list of injurious fish, mollusks, and crustaceans under the Lacey Act. We are listing the bighead carp pursuant to Public Law 111-307, signed by President Obama into law on December 14, 2010, which adds the bighead carp to the list of injurious species that are prohibited from being imported or shipped. Our final rule codifies the Public Law into the Code of Federal Regulations. Because the statute is already in effect, a proposed rule would serve no purpose; therefore, we are proceeding directly to a final rule.]]></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. Based on our July 10, 2008, rule, we reassessed and revised critical habitat for the species. Our analysis included an assessment of all known and potential habitat within Colorado, where the species has remained listed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a final rule (67 FR 3120) we published in the Federal Register on January 23, 2002, we determined that Carex lutea (golden sedge) was endangered under the Endangered Species Act. In that rule we found that the designation of critical habitat was prudent but deferred due to budgetary constraints. Per a pending settlement agreement, we will designate critical habitat by February 28, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

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; Establishing Nonessential Experimental Population of Whooping Cranes in Southwestern Louisiana </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We amended the 50 CFR 17.11 entry for whooping crane (Grus americana) to designate a nonessential experimental population in Louisiana. We are reintroducing 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 designate this reintroduced nonmigratory population as a nonessential experimental population (NEP) according to section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act. The area with 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>

With this final action, we updated the list of compliant States, corrected and clarified several small errors in the regulations, and moved one section to make the regulations more consistent.]]></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[The NPS 2009 interim rule allows for managed snowmobile and snowcoach use, with restrictions on their use and numbers, through the 2010-2011 winter season. In the absence of a new rule, oversnow vehicles would not be allowed in Yellowstone beginning in the 2011-2012 season. We are preparing a new long-term winter use plan and environmental impact statement (EIS) that should be released in March 2011. This proposed rule will contain the preferred alternative in the draft EIS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Glen Canyon National Recreation Area--Off-Road Vehicle Use</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Our 2009 interim rule allows for managed snowmobile and snowcoach use through the 2010-2011 winter season. We are preparing a new long-term winter-use plan and environmental impact statement (EIS). This proposed rule will contain the preferred alternative in the draft EIS. Without a new rule, oversnow vehicles would not be allowed in Yellowstone beginning in the 2011-2012 season.]]></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>

        <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.  This rule would establish an administrative process for filing these claims.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consolidation of Regulations Governing Administrative Forfeiture for Department of Justice Law Enforcement Agencies; Application of Department Regulations To Seizures for Forfeiture by ATF</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[By this rule, the Department does seven things:

First, the rule modifies the regulations to recognize that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is now part of the Department of Justice.  On November 25, 2002, the President signed into law the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law No. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (2002).  Section 1111 of the Act established in the Department of Justice the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives," and generally transferred law enforcement functions, and seizure and forfeiture authority, of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms of the Department of the Treasury to the Department of Justice.  This transfer became effective on January 24, 2003. 

Second, the Department consolidates the regulations governing the seizure and administrative forfeiture of property by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in order to achieve greater consistency and promote overall fairness in the administrative forfeiture process by avoiding unnecessary differences in component procedures.  Among other things, the Department provides rules governing practical issues regarding the seizure, custody, inventory, appraisal, settlement, and release of property subject to forfeiture.

Third, the Department conforms the DEA, ATF, FBI, and Justice seizure and forfeiture regulations to address procedural changes necessitated by the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 (CAFRA), Public Law 106-185, other authorities and current forfeiture practice.  Where CAFRA is silent or ambiguous on a subject relating to administrative forfeiture procedure, the proposed rule interprets CAFRA and fills certain gaps.  CAFRA's procedural changes enhance the ability of property owners to contest the forfeiture of seized property. CAFRA also makes other changes beneficial to property owners.  In particular:  The requirement to file a bond for costs with a claim is eliminated;  the time for filing a claim is extended;  and the release of seized property is required under various circumstances.

Fourth, the Department adds a regulation allowing for the pre-forfeiture disposition of seized property where the property is liable to perish, waste, or be greatly reduced in value by further retention, or where the expense of holding the property is disproportionate to its value.  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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of Agencies To Receive and Investigate Reports Required Under the Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 1998, Congress passed the Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act of 1998 (PCSPA). The PCSPA requires providers of an electronic communication service or a remote computing service to the public, through a facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, to report incidents of child pornography as defined by sections 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, or 2260 of title 18, United States Code, to the appropriate Federal agency. In order to facilitate effective reporting, the PCSPA requires the Attorney General to "designate an agency" to receive and investigate such reports of child pornography. The proposed rule previously published set forth the Attorney General's proposed designations and certain other matters covered by the PCSPA's reporting requirements.

On November 29, 1999, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2000, Public Law 106-113, 113 Stat. 1501, Congress amended 42 U.S.C. 13032 to require providers to report such incidents to the Cyber Tipline at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which shall forward that report to a law enforcement agency or agencies designated by the Attorney General. As amended by the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003, Public Law No. 108-21, the PCSPA also requires providers to report incidents of child pornography involving violations of section 2252B of title 18, United States Code, and incidents of violations of section 1466A, title 18, United States Code, and permits NCMEC to forward reports to State and local law enforcement agencies where appropriate.  On November 4, 2003, an interim final rule was published designating four Federal law enforcement agencies that will receive reports pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 13032.  These include the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the U.S. Secret Service.

In a related matter, RIN 1105-AB06, "Reporting Under the Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act, as Amended," the Department is preparing a notice of proposed rulemaking to provide guidance to those law enforcement agencies and to the providers making the reports.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Changes to NICS Intended To Promote Public Safety, To Enhance the Efficiency of NICS Operations, and To Resolve Difficulties Created by Unforeseen Processing Conflicts Within the System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice proposes four amendments to title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 25.  These proposed changes are intended to promote public safety, to enhance the efficiency of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) operations, and to resolve difficulties created by unforeseen processing conflicts within the system.  The proposed amendments are for the following purposes:  (1) to add tribal criminal justice agencies to those entities authorized to receive information in connection with the issuance of a firearm-related permit or license; (2) to authorize access to the FBI-maintained NICS Index to permit background checks for the purpose of disposing of firearms in the possession of a law enforcement or criminal justice agency, such as returning a firearm to a family member in cases of suicide; (3) to authorize access to the FBI-maintained NICS Index to permit the NICS to respond to inquiries from the United States Attorney General, or designee, in connection with identifying whether named individuals are restricted persons pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 262a (Enhanced Control of Dangerous Biological Agents and Toxins) and 18 U.S.C. 175b (Biological Weapons  Select Agents); and (4) to permit the NICS to retain in a separate database its Audit Log records relating to denied transactions for the full record retention period approved by the National Archives and Records Administration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification Regarding the Production of FBI Criminal Identification Records</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule will amend the FBI's regulations concerning procedures an individual may use to obtain his or her criminal identification records and clarify that criminal identification records may be provided only to the subject making the request, the subject's attorney, or the subject's personal representative.  In addition, this rule will provide authority to accept alternative proofs of identity necessary to accompany such requests and allow the FBI to authorize additional methods of submitting requests and additional methods of payment.  Finally, this rule will clarify that the term "identification record" means a "criminal identification record" and not other identification records that may be maintained by the FBI.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.

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

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Fees for Participation in Dedicated Commuter Lanes at Selected Ports of Entry; Collection of Fees Under the Dedicated Commuter Lane Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These rules provide for the collection of a fee at the time of application for participation in a Dedicated Commuter Lane (DCL), instead of at the time of approval of the application. The DCL program is a pilot project established at selected land border ports of entry to expedite the transborder movement of eligible, pre-screened, low-risk groups through designated traffic lanes. The first interim rule clarifies the requirements for the use of the DCL (INS No. 1675). The second interim rule will set forth the fee required of participants in order to cover the technological costs (INS No. 1794).

INS No. 2058-00 will propose to remove restrictions currently in place that limit the locations where the INS can establish commuter lanes.  In addition, the proposed rule will incorporate other projects designed to enhance border security and effective traffic management at port of entry.  Finally, the rule may adjust the fee structure in order to administer these projects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Carrier Arrival and Departure Electronic Manifest Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[There are four  principal laws that require the Attorney General to develop an automated and integrated entry/exit data system for aliens: 

1. The Immigration and Naturalization Service Data Management Improvement Act (DMIA), Public Law 106-21;
2. The Visa Waiver Permanent Program Act (VWPPA), Public Law 106-396;
3. The USA PATRIOT Act, Public Law 107-56; and
4. The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act (Border Security Act), Public Law 107-173.

Implementation of the relevant provisions in these four laws together will result in the Entry/Exit System.  One of the basic legislative mandates is that the system integrate the available alien arrival and departure data that exist in any Department of Justice (DOJ) or Department of State (DOS) data base or system.  This necessarily must include the systems that incorporate carrier manifest data on passengers and crew members who are entering or leaving the U.S. via air or sea.  Section 231 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and 8 CFR part 231 state the requirements for carrier manifests.

In section 402 of the Border Security Act, Congress amended the manifest requirements in INA, section 231.  The Border Security Act requires the submission of arrival and departure manifests electronically in advance of a commercial aircraft or vessel's arrival in or departure from the United States not later than January 1, 2003.  Promulgation of regulations to implement this law will provide the Service with advance notification of information necessary for the identification of passengers and crewmembers on commercial carriers.  The contents of the electronic arrival and departure manifest include: (1) complete name; (2) date of birth; (3) citizenship; (4) sex; (5) passport number and country of issuance; (6) country of residence; (7) United States visa number, date, and place of issuance, where applicable; (8) alien registration; (9) United States address while in the United States; and (10) such other information the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Treasury determines as being necessary for the identification of the persons transported and for the enforcement of the immigration laws and to protect safety and national security.

In October 2000, Congress also amended section 217 of the INA to make the Visa Waiver Pilot a permanent program.  The VWPPA also added a specific requirement for a "fully automated entry and exit control system" covering all aliens who enter the United States under the VWP at airports and seaports.  The requirements for this system are both narrower and broader, in different respects, than the DMIA automated system requirements.  The VWP entry/exit system will be incorporated into the broader Entry/Exit System mandated by DMIA.  In addition, the VWPPA states that no alien arriving by air or sea may be granted a visa waiver under INA, section 217, on or after October 1, 2002, unless the carrier is submitting passenger information electronically to the VWP entry/exit system, as required by the Attorney General.  The Service is separately promulgating regulations to amend 8 CFR part 217 to implement the electronic manifest requirements for VWP purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration Requirements for Individual Practitioners Operating in a &quot;Locum Tenens&quot; 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>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>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>Self-Certification and Employee Training of Mail-Order Distributors of Scheduled Listed Chemical Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 12, 2010, the President signed the Combat Methamphetamine Enhancement Act of 2010 (MEA).  It establishes new requirements for mail-order distributors of scheduled listed chemical products.  Mail-order distributors must now self-certify to DEA in order to sell scheduled listed chemical products at retail.  Sales at retail are those sales intended for personal use; mail-order distributors that sell scheduled listed chemical products not intended for personal use, e.g., sale to a university, are not affected by the new law.  This self-certification must include a statement that the mail-order distributor understands each of the requirements that apply under part 1314 and agrees to comply with these requirements.  Additionally, mail-order distributors are now required to train their employees prior to self certification.  DEA is promulgating this rule to incorporate the statutory provisions and make its regulations consistent with the new requirements and other existing regulations related to self-certification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.

        <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>

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

Expenses that must be covered are lost wages, medical and mental health costs, and funeral and burial costs.  States, at their discretion, may cover loss of support, crime scene cleanup, and other such expenses.

VOCA funds are obtained from the Crime Victims Fund in the U.S. Treasury, which consists of fines, fees, and bond forfeitures from Federal offenders.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Victim Assistance Program Regulations provide the parameters under which State agencies may use these funds to award grants to Government and nonprofit organizations to provide direct services to crime victims.  Local programs include child abuse, homicide survivor, drunk driving, sexual assault, and domestic violence.  More than three million crime victims are served through these grants.

Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds are obtained from the Crime Victims Fund in the U.S. Treasury, which consists of fines, fees, and bond forfeitures from Federal offenders.

Costs to States are limited, as the VOCA grant provides for administrative costs for these programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule plans to amend the Department of Justice'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.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Forwarding of Asylum Applications to the Department of State</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is planning to amend 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 proposed 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 the Executive Office for Immigration Review's (EOIR) electronic Government initiatives, which when fully implemented, will enable electronic case access and filing for individuals in immigration proceedings before EOIR.  In essence, the rule amends the current definitions of "attorney" and "representative," the classes of individuals authorized to represent aliens, to include only those persons who have registered with EOIR.    

Additionally, the rule delegates authority to the Director to require such a registration, and to establish procedures for registration.  In concert with that authority, the rule permits the Director to administratively suspend from practice before EOIR any practitioner who fails to comply with registration procedures and requirements.

Functionally, practitioners will be required to register with EOIR over a secure Internet connection, by providing name, address(es), date of birth, last four digits of social security number, and bar admission data.  Registered practitioners will be assigned a unique User ID and password that will authorize them to conduct electronic transactions with EOIR from desktop personal computers.  

Registration of practitioners assures the functionality, security, and success of EOIR's electronic Government initiative, and serves as a prerequisite to electronic case access and filing by practitioners.
 
The proposed practitioner registration rule furnishes the Attorney General with the optimum measure of adaptability to establish the criteria and procedures for practitioner registration, while also preserving fairness for regulated parties and ensuring efficiency in Government operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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 (Board). 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, 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[This rule amends the Department of Justice's (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>Transfer of Jurisdiction Over Appeals of Fines From the Board of Immigration Appeals to the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule removes the Board of Immigration Appeals' (Board) jurisdiction over appeals of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) decisions involving administrative fines under part 1280 of title 8 CFR and transfers that authority to Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO). Part 1280 governs the imposition and collection of fines under a variety of provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), most of which pertain to common carriers. Most of the appeals are fines imposed under section 273 of the INA. The transfer is essentially a reallocation of agency resources within the Executive Office for Immigration Review to improve caseload management by substituting a different set of decision makers, the OCAHO for the Board, while preserving the same procedures for the adjudication of appeals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises the procedures before immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) to clarify and improve the administrative adjudication of immigration proceedings.  The rule is intended to improve fairness to aliens and to the Government, represented by the Department of Homeland Security, in removal, exclusion, deportation, asylum-only, and other proceedings; reduce delays in the adjudicative process; enable EOIR to better manage its caseload; reduce the existing backlog of cases; and provide for better focus on cases presenting significant issues of law and fact for resolution.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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 certain 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) amended definitions of certain terms, including an amended definition of "antique firearm", to include certain muzzle loading firearms.  In addition, the Gun Control Act of 1968 establishes categories of individuals who are prohibited from possessing a firearm.   A provision of Public Law 105-277 added aliens in a nonimmigrant classification as an additional prohibited category.  In the same Act, the Attorney General was authorized to grant a waiver for individuals disqualified by the new prohibited category.  The waiver petition will be granted, inter alia, upon an applicant showing proof of 180 days of residency and a statement of character from the applicant's embassy or consulate and upon a determination by the Attorney General that the waiver should be granted in the interests of justice so as not to jeopardize public safety. Item 1 of this rulemaking proceeding is related to the implementation of the Child Safety Lock Act of 2005 (CSLA), RIN 1140-AA26.  While Public Law 105-277 requires applicants for dealer's licenses to certify that secure gun storage or safety devices will be available at any place where firearms are sold to nonlicensees, the CSLA makes it unlawful for any licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer to sell, deliver, or transfer any handgun to any person, other than another licensee, unless the transferee (buyer) is provided with a secure gun storage or safety device for that handgun.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 contains amendments to the Gun Control Act of 1968 (18 U.S.C. chapter 44). These amendments add to the category of "prohibited persons" anyone convicted of a "misdemeanor crime of domestic violence." The amendments require individuals acquiring handguns from Federal firearms licensees to certify (in accordance with the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act) that they have not been convicted of such a crime. The amendments also provide for sales between Federal firearms licensees of curio and relic firearms away from their licensed premises.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) by eliminating the Firearms Transaction Record, ATF Form 4473 (Low Volume (LV)), parts I and II.  These forms may be used by federally licensed firearms dealers as an alternate record for the receipt and disposition of firearms.  Because licensees rarely use Forms 4473 (LV), ATF has determined that continued use of these forms is unwarranted and they should be eliminated.]]></ABSTRACT>

While RIN 1140-AA10 requires that secure gun storage or safety devices are available at any place where dealers sell firearms to nonlicensees, this CSLA rulemaking makes it unlawful for any licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed 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.  This rulemaking proceeding is related to the implementation of a provision of Public Law 105-277, RIN 1140-AA10, which 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.]]></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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (Title II and Title III of the ADA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending its regulations implementing title II and title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 28 CFR part 35 and 28 CFR part 36, to implement changes to the ADA enacted in the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, Public Law 110-325, 122 Stat. 3553 (Sept. 25, 2008). The ADA Amendments Act took effect on January 1, 2009.
  
The ADA Amendments Act amended the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. 12101, et seq., to clarify terms within the definition of disability and to establish standards that must be applied to determine if a person has a covered disability.  These changes are intended to mitigate the effects of the Supreme Court's decisions in Sutton v. United Airlines, 527 U.S. 471 (1999), and Toyota Motor Manufacturing v. Williams, 534, U.S. 184 (2002).  Specifically, the ADA Amendments Act (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>

        <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[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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Equal Employment Opportunity in Apprenticeship 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 to 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 January 18, 2011.  On January 19, 2011, DOL issued a Final Rule with request for comment, which established the prevailing wage as 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department published the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on March 18, 2011.  The public comment period closes on May 17, 2011.  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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Department has determined that a new rulemaking effort is necessary for the H-2B program.  The policy underpinnings of the current regulation, e.g., streamlining the H-2B process to defer many determinations of program compliance until after an application has been adjudicated, do not provide an adequate level of protection for either U.S. or foreign workers.  The proposed rule seeks to enhance worker protections and increase the availability of job opportunities to qualified U.S. workers.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Department of Labor's authority to revise these regulations derives from 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(B) and 8 U.S.C. 1184(c)(1) and 8 CFR 214.2(h).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The public was afforded an opportunity to provide comments on the proposed regulatory changes when the Department published the NPRM in the Federal Register.  A final rule will be issued after analysis of, and response to, public comments.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Preliminary estimates of the anticipated costs of this regulatory action have been provided in the NPRM.  The Department of Labor is seeking information on potential additional or actual costs from employers and other interested parties through the NPRM in order to better assess the costs and benefits of the proposed provisions of the program.  The proposed changes are thought to raise "novel legal or policy issues" but are not economically significant within the context of Executive Order 12866 and are not a "major rule" under section 804 for the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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[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>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[ERISA section 521, enacted under sec. 6605 of the Affordable Care Act (Pub. 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.  Regulatory guidance will provide standards for the issuance of such orders.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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 section 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[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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lifetime Income Options for Participants and Beneficiaries in Retirement Plans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This initiative will explore what steps, if any, that the Department could or should take, by regulation or otherwise, to enhance the retirement security of American workers by facilitating access to and use of lifetime income or other arrangements designed to provide a stream of income after retirement.

The Department has established a public record as a result of the actions mentioned below (RFI and Public Hearing).  The record supports further Departmental consideration or action in a number of areas including pension benefit statements, participant education and fiduciary guidance.  While the Department is treating this RIN, 1210-AB33, as being completed for purposes of the Semiannual Regulatory Agenda, its completion is not a determination on whether further action, regulatory or otherwise, is needed to facilitate access to and use of lifetime income or other arrangements designed to provide a stream of income after retirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[With a continuing trend away from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans, employees are not only increasingly responsible for the adequacy of their retirement savings, but also for ensuring that their savings last throughout their retirement.  Employees may benefit from access to and use of lifetime income or other arrangements that will reduce the risk of running out of funds during the retirement years.  However, both access to and use of such arrangements in defined contribution plans is limited.  The Department, taking into consideration recommendations of the ERISA Advisory Council and others, intends to explore what steps, if any, it could or should take, by regulation or otherwise, to enhance the retirement security of workers by increasing access to and use of such arrangements.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <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 completed a scientific peer review of its draft risk assessment.  The 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. Evidence indicates that exposure to flavorings containing diacetyl is associated with adverse effects on the respiratory system, including bronchiolitis obliterans, a debilitating and potentially fatal lung disease. OSHA denied the petition on September 25, 2007, but has initiated 6(b) rulemaking. 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. NIOSH is currently developing a criteria document on occupational exposure to diacetyl. The criteria document will also address exposure to 2,3-pentanedione, a chemical that is structurally similar to diacetyl and has been used as a substitute for diacetyl in some applications. 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>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 hold an expert forum metting in May 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 will hold stakeholder meetings.]]></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>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reinforced Concrete in 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 indicates that 31 workers died while performing work on or near post-tensioning operations or reinforcing steel between 2000 and 2009.

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Backing vehicles and equipment are common causes of struck-by injuries and can also cause caught between injuries when backing vehicles and equipment pin a worker against something else.  NIOSH reports that 51% of worker on foot fatalities that occurred within a highway work zone involved backing vehicles.  A British report found that nearly a quarter of vehicle-related deaths at work are caused by vehicles backing up.  Emerging technologies in the field of operations include after market devices, such as cameras, radar, and ultrasonic devices, to help monitor the presence of workers on foot in blind areas, and new monitoring technology, such as tag-based warning systems, that use radio frequency (RFID) on equipment to detect electronic tags worn by workers.  The use of spotters and internal traffic control plans can also make backing operations safer.  The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is seeking comment on technological and non-technological solutions to prevent backover incidents.]]></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. ASTM International 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.]]></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>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The legal basis for the proposed rule is a preliminary determination that workers are exposed to a significant risk of silicosis and other serious disease and that rulemaking is needed to substantially reduce the risk. In addition, the proposed rule will recognize that the PELs for construction and maritime are outdated and need to be revised to reflect current sampling and analytical technologies.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Over the past several years, the Agency has attempted to address this problem through a variety of non-regulatory approaches, including initiation of a Special Emphasis Program on silica in October 1997, sponsorship with NIOSH and MSHA of the National Conference to Eliminate Silicosis, and dissemination of guidance information on its Web site.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <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 were held on January 18 through 21, 2011.]]></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) is proposing to restore a column to the OSHA 300 Log that employers must check if a case they are already required to record under OSHA's existing Recordkeeping rule (29 CFR 1904) is a "musculoskeletal disorder" (MSD).  This proposal does not change the existing requirements about when and under what circumstances employers must record work-related injuries and illnesses.  The Agency believes that having aggregate data on MSDs may help employers and workers track these injuries at individual workplaces.  MSD information will also improve the utility, accuracy and completeness of the national occupational injury and illness statistics, and may assist the Agency in its day-to-day activities and overall safety and health policy making.

This proposed rule was temporarily withdrawn from OMB on January 26, 2011, so that the Agency could gather more information from stakeholders in the small business community.  OSHA, in conjunction with the US Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy, will participate in a special stakeholder meeting to listen to the concerns of small businesses regarding the Agency's proposal.  After this meeting, OSHA will review the information in the record and take appropriate action based on the information received.]]></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, a 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Confined Spaces in Construction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1993, OSHA issued a rule to protect employees who enter confined spaces while engaged in general industry work (29 CFR 1910.146). This standard has not been extended to cover employees entering confined spaces while engaged in construction work because of unique characteristics of construction worksites.  Pursuant to discussions with the United Steel Workers of America that led to a settlement agreement regarding the general industry standard, OSHA agreed to issue a proposed rule to protect construction workers in confined spaces.]]></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, 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 September 2010.  OSHA anticipates publishing a final rule in July 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires chemical manufacturers and importers to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and material safety data sheets to convey the hazards and associated protective measures to users of the chemicals. All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces are required to have a hazard communication program, including labels on containers, material safety data sheets (MSDS), and training for employees. Within the United States (U.S.), there are other Federal agencies that also have requirements for classification and labeling of chemicals at different stages of the life cycle. Internationally, there are a number of countries that have developed similar laws that require information about chemicals to be prepared and transmitted to affected parties. These laws vary with regard to the scope of substances covered, definitions of hazards, the specificity of requirements (e.g., specification of a format for MSDSs), and the use of symbols and pictograms. The inconsistencies between the various laws are substantial enough that different labels and safety data sheets must often be used for the same product when it is marketed in different nations.

The diverse and sometimes conflicting national and international requirements can create confusion among those who seek to use hazard information. Labels and safety data sheets may include symbols and hazard statements that are unfamiliar to readers or not well understood. Containers may be labeled with such a large volume of information that important statements are not easily recognized. Development of multiple sets of labels and safety data sheets is a major compliance burden for chemical manufacturers, distributors, and transporters involved in international trade. Small businesses may have particular difficulty in coping with the complexities and costs involved.

As a result of this situation, and in recognition of the extensive international trade in chemicals, there has been a long-standing effort to harmonize these requirements and develop a system that can be used around the world. In 2003, the United Nations adopted the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Countries are now adopting the GHS into their national regulatory systems. OSHA published the NPRM on September 30, 2009 and held public hearings in Washington, DC and Pittsburgh, PA in March 2010.  The record closed on June 1, 2010.  OSHA is scheduled to publish the final rule in August 2011.]]></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 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 Railroad 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 promulgate 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>Procedures for the Handling of Retaliation Complaints Under the Employee Protection Provisions of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is amending 29 CFR 1980, for handling 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revising the Underground Construction and Demolition Standards To Make the Cranes and Derricks in Construction Rule Applicable to Those Activities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This direct final rule will clarify and simplify OSHA's standards applicable to cranes and derricks in construction by establishing a single set of standards for all construction activities involving cranes and derricks.  On August 9, 2010, OSHA issued a Final Rule for Cranes and Derricks in Construction (75 FR 47096), that was originally intended to apply to all crane and derrick use in construction.  Rulemaking findings, including the economic analysis, were developed to address all construction work.  However, two subsectors of construction work, demolition and underground construction, were exempted from coverage under the new standard, in an effort to ensure that employers involved in those types of work were given sufficient notice to comply with the new rule.  These subsectors currently remain covered under the previous rule governing crane and derrick use in construction.

This direct final rule will, therefore, apply the new cranes and derricks rule to both demolition and underground construction work, bringing those subsectors current with the rest of the construction industry.  It should be noted that a proposed rule accompanies this direct final rule.  Should OSHA receive significant adverse comment on this direct final rule, it will withdraw the direct final rule and proceed with the accompanying proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Updating OSHA Standards Based on National Consensus Standards--Acetylene</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 6(a) of the OSH Act, during the first two years of the Act, the Agency was directed to adopt national consensus standards as OSHA standards. Some of these standards were adopted as regulatory text, while others were incorporated by reference. In the more than 40 years since these standards were adopted by OSHA, the organizations responsible for these consensus standards have issued updated versions of these standards. However, in most cases, OSHA has not revised its regulations to reflect later editions of the consensus standards. OSHA standards also continue to incorporate by reference various consensus standards that are now outdated and, in some cases, out of print. The Agency is undertaking a multi-year project to update these standards.  A notice describing the project was published in November 2004 (69 FR 68283).  As part of this multi-year project, OSHA published a Direct Final Rule (DFR) for Acetylene and a final rule on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

The Acetylene DFR, published August 2009, updated 29 CFR 1910.102 based on the latest NFPA and Compressed Gas Association (CGI) consensus standards.  Just prior to issuing the DFR, CGI published a new edition of their standard in June 2009; OSHA's update of 29 CFR 1910.102 was undergoing final OMB review at that time.  OSHA intends to publish a DFR to incorporate the 2009 CGI standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Updating OSHA Standards Based on National Consensus Standards--Personal Protection Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 6(a) of the OSH Act, during the first two years of the Act, the Agency was directed to adopt national consensus standards as OSHA standards. Some of these standards were adopted as regulatory text, while others were incorporated by reference. In the more than 40 years since these standards were adopted by OSHA, the organizations responsible for these consensus standards have issued updated versions of these standards. However, in most cases, OSHA has not revised its regulations to reflect later editions of the consensus standards. OSHA standards also continue to incorporate by reference various consensus standards that are now outdated and, in some cases, out of print. The Agency is undertaking a multi-year project to update these standards.  A notice describing the project was published in November 2004 (69 FR 68283).  As part of this multi-year project, OSHA published a Direct Final Rule (DFR) for Acetylene and a final rule on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

The PPE Final Rule, published September 2009, amended the general industry PPE standard and incorporated by reference a number of updated consensus standards governing the design and testing of certain types of PPE.  The Final Rule did not update PPE standards for the construction industry; these standards currently refer to outdated consensus rules.  In addition, while the Final Rule was undergoing final OMB review, ANSI published a 2009 edition of the Head Protection (ANSI Z-89.1) consensus standard.  This current project will now incorporate the latest PPE consensus standards for the general, construction, and maritime industries]]></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.]]></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>

        <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 published a Final Rule on February 25, 2011.]]></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.

        <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 content 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>Proximity Detection Systems for Continuous Mining Machines in Underground Coal Mines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[ETS

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) will issue 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 face when working near continuous mining machines in underground coal mines.  MSHA has concluded, from investigations of accidents involving continuous mining machines and other reports, that immediate action is necessary to protect miners.  

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 coal miners by reducing the potential of pinning, crushing or striking hazards associated with working close to continuous mining machines.  As a part of the Secretary's strategy for securing safe and healthy workplaces, the OSHA will also undertake regulatory action related to reducing injuries and fatalities to workers in close proximity to moving equipment and vehicles.

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pattern of Violations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHA is preparing a final 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 to be used for operators who have demonstrated a disregard for the health and safety of miners. The final rule would reflect statutory intent, simplify the pattern of violations criteria, and improve consistency in applying the patterns of violations criteria.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The pattern of violations provision was a new enforcement tool in the Mine Act.  The Mine Act places the ultimate responsibility for ensuring the safety and health of miners on mine operators.  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>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[MSHA will consider alternative criteria for determining when a pattern of significant and substantial violations exists in order to improve health and safety conditions in mines and provide protection for miners.

            <RISKS><![CDATA[Mine operators with a chronic history of persistent serious violations needlessly expose miners to the same hazards again and again.  These operators demonstrate a disregard for the safety and health of miners; this indicates a serious safety and health management problem at the mine.  The existing regulation has not been effective in reducing repeated risks to miners at these mines.]]></RISKS>

        <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.  Therefore, MSHA will be revising existing standards for preshift, supplemental, on-shift, and weekly examinations to address violations of mandatory health or safety 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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <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 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[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>Amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (H.R. 3448) enacted on August 20, 1996 (Pub. L. 104-188, title II), amended the Portal-to-Portal Act (PA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The U.S. Troop Readiness, 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Claims for Compensation Under the Federal Employees&apos; Compensation Act </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 13, 2010, the Department of Labor (DOL) proposed revisions to the regulations governing the administration of the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) (75 FR 49596). The FECA provides benefits to all civilian Federal employees and certain other groups of employees and individuals who are injured or killed while performing their jobs. At that time, DOL also proposed revisions to the regulations establishing the authority of the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) which administers the FECA.

The proposed changes were summarized in that publication. The existing rules have been amended to acknowledge a change in the organization of the OWCP and amendments to the FECA which have occurred since the last time the regulations were amended in 1999. These changes also update the regulations by taking into account changes in technology and other changes to improve administrative efficiency. As many FECA claimants are not represented, the regulations are revised to insert FECA statutory references as a frame of reference for clarity and ease of use. The regulations include adding the skin as an organ pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 8107(c)(22). The regulations also create a new special schedule covering injuries to non-citizen non-resident Federal employees outside the United States. Finally, the regulations covering the processing of medical bills have been updated to provide for greater use of technology in that process to reduce costs and to clarify requirements for such submissions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations Implementing Amendments to the Black Lung Benefits Act: Determining Coal Miners and Survivors Entitlement to Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 amended the Black Lung Benefits Act, 30 U.S.C. 901 to 944, 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, that are pending on or after PPACA's March 23, 2010 enactment date, and to all claims filed on or after March 23, 2010.  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 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 amended the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. 901 to 950, to exclude from the Act's coverage certain employees who repair recreational vessels and who dismantle them for repair, regardless of the vessel's length.  On August 17, 2010, (republished on October 15, 2010), the Department issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking revising the definition of recreational vessel and addressing coverage of those employees who work in both qualifying maritime employment and employment excluded under the amendment.  The comment period ended on November 17, 2010.  The Department anticipates publishing a final rule by December 2011.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Compensation discrimination is one form of discrimination that is prohibited by Executive Order 11246.  Eliminating gender and race-based, compensation discrimination continues to be a priority issue for OFCCP.  To this end, OFCCP is considering the development of a new strategic compensation data collection tool that will effectively identify contractors that are likely to violate the Executive Order. 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>

This NPRM would strengthen the affirmative action requirements for Federal contractors and subcontractors.  The NPRM would amend the regulations to require that Federal contractors and subcontractors conduct more substantive analyses of recruitment and placement actions taken under VEVRAA and would require the use of numerical targets to measure the effectiveness of affirmative action efforts.  The NPRM would also make revisions to recordkeeping requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The regulations implementing construction contractor affirmative action obligations under Executive Order 11246, as amended, were last revised in 1980. 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. The NPRM would remove outdated regulatory provisions, propose a new method for establishing affirmative action goals, and propose other revisions to the affirmative action requirements that reflect the realities of the labor market and employment practices in the construction industry today.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is charged with enforcing Executive Order 11246, as amended, which prohibits Federal Government contractors and subcontractors from discriminating against individuals in employment on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, or national origin, and requires them to take affirmative action.  

OFCCP regulations at 41 CFR part 60-20 set forth the interpretations and guidelines for implementing Executive Order 11246, as amended, in regards to promoting and ensuring equal opportunities for all persons employed or seeking employment with Government contractors and subcontractors without regard to sex.  This nondiscrimination requirement also applies to contractors and subcontractors performing under federally assisted construction contracts.

The guidance in part 60-20 is more than 30 years old.  OFCCP will issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to create sex discrimination regulations that reflect the current state of the law in this area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Update to Regulations Governing Administrative Claims Under the Federal Tort Claims Act and Related Statutes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current Department of Labor regulations governing administration of claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) and other statutes that authorize payments for wrongful death, personal injury and/or property damage have been in place since 1995.  Since that time, experience in administering these regulations has provided a number of ideas of how these regulations may be streamlined, clarified and improved.  Furthermore, a number of changes have been made to the process whereby such claims are paid.  Finally, the FTCA claims process is also described in two other regulatory sections issued by the Employment and Training Administration in connection with Administration of the Job Corps; these sections should be consolidated to improve clarity and consistency with Departmental regulations.  In addition minor clarifications could be made to these regulations in regard to administration of the Federal Employees' Compensation Act in connection with Job Corps enrollees.  This will be issued as an NPRM as well as a direct final rule which will be effective 60 days after date of publication in the Federal Register, unless we receive a significant adverse comment by 30 days after date of publication in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules of Practice and Procedure for Administrative Hearings Before the Office of Administrative Law Judges</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rules of Practice and Procedure for Administrative Hearings Before the Office of Administrative Law Judges, 29 CFR part 18, subpart A, provide procedural guidance to administrative law judges, claimants, employers, and Department of Labor representatives seeking to resolve disputes under a variety of employment and labor laws.  The Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ) promulgated these regulations in 1983.  The rules were modeled on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (Federal Rules) and have proved extraordinarily helpful in providing litigants with familiar rules governing hearing procedure.

Since 1983, the Federal Rules have been amended many times.  Moreover, in 2007 the Federal Rules were given a complete revision to improve style and clarity.  The nature of litigation has also changed in the past 27 years, particularly in the areas of discovery and electronic records.  Thus, OALJ needs to revise the part 18, subpart A rules to make them more accessible and useful to parties, and to harmonize administrative hearing procedures with the current Federal Rules.  Our goal is amending the regulations to provide clarity through the use of consistent terminology, structure and formatting so that parties have clear direction when pursuing or defending against a claim.

In addition to revising the regulations to conform to modern legal procedure, the rules need to be modified to reflect the types of claims now heard by OALJ.  When the rules were promulgated in 1983, OALJ primarily adjudicated occupational disease and injury cases.  Presently, and looking ahead to the future, OALJ is and will be increasingly tasked with hearing whistleblower and other workplace retaliation claims, in addition to the occupational disease and injury cases.  These types of cases require more structured management and oversight by the presiding administrative law judge and more sophisticated motions and discovery procedures than our current regulations provide.  In order to best manage the complexities of whistleblower and discrimination claims, OALJ needs to update its rules to address the procedural questions that arise in these cases.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[VETS does not intend to undertake further rulemaking for this item.  VETS sought input on revisions suitable for implementation, within the very narrow range of Secretarial authority established by the governing statute.  In response to the publication of the ANPRM, only six comments were received, five of which were submitted by State agencies with workforce responsibilities.  These five State agencies reflected a regional concentration of States from the West and Southwest.  There was no clear consensus among the comments received.  Therefore, VETS intends to consider the possibility of implementing some of the suggestions received, within the administrative flexibility available under existing statutory and regulatory authority.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State, and Overseas Embassies and Consulates</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would create a class of indirect air carriers called air charter brokers to provide indirect air transportation of passengers aboard small and large aircraft, pursuant to single entity charter contracts. 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>

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>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 conditions.  Additionally, Congress mandated that, to the extent practicable, the rules be consistent and unified.  DOT is part of an interagency working group, along with the other delegated agencies, that is developing consistent unified rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirement for Wildlife Assessments at Certificated Airports</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require a Wildlife Hazard Assessment (scientific evaluation of wildlife populations and their attractants) for certificated airports.  This rulemaking would also require periodic completion of a wildlife hazard assessment, or continuous wildlife monitoring as an alternative to the assessment, and clarify requirements for those conducting an assessment.  This rulemaking is intended to decrease direct hazards (animals striking aircraft) and indirect hazards (animal burrowing and nesting in or near aircraft or aircraft operations areas).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would update, simplify, and clarify the current regulations governing the procedures for protest and contract disputes brought against the FAA.  It would also add a voluntary dispute avoidance and early resolution process.  This action is necessary to ensure the regulations reflect the changes that have evolved since 1999 when they were first implemented.  The intended effect of this action is to streamline and further improve the protest and dispute process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require all part 121 air carriers to implement a safety management system (SMS).  Congress passed Public Law 111-216 instructing FAA to conduct a rulemaking to require all part 121 air carriers to implement an SMS. The proposed rule must include the following safety management elements: requirements based on risk management, quality management techniques to develop safety assurance, use of interrelated systems to measure effectiveness of safety measures, and promotion of an organization-wide safety culture. Congress further required that the FAA consider at a minimum each of the following as part of the SMS rulemaking:  (1) An Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP), (2) A Flight Operational Quality Assurance Program (FOQA), (3) A Line Operations Safety Audit, and  (4) An Advance Qualification Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New York Congestion Management Rule for LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and Newark Liberty International Airport</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would replace the current temporary orders limiting scheduled operations at LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and Newark Liberty International Airport with a more permanent rule to address the issues of congestion and delay at the New York area's three major commercial airports, while also promoting fair access and competition.  The rulemaking would help ensure that congestion and delays are managed by limiting scheduled and unscheduled operations.  The rulemaking would also establish a secondary market for U.S. and foreign air carriers to buy, sell, trade, and lease slots amongst each other at each of the three airports.  This would allow carriers serving or seeking to serve the New York area airports to exchange slots as their business models and strategic goals require.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would provide for the issuance of Airworthiness Directives (AD´s) as needed to address any unsafe condition in a type certificated product, if that unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop in products of the same type design.  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.  Some airworthiness directives may be treated as significant rules, depending on their economic impact and/or policy implications. Total actions expected -- 550.  10/00/2010 - 10/00/2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would provide for instrument descent to airports in the United States.  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 require proficiency checks for pilots in command (PIC´s) 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 amend the regulations applicable to operators of certain airplanes used in air carrier service and certificated for flight in icing conditions.  The standards would require either the installation of ice detection equipment or changes to the Airplane Flight Manual to ensure timely activation of the airframe ice protection system.  This regulation is the result of information gathered from a review of icing accidents and incidents, and it is intended to improve the level of safety when airplanes are operated in icing conditions.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend existing flight, duty, and rest regulations applicable to certificate holders and their flightcrew members. The new requirements would eliminate the current distinctions between domestic, flag, and supplemental operations. Also, the rulemaking would provide different requirements based on the time of day, whether an individual is acclimated to a new time zone, and the likelihood of being able to sleep under different circumstances.  This rulemaking is necessary to improve aviation safety by providing applicable persons with the opportunity for sufficient rest. This rulemaking is related to the following: an NPRM (RIN 2120-AF63), and a Withdrawal (RIN 2120-AI93).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibition Against Certain Flights Within the Territory and Airspace of Afghanistan</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 in engaged in such flight operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Harmonization of Airworthiness Standards Flight Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Safety Management Systems (SMS) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would have required a Safety Management System (SMS) for FAA certificate holders, certain product manufacturers, applicants, and employers.  However, the advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) proposed a broader rule than the FAA is now developing. The FAA is now withdrawing the ANPRM.  In place of the ANPRM, the FAA is developing a final rule per Public Law 111-216, section 215 to "require all part 121 air carriers to implement a safety management system."  Following this Congressionally mandated rulemaking, the FAA is considering additional SMS rulemaking for commuter and on-demand operations, manufacturers, and repair stations.  All SMS rulemakings are intended to further enhance the practice of managing safety, conducting risk and system assessments and analysis, undertaking preventive and corrective actions, and creating a safety culture.  While the current SMS rulemaking initiatives are narrower than the ANPRM, FAA intends SMS rules across segments of the industry to be consistent.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Flightcrew Alerting (Formerly Warning, Caution and Advisory Lights)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FAA is amending the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes concerning flightcrew alerting. These standards update definitions, prioritization, color requirements, and performance for flightcrew alerting to reflect changes in technology and functionality. It adds additional alerting functions, and consolidates and standardizes definitions and regulations for flightcrew warning, caution, and advisory alerting systems. Finally, this action will result in harmonized standards between the FAA and EASA.  This rulemaking has been downgraded and will not appear in next month´s report.]]></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 Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act:  A Legacy for Users (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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Driver&apos;s License Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 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.  It is also intended to ensure that employers are meeting their drug and alcohol testing responsibilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 the HMTAA within 60 days after the issuance of the writ and a final rule no later than 6 months after the issuance of the NPRM. The court granted the petition for writ of mandamus on September 30, 2010, ordering  FMCSA to issue an NPRM on the supporting document regulations by December 30, 2010.  At the request of the agency, the DC Circuit extended the deadline to January 31, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 (SAFETEA-LU).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Minimum Training Requirements for Entry Level Commercial Motor Vehicle Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 108 of the Railroad Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA), Public Law 110-432, signed 10/16/08, effective July 16, 2009, states that railroad signal employees operating motor vehicles shall not be subject to hours of service (HOS) rules promulgated by any other Federal authority, including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

The RSIA will require the FMCSA to amend its HOS regulations to state that FMCSA HOS regulations do not apply to railroad signal employees. The rule will provide clarity to the motor carrier industry and eliminate improper citations to signal employees because enforcement officers may not be aware of the statutory exception.]]></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>

The purpose of this notice of proposed rulemaking  is to delete the requirement for drivers operating IME to submit driver-vehicle inspection reports (DVIRs) when the driver has not found or been made aware of any defects ("no-defect DVIRs").  This proposal responds to a joint petition for rulemaking from the Ocean Carrier Equipment Management Association and the Institute of International Container Lessors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish revisions to the commercial driver's license knowledge and skills testing standards as required by section 4019 of TEA-21, implement fraud detection and prevention initiatives at the State driver licensing agencies as required by the SAFE Port Act of 2006, and establish new minimum Federal standards for States to issue commercial learner's permits (CLPs), based in part on the requirements of section 4122 of Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act:  A Legacy for Users (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 rulemaking would also address issues raised in the SAFE Port Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Upgrade of Event Data Recorder Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would expand the utility of the amount and type of data Event Data Recorders (EDRs) capture in light vehicles in the event of a crash. The rulemaking would consider requiring some of the optional data elements specified in 49 CFR part 563. Part 563 established the current reporting requirement of voluntarily installed EDRs in light vehicles. In addition, this rulemaking would make revisions to the optional data elements to account for the latest advances in vehicle safety. Part 563 presently requires vehicle manufacturers who are voluntarily installing EDRs to be in compliance with the regulation by September 1, 2012. In a separate rulemaking, the agency would propose requiring that all light vehicles comply with the requirements specified in current 49 CFR 563. This rulemaking would seek additional information from the public and expand upon that initiative. Moreover, this rulemaking would contribute to advancements in vehicle designs, advanced restraints and other safety countermeasures. The costs are expected to be minimal since some vehicle manufacturers presently capture additional data beyond part 563 in their EDRs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FMVSS No. 124, Accelerator Control Systems Upgrade</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency is considering several revisions to FMVSS No. 124.  First, we are considering revisions to the test procedures for vehicles with electronically controlled throttles as well as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles.  These test procedures are the product of several workshops and public meetings.  We anticipate that all vehicles would be able to meet them because it would not involve changes to the existing basic requirements of the standard.  Second, we are considering adding a new requirement for a brake-throttle override system on light vehicles.   Under certain conditions, this would require that the braking system overrides the throttle control in the event of a conflict.  All vehicle manufacturers are in the process of equipping all of their U.S. vehicles with such technology, if they have not done so already.  We anticipate that this new requirement would accommodate the current and planned override technologies.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mandatory Part 563 Event Data Recorder Requirements </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish a new Federal motor vehicle safety standard to mandate the installation of Event Data Recorders (EDR) in light vehicles. The standard would incorporate the current 49 CFR part 563 which established the current reporting requirement of voluntarily installed EDRs in light vehicles. Part 563 presently requires vehicle manufacturers who are voluntarily installing EDRs to be in compliance with the regulation by September 1, 2012. This rulemaking would not affect the 2012 compliance date for voluntarily-installed EDRs. Furthermore, this rulemaking would not modify any of the part 563 data elements, data capture and format requirements, data retrieval specifications, or data survivability and crash test requirements. Moreover, this rulemaking to mandate EDRs across the entire light vehicle fleet could contribute to advancements in vehicle designs, and advanced restraint and other safety countermeasures. The estimated total incremental costs associated with this rulemaking would be $24.4 million (2009 dollars) which is measured from a baseline of 91.6 percent EDR installation to 100 percent installation, assuming the sale of 15.5 million light vehicles per year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FMVSS 114, Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention, Keyless Ignition Systems </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMVSS No. 114, Theft protection and rollaway prevention, has provisions that govern the operation of ignition systems in vehicles. Using consumer compliance data, NHTSA has identified emerging safety concerns regarding keyless ignition controls that are not directly addressed by this standard. The concerns are drivers who are unable to shut down the propulsion system of their vehicle in the event of any on-road emergency; drivers who shut off the propulsion system without putting their vehicle in park and walk away from the vehicle, leaving it prone to roll away; and drivers who do put their vehicle in park, but inadvertently leave the propulsion system active increasing the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in a closed environment. To address these emerging safety issues, we tentatively conclude that new requirements are necessary. We anticipate, if made final, that these new requirements would have little or no anticipated cost as they are based on a new Society of Automotive Engineers Recommended Practice J2948-20110. We believe that manufacturers already intend to follow that Practice voluntarily. The benefits for these new provisions are in the form of reduced consumer confusion of these new controls and the reduction of potential risk of death or injury. However, because these systems are not widespread in current vehicles, their benefits cannot yet be readily quantified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

The School Bus Manufacturers Technical Council (SBMTC) petitioned the agency to amend the requirements of FMVSS No. 217 regarding the location of the exterior release for school bus rear emergency exit doors. The petitioner requested that S5.3.3.1(a) be amended to clearly specify that the drawing which shows the horizontal location of the release for a rear emergency exit door applies only to the interior release and not to the exterior latch.]]></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>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>

        <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: permit the agency to deny or revoke registration to entities that have been convicted of a crime related to the importation, purchase, or sale of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment; 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>New Car Assessment Program Safety Ratings Labeling</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the NCAP safety ratings portion of the Monroney label to include a new overall vehicle score that is based on the frontal crash, side crash, and rollover resistance ratings for each vehicle.  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>Require Installation of Seat Belts on Motorcoaches, FMVSS No. 208</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend CFR title 49 - 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 respond to the petitions for reconsideration of the final rule to upgrade the requirements for electrical shock protection and electrical energy storage/conversion system retention. This rulemaking would make minor clarifications to the terms and definitions and would respond to petitions to make minor changes to the energy storage device retention requirements and the test condition state-of-charge. On June 14, 2010, NHTSA published a final rule upgrading Federal motor vehicle safety standard No. 305 to facilitate the development and introduction of fuel cell vehicles, a type of electric-powered vehicle, and the next generation of hybrid and battery electric powered vehicles. The final rule made a number of changes including specifying different isolation resistance requirements for alternating and direct currents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to petitions for reconsideration by the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers regarding the March 2010 final rule and also corrects errors in the rule.  The agency previously published a FMVSS No. 214, (part 1) final rule on June 9, 2008 (73 FR 32473) responding to petitions on lead time, phase-in schedules and other time-sensitive matters that needed to be resolved or clarified.  In addition the agency published another final rule (part 2) on March 15, 2010 (75 FR 12123), responding to detailed technical issues on dummy positioning, test procedure issues, effective date for convertibles in the MDB test, pelvic injury criterion for the SID-IIs dummy, and exclusion requests for vehicles built in more than 1 stage.  The agency is completing its response to petitions for reconsideration on the September 11, 2007 FMVSS No. 214, ?Side impact protection,? final rule.  This final rule would clarify the following:  fore-aft position of the non-struck side front seat, head restraint adjustment and test dummy head position.  It also would correct an error in the identification of a reference mark for test dummy hip positioning.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address petitions for reconsideration received by NHTSA to a July, 2009 final rule that reduced stopping distance requirements for truck tractors and other heavy vehicles. The petitioners have suggested that the new stopping distance requirements for truck tractors that can't achieve a top speed of 60 mph may not be achievable and that unique braking systems would need to be developed. NHTSA has conducted additional testing at these lower speeds and would make slight adjustments to the stopping distance tables as needed. With these adjustments we believe truck manufacturers would not incur any additional costs over and above the costs associated with installing improved braking systems as indicated in the July 2009 Final Rule. That is, they would not need to make further vehicle modifications or build special systems to meet the stopping distances from lower initial test speeds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would rescind FMVSS No. 219, Windshield Zone Intrusion. 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>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 Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act (SAFETEA-LU)  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."  SAFETEA-LU 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>

        <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>FMVSS No. 108 Exterior Lamp Visibility Reconsideration  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address petitions for reconsideration of 2004 final rule. NHTSA published a final rule in August 2004 which among other actions was intended to harmonize the exterior lamp visibility requirements in the US with the requirements of the European Union. A petition for reconsideration stated that our rule failed to accomplish this for motorcycles. The agency has evaluated the issue including the intent of the 2004 final rule to reduce the inefficiency created of our regulations conflicting with those of other world markets. We believe this rulemaking is a no costs action and has unquantifiable benefits in the form of certification and compliance testing for motorcycle manufacturers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Passenger Train Emergency Systems; Doors, Emergency Lighting, Emergency Signage and Markings for Egress and Access, and Low-Location Emergency Exit Path Marking; Miscellaneous Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Program; Buy America Program Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish regulations for FRA's Buy America requirements as part of the High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) program.  The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA) (Division B of Pub. L. 110-432) authorized the appropriation of funds to establish several new passenger rail grant programs, including capital investment grants to support intercity passenger rail service (sec. 301), high-speed corridor development (sec. 501), and congestion grants (sec. 302).  FRA has consolidated these and other closely related programs into the HSIPR program, as detailed in FRA's High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Interim Guidance (74 Fed. Reg. 29900 (June 23, 2009)) and FY 2010 Interim Guidance (75 Fed. Reg. 38344 and 38365 (July 1, 2010)).  Spending authorized under PRIIA is subject to the Buy America provision of 49 U.S.C. section 24405(a).  This rulemaking would provide standards to govern FRA's application of the Buy America provision of 49 U.S.C. section 24405(a) to all PRIIA-authorized spending as part of the HSIPR program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments Expanding the Drug Panel for FRA Post-Accident Toxicological Testing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would expand the drug testing panel for FRA's post-accident toxicological testing (PATT) program, which investigates the role of alcohol and drug use in serious train accidents.  This rulemaking would also amend the requirements regarding the analysis of PATT results in 49 CFR 219.211 to reflect that some of the drugs in the expanded panel are prescription and over-the-counter drugs that are not controlled substances.  FRA has tested for the same basic panel of drugs since the beginning of PATT in 1985.  Currently, FRA tests blood and urine specimens for eight drug classifications:  alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, the opiates, the amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), the barbiturates, and the benzodiazepines.  FRA would expand the PATT panel to include synthetic opiates, sedating antihistamines, MDMA and one of its analogues, and additional benzodiazepines.  This rulemaking does not make any substantive changes to the prohibitions on the abuse of controlled substances and prescription drugs found in 49 CFR 219.102 and 219.103.]]></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>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.  It would revise both the safety limits for these operations and the process to qualify them.  It 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 would provide safety assurance for train operations in all classes of track.  It 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.  This rulemaking was recently upgraded to significant.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend FTA´s bus testing procedures to more accurately reflect passenger loads by updating the average passenger weight to incorporate recent statistical data.  This action would affect those transit bus manufacturers who may need to upgrade vehicle components or modify vehicle configurations to better accommodate heavier weight loads. FTA notes that any cost increase due to a transit agency's decision to upgrade components would be offset by FTA's financial assistance program which covers at least 80% of a vehicle's capital costs, minimizing any economic impact of this rulemaking on public transit vehicles manufacturers and their customers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking action is terminated because it is not feasible unless pending legislation is enacted.  This rulemaking would amend the existing state safety oversight rule to bring it into conformity with SAFETEA-LU and to make other changes.  The rule would establish a uniform safety standard for public transportation agencies that operate a rail system in more than one state, and would authorize State Safety Oversight Agencies to begin the oversight process during the design of a rail fixed guideway system, rather than waiting until the commencement of revenue service.  The rule would also address recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board concerning recommended equipment and personnel standards for rail operators.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pipeline Safety: Excess Flow Valves In Applications Other Than Single-Family Residences in Gas Distribution Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require excess flow valves (EFVs) be installed in all new and renewed gas service lines, for structures other than single family dwellings, when the operating conditions are compatible with readily available valves.  These changes would be in response to NTSB and PHMSA investigations of current EFV installation practices.  The intended effect of the rule is to increase the level of safety for structures other than single family dwellings currently subject to Federal pipeline safety regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials:  Bulk Loading and Unloading Operations </RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

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:  Safety of On-Shore Liquid Hazardous Pipelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address effective methods that hazardous liquid operators can take to improve the protection of High Consequence Areas (HCA) and other vulnerable areas along their hazardous liquid onshore pipelines.  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>Hazardous Materials: Requirements for Storage of Explosives During Transportation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) require all hazardous materials shipments stored during transportation to conform to the same requirements that apply when the shipments are actually moving.  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires shipments of Division 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 explosives to be attended at all times or allows for unattended storage in a safe haven.  There are no specific requirements or guidance as to the key safety measures that must be in place for an area to be considered a safe haven.  Through this rulemaking, PHMSA, in coordination with FMCSA, is designating the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard 498 as the Federally approved standard for the construction and maintenance of safe havens used for unattended storage of Division 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 explosives.  This change will fill a safety gap in the safe haven designation process and provide state and local governments and the regulated community with Federal guidance regarding the key safety measures that need to be in place at safe havens.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials; Combination Packages Containing Liquids Intended for Transport by Aircraft </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Incident data and testing conducted on behalf of DOT indicate many combination packagings authorized for the transportation of hazardous materials may not withstand conditions normally incident to air transportation.   PHMSA is considering measures to reduce the incidence of package failures and to minimize the consequences of failures should they occur.  This rulemaking would require additional measures to verify packaging integrity, such as performance testing, and revisions to packaging requirements, such as the addition of liners or absorbent material.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to comprehensively address the safe transportation of lithium cells and batteries.  The intent of the rulemaking is to strengthen the current regulatory framework by imposing more effective safeguards, including design testing to address risks related to internal short circuits, and enhanced packaging, hazard communication, and operational measures for various types and sizes of lithium batteries in specific transportation contexts.  The rulemaking responds to several recommendations issued by the National Transportation Safety Board.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[PHMSA and FMCSA would amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) to prohibit a motor vehicle driver from entering onto a highway-rail grade crossing unless there is sufficient space to drive completely through the grade crossing without stopping. This action is in response to section 112 of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Authorization Act of 1994 and the intent of this rulemaking is to reduce highway-rail grade crossing crashes.]]></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 provides 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 are applying 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials:  Revision to Requirements for Harmonization With UN Recommendations, IMDG Code, and ICAO&apos;s Technical Instructions</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 alternatives that PHMSA has permitted under widely used and longstanding special permits that are granted to multiple parties and have established safety records.  The provisions of the special permits would be incorporated as currently written, with no revisions or expansion of scope.  The special permits addressed include authorization to transport liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in non-DOT specification cargo tank motor vehicles used exclusively for agricultural purposes and authorization to transport certain hazardous materials used for roadway striping in non-DOT specification cargo tanks.
  Special permits allow a company or individual to package or ship a hazardous material in a manner that varies from the HMR provided an equivalent level of safety is maintained.  Incorporation of the six special permits addressed in this rulemaking into regulations of general applicability would provide shippers and carriers with additional flexibility to comply with established safety requirements, thereby reducing transportation costs for industry and administrative costs for the agency. The provisions would reduce the paperwork caused by continued renewals of these special permits  and eliminate the need for over 10,000 current grantees to reapply for the renewal of six special permits every four years.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would collect more detailed revenue information regarding airline imposed fees from those air carriers meeting the definition of "large certificated air carriers."  Many air carriers have adopted fees for such services as checked baggage, carry-on baggage, meals, on-board entertainment, internet connections, pillows, blankets, early boarding, canceling or changing reservations, unaccompanied minors, pet transportation, etc. Also, the Department is proposing to change the way it computes mishandled baggage rates from mishandled baggage reports per domestic enplanement to mishandled bags per checked bags.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury proposes to amend its DC Pension rules promulgated pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, as amended (the Act). Pursuant to the Act, Treasury's Office of DC Pensions (ODCP) has responsibility for payment of benefits based on service accrued as of June 30, 1997, under the retirement plans for the District of Columbia teachers, police officers, and firefighters. Benefits for service after that date are funded by the District of Columbia. ODCP also has responsibility for retirement benefits payable to DC judges and their survivors, regardless of when the service was performed.  The amended regulations implement the general rules for the Department of Treasury's administration of its program responsibilities,  including reviewing benefit denials and collecting debts incurred in the administration of this program.]]></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 rule to implement statutory restrictions on the garnishment of Federal benefit payments.  The 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 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>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>

        <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; Anti-Money Laundering Programs; Special Due Diligence Programs for Certain Foreign Accounts</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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>

        <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.  FMS is also proposing to strengthen the procedures and standards governing the adjudication by FMS of any agency complaint requesting that a surety's certificate be revoked for nonperformance.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB is amending 27 CFR part 17 to allow manufacturers to self-certify that their products meet the legal requirements for nonbeverage drawback.  A temporary rule will allow this new procedure as an optional alternative, and a concurrent notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) will propose making the new procedure mandatory.  Thereafter, the changes proposed in the NPRM may be made permanent by a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

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>Labeling and Advertising of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB requests public comment on possible changes to the labeling and advertising requirements of alcohol beverage products regulated by TTB. TTB has long required certain labeling, such as brand name, class and type, alcohol content (in the case of wines containing more than 14 percent alcohol by volume and distilled spirits), net contents, and in recent years has published updated standards for the use of carbohydrate and calorie claims. Because of petitions to mandate additional information, including ingredient, allergen, alcohol, calorie, and carbohydrate content, and requests by some to use labels with at least some of that additional information on a voluntary basis under existing rules, TTB believes it is now appropriate to consider revising the alcohol beverage labeling and advertising regulations, and seeks public comment on several issues to assist TTB in formulating specific regulatory proposals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disclosure of Cochineal Extract and Carmine in the Labeling of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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>

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>

        <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>

        <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).

The specific statutory changes involve the amendment of several provisions to clarify the status of apparel articles assembled from knit-to-shape components, the inclusion of a specific reference to apparel articles formed on seamless knitting machines, a change of the wool fiber diameter specified in one provision, and the addition of a new provision to cover additional production scenarios involving the United States and AGOA beneficiary countries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interest on Untimely Paid Vessel Repair Duties </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR) to provide that where an owner or master of a vessel documented under the laws of the United States fails to timely pay the duties determined to be due to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that are associated with the purchase of equipment for, or repair to, the vessel while it is outside the United States, interest will accrue on the amounts owed to CBP and that person will be liable for interest.  The purpose of this document is to ensure that title 19 of the CFR reflects that CBP collects interest as part of its inherent revenue collection functions in situations where an owner or master of a vessel fails to pay the vessel repair duties determined to be due within 30 days of CBP issuing the bill.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Import Restrictions Imposed on Certain Categories of Archaeological Material From the Pre-Hispanic Cultures of the Republic of Nicaragua</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect the extension of import restrictions on certain categories of archaeological material from the Pre-Hispanic cultures of the Republic of Nicaragua.  The restrictions, which were originally imposed by Treasury Decision (T.D.) 00-75 and extended by CBP Decision (Dec.) 05-33, are due to expire on October 20, 2010.  The Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, has determined that factors continue to warrant the imposition of import restrictions.  Accordingly, these import restrictions will remain in effect for an additional 5 years, and the CBP regulations are being amended to reflect this extension until October 20, 2015.  These restrictions are being extended pursuant to determinations of the United States Department of State made under the terms of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act that implemented the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property.  T.D. 00-75 contains the Designated List of archaeological material representing Pre-Hispanic cultures of Nicaragua to which the restrictions apply.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Import Restrictions Imposed on Archaeological Material Originating in Italy and Representing the Pre-Classical, Classical, and Imperial Roman Periods</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the extension of import restrictions imposed on certain archaeological material originating in Italy and representing the pre-Classical, Classical, and Imperial Roman periods of its cultural heritage, ranging in date from approximately the 9th century B.C. through approximately the 4th century A.D.  The restrictions, which were originally imposed by Treasury Decision (T.D.) 01-06 and extended by CBP Decision (Dec.) 06-01, are due to expire on January 19, 2011.  The Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, determined that conditions continue to warrant the imposition of import restrictions.  Accordingly, these import restrictions will remain in effect for an additional 5 years, and the CBP regulations are being amended to reflect this extension until January 19, 2016.  These restrictions are being extended pursuant to determinations of the United States Department of State made under the terms of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act that implemented the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property.  This document also contains the Designated List of archaeological material of Italy that describes the articles to which the restrictions apply.  Note that the Designated List has been amended to include "Coins of Italian Types" under the category entitled "Metal."]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance Regarding Marketing of Refund Anticipation Loans (RALS) and Certain Other Products in Connection With the Preparation of a Tax Return</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

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>

Temporary and proposed regulations, under sections 414(q) and 414(s), were published February 19, 1988 (53 FR 4965). Final regulations, under section 414(s), were published September 19, 1991 (56 FR 47659), under project EE-129-86. The regulations under section 414(q) were split off from project EE-129-86. It is anticipated that proposed regulations under section 414(q) will be published in the future under project REG-209558-92 (EE-32-92).]]></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>

The remainder of the start-up or organizational expenditures are allowed as deductions ratably over the 180-month period beginning with the month the corporation begins business.  Similar rules are provided for organizational and syndication fees for partnerships.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The application of existing Treasury Regulation section 1.901-2(f) is unclear in certain circumstances, including circumstances in which foreign law permits foreign corporations to determine their taxable income and tax liability on a combined basis. Amendments are needed to clarify the application of Treasury Regulation  section 1.901-2 in such circumstances.  In some cases, such as cases involving reverse hybrid entities, the application of existing Treasury Regulation section 1.901-2(f) reaches inappropriate results.  Amendments are needed to change the results in such cases.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final regulations provide the method required to determine the value of the portion of trust corpus includible in a deceased grantor's gross estate under section 2036 if the grantor retained at death: (1) an interest in a trust that increases during the trust's term; or (2) the right to receive an annuity or other payment after the death of the current recipient of that annuity or payment. These regulations also clarify that section 2033 does not include in the gross estate the value of payments from a trust that are to be made to the decedent's estate after the decedent's death, when a portion of or the trust's entire corpus in includible in the decedent's gross estate under section 2036.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Regulations Regarding Questions and Answers Relating to Church Tax Inquiries and Examinations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

In addition, section 54A(i) contemplates regulations prescribed by the Treasury to provide guidance with respect to the separation of ownership of the tax credit (stripping the tax credit) from the ownership of the bond (the principal payment right).]]></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>Capitalization of Amounts Paid To Repair, Improve, or Rehabilitate Tangible Property</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document contains temporary regulations that explain how section 263(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) applies to amounts paid to acquire, produce, or improve tangible property. The proposed regulations clarify and expand the standards in the current regulations under section 263(a), as well as provide some bright-line tests (for example, a de minimis rule for acquisitions). The temporary regulations will affect all taxpayers that acquire, produce, or improve tangible property. On August 21, 2006, the IRS and Treasury Department published in the Federal Register (71 FR 161) proposed amendments to the regulations under section 263(a) (2006 proposed regulations) relating to amounts paid to acquire, produce, or improve tangible property. The IRS and Treasury Department received numerous written comments. A public hearing was held on December 19, 2006. After considering the comment letters and the statements at the public hearing, the IRS and Treasury Department withdrew the 2006 proposed regulations and proposed new regulations (2008 proposed regulations) (73 FR 12838).  After considering the comment letters and input from the Service, the IRS and Treasury Department are planning to withdraw the 2008 proposed regulations and propose new regulations, which will also be issued in temporary form.  Included as part of the new project will be temporary and proposed regulations under section 1.168 revising certain property disposition rules. This Regulatory Information Data Form is being submitted to request a RIN for the temporary regulations to accompany the re-proposed regulations (RIN 1545-BE18).]]></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.

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Qualified Foreign Corporation Under Section 1(n)1l</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>

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

        <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>

        <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>

        <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>Incentive-Based Compensation Arrangements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OTS, together with the OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC, SEC, and FHFA will issue a  proposed rule to implement section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act.  Section 956 requires the Agencies to issue joint final regulations or guidelines on incentive-based compensation practices.  The rule would prohibit incentive-based compensation arrangements that encourage executive officers, employees, directors, or principal shareholders to expose the institution to inappropriate risks by providing the covered person excessive compensation.]]></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[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>

These statutes require the OCC, FRB, FDIC, FHFA, and FCA to issue joint rules covering swap dealers, major swap participants, security-based swap dealers, and major security based-swap participants subject to each agencies' supervision.  These rules will address capital requirements, and initial and variation margin requirements, for swaps and security-based swaps that are not cleared by a registered clearing agency.  The OCC, FRB, FDIC, FHFA, and FCA will consult with the CFTC and SEC (which are required to engage in the same rulemaking with respect to entities under their supervision) to establish, to the maximum extent practicable, rules that are comparable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Risk-Based Capital Standards:  Market Risk</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal banking agencies issued 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 incorporates 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, FRB, FDIC, and OTS issued a proposal to revise the transitional floors in the advanced approaches risk-based capital rule to preclude a decline in a banking organization's risk-based capital requirements during the transition period.  Under the proposed revisions, the capital floors used by a banking organization subject to the advanced approaches during its first, second, and third transitional floor periods would be 100 percent of the bank's tier 1 and total risk-based capital requirements computed under the agencies' general risk-based capital rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC amended 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.  It also implements the statutory prohibition on the disclosure by the government of a SAR "except to fulfill official duties."  The rule is based upon a notice of proposed rulemaking that was published contemporaneously by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>Secondary Service Connection for Diagnosable Illnesses Associated With Traumatic Brain Injury </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its adjudication regulations concerning diagnosable illnesses which are secondary to service-connected traumatic brain injury (TBI).  This amendment is necessary to act upon a report of the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine, Gulf War and Health, Volume 7:  Long-Term Consequences of Traumatic Brain Injury, regarding the association between TBI and five diagnosable illnesses.  The intended effect of this amendment is to establish that if service connection is established for TBI, these conditions, if diagnosed, shall be considered to be the proximate result of the service-connected TBI.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical regulations to add rules relating to medical foster homes.  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[This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) "Payment or Reimbursement for Emergency Services for Nonservice-Connected Conditions in Non-VA Facilities" regulations to conform with changes made by certain sections of the Veterans' Emergency Care Fairness Act of 2009, 111 Public Law 137 ("2009 Act").  Some of the revisions in this proposed rulemaking are purely technical, matching the language of our regulations to the language of the statutes revised by the public law, while others set out VA's policies regarding the implementation of statutory requirements.  The proposed rule would expand the qualifications for payment or reimbursement to veterans who receive emergency services in non-VA facilities, and establishes accompanying standards for the method and amount of payment or reimbursement.]]></ABSTRACT>

VA also proposes to codify in the regulation statutory presumptions of medical-care eligibility for veterans of certain wars and conflicts who developed psychosis within specified time periods and for Persian Gulf War veterans who developed a mental illness other than psychosis within 2 years after service and within 2 years after the end of the Persian Gulf War period.  Prior to this rulemaking, VA has implemented this authority without regulations.  We now believe that regulations are necessary because we would interpret the law to allow VA to waive any copayments associated with care pursuant to the statutory presumption and to waive any otherwise applicable minimum service requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Copayments for Medications Beginning January 1, 2012</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations concerning copayments charged to certain veterans for medication required on an outpatient basis to treat non-service connected conditions.  VA currently charges non-exempt veterans either $8 or $9 for each 30-day or less supply of medication, and beginning January 1, 2012, a calculation will be used to determine the copayment amount.  This rulemaking would lower the copayment amount after January 1, 2012, to $3 for a 30-day supply of certain medications.  The medications that would qualify for the reduced rate will be determined by a number of factors designed to create the best health impact on the veteran population, while considering VA's limited resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Release of Information From Department of Veterans Affairs Records</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document revises the 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 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. These 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 delegates 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>

        <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 of 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>

        <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>Substitution In Case of Death of Claimant</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations concerning adjudication of claims, representation of claimants, and Board of Veterans' Appeals rules of practice.  These amendments would implement section 212 of the Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2008, which allows an eligible survivor to substitute for a deceased claimant in order to complete the processing of the deceased claimant's claim.  The intended effect of these amendments is to clarify the rules and procedures for those situations in which substitution is authorized.  Under section 212, if a claimant dies while his or her claim or appeal is pending before VA, a survivor who would be eligible for accrued benefits under existing statutory authority may, not later than one year after the death of the claimant, request to be substituted for the claimant for the purposes of processing the claim or appeal to completion.  Accordingly, after substitution, VA will continue to process the claim or appeal as if the claimant had not died.  These amendments clarify the following matters:  eligibility for substitution, how an eligible survivor makes a request to substitute, how VA responds to requests to substitute, a substitute's rights in adjudication, limitations related to substitution, order of preference among eligible survivors, representation of substitutes, and procedures for substitution when a claim is before the Board of Veterans' Appeals.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Schedule for Rating Disabilities; Primary Amyloidosis (AL Amyloidosis)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends 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[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its 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 would 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.  Similarly, we would require that a State make its matching funds for a project available by April 15, and not August 15, in order for the project to be placed in priority group 1 of the priority list for the next fiscal year.  The purpose of these changes is to ensure that VA has sufficient time to process all applications received and timely prepare the priority list.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document promulgates Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) interim final regulations concerning caregivers benefits provided by VA.  This rule is necessary to implement title I of the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010, Public Law 111-163, which was signed into law on May 5, 2010.  The purpose of the caregivers benefits program is to provide certain medical, travel, training, and financial benefits to caregivers of veterans and certain servicemembers who were seriously injured during service on or after September 11, 2001.  By enabling and encouraging family members to serve as caregivers, we hope to prevent the need to place these veterans and servicemembers in institutional care and instead ensure that those who wish to may continue to live in their homes with their families and loved ones.]]></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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>VA Veteran-Owned Small Business Verification Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) affirms as final, with changes, a final rule with request for comments that implemented portions of the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006.  This law requires the VA to verify ownership and control of veteran-owned small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.  This final rule rescinds the requirement that eligible owners work full-time in the business for which they have applied for acceptance in the Verification Program and that limits participants to a single business.  It formally changes the time period for issuance of reconsideration decisions from 30 to 60 days and changes the distribution of profits for limited liability companies and employee stock ownership plans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Charges Billed to Third Parties for Prescription Drugs Furnished by VA to a Veteran for a Nonservice-Connected Disability</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs affirms as final an interim final rule that froze until January 1, 2012, the copayment required for certain medications.  Under those amendments, the copayment amount for veterans in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system, enrollment priority categories 2 through 6, will remain at $8 and the copayment amount for veterans in enrollment priority categories 7 and 8 will remain at $9.  The maximum annual copayment amount will also not increase.  On January 1, 2012, the copayment amounts will increase based on the prescription drug component of the Medical Consumer Price Index (CPI-P).  When the copayment increases, the maximum annual copayment amount automatically increases in turn.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 504 authorizes a VA practitioner, when the practitioner deems it necessary to ensure an informed medical decision, to share certain, otherwise protected medical information with the representative of a patient who lacks decision-making capacity.  This rulemaking makes technical amendments to our regulations to clearly reflect and implement this new authority.]]></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). 

EPA plans to satisfy that requirement using the Regional Haze SIPs. The agency currently has a Regional Haze SIP that was submitted by Oklahoma. However, EPA may 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 analysis indicates the power company's cost estimates were too high. Based on 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>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is issuing an interpretive rule to clarify that the streamlined process under the new part 3 Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), 40 CFR section 3.1000(a), that allows States, tribes and local governments (authorized programs) to modify their EPA-authorized programs to allow electronic reporting may not be sufficient to amend an authorized program's State Implementation Plan (SIP), and the Clean Air Act requirements for revising SIPs must still be met. This notice would harmonize any potential tension between 40 CFR section 3.1000 and section 51.286, and clarify that while a state may use the part 3 CROMERR process to ensure that a program complies with CROMERR's technical requirements, that process may not be sufficient in itself to amend the content of a SIP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will respond to a petition received by EPA to delete acetonitrile from the list of toxic chemicals reportable under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA). EPA will respond to the petition by either granting or denying the petition. If EPA grants the petition a notice of proposed rulemaking will be published in the Federal Register, if EPA denies the petition a notice of petition denial will be published. The deletion of this chemical would eliminate all the reporting requirements under the Toxic Chemical Release Reporting Rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Reporting Requirements Primarily Associated With Metal Mining</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>Electronic Reporting of Toxics Release Data Under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Section 313</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, facilities must report to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program electronically via the Toxics Release Inventory-Made Easy Web application (TRI-MEweb) or by paper. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to require facilities to report non-confidential information via TRI-MEweb. Facilities reporting trade secrets would continue to file paper forms. The use of TRI-MEweb will help ensure data accuracy, while also enabling the Agency to more effectively provide the public with access to the latest TRI data on toxic chemical releases and other waste management within communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) Reporting for Facilities Located on Indian Country</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action corrects one error in 40 CFR Section 372.30(a) of the Code of Federal Regulations, by reinstating the previously promulgated amendment from 1990 which named tribes as the implementing authority for Title III within their jurisdiction. This portion of the amendment, Part 372.30(a) from July 26, 1990, specifically addresses the "whom" to where facilities located in Indian Country are to report, i.e., facilities on Indian Country need to submit their information to the tribal official rather than the State. This amendment did not officially become codified in the Federal Register, due to a transcription oversight. 

In the Federal Register of July 26, 1990 (55 FR 144), for 40 CFR part 355.20 and 372.30, EPA has appointed the Indian Tribe as the implementing authority for Title III on land on which it presides. This geographic area, defined as "Indian Country," is managed by the chief executive officer of the Tribe with the same responsibilities as a governor, as outlined by SARA Section 301. Since the 1990 amendment, EPA has delegated such oversight authority to Tribes for Title III within their jurisdiction. Given this, 40 CFR part 372.30(a) needs to be revised to include guidance for facilities located in Indian Country; EPA's Form R and Form R Schedule 1 must therefore be submitted to the official designated by the Chief Executive Officer of the tribe, as well as to EPA.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Articles Exemption Clarification Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting is required by Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act. The purpose of this rule is to clarify the scope of the exemption from TRI reporting requirements for items that qualify as articles. [See 40 CFR 372.38(b).] EPA believes that language contained in the regulation and subsequent guidance should be clarified for the regulated community concerning what items qualify as articles and are therefore exempt from TRI threshold determinations and TRI release and other waste management calculations and reporting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRI; Response to Petition To Delete Chromium, Antimony, Titanate From the Metal Compound Categories Listed on the Toxics Release Inventory</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will respond to a petition received by EPA to add diisononyl phthalate to the list of toxic chemicals reportable under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA). EPA will respond to the petition by either granting or denying the petition. If EPA grants the petition a notice of proposed rulemaking will be published in the Federal Register, if EPA denies the petition a notice of petition denial will be published. The addition of this chemical would make it subject to all the reporting requirements under the Toxic Chemical Release Reporting Rule.]]></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, EPA reviewed 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 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 the technology, economic conditions or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule. EPA is currently reviewing the public comments received in response to this review and is
developing a response to comment document, which will be posted in the docket (#EPA-OW-2010-0728) upon completion of this review by fall 2011. The docket can be accessed at www.regulations.gov.]]></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 (Pub. L. 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>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 better managing existing discharges.]]></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. Since then, a number of issues have been raised by stakeholders or identified by EPA in the implementation process that will benefit from clarification and greater
specificity.  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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to update specific elements of the existing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 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 35 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. Clean Water Act 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. 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 the Phase II rule 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
decision-making, 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. In July 2010, the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision upholding EPA's rule for new offshore oil and gas extraction facilities.
Further, the court granted the request of EPA and environmental petitioners in the case to remand the existing facility portion of the rule back to the Agency for further rulemaking. EPA expects this new rulemaking would apply to the approximately 1,200 existing electric generating and manufacturing plants. The Fifth Circuit also affirmed that EPA may consider costs in relation to benefits, but is not required to do so.

Recently, EPA entered into a settlement with the plaintiffs in two lawsuits related to section 316(b) rulemakings. Under the settlement agreement, as modified, EPA agreed to sign a notice of a proposed rulemaking implementing section 316(b) of the CWA at existing facilities no later than March 28, 2011 and to sign a notice taking final action on the proposed rule no later than July 27, 2012. Plaintiffs agreed to seek dismissal of both their suits,subject to a request to reopen the Cronin proceeding in the event EPA failed to meet the agreed deadlines.]]></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>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. Consistent with the joint federal strategy, the scope of the proposed rule will 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 manage 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[This action will address an error that was identified in the Effluent Limitations Guidelines for the Construction & Development (C&D) Point Source Category. The C&D rule was issued on December 1, 2009 and became effective on February 1, 2010. This rule contains a numeric effluent limit for turbidity, based on the application of passive treatment technology. This is the first time that a numeric limit has been imposed on a national basis. Subsequent to promulgation, EPA received two petitions for reconsideration of the C&D rule. The petitions pointed out a potential error in the calculation of the numeric limit. Based on EPA's examination of the underlying dataset, the calculations in the existing administrative record are not adequate to support the numeric effluent limit. Consequently, EPA intends to propose a correction rule for public comment and then take final action on a revised limitation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Regulatory Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 time frame. 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>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. Sources of these pollutants include airfield deicers and aircraft deicing fluid that is not properly recaptured, re-used, or treated before discharge. Aircraft deicing agents typically contain glycols and additives. There is great disparity among airports in terms of wastewater treatment and also in terms of discharge permits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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/or regulation; and (3) the rationale for selecting categories for further study and/or regulation. The 2010 Plan will also summarize activities and accomplishments for studies of categories that were identified in the 2008 Final Plan.]]></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 endrin and selenium.  As a result of the disapproval, EPA subsequently published a final rule effective February 5, 2001, making the following aquatic life criteria in 40 CFR Part 132.6 effective for waters of the Great Lakes System in the State of Wisconsin: 1) Chronic and acute copper and nickel in Tables 1 and 2 of 40 CFR Part 132.6(f); 2) chronic endrin in Table 2 of 40 CFR Part 132.6(f); and 3) Chronic selenium in Table 2 of 40 CFR Part 132.6(g).   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 revised 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 determined that these revised criteria adequately protect waters of the State at a level consistent with the federal requirements of the Clean Water Act and its
implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 131.  EPA proposed to withdraw its aquatic life criteria for chronic and acute copper and nickel (40 CFR Part 132.6(f)) in all surface waters of Wisconsin designated for aquatic life uses.  EPA also proposed to  amend  the chronic aquatic life criterion for endrin (40 CFR sec 132.6(f)) to apply exclusively to waters designated by Wisconsin a Warm Water Sportfish and Warm Water
Forage Fish aquatic life use, and selenium (40 CFR sec 132.6(g))  to apply exclusively to areas designated as Limited Forage Fish aquatic life use.  While EPA approved Wisconsin's revised chronic aquatic life criterion for endrin, the number published in Wisconsin's regulation at NR 105 for Warm Water Sportfish and War Water Forage Fish use is not identical to the number received and approved by EPA.   Therefore EPA will not withdraw the chronic endrin criterion for these uses at this
time.  The proposed withdrawal will enable Wisconsin to implement its EPA-approved aquatic life criteria in all waters of the State designated for aquatic life uses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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). The proposed regulation will meet the SDWA requirement for identifying new priority contaminants to be monitored during the third UCMR cycle (i.e., UCMR 3) of 2012-2015.]]></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>Withdrawal of Federal Water Quality Criteria for Certain States Covered Under EPA&apos;s 1992 National Toxics Rule (NTR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 1992 National Toxics Rule (NTR) promulgated for 14 States, the chemical-specific, numeric criteria for priority toxic pollutants necessary to bring all States into compliance with the requirements of section 303(c)(2)(B) of the Clean Water Act (CWA). States determined by EPA to fully comply with section 303(c)(2)(B) requirements were not affected by this rule. The rule addressed two situations. For a few States, EPA promulgated a limited number of criteria which were previously identified as necessary in disapproval letters to such States, and which the State had failed to address. For other States, Federal criteria were necessary for all priority toxic pollutants for which EPA had issued section 304(a) water quality criteria guidance and that were not the subject of approved State criteria. As States adopt and EPA approves criteria for priority toxic pollutants, states may be removed from the NTR via a Federal Rule Withdrawal. EPA is proposing to withdraw aquatic life cyanide (CN) criteria for San Francisco Bay and numerous numeric toxic criteria for New Jersey and Puerto Rico from the NTR. In 1992, the National Toxics Rule (NTR) promulgated these criteria for these states. In the case of California, the NTR promulgated CN criteria for San Francisco Bay. In 2008, California adopted site-specific CN criteria for San Francisco Bay and EPA Region 9 approved the criteria, subject to completion of the ESA consultation, pursuant to ESA section 7(d). In the cases of New Jersey and Puerto Rico, the NTR promulgated numerous numeric toxic criteria. In 2006, EPA Region 2 approved revisions to NJ WQS which contained the toxic criteria being withdrawn from the NTR today. Similarly, in 2010, EPA Region 2 approved revisions of numerous numeric toxic criteria in PR WQS. The proposed federal regulation withdrawal will enable California, New Jersey and Puerto Rico to implement the EPA-approved criteria in these instances.]]></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>

        <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 that would better articulate monitoring, reporting, and discharge obligations to provide better protection at reduced costs.  EPA is holding a meeting
with key stakeholders in July 2011 to discuss these issues.  EPA will develop a specific plan and schedule after the meeting has been held.]]></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, and on a revised proposed policy on December 22, 2005.  EPA did not finalize the policy. The policy options associated with this
activity are still under review.  EPA is holding a meeting with key stakeholders in July 2011 to discuss the issues addressed in the draft policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for Chlorine and Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Manufacturing Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering revising the existing effluent guidelines and standards for the manufacture of chlorinated hydrocarbons and elemental chlorine. We refer to this industrial segment as chlorine and chlorinated hydrocarbons manufacturing, or CCH. Currently, wastewater discharges from chlorinated hydrocarbons manufacturing are subject to the Organic Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers (OCPSF) Point Source Category (40 CFR part 414). The wastewater discharges from chlorine manufacturing through the chlor-alkali manufacturing process are subject to the Inorganic Chemicals Point Source Category (40 CFR part 415). Based on a preliminary study, discharges from vinyl chloride and chlor-alkali manufacturing might contain significant quantities of toxic pollutants, including dioxin. Since this effluent guidelines review began, EPA has gathered industry data through site visits and sampling and also developed a survey to collect detailed site-specific data from all known CCH manufacturers. EPA is deferring its efforts to survey the CCH industry until the Agency completes its review of data collected by the industry to quantify dioxin discharges.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency announced in February 2011 that it is beginning development of a national drinking water regulation for perchlorate in drinking water. SDWA Section 1412(b)(1)-(6) describes EPA's requirements for regulating contaminants. In accordance with these requirements, the Agency will evaluate the health effects of perchlorate, the feasibility of treatment, the affordability of treatment for small systems, the costs and the benefits (as part of the Health Risk Reduction Cost Analysis), and implementation of a perchlorate standard. EPA also plans to seek input through informal and formal processes from the Science Advisory Board, the National Drinking Water Advisory Council, the Department of Health and Human Services, State and Tribal drinking water programs, the regulated community (public water systems), public health organizations, academia, environmental and public interest groups, and other interested stakeholders on a number of issues relating to the regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Group Regulation of Carcinogenic Volatile Organic Compound (VOCs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency announced in February 2011 that it plans to develop one national drinking water regulation (NDWR) covering up to 16 carcinogenic VOCs. EPA will propose a regulation to address carcinogenic contaminants as groups rather than individually in order to provide public health protections more quickly and also allow utilities to more effectively and efficiently plan for improvements. PCE and TCE, which the Agency determined were candidates for regulatory revision under the second six year review of the existing NPDWRs will be included in the VOC drinking water standard. Besides PCE and TCE, the group may include up to six additional regulated VOCs - benzene; carbon tetrachloride; 1,2-dichloroethane; 1,2-dichloropropane; dichloromethane; vinyl chloride; and up to eight unregulated VOCs from the EPA's Contaminant Candidate List 3 - aniline; benzyl chloride; 1,3-butadiene; 1,1-dichloroethane; nitrobenzene; oxirane methyl; 1,2,3-trichloropropane and urethane. SDWA Section 1412(b)(1)-(6) describes EPA's requirements for regulating contaminants. In accordance with these requirements, the Agency will evaluate the health effects of carcinogenic VOCs, the feasibility of treatment, the affordability of treatment for small systems, the costs and the benefits (as part of the Health Risk Reduction Cost Analysis), and implementation of a carcinogenic standard. EPA also plans to seek input through informal and formal processes from the Science Advisory Board, the National Drinking Water Advisory Council, the Department of Health and Human Services, State and Tribal drinking water programs, the regulated community (public water systems), public health organizations, academia, environmental and public interest groups, and other interested stakeholders on a number of issues relating to the VOCs group regulation and PCE and TCE rule revisions.]]></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>

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>Water Quality Standards (Numeric Nutrient Criteria) for Florida&apos;s Lakes and Flowing Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 14, 2010, EPA promulgated water quality standards in the State of Florida that established numeric criteria for nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in lakes and springs throughout the State and in flowing waters outside of the South Florida Region. This final rule seeks to improve water quality and protect public health, aquatic life and the long term recreational uses of Florida's waters, which are a critical part of the State's economy. EPA proposed numeric nutrient standards for lakes and flowing waters in Florida on January 14, 2010. The Agency conducted 13 well-attended public hearing sessions in six cities in Florida and held a 90-day public comment period inviting broad public participation. EPA received over 22,000 public comments on the proposal. On August 3, 2010, EPA published a notice supplementing the January 2010 proposed rule, based upon comments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 12, 2000, Congress passed HR 4577 which contains a section called "Certain Alaskan Cruise Ship Operations" (Title XIV). Title XIV establishes enforceable discharge standards for sewage and gray water 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 no longer intends to develop and propose revised and/or additional standards.]]></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 considered, and solicited comments on, the following factors: (1) the continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule. The comment period closed July 31, 2010. EPA received no comments, and the Agency has concluded that the rule needs no revisions at this time to minimize the impacts on small entities. The rule will remain in effect without modification.

The Docket ID number is EPA-HQ-OW-2010-0169. EPA summarized the results of the review in a report, which is available in the rulemaking docket referenced above. You can access that docket at www.regulations.gov.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Perchlorate Regulatory Determination</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 11, 2011 (76 FR 7762) EPA made a final regulatory determination that perchlorate meets the Safe Drinking Water Act's (SDWA's) criteria for regulating a contaminant. 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, second and third CCLs that were published in the Federal Register on March 2, 1998 (63 FR 10273), February 24, 2005 (70 FR 9071) and October 8, 2009 (74 FR 51850), respectively.]]></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 the effectiveness and toxicity testing protocols required for adding a product to the Schedule. 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>Addition of Vapor Intrusion Component to the Hazard Ranking System (HRS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Hazard Ranking System (HRS), required by the Superfund statute, is the primary mechanism used by EPA to assess the relative threat associated with actual or potential releases of hazardous substances. As a matter of Agency policy, those sites that score 28.50 or greater under the HRS are eligible for inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is intended primarily to guide the EPA in determining which sites warrant further investigation. A score of 28.50 does not
represent a specified level of risk but is a cutoff point that serves as a screening-level indicator of the highest priority releases or threatened releases. The HRS includes four scoring pathways - ground water, surface water, air and soil exposure.

Additional pathways have been identified as posing significant threats to human health and the environment that should be considered when evaluating sites for the NPL. One such pathway is vapor intrusion. Vapor intrusion occurs when contaminants enter into indoor spaces, generally residences, from environmental sources such as contaminated ground water or contaminated soil. Over the past decade EPA and state environmental programs have learned significantly more information regarding the risk
that this pathway poses to human health. Historically, EPA's Superfund program has responded to vapor intrusion contamination by two mechanisms: (1) through its emergency response program at sites not on the NPL, or (2) through sites placed on the NPL because of other pathway-related risks.

In a May 2010 report, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) concluded that if vapor intrusion sites are not assessed and, if needed, listed on the NPL, some seriously contaminated hazardous waste sites with unacceptable human exposure may not otherwise be cleaned up. Thus, EPA is considering adding a new HRS pathway so that sites with vapor intrusion contamination can be evaluated for inclusion on the NPL.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>CERCLA/EPCRA Reporting Requirements for Air Releases of Hazardous Substances From Animal Waste at Farms</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 18, 2008, EPA published a Final Rule, "CERCLA/EPCRA Administrative Reporting Exemption for Air Releases of Hazardous Substances from Animal Waste at Farms (73 FR 76948) ("the Final Rule"). The Final Rule established exemptions from certain reporting requirements under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), and the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA). 

On January 15, 2009, Waterkeeper Alliance, Sierra Club, the Humane Society of the United States, Environmental Integrity Project, the Center for Food Safety, and Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future (collectively, "Waterkeeper") filed a Petition for Review of the Final Rule. The petition challenged the exemptions under both CERCLA and EPCRA. 

On March 17, 2009, the National Pork Producers Council filed its Petition for Review challenging a portion of the Final Rule that amended the EPCRA regulations. The two cases were consolidated. On February 11, 2009, the National Chicken Council, National Turkey Federation, and U.S. Poultry & Egg Association moved to intervene on behalf of EPA to assert their interests in the Final Rule. Since August 25, 2009, this case has been held in abeyance so that the Parties could participate in the D.C. Circuit Mediation Program. The mediation process did not resolve the issues raised by all of the Parties, but it did raise issues warranting reconsideration of the final rule by EPA. As such, EPA sought and received a voluntary remand, without vacature of the Final Rule during the reevaluation period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act: Modification to the Threshold Planning Quantity Methodology for the Extremely Hazardous Substances That are Solids in Solution</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering an alternative approach for the threshold planning quantity (TPQ) for chemicals on the Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs) 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 revising the TPQ for solids in solution. EPA is pursuing this 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 has evaluated various experimental data for accidental air releases of solutions containing solid chemicals when developing revised TPQs. EPA is also considering public comment on the appropriateness of considering aerosol size as a factor for potential off-site exposure to communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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 (as referred to as 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>

        <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>Land Disposal Restrictions: Revision of the Treatment Standard for Carbamates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency is considering revising the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) treatment standards for hazardous wastes from the production of carbamates and carbamate commercial chemical products that become hazardous wastes when they are discarded or intended to be discarded. There may be no analytical standards available with which to measure compliance with the LDR requirements. An analytical standard is a reference material with a known concentration of a target chemical that is used to calibrate analytical instruments in order to confirm detection and quantification of that chemical. Currently under the LDR program, most carbamate wastes must be treated to meet numeric concentration limits before the wastes can be land disposed. The lack of analytical standards makes it impossible to measure whether the numeric concentration limits have been met. Therefore, we are considering providing as an alternative standard the use of the best demonstrated available technologies for treating these wastes. This will provide significant treatment to minimize threats to human health and the environment while avoiding the problems that result from the lack of analytical standards to determine if the numeric concentration limits have been met. In addition, we are considering removing hazardous carbamate wastes from the table of Universal Treatment Standards at 40 CFR 268.48. By doing so, these wastes would not be classified as underlying hazardous constituents that require treatment to meet numeric concentration limits in wastes that display the characteristic of ignitability, reactivity, corrosivity or toxicity at the point of generation. This overall action would allow hazardous waste management facilities to certify that wastes have been treated in compliance with applicable LDR requirements. These facilities face potential curtailment of operations when they are unable to demonstrate waste and treatment residual content through analytical testing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revising Underground Storage Tank Regulations--Revisions to Existing Requirements and New Requirements for Secondary Containment and Operator Training</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 and operator training. 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. 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[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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 108(b) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, establishes certain authorities concerning financial responsibility requirements. The Agency has identified classes of facilities within the chemical manufacturing industry; the petroleum and coal products manufacturing industry, which primarily includes refineries and not coal mines; and the electric power generation, transmission, and distribution industry as those for which it plans to develop, as necessary, proposed financial responsibility requirements. EPA intends to include requirements for financial responsibility, as well as notification and implementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Contingency Plan Revisions to Align With the National Response Framework</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>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 (RCRA). 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 the 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 March 4, 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. 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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Identification of Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials That Are Solid Wastes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is defining 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 either the emissions standards under sections 112 or 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>

        <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 removed 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Review Under CAA Section 111(b)(1)(B)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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 PAD have been completed and a meeting to discuss the final PAD by CASAC will be held on February 15-16, 2011. The court ordered date for the proposed rulemaking to be signed is July 12, 2011 with final rulemaking on March 20, 2012.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers Production, Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will promulgate National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Copolymers. These standards were proposed on December 8, 2000 (65 FR 76958) and promulgated on July 10, 2002 (67 FR 45886) but were vacated by the D.C. Circuit on June 18, 2004 in Mossville Environmental Action v. EPA, 370 F.3d 1232 (D.C.Cir. 2004). This current action assures continuity of the parts of the standard that were upheld by the court, and addresses the component of these standards, regarding the use of vinyl chloride as a surrogate for all other HAP, that was not upheld by the court. Data that is gathered from this industry which will include an information request and source testing of the manufacturing process, will assist in compiling a list of HAP from PVC and copolymer production industry other than vinyl chloride; assessing control measures; determining whether using vinyl chloride as surrogate; and developing new standards for this source category.]]></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 several 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 HFPE's 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>NSPS &amp; EG 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--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>

        <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. The action would also adopt updated ICAO recommended practices such as amended test procedures and definitions. These NOx standards and recommended practices 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.]]></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>Implementation of the 2011 National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Ozone and Anti-Backsliding Requirements for the Section 185 Fee Program for Purposes of the 1-hour Ozone NAAQS</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This NPRM will establish rules and policies for implementing a reconsidered 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard. This implementation rule would address the classification system for designated nonattainment areas, as well as a number of implementation requirements under the Clean Air Act, including requirements for state implementation plan (SIP) elements (attainment demonstration, reasonable further progress, reasonably available control technology, reasonably available control measures, nonattainment new source review, emission inventory, and others), timing (SIP submissions, compliance, attainment dates), and other topics. The NPRM also addresses anti-backsliding requirements for the section 185 fee program as it applies for the 1-hour ozone standard.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>In-Use Emissions Testing for Nonroad Diesel Engines and Amendments to General Compliance Provisions for Nonroad Engines</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 From Coal- and Oil-fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units and Standards of Performance for 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. 

Under this action EPA will also propose amendments to the criteria pollutant new source performance standards (NSPS) for utilities. On February 27, 2006, EPA promulgated amendments to the utility NSPS and was subsequently sued by multiple state attorney general offices and environmental organizations. On September 2, 2009, EPA was granted a voluntary remand without vacatur of the 2006 amendments. Combining the two rules is a single action provides interested parties the opportunity to provide coments on the combined requirements of the 2 rules. It also avoids double counting either costs or environmental benefits of the separate rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Compliance Data Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA published an ANPRM in October 2009 seeking comment on proposed approaches to improving the emissions factors program. The agency sought comment on acquiring data for the development or improvement of the emissions factors; specifically, proposing to require the submission (via electronic reporting) of performance testing information already collected by industry by revising the reporting requirements in 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63 (NSPS and NESHAP). Performance tests are conducted periodically to measure the air pollutant emissions from an industrial process and are used as an indicator of compliance with regulations. In addition to performance test data, this rulemaking will require the electronic submission of other selected compliance data, such as excess emissions reports, that are already being complied and submitted by industry to regulatory authorities. These data will be used for regulation development, control strategy development, rule effectiveness studies, risk analyses, and other air pollution control activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants</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. Because the existing regulations are narrow in scope, the reviews will include consideration of broadening the scope of operations and emission points covered by the NSPS and MACT.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP Standard Standards for Petroleum Refineries--Heat Exchanger Reconsideration and Uniform Standards</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>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 and may apply to other 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).

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend regulations in the General Provisions of regulations promulgated under the Clean Air Act (subpart A of Part 63) that provide for or are related to an exemption from the requirement to comply with Clean Air Act section 112 emission standards during startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) events. On December 19, 2008, in Sierra Club v. EPA, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the SSM. These General Provisions are not specific to any source category and apply when incorporated into source category-specific standards. In addition, other subparts with similar provisions will be amended so that applicable standards will no longer have exceptions for sources that report malfunction conditions, to reflect the court vacatur.]]></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>Issues for Implementation of the 1997 PM2.5 and Ozone NAAQS</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This NPRM 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is the Risk and Technology Review (RTR) for Ferroalloys Production. 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 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.]]></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 the 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 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>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 clarifications to the existing rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

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[EPA is proposing a rule based on the results of its reconsideration of the final rule titled, "Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Reconsideration of Inclusion of Fugitive Emissions" (Fugitive Emissions Rule), published on December 19, 2008. 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 of the Fugitive Emissions Rule provisions. In subsequent actions, EPA extended the stay to provide enough time to propose, take public comment on, and issue a final action pursuant to the reconsideration of the Fugitive Emissions Rule. In this action 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Joint Rulemaking to Establish 2017 and Later Model Year Light Duty Vehicle GHG Emissions and CAFE Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are developing a joint rulemaking to propose GHG and CAFE standards for model years 2017-2025 light-duty vehicles. This action represents a continuation of a coordinated National Program under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), to improve fuel efficiency and to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of light-duty vehicles. This rulemaking follows a September 30, 2010 joint Notice of Intent to issue a proposed rule that: (1) Announced plans for setting stringent fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles of model year 2017 and beyond; (2) described the agencies' initial assessment of potential levels of stringency for a National Program for model years 2017-2025; and (3) described additional work that the agencies will undertake in developing the NPRM. In addition, the agencies issued a joint Supplemental Notice on November 30, 2010, summarizing the key themes that we heard from stakeholders, both in the public comments and in the outreach meetings. The Supplemental Notice also described plans for continued analyses for purposes of developing the proposed rule. These actions respond to a May 21, 2010 Presidential Memorandum requesting that EPA and NHTSA develop a coordinated National Program to improve fuel efficiency and reduce GHG emissions from light-duty vehicles for the 2017-2025 model years, building on the success of the model year 2012-2016 standards issued by the agencies in April 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This amendment will be a policy update of a rule from several decades ago. It will amend the Part 52 Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans, 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments to Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) 52.21(u) Delegation of Authority. This rule will delete a section that restricts tribes from taking delegation of the PSD program. It will add tribes to paragraph 2 along with states and local air pollution control agencies. These changes are intended to ensure that tribes are treated the same as states and locals and to enable direct delegation of New Source Review to tribes. This rule will also update paragraph numbering and an erroneous cross reference to be consistent with the current program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reconsideration of Final National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines--Compression Ignition</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 3, 2010, EPA issued a final rule establishing standards for emissions of hazardous air pollutants from existing stationary diesel engines located at major and area sources. The final rule revised the requirements for emergency stationary engines to allow operation for up to 15 hours per year in emergency demand response, if needed to maintain stability in the grid, as determined by the regional transmission organization. EPA has received two petitions to reconsider this decision to allow 15 hours of operation for emergency demand response for emergency stationary engines. On December 7, 2010, EPA issued a Federal Register notice announcing our decision to grant reconsideration and soliciting information and public comments on the emergency demand response issue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Residual Risk and Technology Review for Secondary Lead Smelters NESHAP</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is the Risk and Technology Review (RTR) for Secondary Lead Smelters. 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 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.

 The MACT standards for Secondary Lead Smelters, which are also known as the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Secondary Lead Smelters, were promulgated on June 23, 1995 under Clean Air Act Section 112(d). The standards establish emission limitations and work practice standards for all new and existing secondary lead smelters that produce refined lead from lead scrap, mainly recycled spent lead acid batteries. The RTRs for secondary lead smelters will be conducted in this rulemaking. These reviews will address possible residual risks, technology advancements, and technical deficiencies in the existing NESHAP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Response to the Section 126 Petitions From New Jersey</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule responds to Clean Air Act section 126 petitions filed by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). New Jersey has submitted two petitions asking EPA to make a formal, legal finding that a particular power plant in Pennsylvania is polluting the air in New Jersey, making it harder for New Jersey to meet national standards for particulate matter and sulphur dioxide. This rule will either grant or deny the petition. If EPA grants the petition, the power plant could be required to install pollution control equipment to lower emissions.

NJDEP submitted its first petition to EPA requesting a finding that the Portland Power Plant in Northampton County, Pennsylvania contributes significantly to NJ's ability to attain and maintain the 24-hour PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the 3-hour and 24-hour SO2 NAAQS. NJDEP submitted a second petition requesting a finding that the Portland plant contributes significantly to NJ's ability to attain and maintain the new 75 ppb 1-hour SO2 NAAQS. This action will constitute EPA's response to those petitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action re-proposes the Confidential Business Information (CBI) determinations for certain source categories in the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program that were finalized in the fall of 2010. A proposed determination regarding whether the data reporting elements would be made available to the public or be entitled to confidential treatment was originally proposed in July 2010 (75 FR 39094, July 7, 2010). For a limited number of source categories, these proposed determinations were based on proposed rules that had not yet been finalized. Because these source categories have now been finalized, and because the data reporting elements have changed significantly since proposal, EPA is re-proposing the confidentiality determinations for these source categories.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Correction To Insert Credible Evidence Language Missing From the Compliance Certification Provisions for Operating Permits Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will amend the compliance certification provisions to restore a sentence removed by error in a previous amendment. The June 27, 2003, final rule that amended the Compliance Certification Requirements language inadvertently omitted the following sentence: "If necessary, the owner or operator also shall identify any other material information that must be included in the certification to comply with section 113(c)(2) of the Act, which prohibits knowingly making a false certification or omitting material information." The Inspector General (IG) report strongly recommends that the language should be restored to maximize the effectiveness of "all credible evidence" regulations. EPA agrees with the recommendation and is taking action to correct this error by restoring the omitted sentence in the rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to NESHAP for Area Sources: Plating and Polishing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 12, 2008, EPA issued national emission standards for control of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) for the plating and polishing area source category under section 112 of the Clean Air Act. In this action, EPA is taking direct final action to amend the national emission standards for HAP (NESHAP) for the plating and polishing area source category. These final amendments clarify that the emission control requirements of the plating and polishing area source NESHAP do not apply to any bench-scale activities. Also, several technical corrections and clarifications that do not make significant changes in the rule's requirements have been made to the rule text. We are making these amendments by direct final rule, without prior proposal, because we view these revisions as noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse comments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petroleum Refinery Sector Risk and Technology Review and NSPS</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is the Risk and Technology Review (RTR) for Petroleum Refinery MACT 1 and 2 source categories.   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. Additionally, we are also in the process addressing issues related to the reconsideration of Petroleum Refinery New Source Performance
Standard (NSPS) Subpart Ja.

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.  Section 111(b)(1)(B) of the CAA mandates that EPA review and, if appropriate, revise existing NSPS every 8 years.

Our efforts will focus on gathering comprehensive information on petroleum refineries that will allow us to complete the RTR reviews.  We intend to use information obtained through the comprehensive information collection process to address NSPS Ja reconsideration issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2012 Renewable Fuel Volume Standards as Required by Energy Independence and Security Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), EPA finalized the RFS2 program regulations. However, under EISA, the Environmental Protection Agency 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 annually. 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. Further, the Act requires the Administrator to promulgate rules establishing the applicable volumes of biomass-based diesel for 2013 and beyond and to do so no later than 14 months before the first year for which such applicable volume will apply. Therefore, this action will also propose and finalize, at minimum, the 2013 biomass based diesel (BBD) volume along with all the 2012 standards. This regulatory action will establish, as required, the annual statutory volume requirements for the RFS2 fuel categories (cellulosic, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and renewable fuel) that apply to all gasoline and diesel produced or imported in 2012 and set, at minimum, the 2013 BBD requirement. Entities potentially effected 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 Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines; Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is taking direct final action to promulgate amendments to the final national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for existing stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines. The final rule was published on August 20, 2010. This direct final action amends certain regulatory text to clarify compliance requirements related to continuous parametric monitoring systems. EPA granted a 90-day stay of these requirements on January 19, 2011 and is seeking to clarify the requirements prior to the stay ending on April 19, 2011. EPA is also correcting minor typographical errors in the regulatory text to the August 20, 2010 action. We would like for the direct final rule to be effective when the 90-day stay expires on April 19, 2011, therefore, this action must be signed by the Administrator and published in the Federal Register by February 18, 2011 in order to provide 60 days for the public comment period prior to the direct final rule becoming effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: The 2012 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 2012 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 2012. Absent this rulemaking, production and import of methyl bromide for critical uses would be zero for 2012. 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 22nd Meeting of the Parties.]]></ABSTRACT>

The SNAP Program evaluates substitutes for ozone-depleting substances and publishes lists of acceptable and unacceptable substitutes. The intended effect of the SNAP Program is to support the transition away from ozone-depleting substances through review of substitutes and their effects on human health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2011 Technical Corrections, Clarifying and Other and Amendments to Certain Provisions of the Mandatory Reporting of
Greenhouse Gases Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would make technical corrections and other minor amendments to requirements of the Greenhouse Gas Mandatory Reporting rules that were finalized in 2010. The corrections and amendments are mostly clarifying in nature to ensure that the rules can be implemented by owners and operators of facilities as intended and will address questions raised by reporters during implementation. This action would make relatively minor changes that ease implementation. It would not fundamentally change the structure of the program or its requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will establish new standards for light-duty vehicles and their fuels in order to reduce emissions of criteria and toxic pollutants and their impact on air quality and health. This action will set forth a comprehensive approach toward regulating motor vehicles for non-greenhouse gas pollutants, as requested by a May 2010 Presidential memorandum. In addition, the Clean Air Act requires EPA to consider whether there will be adverse air quality effects of the renewable fuel volumes required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and to issue fuels standards to mitigate them; this rule will quantify the impacts of renewable fuels on air quality and health and its standards will help mitigate these impacts. The standards in this rule will lead to reductions in ozone, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and mobile source air toxics.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Risk and Technology Review (RTR) for the Mineral Wool and Wool Fiberglass Industries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The MACT standard for Mineral Wool Production was promulgated on June 1, 1999 (64 FR 29490), and the MACT for Wool Fiberglass Production was promulgated on June 14, 1999 (64 FR 31695). The Clean Air Act requires EPA to evaluate the risk remaining to human health within 8 years of promulgation of each MACT standard; for these regulations, that date expired in June 2007. Along with risk, the EPA is also required to review new technology in the industry that can reduce hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from regulated sources in the industry, and may consider costs under this technology review. EPA is addressing these Clean Air Act requirements under a combined risk and technology review (RTR).

EPA was petitioned to review the risk for these source categories, and also to determine MACT floors for pollutants and processes that were not regulated by the MACT standards. The court entered into an agreement with EPA and the litigants, and the resulting deadline for proposal and promulgation of these RTRs is October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2012, respectively.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Residual Risk and Technology Review Amendments to the Primary Aluminum Reduction NESHAP</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The existing National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants (found in 40 CFR part 63, subpart LL) applies to the owner or operator of each new pitch storage tank or new or existing potline, paste production plant, or anode bake furnace associated with primary aluminum production and located at a major source as defined in 40 CFR section 63.2. The existing subpart LL does not apply to any existing anode bake furnace that is not located on the same site as a primary aluminum reduction plant.

Section 112(f)(2) of the CAA directs EPA to conduct risk assessments on each source category subject to maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards pursuant to a NESHAP and determine if additional standards are needed to protect human health. The section 112(f)(2) residual risk review of a source category is to be performed within 8 years after promulgation of the associated NESHAP.

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 reviews of a NESHAP are to be performed no less often than every 8 years after promulgation of that NESHAP. The NESHAP for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants was first promulgated in 1997.

The amendments will address possible residual risks and advancements in technology.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Portland Cement Manufacturing NESHAP and NSPS--Proposed Amendments as a Result of Reconsideration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 9, 2010 EPA promulgated final amendments to the Portland cement National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) rules regulating emissions of air toxics and criteria pollutants. These amendments applied to all cement kilns that do not burn waste materials. (Cement kilns that burn waste are regulated by separate rules covering hazardous waste combustors and commercial and industrial solid waste incinerators). Subsequent to promulgation of the September 9 rule, we received four petitions for reconsideration, two from environmental groups and two from the Portland cement industry. In this action, we will first issue a notice stating whether we plan to grant or deny the petitions. If our response includes any rule amendments, we will subsequently propose and finalize those amendments.  The action may also include any corrections and clarifications discovered to be necessary after promulgation of the September 2010 amendments. We do not anticipate any significant changes in rule stringency as part of this action.

We also received 20 petitions for judicial review of the September 9, 2010 final action. We anticipate that these petitions will continue to go forward even as we reconsider some parts of the rule. We are assuming that legal action on portions of the rule that are being reconsidered will be held in abeyance until the      reconsideration is complete.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Permits for the Tribal Minor New Source Review Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Tribal Minor New Source Review (NSR) program applies to new and modified minor sources and minor modifications at major sources in Indian Country. The program is implemented through issuance of pre-construction permits that can include, among other requirements, pollutant emission limits for minor sources and voluntary emission limitations on the potential-to-emit of sources that would otherwise be considered major sources. It uses general permits, which may be applied to a number of similar emission units or stationary sources, to simplify permit application and issuance so that a reviewing authority's limited resource needs not be expended for the review of site-specific permits. A general permit may be written to address a single emissions unit, a group of the same type of emissions units, or an entire category of minor sources. General permits offer a cost-effective means of issuing permits and provide a quicker and simpler alternative mechanism for permitting minor sources than the site-specific permitting process. This action proposes general permits for the following five source categories: gas stations, dry cleaners, autobody shops, hot mix asphalt plants, and rock crushing facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Health and Environmental Protection Standards for Uranium and Thorium Mill Tailings and Uranium In Situ Leaching Processing Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA's regulations in 40 CFR 192 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>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 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 carbon monoxide (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>

The major NSR rule would require sources to install emissions controls that meet the requirements of Lowest Achievable Emission Rate control technology, obtain emissions offsets, certify compliance and complete a net air quality benefit analysis; while the minor NSR rule includes, among various other requirements, pollutant emissions limits for minor sources and voluntary emissions limitations on the potential to emit of sources that would otherwise be considered to be major sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking adds a procedure 3 to appendix F of 40 CFR part 60. This action provides quality assurance specifications for continuous opacity monitor system (COMS) installed for compliance. States may also cite this procedure for sources with installed COMS subject to compliance limitations. Minimum quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) requirements are specified to assess the quality of COMS performance. Daily zero and span checks, quarterly performance audits, and annual zero alignment checks are required in order to assure the proper functioning of the COMS and the accuracy of the COMS data.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA["Dumping" refers to the practice whereby refiners making clean fuels for certain markets (such as reformulated gasoline for clean-air purposes) take the pollutants removed from the clean fuels and "dump" them into other fuels they are producing for other markets. This, if allowed, would make those other fuels even dirtier than before, and so the Clean Air Act prohibits this practice. EPA has existing "anti-dumping" rules on the books that codify this Clean Air Act prohibition. This regulation is a minor technical amendment to those existing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Component Durability Procedures for New Light Duty Vehicles, Light Duty Trucks &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: 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>

        <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[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[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>

This exclusion of oxygenate is already allowed for a refinery's gasoline to which oxygenate was added outside of the refinery gate. This rule will have limited application, and could provide relief to small refiners.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations; Printing and Publishing; Pharmaceuticals Production and Group I Polymers and Resins</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 March 31, 2011, respectively.  The Polymers and Resins portion of this action previously listed as RIN 2060-AQ61 has been merged into this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the 1997 8-Hr Ozone NAAQS:   Classification of Subpart 1 Areas and Revision to AntiBacksliding 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 last 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 believed that certain changes were needed in the ozone minimum monitoring requirements to account for the 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). EPA proposed such monitoring network design changes on July 16, 2009 (74 FR 34525) which included: (1) Changes to minimum monitoring requirements in urban areas, (2) new monitoring requirements in non-urban areas, and (3) revisions to the length of the ozone monitoring season where indicated by statistical analysis. 

In this rulemaking, EPA will finalize changes to ozone monitoring requirements based on public comments received from the 2009 proposal, technical analysis of updated ozone monitoring data covering the period of 2007-2009, and selected use of new data for 2010 that was referenced in a Notice of Data Availability published on November 10, 2010 (75 FR 69036)]]></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 vacated 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to set national emissions standards under section 202 (a) of the Clean Air Act to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from medium- and heavy-duty engines and 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 21, 2010. EPA and NHTSA published a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register on November 30, 2010 (75 FR 74152, November 30, 2010). This rulemaking would significantly reduce GHG emissions from future medium- and 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 that greenhouse gases are air pollutants under the Clean Air Act, and that EPA therefore has a duty to determine, based solely on scientific considerations, whether that air pollution endangers public health or welfare. EPA has since determined that six greenhouse gases taken in combination endanger the public health and welfare and that the combined emissions from new motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines contribute to the greenhouse gas air pollution that endangers public health and welfare. This rulemaking also follows the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking "Regulating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Under the Clean Air Act," (73 FR 44354, July 20, 2008).]]></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>Reconsideration of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source Review NSR: Aggregation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final on reconsideration will address 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. 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 CAA. 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 until May 18, 2010 to allow time to conduct the reconsideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing uses that qualify for the 2011 critical use exemption and the amount of methyl bromide that may be produced, imported, or supplied from existing pre-phaseout inventory for those uses in 2011. EPA is taking action under the authority of the Clean Air Act to reflect a recent consensus decision taken by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer at the Twenty-First Meeting of the Parties. EPA is seeking comment on the list of critical uses and on EPA's determination of the amounts of methyl bromide needed to satisfy those uses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Motor Vehicle Fuel Economy Label</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is responsible for developing the fuel economy labels that are posted on window stickers of all new light duty cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 imposed several new labeling requirements on NHTSA and EPA, including introducing environmental metrics on vehicle labels. Additionally, increasing market penetration of advanced technology vehicles, such as electric, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, will require new metrics to effectively convey information to consumers. EPA and NHTSA are thus jointly developing new labeling requirements, which will help consumers to make more informed vehicle purchase decisions, particularly as the future automotive marketplace provides more diverse vehicle technology choices for consumers. These new label requirements do not affect the methodologies used by EPA to generate consumer fuel economy estimates, nor automaker compliance values for NHTSA's corporate average fuel economy and EPA's greenhouse gas emissions standards.]]></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 help mitigate misfueling by prohibiting the use of E10+ in vehicles/engines not approved to use E10+ and by requiring an E15 misfueling mitigation program. This rulemaking also proposes to modify the Reformulated Gasoline 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 make and 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 recent E15 partial waiver decisions in response to a waiver request under the Clean Air Act section 211(f)(4) which allow for E15 to be introduced into commerce for use in some vehicles/engines. Such a waiver and the expansion of blenderpumps create a need for a misfueling mitigation program to ensure that consumers do not fuel their vehicles or engines with unapproved fuels.]]></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 5 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>

In the process of assessing these fuels, the Agency is issuing determinations through several supplemental notices to the final rule.]]></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>Reasonable Further Progress Requirements for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action revises the rules for implementing the 8-hour ozone NAAQS to address the requirement for nonattainment areas to achieve continued emissions reductions until the area attains the ozone standards. The rules revise and clarify the conditions under which emissions reductions from sources located outside the nonattainment area may be credited toward meeting the requirement for achieving reasonable further progress in emissions reductions. This rulemaking is not anticipated to result in new policy considerations or significant costs to either sources or states.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Determinations Concerning Need for Error Correction, Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval, and Federal Implementation Plan Regarding Texas Prevention of Significant Deterioration Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed a rule that addresses prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) permitting for greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sources in Texas. EPA has identified that it made an error in granting full approval of Texas's PSD program in 1992, and is using the error correction provisions under the Clean Air Act to convert that full approval to a partial approval and partial disapproval. In the same notice, EPA also proposed to implement a federal implementation plan (FIP) to apply the PSD program to newly regulated pollutants, specifically GHG. EPA is concurrently promulgating these actions in an interim final rule. The proposal allowed EPA to take public notice and comment and issue a final rule by May 1, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Reconsideration of Inclusion of Fugitive Emissions; Stay and Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking effectuates a stay of the final rule titled, "Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Reconsideration of Inclusion of Fugitive Emissions" (Fugitive Emissions Rule), published on December 19, 2008. That rule required that fugitive emissions be included in determining whether a physical or operational change results in a major modification only for sources in industries that have been designated by the Clean Air Act. This rule supersedes the stay of the Fugitive Emissions Rule provisions issued on March 31, 2010, and thereby corrects inadvertent errors contained in that stay. This action also extends the stay until EPA completes its reconsideration of the Fugitive Emissions Rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, EPA is making a technical change to the regulatory text as amended in the final rule "Limitation of Approval of Prevention of Significant Deterioration Provisions Concerning Greenhouse Gas Emitting-Sources in State Implementation Plans" to amend regulatory text cross-referencing portions of Oklahoma's State Implementation Plan (SIP).

        <RULE_TITLE>Change to the Reporting Date for Certain Data Elements Required Under the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2009, EPA finalized the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule, which requires sources in certain industrial sectors above certain threshold levels to monitor and report their GHG information. Under the GHG Reporting Program, sources must report their 2010 emissions by September 30, 2011. EPA is taking action to defer certain reporting requirements through an interim final action and a concurrent proposal and subsequent final action. EPA proposes to defer the date
that entities report certain data to EPA until March 31, 2014. In the interim final rule, EPA defers the date of reporting of some of these data on a short-term basis. These actions do not change any other requirements of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (40 CFR Part 98) including the requirement that reporters continuously maintain accurate records of these and all other data.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Adjustments to the Allowance System for Controlling HCFC Production, Import, and Export
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2009, EPA finalized a rule allocating hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) allowances for 2010-2014 (74 FR 66412). Two allowance holders challenged how EPA established the baselines for HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Court vacated the rule in part and remanded it to EPA. This interim final rulemaking responds to the Court's decision by establishing baseline and annual allowances for the 2011 control period. EPA intends to issue a separate notice and comment rulemaking to address future control periods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Final Regulation Extending the Reporting Deadline for Year 2010 Data Elements Required Under the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2009, EPA finalized the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, which requires sources in certain industrial sectors above certain threshold levels to monitor and report their activities. Under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, sources must report their 2010 emissions by March 31, 2011. In this final rule, EPA is extending the deadline for entities to report their 2010 data to EPA until September 30, 2011. This will enable EPA to incorporate various late changes to the Rule into development of the Rule's required electronic reporting tool and allow additional internal and stakeholder testing of the tool.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reconsideration of Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NESHAP for Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources was promulgated on October 29, 2009. The standards included requirements for nine source categories in one subpart. On February 12, 2010, EPA received a petition for reconsideration from the American Chemistry Council and the Society of Chemical Manufacturers & Affiliates. The petitioners requested that EPA republish six aspects of the final rule because the requirements were not described in, nor were logical outgrowth of, the proposed rule. The six provisions are: (1) Title V permits are required for sources that installed controls after 1990 to become area sources (the source categories were exempt from title V in proposal) ; (2) the requirement that sources with equipment subject to the final rule and another rule comply with either each provision independently or with the most stringent requirements of each rule; (3) the requirement that leak inspections include direct and proximate inspection of all areas of potential leak within the chemical manufacturing process unit (CMPU); (4) the requirement that process vessels in HAP service be equipped with a cover or lid that must be in place at all times when the vessel contains HAP, except for material addition and sampling; (5) the requirement to conduct leak inspections only during those periods when equipment is in HAP service; and (6) the broad definition of "family of materials" in determining applicability of CMPUs.
 On June 15, 2010, EPA granted reconsideration and in this supplemental proposal EPA will request comment on the six provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarifications to Indian Tribes&apos; Clean Air Act Regulatory Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule makes amendments necessary to provide regulatory clarity to Indian Tribes. The current CFR Part 49 entitled "Tribal Clean Air Act Authority" will be renamed to "Indian Country: Air Quality Planning and Management." The current title could be misread as only including requirements applicable to the granting of authority to Tribes under the Clean Air Act. The new title will clarify that the regulatory requirements within the Part deal more generally with the planning and management of air quality in Indian Country. Other changes will include moving sections 49.22, 49.23, and 49.24 out of subpart A, which includes provisions relating generally to tribal authority regardless of the EPA Region within which the tribe is located, to subpart L, Implementation Plans for Tribes in Region IX. These sections will be better organized so all Federal Implementation Plan activities that apply to Region IX Tribes will be located together under subpart L. Section 49.2 through 49.24 will become reserved sections.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Waste Energy Recovery Registry</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Revision to Definition of Volatile Organic Compounds--Exclusion of Methyl Iodide (And Possibly Methyl Bromide)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to revise EPA's definition of volatile organic compounds (VOC) for purposes of preparing State implementation plans (SIPs) to attain the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone under title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This proposed revision would add methyl iodide to the list of compounds excluded from the definition of VOC on the basis that these compounds make a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation. This action may also propose to add methyl bromide to this list.]]></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. EPA now intends to complete the ozone NAAQS reconsideration rulemaking by the end of July 2011 and designations will follow within two years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 (PM 2.5 generally referring to particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers), 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 coarse particles (PM10, generally referring to particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 micrometers, 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>

        <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 section129(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 4 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: 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: Modifications to the Technician Certification Requirements Under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend Appendix D to Subpart F of 40 CFR Part 82-Standards for Becoming a Certifying Program for Technicians. The Refrigerant Recycling Regulations governing standards for certifying programs for technicians were promulgated under section 608 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 in 1994. This rule would update parts of the regulations concerning the technician certification examination. The examination needs to reflect developments in new refrigerants, equipment, and technology over the last 12 years. This rule would provide specific requirements for programs applying to become certifying organizations, would specify reporting and recordkeeping requirements in order to enhance implementation of the program, and would define other administrative components of the program to improve accountability.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Revision to Listing of Carbon Dioxide Total Flooding Fire Extinguishing Systems Restricting Use to Only Unoccupied Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 612 of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to identify alternatives to Class I and II ozone-depleting substances and to publish lists of acceptable and unacceptable substitutes. 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>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.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>NSPS: SOCMI--Wastewater and Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These standards are based on a combination of control techniques that require removal or destruction of volatile organic compounds from wastewater at synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry plants. Designated chemical process units, i.e., process lines or process units, would be subject to the rule. Constructed, reconstructed, or modified designated chemical process units would be required to apply appropriate controls to affected wastewater tanks, surface impoundments, containers, individual drain systems, and oil and water separators, and to treat process wastewater to remove or destroy the volatile organic compounds. On September 12, 1994, EPA proposed Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Wastewater (40 CFR part 60, subpart YYY). On October 11, 1995, the EPA issued a supplemental proposal, which clarified and revised the previously proposed rule. On December 9, 1998, EPA published a supplement to the proposed rule that consisted of revised definitions, alternative test procedures, and clarifications of requirements, and that proposed to add appendix J to 40 CFR part 60. In conjunction with the rule development for the NSPS, amendments to appendix C to part 63 were proposed on June 30, 2004. The final rule will encompass the clarifications and revisions to subpart YYY, appendix J, and 40 CFR part 63 appendix C.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance 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. While the Agency plans to consider the comments received on the proposed rule and intends to issue a supplemental proposal to solicit additional public input, further action on this rulemaking will be deferred as the Agency addresses other actions with statutory or judicial deadlines. During the interim period, the Agency plans on including performance specifications and quality assurance requirements in individual rulemakings that rely on process parameters to demonstrate ongoing compliance.]]></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, Oct. 27, 1998), EPA found that emissions of NOx from 22 States and the District of Columbia (hereinafter referred to as '23 States') significantly contribute to downwind areas' nonattainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. EPA also separately found that NOx emissions from the same 23 States significantly contribute to downwind nonattainment of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Subsequently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit) remanded the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. [American Trucking Associations, Inc. v. EPA, 175 F.3d 1027 on rehearing 195 F.3d 4 (D.C. Cir. 1999).] EPA stayed the 8-hour basis of the NOx SIP Call rule on September 18, 2000 (65 FR 56245) based on the uncertainty created by the D.C. Circuit's decision. EPA has now completed the actions necessary to address the aforementioned remand, and therefore is now conducting rulemaking to lift the stay. EPA is proposing to lift the stay of our findings in the NOx SIP Call contained in 40 CFR sec 51.121(a)(2), related to the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. This action does not create any new requirements; it merely reinstitutes a requirement of the NOx SIP Call that had previously been stayed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA 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>

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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <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 described 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 requested comments on this information.]]></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>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 2 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 (ie., a 'risk review') within 8 years after promulgation of the MACT standards. We must also conduct a technology review of the source categories within 8 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 2 reviews are combined together and called a risk and technology review, or RTR.

The amendments will address both risk reduction and technology advancement for the phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizer source categories.

There are no known small businesses in this source category.

Proposal and promulgation dates have been scheduled under a settlement agreement for the RTR rules. The RTR amendments to these NESHAPs are due for proposal on 10/31/2012 and promulgation on 10/31/2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Method 16C for the Determination of Total Reduced Sulfur Emissions From Stationary Sources</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>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. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transport Rule to Address 2011 Ozone Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address the interstate transport requirements of the Clean Air Act as they relate to revised ozone standards expected to be published during 2011. On January 19, 2010, EPA proposed revisions to the ozone standards. If finalized, the new ozone standards would trigger a requirement for states to address any emissions that significantly contribute to downwind attainment and maintenance problems associated with the revised standards. Specifically, states are required by the Clean Air Act to prohibit emissions that "significantly contribute" to nonattainment of the revised ozone standard in other states, and to prohibit emissions that interfere with other states' ability to maintain the revised ozone standard. In this rulemaking, EPA will evaluate the extent to which upwind states emissions of nitrogen oxides contribute to downwind states' ability to attain and maintain the new ozone standard. EPA will also analyze numerous factors including control costs and the air quality improvements associated with those control costs to identify the portion, if any, of individual states' contributions that must be prohibited.]]></ABSTRACT>

In the process of assessing these fuels, the Agency is issuing determinations through several supplemental notices to the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources: Other Solid Waste Incineration Units</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA promulgated emissions standards for Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) units on December 16, 2005. Units covered under this rule include certain very small municipal waste combustion and institutional waste incineration units. Because EPA did not have emissions test data on OSWI units specifically, the 2005 rulemaking was based on test data from hospital, medical, infectious waste incineration (HMIWI) units, which were considered to be similar to OSWI units. EPA did not issue standards or guidelines for sewage sludge incinerator units, pathological waste incinerator units, and other categories of units. In 2007, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision vacating EPA's definition of "solid waste incineration unit". In that decision, the court held that any facility that combusts any solid waste material is a commercial or industrial solid waste incineration unit.. Based on that decision, EPA has reevaluated some of the categories of units for which EPA did not issue standards or guidelines in the 2005 OSWI rule -- for example, pathological waste incinerators -- and concluded that such units are in fact solid waste incineration units and as such must be regulated under Clean Air Act section 129. This rule will require that an information collection request (ICR) be used to gather data necessary to develop MACT floors and emission limits for the various subcategories of OSWI.]]></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 has proposed 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 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 final rule is complementary to another rulemaking titled Technical Corrections, Clarifying and Other Amendments, published on June 15, 2010. Together, these two rulemakings address the most significant questions raised during implementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry and Review of New Source Performance Standards for Portland Cement Plants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, we are clarifying provisions of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and correcting a minor error in the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry. These rules were published in the Federal Register on September 9, 2010 and take effect on November 8, 2010. 

The final rule NESHAP amendments were unclear concerning compliance dates for some sources, and did not make clear that emission limits currently in effect for existing sources remain in effect until the compliance date of the new emission standards. We also omitted text in one column in Table 1 of §63.1343(b). In the NSPS we inadvertently omitted a required rule reference in the incorporation by reference provision. This action clarifies the compliance dates, and emissions limits, and corrects the two minor errors.

This action is now complete.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inspection/Maintenance Program Requirements for Federal Facilities; Amendment to the Final Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has had oversight and policy development authority for Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs since the passage of the Clean Air Act (CAA) in 1970. The 1977 amendments to the CAA mandated I/M for certain areas with long-term air quality problems and the 1990 amendments set forth standards for implementation of I/M programs. EPA used the statutory requirements of the Act, including I/M requirements for Federal facilities, to promulgate regulations which States would use in the development of their I/M State Implementation Plans (SIPs). The Department of Justice 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 which 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 its 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 requirements as a result of 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 Federal 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>

        <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 former version of Method 202.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are not completing this action at this time. 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>

        <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. On January 24, 2011, the final rule amendments were published in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Restructuring of the Stationary Source Audit Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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. In the past, EPA provided 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 allows 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. The final rule was signed on August 26, 2010 by the Administrator and published in the Federal Register on September 13, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing a national emissions standard for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for gold mine ore processing facilities under section 112 of the Clean Air Act. 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>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>Revision to Pb Ambient Air Monitoring Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On 12/14/2010, EPA revised the ambient monitoring requirements for measuring lead (Pb) in the air. These amendments expand the nation's lead monitoring network to better assess compliance with the revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for lead issued in 2008. EPA is changing the emission threshold that state monitoring agencies must use to determine if an air quality monitor should be placed near an industrial facility that emits lead. The new emission threshold is 0.5 tons per year (tpy), reduced from the previous threshold of 1.0 tpy. Any new monitors located near an emissions source must be operational no later than one year after this rule is published in the Federal Register. EPA is maintaining a 1.0 tpy lead emission threshold for airports. However, EPA is requiring a 1-year monitoring study of 15 additional airports (beyond those currently required to monitor at the existing 1.0 tpy emission threshold). The study will help EPA determine whether airports that emit less than 1.0 tpy have the potential to cause the surrounding areas to exceed the lead NAAQS of 0.15 micrograms per cubic meter (g/m3). The monitors participating in the study must be operational no later than one year after this rule is published in the Federal Register. EPA is also requiring lead monitoring in large urban areas (Core Based Statistical Areas, or CBSAs, with a population of 500,000 people or more). Monitors will be located along with multi-pollutant ambient monitoring sites (known as the "NCore network"). Lead monitoring at these sites will begin January 1, 2012. The NCore network will consist of approximately 80 monitoring sites, of which 63 will be in large urban areas. The requirement to add these monitors replaces an existing requirement to place lead monitors in each CBSA with a population of 500,000 or more people. EPA estimates that a net increase of up to 76 lead monitors will be required to satisfy the revised monitoring requirements: Increase of 114 source-oriented monitors; o	Increase of 63 monitors at urban NCore network sites; Decrease of 101 non-source-oriented monitors previously required in CBSA's with a population of 500,000 or more]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Carbon Dioxide Injection and Geologic Sequestration Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the regulatory framework for the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting Program. This Program requires reporting of GHG emissions and other relevant information from certain source categories in the United States, including suppliers of carbon dioxide (CO2). Subpart RR of this rule requires GHG reporting from facilities that inject CO2 underground for geologic sequestration, and subpart UU requires GHG reporting from all other facilities that inject CO2 underground for any reason, including enhanced oil and gas recovery. This rule requires facilities conducting geologic sequestration of CO2 to develop and implement an EPA-approved site-specific monitoring, reporting and verification plan, and to report the amount of CO2 sequestered using a mass balance approach. This rule is complementary to and builds on EPA's Underground Injection Control (UIC) permit requirements. EPA has designed this rule so that facilities can comply with the reporting requirements without disrupting or delaying normal operations. The data obtained through this rule will inform Agency policies and decisions under the Clean Air Act related to the use of carbon dioxide capture and geologic sequestration (CCS) for mitigating GHG emissions.]]></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 has proposed a new definition of non-hazardous solid waste. The new NHSW definition proposes that Sewage Sludge is a solid waste and therefore must be regulated under section 129.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation requires 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 does not require control of greenhouse gases, rather it requires 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for Additional Sources of Fluorinated GHGs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, EPA finalized greenhouse gas 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 and Exporters of Pre-charged Equipment and Closed-Cell Foams. The rule added these five source categories to the source categories whose emissions are required to be reported under the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule (40 CFR part 98). The purpose of 40 CFR part 98 is to collect accurate and comprehensive emissions data to inform future climate change policies. In a proposed rule 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. EPA 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 finalized 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 certain facilities and suppliers above specified thresholds to report GHG information to EPA annually. For facilities, this includes those that directly emit GHGs and those that geologically sequester or otherwise inject carbon dioxide underground. For suppliers, this includes those that supply certain products that would result in GHG emissions if released, combusted, or
oxidized. The data collection started on January 1, 2010, and the first reports to EPA are due on  September 30, 2011. As part of that first report, EPA requires 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 co-generation 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 requires these three data elements in the annual GHG emissions reports.]]></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 nonhandheld equipment.]]></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 finalized 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 proposes 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 finalized 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>

        <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, the Environmental Protection Agency 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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designations for 2006 24-Hour PM2.5 NAAQS--Newly Violating Areas:
Pinal, Plumas, and Shasta Counties</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final completed air quality designations on state lands for three areas, and by doing so, for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. 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, Arizona (2006-2008 24-hour design value of 48); Plumas County, California (2006-2008 24-hour design value of 49); and, Shasta County, California (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 affected states and tribes needed further information to determine the appropriate nonattainment area boundaries, in accordance with the process that EPA has used for other nonattainment area designations, per section 107(d). This action also includes a 110(k)(6) error correction related to the designation classification for Ravalli, Montana and a technical correction to the name of the Knoxville, Tennessee nonattainment area. Both of these corrections are related to the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS designations. Finally, in the November 13, 2009 final rule, EPA indicated that it intended to initiate the process to redesignate two areas (Harris County, Texas and Pinal County, Arizona) to nonattainment for the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS.

        <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 Fed. Reg. 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 has proposed 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 final rule is complementary to the rulemaking titled Revision of Certain Provisions of the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule, signed July 20, 2010. Together, these two rulemakings address the most significant questions raised during implementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA finalized 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 was signed and published on the same schedule; EPA finalized a finding of substantial inadequacy and issued e 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>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 specify a date by which the amended opacity monitoring requirements must commence. Finally, the direct final amendments will correct 3 recently identified errors in the regulatory text.]]></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[This final action was another in a series of steps EPA took to implement the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program for greenhouse gas (GHG)-emitting sources. EPA has finalized its proposed rulemaking to narrow its previous approval of a number of State Implementation Plan (SIP) PSD programs that apply to GHG-emitting sources. Specifically, EPA has withdrawn its previous approval of those programs to the extent they apply PSD to GHG-emitting sources below the thresholds in the Final Tailoring Rule, which EPA promulgated by Federal Register notice dated June 3, 2010 (RIN 2060-AP86).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Action to Ensure Authority to Implement Title V Permitting Programs Under the Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, EPA finalized its rulemaking to narrow EPA's previous approval of state title V operating permit programs that apply (or may apply) to GHG-emitting sources. The final greenhouse gas Tailoring Rule includes a step by-step implementation strategy for issuing federally-enforceable permits to the largest, most environmentally significant sources beginning January 2, 2011. Specifically, in this final rule, EPA narrowed its previous approval of certain state permitting thresholds for GHG emissions so that only sources that equal or exceed the GHG thresholds established in the final Tailoring Rule would be covered as major sources by the federally-approved programs in the affected states. By raising the GHG thresholds that apply title V permitting to major sources in the affected states, this final rule reduced the number of sources that will be issued federally-enforceable title V permits and thereby significantly reduce permitting burdens for permitting agencies and sources alike in those states.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Determinations Concerning Need for Error Correction, Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval, and Federal Implementation Plan Regarding Texas Prevention of Significant Deterioration Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA published an interim final rule that addressed prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) permitting for greenhouse gas (GHG)- emitting sources in Texas. EPA identified that it made an error in granting full approval of Texas's PSD program in 1992, and used the error correction provisions under the Clean Air Act to convert that full approval to a partial approval and partial disapproval. In the same notice, EPA put in place a federal implementation plan (FIP) to apply the PSD program to newly regulated pollutants, specifically GHGs. EPA took this action as an interim final rule, and concurrently proposed the same action to allow public notice and comment and issuance of a final rule by May 1, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking issued a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) for Jefferson County, Kentucky that allows EPA to issue permits for sources that undertake construction or modification for greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sources until a corrected SIP to cover Jefferson County, Kentucky is submitted by the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District (permitting authority for Jefferson County) and EPA approves this submission. In a final "GHG PSD SIP Call" rule, EPA required Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District, through the Commonwealth of Kentucky, to revise its state implementation plan (SIP) for Jefferson County, Kentucky by January 1, 2011. However, as of that date, EPA had not yet received a corrected SIP to address the Louisville Metro Area prevention of significant deterioration permitting program. Accordingly, EPA issued a notice of "Finding of Failure to Submit", and concurrently issued a FIP for Jefferson County, Kentucky.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Deadline for Action on Supplemental Section 126 Petition From New Jersey</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking was a procedural action that extended the deadline for EPA to act on the supplemental petition submitted from New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). On May 13, 2010, we received a petition from NJDEP, filed under section 126 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The petition requested that EPA make a finding that the coal-fired Portland Generating Station (Portland Plant) in Upper Bethel Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, is emitting air pollutants in violation of the provision of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA with respect to both the 24-hour PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the 3-hour and 24-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) NAAQS. Section 126 requires the EPA to take final action to grant or deny the petition within 60 days of receipt. However, a separate provision of the CAA allows EPA to extend the statutory deadline for action by up to 6 months if the Agency determines that additional time is needed for the rulemaking process. EPA filed a 6-month extension to act on the petition on July 12, 2010. This extended the deadline to act to January 12, 2011. On September 17, 2010, NJDEP submitted a supplemental information petition to the original petition received in May. The supplemental petition requests that EPA make a finding that the Portland Plant is also emitting air pollutants in violation of the provision of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA with respect to the new 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Bisphenol A (BPA), a high production volume chemical, is a reproductive, developmental, and systemic toxicant in animal studies and is weakly estrogenic. EPA intends to issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to request comment on requiring toxicity testing to determine the potential for BPA to cause endocrine-related adverse effects in environmental organisms at low concentrations. The ANPRM will also seek comment on requiring sampling and monitoring of surface water, ground water, drinking water, soil, sediment, sludge, and landfill leachate in the vicinity of expected BPA releases to determine whether potentially sensitive organisms may currently be exposed to concentrations of BPA in the environment that are at or above levels of concern for adverse effects, including endocrine-related effects.]]></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[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; 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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exemption for Plant Virus Derived Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PVCP-PIPs) in Hawaiian Papaya Line 55-1 and Squash Lines CZW-3 and ZW-20</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing a proposal for a specific exemption from regulation under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) for two squash lines (CZW-3 and ZW-20) and for the Hawaiian papaya line 55-1. There is a long history of humans using foods containing plant-incorporated protectants. Virus infected plants have always been a part of the natural environment, and organisms that interact with plants have likely been exposed to plant virus coat proteins over long periods of time. EPA is developing this proposed exemption because the Agency, which has completed a review of the data, believes that the PVCP-PIPs covered by this exemption (Squash line CZW-3, Squash line ZW-20 and Hawaiian papaya line 55-1) meet the criteria in 40 CFR 174.21 and can be exempt from the requirements of FIFRA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Certification of Pesticide Applicators</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing change to 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 bring hazard communication requirements more in line with OSHA requirements and make improvements to pesticide safety training, with improved worker safety the intended outcome. The potential need for change arose from EPA discussions with key stakeholders beginning in 1996 and continuing through 2004. EPA held nine public meetings throughout the country during which the public submitted written and verbal comments on issues of their concern. In 2000 through 2004, EPA held meetings where invited stakeholders identified their issues and concerns with the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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&apos;s Regulatory Definition of Pests to Include Prion</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2003, the Agency decided that a prion (proteinaceous infectious particles) is a "pest" under Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and that a product intended to reduce the infectivity of 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 proposing to formally declare prions to be a pest and to amend its regulations to add prions to the list of pests (40 CFR part 152). EPA will also propose product performance data requirements (i.e., efficacy data) for prion-related products. 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>Pesticides; Microbial Pesticide Definitions and Applicability; Clarification and Availability of New Test Guideline</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency intends to propose several changes to subpart V - Microbial Pesticides under 40 CFR 158. EPA 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, EPA 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, EPA 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 CFR 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>CBI: PMN Amendments Claiming Chemical and Microorganism Identity as Confidential in Data From Health and Safety Studies Submitted Under TSCA Prior to the Commencement of Manufacture</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing proposed amendments to its new chemical and microorganism premanufacture regulations with respect to the information submitted to the EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The EPA is developing regulations so that the procedures for claiming chemical or microorganism identity as confidential business information (CBI) in data from health and safety studies are consistent with the language of section 14(b) of TSCA. As a general rule, TSCA section 14(b)(1) provides that health and safety studies and data from health and safety studies are not entitled to confidential treatment, with an exception for information that "discloses processes used in the manufacturing or processing of a chemical substance or mixture," or, in the case of a mixture, where release of the data discloses the portion of a mixture comprised by a particular substance. Chemical identity is part of a health and safety study. As such, chemical identity associated with a health and safety study is not entitled to confidential treatment unless it falls into the exemption under TSCA section 14(b)(1). This action will increase transparency related to chemicals and microorganisms undergoing review prior to the commencement of manufacture, and is also likely to increase the availability to the general public of health and safety data on chemicals in commerce.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering establishing regulations relating to claims for confidential business information (CBI) submitted under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) that would require the periodic reassertion and resubstantiation of such claims. Confidentiality claims which are not reasserted and resubstantiated would expire. EPA expects this action would increase transparency and availability of public health and environmental effects information on chemicals in commerce.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certain Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs); Test Rule and Significant New Use Rule (SNUR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As described in the Chemical Action Plan for Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) released on December 30, 2009, EPA 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. EPA also 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Reporting for Health and Safety Data Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to replace paper reporting with electronic reporting of the information that must be submitted under the Toxics Substance Control Act (TSCA) sections 4 (including enforceable consent agreements (ECAs), 8(a) Preliminary Assessment Information Rule (PAIR), 8(d), and 8(e). In addition, EPA is amending TSCA section 5 reporting regulations at 40 CFR 720, 40 CFR 723, and 40 CFR 725 to replace paper with electronic reporting for Notices of Commencement of Manufacture of Import (NOCs) and support documents (e.g. correspondence, amendments, test data) relating to TSCA section 5 notices submitted to EPA prior to April 6, 2010, the effective date of the electronic-PMN final rule. This action is intended to streamline the reporting process, and reduce the administrative costs associated with submission and recordkeeping required for these rules. Additionally, this proposal will establishes standards and requirements for using EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), which provides a single portal to enable electronic submission of forms, reports, and other documents to the Agency.]]></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[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 Dust Hazard Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is reviewing existing regulatory dust lead hazard standards for residential buildings and child occupied facilities and developing regulatory lead dust hazard standards for public and commercial buildings. On January 5, 2001, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final regulation under sections 403 and 402(c)(3) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The 2001 final rule established regulatory dust lead hazard standards of 40 µg/ft2 for floors and 250 µg/ft2 for interior window sills. The rule also established clearance standards for dust following an abatement of 40 µg/ft2 for floors, 250 µg/ft2 for interior window sills and 400 µg/ft2 in window troughs. On August 10, 2009, EPA received a petition requesting that EPA take action to lower EPA's regulatory lead hazard standards for lead in dust. On October 22, 2009, EPA granted the request. Additionally, since the 2001 final rule, EPA has assessed new data regarding lead and lead dust. Because new data has become available and a new NAAQS review is being held, the Agency's review of the existing lead dust hazard and clearance standards for target housing and Child Occupied Facilities (COFs) should reflect this new information in order to maintain consistency within the Agency. In April 2008, EPA issued the final Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule (RRP) under the authority of section 402(c)(3) of TSCA. As part of a settlement agreement related to a legal challenge of the RRP rule, EPA agreed to consult with EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB) by September 30, 2011, on a methodology for evaluating the risk posed by renovations in the interiors of public and commercial buildings other than child-occupied facilities. This methodology would assess hazards created by lead dust and be used to set a hazard standard for public and commercial buildings. Currently, there is no dust lead hazard standard for the interiors of public and commercial buildings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mercury; Regulation of Use in Certain Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Mercury is well-documented as a toxic, environmentally persistent substance that demonstrates the ability to bioaccumulate and to be atmospherically transported on a local, regional, and global scale. In addition, mercury can be environmentally transformed into methylmercury which biomagnifies and is highly toxic. EPA has conducted a preliminary analysis via the Risk-Based Prioritization of Mercury in Certain Products. By compiling data pertaining to the stated costs, advantages, and disadvantages associated with mercury-free alternatives to certain mercury-containing products, EPA made a preliminary judgment that effective and economically feasible alternatives exist. These products include switches, relays/contactors, flame sensors, button cell batteries, and measuring devices (e.g., barometers, manometers, 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mercury; Significant New Use Rule; Elemental Mercury Used in Barometers, Manometers, and Hygrometers/Psychrometers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA intends to propose a Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) that 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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nanoscale Materials; Chemical Substances When Manufactured, Imported, or Processed as Nanoscale Materials; Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements; Significant New Use Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing a proposal to establish reporting and recordkeeping requirements under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances when manufactured (defined by statute to include import) or processed as nanoscale materials. Specifically, EPA is developing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under TSCA section 5(a)(2) that would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process this/these chemical substance(s) for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by the proposed rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. 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 to prevent unreasonable risk to human health or the environment. In addition, EPA is developing a proposal to require reporting and recordkeeping under TSCA section 8(a), which would require 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. (This description reflects the incorporation of the rulemaking effort identified under RIN 2070-AJ67 into this rulemaking effort, as those two efforts were combined into a single rulemaking.)]]></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 ANPR 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 (SNUR); Benzidine-Based Dyes; Di-n-pentyl phthalate (DnPP); and Alkanes, C12-13, Chloro</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA intends to propose adding nine chemicals (dyes) to the benzidine-based chemical substances (dyes) Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) at 40 CFR section 721.1660; to create a SNUR for Di-n-pentyl phthalate (DnPP) (1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,2-dipentyl ester ) CASRN number 131-18-0; and to create a SNUR for Alkanes, C12-13, chloro (CASRN: 71011-12-6). The proposed SNURs would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process these 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. In the case of the benzidine-based dyes, the proposed rule would also require persons who intend to import or process the chemicals as part of an article to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. 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. For benzidine-based chemical substances (dyes) this amendment does not revoke the exemptions granted at 40 CFR section 721.1660(a)(2) for uses as laboratory stains and other analytical reagents. However, this amendment does propose to revoke the Article Exemption described in 40 CFR section 721.45(f) for the chemicals previously listed in 40 CFR section 721.1660(a)(2) as well as for the nine benzidine-based dyes included in this proposed SNUR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule (SNUR); Chemical-Specific SNURs To Extend Provisions of Section 5(e) Orders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) authorizes EPA to determine that a use of a chemical substance is a "significant new use." After considering all relevant factors, including those listed in TSCA section 5(a)(2), EPA makes this determination by promulgating Significant New Use Rules (SNURs). These regulations require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process a chemical substance contained in a SNUR for an activity that is designated as a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity before it occurs. For chemicals which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and for which EPA made a determination that the manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal may present an unreasonable risk, the Agency may issue a section 5(e) consent order to limit these activities. The Agency generally issues "5(e)" SNURs to extend the controls prescribed in these consent orders to other manufacturers and processors by designating the manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal of the substances without the specified controls as significant new uses. For chemicals which were the subject of PMNs, EPA may also promulgate "non-5(e) SNURs" when the Agency did not find that the chemical's manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal, as described in the PMN, triggered the determinations set forth under TSCA section 5(e) but did find that certain changes in the chemical's manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal could result in increased exposures to or releases of the substance. Under the Expedited Follow-up Rule (EFUR), 40 CFR part 721, Subpart D, EPA routinely issues batch direct final section 5(e) and non-5(e) SNURs. (For the Fall 2011 Regulatory Agenda, the Agency intends to remove those items below that indicated a Final issuance date.)]]></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>High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals; 4th Group of Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[High production volume (HPV) chemicals are manufactured (including imported) in the aggregate at more than 1 million pounds on an annual basis. This rulemaking effort, which is part of a series of rules under development for HPV chemicals, addresses what EPA refers to as the fourth group of chemicals (currently expected to include a total of 45 chemicals) identified under the HPV Program. Specifically, EPA is developing 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 HPV chemicals identified under the HPV Program. The test rule is currently expected to propose testing and recordkeeping requirements for 23 chemicals. The specific testing may vary based on the data needs identified for the particular chemical to which it applies, but the data generally collected under the test rule would include: acute toxicity, repeat dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, mutagenicity, ecotoxicity, and environmental fate. Data developed under this test rule will provide critical information about the environmental fate and potential hazards associated with these chemicals which, when combined with information about exposure and uses, will allow the Agency and others to evaluate potential health and environmental risks and to take appropriate follow-up action. The proposed SNUR is currently expected to apply to 22 chemicals, and 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. The notice required by the SNUR 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>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 testing under TSCA section 4.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule (SNUR); HBCD (Hexabromocyclododecane) Used in Textiles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for the use of HBCD (Hexabromocyclododecane) in consumer textiles. HBCD is a brominated flame retardant used in polystyrene foam for thermal insulation boards, in electrical and electronic applications, and commercial textiles. The chemical is found world-wide in the environment and wildlife. HBCD is transported long distances in the environment, it bioaccumulates and biomagnifies in the food chain, and is highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Human exposure is evidenced from its presence in breast milk, adipose tissue, and blood. Animal test results indicate that HBCD causes potential reproductive, developmental and neurological effects. EPA has evidence to suggest that the use of HBCD in textiles may be limited to specialty commercial applications. EPA believes that use of HBCD in consumer textiles would constitute a significant new use. The SNUR would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process HBCD for the designated significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing such use. 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>Cadmium; Health and Safety Data Reporting Under TSCA Section 8(d)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has agreed to grant a request by the Sierra Club submitted in a TSCA section 21 Petition on May 28, 2010, that EPA will use its authority under section 8(d) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to require reporting by producers, importers, and processors of cadmium and cadmium compounds that are reasonably likely to be incorporated into consumer products. On August 30, 2010, EPA agreed to initiate this rulemaking in response to a citizen's petition filed under TSCA section 21 on May 28, 2010. As requested by the petitioners, EPA will propose a rule to require the submission of lists and/or copies of ongoing and completed unpublished health and safety studies relevant to the determination on whether a potential hazard exists and whether a product may be a banned hazardous substance as outlined in CPSC guideline. TSCA section 8(d) authorizes the Agency to promulgate rules requiring that manufacturers, processors, and distributors of chemical substances or mixtures submit lists and copies of health and safety studies to the Administrator. This action is a step toward protecting human health and especially children's health from the potential risks associated exposure to cadmium through contact with consumer products.]]></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; Satisfaction of Data Requirements; Minor Revisions to the Procedures to Ensure Protection of Data Submitters&apos; Rights</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed revisions to its regulations governing procedures for the satisfaction of data requirements under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which are codified in 40 CFR part 152, subpart E. These provisions include, among other things, procedures for the protection of exclusive use and data compensation rights of data submitters. The proposed revisions would update the regulations, which have not been revised since issuance in 1984, to accommodate statutory and procedural changes that have occurred since that time. The proposed revisions would also make minor changes to clarify the regulations. The proposed revisions would simplify the procedures and reduce burdens for certain data submitters. The proposal does not otherwise make substantive changes to the requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 intends to withdraw the proposals. Withdrawing the proposals 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>Revisions to EPA&apos;s Rule on Protections for Subjects in Human Research Involving Pesticides</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed to amend the portions of its rules for the protection of human subjects of research applying to third parties who conduct or support research with pesticides involving intentional exposure of human subjects and to persons who submit the results of human research with pesticides to EPA. The proposed amendments would broaden the applicability of the rules to cover human testing with pesticides submitted to EPA under any regulatory statute it administers. They would also disallow participation in third-party pesticide studies by subjects who cannot consent for themselves. Finally the proposed amendments would identify specific considerations to be addressed in EPA science and ethics reviews of proposed and completed human research with pesticides, drawn from the recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). In seeking comments on these proposed amendments, EPA does not imply that the current Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects (the "Common Rule"), which governs research with human subjects conducted or supported by EPA and many other Federal departments and agencies, is inadequate. Indeed, the amendments proposed here would make no changes to the Common Rule or EPA's codification of the Common Rule. Rather, EPA proposed these amendments to other portions of its regulation as a result of a settlement agreement, and is now seeking comment on these proposed amendments. The settlement agreement makes clear that EPA retains full discretion concerning what amendments are proposed, and what, if any, amendments are finalized. The settlement agreement also stipulates that the final rule will be signed by December 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TSCA Inventory Update Reporting Modifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) rule enables EPA to collect and then, to the extent possible due to data confidentiality claims, make public critical information on the manufacturing, processing, and use of commercial chemicals, including current information on volumes of chemical production, manufacturing facility data, and how the chemicals are used. This information helps the Agency determine whether chemicals may be dangerous to people or the environment. In 2010, EPA proposed to amend the TSCA IUR rule, thereby providing improved information for EPA to better identify and, where appropriate, take steps to manage risks associated with chemical substances and mixtures (referred to hereafter as chemical substances). Additionally, improved information would be available for the public. The IUR rule, promulgated under TSCA section 8(a), requires manufacturers (including importers) of certain chemical substances on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory) to report information about the manufacturing (including import), processing, and use of those chemical substances. EPA proposed to require electronic reporting of IUR information and to modify IUR reporting requirements, including certain circumstances that trigger reporting, the specific data to be
reported, the reporting standard for processing and use information, and Confidential Business Information (CBI) reporting procedures. These proposed modifications would provide information to better address Agency and public information needs, improve the usability and reliability of the reported data, and ensure that data are available in a timely manner.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mercury; Incorporation of Revised ASTM Standards Into EPA Regulations That Provide Flexibility in the Use of Alternatives to Mercury-Containing Thermometers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed to incorporate the most recent versions of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International standards (ASTM standards) into EPA regulations that provide flexibility to use alternatives to mercury-containing industrial thermometers. The proposed amendments will allow the use of such alternatives in certain limited field and laboratory applications previously impermissible as part of compliance with EPA regulations. In addition, EPA sought public input on the need to address the remaining EPA regulations that incorporate by reference ASTM standards that do not allow the use of alternatives to mercury-containing industrial thermometers. EPA believes these ASTM standards may unnecessarily impede the use of effective, comparable, and available mercury alternatives. Due to elemental mercury's high toxicity, EPA is working to reduce potential mercury exposures to humans and the environment by reducing the overall use of mercury-containing products, including mercury-containing thermometers.]]></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>High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals; First Group of Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[High production volume (HPV) chemicals are manufactured (including imported) in the aggregate at more than 1 million pounds on an annual basis. The HPV Program, officially launched in late 1998, was created to ensure that a baseline set of data on approximately 2,800 HPV chemicals would be made available to EPA and the public. Chemicals were identified for this program through data reported under the TSCA Inventory Update Rule (IUR) during 1990. Mechanisms to collect or, where necessary, develop needed data on these HPV chemicals include the voluntary HPV Challenge Program, certain international efforts, and test rules issued under section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The first in a series of test rules under TSCA section 4(a)(1)(B), was proposed in 2000 and applied to what is now known as the "first group" of 37 identified chemicals. See separate entries for information about the other groups of HPV chemicals. Although the testing varied based on the specific data needs identified for the particular chemical, the data generally collected under this rule includes: acute toxicity, repeat dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, mutagenicity, ecotoxicity, and environmental fate. Data developed under this rule will provide critical information about the environmental fate and potential hazards associated with these chemicals which, when combined with information about exposure and uses, will allow the Agency and others to evaluate potential health and environmental risks and to take appropriate follow-up action. When finalized in March 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. In December 2006, based on new information indicating a lack of potential substantial worker exposure, the Agency revoked the requirements for coke-oven light oil (coal) (CAS No. 65996-78-3) from the HPV test rule. In 2010, EPA expects to remove another chemical.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals; Third Group of Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[High production volume (HPV) chemicals are manufactured (including imported) in the aggregate at more than 1 million pounds on an annual basis. Under section 4(a)(1)(B) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA is establishing testing and recordkeeping requirements for 29 chemicals identified in the 2010 proposed rule. This test rule is one in a series of rules, addressing what EPA refers to as the third group of chemicals identified under the HPV Program. The testing may vary based on the specific data needs identified for the particular chemical to which it applies, but the data generally collected under this rule includes: acute toxicity, repeat dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, mutagenicity, ecotoxicity, and environmental fate. Data developed under this rule will provide critical information about the environmental fate and potential hazards associated with these chemicals which, when combined with information about exposure and uses, will allow the Agency and others to evaluate potential health and environmental risks and to take appropriate follow-up action.]]></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; Registration Requirements for Antimicrobial Pesticide Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2001, EPA finalized certain labeling regulations for pesticide products, clarifications regarding the application of Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to nitrogen stabilizers, and regulations that contain statutory provisions excluding certain types of products from regulation of pesticides. These topics were part of the 1999 proposal concerning antimicrobial products, and are being promulgated separately for convenience. In September 1999, EPA proposed procedures for the registration of antimicrobial products, including labeling standards for antimicrobial public health products to ensure that these products are appropriately labeled for the level of antimicrobial activity they demonstrate. EPA also proposed to modify its notification process for antimicrobial products to conform to the statutorily prescribed process; and to exempt certain antimicrobial products from FIFRA regulation. In November 1999, EPA proposed procedures for the registration of antimicrobial pesticides and performance standards for public health antimicrobial pesticides, as well as other changes affecting all pesticide products, including interpretation of new provisions relating to nitrogen stabilizers, and updating and reorganization of human hazard labeling requirements. After considering public comments and an extensive stakeholder dialogue, EPA will determine next steps for addressing the remaining issues from the proposed rule.]]></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, distribution in commerce, 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Short-Chained Chlorinated Paraffins (SCCPs); Regulation(s) Under TSCA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is initiating action under the Toxics Substances Control Act (TSCA) to consider proposing 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.]]></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 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>

        <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 has initiated 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>

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

        <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 proposed 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>

        <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>

        <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>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. These amendment do not otherwise involve any other changes to the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mercury Export Ban Act (MEBA); Essential Use Exemption Instructions</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>High Production Volume (HPV) Chemicals; 2nd Group of Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[High production volume (HPV) chemicals are manufactured (including imported) in the aggregate at more than 1 million pounds on an annual basis. Under section 4(a)(1)(B) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA is establishing testing and recordkeeping requirements for 19 chemicals identified initially in the 2008 proposed rule. This test rule is one in a series of rules, addressing what EPA refers to as the second group of chemicals identified under the HPV Program.
 
The testing may vary based on the specific data needs identified for the particular chemical to which it applies, but the data generally collected under this rule includes: acute toxicity, repeat dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, mutagenicity, ecotoxicity, and environmental fate. Data developed under this rule will provide critical information about the environmental fate and potential hazards associated with these chemicals which, when combined with information about exposure and uses, will allow the Agency and others to evaluate potential health and environmental risks and to take appropriate follow-up action.]]></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. 

No potential costs are foreseen for this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

In particular, USAID wishes to simplify Agency S/O/N procedures as implemented in 22 CFR part 228 and align them more closely with statutory procurement authorities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will establish accessibility guidelines for shared use paths to ensure that they are accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.  The guidelines will include a definition of shared use paths, which are typically designed for bicyclists and pedestrians and are used for recreation and transportation purposes.  The guidelines are expected to be adopted as enforceable standards in separate rulemakings by the Department of Justice and the Department of Transportation for public and private entities subject to the American with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability.  The General Services Administration, Department of Defense, and Department of Housing and Urban Development are also expected to adopt the guidelines as enforceable standards for facilities constructed or altered with federal funds that are subject to the Architectural Barriers Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (Committee), which is responsible for administering the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act through the AbilityOne Program, proposes to amend its regulations by adding guidelines for Federal agencies' use in determining whether commercial commodities are "essentially the same" as items on the Procurement List.  The Procurement List is the official list of commodities and services that the Committee has determined to be suitable for provision to the Government by nonprofit agencies employing people who are blind or who have other severe disabilities and that, pursuant to the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act and the regulations, must be purchased from the source designated by the Committee.  The guidelines for Federal agencies would clarify the meaning and applicability of the term "essentially the same," which currently appears but is not defined in the Committee's regulations.  As such, the guidelines would assist Federal employees who make purchasing decisions in complying with the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (Committee), which is responsible for administering the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act through the AbilityOne Program, proposes to revise and update its regulation 41 CFR 51-2 which describes and defines the roles and responsibilities of the Committee and to provide enhanced explanation regarding the authorities and decision-making processes of the Committee. 

The regulation was originally published in 1991. Changes in Committee practices and concepts have occurred since then that will be addressed in the revision. The revision will clarify the roles and responsibilities of the Committee and also meet the objectives established in the Committee's Strategic Plan to the benefit of the entire AbilityOne Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (Committee), which is responsible for administering and overseeing the implementation of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act, is proposing to require designated central and other participating nonprofit agencies to take specific steps to adhere to accountability standards established by the Committee.  A key element of this proposed rule is to ensure that executive compensation is such that revenue of a designated central or other affiliated nonprofit agency, generated through the AbilityOne Program's authority, does not unreasonably inure to an individual, executive, or professional staff member.  The proposed rule is also intended to ensure that only qualified, capable, and compliant central nonprofit and nonprofit agencies are allowed to receive and retain Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act sponsored government contracts.  Finally, this rule will require central nonprofit agencies to adhere to the fee guidance established herein.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments To Adapt Certain CFTC Regulations to the Dodd-Frank Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act established a comprehensive new statutory framework for swaps and security-based swaps.  The Dodd-Frank Act repeals some sections of the Commodity Exchange Act, amends others and adds a number of new provisions.  The DFA also requires the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to promulgate a number of rules to implement the new framework.   The Commission has proposed numerous rules to satisfy its obligations under the DFA.  Because the Dodd-Frank Act effects so many changes to the existing statutory and regulatory frameworks, the proposed rules would make a number of conforming changes to the CFTC's regulations to more fully integrate them with the new statutory and regulatory framework.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has proposed new Rule 30.13 to establish a Commission certification procedure to replace the existing staff no-action process applicable to a foreign board of trade's (FBOT) security index futures contracts. Specifically, proposed Rule 30.13 would set forth a procedure where by an FBOT may apply to the Commission for certification that a security index futures contract traded on that exchange meets the requirements for offer and sale to United States persons under the Commodity Exchange Act. Proposed Rule 30.13 would also establish a procedure for an FBOT to request a Commission certification on an expedited basis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission solicited public comment with respect to the adoption of regulations that would identify the owners of transactions reported to the trade surveillance system.  Such regulations would enable trade practice and market surveillance staff to perform timely and customized analysis of trading activity.  Comment was initially solicited through an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking published in 2009 and then again through a notice of proposed rulemaking published in July 2010.  The comment period for the proposed regulation has now closed.  Commission staff is evaluating all comments received to determine how it should proceed to implement the proposed account ownership and control reports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Core Principles and Other Requirements for Designated Contract Markets</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 723 of the Dodd-Frank Act amends Section 2(h)(8) of the Act to require that all swaps subject to clearing must be executed on either a DCM or a Swap Execution Facility (SEF), except where the swap is not made available to trade on any DCM or SEF. The proposed rules, guidance and acceptable practices proposed in this rulemaking implement 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 incorporate the listing, trading and execution of swaps on designated contract markets.  This rulemaking proposes amendments to parts 1, 16 and 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Core Principles and Other Requirements for Swap Execution Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) amended the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) to establish a comprehensive new regulatory framework for the execution of swaps by: (i) Creating a definition for swap execution facilities (SEFs) under section 721 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which added new CEA Section 1a(50); (ii) providing, though the SEF definition, a market for the execution of swaps on trading systems or platforms that enable eligible contract participants to trade on a multilateral basis; (iii) creating an execution requirement under section 723 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which added new CEA section 2(h)(8); and (iv) creating registration and core principle requirements for SEFs under section 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which added new CEA Section 5h.  Pursuant to title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) has proposed rules to implement sections 721, 723 and 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act.  The Commission's proposal implements the registration process for each applicant seeking registration as 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.  The proposal would also replace current part 37 of the Commission's regulations, at present addressing rules for Derivatives Transaction Execution Facilities, with rules to implement the amendments to the CEA relevant to SEFs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Proposed amendments to part 39 of the Commission's regulations would establish the regulatory standards for compliance with Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) Core Principles A (Compliance), H (Rule Enforcement), N (Antitrust Considerations), and R (Legal Risk), as well as DCO chief compliance officer requirements set forth in section 5b of the Commodity Exchange Act.  The proposed amendments to part 39 also would revise procedures for DCO applications, clarify procedures for the transfer of a DCO registration, add requirements for approval of DCO rules establishing a portfolio margining program for customer accounts carried by a futures commission merchant that is also registered as a securities broker-dealer, and make certain technical amendments.  Proposed amendments to part 1 would update the definitions of "clearing member" and "clearing organization."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Financial Resources Requirements for Derivatives Clearing Organizations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed part 39 regulations would establish financial resources requirements for derivatives clearing organizations, including heightened standards for those designated as systemically important derivatives clearing organizations, for the purpose of ensuring that they maintain sufficient financial resources to enable them to perform their functions in compliance with the Commodity Exchange Act.  The Commission also proposed amendments to part 140 that would delegate certain authority under part 39 to the Director of the Division of Intermediary Oversight.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Risk Management Requirements for Derivatives Clearing Organizations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Proposed regulations would establish the regulatory standards for compliance with derivatives clearing organization (DCO) Core Principles C (Participant and Product Eligibility), D (Risk Management), E (Settlement Procedures), F (Treatment of Funds), G (Default Rules and Procedures), and I (System Safeguards).  For DCOs that are designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council as systemically important DCOs (SIDCOs), the Commission is proposing heightened standards in the area of system safeguards supporting business continuity and disaster recovery and a provision that would implement the Commission's special enforcement authority over SIDCOs.  The Commission also is proposing certain additional amendments including replacement of the current part 39 appendix A, Application Guidance and Compliance With Core Principles, with an application form for entities seeking to register as DCOs, and amendments to supplement part 39 reporting and public information requirements proposed in a previous rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is proposing regulations to implement new statutory provisions enacted by title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The proposed regulations set forth certain duties imposed upon swap dealers and major swap participants registered with the Commission with regard to:  Risk management procedures; monitoring of trading to prevent violations of applicable position limits; diligent supervision; business continuity and disaster recovery; disclosure and the ability of regulators to obtain general information; and antitrust considerations. The proposed regulations would implement the new statutory framework of section 4s(j) of the Commodity Exchange Act, added by section 731 of the Dodd-Frank Act, excepting regulations related to conflicts of interest pursuant to section 4s(j)(5), which will be addressed in a separate rulemaking. These regulations set forth certain duties with which swap dealers and major swap participants must comply to maintain registration as a swap dealer or major swap participant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) is proposing regulations to implement new statutory provisions established under title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).  Section 731 of the Dodd-Frank Act added a new section 4s(i) to the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), which requires the Commission to prescribe standards for swap dealers and major swap participants related to the timely and accurate confirmation, processing, netting, documentation, and valuation of swaps.  The proposed rules would establish requirements for swap trading relationship documentation for swap dealers and major swap participants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CFTC is publishing for comment an interim final rule to implement new statutory provisions introduced by title VII, section 723 of the Dodd-Frank Act.  Section 723 amends section 2 of the CEA by adding new section 2(h)(5), which directs that rules adopted by the Commission under this section shall provide for the reporting of "transition" swaps-e.g. those swaps entered into after the date of enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act and prior to the effective date of that statute.  The Commission expects shortly to issue a notice for comment about permanent, substantive rules under CEA section 2(h)(5) to govern the reporting of these post-enactment swaps.  The purpose of the interim final rule is to alert counterparties that these swaps may be subject to reporting rules  and to ensure the preservation of data relating to those swaps pending implementation of such rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Position Limits on Agricultural Commodities </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has been mandated by Congress (in the Dodd-Frank Act) to impose position limits, on an aggregate basis, on futures and swaps relating to agriculture in order to:  (a) Diminish, eliminate,  or prevent excessive speculation; (b) deter and prevent market manipulation, squeezes, and corners; (c) ensure sufficient market liquidity for bona fide hedgers; and (d) ensure that the price discovery function of an underlying market is not disrupted.  Given the potential effects of position limits on various market participants, the Commission intends to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit and consider the public's comments in advance of issuing final rules. The rulemaking would also include amendments to the Commission's reporting rules to permit for or further facilitate the filing of electronic Forms 40, 102, and '04s reports.  In addition, the Commission may propose amendments to improve the information reported on Form 40.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Commission will initiate a rulemaking to establish the requirements that third party conformity assessment bodies must meet for their accreditation to test for phthalate content to be accepted by the Commission.  Staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></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 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 process to establish the requirements that third party conformity assessment bodies must meet for Commission acceptance of accreditation for testing according to ASTM F963, Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety. Staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition HP10-2 Requesting a Standard for Cadmium in Children&apos;s Jewelry</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A request from the Empire State Consumer Project, the Sierra Club, the Center for Environmental Health, and Rochesterians Against the Misuse of Pesticides was submitted to the Commission on May 28, 2010.  This request was docketed under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) as Petition No. HP 10-2.  A Federal Register notice soliciting comments on the petition was published on August 19, 2010.  The comment period closed on October 18, 2010.  The petitioners request that the Commission adopt regulations declaring that any toy metal jewelry containing more than trace amounts of cadmium by weight that could be ingested by children is a banned hazardous substance.  If the Commission finds that it lacks sufficient information to determine the appropriate level of cadmium in products, the petitioners request that, as an interim measure, the Commission adopt the maximum levels established for lead.  On February 16, 2011, the Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to defer the decision on the petition for six months.  The Commission directed staff to participate in the ASTM F15.24 subcommittee to develop a voluntary standard addressing accessible cadmium from children's metal jewelry, and to work with the ASTM F15.22 subcommittee on the ASTM F963 standard with respect to toy jewelry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Carol Pollack-Nelson of Independent Safety Consulting submitted a petition to the Commission on April 16, 2010 requesting that the Commission initiate rulemaking to revise existing regulations related to bunk beds.   The petition was docketed under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) as Petition CP 10-2 and the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) as Petition HP 10-1.  The petition requests that the Commission revise its existing bunk bed standard, codified at 16 CFR parts 1213, 1500, and 1513, to incorporate requirements for head and neck entrapment testing in spaces created by side structures that are provided with a bunk bed, including ladders. The petition was docketed on June 18, 2010.  The Commission voted on June 29, 2010, to approve publication of a notice in the Federal Register seeking comments on the petition.  The notice was published in the Federal Register on July 12, 2010. The comment period closed September 10, 2010.  Staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></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 allows children to become entrapped between the portable bed rail and the bed.  This entrapment can result in serious injury or death.  In October 2000, the Commission issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) addressing this issue.  In 2001, staff sent a briefing package to the Commission, recommending that the Commission publish an NPRM for the development of a safety standard.  In October 2001, the Commission voted to direct the staff to prepare an 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 six 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>

        <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, staff developed a May 31, 2006 briefing package recommending that the Commission issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would ban formally three-wheeled ATVs and mandate performance, training, labeling, and information requirements for four-wheeled ATVs.  Other nonregulatory activities also were recommended, including the launch of an ATV safety website 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 to the Commission a report summarizing the status of 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.  The effective date of the mandatory standard was April 13, 2009.  Section 232 of the CPSIA also prohibits the importation of new three-wheeled ATVs into the United States or their distribution in U.S. commerce while the Commission's ATV proceedings are pending.  Staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recreational Off-Road Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is considering whether Recreational Off-Road Vehicles (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 an 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.  Following completion of testing and evaluation, staff will prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></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 six months thereafter.  The Commission will propose a consumer product safety standard for infant swings as part of this series of standards for durable infant and toddler products.  The proposed standard is expected to be based on ASTM F 2088-09, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Infant Swings, with possible changes or additions.]]></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 six months thereafter.  The Commission will propose a consumer product safety standard for bedside sleepers to address occupant retention, structural integrity and product installation, 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>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, 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.]]></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 to become 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.

        <RULE_TITLE>Import Regulations Regarding Sampling, Examination, Reconditioning, and Refusal of Admission of Products Imported Into the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 17 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) and section 14 of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) contain provisions relating to the sampling, examination, reconditioning, and refusal of admission of products imported or offered for import into the United States.  Current regulations governing the administration of imports are found at 16 CFR 1500.265 et seq. These regulations were promulgated in 1972 (38 FR 27012, Sept. 27, 1973, as amended at 57 FR 28605, June 26, 1992) and do not reflect current operational reality. 

The proposed rule would replace the current regulations governing imports and contain a new part dedicated solely to import procedures.  The new part would provide direction for the sampling, examination, and detention of products; the presentation of testimony and evidence by claimants to those products in order to resolve the detention; and the refusal of admission of those shipments that are not in compliance.  The proposed regulations would provide for the conditional release of products under the Customs bond to bring them into compliance.  The proposed regulations would introduce processes for asserting liens against future imports made by importers, owners, and consignees of noncompliant products that are destroyed at government expense.  The new part would eliminate certain archaic references contained in the current regulations.

Pursuant to section 14(g)(4) of the CPSA, the Commission may, by rule, provide for the electronic filing of certificates of conformity required by section 14(a)(1) and 14(a)(2) of the CPSA up to 24 hours before arrival of an imported product. Upon request, the manufacturer or private labeler issuing the certificate shall furnish a copy to the Commission and to the Commissioner of Customs.  This rule would amend current part 1110 (related to issuing certificates of conformity) as it affects importers to require that the certificates be electronic and that they be filed at the time of entry.]]></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 requirements for children's products.  The comment period ended August 3, 2010.  Staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration of the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is considering a rule specifying that drawstrings for certain sizes of children's outerwear shall be deemed a substantial product hazard under 15 USC 2064(a)(2) if they do not meet the requirements of ASTM F 1816-97, Standard Safety Specification for Drawstrings on Children's Upper Outerwear.  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 where there is substantial compliance with such standards.  On May 17 2010, the Commission published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register.  The comment period closed on August 2, 2010.

        <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 six months thereafter.  On March 24, 2010, the Commission voted to approve publication of a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on bassinets.  The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on April 28, 2010, and the comment period ended on July 12, 2010.  The comment period was later reopened until September 10, 2010.  The proposed standard is based on ASTM F 2194, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Bassinets and Cradles, with some changes and additions.  Staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration of the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conditions and Requirements for Testing Component Parts of Consumer Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to specify the conditions and requirements for testing of component parts of consumer products.

        <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 issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to consider 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. The NPR was published in the Federal Register on November 1, 2010. 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 this 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 the 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.  Staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration of the final rule.]]></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, staff sent a briefing package to the Commission. 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.  The revised standard incorporates warning language about hangings associated with bunk beds and attaching items to the bed.  CPSC staff worked with the subcommittee to develop requirements beyond labeling to address strangulation hazards with vertical protrusions.  A revised standard was approved on July 15, 2007.  Staff will evaluate the adequacy of, and conformance to, the revised standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In November 2001, a petition from the Lighter Association, Inc., requested that the Commission issue a rule to adopt an ASTM International voluntary safety standard for cigarette lighters. In November 2004, the Commission voted to grant the petition and initiate a rulemaking proceeding.  An advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was published in April 2005, and the comment period closed on June 10, 2005.  Staff completed monitoring conformance of lighters with the voluntary standard and sent a status report to the Commission for consideration in October 2006.  On January 23, 2008, staff provided a review of applicable law, decision factors, and pertinent information to assist the Commission in considering whether to rely formally 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. Commission staff reviewed public comments received on the ANPRM and is considering how information derived from implementation of the new open flame mattress standard impacts bedclothes flammability. Staff will prepare a briefing 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 the revocation or amendment of its existing flammability standard, including a test for cigarette ignition of mattresses and mattress pads  (16 CFR 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 that 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>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  deaths and injuries related to portable generators, particularly those involving 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 to the rest of the house.  The results of 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 2011, staff plans to prepare an interim report that will include analyses of NIST's empirical 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 of whether to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, the Commission 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 freestanding loop or if a child places his/her neck between the lifting loop and the roll-up blind material.  Staff will prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration of whether a rule is the appropriate mechanism to address this hazard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGB Act), Public Law 110-140,  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 had a 60 day comment period which ended on December 21, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Options To Address Crib Safety Hazards</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 standards if the Commission concludes that more stringent requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product. Full-size and non-full-size cribs are among the products for which such standards are to be issued.   Section 104(c) of the CPSIA makes it a prohibited act for certain entities, including child care facilities, family child care homes, and places of public accommodation affecting commerce, to provide for use cribs that do not comply with the crib standards.  The Commission published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) in preparation for this rulemaking, which discussed options to address hazards that the staff had identified.  The ANPRM was published on November 25, 2008.  On July 14, 2010, the Commission voted to approve publication of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register proposing standards for full-size and non-full-size cribs. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on July 23, 2010, and the comment period closed October 6, 2010. On December 15, 2010, the Commission voted to approve publication of a final rule.  The final rule was published in the Federal Register on December 28, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Commission is directed to assess the effectiveness of applicable voluntary standards and, in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act, promulgate consumer product safety standards that are substantially the same as the voluntary standard or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission determines that more stringent standards would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product.  The CPSIA requires that not later than August 14, 2008, the Commission begin rulemaking for at least two categories of durable infant or toddler products and promulgate two such standards every six months thereafter.  On March 17, 2010, the Commission voted to approve publication of a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for toddler beds.  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><![CDATA[Section 212 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, (August 14, 2008) amended the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) to create a new section 6A.  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 website.  The Commission 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. The Commission approved the final rule on November 24, 2010.  The final rule was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 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 revoked its existing regulations pertaining to full-size and non-full-size cribs because, pursuant to section 104 of the CPSIA, the Commission issued new safety standards for cribs that will further reduce the risk of injury associated with these products.  The new consumer product safety standards for cribs include the requirements that currently are found at 16 CFR parts 1508 and 1509 for full-size and non-full-size cribs. On December 15, 2010, the Commission voted to approve publication of the revocation in the Federal Register.  The revocation was published in the Federal Register on December 28, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102 of the Consumer Product 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 Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), published in the Federal Register on November 1, 2010, in which the Commission proposed limited changes to 16 CFR part 1512 to facilitate the requisite testing and certification.  Following the end of the comment period, staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration of a final rule.]]></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 initiated a process 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.  On November 10, 2010, the Commission voted to approve publication of the notice of requirements.  The notice of requirements was published in the Federal Register on November 19, 2010.]]></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 therefore are highly flammable. On August 9, 2010, the Commission voted to approve publication of the notice of requirements.  The notice of requirements was published in the Federal Register on August 18, 2010.]]></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 Program 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 Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia (PSA) is an independent federal entity within the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA).  On February 2, 2011,  the Criminal Code Amendment Act of 2010 was enacted by the Council of the District of Columbia (D.C.) (D.C. Act 18-0722).  Among other things, the legislation changed the name of PSA to move the reference to the "District of Columbia" from the beginning of the Agency name to the end of it, to make it consistent with the names of other federal and D.C. criminal justice agencies operating in the jurisdiction.  As a result, the Agency seal is being revised to reflect the name change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to provide revised regulatory coverage on organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs), provide additional coverage regarding contractor access to nonpublic information, and add related provisions and clauses.

Section 841 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 required a review of the FAR coverage on OCIs.  This proposed rule was developed as a result of a review conducted in accordance with section 841 by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (the Councils) and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP), in consultation with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE). This proposed rule was preceded by an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR), under FAR Case 2007-018 (73 FR 15962), to gather comments from the public with regard to whether and how to improve the FAR coverage on OCIs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to make changes to the payment provisions for time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts, addressing potential problems with two final rules on these types of contracts which were issued on December 12, 2006 under FAR Cases 2003-027 and 2004-015. The most significant changes in the referenced cases were the authorizing of the use of time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts for commercial services under specified conditions, and revised and clarified policies related to the award and administration of noncommercial time-and-materials and labor-hour contracts, and the policies regarding payments made under those contracts.  The proposed rule is necessary to further clarify these changes made in the prior cases.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2010-013, Privacy Training</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule develops a new FAR clause to ensure that all contractors are required to complete training in the protection of privacy and the handling and safeguarding of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). A number of agencies currently require that contractors who handle personally identifiable information or operate a system of records on behalf of the Federal Government complete agency-provided privacy training.  However, in some circumstances an agency may provide a contractor the Privacy Act requirements, and the contractor will train its own employees, and shall upon request, provide evidence of privacy training for all applicable employees.  The proposed FAR language provides flexibility for agencies to conduct the privacy training or require the contractor to conduct the privacy training.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to limit the section of the FAR addressing the priorities for use of Government supply sources to a discussion of the mandatory Government sources of supplies and services.  Also, a new section is added to encourage agencies to give priority consideration to using certain sources, despite the fact that the use of the listed sources is not mandatory.  This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 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[DoD, GSA, and NASA will adopt, as final, with changes, the interim rule that amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memoranda on brand-name specifications. The memoranda were designed to reinforce the need to maintain vendor- and technology-neutral contract specifications and provide for maximum competition by limiting the use of brand-name specifications. The final rule will clarify when the justification and posting requirements for brand name items only apply to the portion of the acquisition that requires the brand name item.   The final rule will also clarify when the brand name justification is required for orders issued under Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Blanket Purchase Agreements and indefinite-delivery contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 811 prohibits the award of a sole-source contract in an amount over $20 million under the 8(a) program authority (15 U.S.C. 637(a)) without first obtaining a written Justification and Approval (J&A) approved by an appropriate official and making public the J&A and related information. This is a new internal Government requirement for the development and approval of a sole-source J&A for 8(a) sole-source awards over $20 million. It neither prohibits such awards nor increases the qualifications required of 8(a) firms. No automated systems are impacted.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2009-023, Unique Procurement Instrument Identifiers (PIID)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to standardize use of unique Procurement Instrument Identifiers (PIID) throughout the Government.  This case defines the requirement for agency unique procurement instrument identifiers and extends the requirement for using PIIDs to all solicitations, contracts, and related procurement instruments across the Federal Government.

This final rule adds a new subpart (subpart 4.16-Unique Procurement Instrument Identifiers) to prescribe policies and procedures for assigning a PIID.  The Government expects these changes will reduce data errors and interoperability problems across the Federal Government's business processes which were created by inconsistent and non-unique PIID assignment and use. These changes will not impose new requirements on small businesses, as the rule only addresses internal Government policy and procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA published an interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 815 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. Section 815 extends the flowdown of the restriction on subcontracting to lower tier subcontractors that have been suspended or debarred, with some exceptions for commercial items and commercially available off-the-shelf items.  This rule states that for contracts 30,000 dollars and over, unless there is a compelling reason to do so, contractors cannot award subcontracts to companies who are debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment.  The rule does not apply to COTS item contracts and for commercial item contracts only at the first tier.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA have amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to incorporate changes made by the Small Business Administration (SBA) to its small disadvantaged business program (SDB).

Only those firms that were certified SDBs could participate as SDBs for federal prime contracts and subcontract opportunities.  The revision to SBA's regulation removed any uncertainty and barriers regarding SDB subcontractors' ability to self-represent themselves in good faith to prime contractors]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 864 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009, Public Law 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).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA issued an interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 863 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009. Section 863, entitled "Requirements for Purchase of Property and Services Pursuant to Multiple-Award Contracts," mandates enhanced competition for orders placed under multiple-award contracts, including GSA's Federal Supply Schedules (FSS). If an individual order over the simplified acquisition threshold does not follow the section 863 competitive procedures, section 863 requires that a notice of, and the determination to waive competition for, the order be published in FedBizOpps within 14 days after award. These FAR changes support the Administration's commitment to strengthened competition and increased transparency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA are issuing an interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement the Small Business Administration's regulations establishing the Women-Owned Small Business Program.  

The Small Business Act assists in leveling the procurement playing field to enable small business concerns, including women-owned small business (WOSB) concerns and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) concerns, to compete for Federal contracting opportunities.

On December 21, 2000, Congress enacted the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2000 ("Act") (Pub. L. 106-554).  Section 811 of Appendix I of the Act amended the Small Business Act to include section 8(m), which authorized the restriction of competition for Federal contracts in certain industries to EDWOSB concerns or WOSB concerns eligible under the WOSB Program.

This interim rule provides the contracting community additional resources to meet the Government's procurement needs. The addition of FAR subpart 19.15 incorporates coverage of the Women-Owned Small Business Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA propose to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation to update references to authoritative accounting standards owing to the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) ("Codification of GAAP"). In June of 2009, the FASB announced, in its Statement Number 168, that effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the FASB ASC would become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  The FASB stated that this codification supersedes existing references in U.S. GAAP.  Consequently, the superseded references in three FAR sections are being updated with the GAAP Codification references.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2009-016, Constitutionality of Federal Contracting Programs for Minority-Owned and Other Small Businesses</RULE_TITLE>
        <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).

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 2005-014, SmartBUY</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA proposed to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement the Governmentwide Enterprise Software Licensing Program, also known as SmartBUY.  The action was 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.  The rule would have impacted contracting officers and other acquisition officials responsible for reviewing the terms, conditions, and prices for the acquisition of commercial software and software maintenance.  

A determination was made that including the program in the FAR was not appropriate at this time, and the rule was withdrawn for consideration as an amendment to the FAR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2007-018, Organizational Conflicts of Interest</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA were proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to provide regulatory coverage revising subpart 9.5, Organizational Conflicts of Interest, relocating the coverage to a new subpart 3.12, and adding clauses at 52.203.  

This proposed rule was preceded by an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) to gather comments from the public with regard to whether and how to improve the FAR coverage on organizational conflicts of interest (OCI).  

The case was placed on hold due to the priority of implementing new statutory contracting requirements in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2009 (the Act) (Pub. L. 110-417).  However, section 841 of the Act mandated a review of the FAR coverage of organizational conflicts of interest within 12 months of its enactment, i.e., October 14, 2009.  This proposed rule fulfills that requirement.

This case was closed on September 30, 2010 regarding a proposed approach to addressing the comments received on the DoD Organizational Conflicts of Interest Rule (DFARS Case  2009-D015) implementing the statutory contracting requirements in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2009  (Pub. L. 110-417).  It was necessary to ensure that the DoD OCI rule and the proposed FAR rule were not in conflict.  As a result, FAR Case 2007-018 has been closed and a new FAR case (FAR Case 2011-001) was opened on October 8, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA amended 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA had proposed to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to provide regulatory coverage, including an "Access" clause that will govern contractor access to Government or third-party information in order to protect the information from unauthorized use or disclosure; and two "Release" clauses that will require contractors to authorize the Government to release information to another contractor, as long as it is protected from unauthorized use or disclosure by the access clause.

This case is withdrawn because some concepts of the case are now incorporated into FAR Case 2011-001.]]></ABSTRACT>

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

Formerly, the applicable CAS standard for measuring, assigning, and allocating the costs of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) depended on whether the ESOP met the definition of a pension plan at FAR 31.001.  Costs for ESOPs meeting the definition of a pension plan at FAR 31.001 were covered by CAS 412, while the costs for ESOPs not meeting the definition of a pension plan at 31.001 were covered by CAS 415.  Now, regardless of whether an ESOP meets the definitions of a pension plan at 31.001, all costs of ESOPs are covered by CAS 415.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA sought information that would assist in determining how best to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to enable public posting of contract actions, should such posting become a requirement in the future, without compromising contractors proprietary and confidential commercial or financial information.  Upon review of public comments and after consultation with FAR agencies, DoD, GSA, and NASA agreed to close this case because the results of the analysis showed that the systems that already exist provide the information that would be obtained if the rule were to go forward and what existing systems don't provide can be obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to provide additional regulatory coverage in subpart 4.13 and in clause 52.204-9 to reinforce the requirement of collecting from contractors all forms of Government provided identification once they are no longer needed to support a contract. This rule was opened based on the findings of a DoD IG report number D-2009-005 which found that PIV cards were not being adequately accounted for after contract performance was complete.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to revise (a) the header for blocks 17 and 18 and (b) block 18 of the Standard Form (SF) 26 to clarify that block 18 should not be used when awarding a negotiated procurement and should only be checked when awarding a sealed bid contract. Agencies identified instances in which contracting officers mistakenly checked block 18 when awarding negotiated, not sealed bid contracts, which created the potential for disputes between the agency and contractors. The clarifications provided on the form for when to use blocks 17 and 18 should eliminate this issue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This NPRM would revise 29 CFR 1610 (Availability of Records: Production or Disclosure Under FOIA), usually referred to as EEOC's FOIA regulation, so that EEOC's disclosure obligations comport with the Openness Promotes Effectiveness in Our National Government Act of 2007 Amendments to the Freedom of Information Act and the Electronic FOIA Amendments of 1996.  The goal of the revisions is to make the FOIA regulation more requester-friendly.  The revisions will also reflect the transfer of FOIA responsibility in EEOC's field offices from the Regional Attorneys to the District Directors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission continues its review of the existing Federal sector EEO complaint process, considering alternatives, and consulting stakeholders about possible reforms that would address concerns about the timeliness of complaint processing, the quality of agency investigations, the proper role the Commission and the federal agencies should play in the complaint process, and the hearings and appellate review process.  The current NPRM constitutes the Commission's intial step in that review.  The Commission will consider additional reforms, including regulatory changes, during the next year.]]></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>

        <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[In 1999, the Commission adopted truth-in-billing rules to address concerns that there is consumer confusion relating to billing for telecommunications services.  On March 18, 2005, the Commission released an Order and FNPRM to further facilitate the ability of telephone consumers to make informed choices among competitive service offerings.

On August 28, 2009, the Commission released a Notice of Inquiry which asks questions about information available to consumers at all stages of the purchasing process for all communications services, including (1) choosing a provider; (2) choosing a service plan; (3) managing use of the service plan; and (4) deciding whether and when to switch an existing provider or plan.

On December 14,2010, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing rules that would require mobile service providers to provide usage alerts and information that will assist consumers in avoiding unexpected charges on their bills.]]></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 it 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 determine 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>Implementation of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010, Section 105, Relay Services for Deaf-Blind Individuals; CG Docket No. 10-210</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 8, 2010, Congress enacted the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA).  Section 105 of the CVAA adds a new section 719 to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), requiring the Commission, within six months of enactment of the CVAA, to establish rules that define as eligible for relay service support those programs approved by the Commission for the distribution of specialized customer premises equipment to people who are deaf-blind.  The goal of this National Deaf-Blind Equipment Distribution Program is to make telecommunications service, Internet access service, and advanced communications, including interexchange services and advanced telecommunications and information services, accessible by low income individuals who are deaf-blind.

On November 3, 2010, the Commission released a Public Notice seeking comment on issues related to implementation of section 719 of the Act.  The comments filed in response to this Public Notice informed the Commission's preparation of the NPRM, released on January 14, 2011.]]></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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FCC amended several rules in the Report and Order.  Specifically, the FCC (1) amended the procedures for discontinuing an international service; (2) allowed U.S. carriers to resell the U.S.-inbound service of foreign carriers; and, (3) amended the submarine cable landing licensing procedures to comply with the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA).  The North American Submarine Cable Association filed a petition for reconsideration regarding the amendment to the submarine cable landing licensing rules. In the Order on Reconsideration, the FCC reaffirmed that the CZMA applies to its submarine cable landing licensing and clarified the rules to ensure the rules comply with the CZMA review procedures established by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce.]]></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[Ancillary terrestrial components (ATC) allow MSS operators to integrate terrestrial services into their satellite networks in order to augment coverage in areas where their satellite signals are largely unavailable due to blocking, by re-using their assigned MSS frequencies. In the Big LEO bands, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) has limited ATC operations to the 1610-1615.5 MHz, 1621.35-1626.5 MHz in the L-band and 2487.5-2493 MHz in the S-band. The Commission seeks comment on expanding the L-band and S-band spectrum in which satellite operator Globalstar, Inc. is authorized to operate ATC. The Commission also seeks comment on what measures would be needed to protect services with which the Mobile-Satellite Service (MSS) shares the S-band.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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, 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 U.S. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit 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 courts' 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.  On August 28, 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, vacated the subscriber limit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rulemaking proceeding was initiated to foster the development and implementation of terrestrial digital audio broadcasting (DAB).  The transition to DAB promises the benefits that have generally accompanied digitalization--better audio fidelity, more robust transmission systems, and the possibility of new auxiliary services.  In the First Report and Order, the Commission selected in-band, on-channel as the technology that will permit AM and FM radio broadcasters to introduce digital operations.  Consideration of formal standard-setting procedures and related broadcasting licensing and service rule changes are addressed in a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.  Further technical guidance is provided in a Second Report and Order.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Second Periodic Review of Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to DTV</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 18, 2001, the Commission adopted a Report and Order (R&O) and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, addressing a number of issues related to the conversion of the nation's broadcast television system from analog to digital television. The Second Report and Order resolved several major technical issues including the issue of receiver performance standards, DTV tuners, and revisions to certain components of the DTV transmission standard.  A subsequent NPRM commenced the Commission's second periodic review of the progress of the digital television conversion.  The resulting R&O adopted a multi-step process to create a new DTV table of allotments and authorizations.  Also in the R&O, the Commission adopted replication and maximization deadlines for DTV broadcasters and updated rules in recognition revisions to broadcast transmission standards.

The Second R&O adopts disclosure requirements for televisions that do not include a digital tuner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Children&apos;s TV, Obligations of Digital TV Broadcasters (MM Docket No. 00-167)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding seeks comment on a range of issues related to application of our existing children's programming rules to digital broadcasting. The NPRM focused primarily on two areas: the obligation of commercial television broadcast licensees to provide educational and informational programming for children and the requirement that television broadcast licensees limit the amount of advertising in children's programs.

The resulting Report and Order addressed the obligation of DTV broadcasters to provide programming to children.  Further, the Report and Order amended the Commission's rules regarding on-air identification of children's programming.  Regarding commercial time limits, the R&O addressed issues related to the definition of "commercial matter."

On March 17, 2006, the Commission adopted a Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking public comment on a joint proposal filed by industry representatives and children's television advocates.

The Second Order on Reconsideration and the Second Report clarified rules regarding the obligation to provide children's programming on DTV multicast channels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Radio Market Definitions (MM Docket No. 03-130)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This FNPRM proposes changes to local ownership rules and policies concerning multiple ownership of radio broadcasting stations.  The Commission examines the effect our current rules have had on the public and seeks comments to better serve our communities.  This action is also intended to consider possible changes to our current local market radio ownership rules and policies in accordance with the Telecommunications Act of 1996.  Because of the similarity of the issues presented in the Multiple Ownership of Radio Broadcast Stations in Local Markets to those in the Matter of Definition of Radio Market, the two actions were, in effect, consolidated.

These issues were evaluated as part of the Commission's biennial review of Media Ownership rules.  An NPRM was initiated regarding the definition of radio markets in smaller communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Enhanced and Standardized Disclosure (MM Docket No. 00-168)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>
        <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.

        <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 and bulk billing arrangements.  The Second Report and Order concludes that MVPDs should not be prohibited from using bulk billing arrangements or exclusive marketing arrangements.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The concept of localism has been a cornerstone of broadcast regulation.  The Commission has consistently held that as temporary trustee of the public's airwaves, broadcasters are obligated to operate their stations to serve the public interest.  Specifically, broadcasters are required to air programming responsive to the needs and issues of the people in their licensed communities.  The Commission opened this proceeding to seek input on a number of issues related to broadcast localism.]]></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>

        <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>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>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.

The Second Memorandum Opinion and Order finalizes rules to make the unused spectrum in the TV bands available for unlicensed broadband wireless devices.  This particular spectrum has excellent propagation characteristics that allow signals to reach farther and penetrate walls and other structures.  Access to this spectrum could enable more powerful public Internet connections - - super Wi-Fi hot spots - - with extended range, fewer dead spots, and improved individual speeds as a result of reduced congestion on existing networks. This type of "opportunistic use" of spectrum has great potential for enabling access to other spectrum bands and improving spectrum efficiency.  The Commission's actions here are expected to spur investment and innovation in applications and devices that will be used not only in the TV band but eventually in other frequency bands as well.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>DTV Signals Pursuant to the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004 (ET Docket Nos. 10-152 and 06-94)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Consistent with the provisions of section 204 of Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004 (SHVERA) (Pub. L. 108-447,  204, 118 Stat 2809, 3393, 3423-24, (2004), codified at 47 U.S.C. 339(c)(1)) and the Commission's Report to Congress (SHVERA Report) ("Study of Digital Television Field Strength Standards and Testing Procedures" (SHVERA Report), ET Docket No. 05-182, 20 FCC Rcd 19504 (2005)), the Commission proposes to amend the rules to include procedures for measuring the field strength of digital television signals.  These new measurement procedures are needed to account for the differences that are inherent between the NTSC (analog) and digital television signals.  While the proposed procedures would be generally applicable for measuring digital TV signal strengths, they would specifically be used in determining if a household is served by a digital television signal as part of an evaluation of the household's eligibility to receive a distant digital network signal from a satellite television provider.

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.

The Report and Order in ET Docket No. 10-152 adopted 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 Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA).  The STELA reauthorizes the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004 (SHVERA) by extending the statutory copyright license for satellite carriage of distant broadcast signals, as well as provisions in the Communications Act, and by amending certain provisions in the Communications Act and the Copyright Act.
	
The Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making in ET Docket No. 10-152, invites comment and the submission of additional information concerning the methodological changes for the digital ILLR model with respect to the calculation of diffraction loss close to an obstacle or leading up to and following a pair of obstacles; and a factual or scientific basis for explaining the additional losses in the line of sight range above and beyond the free space loss and two-ray-loss.  The Commission is particularly interested in information on any other techniques for improving the degree to which the model accurately represents the propagation of a digital television signal from a transmitter to a specific receive site and any new data that may be available for improving the model's predictions.
	
This Report and Order in ET Docket No. 06-94, amends the Commission's rules to include measurement procedures for determining the strength of a digital broadcast television (DTV) signal at any specific location.  These procedures will be used for determining whether households are eligible to receive distant DTV network signals retransmitted by satellite carriers, pursuant to the provisions of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA).  ET Docket No. 06-94 is terminated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Operation in the 57-64 GHz Band (ET Docket No. 07-133)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposed to amend the requirements of the Commission's rules applicable to transmitters operating on an unlicensed basis in the 57-64 GHz frequency range (the 60 GHz-band). The proposed rule changes would allow longer communication ranges for unlicensed point-to-point 60 GHz broadband digital systems and thereby extend the ability of such systems to supply very high-speed broadband service to office buildings and other commercial facilities.  The Commission believes these proposals would encourage broader deployment of point-to-point digital systems in this band without increasing the potential for harmful interference, and thereby further the Commission's objective of promoting the availability of broadband connectivity to all Americans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medical Body Area Network (ET Docket No. 08-59)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Innovation in the Broadcast Television Bands; ET Docket No. 10-235</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission initiated this proceeding to further its ongoing commitment to addressing America's growing demand for wireless broadband services, spur ongoing innovation and investment in mobile and ensure that America keeps pace with the global wireless revolution, by making a significant amount of new spectrum available for broadband.  The approach proposed is consistent with the goal set forth in the National Broadband Plan (the Plan) to repropose up to 120 megahertz from the broadcast television bands for new wireless broadband uses through, in part, voluntary contributions of spectrum to an incentive auction.  Reallocation of this spectrum as proposed will provide the necessary flexibility for meeting the requirements of these new applications.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Part 1 of the Commission&apos;s Rules, Concerning Practice and Procedure, Amendment of CORES Registration System; MD Docket No. 10-234


</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes revisions intended to make the Commission's Registration System (CORES) more feature-friendly and improve the Commission's ability to comply with various statutes that govern debt collection and the collection of personal information by the federal government.  The proposed modifications to CORES partly include: Requiring entities and individuals to rely primarily upon a single FRN that may, at their discretion, be linked to subsidiary or associated accounts; allowing entities to identify multiple points of contact; eliminating some of our exceptions to the requirement that entities and individuals provide their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)  at the time of registration; requiring FRN holders to provide their e-mail addresses; modifying CORES log-in procedures; adding attention flags and automated notices that would inform FRN holders of their financial standing before the Commission; and adding data fields to enable FRN holders to indicate their tax-exempt status and notify the Commission of pending bankruptcy proceedings.]]></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>

Wireless licensees must now satisfy amended Enhanced 911 location accuracy standards at either a county-based or a PSAP-based geographic level.]]></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>Service Rules for Advanced Wireless Services in the 1915 to 1920 MHz, 1995 to 2000 MHz, 2020 to 2025 MHz, and 2175 to 2180 MHz Bands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proceeding explores the possible uses of the 1915-1920 MHz, 1995-2000 MHz, 2020-2025 MHz, and 2175-2180 MHz Bands (collectively AWS-2) 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-2 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.

Thereafter, the Commission released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM), seeking comment on the Commission's proposed rules for the 1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHz bands.  In addition, the Commission proposed to add 5 megahertz of spectrum (2175-80 MHz band) to the 2155-2175 MHz band, and would require the licensee of the 2155-2180 MHz band 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, in WT Docket No. 10-88, 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposes steps to make additional spectrum available for new investment in mobile broadband networks while ensuring that the United States maintains robust mobile satellite service capabilities.  Mobile broadband is emerging as one of America's most dynamic innovation and economic platforms.  Yet tremendous demand growth will soon test the limits of spectrum availability.  90 megahertz of spectrum allocated to the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS)  in the 2 GHz band, Big LEO band, and L-band  are potentially available for terrestrial mobile broadband use.  The Commission seeks to remove regulatory barriers to terrestrial use, and to promote additional investments, such as those recently made possible by a transaction between Harbinger Capital Partners and SkyTerra Communications, while retaining sufficient market-wide MSS capability.  The Commission proposes to add co-primary Fixed and Mobile allocations to the 2 GHz band, consistent with the International Table of Allocations.  This allocation modification is a precondition for more flexible licensing of terrestrial services within the band.  Second, the Commission proposes to apply the Commission's secondary market policies and rules applicable to terrestrial services to all transactions involving the use of MSS bands for terrestrial services in order to create greater predictability and regulatory parity with bands licensed for terrestrial mobile broadband service.  The Commission also requests comment on further steps we can take to increase the value, utilization, innovation, and investment in MSS spectrum generally.]]></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.  More recently, modernization efforts for continuous improvements to the universal service programs are being realized consistent and in keeping with the goals envisioned by the National Broadband Plan. 

On February 19, 2010, the Commission released an Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that enabled schools that receive funding from the E-rate program to allow members of the general public to use the schools' Internet access during non-operating hours through funding year 2010 (July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010) and sought comment on revising its rules to make this change permanent.

On March 18, 2010, the Commission issued a Report & Order and Memorandum Opinion & Order.  In this order, the Commission addressed an inequitable asymmetry in the Commission's current rules governing the receipt of universal service high-cost local switching support (LSS) by small incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs). By modifying the Commission's rules to permit incumbent LECs that lose lines to receive additional LSS when they cross a threshold, the order provides LSS to all small LECs on the same basis. Nothing in the order is intended to address the long-term role of LSS in the Commission's high-cost universal service policies, which the Commission is considering as part of comprehensive universal service reform.  April 16, 2010, the Commission issued an Order and NPRM addressing high-cost universal service support for non-rural carriers serving insular areas. In the NPRM, the Commission sought comment on amending its rules to provide additional low-income support in Puerto Rico.  

On April 21, 2010, the Commission issued a Notice of Inquiry and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the first in a series of proceedings to kick off universal service support reform that is key to making broadband service available for millions of Americans who lack access.  This NOI and NPRM sought comment on first steps to reform the distribution of universal service high-cost support.]]></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. 

On February 8, 2011, the Commission adopted a Notice and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in several dockets, including the Intercarrier Compensation Rulemaking. In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission sought comment on proposals to reduce inefficiency and waste in the intercarrier compensation system in the near-term and to comprehensively reform the intercarrier compensation system in the long-term. Specifically, the Commission sought comment on proposals to: (1) Amend its access charge rules to address access stimulation; (2) amend its call signaling rules to address "phantom traffic;" and (3) determine the intercarrier compensation obligations for interconnected Voice Over Internet Protocol traffic. In addition, the Commission sought comment on long-term proposals to work with the states to gradually phase out the current per-minute intercarrier compensation rates and implement a recovery mechanism, which potentially could enable some carriers to receive support from a new Connect America Fund.]]></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 service quality and infrastructure reports with the Commission.  This forbearance was conditioned on the commitment by those reporting carriers to continue to file service quality and customer satisfaction data with the Commission for 24 months.  This condition was intended to give the Commission time to decide whether to collect such information from the entire relevant industry; and in an accompanying 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.

On February 8, 2011, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking inviting comment on whether it should eliminate the narrowband CEI and Open Network Architecture (ONA) requirements that continue to apply to the BOCs.  Comments on this NPRM will be due 30 days after notice is published in the Federal Register, with reply comments due 15 days thereafter.]]></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>

        <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.

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Health Care Support Mechanism; FCC 06-144 (WC Docket No. 02-60) </RULE_TITLE>
        <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. 

On July 15, 2010, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on reforms to the Universal Service health care support mechanism consistent with the recommendations set forth in the National Broadband Plan to expand the reach and use of broadband connectivity for and by public and non-profit health care providers.]]></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. 

On February 8, 2011, the Commission adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on proposed rule revisions to address access stimulation.  The Commission sought comment on a proposal to require rate-of-return LECs and competitive LECs to file revised tariffs if they enter into or have existing revenue sharing agreements.  The proposed tariff filing requirements vary depending on the type of LEC involved.  The Commission also sought comment on other record proposals and on possible rules for addressing access stimulation in the context of intra-MTA call terminations by CMRS providers.  Comments are due 30 days from publication in the Federal Register and reply comments are due 45 days from publication in the Federal Register.]]></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 freeze an additional year to June 2010.  In 2010, the Commission adopted a Report and Order extending the separations freeze for an additional year to June 2011.]]></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>Preserving the Open Internet; Broadband Industry Practices  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Commission considers adopting rules to preserve the open Internet: the Commission proposes draft language to codify the four principles the Commission articulated in the Internet Policy Statement; a fifth principle that would require a broadband Internet access service provider to treat lawful content, applications, and services in a nondiscriminatory manner; and a sixth principle that would require a broadband Internet access service provider to disclose such information concerning network management and other practices as is reasonably required for users and content, application, and service providers to enjoy the protections specified in this rulemaking. The Commission also proposes draft language to make clear that the principles would be subject to reasonable network management and would not supersede any obligation a broadband Internet access service provider may have-or limit its ability-to deliver emergency communications or to address the needs of law enforcement, public safety, or national or homeland security authorities, consistent with applicable law. The draft rules would not prohibit broadband Internet access service providers from taking reasonable action to prevent the transfer of unlawful content, such as the unlawful distribution of copyrighted works. Nor would the draft rules be intended to prevent a provider of broadband Internet access service from complying with other laws. The NPRM seeks comment on a category of "managed" or "specialized" services, how to define such services, and what principles or rules, if any, should apply to them. The NPRM affirms that the six principles the Commission proposes to codify apply to all platforms for broadband Internet access, and seeks comment on how, in what time frames or phases, and to what extent the principles should apply to non-wireline forms of Internet access, including, but not limited to, terrestrial mobile wireless, unlicensed wireless, licensed fixed wireless, and satellite. The NPRM also seeks comment on the enforcement procedures that the Commission should use to ensure compliance with the proposed principles.]]></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.    

In the LNP Standard Fields Order, released on May 20, 2010, the Commission adopted standardized data fields for simple wireline and intermodal ports.  The Order also adopts the NANC's recommendations for porting process provisioning flows and for counting a business day in the context of number porting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Tariff Filing System (ETFS); WC Docket No. 10-141</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 402(b)(1)(A)(iii) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 added section 204(a)(3) to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, providing for streamlined tariff filings by local exchange carriers.  On September 6, 1996, in an effort to meet the goals of the 1996 Act, the Commission released the Tariff Streamlining NPRM, proposing measures to implement the tariff streamlining requirements of section 204(a)(3).  Among other suggestions, the Commission proposed requiring LECs to file tariffs electronically.  

The Commission began implementing the electronic filing of tariffs on January 31, 1997, when it released the Streamlined Tariff Order.  On November 17, 1997, the Bureau made this electronic system, known as the Electronic Tariff Filing System, available for voluntary filing by incumbent LECs.  The Bureau also announced that the use of ETFS would become mandatory for all incumbent LECs in 1998.
On May 28, 1998, in the ETFS Order, the Bureau established July 1, 1998, as the date after which incumbent LECs would be required to use ETFS to file tariffs and associated documents.  The Commission deferred consideration of establishing mandatory electronic filing for non-incumbent LECs until the conclusion of a proceeding considering the mandatory detariffing of interstate long distance services.

In contrast to tariff filings by incumbent LECs, tariff filings by nondominant carriers are currently submitted via diskette, CD-ROM and/or paper, which are cumbersome and costly for the carrier, the Commission, and make it difficult for interested parties to review the documents.  With this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking the Commission initiates a proceeding to examine whether mandatory electronic filing of tariffs and associated documents should be extended to all tariff filing entities.]]></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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[International Fixed Public Radiocommunication Services (IFPRS) is fixed wireless service between the United Sates and foreign points.  Currently, this service is offered primarily for communication between Puerto Rico and Caribbean countries.  In the NPRM, the Commission proposed to eliminate part 23, which contains procedural and technical rules IFPRS, because there were no licensee's providing this service.  The Report and Order eliminated part 23 and the allocation for IFPRS in the Table of Frequency Allocations.]]></ABSTRACT>

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 not 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.

The Third Memorandum Opinion and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order reaffirmed certain rules and procedures for ultra-wideband ("UWB") devices that operate on an unlicensed basis of the Commission's rules.  This action terminates the Ultra-Wideband Transmission Systems proceeding and thus provides certainty for the continued development of UWB equipment, including ground penetrating radars for underground imaging, through wall imaging systems, short-range high capacity data links, and other applications.  This action terminates this proceeding.]]></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>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>

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 (extended by 90 days, if necessary); if the Commission fails to timely act the petition is deemed granted.  In order to act by the deadline, 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 section 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>Guidelines for Furnishers of Information to Consumer Reporting Agencies</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

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>

        <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>

</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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are requesting comment on a proposal to revise their market risk capital rules to modify their scope 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. The proposal does not include the methodologies adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision for calculating the specific risk capital requirements for debt and securitization positions due to their reliance on credit ratings, which is impermissible under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  The proposal, therefore, retains the current specific risk treatment for these positions until the agencies develop alternatives standards of creditworthiness as required by the Act.  The proposed rules are substantively the same across the agencies.]]></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>

        <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[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>Community Reinvestment Act Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC proposes to amend 12 CFR part 327 to revise the assessment system applicable to large institutions to better differentiate institutions by taking a more forward-looking view of risk; to better take into account the losses that the FDIC will incur if an institution fails; to revise the initial base assessment rates for all insured depository institutions; and to make technical and other changes to the rules governing the risk-based assessment system.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Securities of Nonmember Insured Banks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC is revising its securities disclosure regulations applicable to state nonmember banks with securities required to be registered under section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).  The final rule incorporates through cross reference changes in regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into the provisions of the FDIC's securities regulations.  Incorporation by reference will assure that the FDIC's regulations remain substantially similar to the SEC's regulations, as required by law.  The final rule provides general references to SEC regulations by title and part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), rather than by specific references to sections and subparts of the CFR as are currently provided in part 335.  This revision reflects changes to SEC regulations with respect to small business issuers and will provide general guidance to FDIC filers regarding the electronic filing of certain documents.  The amendments to part 335 references to SEC regulations will greatly reduce the need for future revisions of part 335, and the FDIC's regulations will be consistent with the SEC regulations through the cross reference stated in 12 CFR 335.101.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC is proposing to amend 12 CFR 327 to: (1) Implement revisions to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regarding the definition of an institution's deposit insurance assessment base; (2) alter the unsecured debt adjustment in light of the changes to the assessment base; (3) add an adjustment for long-term debt held by an insured depository institution where the debt is issued by another insured depository institution; (4) eliminate the secured liability adjustment; (5) change the brokered deposit adjustment to conform to the change in the assessment base and change the way the adjustment will apply to large institutions; and (6) revise deposit insurance assessment rate schedules, including base assessment rates, in light of the changes to the assessment base.  Except as provided, the proposed rate schedule and other revisions to the assessment rules would take effect for the quarter beginning April 1, 2011, and would be reflected in the June 30, 2011, fund balance and the invoices for assessments due September 30, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Securities of Nonmember Insured Banks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDIC is revising its securities disclosure regulations applicable to state nonmember banks with securities required to be registered under section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).  The final rule cross references changes in regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into the provisions of the FDIC's securities regulations.  Cross referencing will assure that the FDIC's regulations remain substantially similar to the SEC's regulations, as required by law.  The final rule provides general references to SEC regulations by title and part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), rather than by specific references to sections and subparts of the CFR as are currently provided in part 335.  This revision reflects changes to SEC regulations with respect to small business issuers and will provide general guidance to FDIC filers regarding the electronic filing of certain documents.  The amendments to part 335 references to SEC regulations will greatly reduce the need for future revisions of part 335, and the FDIC's regulations will be consistent with the SEC regulations through the cross reference stated in 12 CFR 335.101.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to Electric Reliability Organization Definition of Bulk Electric System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Commission adopts, with modifications, the proposal outlined in its March 18, 2010 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to require the Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) to revise its definition of the term "bulk electric system."  The Commission directed the ERO, through the ERO's Reliability Standards Development Process, to revise the definition to address the Commission's technical concerns and ensure that the definition encompasses all facilities necessary for operating an interconnected electric transmission network.  Also, the Commission believes that the best way to accomplish these goals is to eliminate the regional discretion in the current definition, maintain a bright-line threshold, that includes all facilities operated at or above 100 kV except defined radial facilities, and establish an exemption process and criteria for excluding facilities that are not necessary for operating the interconnected transmission network.  This Final Rule allows the ERO, in accordance with Order No. 693, to develop an alternative proposal for addressing the Commission's concerns with the present definition with the understanding that any such alternative must be as effective as, or more effective than, the Commission's proposed approach in addressing the identified technical and other concerns, and may not result in a reduction in reliability, (Docket No. RM09-18-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed to reform the proforma Open Access Transmission Tariff to remove unduly discriminatory practices and ensure just and reasonable rates for Commission jurisdictional services.  The proposed rule would: require public utility transmission providers to offer intra-hourly transmission scheduling; incorporate provisions into the proforma Large Generator Interconnection Agreement requiring interconnection customers whose generating facilities are variable energy resources to provide meteorological and operational data to public utility transmission providers for the purpose of power production forecasting; and add a generic ancillary service rate schedule through which public utility transmission providers will offer regulation service to transmission customers delivering energy from a generator located within the transmission provider's balancing authority area, (RM10-11-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mandatory Reliability Standards for Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposed to approve three new Interconnection Reliability Operations and Coordination Reliability Operations and Coordination Reliability Standards and seven revised Reliability Standards related to Emergency Preparedness and Operations, Interconnection Reliability Operations and Coordination, and Transmission Operations.  These proposed Reliability Standards were submitted to the Commission for approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, which the Commission has certified as the Electric Reliability Organization responsible for developing and enforcing mandatory Reliability Standards.  The proposed Reliability Standards were designed to prevent instability, uncontrolled separation, or cascading outages that adversely impact the reliability of the interconnection by ensuring prompt action to prevent or mitigate instances of exceeding Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits.  The Commission also proposed to approve the addition of two new terms to the NERC Glossary of Terms.  In addition, pursuant to section 215(d)(5) of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposed to direct NERC to develop a modification to the proposed term "Real-time Assessment" to address a specific concern identified by the Commission.  Furthermore, the Commission raised some concerns with regard to certain aspects of NERC's proposals and, based on the responses from NERC and industry, the Commission stated it may choose to direct certain modifications to the proposed new and revised Reliability Standard, as well as the new Glossary Terms, (RM10-15-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Version One Regional Reliability Standards for Facilities Design, Connections, and Maintenance; Protection and Control; and Voltage and Reactive</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposed to approve four revised regional Reliability Standards developed by the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) and approved by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), which the Commission has certified as the Electric Reliability Organization responsible for developing and enforcing mandatory Reliability Standards.  These regional Reliability Standards have been designated by WECC as FAC-501-WECC-1-Transmission Maintenance, PRC-004-WECC-1-Protection System and Remedial Action Scheme Misoperation, VAR-002-WECC-1-Automatic Voltage Regulators, and VAR-501-WECC-1-Power System Stabilizer.  Proposed FAC-501-WECC-1 addresses transmission maintenance for specified transmission paths in the Western Interconnection.  Proposed PRC-004-WECC-1 addresses the analysis of misoperations that occur on transmission and generation protection systems and remedial action schemes in the Western Interconnection.  Proposed VAR-002-WECC-1 is meant to ensure that automatic voltage regulators remain in service on synchronous generators and condensers in the Western Interconnection.  Proposed VAR-501-WECC-1 is meant to ensure that power system stabilizers remain in service on synchronous generators in the Western Interconnection.  In addition, under section 215(d)(5) of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposed to direct WECC, working through its standards development process, to develop modifications to these to regional Reliability Standards to address specific issues, (RM09-09-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Commission proposed to approve TOP-007-WECC-1 (System Operating Limits) developed by the Western Electric Coordinating Council (WECC) and submitted to the Commission for approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation.  The revised regional Reliability Standard would replace the approved WECC TOP-STD-007-0.  While the Commission proposed to approve the regional Reliability Standard, TOP-007-WECC-1 raised some concerns about which the Commission requested additional information.  The Commission also proposed to direct WECC to develop certain limited modifications to the regional Reliability Standard and the associated violation risk factor and violation severity levels as discussed therein, (RM09-14-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Commission (Commission) proposed to approve the North American Electric Reliability Corporation's (NERC) proposed interpretation of certain specific requirements of the Commission-approved Reliability Standards, TOP-005-1, Operational Reliability Information, and IRO-005-1, Reliability Coordination  Current-Day Operations.  Specifically, the interpretation addressed whether a Special Protection System (or SPS) that is operating with only one communication channel in service is "degraded" under these standards.  The Commission proposed to approve the interpretation as being consistent with and not expanding or changing the existing Reliability Standards.  However, to address Commission concerns that the interpretation fails to specify that a Special Protection System that has lost a communication channel be reported, the Commission also proposed to direct NERC pursuant to section 215 (d)(5) of the FPA to develop modifications to the TOP-005-1 and IRO-005-1 Reliability Standards,  through its Reliability Standards development process.   The Commission sought comments on its proposal, (RM10-8-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Frequency Regulation Compensation in the Organized Wholesale Power Markets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed to revise its regulations to remedy undue discrimination in the procurement of frequency regulation service in the organized wholesale electricity markets.  The emergence of technologies capable of responding more quickly than the generators that have historically provided frequency regulation service has prompted the Commission to evaluate market rules to ensure that they are not unduly discriminatory or fail to provide just and reasonable compensation for the service being provided.  If found, the Commission proposes to remedy the undue discrimination by requiring a uniform price for regulation capacity paid to all cleared resources and a performance payment for the provision of frequency regulation, with such payment reflecting a resource's accuracy of performance.  This proposed action helps to ensure that market rules do not present unnecessary barriers to the participation of all resource types in the wholesale ancillary services markets.  The Commission seeks comment on the proposed regulations, (Docket Nos. RM11-7-000 and AD10-11-000)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transmission Relay Loadability Reliability Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 reliably 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.  Pursuant to section 215(d)(5) of the Federal Power Act, the Commission directed NERC to develop modifications to the Reliability Standard to address specific concerns identified by the Commission, (Docket No. RM08-13-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 invited all interested persons to submit comments in response to the issues discussed in the Supplemental NOPR, (Docket No. RM10-17-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

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 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[The Commission approved two Personnel Performance, Training and Qualifications (PER) Reliability Standards, PER-004-2 (Reliability Coordination  Staffing) and PER-005-1 (System Personnel Training), submitted to the Commission for approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the Electric Reliability Organization certified by the Commission.  The approved Reliability Standards require reliability coordinators, balancing authorities, and transmission operators to establish a training program for their system operators, verify each of their system operators' capability to perform tasks, and provide emergency operations training to every system operator.  The Commission also approved NERC's proposal to retire two existing PER Reliability Standards that are replaced by the standards approved in this Final Rule, (Docket No. RM09-25-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Contract Reporting Requirements of Intrastate Natural Gas Companies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission addressed pending requests to reconsider or clarify Order No. 735, in which it reformed its reporting requirements and instituted Form No. 549D  Quarterly Transportation and Storage Report for Intrastate Natural Gas and Hinshaw Pipelines.  Order No. 735-A generally reaffirms the Final Rule.  It also retracted the increased requirements for contract end dates and per-customer revenue, extends the filing deadlines from 30 days to 60 days after each reporting quarter, and offers clarification on several matters.  Simultaneously with this order, the Commission is issuing a Notice of Inquiry under a separate docket to explore reforms to the semi-annual storage reporting requirements for interstate and intrastate storage companies, (Docket No. RM09-2-001).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission, with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), amended the Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC Supplemental Standards).  The final rule expands existing FERC Supplemental Standards involving prohibited financial interests and clarifies an exception to the general prohibition.  The rule codifies existing reporting, divestiture, and disqualification requirements related to prohibited financial interests and clarifies that an employee may be eligible to defer the tax consequences of divestiture under subpart J of 5 CFR part 2634.  The amendments codify the current agency practice regarding disqualification and waivers.  See 5 CFR 2635.403(a).  Additionally, the amendment makes minor revisions to the definitions, (Docket No. RM 11-3-000; Order No. 744).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments</RULE_TITLE>
        <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[The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), along with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Securities and Exchange Commission, and Department of Housing and Urban Development (the Agencies) are proposing regulations to implement the credit risk retention requirements of section 15G of the Securities Exchange Act (15. U.S.C. sec. 78o-11), as added by section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  Section 15G generally requires the securitizer of asset-backed securities to retain not less than five percent of the credit risk of the assets collateralizing the asset-backed securities.  Section 15G includes a variety of exemptions from these requirements, including an exemption for asset-backed securities that are collateralized exclusively by residential mortgages that qualify as "qualified residential mortgages," as such term is defined by the Agencies by rule.  The FHFA regulations will cover only the securitization of residential mortgage assets.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1209 of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 amended section 26 of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act to permit any Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) to merge voluntarily with another Bank with the approval of its board of directors, its members, and the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). The regulation would add a new part 1278 to the regulations of FHFA to govern voluntary mergers of Banks. It would establish required procedures for Banks to follow in order to consummate a voluntary merger, including authorization by the merging Banks' boards of directors, ratification by the Banks' member institutions and approval by FHFA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA)is proposing to issue a proposed regulation titled "Private Transfer Fee Covenants," to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) (collectively,the Enterprises), and the Federal Home Loan Banks (the Banks) that the entities it regulates should not deal in mortgages on properties encumbered by private transfer fee covenants. Such covenants appear adverse to liquidity, affordability and stability in the housing finance market and to financially safe and sound investments. This proposed regulation would extend to mortgages and securities held by the Banks as investments or as collateral for advances and to mortgages and securities held or guaranteed by the Enterprises.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Community Development Loans by CFIs To Secure Advances; Secured Lending by FHL Banks to Members and Their Affiliates; Transfer of Advances and New Business Activity Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation implements 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 makes 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 makes technical changes by relocating the advances and new business activity regulations to the Federal Housing Finance Agency regulations.]]></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.  On January 26, 2011, the Commission terminated the proceeding and its semi-annual reporting requirements, while encouraging the industry and shipping public to report any new restrictions or disputes affecting shipping in U.S.-Japan trades as they arise.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation H &amp; Y--Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Market Risk (Docket No. R-1401)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 11, 2011, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the Agencies) requested comment on a proposal to revise their market risk capital rules to modify their scope 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.  The proposal does not include the methodologies adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision for calculating the specific risk capital requirements for debt and securitization positions due to their reliance on credit ratings, which is impermissible under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  The proposal, therefore, retains the current specific risk treatment for these positions until the Agencies develop alternative standards of creditworthiness as required by the Act.  The proposed rules are substantively the same across the Agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation M--Consumer Leasing (Docket No R-1400)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve Board (Board) published in the Federal Register on December 16, 2010, proposed regulations to implement a provision of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), which amends the Consumer Leasing Act (CLA).  The CLA requires lessors to provide consumers with disclosures regarding the cost and other terms of personal property leases.  Currently, a lease is exempt from the CLA if the consumer's total obligation exceeds $25,000.  Effective July 21, 2011, the Dodd-Frank Act requires that the protections of the CLA apply to consumer leases up to $50,000, compared with $25,000 currently.  In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act requires that this amount be adjusted annually to reflect any increase in the Consumer Price Index.

The proposed rule would amend Regulation M, which implements the CLA, for consistency with the amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act.  The proposed rule also would impose certain requirements on advertisements for consumer leases.  In particular, the proposed rule would clarify that if a lessor promotes multiple consumer leases in a single advertisement, the entire advertisement must comply with Regulation M unless all the advertised leases are exempt.

In addition, because the Dodd-Frank Act makes similar amendments to the exemption threshold in the Truth in Lending Act, the Board also published in the Federal Register on December 16, 2010, proposed amendments to Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act.

The comment period on the proposed rule closed on February 1, 2011.  A final rule with be issued shortly thereafter.]]></ABSTRACT>

These terms are relevant to various provisions of title I of the Dodd-Frank Act, including section 113 (12 U.S.C. 5323), which authorizes the Financial Stability Oversight Council (Council) to designate a nonbank financial company for supervision by the Board if the Council determines that the company could pose a threat to the financial stability of the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Escrow Requirements (Docket No. R-1406)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve Board (Board) will publish in the Federal Register on March 2, 2011, a proposed rule that would amend Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) to implement certain amendments to the Truth in Lending Act made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).  Regulation Z currently requires creditors to establish escrow accounts for higher-priced mortgage loans secured by a first lien on a dwelling.  The proposal would implement statutory changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act that lengthen the time for which a mandatory escrow account established for a higher-priced mortgage loan must be maintained.  In addition, the proposal would implement the Act's disclosure requirements regarding escrow accounts.  The proposal also would exempt certain loans from the statute's escrow requirement.  The primary exemption would apply to mortgage loans extended by creditors that operate predominantly in rural or underserved areas, originate a limited number of mortgage loans, and do not maintain escrow accounts for any mortgage loans they service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation II--Debit Card Interchange Fees and Routing (Docket No. R-1404)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board requested public comment on proposed new Regulation II, Debit Card Interchange Fees and Routing, which:(1) Establishes standards for determining whether an interchange fee received or charged by an issuer with respect to an electronic debit transaction is reasonable and proportional to the cost incurred by the issuer with respect to the transaction, and (2) prohibits issuers and networks from restricting the number of networks over which an electronic debit transaction may be processed and from inhibiting the ability of a merchant to direct the routing of and electronic debit transaction to any network that may process such transactions.  With respect to the interchange fee standards, the Board requested comment on two alternatives that would apply to covered issuers: (1) An issuer-specific standard with a safe harbor and a cap, or (2) a cap applicable to all such issuers.  The proposed rule would additionally prohibit circumvention or evasion of the interchange fee limitations (under both alternatives) by preventing the issuer from receiving net compensation from the network (excluding interchange fees passed through the network).  The Board also requested comment on possible frameworks for an adjustment to interchange fees for fraud-prevention costs.  With respect to the debit-card routing rules, the Board requested comment on two alternative rules prohibiting network exclusivity:  one alternative would require at least two unaffiliated networks per debit card, and the other would require at least two unaffiliated networks for each type of transaction authorization method.  Under both alternatives, the issuers and networks would be prohibited from inhibiting a merchant's ability to direct the routing of an electronic debit transaction over any network that may process such transactions.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Truth in Lending (Docket No. R-1394)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 28, 2010, the Federal Reserve approved for public comment an interim final rule amending Regulation Z (Truth in Lending)(75 FR 66554).  The interim rule implements section 129E of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), which was enacted on July 21, 2010, as section 1472 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  TILA section 129E establishes new requirements for appraisal independence for consumer credit transactions secured by the consumer's principal dwelling.  The amendments are designed to ensure that real estate appraisals used to support creditors' underwriting decisions are based on the appraiser's independent professional judgment, free of any influence or pressure that may be exerted by parties that have an interest in the transaction.  The amendments also seek to ensure that creditors and their agents pay customary and reasonable fees to appraisers.  The Board sought comment on all aspects of the interim final rule, which were due by December 27, 2010.  Compliance is mandatory for residential mortgage applications received by creditors on or after April 1, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Truth in Lending (Docket No. R-1399)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve Board (Board) published in the Federal Register on December 16, 2010, proposed regulations to implement a provision of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), which amends the Truth in Lending Act (TILA).  TILA requires creditors to disclose key terms of consumer loans and prohibits creditors from engaging in certain practices with respect to those loans.  Currently, consumer loans of more that $25,000 are generally exempt from TILA.  However, private education loans and loans secured by real property (such as mortgages) are subject to TILA regardless of the amount of the loan.  Effective July 21, 2011, the Dodd-Frank Act requires that the protections of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) apply to consumer credit transactions up to $50,000, compared with $25,000 currently.  In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act requires this amount be adjusted annually to reflect any increase in the Consumer Price Index.

The proposed rule would amend Regulation Z, which implements TILA, for consistency with the amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act.  In addition, because the Dodd-Frank Act makes similar amendments to the exemption threshold in the Consumer Leasing Act, the Board also published in the Federal Register on December 16, 2010, proposed amendments to Regulation M, which implements the Consumer Leasing Act.

The comment period on the proposed rule closed on February 1, 2011.  A final rule will be issued shortly thereafter.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board is amending Regulation D, Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions, to reflect the annual indexing of the reserve requirement exemption amount and the reserve tranche for 2011.  The Regulation D amendments set the amount of total reservable liabilities of each depository institution that is subject to a zero percent reserve requirement in 2011 at $10.7 million, unchanged from its level in 2010.  This amount is know as the reserve requirement exemption amount.  The Regulation D amendments also set the amount of net transaction accounts at each depository institution that is subject to a three percent reserve requirement in 2011 at $58.8 million, up from $55.2 million in 2010.  This amount is known as the low reserve tranche.  The adjustments to both of these amounts are derived using statutory formulas specified in the Federal Reserve Act.  The Board is also announcing changes in two other amounts, the nonexempt deposit cutoff level and the reduced reporting limit, that are used to determine the frequency at which deposit institutions must submit deposit reports.]]></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 prohibits 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 are satisfied.  These conditions are 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 provides 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 excludes 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 October 29, 2010, (75 FR 66644) a final rule to implement legislation 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, 2010, the final rule delays the effective date of the disclosure requirements until January 31, 2011, provided that several specified conditions are met.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Y--Conformance Period for Entities Engaged in Prohibited Proprietary Trading or Private Equity Fund or Hedge Fund Activities (Docket No. R-1397)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dodd-Frank Act requires that the Board alone issue rules no later than January 21, 2011, governing the period of time banking firms will be permitted to conform their activities and investments to the Volker Rule.  In general, the statute and the proposed rule give banking entities and systemically important financial institutions a period of time (generally between 2 and 10 years) to bring their activities and investments into compliance with the Volker Rule's prohibitions and restrictions on proprietary trading and private fund relationships. 

The Volker Rule generally prohibits banking entities from:(1) Engaging in proprietary trading in securities, derivatives or certain other financial instruments; and (2) investing in, sponsoring, or having certain relationships with a hedge fund or private equity fund.  However, the statute provides several important exceptions to these prohibitions, including exceptions for market making and hedging activities.  The Volker Rule also applies to firms designated as systemically important financial institutions by the Financial Stability Oversight Council.  The statute, by its terms and without any action by the Board, provides a banking entity or nonbank financial company supervised by the Board an additional 2 years after July 21, 2012, (the date on which the Volker Rule's restrictions are likely to become effective) to wind down, sell, or otherwise conform its activities, investments, and relationships to the requirements of the Volker Rule.  Section 225.181(a) of the proposed rule implements these provisions.  Additionally, the statute and the proposed rule permit the Board, by rule or order, to extend the generally available two-year conformance period by up to three additional one-year periods (for a total of 5 years), if the Board finds that the extension is consistent with the purposes of the Volker Rule and would not be detrimental to the public interest.  The proposed rule requires that any banking entity or nonbank financial company supervised by the Board that seeks a one-year extension of the conformance period under this authority submit a request to the Board that contains a variety of information regarding the nature of the activity and the reasons why the company seeks an extension.

The proposed rule sets forth proposed definitions for a number of items, including: "illiquid fund", "illiquid assets", "liquid assets", "principally invested", "contractually committed to principally invest", and "contractual obligation".

The proposed rule requests public comment on all its provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Truth in Lending Act (Docket No: R-1367)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. 

On February 1, 2011, the Board issued a press release announcing that the Board does not expect to take further action regarding this proposal, in view of the scheduled transfer of rulemaking authority under TILA to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in July 2011, as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  After the transfer the CFPB can take further action regarding the proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z Docket--Truth in Lending (R-1390)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.

On February 1, 2011, the Board announced that it does not expect to finalize this proposal prior to the transfer of authority for such rulemakings to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In October 2010, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision (the Agencies) issued final rules under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) to implement a provision of the Higher Education Opportunity Act.

The provision requires the Agencies to consider low-cost higher education loans to low-income borrowers as a positive factor when assessing a financial institution's record of meeting community credit needs under the CRA.

The rule also incorporates a CRA statutory provision that allows the Agencies to consider a financial institution's capital investment, loan participation, and other ventures with minority-owned financial institutions, women-owned institutions and low-income credit unions as factors in assessing the institution's CRA record.]]></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>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>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 June 2011.]]></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 Commission action by June 2011.]]></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 expects Commission action by the summer of 2011.]]></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.  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 2011.]]></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>Children&apos;s Online Privacy Protection Rule  </RULE_TITLE>
        <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.

        <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 by July 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule Governing Disclosure of Written Consumer Product Warranty Terms and Conditions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rule Governing the Disclosure of Written Consumer Product Warranty Terms and Conditions (Rule 701) establishes requirements for warrantors for disclosing the terms and conditions of written warranties on consumer products actually costing the consumer more than $15.00. Rule 701 specifies the information that must appear in the written warranty, as well as the exact language that must be used for certain disclosures. Under Rule 701, the information must be disclosed in simple, easily understood, and concise language in a single document. In addition to specifying the information that must appear in a written warranty, Rule 701 also requires that, in instances where the warrantor uses a warranty registration or owner registration card, the warranty must disclose whether that registration card is a condition precedent to warranty coverage. Finally, it provides that, in connection with some "seal of approval" programs, the disclosures do not have to be given in the actual seal itself, if they are made in a publication with a general circulation.

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule Governing the Pre-Sale Availability of Written Warranty Terms</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rule Governing the Pre-Sale Availability of Written Warranty Terms, 16 CFR part 702 (Rule 702) published as a final rule in 1975 and amended in 1987, is being reviewed under the Commission's procedures. Section 102(b)(1)(A) of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. 2301 et seq., directed the Commission to prescribe rules requiring that the terms of any written warranty on a consumer product be made available to the consumer or prospective consumer prior to the sale of the product. Accordingly, the Commission issued Rule 702, which requires sellers and warrantors to make the terms of a written warranty available to the consumer prior to sale. Among other things, the Rule requires sellers to make warranty information readily available by either (1) displaying it in close proximity to the product, or (2) furnishing it on request and posting signs in prominent locations advising consumers that warranty information is available. The Rule requires warrantors to provide materials to enable sellers to comply with the Rule's requirements. It also sets out the methods by which warranty information can be made available prior to the sale of the product in instances where the product is sold through catalogs, mail order, or door-to-door. 

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.

        <RULE_TITLE>Rule Governing Informal Dispute Settlement Procedure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rule Governing Informal Dispute Settlement Procedures (Rule 703) establishes minimum requirements for those informal dispute settlement mechanisms (IDSM) that are incorporated by the warrantor into its consumer product warranty. By incorporating the IDSM into the warranty, the warrantor requires the consumer to use the IDSM before pursuing any legal remedies in court. Among other things, the Rule sets out the mechanism's structure, the qualifications of decision makers, the procedures for resolving disputes, and recordkeeping requirements of such IDSMs. The Rule also prescribes the duties of the warrantor in making consumers aware of the IDSM and how to use it, as well as the warrantor's duties to comply with the IDSM's requests and decisions. The Rule also requires IDSMs that operate under Rule 703 to submit annual audits to the Federal Trade Commission to determine their compliance with the Rule. 

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 by July 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Telemarketing Sales Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 10, 2010, the Commission amended the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) to address the sale of debt relief services by 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 amendments also extended 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.  The Commission is considering possible amendments to the TSR to address tax debt relief services.

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.  The Commission issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 15, 2010, and the comment period closed on January 28, 2011. 75 FR 78179.  Commission staff are reviewing the comments submitted in response to the ANPRM on Caller ID and anticipates making a recommendation to the Commission by August 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 NPRM during the second quarter of 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules and Regulations Under the Fur Products Labeling Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Fur Products Labeling Act (Fur Act) requires covered furs and fur products to be labeled, invoiced, and advertised to show: (1) the name(s) of the animal that produced the fur(s); (2) where such is the case, that the fur is used fur or contains used fur; (3) where such is the case, that the fur is bleached, dyed, or otherwise artificially colored; and (4) the name of the country of origin of any imported furs used in the fur product. Pursuant to section 8(b) of the Fur Act, "The Commission is authorized and directed to prescribe rules and regulations governing the manner and form of disclosing information required by this Act and such further rules and regulations as may be necessary and proper for purposes of administration and enforcement of this Act." These implementing Fur Act rules (Fur Rules) are set forth at 16 CFR 301. 

In December 2010, Congress passed the Truth in Fur Labeling Act (TFLA), which amends the Fur Act, by: (1) eliminating the Commission's discretion to exempt fur products of "relatively small quantity or value" from disclosure requirements; and (2) providing that the Fur Act will not apply to certain fur products "obtained ... through trapping or hunting" and sold in "face to face transaction[s]." Public Law No. 111-113. TFLA also directs the Commission to review and allow comment on the Fur Products Name Guide, 16 CFR 301.0 (Name Guide). 

Accordingly, the Commission issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) and request for comments on March 14, 2011. In addition to seeking comment on the Name Guide, the Commission proposed revisions making clear that the Fur Rules do not apply to products covered by the TFLA hunter/trapper exemption. Finally, as part of its systematic review of all current FTC rules and guides, the Commission requested comment on all of its Fur Rules. The comment period closes on May 16, 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 $66.0 million, which was effective 30 days from publication in the Federal Register.  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.  Staff anticipates Commission action by the middle of 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (the FACT Act or FACTA or the Act) was enacted on December 4, 2003.  The Act requires that the Commission undertake a number of rulemakings and studies.  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 Act 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 became effective January 1, 2011.  The Dodd-Frank Act amended the FCRA to require that the risk-based pricing notice include a credit score if one was used.  On March 15, 2011, the agencies issued an NPRM to implement this requirement and sought public comment. 76 FR 13902. The proposal would require creditors, as of July 21, 2011, to disclose credit score information to consumers when a credit score is used in setting or adjusting credit terms.
  
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.  As noted above, the Dodd-Frank Act transfers further rulemaking responsibilities on the transfer date, which the Secretary of the Treasury has designated as July 21, 2011, to the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

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.  On December 18, 2010, Congress enacted the Red Flag Program Clarification Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-319, which limited the scope of entities required to comply with the Red Flags Rule. The Commission and the banking agencies expect to issue revised rules to implement this legislation. 

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>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://www.ftc.gov/os/fedreg/2010/october/101028businessopportunitiesstaffreport.pdf)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 were accepted until January 18, 2011.  Staff anticipates final action by the Commission on a final rule by June 2011.]]></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 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.  On April 8, 2011, the Commission issued amendments to the rule that allow an alternative octane rating method and make minor changes. 76 FR 19684. The effective date for the amendments is May 31, 2011. The Commission declined to issue final ethanol labeling amendments at this time. Instead, the Commission will address this issue at a later date.]]></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).  Some amendments became effective on August 18, 2010, and others are scheduled to become effective on July 19, 2011. On April 12, 2011, the Commission issued a final rule postponing the previously announced effective date of July 19, 2011, to January 1, 2012, provide light bulb manufacturers with additional time to incorporate the new label on their packaging. 76 FR 20233. The Commission also exempted the new label for incandescent bulbs (e.g., 75 watt bulbs), that will not be produced as of January 1, 2013, due to federal energy efficiency standards.

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.  76 FR 1038 (Jan. 6, 2011).

Staff anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission by September 2011 regarding a proposed NPRM for consumer electronics.]]></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 Commission announced a MARS final rule on November 19, 2010.  The final MARS rule prohibits providers of these services from making false or misleading claims, mandates that providers disclose certain information about these services, bars the collection of advance fees for these services, prohibits 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 imposes recordkeeping and compliance requirements.  All provisions of the rule except the advance-fee ban became effective December 29, 2010.  The advance-fee ban provisions became 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.  Staff anticipates that the Commission will issue a final rule for MAP-Advertising in early spring 2011.

The Commission has continued its work on an NPRM for Map-Servicing, including consultations with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau concerning the nature and timing of future steps in this rulemaking.

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>

L. 111-203) provides the Financial Stability Oversight Council (the Council) the authority to require that a nonbank financial company be supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board of Governors) and be subject to prudential standards in accordance with title I of the DFA if the Council determines that material financial distress at such a firm, or the nature, scope, size, scale, concentration, interconnectedness, or mix of the activities of the firm, could pose a threat to the financial stability of the United States.  The rule describes the criteria that will inform, and the processes and procedures that will guide, the Council's designation of nonbank financial companies under the DFA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Authority To Designate Financial Market Utilities as Systemically Important</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (DFA) gives the Financial Stability Oversight Council (the Council) the authority to identify and designate as systemically important a financial market utility if the Council determines that the failure, or a disruption to the functioning, of a financial market utility could create or increase the risk of significant liquidity or credit problems spreading among financial institutions or markets and thereby threaten the stability of the financial system of the United States. The DFA generally defines a "financial market utility" as any person that manages or operates a multilateral system for the purpose of transferring, clearing, or settling payments, securities, or other financial transactions among financial institutions or between financial institutions and that person.  The utility-like arrangements used to settle financial transactions, whether involving payments, securities, derivatives, or other similar financial instruments, are critical parts of the financial infrastructure for the economy and are integral to the soundness of the financial system and overall economic performance. The importance of these arrangements has been highlighted by the recent period of market stress. This rulemaking invites public comment on the criteria and analytical framework that should be applied by the Council in designating financial market utilities under the DFA.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Management Regulation; FMR Case 2011-102-2, Motor Vehicle Management</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, as provided in 41 CFR 102-34.35, a motor vehicle rental is limited to less than 60 continuous days.  If an agency obtains a motor vehicle for 60 continuous days or more, then it is a commercial lease under current regulations.  Agencies, however, often have a valid temporary mission requirement for a motor vehicle of 60 continuous days or more in duration but of significantly fewer days in duration than is typically available under commercial leases, which commonly require a minimum lease period of one year.  Also, some agencies have requirements from time to time for additional vehicles for relatively short periods of time.  As a result, agencies are turning to short-term rentals to meet these motor vehicle needs but have encountered impediments when those needs meet or exceed 60 continuous days but are less than a year (for which commercial leases are commonly available).  In order to address these issues, GSA is proposing to amend section 102-34.35 of the FMR (41 CFR 102-34.35) to redefine the term "motor vehicle rental" to increase the less than 60 continuous day rental timeframe to less than 120 continuous days and adjust the definition of the term "commercial lease or lease commercially" accordingly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document revises the rules governing proceedings before the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (Board). The rules are amended to provide procedures for the electronic filing of documents in proceedings before the Board. Electronic filing is increasingly available in judicial and administrative tribunals to provide parties with a faster, more efficient, and less costly way to submit their documents. In addition, although electronically filed documents will be docketed as received only during Board working hours, they may be transmitted at any time from any location with Internet access.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the GSAR to update the text addressing General Services Administration Regulation (GSAR) part 504, Administrative Matters; subpart 504.4, Safeguarding Classified Information Within Industry; subpart 504.5, Electronic Commerce in Contracting; and subpart 504.6, Contract Reporting. This case also amends the GSAR by adding subpart 504.11, Central Contractor Registration, and subpart 504.13, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel. GSAR subpart 504.4 is being revised to delete certain responsibilities for the safeguarding of classified information because the appropriate office or function responsibility.  GSAR subpart 505.5 Electronic Commerce in Contracting, to delete references to the General Services Procurement Data System, and revisions to GSAR 504.6 Contract Reporting, are necessary to remove information already sufficiently addressed in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and to correct minor editorial changes for clarity and consistency.  GSAR subpart 504.13 was added to comply with the requirements of Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12, as implemented by FAR 4.1300.  The new language prescribes the requirements placed on vendor personnel who must enter federally controlled facilities or have access to Federal information systems to perform contract requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GSA is proposing to amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to amend subpart 532.9 of the GSAR to restore guidance on making final payments under construction and building service contracts to ensure contractors are paid in accordance with their contract requirements and not overpaid or receive improper payments for work performed.  This guidance, which prescribed the use of GSA Form 1142, Release of Claims, for releases of claims under construction and building service contracts, was inadvertently deleted as part of the Rewrite of GSAR part 532, Contract Financing.  GSA Contracting Officers have used this form to achieve uniformity and consistency in the release of claims process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration is revising coverage of the disposition of personal property with special handling requirements and moving it into the Federal Management Regulation (FMR).  A cross-reference is added to the Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR) to direct readers to the coverage in the FMR. The FMR is the successor regulation to the FPMR.  It contains updated regulatory policies originally found in the FPMR. All policy is being migrated from the FPMR to the FMR because the FMR coverage is written in plain language to provide agencies with updated regulatory material that is easy to read and understand.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule defines a process for collecting transaction-level data regarding relocation of Federal civilian employees. Specifically, this rule would require that agencies that spend more than $5 million per year on travel and relocation send transaction-level data on relocation to GSA at least quarterly. GSA will store this data in a data warehouse that the agencies will be able to query to answer operational, managerial, and policy questions. In addition to the transaction-level reporting process, this proposed rule also would establish an annual reporting requirement for data regarding employee relocation and would modify the existing requirement for large agencies to collect and report data on temporary duty travel on an annual basis, instead of biennially.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Travel Regulation; FTR Case 2007-304 and 2003-309, Relocation Allowances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule is a combination of two previous proposed rules (69 FR 68111, Nov. 23, 2004, and 72 FR 43216, Aug. 3, 2007).  The result is a unified, single final rule that addresses a wide range of relocation issues that came out of both a Relocation Best Practices Committee and a Chartered Government Relocation Advisory Board (GRAB). Some of the changes for relocation issues includes; (1) Adopts the IRS's 50-mile test for local vs. relocation moves, (2) Reduces total time to complete a relocation from two years with a possible two year extension to one year with a possible one year extension, (3) Requires that agencies provide counseling to all transferees and recommends counseling employees before they accept a transfer,  (4) Uses the standard continental United States (CONUS) per diem for calculating actual expense per diems for house hunting trips (HHTs) and the locality rate per diem for calculating lump-sum HHT benefits, (5) Requires employees choosing a lump sum reimbursement Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expense (TQSE) reimbursement to sign a statement certifying that TQSE expenses will actually be incurred, (6) Clarifies that the definition of 18,000 pounds net weight allowance for household goods does not include packing materials for uncrated and van line, (7) Adds requirements to the conditions for shipping a Privately Owned Vehicle (POV), that the vehicle be in operating order, legally tagged, and that the distance be 600 miles or more, and (8) Many other changes as listed in the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GSA is amending the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) by removing the Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) rates from section 301-10.303. These rates will be published on a periodic basis as FTR Bulletins by the Office of Governmentwide Policy, Office of Travel, Transportation and Asset Management, and will be posted on the Internet at www.gsa.gov/ftr. This amendment also revises the reimbursement amount for travelers who are authorized to use a Government Owned Automobile (GOA) for temporary duty travel (TDY) and choose to use their privately owned automobile (POA) instead; updates the definition of "official station"; clarifies 
various provisions of chapters 301, 302, and 303 regarding temporary duty (TDY) and relocation travel; and makes certain grammatical corrections, where applicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises the NASA FAR Supplement to change the coverage of the existing  cross waiver clauses to reflect the revised NASA authority established by the final rule published at 73 Fed. Reg. 10143-50, dated 26 February 2008, consistent with the change in NASA programs  Cross-waivers of liability are situations in which all parties participating in a venture agree to exempt other partners from liability for damage.  NASA has included cross waiver of liability clauses in all launch services agreements with U.S. and foreign parties since NASA's original cross-waiver regulations were published in 1991. However, those clauses were focused on launch services for Space Shuttle whereas the restructured clauses in this rule extend the existing principles into contracts for International Space Station (ISS) activities that involve a launch and Science or Space Exploration activities unrelated to the ISS that involve a launch.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises the NASA Grant and Cooperation Handbook at 14 CFR 1260.12(B)(2) and 1260.12(B)(3)(iii) to delete the requirement for U.S. Citizenship in order to receive direct support under education and training grants. The rule is needed because the current language is in error.  NASA should not have imposed a U.S. Citizenship requirement because there is no underlying statutory requirement for same, and it is impossible to restrict benefits of training grants, such as web information or public library programs to only U.S. citizens. The recipient of the grant must be a U.S. Citizen, but everyone who receives a benefit from the grant does not have to be a U.S. citizen.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NFS currently includes contract clauses that provide the legal authority for NASA personnel to release restricted information to contractors for performance of a NASA contract and that address the protection and handling of such information provided to contractors.  However, the existing clauses have caused confusion both within NASA and within the contractor community. This rule clarifies the definition of "restricted information," clarifies the applicability of the clauses, clarifies the relationship of the NFS clause to other FAR data rights clauses, and moves the coverage from the NFS section addressing service contracts to the more appropriate section addressing data rights applicable to all contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

This proposed rule would replace procedures contained in NASA's current regulation at 14 CFR 1216.3, Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act. The revision is necessary to clarify and update the current regulation. This proposed regulation is accompanied by a detailed Preamble. As part of this rulemaking, NASA is proposing to amend existing and add new categories of actions eligible for categorical exclusion and add generally applicable extraordinary circumstances to bound the use of all NASA categorical exclusions (CatExs). Consistent with CEQ regulations, subpart 1216.304 of the proposed rule defines "categorical exclusion" to mean "categories of agency actions with no individually or cumulatively significant effect on the human environment." Some of the new CatExs are similar to the CatExs of other Federal agencies and reflect NASA experience with similar factual circumstances.  The Preamble cites related CatExs from the NEPA regulations of other Federal agencies and examples of NASA NEPA Actions for each of the 23 CatExs proposed.  Additional examples supporting the CatExs and NEPA documents supporting this proposed rule are also available at NASA's NEPA Library at http://www.nasa.gov/green/nepa.  Since the previous major update of NASA's NEPA regulation in 1988, a number of Executive orders have streamlined the Federal Government through decentralization, reduction and simplification of regulations, and management of risk. This proposed rule strives to meet the spirit of these Executive orders which are also summarized in the Preamble.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In Federal Register Volume 73, Number 157, page 47246, dated Wednesday, August 13, 2008, the Office of Federal Financial Management, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) advised that the Federal Cash Transactions Report, SF-272, which is used to request and process advance payments, would be replaced by SF-425 no later than October 1, 2009. Agencies were directed to "transition" from the SF-272 to the SF-425 as soon as possible after October 1, 2008, and no later than October 1, 2009.  To meet that requirement, NASA must revise the NASA Federal Acquisition Regulation supplement requirement to utilize SF-272 when requesting advance payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is required by Homeland Security Presidential Directives-12 (HSPD-12).  NASA's clause will be used in conjunction with FAR clause 52.204-9, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel.  It requires contractors to comply with procedures set forth in NASA Interim Directive (NID) Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Policy and Procedures, dated May 24, 2007, and NASA Policy Regulation (NPR)-1600.1, NASA Security Program Procedural Requirements w/Change 1.  The purpose of the rule is to establish a new NFS Subpart 1804.13 which serves to pull Agency procedures into contracts and require flow down to subcontractors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revises the NASA FAR Supplement to update the clause at 1852.247-71, Protection of the Florida Manatee.  This rule is issued pursuant to the authority of 42 U.S.C. 2455(a) and 2473(c)(1).  It implements the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Pub. L. 93-205), as amended, and the Marine Mammals Protection Act of 1972 (Pub. L. 92-522), as amended.  These laws designate the Indian River Lagoon System, which is within and adjacent to NASA's Kennedy Space Center as a critical habitat for the Florida Manatee.  These laws establish requirements for operations in the Indian River Lagoon System and the NASA FAR Supplement clause ensures that NASA contractors obtain the necessary permits and follow the safety requirements set forth in the public laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

Accordingly, it has been determined that 14 CFR part 1209, subpart 4, should be amended to remove reference to an obsolete NASA Management Instruction in section 1209.402 paragraph (a) and remove section 1209.402 paragraph (b) as being superseded by Government-wide licensing regulations (37 CFR Part 404).  Additionally,  1209.403 is amended to afford organizational flexibility to the Administrator in the functional placement of the Inventions and Contributions Board within the agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NASA is amending certain sections of 14 CFR part 1240 "Inventions and Contributions" to restore text that was inadvertently omitted in an earlier revision and to update references to the process for submitting reports of the filing of patent applications, releases of software packages, and the approval for publication in NASA Tech Briefs of innovations made by NASA employees and contractors. The process for submitting such reports is now entirely computer-based and no longer relies on paper forms. Accordingly, it has been determined that 14 CFR part 1240 should be amended to clarify that eligibility for a patent application award be based on the actual filing of the patent application in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and that eligibility for a software release award be based on the approval of such release by the agency.  The revisions also reflect organizational management changes that have taken place within the agency and the respective resulting responsibilities.  Additionally, the revisions recognize that the agency has transitioned from a paper-based system of record keeping and accounting, under which payments were made in paper format, to a computerized system of record keeping and accounting resulting in electronic funds transfer payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

The FAR rule links award fees to acquisition objectives in the areas of cost, schedule, and technical performance; clarifies that a base fee amount greater than zero may be included in a cost-plus-award-fee type contract at the discretion of the contracting officer; prescribes narrative ratings that will be utilized in award-fee evaluations; prohibits the issuance of award fees for a rating period if the contractor's performance is judged to be below satisfactory; requires COs to a risk and cost-benefit analysis and consider the results of the analysis when determining whether to use an incentive-fee type contract or not; and prohibits the rolling over of unearned award fees to subsequent rating periods.  All of these changes result in corresponding changes to NASA's award fee coverage at 1816.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>A prior rule entitled Earned Value Management (EVM) was previously published under RIN AD29 at 71 FR 66120 (Nov 13, 2006).  The publication was an interim rule and was immediately effective.  It was never finalized.  A second rule entitled Earned Value Management was initiated in 2009, and has been identified by RIN AD29 all during the development process.  The second rule is separate and distinct from the first, but because they were both entitled Earned Value Management (EVM), and because the first rule was never officially closed, the rules have become co-mingled and both have been repeatedly reported as actions associated with RIN AD29.  

This current action is to open a new RIN 2700-AD74 to identify the second EVM rule.  RIN AD29 will be closed out through the publication of a final rule on the first EVM action.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

This rewrite of NFS Part 1845 and Subpart 1852.245 realigns Agency regulations with the new definitions, practices and policy of the FAR; a policy that fosters efficiency, flexibility, innovation and creativity while continuing to protect the Government's interest.  In addition, this proposed rule includes Agency-level procedures and  solicitation provision  and contract clause language necessary  to identify contractor acquired assets which would become capital assets of the Government, in order to comply with FASAB  Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standard (SFFAS) No. 6.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Release of Restricted Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NFS currently includes contract clauses that provide the legal authority for NASA personnel to release restricted information to contractors for performance of a NASA contract and that address the protection and handling of such information provided to contractors.  However, the existing clauses have caused confusion both within NASA and within the contractor community. This rule clarifies the definition of "restricted information," clarifies the applicability of the clauses, clarifies the relationship of the NFS clause to other FAR data rights clauses, and moves the coverage from the NFS section addressing service contracts to the more appropriate section addressing data rights applicable to all contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed changes would affect calculations for the long-term real estate loan and member business loan components of the RBNW calculation.  The proposed rule is intended to create a more robust and meaningful RBNW requirement that will establish more appropriate net worth requirements for credit unions willing to engage in concentrations of riskier assets.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rule is intended to help safeguard the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) by preventing the wrongful or improper disposition of FICU assets and to inhibit unwarranted rewards to IAPs who may have contributed to an FICU's troubled condition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amended part 707 by making several clarifications regarding the electronic disclosure of overdraft fees, the terminology for overdraft fee disclosures and retail sweep accounts.  In accordance with the Truth and Savings Act, these changes are substantially similar to changes the Federal Reserve Board made in a recent final rule.  The final rule was unchanged from the earlier interim final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Low-Income Definition</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NCUA amended the definition of "low-income members" to clarify that, in determining if a credit union qualifies for a low-income designation, the comparison of credit union data, whether individual or family income data, must be with statistical data for the same category.  The amendment clarifies 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>Definition of Sole Proprietary Interest</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 activities on Indian lands. Neither IGRA nor the NIGC's current regulations define "sole proprietary interest."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) is considering revising its fees regulation. Currently fees are calculated on the calendar year. The Commission is considering calculating fees on each tribe's fiscal year and to require quarterly fee payments instead of yearly payments. Additionally, the Commission is considering implementing a late payment system in lieu of a Notice of Violation (NOV) for late submissions of fees. Finally, the Commission is considering revising the rule to ensure fingerprint fees reflect the cost of fingerprint processing by providing for the annual review and adjustment of fees.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Labor Relations Board has proposed a rule requiring all employers subject to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to post in their workplaces notices informing employees of their rights under the NLRA.  The rule would apply to labor organizations in their capacity as employers.  The intended effects are to increase knowledge of NLRA rights on the part of employees, to better enable the exercise of those rights, and to promote compliance with the NLRA by both employers and unions.  The proposed rule contains suggested provisions concerning sanctions and remedies that might be imposed if an employer fails to comply with the requirements of the rule.]]></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 under 10 CFR part 50 and holders of a combined license under 10 CFR part 52 with nuclear power plants under construction.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Tribal government would be required to protect the shipment information as Safeguards Information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Distribution of Source Material To Exempt Persons and General Licensees and Revision of General License and Exemptions [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 Petition for Rulemaking, PRM-40-27 submitted by the State of Colorado and Organization of Agreement States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to enhance the emergency preparedness regulations to address concerns post September 11, 2001, as well as improve the emergency preparedness process.  It would codify certain voluntary protective measures that appear in U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Bulletin 2005-02, "Emergency Preparedness and Response Actions for Security-Based Events," dated July 18, 2005, and other generically applicable requirements similar to those previously imposed by Commission orders.  In addition, the proposed rule would amend other licensee emergency plan requirements based on a comprehensive review of the NRC's emergency preparedness (EP) regulations and guidance.  The requirements (1) enhance a licensee's ability to prepare and take certain EP actions and protective measures in the event of a radiological emergency; (2) address, in part, security-related EP issues identified after the terrorist events of September 11, 2001; (3) clarify regulations to effect consistent emergency plan implementation among licensees; and (4) modify certain EP requirements to be more effective and efficient.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Fingerprint-Based Criminal History Records Checks for Individuals Seeking Unescorted Access to Research and Test Reactors [NRC-2008-0619]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to require research and test reactor licensees (also called nonpower reactor licensees) to obtain a fingerprint-based criminal history records check before granting any individual unescorted access to their facilities.  This action is necessary to comply with the requirements of section 652 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which amended section 149 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, to require fingerprinting and a Federal Bureau of Investigation identification and a criminal history records check of any person who is permitted unescorted access to a utilization facility.  The comment period was reopened following an external stakeholder request.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's licensing, inspection, and annual fees charged to its applicants and licensees.  The amendments implement the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA-90), as amended, which requires that the NRC recover approximately 90 percent of its budget authority in Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, less the amounts appropriated from the Nuclear Waste Fund, and for Waste Incidental to Reprocessing, generic homeland security activities, and scholarships and fellowships.

Based on the FY 2011 NRC Budget sent to Congress, the NRC's required fee recovery amount for the FY 2011 budget is approximately $915.3 million.  After accounting for carryover and billing adjustments, the total amount to be recovered through fees is approximately $915.7 million.  The OBRA-90, as amended, requires that the fees for FY 2011 be collected by September 30, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Update Fuel Performance Considerations and Other Fuel Cycle Issues [NRC-2009-0082]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations by addressing uranium fuel cycle environmental data (Table S-3) and the environmental effects of transportation of fuel and waste data (Table S-4).  In section 51.51, the environmental data would be re-estimated and reflect changes in the structure and activities of the fuel cycle and the availability of better data.  Estimates of releases of Radon-222 and Technetium-99 would be added to Table S-3.  The addition of a specific value for Radon-222 would address the outstanding portion of petition for rulemaking PRM-51-1, submitted by the New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution.  To provide immediate relief to the petitioner's 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.  In 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 a Staff Requirements Memorandum 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>

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 break size.  This rulemaking would address a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) (PRM-50¬75).  The final rule was provided to the Commission on December 10, 2010, in SECY-10-0161.

The NRC staff provided an initial draft final rule 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 transition break size.  The OGC reviewed the revised rule language and recommended that portions of the rule be re-noticed to provide an opportunity for public comments on some of the new rule requirements.  In a meeting on October 8, 2008, NRC managers decided to repropose the entire rule.  On December 18, 2008, the EDO signed a memorandum informing the Commission that the staff will re-notice the Section 50.46a rule for additional public comments 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 discussed the rule with the ACRS in September and October of 2010.  In its letter of October 20, 2010, the ACRS concluded that the rule was an acceptable alternative for operating reactors.  The final rule was provided to the Commission on December 10, 2010 (SECY-0161).]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) 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 which identified new embrittlement mechanisms for fuel rods with zirconium alloy cladding under loss-of-coolant 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 regarding crud and oxide deposits and hydrogen content in fuel cladding.  With this ANPR, the NRC seeks comment on specific questions and issues for consideration related to this proposed conceptual approach to revising the ECCS acceptance criteria.]]></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 Boiling Water Reactor (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 (ANPR) would provide a new set of risk-informed, performance-based requirements for nuclear power plants.  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 the 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.]]></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>

        <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 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Groundwater Protection In Situ Leach Uranium Recovery Facilities [NRC-2008-0421]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to clarify the regulations in 10 CFR part 40, appendix A, "Criteria Relating to the Operation of Uranium Mills and the Disposition of Tailings or Wastes Produced by the Extraction or Concentration of Source Material From Ores Processed Primarily for Their Source Material Content," to better ensure groundwater protection at in situ leach uranium recovery facilities. The proposed rule would codify practices currently done through license condition to provide the industry and public with more predictability during the licensing process. The rulemaking is being delayed while the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers revision of the requirements in 40 CFR part 192 (which provide the standards for NRC's byproduct regulations).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The direct final rule will amend the Commission's regulations to correct technical errors associated with 10 CFR part 26 drug testing requirements and enhance the alignment of these requirements with the guidance issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  The rule would enhance consistency with technical advances implemented in similar rules issued by the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Energy, and Defense.  This rulemaking is significant because the drug testing provisions of 10 CFR part 26 would be more aligned with other Federal agencies and it enables the correction of the technical and administrative errors that would result in improved drug testing and reduced regulatory burden.  Although an Enforcement Guidance Memorandum regarding the disposition of violations has been issued and few industry concerns have been identified, the rulemaking will correct this particular technical error as well as others.  There is little impact on the public and minimal impact on the industry since the inaccurate provisions are being effectively dispositioned by industry actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the Commission's regulations that govern licensing requirements for the independent storage of spent nuclear fuel.  These amendments include changes that enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the licensing process for spent nuclear fuel storage.  Specifically, they extend and clarify the term limits for storage cask Certificates of Compliance (CoCs) and independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) specific licenses.  The amendments 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 (a "previously loaded cask").]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulation implementing certain provisions of Executive Order 12674 on Principles of Ethical Conduct, as modified by Executive Order 12731, and the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-194), as amended.  Effective February 3, 1993, this ethical conduct standards regulation generally superseded executive branch employee conduct and gifts rules, as well as pertinent portions of agency-specific conduct regulations issued under prior Executive Order 11222.  For certain existing agency regulatory standards setting forth financial interest prohibitions and prior approval for outside employment/activities, an extended grace period was in effect until November 1, 1996, or until individual concerned agencies issued supplemental regulations (with Office of Government Ethics concurrence), whichever occurred first.  In addition, this regulation will now be amended in order to implement certain provisions of new Executive Order 13490 on Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Personnel.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interpretation, Exemptions, and Waiver Guidance Concerning Acts Affecting a Personal Financial Interest</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation interprets section 208(a) of title 18 U.S.C., which prohibits officers and employees of the executive branch from officially participating personally and substantially in a particular matter in which there is a personal financial interest or a financial interest of a related person or organization (absent a waiver or exemption under 18 U.S.C. 208(b)). It also lists and describes interests considered too remote or too inconsequential to affect the integrity of the services of executive branch officers or employees, in accordance with 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(2). Such interests are exempt from the restrictions of 18 U.S.C. 208(a), generally requiring disqualification. The regulation also provides guidance to executive branch agencies as to the kinds of interests that are not so substantial as to be deemed likely to affect the integrity of the services the Government may expect from an employee and which, therefore, may be waived from the general rule of disqualification under 18 U.S.C. 208(a), pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(1). In addition, guidance is provided concerning the issuance of waivers to special Government employee advisory committee members, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(3). A separate interim final rule, published in 1995 exempting certain financial interests arising from Federal Government executive branch employment as well as from Social Security or veterans' benefits from the general prohibition in section 208(a), was incorporated in the overall final rule. Additional exemptions are considered for development from time to time as appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) Applicability Threshold</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CAS applicability threshold is tied to the TINA threshold, as adjusted.  The TINA threshold was recently adjusted for inflation to $700,000, necessitating a change to the CAS applicability threshold.  However, instead of identifying a stated dollar amount ($700,000) in the rule, the CASB proposes to change the CAS applicability threshold to "the Truth in Negotiations Act (TINA) threshold, as adjusted for inflation (41 U.S.C. 431(a)) (41 U.S.C. 422(f)(2)(A))."  This wording change will allow future changes to the CAS applicability threshold to self execute upon any changes to the FAR TINA threshold.]]></ABSTRACT>

OPM also proposes to add regulations to require Federal agencies to notify applicants at key stages 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>

The proposed rule would redefine Dolores, Montrose, Ouray, San Juan, and San Miguel Counties, CO, and the Curecanti National Recreation Area portion of Gunnison County, CO, from the Southern Colorado wage area to the Northeastern Arizona wage area.  These changes are based on consensus recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to best match the counties proposed for redefinition to a nearby FWS survey area.

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection by Offset From Indebted Government Employees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Processing Child Support and Alimony Withholding Notices; Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is required to annually publish updates to the information currently contained in appendix A to 5 CFR part 581-List of Agents Designated to Accept Legal Process and appendix B to 5 CFR part 581-List of Agents Designated to Facilitate the Service of Legal Process on Federal Employees.  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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Absence and Leave; Family and Medical Leave</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes 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>Presumption of Insurable Interest for Domestic Partners and Parties to a Civil Union
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. 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 (OPM) proposes to amend 5 CFR part 843 by removing the tables of present value factors which appear at appendix A to subpart C of part 843 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, and by removing the factor which appears at 5 CFR 843.309(b)(2) that is used to compute the payment of the basic employee death benefit in 36 equal installments, when that option is elected.   The deletion of appendix A, the removal of the associated reference to appendix A in subpart C of part 843, and the removal of the factor used to compute the payment of the basic employee death benefit in 36 monthly installments will have no substantive effect.  In the future, OPM will announce any changes to the tables of present value factors that currently appear at appendix A and the factor used to compute the payment of the basic employee death benefit in 36 equal installments, that currently appears at 5 CFR 843.309(b)(2), by publishing notices in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

This proposed regulation also clarifies OPM's role as the regulator for the FLTCIP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will issue 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to abolish the Cumberland, Maine, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area and redefine Cumberland, Kennebec, and Penobscot Counties, ME, as areas of application to the York, ME, NAF FWS wage area.

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing final 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of National Security Positions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will revise its regulation regarding designation of national security positions.  This 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 final 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Garnishment of Accounts Containing Federal Benefit Payments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Treasury, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Veteran Affairs, the Railroad Retirement Board and the Office of Personnel Management were cosignatories to a proposed rule to implement statutory restrictions on the garnishment of Federal benefit payments.  The joint notice of proposed rulemaking was published in the Federal Register at 75 FR 20299, on April 19, 2010.  Public comments were due June 18, 2010.  The agencies met numerous times to review the comments and draft changes to the proposed rule.  The agencies are issuing an final rule to implement the statutory restrictions on the garnishment of Federal benefit payments.  The rule establishes procedures that financial institutions must follow when they receive a garnishment order against an account holder who receives  certain types of Federal benefit payments by direct deposit.  The rule requires financial institutions that receive such a garnishment order to determine the sum of such Federal benefit payments deposited to the account during a two month period, and to ensure that the account holder has access to an amount equal to that sum  or to the current balance of the account, whichever is lower. The interim final rule was circulated for agency signatures on January 25, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Under additional information, I would add: The Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.) (APA) generally requires public notice before promulgation of regulations.  See 5 U.S.C. 553(b).  The Agencies published a notice of proposed rulemaking requesting comment on the proposed garnishment rule on April 19, 2010 (75 FR 20299).  The Agencies have considered the comments received in developing this interim final rule but also wish to provide the public another opportunity to comment on it.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Retirement Eligibility for Customs and Border Protection Officers Under CSRS and FERS</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will amend parts 831, 841, and 842 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, to reflect changes in the retirement benefits available to customs and border protection officers under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS).    These  rules incorporate amendments to CSRS and FERS retirement law pursuant to section 535 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2008 (Pub. L. 110-161, 121 Stat. 2042).  The Act provides early retirement and enhanced annuity benefits for customs and border protection officers employed by the United States Department of Homeland Security under CSRS and FERS; requires an increase in the percentage rate of withholdings from the basic pay of customs and border protection officers; and establishes mandatory retirement of customs and border protection officers at age 57.

Section 535 of Division E (the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2008) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 110-161 (approved December 26, 2007), enacts new human capital management provisions applicable to specified Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officers. In addition to the provisions that will be continuing and that will apply to individuals employed by CBP on its effective date, section 535 also includes unique provisions applicable only to individuals who are CBPOs on its effective date. The law prescribed that "Any regulations necessary to carry out the amendments made by this section shall be prescribed by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Internal Revenue Service Broadbanding Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will issue final regulations to revise the criteria for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) broadbanding systems. The final regulations would provide the Department of the Treasury with the flexibility, in coordination with OPM, to establish broader pay bands for covered IRS employees. The final regulations also would establish a more direct relationship between pay and performance.  Finally, the final regulations would revise the criteria consistent with the changes in the General Schedule pay administration rules made by the Federal Workforce Flexibility Act of 2004 and OPM implementing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued final regulations to implement the use of sick leave for a family member exposed to a communicable disease that would jeopardize the health of others and to expand the use of advance sick leave.  The final regulation also implemented the sick leave portions of the NDAA for FY 2010 (Pub.L. 111-84, October 28, 2009) that amended the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provisions in 5 U.S.C. 6381-6383 to allow an employee to substitute up to 26 weeks of sick leave for unpaid FMLA leave when caring for a covered service member injured in the line of duty while on active duty.  

The FMLA portion of the proposed regulation has been separated and will be addressed under RIN 3206-AM12.]]></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>

That regulation sets forth rules on PBGC's guarantee of pension plan benefits, including rules on the phase-in of the guarantee.  The amendments would implement section 403 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, which provides that the phase-in period for the guarantee of a benefit payable solely by reason of an "unpredictable contingent event," such as a plant shutdown, starts no earlier than the date of the shutdown or other unpredictable contingent event.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 Carrier 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 Federal banking agencies, the Commission (and, in the case of securitization of "any residential mortgage asset," the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency, collectively, the Agencies) are required by section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Act to jointly prescribe regulations on risk retention in offerings of asset-backed securities.  The joint regulations proposed by the Agencies would meet the Act's requirement that securitizers of asset-backed securities retain not less than five percent of the credit risk for any asset that is transferred, sold, or conveyed through the issuance of an asset-backed security by the securitizer.  Pursuant to section 941, the proposed joint regulations would implement the Act's mandate that asset-backed securities collateralized by low risk assets, such as qualified residential mortgages, be exempt from risk retention.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to Rule 3a-7 Under the Investment Company Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Commission to review any references or requirements regarding credit ratings in its regulations and substitute other appropriate standards of credit-worthiness by July 21, 2011.  The Division is considering recommending that the Commission propose amendments to Rule 3a-7, the rule that excludes certain asset-backed securities issuers from the definition of investment company, subject to various conditions.  These proposals would eliminate references to credit ratings in the rule and replace them with conditions designed to address investor protection concerns.  They would also propose deeming an issuer relying on the rule to be an investment company for the limited purposes of: 1) Determining whether a holder of the issuer's securities meets the definition of investment company under the Investment Company Act, and 2) precluding a Rule 3a-7 issuer from being treated as an eligible portfolio company by any business development company that wishes to invest in the securities of the issuer.]]></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>

        <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 proposed amendments would require any reporting issuer for which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by that issuer to disclose in its annual report whether its conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.  If so, the issuer would be required to furnish a separate report as an exhibit to the annual report that includes, among other matters, a description of the measures taken by the issuer to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of its conflict minerals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Net Worth Standard for Accredited Investors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed amendments to the accredited investor standards in its rules under the Securities Act to reflect the requirements of section 413(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act.  Section 413(a) requires the definitions of "accredited investor" in Securities Act rules to exclude the value of a person's primary residence for purposes of determining whether the person qualifies as an "accredited investor" on the basis of having a net worth in excess of $1 million.  The Commission also proposed technical amendments to Form D and a number of its rules to conform them to the language of section 413(a) and to correct cross-references to former section 4(6) of the Securities Act, which was renumbered section 4(5) by section 944 of the Dodd-Frank Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendments would set forth more specific requirements for safeguarding information and responding to information security breaches, and broaden the scope of the information covered by Regulation S-P's safeguarding and disposal provisions.  They would also extend the application of the disposal provisions to natural persons associated with broker-dealers, investment advisers, and transfer agents registered with the Commission, and would extend the application of the safeguarding provisions to registered transfer agents.  Finally, the amendments would permit a limited transfer of information to a nonaffiliated third party without the required notice and opt out when personnel move from one broker-dealer or registered investment adviser to another.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed new rules that would implement exemptions from the registration requirements of the Advisers Act that were enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank Act.  The Commission proposed for comment new Rule 203(l)-1 to define the term "venture capital fund" for purposes of the new exemption for advisers to venture capital funds in new section 203(i) of the Advisers Act, as well as new Rule 203(m)-1, which would provide an exemption for advisers with less than $150 million in private fund assets under management in the United States, as provided in new section 203(m) of the Act.  Proposed Rule 202(a)(30)-1 also clarifies the meaning of certain terms included in a new exemption for foreign private advisers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed new rules and amendments to existing rules and forms under the Advisers Act to implement provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that eliminate the "private adviser" exemption, extend the Commission's authority to require reporting by certain investment advisers that are exempt from registration, and reallocate regulatory responsibilities for certain investment advisers to the states.  The Commission also proposed amendments to the registration form (Form ADV) for investment advisers to obtain additional information that will assist SEC examiners in identifying candidates for examination.  Finally, the Commission proposed amendments to its pay to play rule and other rule amendments that address a number of other changes to the Advisors Act made by the Dodd-Frank Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed to amend two rules (Rules 2a-1 and 5b-3) and four forms (Forms N-2A, N-2, N-3, and N-MFP) under the Investment Company Act that reference credit ratings and propose a new rule under the Act that would set forth a credit quality standard in place of a credit rating removed by the Dodd-Frank Act from section 6(a)(5)(A)(iv)(1) of the Investment Company Act.  These proposals would give effect to provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that require removing credit ratings from Commission regulations and adopting a credit quality standard to replace the statutory credit rating references eliminated by the Dodd-Frank 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 Division is considering recommendations to propose to the Commission in light of section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed a rule to implement its authority under section 13(h) of the Exchange Act to establish a large trader reporting system.  The proposed rule would help the Commission identify traders that conduct a substantial volume or large fair market value of trading activity and collect information on their trading activity.  Among other things, the information collected could be used to conduct market reconstruction and large-scale investigations of manipulative, abusive, and other illegal trading activity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed rules to specify the process for a registered clearing agency's submission for review of any security-based swap, or any group, category, type or class of security-based swaps that the clearing agency plans to accept for clearing and the manner of notice the clearing agency must provide to its members of such submission.  The Commission also proposed the procedure by which it may stay the requirement that a security-based swap is subject to mandatory clearing while the clearing of the security-based swap is reviewed.  The Commission proposed to specify that when a security-based swap is required to be cleared, the submission of the security-based swap for clearing must be for central clearing to a clearing agency that functions as a central counterparty.  In addition, the Commission proposed rules to define and describe when notices of proposed changes to rules, procedures or operations are required to be filed by designated financial market utilities in accordance with section 806(e) of the Dodd- Frank Act and to set forth the process for filing such notices with the  Commission, as well as conforming changes required by amendments to section 19(b) of the Exchange Act made by section 916 of the Dodd-Frank Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed a registration framework for security-based swap execution facilities (SB SEFs) and established rules implementing a requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act that an SB SEF must comply with fourteen enumerated core principles and enforce compliance with those principles, as well as to permit an SB SEF to submit proposed changes to its rules to the Commission.  The proposed framework includes an interpretation of the definition of "security-based swap execution facility" in section 3(a)(77) of the Exchange Act.  In addition, the Commission proposed an amendment to Rule 3a-1 under the Exchange Act to exempt a registered SB SEF from the Exchange Act definition of "exchange" and new Rule 15a-12 to exempt, under certain conditions, a registered SB SEF from regulation as a broker pursuant to section 15(b) of the Exchange Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission, together with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Nation Credit Union Administration (the Agencies), proposed regulations or guidelines with respect to incentive-based compensation practices at certain financial institutions as required by the Dodd-Frank Act that have $1 billion or more in total assets.

Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires that the Agencies prohibit incentive-based payment arrangements, or any feature of any such arrangement, at a covered financial institution that the Agencies determine encourages inappropriate risks by a financial institution by providing excessive compensation or that could lead to a material financial loss. Under the Act, a covered financial institution also must disclose to its appropriate Federal regulator the structure of its incentive-based compensation arrangements sufficient to determine whether the structure provides "excessive compensation, fees, or benefits" or "could lead to material financial loss" to the institution.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed seven new rules and an amendment to an existing rule related to clearing agencies, including clearing agencies that clear security-based swaps.  The proposed rules are designed to enhance the regulatory framework for the supervision of clearing agencies.  Specifically, the Commission proposed to: (1) Identify certain minimum standards for all clearing agencies; (2) require dissemination of pricing and valuation information by security-based swap clearing agencies that perform central counterparty services; (3) require all clearing agencies to have adequate safeguards and procedures to protect the confidentiality of trading information of clearing agency participants; (4) exempt certain security-based swap dealers and security-based swap execution facilities from the definition of a clearing agency; (5) amend rules concerning registration of clearing agencies to account for security-based swap clearing agencies and to make other technical changes; (6) require all clearing agencies to have procedures that identify and address conflicts of interest; (7) require minimum standards for all members of clearing agency boards of directors or committees; and (8) require all clearing agencies to designate a chief compliance officer.]]></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.]]></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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission published a concept release discussing changes in the U.S. options market since the start of widespread multiple trading of options in 1999 that have had the greatest impact on competition.  The release sought comment on, among other things, the impact on the marketplace of payment for order flow, specialist guarantees, and internalization; whether the Commission should extend Exchange Act Rules 11Ac1-4 and 11Ac1-5 to the options markets; and whether options should be quoted in penny increments. The Division is considering whether to recommend further action to the Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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[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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA will amend its size eligibility criteria for Business Loans and for development company loans under title V of the Small Business Investment Act (504).  For the SBA 7(a) Business Loan Program, the amendments will provide an alternative size standard for loan applicants that do not meet the small business size standards for their industries.  For the 504 Program, the amendments will increase the current alternative standard for applicants for 504 loans.  The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (Jobs Act) established alternative size standards that apply to both of these programs until the SBA's Administrator establishes other alternative size standards.  This interim final rule will be effective when published because the alternative size standards that the Jobs Act established were effective September 27, 2010, the date of its enactment.  These alternative size standards do not affect other Federal government programs, including Federal procurement.]]></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>

The proposed regulation will also address the statutory requirement that a large business prime contractor must represent that it will make good faith efforts to award subcontracts to small businesses at the same percentage as indicated in the subcontracting plan submitted as part of its proposal for a contract and that if the percentage is not met, the large business prime contractor must provide a written justification and explanation to the contracting officer.  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[SBA is conducting a comprehensive review of all small business size standards to determine whether the existing size standards should be retained or revised.  As part of this effort, SBA has evaluated each industry NAICS Sector 62, Health Care and Social Assistance Services Industries, and revised size standards for certain industries in the sector.  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 website at http://www.sba.gov/size, to this purposed rule.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This 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 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>

        <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[In this rule, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) sets 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 proposed 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>

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 authorized 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implements certain provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), which was enacted in order to promote economic recovery by preserving and creating jobs.  The rule amended the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program regulations by implementing section 505 of the Recovery Act.  Specifically, this rule increases the maximum amount of SBA leverage available to an SBIC, changes the calculation of the maximum investment size that an SBIC is permitted to make, and simplifies the requirement for an SBIC to devote a portion of its investment activity to smaller enterprises.]]></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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is temporarily amending the size eligibility criteria for loan assistance provided under its 7(a) Business Loan Program. This rule temporarily establishes the same alternative small business size standard that applies to SBA's Certified Development Company (CDC) Program. SBA estimates that this will qualify an additional 70,000 businesses for the 7(a) Business Loan program and immediately help make capital available to these small businesses which may be affected by diminished credit opportunities as a result of the economy. 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Business Investment Companies; Innovation Funds </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To address a critical market need for early stage equity financing, SBA proposes to license a limited number of Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) each year that are focused on providing equity capital to seed and early stage small businesses.  These SBICs would be designated as "Innovation Funds."    SBA leverage is available to SBICs through a debenture instrument, the structure of which  was not designed to address the needs or circumstances of early stage investors, and thus presents certain repayment risks for such investors.  However, with certain regulatory changes, the risk associated with providing debenture leverage to Innovation Funds may be significantly reduced.  This rule would establish a number of regulatory provisions applicable to Innovation Funds for the purpose of managing overall program risk, including lower limits on maximum leverage eligibility and special distribution rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Business Size Regulations; (8)a Business Development/Small Disadvantaged Business Status Determination</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule makes 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 made to correct past public or agency misinterpretation.  Also, new situations have arisen that were not anticipated when the current rules were drafted and the rule covers those situations.  Finally, one of the changes, implements statutory changes that impact Native Hawaiian Organizations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA has standardized protest and appeal regulations across all small business programs and clarified the effect of a negative determination on the procurement in question.  The rule clarifies 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 clarified how contracting officers select NAICS codes for multiple award task and delivery order contracts.  The changes 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 changes to the Surety Bond Guarantee Program. The proposed rule would allow SBA to issue bond guarantees on contracts up to $5 million and up to $10 million if the scope of the contract relates to a disaster area.  These changes would improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Surety Bond Guarantee Program, and broaden its reach to more businesses seeking bond guarantees.]]></ABSTRACT>

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) amended 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>

        <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, 84, 86, and 91.  Upon our rules becoming final, HHS regulations will cease to apply to us.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Cardiovascular Disorders (3477P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 4.00 and 104.00, Cardiovascular System, of appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of our regulations describe those cardiovascular disorders that we consider severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, or that cause marked and severe functional limitations for a child claiming Supplemental Security Income payments under title XVI.  We are proposing to revise the criteria in 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to revise our rules to identify factors that we consider when we determine eligibility for certificates of coverage under United States (U.S.) totalization agreements, coverage of payment of deferred compensation or earnings from the exercise of stock options, and direct coverage for U.S. nationals employed in the U.S. by another country to which they also hold nationality and with whom we have a totalization agreement.  The changes will clarify certain aspects of social security coverage (coverage) for individuals employed outside the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>How We Collect and Consider Evidence of Disability (3487P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to modify the requirement to recontact your medical source(s) first 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 decide disability claims more quickly and efficiently in certain situations.  Eventually, our need to recontact your medical source(s) in many situations will be significantly reduced as a result of our efforts to improve the evidence collection process through the increased utilization of Health Information Technology.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarifications to Rules Governing the Implementation and Coverage of International Totalization Agreements (3552P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend our rules to make clear that we can accept foreign verification of records from totalization agreement countries.  Additionally, we propose to clearly provide that a determination of whether to issue a certificate of coverage under international totalization agreements is not an initial determination subject to further administrative review.  These clarifications would conform our regulations to both our agreements and our long-standing operational policies and practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exclusion of Certain Real Property From Resources Considered When Calculating Supplemental Security Income Benefits (3622P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to modify our regulations and revise our definition of the home to include real property that an SSI claimant or beneficiary intends to use as a principal place of residence following repairs or renovations necessary to make it habitable or equipped for an SSI claimant or beneficiary.  We propose to exclude, under certain circumstances, such real property from the resources we consider when we determine SSI eligibility.  We also propose to revise our rules on the payment of conditional benefits to reflect the changes we are making to our definition of the home.  We expect that these proposed changes will prevent the loss of benefits for claimants and beneficiaries while they are making certain repairs or renovations to a future principal place of residence.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our rules on how we evaluate work experience and illiteracy or inability to communicate in English when we decide whether a person is disabled.  These revisions ensure that our rules clearly reflect our longstanding policy that if a person has skilled or semiskilled past work experience but cannot use those skills in other work (i.e., the skills are not transferable to other work), the person's ability to adjust to other work is no greater than it would be if he or she had only unskilled work experience.  They also clarify which medical-vocational rules apply if a person is illiterate or unable to communicate in English, who we consider to be "illiterate or unable to communicate in English," and how we evaluate a person's ability to do other work if he or she is illiterate, unable to communicate in English, or both.]]></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 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 keep paper copies of certain documents that we may require;
--  Require representatives and certain individuals to register with us and to provide attestations; and
--  Add new definitions or revise existing definitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will revise 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Eliminating the Decision Review Board (3502F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are eliminating the Decision Review Board (DRB) portions of part 405 of our rules, which we currently use as the final step in our administrative review process for adjudicating initial disability claims in our Boston region.  As of the effective date of this regulation, we will replace the DRB step with review by the Appeals Council.  The Appeals Council will follow most of the rules in parts 404 and 416 that we use in the rest of the country to adjudicate disability claims at the Appeals Council level, with some differences needed to accommodate the rules that govern administrative law judge hearings in the Boston Region.  We will also authorize attorney advisors in the Boston region to conduct certain pre-hearing proceedings and make fully favorable decisions as they do in the rest of the country.  We are making these changes to improve service to claimants and to increase consistency in our program rules.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our rules to require that claimant representatives use our electronic services as they become available on matters for which the representatives request direct fee payment. In the future, we will publish a notice in the Federal Register when we require representatives who request direct fee payment on a matter to use our available electronic services. We are also adding the requirement to use our available electronic services on matters for which the representative requests direct fee payment as an affirmative duty in our representative conduct rules. These revisions reflect the increased use of technology in representatives' business practices. We expect that the use of electronic services will improve our efficiency by allowing us to manage our workloads more effectively.]]></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 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[Treasury, SSA, VA, RRB and OPM (Agencies) are jointly issuing an interim final rule with request for public comment to implement statutory restrictions on the garnishment of Federal benefit payments.  The rule establishes procedures that financial institutions must follow when they receive a garnishment order against an account holder who receives certain types of Federal benefit payments by direct deposit.  The rule requires financial institutions that receive such a garnishment order to determine the sum of such Federal benefit payments deposited to the account during a two month period, and to ensure that the account holder has access to a "protected amount" equal to that sum or to the current balance of the account, whichever is lower.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 116 of Public Law 110-275 excludes in-kind support and maintenance from income for Extra Help purposes.  The change is effective for initial determinations made after 2009 for periods after 2009.  This requires changes to 418.3335, 418.3345, and 418.3350.

Section 116 of Public Law 110-275 excludes the cash surrender value of life insurance from resources for Extra Help purposes.  The change is effective for initial determinations made after 2009 for periods after 2009.  These changes will require updates to sections 418.3405 and 418.3425.

Section 3304 of Public Law 111-148 extends the effective date of a disadvantageous (for Extra Help purposes) report of the spouse's death for a year effective after 2010.  These changes will require updates to sections 418.3120 and 418.3123.

Update 418.3350(b) to be more inclusive either by rewording to read "described in section 416.1124(b) and (c) except for (c)(13)" or "described in section 416.1124(b), (c)(1) through (c)(12), and (c)(14) through (c)(22)."]]></ABSTRACT>

Due to increasing reports of threats to our hearing office employees, we are taking steps to explicitly increase the level of protection we provide to our staff and to the public during the hearing process.

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the Aged, Blind and Disabled; Dedicated Accounts and Installment Payments for Certain Past Due SSI Benefits (622F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These final rules adopt, with some minor changes, the interim final rules with request for comment we published in the Federal Register on December 20, 1996, 61 FR 67203.  The interim final rules concerned dedicated accounts and installment payments for certain past-due Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits and reflected amendments to the Social Security Act (Act) made by sections 213 and 221 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA).  These final rules reflect these provisions, as well as subsequent changes to these provisions made by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA), the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA), and the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA).  The changes we are making in these final rules will ensure that our rules accurately reflect the statutory provisions on which they are based.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Administrative Law Judge, Appeals Council, and Decision Review Board Appeals Levels (3401F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will include in parts 404 and 416 of our rules many of the hearing level procedures now in place for disability cases in the Boston region.  This change will expand those rules nationwide and apply them to hearings on both disability and non-disability matters.  We expect 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Trails System Act and Railroad Rights-Of-Way, Docket No. EP 702</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board clarifies and updates some of its existing regulations and procedures regarding the use of railroad rights-of-way for railbanking and interim trail use under section 8(d) of the National Trails System Act (Trails Act), 16 USC 1247(d), and asks for comments on the proposed changes and how to resolve state sovereign immunity issues.  The Board also proposes to add a new rule to 49 CFR 1152.29, the Board's regulations regarding the Trails Act, that would require the railroad and the trail sponsor jointly to notify the Board when a trail use agreement has been reached, and to notify the Board of the exact location of the right-of-way subject to the interim trail use agreement, by including a map and milepost marker information.  The proposed rules would also require parties to ask the Board to vacate the Certificate of Interim Trail Use (CITU) or Notice of Interim Trail Use (NITU) when an interim trail use agreement covers only a portion of the right-of-way and request a replacement CITU/NITU to cover the portion of the right-of-way subject to the trail use agreement.  Lastly, the proposed rules would clarify that a substitute trail sponsor must acknowledge that interim trail use is subject to restoration and reactivation at any time.]]></ABSTRACT>
