        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 14204 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to make grants to assist agricultural employers and farm workers by improving the supply, stability, safety, and training of the agricultural labor force.  Entities eligible to receive grants include both nonprofit organizations, and consortiums of nonprofit organizations, agribusinesses, State and local governments, agricultural labor organizations, farmer or rancher cooperatives, and community-based organizations with the capacity to train farm workers.  The rule sets forth regulations that address applicant eligibility, application process, application evaluation, grant award, and post-award administration.  The rule also states that further application guidelines may be given in the Request for Proposals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>USDA Implementation of Drug-Free Workplace Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Agriculture (USDA) is removing its regulation implementing the Governmentwide common rule on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance, currently located within part 3021 of Title 7 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 part 182. This regulatory action implements OMB's initiative to streamline and consolidate into one title of the CFR all Federal regulations on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance. These changes constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in USDA's policy or procedures for drug-free workplace.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Fee Schedule, National Agricultural Library</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Agricultural Library, (NAL) proposes to amend 7 CFR part 505 to change the fee structure for interlibrary loan service.  This fee structure applies to interlibrary loan requests only.  The new fee structure is based on payment method (electronic payment or traditional invoice) rather than type of material requested (loan or copy) and the billing surcharge for paper invoices has been eliminated (the cost is now included in the overall fee). These changes will bring NAL interlibrary loan fees up to date in order to support the current cost of providing the service, and will enable customers to estimate changes more easily and distribute them more effectively within their own institutions. All of the interlibrary loan services currently provided will continue to be offered under the new fee structure.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. dairy market has changed a great deal since the dairy import licensing regulation was promulgated in 1996.  In intervening years there have been significant advances in technology and telecommunications and certain processes such as issuing new or reallocated licenses can now be managed in less time.  While in 1996 the United States was a major net importer of cheese, in 2011 the United States is a net exporter of cheese.  Given such large changes in dairy market environment, we are requesting comments on various aspects of the program, such as how the fees are calculated and the basis upon which historical and lottery licenses are issued each year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 for the 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 up-to-date 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 proposed rule would add reporting for pork (fresh, chilled, and frozen box/primal cuts) and distillers dried grain (DDG) to the Export Sales Reporting Requirements.  Under this proposed rule, all exporters of U.S. pork and DDG would be required to report on a weekly basis, information on the export sales of pork and DDGs to the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The MAP forms a partnership between nonprofit U.S. agricultural trade organizations, nonprofit State Regional Trade Groups (SRTGs), nonprofit U.S. agricultural cooperatives, or a State agency, and USDA's Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to share the costs of overseas marketing and promotional activities such as consumer promotions, market research, trade shows, and trade servicing.

The final rule revises and amends 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>

Also, it would remove outdated regulations used by FSA from chapter XVIII of the Code of Federal Regulations, formerly used by the predecessor to FSA, the Farmers Home Administration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is complete. The rule amended the regulations to implement the provisions of the 2002 Farm Bill relating to the establishment of FSA county, area, and local committees, which provides that committees have from 3 to 5 members, that they be representative of the producers in the area, and that the term of office not exceed 3 years.  It also requires that the Secretary solicit nominations from organizations representing the interests of socially disadvantaged groups.  Uniform guidelines for conducting elections that will ensure fair representation of socially disadvantaged groups were previously implemented.  The Secretary may also ensure inclusion of socially disadvantaged farmers by appointing one additional voting member to a committee.  The rule provides for election procedures, including nominations, opening of ballots, and reporting of results.  Further, the rule eliminated community committees from the existing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to establish a system to prioritize contracts and make 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 implementing 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule revises the regulations in 7 CFR part 1437 to include provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill for the Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).  The rule specifies the increased service fees for NAP as specified in the 2008 Farm Bill, section 12028 as follows:
 - From $100 per crop to $250 per crop;
 - From $300 per county to $750 per county; and
 - From $900 per multicounty producer to $1,875 per multicounty producer.

The rule incorporates 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 also implements the provisions addressing eligibility of native sod acreage that is tilled for the production of an annual crop during the first 5 crop years of planting (not to include areas of five acres or less), and coverage for aquaculture producers that will now include all losses related to drought.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is in pending status.  The regulations in 7 CFR part 1435 for the Sugar Program are being modified to account for new provisions in the 2008 Farm Bill.  The April 2009 final rule implemented general changes to the Sugar Program.  The next final rule will add a Feedstock Flexibility Program for Bioenergy Producers to dispose of anticipated surplus sugar supply that would have otherwise been marketed for human consumption in the United States as described in the proposed rule published on October 19, 2011.  (NOTE:  The Feedstock Flexibility Program has not been required due to record high sugar prices.)]]></ABSTRACT>

USDA is amending its sugar regulations to add a new subpart specifying how it will address domestic sugar shortages, particularly those occurring on or after April 1.  For the period beginning April 1, the rule would call for two possible adjustments by a procedure specified in the rule.  The rule will provide sugar industry stakeholders (both producers and users) with greater certainty regarding USDA actions and the rationale for those actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

The final rule addressed comments and changes in response to comments, including clarification of the delegation of the designation authority from the Secretary to the State level, removed the requirement for a request for designation of a disaster area from a State Governor or Indian Tribal Council to the Secretary, added a simplified disaster designation in severe drought situations, and changed the USDA Secretarial disaster designation process from 6 steps to 2 steps for natural disasters, including certain other drought situations.

This rule moved 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conservation Loan Guarantee Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule implemented the provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill that affect Farm Loan Programs (FLP) Loan Making Division (LMD).  Section 5002 of the 2008 Farm Bill authorized Conservation Loans and Loan Guarantees.  Implementation of this provision created a new direct and guaranteed loan program directed at assisting farmers in implementing conservation practices.

The rule established 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 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>Upland Cotton Base Quality</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule makes technical changes to the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) upland cotton marketing assistance loan (MAL) regulations to revise certain grade and quality references.  Changes include revising references to specific quality characteristics of certain base quality grades to simply a reference to the "base quality" of the grade without further specification.  CCC uses base quality to calculate upland cotton loan rates, Adjusted World Price (AWP), and related adjustments.  This change will accommodate any future changes to the base quality specifications that define the base quality characteristics of a particular grade.  This rule also changes a broad reference of a base grade to a more specific reference that names the particular relevant grade.  None of these changes involve a change of policy and would not have affected any program determinations in past crop years, had these changes been in place at the time.  They improve the regulations by maintaining consistency with base quality specifications as that may change in the future.  This amendment will apply starting with the 2012 crop.]]></ABSTRACT>

The new ARPI provisions will also replace the Group Risk Income Protection (GRIP) Basic Provisions, the GRIP Crop Provisions, and the GRIP-Harvest Revenue Option (GRIP-HRO).  ARPI will offer producers a choice of Area Revenue Protection, Area Revenue Protection with the Harvest Price Exclusion, or Area Yield Protection, all within one Basic Provision and the applicable Crop Provisions.  This will reduce the amount of information producers must read to determine the best risk management tool for their operation and will improve the provisions to better meet the needs of insured's.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Peach Crop Insurance Provisions to make peach insurance consistent with insurance for similar crops and reduce fraud and waste by helping to prevent producers from insuring "peaches for processing" as "fresh peach production."

The changes will apply for the 2013 and succeeding crop years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Energy for America Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency implemented an Interim Rule for the Rural Energy America for Program (REAP) on April 14, 2011 to revise and update the existing Renewable Energy System and Energy Efficiency Improvement Program established under the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill).   

This Interim Rule revised and updated the existing Renewable Energy System and Energy Efficiency Improvement Program (7 CFR 4280, subpart) that was implemented in response to the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Program (section 9006 of the 2002 Farm Bill).  The Interim Rule implemented the provisions found in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) that modified section 9006 of the 2002 Farm Bill and various provisions found in Fiscal Year 2010 notices of funding availability (NOFAs) published in the Federal Register.  The Interim Rule provides grants for energy audits and renewable energy development assistance; grants for renewable energy system feasibility studies; and financial assistance (grants, guaranteed loans) for energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems.  The 2008 Farm Bill directs that at least 20 percent of funds be used for grants of $20,000 or less, up to 10 percent for feasibility studies, and up to 4 percent of mandatory funds for energy audits.  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 producers and rural small businesses.

The Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS) intends to publish a Proposed Rule to implement additional changes to REAP to further improve program delivery (e.g., through the simplification of the application process).  The RBS intends to publish the Proposed Rule by October 30, 2012, with a 60-day comment period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Business and Industry (B&amp;I) Guaranteed Loan Program--Rewrite</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Business and Industry B&I Guaranteed Loan Program regulations were last rewritten in 1996.  While there have been some minor modifications to the B&I Guaranteed Loan Program regulations since 1996 to implement Farm Bill provisions etc., some refinements to the regulation need to be made to enhance the program, improve efficiency, correct minor inconsistencies, clarify the regulations to make them more clear and easier to understand, and ultimately reduce delinquencies. The Agency will publish a proposed rule, obtain public comment, and publish a final rule.  

The Agency held several lender meetings throughout the country to see how changes to the program could benefit lenders who utilize the program and make it more attractive for them.  The benefit to the Agency will be that some of the changes proposed should help to lower the subsidy rate, thereby increasing supportable loan level, which is critical to program success as the program's budget is proposed to be decreased.  The purpose of the rewrite is to refine the B&I program regulations, resulting in increased lending activity, the expansion of business opportunities, and the creation of more jobs in rural areas, particularly in those areas that have historically experienced economic distress.

There is no expected cost associated with implementation of the rule and no alternatives were considered.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) established the Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program (sec. 6022).  The 2008 Farm Bill mandated 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 mandated that entities will use 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Re-Powering Assistance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of the Rural Business Re-Powering Assistance Program (sec. 9004) is to encourage biorefineries to replace fossil fuels used to produce heat or power in their operations with renewable biomass by making payments for the installation of new systems to allow the use of renewable biomass to generate power or heat for use in their operations.

Payments will be made to eligible biorefineries until the funds authorized for this program have been expended.  Eligible biorefineries are those that were in existence on or before June 18, 2008.  The Agency will determine the amount of payments to be made to a biorefinery taking into consideration the percentage reduction in fossil fuel used by the biorefinery (including the quantity of fossil fuels a renewable biomass systems is replacing) and the cost and cost effectiveness of the renewable biomass system.

The Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS) published a proposed rule in the Federal Register on April 16, 2010, with the comment period ending June 15, 2010.  RBS published the Interim Rule on February 11, 2011 with a 60-day comment period.  RBS intends to publish a final rule, addressing comments received on the Interim Rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels (sec. 9005) 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this action is to address several issues based on an OIG audit conducted on the IRP in June 2010.  The Agency is making changes to the regulation as it relates to oversight controls such as revising Form RD 1951-5, "IRP Field Visit Form" and other administrative items.  The Agency is addressing the definition "revolved funds" as it relates to Federal funds, which has led to confusion among RBS staff; providing guidance on the number of alterative recipients to visit per intermediary; and to finding the requirement of "prompt" relending as it relates to intermediary requesting subsequence loan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Business Investment Program (Non-Leveraged)--Farm Bill</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 published an Interim Rule, for non-leveraged RBIC as described above, on December 23, 2011.  Based on subsequent application and licensing activity, the Agency may publish a Final Rule by the close of 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Business and Industry Guaranteed Loan Program Default Interest</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this proposed action is to ensure the Agency is protected against paying out additional costs when a lender includes default and penalty interest fees or assess late charges when it submits a final report of loss claim to the Agency.  By defining "interest" in the Definition Section of the regulation and clarifying the Agency's policy as it relates to default or penalty interest and late charge, this will potentially save the Government on final loss claims paid in the future.  Currently, the Agency regulations are silent on the issue of default interest, penalty interest or late charges.  It is the Agency's  policy not to pay out additional cost for default interest, penalty interest and late changes calculated and submitted on a final report of loss claim.  The Lender may impose default interest with prior Agency approval.  These charges must be customary and reasonable.

The interest rates for the Business and Industry guarantee loans are negotiated between the Lender and the applicant.  While the lender and applicant negotiate the interest rate on the loans, the Agency has the responsibility to make sure that the rate is no more than the rate customarily changed borrowers under similar circumstances when there is not a guarantee.  Therefore, these rates are subject to Agency review and concurrence as referenced in the RD Instruction 4279-B, section 4279.125.  RD Instruction 4287-B, section 4287.112(b), does not permit increases in interest rates except the normal fluctuations in approved variable interest rates unless a temporary interest-rate reduction occurred.

The Agency proposes to amend 3 sections in the RD Instructions:  RD Instruction 4279-A, section 4279.2, Definitions and abbreviations; RD Instruction 4279-B, section 4279.125 Interest Rate; and RD Instruction 4287-B, section 4287.112 Interest rate adjustment, to ensure the Agency is protected against paying out additional costs when a lender includes default and penalty interest fees or assess late changes when it submits a final report of loss claim to the Agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Project Financing--Renewable Energy Loans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is considering regulatory reforms to codify statutory changes related to "project financing" requirements to advance the agency's rural development mission and improve its ability to finance electric infrastructure projects, including those that use renewable sources of energy.  Specifically, the agency seeks comments on effective means to implement Section 317 of Title III of the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, as amended (USC 940g) which specifies that the RUS may make loans for electric generation from renewable energy resources for resale to rural and nonrural residents.  RUS is also considering regulations to clarify the agency's procedures for single asset/project financing arrangements for all RUS eligible projects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In order to facilitate the programmatic interest of the Rural Electrification Act that loans made or guaranteed by the agency are adequately secured, the agency has established certain standardized forms for materials, equipment, and construction of electric and telecommunications systems.  The use of standard forms, construction contracts, and procurement procedures helps to assure that appropriate standards and specifications are maintained by the borrower; the agency's loan security is not adversely affected; and the loan and loan guarantee funds are used effectively and for the intended purpose.

The Rural Utilities Service proposes to issue a new Equipment Contract, RUS Form 395, for use by Telecommunications Program Borrowers.  The new contract will reflect present business and utilities practices, as well as changes in technology, services, and equipment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Connect Grant Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Community Connect grant program targets economically challenged rural communities by offering a means for the deployment of broadband service to rural schools, libraries, education centers, health care providers, law enforcement, public safety organizations as well as residents and businesses.  Since implementing program regulations in 2004, it has become necessary to revise the regulation in order to clarify: 1) project eligibility requirements; 2) matching fund requirements; and 3) definition of eligible community (current rules limit applications to a single community).  In addition, we are adjusting the scoring to more fairly assess applicants' qualifications.  These revisions will eliminate unnecessary regulatory barriers that prevent otherwise qualified and worthwhile communities from participating.]]></ABSTRACT>

The agency has identified several areas of the regulations that need to be revised, updated, or clarified in order to more effectively administer the program.  Specifically, certain ongoing administrative provisions such as funding levels, applications submission requirements, and content of the application will be removed from the regulation and provided through the annual Notice of Funding Availability.  Program requirements that are covered by existing USDA Grant Regulations will be removed from the regulation and readers will be referred to the appropriate USDA regulation.

In addition, policies and procedures are proposed for determining the percentage of total project costs the Agency will finance where the project supplies electricity to an electric utility serving an area that is less than 100 percent rural. By codifying these policies and procedures the agency will provide needed flexibility in the methods utilized to determine eligibility and percentage of financing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Broadband Access Loans and Loan Guarantees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency developed an interim 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 have 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 agency revised the broadband rule to address this and other critical issues, and further facilitate the deployment of broadband service in rural America as directed by Congress by: (1) clearly defining served 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.  An interim rule addressing requirements of the 2008 Farm Bill and lessons learned from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was published in March 2011.]]></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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Servicing Community Programs Loans and Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Loan Packager Certification</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this action, the Rural Housing Service (RHS) is proposing to amend its regulations for the Single Family Housing Direct Loan Program to define and create a formal and mandatory process for fee-permissible loan application packaging bodies.  The process will include the requirements for eligible individuals to obtain the designation of an Agency-certified loan application packager and the requirements for qualified nonprofit organizations and public agencies that employ certified packagers.  The process may also include Agency-approved independent nonprofit organizations that serve as intermediaries and perform quality assurance reviews on packaged loan applications prior to submission to the Agency.  In addition, RHS is proposing to amend its regulations to allow the loan amount for the loan application packaging fee charged by a fee-permissible packaging body to exceed the maximum loan limitation.  The fee may not exceed two percent of the average area loan limit nationwide; the Administrator will periodically set a maximum dollar amount for the fee within this limit and set different maximum dollar amounts for packaging bodies with and without intermediaries.  These amounts will be published on the Agency's Web site as an attachment to HB-1-3550.  This action is intended to benefit low- and very low-income people who wish to achieve home ownership in rural areas by increasing the Agency's ability to outreach to them through competent and knowledgeable loan application packagers and to improve the quality and quantity of loan application packages submitted on their behalf.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Facilities Direct Loans and Grants--Consolidate 3 Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency plans to consolidate and update three regulations, 7 CFR 1942-A, 1942-C, and 3570-B, into a new regulation--7 CFR 3570-A.  This new regulation will be used to administer the Community Facilities Direct Loan and Grant programs.  It will also incorporate the Tribal College and Economic Impact Initiative grant programs.  The existing regulations 1942-A, 1942-C, and 3570-B will be obsolete upon publication of the new 3570-A.  The proposed action includes the following:

* Remove references to the RUS water and waste disposal program, which was moved to 7 CFR 1780-A in 1997. 
* Update scoring priorities to reflect current needs in rural America.
* Incorporate information from staff instructions and guidance that have been renewed and republished for many years.
* Make pre-application optional for small (under $300,000.) projects.
* Clarify and coordinate applicant and project eligibility requirements among the Community Facilities Guarantee, Direct and Grant regulations.  
* Update the regulation to reflect recent legal opinions/determinations. 
* Update audit requirements in accordance with latest OMB directives.
* Add "Exception Authority" to allow for the granting of exceptions by the Administrator to portions of regulations that are not statutory.  The granting of exceptions is allowed in other Rural Development regulations under very defined and controlled circumstances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Civil Monetary Penalties</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service (RHS) published a proposed rule 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.  Title V of the Housing Act of 1949 authorizes the programs covered by this part.  An interim rule was published November 28, 2004 [69 FR 69032-69176], to implement those changes, with an effective data of February 24, 2005.  As part of the implementation of the interim rule, Civil Monetary Penalties were included as an enforcement provision in section 3560.641(b).  

RHS proposes to redesignate section 3560.461(b) to reserve section 3560.464 creating 3560.464.  The new section will include the existing language and additional language providing procedural guide proposed changes to Civil Monetary Penalties will be similar to those implemented by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 24 CFR part 28 Implementation of the Program Civil Remedies Act of 1988 and 24 CFR part 30 Civil Money Penalties--Certain Prohibited Conduct.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Development Voucher Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Development Voucher Program was created as a demonstration program by Congress to offer protection to eligible multifamily housing tenants in properties financed through Rural Development's Section 515 Rural Rental Housing Program who may be subject to economic hardship through prepayment or foreclosure of the Rural Development mortgage.  The Housing Act of 1949, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (Pub. L. 108-447) (hereinafter the Act) states: "To such extent or in such amounts as are approved in appropriation Acts, the Secretary shall carry out a rural housing voucher program to assist very low-income families and persons to reside in rental housing in rural areas."  

RHS proposes to create a rule that issues permanent regulations to implement this program. This proposed rule will also provide procedural guidance for the Rural Development Voucher Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Multi-Family Housing (MFH) Reinvention</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service has consolidated and streamlined the regulations pertaining to section 515 Rural Rental Housing, section 514 Farm Labor Housing Loans, section 516 Farm Labor Housing Grants, and section 521 Rental Assistance Payments. Fourteen published regulations have been reduced to one regulation and handbooks for program administration. This will simplify loan origination and portfolio management for applicants, borrowers, and housing operators, as well as Rural Development field staff. This also provides flexibility for program modifications to reflect current and foreseeable changes. The consolidated regulations save time and simplify costs.  Finally, the regulation is more customer friendly and responsive to the needs of the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

L. 111-212, July 29, 2010) to collect from the lender an annual fee not to exceed 0.5 percent of the outstanding principal balance of the loan for the life of the loan.  The intent of the annual fee is to make the SFHGLP subsidy neutral when used in conjunction with the one-time guarantee fee, thus eliminating the need for taxpayer support of the program.]]></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>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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Facilities Loans and Grants Priority Scoring Criteria</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[RHS is seeking to modify 7 CFR 1942.17(c) and 7 CFR 3570.67(b) to: update the priority scoring criteria for population, income, "truly rural area", joint financing and applicant type to achieve consistency with the Rural Utilities Service Water and Environmental Program regulation, which is currently in process; and 2) provide flexibility in setting priority scoring criteria for project type.  The current regulations contain scoring criteria and specific point assignments for only two project types: public safety and health care.  The Agency proposes to publish a Federal Register Notice, in conjunction with these modifications, that would set project type scoring criteria and specific point values for priority project types.  Subsequently, the Federal Register Notice would be published on an as needed basis.  The ability to adjust project type scoring criteria periodically will enable the Agency to more effectively address the changing needs of rural communities.

In addition to 7 CFR 1842-A and CFR 3570-B, this change would impact 7 CFR 1942-C Fire and Rescue and Other Small Community Facilities Projects as the project selection priorities of 7 CFR 1942.17(c) are used for this subsection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Annual Fee for Single Family Housing Loan Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency plans to publish a proposed rule to implement authorities granted the Secretary, via section 102 of the "Supplemental Appropriations Act. 2010 (Pub. L. 111-212) in which the Agency is authorized to charge an annual fee to guaranteed loan borrowers that does not exceed 0.5 percent of the outstanding principal balance of the loan, for the life of the loan. The Agency currently collects an upfront guarantee fee from the lender prior to issuance of a Loan Note Guarantee. The annual fee will be charged in conjunction with an upfront fee to maintain a zero cost program. The annual fee will not exceed 0.05 percent of the outstanding principal loan balance fee.

The lender collects the upfront guarantee fee from the borrower at the time of loan closing, in which the borrower either pays from personal funds, or the fee may be included in the guaranteed loan amount. The upfront guarantee fee is determined by multiplying the current rate times 90 percent of the loan amount. The purpose of the upfront fee is to offset taxpayer cost of the program. However, the amount collected in recent years has not been sufficient to cover the entire cost of the loan, resulting in the need for budget authority to maintain the program. For example, at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2010, the upfront guarantee fee collected for purchase loans was 2 percent of the loan amount, while the actual cost of the program equated to 3.44 percent of the loan amount. Therefore, the cost to the taxpayers was 1.44 percent of each loan guaranteed by the Agency.

The intent of the annual fee is to make the guaranteed loan program 100 percent subsidy neutral, which would eliminate the need for taxpayers to support the single family housing guaranteed loan program. Since the intent is to make the program subsidy neutral, a cost analysis will be conducted each year to determine the actual annual fee required to maintain subsidy neutrality.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supervised Bank Accounts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation prescribes the policies and procedures in establishing and using supervised bank accounts.  Supervised bank accounts are accounts with a financial institution in the names of a borrower and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Rural Development.  All Rural Development programs are covered by this regulation.  Section 335, Permanent Increase in Deposit and Share Insurance, of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. 111-203, H.R. 4171) made permanent the standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000.  The Act was a response to the instability of the financial markets.  The permanent increase from $100,000 to $250,000 took a measure of uncertainly out of the market, especially for depositors with longer-term CB's valued at between $100,000 and $250,000.  Rural Development is conforming its regulations to reflect this recent congressional action.  Rural Development will only require amounts deposited above $250,000 to be collateralized, thereby possibly reducing the need for some accounts to be collateralized.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Environmental Quality Incentives Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) assistance promotes agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible goals, and strives to optimize environmental benefits.  Through EQIP, the Commodity Credit Corporation provides flexible technical, financial, and educational assistance to producers to install and maintain conservation systems that enhance soil, water, air quality, related natural resources, and wildlife habitat while sustaining production of food and fiber.

NRCS published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2009, an interim rule with request for comment amending the program regulations for EQIP.  The interim rule incorporated programmatic changes authorized by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Act), and made other administrative adjustments.  NRCS published a correction to the interim rule on March 12, 2009, to correct language regarding the application of the payment limitation to joint operations.  An interim rule amendment was also published on May 29, 2009, to expand the exception for conservation practices on public land.  This action will similarly amend the interim rule to address a narrow issue of EQIP implementation in response to comments received during the public comment period and through EQIP implementation.  

In particular, NRCS proposes to incorporate a waiver at 7 CFR section 1466.10(c) to the requirement that EQIP assistance for irrigation-related conservation practices only be provided on land that has been irrigated at least twice in the past five years.  Limited resource producers may not be able to benefit fully from EQIP program assistance because of difficulty establishing this irrigation history requirement.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>NRCS Appeal Procedures </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) administers several conservation programs that involve direct relationships with individuals and entities.  Since NRCS may make decisions that adversely affect these individuals and entities, NRCS has an administrative appeals process through which participants in NRCS programs may appeal adverse decisions.  

NRCS is proposing to revise 7 CFR section 614, Appeal Procedures, and issue a final rule based on comments received from participants and NRCS employees over the course of implementing an interim rule published in the Federal Register (71 FR 28239) on May 16, 2006.  The interim rule implemented the National Appeals Division (NAD) Rules of Procedure issued by the Secretary of Agriculture on December 29, 1995.  This final rule would make changes in response to comments to clarify and explain in greater detail NRCS' informal appeals process and procedures.  In addition, this rulemaking does not change the participant's ability to request an appeal.  Revisions made by this action reflect a number of minor adjustments in policy and clarifications of appeals procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates the humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation of certain marine mammals under the Animal Welfare Act. The present standards for these animals have been in effect since 1979 and amended in 1984. During this time, advances have been made and new information has been developed with regard to the housing and care of marine mammals. This rulemaking addresses marine mammal standards on which consensus was not reached during negotiated rulemaking conducted between September 1995 and July 1996. These 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 our regulations regarding genetically engineered organisms to add provisions concerning the sharing of confidential business information (CBI) with authorized officials of State, tribal, and Federal Government agencies. The proposed provisions would create mechanisms for sharing CBI submitted under the regulations pursuant to a permit application or notification. This action is necessary to facilitate interagency communication and cooperation, to increase the transparency of regulatory decisionmaking, and to maintain rigorous and appropriate regulation of genetically engineered organisms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the scrapie regulations by changing the risk groups and categories established for individual animals and for flocks. It would simplify, reduce, or remove 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 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 establish regulations to allow the movement in interstate commerce of certain types of plant pests without restriction by granting exceptions from permitting requirements for those pests. We are also proposing to revise our regulations regarding the movement of soil and to establish regulations governing the biocontainment facilities in which plant pests, biological control organisms, and associated articles are held. This proposed rule replaces a previously published proposed rule, which we are withdrawing as part of this document. This proposal would clarify the factors that would be considered when assessing the risks associated with the movement of certain organisms, facilitate the movement of regulated organisms and articles in a manner that also protects U.S. agriculture, and address gaps in the current regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Beef From a Region in Brazil</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the regulations governing the importation of certain animals, meat, and other animal products by allowing, under certain conditions, the importation of fresh (chilled or frozen) beef from a region in Brazil (the States of Bahia, Distrito Federal, Espirito Santo, Goias, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Parana, Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Rondonia, Sao Paulo, Sergipe, and Tocantis). Based on the evidence in a recent risk assessment, we have determined that fresh (chilled or frozen) beef can be safely imported from those Brazilian States provided certain conditions are met. This action would provide for the importation of beef from the designated region in Brazil into the United States while continuing to protect the United States against the introduction of foot-and-mouth disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

We intend to replace the current label format, which reflects any of four different levels of effectiveness, with a single, uniform label format. It would also require biologics licensees to provide a standardized summary, with confidential business information removed, of the efficacy and safety data submitted to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in support of the issuance of a full product license or conditional license. A simpler label format along with publicly available safety and efficacy data will help biologics producers to more clearly communicate product performance to their customers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Brucellosis and Bovine Tuberculosis; Update of General Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would consolidate the regulations governing bovine tuberculosis (TB), currently found in 9 CFR part 77, and those governing brucellosis, currently found in 9 CFR part 78. As part of this consolidation, we are proposing to transition the TB and brucellosis programs away from a basis in disease prevalence.  Instead, States and tribes would implement an animal health plan that identifies sources of the diseases within the State or tribe and specifies mitigations to address the risk posed by these sources. The consolidated regulations would also set forth standards for surveillance, epidemiological investigations, and affected herd management that must be incorporated into each animal health plan, with certain limited exceptions; would provide revised conditions for the interstate movement of cattle, bison, and captive cervids; and would provide revised conditions for APHIS approval of tests, testing laboratories, and testers for bovine TB or brucellosis.  Finally, we are proposing to revise the import requirements for cattle and bison to make these requirements clearer and assure that they more effectively mitigate the risk of introduction of the diseases into the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Agricultural Bioterrorism Protection Act of 2002; Biennial Review and Republication of the Select Agent and Toxin List; Amendments to the Select Agent and Toxin Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the Agricultural Bioterrorism Protection Act of 2002, we are amending and republishing 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. This action implements the findings of the third biennial review of the list. In addition, we are reorganizing the list of select agents and toxins based on the relative potential of each select agent or toxin to be misused to adversely affect human, plant, or animal health. Such tiering of the list allows for the optimization of security measures for those select agents or toxins that present the greatest risk of deliberate misuse with the most significant potential for mass casualties or devastating effects to the economy, critical infrastructure, or public confidence. We are also making a number of amendments to the regulations, including the addition of definitions and clarification of language concerning security, training, biosafety, biocontainment, and incident response. These changes will increase the usability of the select agent regulations as well as provide for enhanced program oversight.]]></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 establishing definitions for the terms "common cultivar" and "common food crop" and several related terms.  The amendments to the Act expanded its protections to a broader range of plant species, extended its reach to encompass products, including timber, that derive 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 definitions specify which plants and plant products will be subject to the provisions of the Act, including the declaration requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action adopts as a final rule, with changes, an interim rule that amended the brucellosis regulations to, among other things, reduce the amount of testing required to maintain Class Free status for States that have been Class Free for 5 or more years and have no Brucella abortus in wildlife. This document amends the interim rule to change the age at which cattle and domestic bison are included in herd blood tests from 6 months to 18 months of age for all sexually intact cattle and domestic bison, except when conducting herd blood tests as part of affected herd investigations or other epidemiological investigations. In addition, the rule allows certain States the option of either conducting brucellosis ring tests and participating in the slaughter surveillance program or developing an alternative surveillance plan that would have to meet or exceed the level of disease detection provided by combined brucellosis ring testing and slaughter surveillance testing. The rule also makes several minor changes in order to clarify the regulations. These changes are necessary to create flexibility in the brucellosis program, to refocus resources to control and prevent the spread of brucellosis, and to protect and maintain the economic viability of the domestic livestock industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending the regulations to implement an amendment to the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 added a new section to the AWA to restrict the importation of certain live dogs. Consistent with this amendment, this rule prohibits the importation of dogs, with limited exceptions, from any part of the world into the continental United States or Hawaii for purposes of resale, research, or veterinary treatment, unless the dogs are in good health, have received all necessary vaccinations, and are at least 6 months of age. This action is necessary to implement the amendment to the AWA and will help to ensure the welfare of imported dogs.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Preventing and controlling animal disease is the cornerstone of protecting American animal agriculture. While ranchers and farmers work hard to protect their animals and their livelihoods, there is never a guarantee that their animals will be spared from disease. To support their efforts, USDA has enacted regulations to prevent, control, and eradicate disease, and to increase foreign and domestic confidence in the safety of animals and animal products. Traceability helps give that reassurance. Traceability does not prevent disease, but knowing where diseased and at-risk animals are, where they have been, and when, is indispensable in emergency response and in ongoing disease programs. The primary objective of these proposed regulations is to improve our ability to trace livestock in the event that disease is found in a manner that continues to ensure the smooth flow of livestock in interstate commerce.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture may prohibit or restrict the interstate movement of any animal to prevent the introduction or dissemination of any pest or disease of livestock, and may carry out operations and measures to detect, control, or eradicate any pest or disease of livestock. The Secretary may promulgate such regulations as may be necessary to carry out the Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As part of its ongoing efforts to safeguard animal health, APHIS initiated implementation of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) in 2004. More recently, the Agency launched an effort to assess the level of acceptance of NAIS through meetings with the Secretary, listening sessions in 14 cities, and public comments. Although there was some support for NAIS, the vast majority of participants were highly critical of the program and of USDA's implementation efforts. The feedback revealed that NAIS has become a barrier to achieving meaningful animal disease traceability in the United States in partnership with America's producers.

The option we are proposing pertains strictly to interstate movement and gives States and tribes the flexibility to identify and implement the traceability approaches that work best for them.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[A workable and effective animal traceability system would enhance animal health programs, leading to more secure market access and other societal gains. Traceability can reduce the cost of disease outbreaks, minimizing losses to producers and industries by enabling current and previous locations of potentially exposed animals to be readily identified. Trade benefits can include increased competitiveness in global markets generally, and when outbreaks do occur, the mitigation of export market losses through regionalization. Markets benefit through more efficient and timely epidemiological investigation of animal health issues.

Other societal benefits include improved animal welfare during natural disasters.

The main economic effect of the rule is expected to be on the beef and cattle industry. For other species such as horses and other equine species, poultry, sheep and goats, swine, and captive cervids, APHIS would largely maintain and build on the identification requirements of existing disease program regulations.

Costs of an animal traceability system would include those for tags and interstate certificates of veterinary inspection (ICVIs) or other movement documentation, for animals moved interstate. Incremental costs incurred are expected to vary depending upon a number of factors, including whether an enterprise does or does not already use eartags to identify individual cattle. For many operators, costs of official animal identification and ICVIs would be similar, respectively, to costs associated with current animal identification practices and the in-shipment documentation currently required by individual States. To the extent that official animal identification and ICVIs would simply replace current requirements, the incremental costs of the rule for private enterprises would be minimal.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rulemaking is being undertaken to address the animal health risks posed by gaps in the existing regulations concerning identification of livestock being moved interstate. The current lack of a comprehensive animal traceability program is impairing our ability to trace animals that may be infected with disease.]]></RISKS>

        <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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA["Retail pet stores" are not required to obtain a license under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) or comply with the AWA regulations and standards.  Currently, anyone selling, at retail, the following animals for use as pets are considered retail pet stores:  Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, gophers, chinchilla, domestic ferrets, domestic farm animals, birds, and cold-blooded species. This rulemaking would rescind the "retail pet store" status of anyone selling, at retail for use as pets, those types of animals to buyers who do not physically enter his or her place of business or residence in order to personally observe the animals available for sale prior to purchase and/or to take custody of the animals after purchase. Unless otherwise exempt under the regulations, these entities would be required to obtain a license from APHIS and would become subject to the AWA regulations and standards.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA or the Act, 7 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to promulgate standards and other requirements governing the humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation of certain animals by dealers, research facilities, exhibitors, operators of auction sales, and carriers and intermediate handlers. The Secretary has delegated responsibility for administering the AWA to the Administrator of APHIS.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We recognize that retailers who sell some animals to walk-in customers and some animals remotely may be subject to a certain degree of oversight by the customers who enter their place of business or residence. As a result, we considered establishing a regulatory threshold based on the percentage of such a retailer's remote sales. A second alternative we considered in preparing the proposed rule was to add an exception from licensing for retailers that are subject to oversight by State or local agencies or by breed and registry organizations that enforce standards of welfare comparable to those standards established under the AWA. A third alternative we considered during the development of the proposed rule was to amend the definition of retail pet store so that only high-volume breeders would be subject to the AWA regulations and standards. We determined, however, that the proposed action would be preferable to these alternatives.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Although we have attempted to estimate the impact of the proposed rule, we did not initially have enough information to fully assess it, particularly information on the number of entities that may be affected or breadth of operational changes that may result. In the proposed rule, we encouraged public comment on the number of entities that may be affected and the degree to which operations would be altered to comply with the rule. We believe that the benefits of the rule -- primarily enhanced animal welfare -- would justify the costs. The rule would help ensure that animals sold at retail, but lacking public oversight receive humane handling, care and treatment in keeping with the requirements of the AWA. It would also address the competitive disadvantage of retail breeders who adhere to the AWA regulations, when compared to those retailers who do not operate their facilities according to AWA standards and may therefore bear lower costs. These benefits are not quantified.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the regulations to require firewood of all species imported from Canada, including treated lumber (furniture scraps) sold as kindling, and all spruce logs imported from Nova Scotia to be heat-treated and to be accompanied by either a certificate of treatment or an attached commercial treatment label. This action is necessary to prevent the artificial spread of pests including emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle, gypsy moth, European spruce bark beetle, and brown spruce longhorn beetle to noninfested areas of the United States and to prevent further introductions of these pests into the United States.]]></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>Importation of Wooden Handicrafts From China</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the regulations to provide for the importation of wooden handicrafts from China under certain conditions. From 2002 to 2005, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) issued more than 300 emergency action notices and conducted national recalls to remove infested Chinese-origin wooden handicrafts from the U.S. marketplace. In 2005, APHIS suspended the importation of certain Chinese wooden handicrafts until we could more fully analyze the pest risks associated with those articles. Based on the evidence from a recent pest risk analysis, APHIS has determined that these articles can be safely imported from China, provided certain conditions are met. This action allows for trade in Chinese wooden handicrafts to resume while continuing to protect the United States against the introduction of plant pests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lists of Regions Classified With Respect to Certain Animal Diseases and States Approved to Receive Certain Imported Horses</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking removes lists of regions classified with respect to certain animal diseases and pests, and lists of States approved to receive horses imported from foreign regions where contagious equine metritis (CEM) exists, from our animal and animal product import regulations. Instead, the lists will be posted on the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's (APHIS') Web site. The regulations will provide the Web address and explain APHIS' criteria and processes for adding a region or a State to, or removing a region or State from, each of the lists. Because the lists will no longer be in the Code of Federal Regulations, changing the lists will no longer require rulemaking. We will keep the public informed of changes to the lists and provide opportunity for public comment through notices published in the Federal Register. This rule will enable APHIS to more quickly recognize changes in the disease or pest status of foreign regions and approve States to receive horses from foreign regions where CEM exists. This rulemaking does not change the technical criteria APHIS uses to evaluate whether a foreign region should be added to or removed from a list or the criteria for approving a State to receive horses imported from foreign regions where CEM exists.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Clementines From Spain; Amendment to Inspection Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the regulations governing the importation of clementines from Spain to require that from each consignment of clementines intended for export to the United States, prior to cold treatment, inspectors cut and inspect at least 200 fruit randomly selected from throughout the consignment. The regulations have provided that a set sample size of 200 fruit be inspected. By having the ability to increase the number of fruit inspected when conditions indicate a higher risk of Mediterranean fruit fly, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will be better prepared to protect the United States against the introduction of quarantine pests.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow, under certain conditions, the importation into the United States of commercial consignments of tomatoes with stems from the Republic of Korea. The conditions for the importation of tomatoes with stems from the Republic of Korea will include requirements for pest exclusion at the production site, fruit fly trapping inside and outside the production site, and pest-excluding packinghouse procedures.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation into the continental United States of baby kiwi fruit from Chile, subject to a systems approach. Under this systems approach, the fruit must be grown in a place of production that is registered with the Government of Chile and certified as having a low prevalence of Brevipalpus chilensis. The fruit must undergo pre-harvest sampling at the registered production site. Following post-harvest processing, the fruit must be inspected in Chile at an approved inspection site. Each consignment of fruit must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that the fruit had been found free of Brevipalpus chilensis based on field and packinghouse inspections. This action allows for the safe importation of fresh baby kiwi from Chile using mitigation measures other than fumigation with methyl bromide.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Pomegranates From Chile Under a Systems Approach</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation into the continental United States of pomegranates from Chile, subject to a systems approach. Under this systems approach, the fruit would have to be grown in a place of production that is registered with the national plant protection organization of Chile and certified as having a low prevalence of Brevipalpus chilensis. The fruit would have to undergo pre-harvest sampling at the registered production site. Following post-harvest processing, the fruit would have to be inspected in Chile at an approved inspection site. Each consignment of fruit would have to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that the fruit had been found free of Brevipalpus chilensis based on field and packinghouse inspections. This action will allow for the safe importation of fresh pomegranates from Chile using mitigation measures other than fumigation with methyl bromide.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Horse Protection Act; Requiring Horse Industry Organizations To Assess and Enforce Minimum Penalties for Violations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the horse protection regulations to require horse industry organizations or associations that license Designated Qualified Persons to assess and enforce minimum penalties for violations of the Horse Protection Act (the Act). The regulations currently provide that such penalties will be set either by the horse industry organization or association or by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This action will strengthen our enforcement of the Act by ensuring that minimum penalties are assessed and enforced consistently by all horse industry organizations and associations that are certified under the regulations by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking amends the plants for planting regulations to provide conditions for the importation into the continental United States of Dracaena spp. plants from Costa Rica. These conditions will apply to plants less than 460 mm in length, which are currently allowed to be imported, and will also allow for the importation of plants over 460 mm and up to 1,371.6 mm in length, which are currently prohibited.  As a condition of entry, Dracaena spp. plants from Costa Rica will have to be produced in accordance with integrated pest risk management measures that will include requirements for registration of place of production and packinghouses, a pest management plan, inspection for quarantine pests, sanitation, and traceability from place of production through the packing and export facility and to the port of entry into the United States. All Dracaena spp. plants from Costa Rica will also be required to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that all conditions for the importation of the plants have been met and that the consignment of plants has been inspected and found free of quarantine pests. This action will allow for the importation of oversized Dracaena spp. plants from Costa Rica into the United States while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine 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 2013, GIPSA would increase the hourly rates and unit fees assessed to applicants for inspection by approximately 5 percent.  In addition, the fees assessed to applicants for inspection and laboratory testing services would be increased to reflect the actual cost of providing those services.  GIPSA would also establish a new fee for consultative services not associated with official inspection and weighing services (i.e., foreign travel) that corresponds to an existing fee charged by GIPSA under the United States Grain Standards Act, as amended.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Clear Title Protection for Purchasers of Farm Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GIPSA will publish a propose rule and a direct final rule at the same time. GIPSA is proposing to amend and will amend the Clear Title regulations under section 1324 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended (Act) to comply with the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill).  Specifically, we would revise the regulations to allow a State that implements a central filing system for notification to the public or 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 if the State provides 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.  We would further revise the regulations to permit a State to distribute a master list that contains encrypted social security and IRS taxpayer identification numbers only by electronic means.  No adverse comments are expected.]]></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 the regulations issued under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921, as amended and supplemented to ensure that payments by live poultry dealers and swine contractors to poultry and swine production contract growers are based on accurate weighing of both inputs and outputs.  Specifically, we are amending a regulation about scale tickets to reduce redundant wording and to clarify weighing procedures.  In addition, we are amending a regulation about reweighing to add swine contractors to the list of firms that must comply, and adding feed to the list of items for which reweighing may be requested.  We are also amending two other regulations about 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>Implementation of Regs. Required by the 2008 Farm Bill; Swine and Poultry Sample Contracts, Suspension of Delivery of Birds, Add&apos;l Capital Investment Criteria, Breach of Contract, and Arbitration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule amends the regulations under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921. Notably, these regulations 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 rule promulgates 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>National Organic Program, Origin of Livestock, NOP-11-0009</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 transition, 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This action is being taken because of concerns raised by various parties, including the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), about the dual tracks for dairy replacement animals. The organic community argues that the "two track system" encourages producers to sell their organic young stock and replace them with animals converted from conventional production.  The organic community points out that with this continual state of transitioning, animals treated with and fed prohibited substances, prior to conversion, are constantly entering organic agriculture.  Some producers have taken this route because it is cheaper and easier to convert or purchase converted animals than to raise organic young stock.  As a result, this continual state of transition has discouraged development of a viable organic market for young dairy stock.  The organic community has expressed that this is contrary to the intent of organic and the expectations of organic dairy product consumers. These concerns are ultimately rooted in a discrepancy between the regulatory intent and interpretation whereby some organic dairy producers are required to manage/obtain animals that have been raised organically since the last third of gestation, while other producers may continually obtain replacement animals from conventional production, which have been managed organically for 12 months. The proposed action would level the playing field by instituting the same requirements across all producers, regardless of their transition approach.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The National Organic Program regulations stipulate the requirements for dairy replacement animals in section 205.236(a)(2) Origin of Livestock. In addition, in response to the final ruling in the 2005 case, Harvey v. Johanns, the USDA committed to rulemaking to address the concerns about dairy replacement animals.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The program considered initiating the rulemaking with an ANPR. It was determined that there is sufficient awareness of the expectations of the organic community to proceed with a proposed rule. As alternatives, we considered the status quo, however, this would continue the disparity between producers who can continually transition conventional dairy animals into organic production and producers who must source dairy animals that are organic from the last third of gestation. Based on the information available, this disparity appears to create a barrier to the development of an organic heifer market. We also considered an action that would restrict the source of breeder stock and movement of breeder stock after they are brought onto an organic operation, however, this would minimize the flexibility of producers to purchase breeder stock from any source as specified under the Organic Foods Production Act.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Organic producers who routinely convert conventional dairy livestock to organic will either need to find a source to procure organic replacement animals, or begin to raise replacement animals within their operation. The costs associated with compliance have not been quantified, however, the comments to the proposed rule will provide a basis for those estimates.  Organic operations that converted a whole-herd to organic status and do not convert conventional animals for replacements will be able to readily comply with the rule and may find new market opportunities for organic replacement dairy livestock.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Continuation of the two-track system jeopardizes the viability of the market for organic heifers.  A potential risk associated with the rulemaking would be a temporary supply shortage of dairy replacement animals due to the increased demand.]]></RISKS>

        <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.  Under 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 also would 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.  Under the current regulations, the formal administrative proceeding is initiated by default upon issuance of the Administrator's denial.  

Also, this rulemaking would add clarifying language concerning mediation and stipulations entered into by the NOP, as well as correct the address to which appeals are submitted.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The March 2010 Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit of the NOP, raised issues related to the program's progress for imposing enforcement actions.  One concern was that organic producers and handlers facing revocation or suspension of their certification are able to market their products as organic during what can be a lengthy appeals process.  As a result, AMS expects to publish a proposed rule in FY2013 to revise language in section 205.681 of the NOP regulations, which pertains to adverse action appeals.  It is expected that this rule will streamline the NOP appeals process such that appeals are reviewed and responded to in a more timely manner.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA), 7 U.S.C. section 6501 et seq., requires that the Secretary establish an expedited administrative appeals procedure for appealing an action of the Secretary or certifying agent (section 6520).  The NOP regulations describe how appeals of proposed adverse action concerning certification and accreditation are initiated and further contested (sections 205.680, 205.681).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The program considered maintaining the status quo and hiring additional support for the NOP Appeals Team.  This rulemaking was determined to be preferable because it will reduce redundancy in the appeals process, where an appellant can more quickly appeal the Administrator's decision to an Administrative Law Judge.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This action will affect certified operations and accredited certifying agents.  The primary impact is expected to be expedited enforcement action, which may benefit the organic community through deterrence and increase consumer confidence in the organic label.  It is not expected to have a significant cost burden upon affected entities beyond any monetary penalty or suspension or revocation of certification or accreditation, to which these entities are already subject to under current regulations.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA), the allowed use or prohibition of 12 synthetic and non-synthetic substances in organic production and handling will expire on November 3, 2013. Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to make the public aware of this OFPA requirement. The AMS believes that public comment is essential in the review process to determine whether these substances should continue to be allowed or prohibited in the production and handling of organic agricultural products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Organic Program (NOP) is establishing national standards governing the marketing of organically produced agricultural products.  In 2004, the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) initiated the development of organic pet food standards, which had not been incorporated into the NOP regulations, by forming a task force which included pet food manufacturers, organic consultants, etc.  Collectively, these experts drafted organic pet food standards consistent with the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990, Food and Drug Administration requirements, and the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Model Regulations for Pet and Specialty Pet Food. The AAFCO regulations are scientifically-based regulations for voluntary adoption by State jurisdictions to ensure the safety, quality and effectiveness of feed.  In November 2008, the NOSB approval a final recommendation for organic pet food standards incorporating the provisions drafted by the pet food task force.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Paper and Paper-Based Packaging Research and Promotion Order</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Paper and Paper-Based Packaging Research and Promotion Order would be implemented under the Commodity, Promotion, Research and Information Act of 1996.  The program would help increase the consumption of paper and paper-based packaging in the United States.  U.S. consumption of paper and paper-based packaging declined between 2000 and 2010.  Paper used for printing and writing has be displaced by electronic media.  Weak demand for paper used for packaging reflects inroads by plastics and an increase in the amount of U.S.-consumed goods that are packaged abroad. Misconceptions regarding the impact of paper on the environment have also helped to reduce demand.  An alternative to proceeding with the program is to maintain the status quo.  There are currently ongoing campaigns designed to promote specific sectors of the paper industry.  However, the impact of these programs is limited due to funding.  A panel of industry leaders was formed in May 2010 to assess the merits of a national promotion program.  The panel concluded that a program that could generate $25 million annually with a unified message would benefit the entire industry.  To generate those funds, the initial assessment rate for the program would be 35 cents per ton on domestic manufacturers (producers) and importers.  The program is similar to other research and promotion programs implemented by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Marketing Services' National Organic Program is establishing this guidance document to: (1) Clarify product composition requirements for the "made with organic" category.  The guidance illustrates that non-organic agricultural ingredients and certain other substances may comprise up to 30 percent of the product. There has been varying interpretations within the organic industry of whether substances which do not appear in the regulations may be used as ingredients or processing aids in/on the non-organic portion of the product; 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Organic Program: Sunset Review for Nutrient Vitamins and Minerals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action renews the listing for nutrient vitamins and minerals on the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances (National List) as part of the 2012 Sunset Review process. Consistent with the recommendation from the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), this action ensures that the U.S. organic industry can continue using vitamins and minerals in organic products (e.g., the addition of Vitamin A and D in organic milk, the addition of B vitamins in organic cereal). Under this action, the status quo will remain in effect such that nutrients currently used in organic products can continue to be used until the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) addresses any changes in their allowance through a final rule.]]></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>

This multi-year increase will provide a consistent flow of revenue and stabilize operating reserve balances, leaving the program with a sufficient operating reserve balance to continue providing grading and certification services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As required by the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA), the allowed use or prohibition of over 200 synthetic substances in organic production and handling will expire on June 27, 2012. The Agricultural Marketing Service published a proposed rule that addresses recommendations submitted to the Secretary of Agriculture by the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) on April 29, 2010, and April 29, 2011. These recommendations pertain to the 2012 Sunset Review of substances on the National List.  If this review process is not concluded by June 27, 2012, then listings for over 200 substances critical in the production and handling of a wide array of raw and processed organic products will sunset, causing broad disruption to well-established and accepted organic production, handling and processing systems.]]></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 regulations 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.

Based on recommendations from a March 2010 OIG audit, the NOP published 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 specified that certifying agents would be required, on an annual basis, to randomly sample and test agricultural products from a minimum of 5 percent of the operations they certify.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The user fee for cotton crop year 2012 classification services to growers is expected to generate approximately $32.4 million in revenues during Fiscal Year 2013.  The Agricultural Marketing Service does not plan to adjust the level of the fee for the 2012 crop classification services to producers from the 2011 crop.  This is in accordance with the requirements in the Cotton Statistics and Estimates Act as amended by the provisions in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill).  The fee analysis and calculation is mandated yearly.  The fee must be announced by USDA on or before June 1 of each year, (30 days prior to harvest, even if the fee is to remain the same.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to establish pathogen reduction performance standards for all ready-to-eat (RTE) and partially heat-treated meat and poultry 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 their 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>

        <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 is also 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The actions being proposed are part of FSIS' regulatory reform effort to improve FSIS' shell egg products food safety regulations, better define the roles of Government and the regulated industry, encourage innovations that will improve food safety, remove unnecessary regulatory burdens on inspected egg products plants, and make the egg products regulations as consistent as possible with the Agency's meat and poultry products regulations.  FSIS also is taking these actions in light of changing inspection priorities and recent findings of Salmonella in pasteurized egg products.
This proposal is directly related to FSIS' PR/HACCP initiative.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[A team of FSIS economists and food technologists is conducting a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the potential economic impacts of several alternatives on the public, egg products industry, and FSIS.  These alternatives include:  (1) Taking no regulatory action; (2) Requiring all inspected egg products plants to develop, adopt, and implement written sanitation SOPs and HACCP plans; and (3) Converting to a lethality-based pathogen reduction performance standard many of the current highly prescriptive egg products processing requirements.  The team will consider the effects of the uniform; across-the-board standard for all egg products; a performance standard based on the relative risk of different classes of egg products; and a performance standard based on the relative risks to public health of different production processes.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FSIS is analyzing the potential costs of this proposed rulemaking to industry, FSIS, and other Federal agencies, State and local governments, small entities, and foreign countries.  The expected costs to industry will depend on a number of factors.  These costs include the required lethality, or level of pathogen reduction, and the cost of HACCP plan and sanitation SOP development, implementation, and associated employee training.  The pathogen reduction costs will depend on the amount of reduction sought and on the classes of product, product formulations, or processes.

Relative enforcement costs to FSIS and Food and Drug Administration may change because the two Agencies share responsibility for inspection and oversight of the egg industry and a farm-to-table approach for shell egg and egg products food safety.  Other Federal agencies and local governments are not likely to be affected.

Egg product inspection systems of foreign countries wishing to export egg products to the U.S. must be equivalent to the U.S. system.  FSIS will consult with these countries, as needed, if and when this proposal becomes effective.

This proposal is not likely to have a significant impact on small entities.  The entities that would be directly affected by this proposal would be the approximately 80 federally inspected egg products plants, most of which are small businesses, according to the Small Business Administration criteria.  If necessary, FSIS will develop compliance guides to assist these small firms in implementing the proposed requirements.

Potential benefits associated with this rulemaking include:  Improvements in human health due to pathogen reduction; improved utilization of FSIS inspection program resources; and cost savings resulting from the flexibility of egg products plants in achieving a lethality-based pathogen reduction performance standard.  Once specific alternatives are identified, economic analysis will identify the quantitative and qualitative benefits associated with each alternative.

Human health benefits from this rulemaking are likely to be small because of the low level of (chiefly post-processing) contamination of pasteurized egg products.

The preliminary anticipated annualized costs of the proposed action are approximately $7 million.  The preliminary anticipated benefits of the proposed action are approximately $90 million per year.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[FSIS believes that this regulatory action may result in a further reduction in the risks associated with egg products.  The development of a lethality-based pathogen reduction performance standard for egg products, replacing command-and-control regulations, will remove unnecessary regulatory obstacles to, and provide incentives for, innovation to improve the safety of egg products.

To assess the potential risk-reduction impacts of this rulemaking on the public, an intra-Agency group of scientific and technical experts is conducting a risk management analysis.  The group has been charged with identifying the lethality requirement sufficient to ensure the safety of egg products and the alternative methods for implementing the requirement.  FSIS has developed new risk assessments for Salmonella Enteritidis in eggs and for Salmonella app. In liquid egg products to evaluate the risk associated with the regulatory alternatives.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to define the conditions under which it will permit the voluntary claim "natural" to be used in the labeling of meat and poultry products.  FSIS is also proposing that label approval requests for labels that contain "natural" claims include documentation to demonstrate that the products meet the criteria to bear a "natural" claim. FSIS is proposing to require that meat or poultry products meet these conditions to qualify for a "natural" claim to make the claim more meaningful to consumers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to amend the meat, poultry, and egg products import regulations to provide for the Agency's Public Health Information system (PHIS) Import Component.  The PHIS Import Component, launched in May 2012, provides an electronic alternative to the paper-based import inspection application and imported product foreign inspection and foreign establishment certificate processes.  In addition, the Agency is proposing to delete the discontinued "streamlined" import inspection procedures for Canadian product (9 CFR 327.5(d) and 381.198(b)) and to require Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) at official import establishments.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Agency is proposing to replace these provisions with an upper limit for nitrite (based on the highest level of nitrite allowed in existing regulations for pumped or massaged bacon) and with a performance standard of no volatile nitrosamines when the product is fried under certain conditions (i.e., when the product is fried at 340 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 consecutive minutes on each side 21 days after slicing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Descriptive Designation for Needle or Blade Tenderized (Mechanically Tenderized) Beef Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to require the use of the descriptive designation "mechanically tenderized" on the labels of raw or partially cooked needle or blade tenderized beef products, including beef products injected with marinade or solution, unless such products are destined to be fully cooked at an official establishment.  Beef products that have been needle or blade tenderized are referred to as "mechanically tenderized" products.  FSIS is proposing that the product name for such beef products include the descriptive designation "mechanically tenderized" and accurate description of the beef component.  FSIS is also proposing that the print for all words in the descriptive designation as the product name appear in the same style, color, and size and on a single-color contrasting background.  In addition, FSIS is proposing to require that labels of raw and partially cooked needle or blade tenderized beef products destined for household consumers, hotels, restaurants, or similar institutions include validated cooking instructions that inform consumers that these products need to be cooked to a specified minimum internal temperature, and whether they need to be held at that minimum internal temperature for a specified time before consumption, i.e., dwell time or rest time, to ensure that they are thoroughly cooked.]]></ABSTRACT>

The fact that a cut of beef has been needle or blade tenderized is a characterizing feature of the product and, as such, a material fact that is likely to affect consumers' purchase decisions and that should affect their preparation of the product.  FSIS has also concluded that the addition of validated cooking instruction is required to ensure that potential pathogens throughout the product are destroyed. Without thorough cooking, pathogens that may have been introduced to the interior of the product during the tenderization process may remain in the product.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As an alternative to the proposed requirements, FSIS considered not proposing new requirements for needle or blade tenderized beef products.  A second alternative was for the Agency to propose to amend the labeling regulations to include a new requirement for labeling all mechanically tenderized meat and poultry products.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Benefits:
Benefits are both qualitative and quantifiable.  The proposed new labeling requirements will improve public awareness of product identities, meaning that it will provide truthful and accurate labeling of beef products to clearly differentiate the non-intact, mechanically tenderized beef products from intact products.  Since needle or blade tenderized beef products are not readily distinguishable from non-tenderized beef products, the descriptive designation of "mechanically tenderized" on the labels of these products will inform the consumers of the true nature of the product when deciding whether to purchase the products.  Additionally, the knowledge of knowing that these products are mechanically tenderized will help consumers, official establishments, and retail establishments become aware that they need to cook these products differently from intact products before they can be safely consumed.
  
Costs:
FSIS estimated that 32,130 labels are for beef product.  Assuming 10.5 percent of the 32,130 labels are for products that are mechanically tenderized, then 3,374 labels will be required to add "mechanically tenderized" to their labels in accordance with this proposed rule. If we include the labels that are for beef product that are mechanically tenderized and contain added solutions, then we would assume that an additional, 5,077 labels will be required to add "mechanically tenderized" to their labels.  From the 2011 Model to Estimate Costs of Using Labeling as a Risk Reduction Strategy for Consumer Products Regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, a minor labeling change was defined as one in which only one color is affected and the label does not need to be redesigned.  FSIS concluded that the change that is required by this propose rule is minor.  The mid-point label design modification costs for a minor coordinated label change are an estimated $310 per label. In the case of a coordinated label change, only administrative and recordkeeping costs are attributed to the regulation, and all other costs are not.  FSIS estimates the cost to be $1.05 million (3,374 labels x $310) for mechanically tenderized only.  For all products that are mechanically tenderized and contain added solutions, the cost is estimated to be $2.6 million. Establishments would also incur minimal costs to validate the required cooking instructions for raw and partially cooked needle or blade tenderized beef products.  These costs would be incurred to ensure that the cooking instructions are adequate to destroy any potential pathogens that may remain in the beef product after being tenderized.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[In 2011, FSIS conducted a Comparative Risk Assessment for Intact and Non-intact Beef.  The comparative risk assessment was conducted to determine the difference in risk between different types of steak products and to examine the effect of different cooking practices on reducing human illness.  This comparative risk assessment informed this rule.  The risk assessment looked at the comparative effects of cooking at 140, 150, 160, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit.  In its risk assessment, FSIS estimated the annual E. coli O157:H7 illnesses prevented from achieving various internal temperatures.  From the risk assessment it was estimated that between 191 and 239 illnesses would be prevented annually, if mechanically tenderized meat were cooked to 160 degrees.  Using the FSIS average cost per case for E. coli O157:H7 of $3,281, the propose rule would save approximately $627,000 to - $784,000.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Rule: Records to be Kept by Official Establishments and Retail Stores That Grind or Chop Raw Beef Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend its recordkeeping regulations to specify that all official establishments and retail stores that grind or chop raw beef products for sale in commerce must keep records that disclose the identity of the supplier of all source materials that they use in the preparation of each lot of raw ground or chopped product and identify the names of those source materials.
FSIS is aware of the other activities that occur at retail that may, ultimately, prove also to be of concern due to inadequate recordkeeping (e.g., fabrication of steaks and roasts from non-intact beef in which the non-intact beef is later associated with an outbreak; grinding and chopping pork or even poultry; or slicing ready-to-eat meat and poultry).  While these issues have been considered during the development of this proposal, the Agency has decided to ask for comment on whether and how such additional issues should be addressed, but will not include them in the current rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Under the authority of the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and its implementing regulations, FSIS investigates complaints and reports of consumer foodborne illness possibly associated with FSIS-regulated meat products.  Many such investigations into consumer foodborne illnesses involve those caused by the consumption of raw beef ground by official establishments or retail stores.
FSIS investigators and public health officials frequently use records kept by all levels of the food distribution chain, including the retail level, to identify and trace back product that is the source of the illness the suppliers that produced the source material for the product.  The Agency, however, has often been thwarted in its effort to trace back ground beef products, some associated with consumer illness, to the suppliers that provided source materials for the products.  In some situations, official establishments and retail stores have not kept records necessary to allow trace back and trace forward activities to occur.  Without such necessary records, FSIS's ability to conduct timely and effective consumer foodborne illness investigations and other public health activities throughout the stream of commerce is also affected, thereby placing the consuming public at risk.  Therefore, for FSIS to be able to conduce trace back and trace forward investigations, foodborne illnesses investigations, or to monitor product recalls, the records kept by official establishments and retail stores that grind raw beef products must disclose the identity of the supplier and the names of the sources of all materials that they use in the preparation of each lot of raw ground beef product.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Under 21 U.S.C. 642, official establishments and retail stores that grind raw beef products for sale in commerce are persons, firms, or corporations that must keep such records as willfully and correctly disclose all transactions involved in their businesses subject to the Act.  This is because they engage in the business of preparing products of an amenable species for use as human food and they engage in the business of buying of selling (as meat brokers, wholesalers or otherwise) in commerce products of carcasses of an amenable species.  These businesses must also provide access to, and inspection of, these records by FSIS personnel.
Further, under 9 CFR 320.1(a), every person, firm, or corporation required by section 642 of the FMIA to keep records must keep those records that willfully and correctly disclose all transactions involved in his or its business subject to the Act.  Records specifically required to be kept under section 320.1(b) include, but are not limited to, bills of sale; invoices; bills of lading; and receiving and shipping papers.  With respect to each transaction, the records must provide the name or description of the livestock or article; the net weight of the livestock or article; the number of outside containers; the name and address of the buyer or seller of the livestock or animal; and the date and method of shipment, among other things.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FSIS considered two alternatives to the proposed requirements:  the status quo and a voluntary recordkeeping program.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Costs occur because about 76,390 retail stores and official establishments will need to develop and maintain records, and make those records available for the Agency's review.  Using the best available data, FSIS believes that industry labor costs of developing, recording, and maintaining records, and storage costs, would be approximately $20.5 million.  Agency costs of approximately $15,000 would result from record reviews at official establishments and retail stores, as well as travel time to and from retail stores.

Annual benefits from this rule come from:
1) Savings from more efficient recalls of $3.6 million.
2) Estimated averted E. coli O157:H7 illnesses of $23.4 million.

Total benefits from this rule are estimated to be $27.0 million.

Non-monetized benefits under this rule include, for the raw ground beef processing industry:  1) an increase in consumers' confidence and greater acceptance of products because mandatory grinding logs will result in a more efficient traceability system, recalls of reduced volume, and reduced negative press; 2) smaller volume recalls will result in higher confidence and acceptability of products including the disposition of product once recovered; 3) improved productivity, which improves profit opportunities.

Avoiding loss of business reputation is an indirect benefit.  By identifying and defining the responsible party, FSIS will be able to get to the suspect a lot quicker and execute a better targeted recall, meaning that a recall will involve a smaller amount of product.  This lower volume per recall will decrease costs for the recalls and the disposition of product.  In addition, the Agency expects consumers to benefit from improved traceability and, thus, a reduced incidence of E. coli O157:H7 in ground raw beef products due to the rapid removal of those products from commerce.  The Agency believes that by having official meat establishments and retail stores that engage in the business of grinding raw beef products keep records, traceability of ground raw beef in the U.S. food supply will be greatly enhanced.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[FSIS believes that a projected 30% of foodborne E. coli O157:H7 illnesses could possibly be averted if this rule was in place, dropping from a high of 23,732 to 16,612 (a decline of 7,120).]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend its poultry products inspection regulations to add Korea to the list of countries eligible to export poultry products to the United States (9 CFR 381.196).  Korea is not currently listed as eligible to export such products to the United States.  If this proposed rule is adopted, any poultry and poultry products exported to the United States from Korea will be subject to re-inspection at the ports-of-entry for transportation damage, labeling, proper certification, general condition, and accurate count.  FSIS will also conduct other types of inspection, including examination of products for defects and sampling and laboratory analysis of products' chemical residues, or for microbiological contamination.  Products that pass re-inspection will be stamped with the official United States mark of inspection and allowed to enter United States commerce.  If they do not meet United States requirements, they will be refused entry and must be re-exported, destroyed, or converted to animal food.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Rule: Addition of Namibia to the List of Countries Eligible to Export Meat Products to the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to amend its meat products inspection regulations to add Namibia to the list of countries eligible to export meat products to the United States (9 CFR 327.2).  Namibia is not currently listed as eligible to export such products to the United States.  If this proposed rule is adopted, any meat and meat products exported to the United States from Namibia will be subject to re-inspection at the ports-of-entry for transportation damage, labeling, proper certification, general condition, and accurate box count.  FSIS will also conduct other types of inspection, including examination of products for defects and sampling and laboratory analysis of products' chemical residues, or for microbiological contamination.  Products that pass re-inspection will be stamped with the official United States mark of inspection and allowed to enter United States commerce.  If they do not meet United States requirements, they will be refused entry and must be re-exported, destroyed, or converted to animal food.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prior Labeling Approval System: Generic Label Approval</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

This would essentially eliminate the time needed for FSIS personnel to evaluate labeling features and allocate more time for staff to work on other duties and responsibilities.  A major advantage of this proposal is that it is consistent with FSIS' current regulatory approach, which separates industry and Agency responsibilities.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FSIS considered several options.  The first was to expand the types of labeling that would be generically approved and consolidate into one part all of the labeling regulations applicable to products regulated under the FMIA and PPIA and the policies currently contained in FSIS Directive 7220.1, Revision 3.  The second option FSIS considered was to consolidate only the meat and poultry regulations that are similar and to expand the types of generically approved labeling that can be applied by Federal and certified foreign establishments.  The third option, and the one favored by FSIS, was to amend the prior labeling approval system in an incremental three-phase approach.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The final rule would permit the Agency to realize an estimated discounted cost savings of $2.9 million over 10 years.  The final rule would be beneficial because it would streamline the generic labeling process, while imposing no additional cost burden on establishments.  Consumers would benefit because industry would have the ability to introduce products into the marketplace more quickly.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modernization of Poultry Slaughter Inspection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS intends to provide 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 and turkey 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 also intends 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, and to revoke the New Turkey Inspection System (NTIS).  Young chicken and turkey slaughter establishments would be required to operate under the new inspection system or under Traditional Inspection.  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 new system, young chicken and turkey slaughter establishments would be required to sort chicken carcasses and to conduct other activities to ensure that carcasses are not adulterated before they enter the chilling tank.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Because of the risk to the public health associated with pathogens on young chicken carcasses, FSIS intends to provide a new inspection system that would allow for more effective inspection of young chicken carcasses, would allow the Agency to more effectively allocate its resources and would encourage industry to more readily use new technology.

This final rule is the result of the Agency's 2011 regulatory review efforts conducted under Executive Order 13563 on Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review.  It would likely result in more cost-effective dressing of young chickens that are ready to cook or ready for further processing.  Similarly, it would likely result in more efficient and effective use of Agency resources.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

1) No action. 
2) Propose to implement HACCP-based Inspection Models Pilot in regulations.  
3) Propose to establish a mandatory, rather than a voluntary, new inspection system for young chicken slaughter establishments.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed rule estimated that the expected annual costs to establishments would total $24.5 million.  Expected annual total benefits were $285.5 million (with a range of $259.5 to $314.8 million).  Expected annual net benefits were $261.0 million (with a range of $235.0 million to $290.3 million).  These estimates will be updated in the final rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Salmonella and other pathogens are present on a substantial portion of poultry carcasses inspected by FSIS.  Foodborne salmonella cause a large number of human illnesses that at times lead to hospitalization and even death.  There is an apparent relationship between human illness and prevalence levels for salmonella in young chicken carcasses.  FSIS believes that through better allocation of inspection resources and the use of performance standards, it would be able to better address the prevalence of salmonella and other pathogens in young chickens.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending the meat, poultry, and egg product inspection regulations to provide for an electronic export application and certification system.  The electronic export application and certification system will be a component of the Agency's Public Health Information System (PHIS).  The export component of PHIS will be available as an alternative to the paper-based application and certification process.  FSIS will charge users for the use of the system.  FSIS is establishing a formula for calculating the fee.  FSIS is also providing establishments that export meat, poultry, and egg products with flexibility in the official export inspection marks, devices, and certificates.  In addition, FSIS is amending the egg product export regulations to parallel the meat and poultry export regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FSIS is charging exporters an application fee for the electronic export system.  Automating the export application and certification process will facilitate the exportation of U.S. meat, poultry, and egg products by streamlining and automating the processes that are in use while ensuring that foreign regulatory requirements are met.  The cost to an exporter would depend on the number of electronic applications submitted.  An exporter that submits only a few applications per year would not be likely to experience a significant economic impact.  Under this rate, inspection personnel workload will be reduced through the elimination of the physical handling and processing of applications and certificates.  When an electronic government-to-government system interface or data exchange is used, fraudulent transactions, such as false alterations and reproductions, will be significantly reduced, if not eliminated.  The electronic export system is designed to ensure the authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality.  Exporters will be provided with a more efficient and effective application and certification process.  The egg product export regulations provide the same export requirements across all products regulated by FSIS and consistency in the export application and certification process.  The total annual paperwork burden to the egg processing industry to fill out the paper-based export application is approximately $32,340 per year for a total of 924 hours a year.  The average establishment burden would be 11 hours, and $385.00 per establishment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is developing final regulations to establish a common or usual name for raw meat and poultry products that contain added solutions, and that do not meet a standard of identity.  The common or usual name must include an accurate description of the raw meat or poultry component, the percentage of added solution, and the individual ingredients or multi-ingredient components in the solution listed in descending order of prominence by weight.  The print for all words in the common or usual name appears in a single easy-to-read type style and color, and 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" (9 CFR 381.169).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Classes of Poultry; Updating Poultry Class Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS has amended 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.

        <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[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending the meat and poultry products regulations pertaining to the schedule of operations.  FSIS is amending these regulations to define the 8-hour workday as including time that inspection program personnel need to prepare the inspection station, if necessary, or retrieve and return lot tally sheets; the time necessary for FSIS inspection program personnel to sharpen knives, if necessary; and the time necessary to conduct duties scheduled by FSIS, including administrative activities.  The activities are integral and indispensable to inspectors' work and part of the continuous workday as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act.  Therefore, they are activities that need to be part of the Agency's regulatory definition for the 8-hour workday.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to codify three provisions of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (the Act). Section 303 of the Act requires the Secretary to establish criteria for imposing fines against schools, school food authorities, or State agencies that fail to correct severe mismanagement of the program, fail to correct repeat violations of program requirements, or disregard a program requirement of which they had been informed. Section 322 of the Act requires the Secretary to establish procedures for the termination and disqualification of organizations participating in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Section 362 of the Act requires that any school, institution, service institution, facility, or individual that has been terminated from any program authorized under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act or the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, and appears on either the SFSP or the Child and Adult Care Food Program's (CACFP's) disqualified list, may not be approved to participate in or administer any other programs authorized under those two Acts.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Under current rules, some firms authorized to redeem SNAP benefits conduct substantial trafficking or other fraudulent SNAP activity in a short period of time, flee with the fraudulently-obtained funds, and ultimately appreciate large profits from this before USDA is able to complete a formal investigation.  The ability to withhold some revenues from such violators would depreciate their profits and may discourage this illegal activity.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[Suspension of funds for firms suspected of flagrant program violations runs a small risk that firms that are ultimately found not to have trafficked will temporarily lose the use of these funds.  USDA anticipates that this provision will only affect a small subset of firms charged with trafficking, and that the small risk of inappropriate suspensions far outweighs the much larger risk of permitting a firm to profit from trafficking in SNAP benefits while a decision is made on its case.]]></RISKS>

Section 204 of the Act requires each local educational agency (LEA) to establish, for all schools under its jurisdiction, a local school wellness policy. Section 209 requires the Secretary to establish requirements for each LEA participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP) to report information about the school nutrition environment for all schools under its jurisdiction to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the public on a periodic basis. The Act requires LEAs to report information pertaining to food safety inspections, local wellness policies, meal program participation, the nutritional quality of program meals, and such other information as required by USDA.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[As the population served by WIC has grown and become more diverse over the past 20 years, the nutritional risks faced by participants have changed, and though nutrition science has advanced, the WIC supplemental food packages remained largely unchanged until FY 2010.  This rule is needed to respond to comments and experience, and to implement recommended changes to the WIC food packages based on the current nutritional needs of WIC participants and advances in nutrition science.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, enacted on June 30, 2004, requires the Department to issue a final rule within 18 months of receiving the Institute of Medicine's report on revisions to the WIC food packages.  This report was published and released to the public on April 27, 2005.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FNS developed a regulatory impact analysis that addressed a variety of alternatives that were considered in the interim final rulemaking.  The regulatory impact analysis was published as an appendix to the interim rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The regulatory impact analysis for this rule provided a reasonable estimate of the anticipated effects of the rule.  This analysis estimated that the provisions of the rule would have a minimal impact on the costs of overall operations of the WIC Program over 5 years.  The regulatory impact analysis was published as an appendix to the interim rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rule applies to WIC State agencies with respect to their selection of foods to be included on their food lists.  As a result, vendors will be indirectly affected and the food industry will realize increased sales of some foods and decreases in other foods, with an overall neutral effect on sales nationally.  The rule may have an indirect economic affect on certain small businesses because they may have to carry a larger variety of certain foods to be eligible for authorization as a WIC vendor.  With the high degree of State flexibility allowable under this final rule, small vendors will be impacted differently in each State depending upon how that State chooses to meet the new requirements.  It is, therefore, not feasible to accurately estimate the rule's impact on small vendors.  Since neither FNS nor the State agencies regulate food producers under the WIC Program, it is not known how many small entities within that industry may be indirectly affected by the rule.  FNS has, however, modified the new food provision in an effort to mitigate the impact on small entities.  This rule adds new food items, such as fruits and vegetables and whole grain breads, which may require some WIC vendors, particularly smaller stores, to expand the types and quantities of food items stocked in order to maintain their WIC authorization.  In addition, vendors also have to make available more than one food type from each WIC food category, except for the categories of peanut butter and eggs, which may be a change for some vendors.  To mitigate the impact of the fruit and vegetable requirement, the rule allows canned, frozen, and dried fruits and vegetables to be substituted for fresh produce.  Opportunities for training on and discussion of the revised WIC food packages will be offered to State agencies and other entities as necessary.]]></RISKS>

In addition, this rule revises 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.  FNS is also implementing two discretionary revisions to SNAP regulations to provide State agencies options that are currently available only through waivers.  These provisions 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 will impact the associated paperwork burdens.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Most aspects of the rule are non-discretionary and tied to explicit, specific requirements for SNAP in the FCEA.  However, FNS did consider alternatives in implementing section 4103 of the FCEA, Elimination of Dependent Care Deduction Caps.  FNS considered whether to limit deductible expenses to costs paid directly to the care provider or whether to permit households to deduct other expenses associated with dependent care in addition to the direct costs.  FNS chose to allow households to deduct the cost of transportation to and from the dependent care provider and the cost of separately identified activity fees that are associated with dependent care.  Section 4103 signaled an important shift in congressional recognition that dependent care costs constitute major expenses for working households.  In addition, it was noted during the floor discussion in both houses of Congress prior to passage of the FCEA that some States already counted transportation costs as part of dependent care expenditures.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The estimated total SNAP costs to the Government of the FCEA provisions implemented in the rule are estimated to be $831 million in FY 2010 and $5.619 billion over the 5 years FY 2010 through FY 2014.  These impacts are already incorporated into the President's budget baseline.

There are many potential societal benefits of this rule.  Some provisions may make some households newly eligible for SNAP benefits.  Other provisions may increase SNAP benefits for certain households.  Certain provisions in the rule will reduce the administrative burden for households and State agencies.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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 rule would implement statutory requirements currently established through program policy and guidance for operators at the State and local level.]]></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 cash 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.

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. In this regulation, we delineate timeframes and penalties for those who seek to participate in SNAP (09-008).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title IV, part III: Program Operations, section 4133 (Major System Failures) provision allows USDA to prohibit State agencies from collecting claims from a household and to assert a claim against a State in cases of major systemic error resulting in substantial overpayments of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. This rule will regulate what procedures and processes are to be followed if a State experiences such a failure. It will define what a major system failure is and explain under what circumstances a State agency will be held liable for an overpayment rather than the client household.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Grant Program rule amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to replace the current nutrition education program under the Act with a program providing grants to States for the implementation of a nutrition education and obesity prevention program that promotes healthy food choices consistent with the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans.  This rule will implement all requirements of the law.  It makes eligible for program participation: (1) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants; (2) participants in the school lunch or breakfast programs; and (3) individuals who reside in low-income communities or are low-income individuals.  The rule continues commitment to serving low-income populations while focusing on the issue of obesity, a priority of this Administration.  It ensures that interventions implemented as part of State nutrition education plans recognize the constrained resources of the eligible population.

The rule requires activities be science-based and outcome-driven and provides for accountability and transparency through State plans.  It will require coordination and collaboration among Federal agencies and stakeholders, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the public health community, the academic and research communities, nutrition education practitioners, representatives of State and local governments, and community organizations that serve the low-income populations.  The rule allows for 100 percent Federal funding, and States will not have to provide matching funds.  The grant funding will be based on 2009 expenditures.  For 3 years after enactment, States will receive grant funds based on their level of funds expended for the 2009 base year with funds indexed for inflation thereafter.  The new funding structure is phased in over a 7-year period.  From fiscal year 2014 forward, funds will be allocated based on a formula that considers participation.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

The action allows for 100 percent Federal funding which gives States more flexibility to target services where they can be most effective without the constraints of a State match.  For 3 years after enactment, States will receive grant funds based on their level of funds expended for the 2009 base year with funds indexed for inflation thereafter.

Expected Benefits of the Proposed Action:

This regulatory action seeks to improve the effectiveness of the program and make it easier for the States to administer, while still allowing funding to grow.  It allows for 100 percent Federal funding, which gives States more flexibility to target services where they can be most effective without the constraints of a State match.  It allows grantees to adopt individual and group-based nutrition education, as well as community and public health approaches.  It allows coordinated services to be provided to participants in all the Federal food assistance programs and to other low-income persons.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Due to the current economic climate, State agencies are hard-pressed to manage basic program requirements because of rising case loads and decreasing budgets.  By making this adjustment, State agencies will be able to hone in on the more important program areas that need improvement.  The $50.00 variance threshold would be subject to increases based on cost-of-living indexing.  State agencies, however, will still be required to address all over issuances and under issuances to households when errors under the $50.00 threshold are discovered during the review process.

        <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>

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>

        <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 Web site.  Copies of the proposed rule will also be provided to the appropriate congressional committees.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Law Enforcement Prohibitions</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.

        <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>Disposal of National Forest Timber:  Cancellation of Timber Sale Contracts   </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Unlike Governmentwide rules governing procurement contracts, the existing cancellation regulations at 36 CFR 223.40 and 36 CFR 223.116 place an inappropriate amount of financial liability on the Forest Service when the Agency must, for reasons of public policy or statutory direction, cancel a timber sale contract.  The need for a consolidated and revised contract cancellation rule arises from changing circumstances over the past 2-3 decades surrounding forest product sales.  This includes the increased likelihood that a forest product sale may have to be modified or cancelled to comply with changing laws, court orders ensuing from environmental litigation, and changing environmental conditions such as the listing of new species under the Endangered Species Act.  Forest Service managers must have contractual flexibility to adjust management activities on National Forest System lands within reasonable economic limits in order to comply with new laws and court orders.  Conversely, forest products purchasers need to know that they will receive appropriate compensation if a contract has to be cancelled for reasons beyond their control.  Consequently the current cancellation regulation needs to be amended to clarify when, why, and by whom a contract can be cancelled and to establish an equitable balance of risk and liability between forest products purchasers and the government when contracts must be cancelled or partially cancelled.  

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.  Establishing reasonable limits to the Government's exposure to financial liability and burden of risk in the event of contractual changes or contract cancellations required to comply with new laws and/or court orders is critical to protect the public's financial interests.  Conversely, purchasers of forest products need to know that they will be entitled to reasonable compensation if a forest products contract has to be cancelled.  

In 2003, the Forest Service proposed revising timber sale contract forms FS-2400-6 and FS-2400-6T (68 FR 70758).  The proposed revisions were the first substantive changes in the standard timber sale contact provisions in over 30 years.  Significant changes to the contracts included adding new provisions allocating risk and compensation to purchasers when contracts were delayed, suspended, modified or cancelled for environmental reasons.  After considering the comments and making appropriate changes, final contracts were adopted 5/6/2004 (69 FR 25367).  The FS-2400-13/13T stewardship contracts were modeled after the 2004 FS-2400-6/6T contracts.  The FS continued receiving comments about the revised contracts and especially the new cancellation provisions which also addressed replacement timber and liquidated damages.  In response the FS hired a former administrative law judge with expertise in government contracts to review the new contracts and after evaluating his findings additional changes were made to the contracts.  On 7/31/2006, the FS published Notice of Availability of Revised Standard Timber Sale Contracts (71 FR 43096) - that notice discussed the consultant's report and FS response to the findings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Section 8105 Forest Products for Traditional and Cultural Purposes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current regulations at 36 CFR part 223, subpart A, do not include the authority to grant trees, portions of trees, or forest products, to federally recognized Indian tribes, free of charge, for non-commercial traditional and cultural purposes (pursuant to sections 8102 and 8105, Pub. L. 110-246, 122 Stat. 1651 (2008)).  However, during the regulation promulgation process, Forest Service officials are currently providing such products, subject to their delegation of authority under 36 CFR 223.8 (per an Interim Directive issued, on December 2, 2009, to FSH 2409.18 chapter 80 (ID-2409.18-2009-2)).  The delegation of authority under 36 CFR 223.8 does not limit the quantity or value of what the federally recognized Indian tribe may request, it simply states which Forest Service official may actually authorize the Indian tribe's request (based on product value).]]></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>Law Enforcement Support Activities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 16, 1994 (59 FR 7880), the Forest Service published a proposed rule for 36 CFR part 261, Prohibitions, and part 262, Law Enforcement Support Activities.  Due to the high level of interest in and comment on part 261, the decision was made to publish second proposed rules separately for each part.

The Forest Service is proceeding with publication of a second proposed rule for part 262, Law Enforcement Support Activities.  The proposed revisions to part 262 are narrow in scope and are meant to clarify specific administrative provisions.  In particular, they address the limitations and conditions for paying rewards in connection to fire or property prosecution; clarify the rules regarding the purchase of information or evidence in furtherance of investigations; and clarify certain actions and regulations regarding the impoundment, removal, and disposition of animals and personal property from National Forest System lands.  The proposed rule also responds to comments concerning part 262 that were received in response to the proposed rule published in 1994.  The majority of those comments referred to how the rule defines certain terms. To address those comments in this second proposed rule, the Agency proposes to add a new section for definitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is 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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>National Environmental Policy Act Categorical Exclusions Supporting Landscape Restoration </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service has worked with the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) for decades to be more efficient in meeting National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) responsibilities.  One objective of the Agency's NEPA regulations is to conduct and document environmental analyses and subsequent decisions appropriately, efficiently, and cost effectively (FSM 1950.2). The Agency makes over three thousand documented decisions each year and files more environmental impact statements (EIS) than any other Federal agency.  On average it takes the Forest Service 3 years to complete an EIS, about 18 months to complete an environmental assessment (EA), 7 months to complete a categorical exclusion (CE).

On August 14, 2009, Secretary Vilsack called for restoring forest lands to protect water resources.  He has stated a need to restore more acres more rapidly if we are to prevent catastrophic fires, insect outbreaks, and other threats.  The Forest Service has an objective to reestablish and retain healthy, resilient landscapes that have the capacity to survive natural disturbances and large scale threats to sustainability (FSM 2020.2).  The Forest Service proposes to supplement its NEPA regulations (36 CFR part 220) by establishing new CEs consistent with CEQ guidance on Establishing, Applying, and Revising Categorical Exclusions in the National Environmental Policy Act (November 23, 2010).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Land Management Planning Rule Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Background:  Describe what the current directives require or allow, and what the problem is.

The Forest Service is promulgating a new land management planning regulation at 36 CFR 219 (RIN 0596-AC94).  A proposed land management planning rule was published for public comment February 14, 2011 (70-FR 8480).   The agency intends to issue interim directives to implement the new planning rule shortly after publishing the final rule in the Federal Register around the end of calendar year 2011.  An interim directive is an issuance that modifies previous direction or establishes new direction for a period of up to 18 months.  Release of the interim directives will include a 60-day public comment period.  The current directives implement the provisions of the 2000 planning rule that is being replaced by the new rule.  

Proposed Action:  Briefly describe the action you wish to take.

The US Forest Service is proposing to amend the Forest Service Manual (FSM) 1900--Planning and Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 1909.12--Land Management Planning Handbook.  Within the FSM 1900, the agency proposes to change the Zero Code and Chapter 1920--Land Management Planning.  Direction would be revised to implement the new planning rule.   

Specifics:  List the exact regulatory language that this directive will modify, and describe, generally, how this will be changed or what will be added.  Use bullets.

* FSM 1905--Definitions.  Amend definitions to include those in the planning rule.
* FSM 1920--Land Management Planning.  Amend the entire chapter to implement the rule.
* FSH 1909.12--Land Management Planning Handbook.  Amend the entire handbook to implement the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Predecisional Administrative Review Processes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 23, 2011, President Obama signed the 2012 Consolidated Appropriations Act that includes Section 428 which directs the Secretary to establish a predecisional objection process for projects and activities implementing land and resource management decisions in lieu of the appeal requirements of Section 322 of Public Law 102-381, commonly referred to as the Appeal Reform Act.  Section 428 replaces the portions of the Appeal Reform Act covering Right to Appeal, Disposition of Appeal, and Stay which are currently found in 36 CFR 215.

The Forest Service proposes to publish and seek public comment for an interim final rule (Good Cause statement found at block #7 below) that revises part 218.  The revised part 218 will include the predecisional objection processes for both HFRA-authorized fuel reduction projects (currently in place) and all other projects implementing land management plans and documented with a Record of Decision or Decision Notice. The revised part 218 would include improvements identified through agency experience and public comment pertaining to the objection process during the promulgation of the final land management planning rule.

The Predecisional Administrative Review Processes regulation found at 36 CFR 218 will be revised to include the new predecisional process for use on projects or activities implementing land and resource decisions and documented with a Record of Decision or Decision Notice.]]></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>Resource Agency Procedures for Conditions and Prescriptions in Hydropower Licenses </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-58) contains provisions requiring a trial-type hearing to resolve disputed issues of material fact related to mandatory conditions and prescriptions required under the issuance of a Federal hydropower license.  The law also mandates that the Agency consider alternatives to proposed mandatory conditions and prescriptions.  This law charges agencies requiring mandatory conditions and prescriptions with the promulgation of new regulations by November 7, 2005, to provide the regulatory framework to implement the trial-type hearing process. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, acting through the Forest Service, is one of the agencies required under the Act to provide a trial-type hearing and issue an implementing regulation.  To meet the statutory deadline, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, along with the U.S. Departments of the Interior and Commerce, issued a joint interim final rule. The Department of the Interior is the lead agency in this effort.

The Forest Service adopted an interim final rule at 7 CFR part 1, establishing a trial-type hearing procedure to resolve disputed issues of material fact related to mandatory conditions and prescriptions required under the issuance of a Federal hydropower license.  The interim final rule also provides a process for the filing of proposed alternative conditions and prescriptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Management of Surface Activities Associated With Outstanding Mineral Rights on National Forest System Lands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Close to 11,000,000 acres (approximately 6%) of National Forest System lands overlie severed (split) mineral estates owned by a party other than the Federal Government.  Over 75% of these lands are in the Eastern Region (Forest Service Regions 8 and 9).  There are two kinds of severed mineral estates, generally known as "private rights":  reserved and outstanding. Reserved mineral rights are those retained by a grantor in a deed conveying land to the United States.  Outstanding mineral rights are those owned by a party other than the surface owner at the time the surface was conveyed to the United States.  Because these are non-Federal mineral interests, the USDI Bureau of Land Management has no authority for or role in managing development activities associated with such interests.  States have the authority and responsibility for regulating development of the private mineral estate. 
  
Various Secretary's Rules and Regulations (years of 1911, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, 1950, and 1963) and Forest Service regulations at 36 CFR 251.15 provide direction for the use of NFS lands for mineral development activities associated with the exercise of reserved mineral rights.  These existing rules for reserved minerals development activities also include requirements for protection of NFS resources.
  
There are no formal regulations governing the use of NFS lands for activities associated with the exercise of outstanding mineral rights underlying those lands.  In addition, the Energy Policy Act of 1992, Sec. 2508, directed the Secretary of Agriculture to: 1) apply specified terms and conditions to surface-disturbing activities related to development of oil and gas on certain lands with outstanding mineral rights on the Allegheny National Forest, and 2) promulgate regulations implementing that section.

The Forest Service initiated rulemaking for the use of NFS lands for development activities associated with both reserved and outstanding minerals rights with an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) in the Federal Register on December 29, 2008.  Comments from the public in response to the ANPR and, later, internal comments in response to an initial internal draft of the rule conveyed a high level of concern about the broad scope of the rule as it was drafted at that time, along with a high level of concern about effects of a broad rule on small businesses and local economies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Uses--Terms and Conditions and Rental Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current regulations at 36 CFR 251.51 Definitions--The term "rent" is not included in the existing definitions section.  Rent is the term used in the predominate statutes authorizing use of the National Forest System and as well as the traditional term used by both the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to describe land use fees. However other statutes and traditional nomenclature use, land use fee, cabin use fee, fee for facilities or fee for improvements.  Adding this definition makes it clear that "rent" when used elsewhere in the regulation includes all other commonly used terms, or statutory fee references that do not use the word 'rent."

The current regulations at 36 CFR 251.56(d)2 Liability--A maximum liability limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence was established in 1980 (63 FR 65967) for high risk use and occupancy of National Forest System lands including power lines and oils and gas pipelines. Thirty years later, this amount remains unchanged.  It has never been indexed or adjusted to reflect increasing liability costs, normal business practices or the amounts required by other Federal agencies with similar programs. Forest Service will propose to revise the maximum liability amount from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 a periodic adjustment based on changes in the Consumer Price Index.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 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 rulemaking 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>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is required to issue regulations for National Forest System land management planning under 16 U.S.C. 1604. The first round of land management planning, and subsequent plan revisions, were conducted using the 1982 planning rule. The Forest Service published new planning rules at 36 CFR 219 in 2000, 2005, and 2008. The 2000 rule was replaced by the 2005 rule. Both the 2005 rule and a subsequent 2008 rule were invalidated by courts based on violations of NEPA, ESA, and APA in the rulemaking process. The Department reinstated the last valid rule, the planning rule published in 2000, on December 18, 2009. The 2000 planning rule allows the provisions of the 1982 planning rule to amend or revise plans. The Agency has been operating under the 2000 planning rule since then. On December 18, 2009, the Agency issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for a new planning rule.  The Forest Service issued a proposed planning rule and draft EIS for 90-day notice and comment on February 14, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Labor Law Violations Contract Clause</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under current procurement regulation and guidelines, contractors and subcontractors are required to follow numerous Federal labor laws in the performance of government contracts.  However, there is currently no existing contract clause requiring contractors to notify the Federal government of any known labor law violations.  

The Office of Procurement and Property Management (OPPM) would incorporate in all U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) contracts with a value above the simplified acquisition threshold a new clause entitled "Labor Law Violations."  By accepting the contract containing this clause, the contractor would certify that it is in compliance with the labor laws listed in the clause.  The contractor would be required to notify the contracting officer no later than seven calendar days after it becomes aware of any indictment, conviction or formal finding of non-compliance of its firm regarding any of three applicable labor laws within the past three years.  The applicable labor laws are:  (1) Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended:  29 U.S.C. 201, et seq., (2) Migrant and Seasonal Workers Protection Act, as amended: 29 U.S.C. 1801, et seq., and (3) Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  29 U.S.C. 651, et seq.  The contractor would be required to include this clause in any subcontract.  The certification and notification responsibilities of the clause would flow down to subcontractors of any tier.  Subcontractors would notify the tier immediately above in the event of any indictment, conviction or formal finding of non-compliance regarding the three labor laws.

This action is needed to increase transparency in USDA contracting and mitigate the risk of potentially awarding contracts to non-responsible entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Labor Law Violations Contract Clause</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under current procurement regulation and guidelines, contractors and subcontractors are required to follow numerous Federal labor laws in the performance of government contracts.  However, there is currently no contract clause requiring contractors to notify the Federal government of any known labor law violations.  The Office of Procurement and Property Management (OPPM) would like to incorporate in all U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) contracts valued above the simplified acquisition threshold a new clause entitled "Labor Law Violations."  By accepting the contract containing the clause, the contractor would certify that it is in compliance with the following labor laws: (1) Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended:  29 USC 201 et seq., (2) Migrant and Seasonal Workers Protection Act, as amended:  29 USC 1801, et seq., and (3) Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  29 USC 651, et seq.  The contractor would be required to notify the contracting officer upon becoming aware of any indictment, conviction or formal finding of non-compliance of its firm regarding any of the three applicable laws within the past three years.  The contractor would be required to include this clause in any subcontract.  The certification and notification responsibilities of the clause would flow down to subcontractors of any tier.]]></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>Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR): Mandatory Automated Export System Filing for all Shipments Requiring Shipper&apos;s Export Declaration Information; Substantive Changes and Corrections</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Census Bureau issues this rule to amend its regulations to reflect new export reporting requirements.  Specifically, the Census Bureau is requiring mandatory filing of export information through the Automated Export System (AES) or through AESDirect for all shipments of used self-propelled vehicles and temporary exports. The Census Bureau is also lifting the moratorium on accepting new applicants for the postdeparture filing program and modifying the program.  In addition to the new export reporting requirements and the modifications to the postdeparture filing program, the final rule will make remedial changes to the FTR to improve clarity and to correct errors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Census Bureau is resuming the Population Estimates Challenge Program in 2012 for the 2011 estimates forward and amending the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to rename the current Census program from Procedure for Challenging of Certain Population and Income Estimates to Procedure for Requesting an Estimates Review and Update.  The Census Bureau also is updating references to the method by which population estimates are officially released to reflect widespread use of the Internet for disseminating official demographic data.  Finally, the Census Bureau is eliminating per capita income from the Procedure for Requesting Population Estimates Review and Update because the Census Bureau no longer produces per capita income estimates mandated by the General Revenue Sharing Act of 1972.  The General Revenue Sharing program was discontinued in 1980 for the States; and in 1986 for local governments.]]></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>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") requests 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 C.F.R. 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>Regulation Strengthening Accountability of Attorneys and Non-Attorney Representatives Appearing before the Department </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Commerce (the Department) proposes to amend its regulations to add a subsection that strengthens the accountability of attorneys and non-attorney representatives who appear in proceedings before the Import Administration (IA).  If this rule is implemented, the Department will continue its long-standing practice of permitting attorneys and non-attorney representatives to appear before IA.  The rule provides that both attorneys and non-attorney representatives will be subject to disciplinary action for misconduct based upon good cause.  The rule also will assist the Department in maintaining the integrity of its proceedings by deterring misconduct by those who appear before it in antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) proceedings.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Foreign-Trade Zones in the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Foreign-Trade Zones Board (Board) revises 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 will 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 provide the zone community with guidance on the "public utility" and "uniform treatment" provisions of the Act.  The regulations 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 also improves its regulations regarding imposing fines for violations of the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is considering regulations to limit vessel disturbance to harbor seals and protect glacially-associated harbor seal habitats in Alaska used for pupping, nursing, resting, and molting.  The scope of these regulations encompasses the activities of any person or vessel that may diminish the value of essential glacial habitats for harbor seals, result in the unauthorized taking of harbor seals, or cause detrimental individual- or population-level impacts. NMFS requests information and comments on whether 'and if so, what type of' conservation measures, regulations, or other measures would be appropriate to protect harbor seals from the effects of vessel activity in glacial habitats.  Any recommendations received in public comments will be considered prior to any proposed rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Generic Amendment 4 for to Fishery Management Plans in the Gulf of Mexico: Fixed Petroleum Platforms and Artificial Reefs as Essential Fish Habitat </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Gulf Council) is concerned about the effect that the Removal of structures serving as artificial reef habitat may have on reef fish fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico. An abundance of individuals of managed reef fish species have come to associate with these structures over the past several decades. Fisheries, both recreational and commercial, have come to utilize these platforms as sites to catch these fish and the habitat provided by these structures may be necessary to support viable fish populations and associated fisheries. Artificial reefs are inhabited by a number of federally managed species and may provide important habitat necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding or growth to maturity. The purpose of this action is to consider the role of this habitat as essential fish habitat (EFH) in accordance with the regulations at 50 CFR part 600 subpart J. This generic amendment is intended to modify seven of the Council's FMPs through the modification of the Generic Essential Fish Habitat Amendment. These include FMPs for: Reef Fish Resources, Coastal Migratory Pelagics, Shrimp, Stone Crab, Coral and Coral Reef Resources, Spiny Lobster, and Red Drum. Currently, there are no oil and gas structures in any U.S. waters designated as EFH, and the Gulf Council has not previously identified artificial structures as a separate habitat type for EFH identification purposes or included them in their definition of "hard bottoms." In order for the National Marine Fisheries Service to approve the Gulf Council's proposal to designate oil and gas structures as EFH, the Gulf Council must demonstrate, using the best available scientific information, the necessary linkage of the habitat functions to major life history stages of species managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Act in accordance with the EFH regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In April 2012, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from the U.S. Navy for the promulgation of regulations and subsequent issuance of two 5-year Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to take marine mammals incidental to training and testing activities to be conducted in Hawaii-Southern California Training and Testing Study Area, over the course of five years.  These activities are classified as military readiness activities. Pursuant to Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), NMFS plans to propose regulations together with associated Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to authorize Level A and Level B harassment takes and takes by mortality of marine mammals incidental to Navy training and testing operations over a five-year period starting in 2014. NMFS is still developing the proposed rule and has not yet reached any preliminary determinations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 28 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A limited red snapper fishing season was established in 2012 through an emergency action under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.  The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) determined that some directed harvest could be allowed without compromising the rebuilding of the red snapper stock to target levels, and they saw the limited harvest as an opportunity to collect additional data on red snapper.  Through Amendment 28, the Council intends to establish a process that would allow this type of limited harvest for red snapper in 2013 and in the future, depending on the projected mortalities (landings and discards) for the current fishing year and the amount of harvest from the previous year.  The proposed actions would benefit fishermen and fishing communities that utilize the red snapper portion of the snapper grouper fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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[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>

This action makes the boundary conform to that of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, and provides 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.  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) revises 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 Governmentwide 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>Revisions to Permit Regulations for Federal Fisheries Permits (FFP) and Federal Processor Permit (FPP)  in Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule revises regulations and permit procedures for retention of an original Federal Fisheries Permit (FFP) onboard, and return of original permit prior to surrender of a permit.  The action allows fishing operations to meet FFP requirements by carrying a valid, legible copy, rather than the original, of the FFP, and by relieving operators of the need to submit an original if they surrender the FFP.  The action has positive net benefits, principally by reducing the administrative burden of permitting on industry.  It does not impose adverse impacts on any small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

The mechanism would provide the optimum use of western pacific pelagic management unit species allocated to the United States and its territories through arrangements between the territories and U.S. vessels.The establishment of a mechanism for these arrangements provides the U.S. territories (with the approval/consent of NMFS) the ability to assign a portion of their unused allocated catch limit to U.S. vessels in exchange for goods or services as they determine to be sufficient to support responsible fisheries development activities.]]></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>Reduce Sea Turtle Bycatch in Atlantic Trawl Fisheries</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

This regulatory amendment establishes: (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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission Resolution Establishing a Program for Transshipments by Large-Scale Tuna Longline Fishing Vessels in the Eastern Pacific Ocean</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rule would implement Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) Resolution C-08-02 that establishes a program to monitor transshipments of tuna and tuna-like species by large-scale tuna longline fishing vessels and carrier vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean.  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>Amendment 31 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 31 amends the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program by revising the active participation requirements for C share acquisition and use.  It will 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 Individual Fishing Quota (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 quota share will be revoked before 5 years from implementation of this amendment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to Specified Activities; Construction of the Knik Arm Crossing, Cook Inlet, Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS has received a request from the Knik Arm Bridge Toll Authority, in coordination with the Department of Transportation Federal Highways Administration, for authorization to take marine mammals incidental to construction of a bridge across Knik Arm, named the Knik Arm Crossing, Alaska, over the course of five construction seasons: approximately spring 2013 through autumn 2017.  Authorization for incidental takings may be granted if NMFS finds that the taking will have a negligible impact on the species or stock(s), will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of the species or stock(s) for certain subsistence uses, and that the permissible methods of taking and requirements pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring and reporting of such taking are set forth.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of Requirements for the Groundfish Retention Standard (GRS) Program in the BSAI</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would remove the minimum groundfish retention standards from the GRS program for the Amendment 80 sector.  Specifically, this action would remove from 50 CFR 679.27(j) sections (1) through (4), which require 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 action 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 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 rule 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Construction and Operation of a Liquefied Natural Gas Deepwater Port in the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 1, 2011, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received a complete application from Port Dolphin Energy LLC (Port Dolphin) requesting authorization for the take of two marine mammal species incidental to construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) deepwater port off the Gulf coast of Florida over the course of five years, which would necessitate the promulgation of five-year regulations.  Port Dolphin plans to build the LNG Port off the western coast of Florida, approximately 42 mi (68 km) from Port Manatee, Florida.  Once built, Port Dolphin anticipates up to 46 shuttle regasification vessel unloadings per year during the first several years of operation.  Noise produced during Port installation and construction activities and Port operations have the potential to take marine mammals.  Port Dolphin requests authorization to take two cetacean species by Level B harassment only: Atlantic spotted dolphin and bottlenose dolphin.  Injury or mortality is unlikely during the proposed activities, and take by Level A harassment (including injury) or mortality is not requested in Port Dolphin's application. MARAD and the USCG released a Final EIS for the proposed Port Dolphin LNG Deepwater Port on July 9, 2009.  NMFS was a cooperating agency in the preparation of the Draft and Final EISs. NMFS is still developing the proposed rule and has not yet reached any preliminary determinations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fishing Vessel, Fishing Facility, and Individual Fishing Quota Lending Program Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will provide two new sections to subpart B of 50 CFR 253, the programmatic regulations for the Fisheries Finance Program (FFP), to implement individual fishing quota (IFQ) loan programs for the Gulf of Mexico red snapper and grouper-tilefish fisheries.  The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (GMFMC) requested IFQ loan programs for these fisheries.  IFQ lending is authorized under what was formerly known as title XI of the Merchant Marine Act, codified at 46 U.S.C. 53701, et seq. and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), at 16 U.S.C. 1853a(g). The FFP collects loan principal, interest and fees in order to repay monies borrowed from the U.S. Treasury, and current IFQ lending maintains a negative subsidy under the 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. This action provides guidance and policy required to implement red snapper and grouper-tilefish IFQ lending.  It does not change general FFP eligibility or lending criteria.  FFP applicants must continue to demonstrate that 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. FFP IFQ loans provide funding for the purchase and refinancing the purchase of IFQ.  IFQ loans are available to entry level fishermen and fishermen who fish from small vessels.  Lending provides IFQ buyers and seller with a means to enter and exit IFQ fisheries.  FFP lending does not affect catch levels or the environmental effects of fishing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Trawl Rationalization Program; Cost Recovery Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would implement a Cost Recovery Program for the Pacific Coast Groundfish Trawl Rationalization Program (TRAT).  In accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) 16 U.S.C. 1853a MSA 303A(d)(2), the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to collect a fee to recover the actual costs directly related to the management, data collection, and enforcement of any limited access privilege program (LAPP), up to 3% of the ex-vessel value of the fish harvested under the LAPP.  The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) recommended and NMFS approved Amendment 20 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) in 2010, which acknowledged the MSA requirement for a Cost Recovery Program (Appendix E to the FMP).  NMFS implemented most of the Trawl Rationalization Program in January 2011 with notice that the design and implementation of a Cost Recovery Program would follow.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Highly Migratory Species Fishing Vessel Notification Requirements for Carrying Observers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes modifications to Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) pre-trip notification regulations codified at 660.712(f).  The regulations currently require longline vessel operators to notify NMFS 24 hours prior to departing on a fishing trip.  This notification requirement is in place to give NMFS time to place observers on longline vessels.  NMFS proposes to modify this requirement to a 72 hour notice in order to have adequate time for observer placement.  The rulemaking also proposes to modify the HMS FMP observer regulations codified at 660.719.  Currently, only longline vessel operators have a pre-trip notification requirement.  NMFS proposes to require pre-trip notifications for all other gear types covered by the HMS FMP.  This would allow for adequate time to place observers on HMS vessels and help NMFS attain observer coverage level goals.  Adequate pre-trip notifications would also help vessel operators avoid the inconvenience of having to remain in port for an extended period while waiting for an observer to arrive at the vessel.  Pre-trip notifications would be required for each gear upon annual notice by the agency, so only observed fisheries would be required to give pre-trip notification to NMFS or its designated observer service provider each year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Shark Management Measures  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would evaluate the management measures for several shark species based on recent shark stock assessments.  The rulemaking could consider, among other things, a range of commercial and recreational management measures in both directed and incidental shark fisheries including, but not limited to: quota levels, regional and seasonal quotas, retention limits, gear modifications, and time/area closures.  In addition, this rulemaking would implement a rebuilding plan for scalloped hammerhead sharks, as NMFS recently determined that scalloped hammerhead sharks are overfished with overfishing occurring (April 28, 2011, 76 FR 23794) based on a stock assessment adopted in 2011 for this species.  Sandbar, dusky, and blacknose sharks are currently being assessed with the final results expected to be released in mid-2011.  Based on the results of these assessments, NMFS may need to re-evaluate current management measures for these species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We, the National Marine Fisheries Service, are proposing critical habitat designations for lower Columbia River coho salmon and Puget Sound steelhead, currently listed as threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.  The areas under consideration include watersheds in the lower Columbia River basin in southwest Washington and northwest Oregon, as well as watersheds in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Washington.  This rulemaking identifies the areas proposed for designation and solicits comments regarding them as well as the supporting economic, biological, and policy analyses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment and Updates to 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).  This action amends the BDTRP to reduce serious injury and mortality of bottlenose dolphins in the Virginia pound net fishery (Category II).  The need for the action is to ensure the BDTRP meets its MMPA mandated short- and long-term goals.  NMFS examined 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 the Virginia pound net fishery to below PBR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Conducting Geological and Geophysical Exploration of Mineral and Energy Resources on the Outer Continental Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 18, 2011, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE), formerly Minerals Management Service (MMS), for  the promulgation of regulations and subsequent issuance of Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to take marine mammals incidental to oil and gas industry sponsored seismic surveys for purposes of geological and geophysical exploration on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the Gulf of Mexico from approximately 2012 through 2017.  The requested regulations would establish a framework for authorizing incidental take in future LOAs.  These LOAs, if approved, would authorize the take, by Level A (injury) and Level B (behavioral) harassment, of 21 species of cetaceans (20 odontocetes and 1 mysticete) incidental to seismic surveys for purposes of geological and geophysical exploration on the OCS in the GOM.  BOEMRE states that underwater noise associated with sound sources (i.e., airguns, boomers, sparkers, and chirpers) may expose marine mammals in the area to noise and pressure resulting in behavioral disturbance or temporary or permanent loss of hearing sensitivity.  NMFS published a revised notice of receipt in the Federal Register on June 14, 2011 (76 FR 34656).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>The 2013-2014 Biennial Harvest Specifications and Management Measures for the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Every other year, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) makes recommendations for setting biennial specifications (including the allowable harvest levels) for Pacific Coast groundfish, and recommends management measures for commercial and recreational fisheries that are designed to keep fishery harvests within the specifications.  The specifications and management measures associated with this action would be in effect from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014.   Where new scientific information indicates that an overfished species rebuilding is different than projected in previous rebuilding analyses, the existing rebuilding plans may also be revised.  In crafting management measures, the Council must work within the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, particularly for protection and rebuilding of overfished species, which means that allowable harvest levels of healthy species will only be achieved where such harvest will not deter rebuilding of overfished and depleted stocks.  Commercial management measures include landings limits, size limits, gear restrictions, and time/area closures.  Recreational management measures include bag limits, size limits, gear restrictions, and time/area closures.  NMFS is continuing the depth-based management program that it introduced in 2003, which closes portions of the continental shelf to fishing for groundfish and to fishing for many non-groundfish species in fisheries that take groundfish incidentally.  These closures are intended to protect and rebuild overfished groundfish species.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is necessary to provide analytical support for an amendment to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) examining potential rules to reduce the likelihood that groundfish permit holders will acquire or control excessive shares of fishing privileges in the fishery and that over-consolidation will occur within the fleet.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 89 to the GOA FMP Area Closures for Chionoecetes Bairdi Crab Protection in Gulf of Alaska Groundfish Fisheries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action, Amendment 89 to the GOA FMP Area Closures for Chionoecetes bairdi, will provide crab protection in Gulf of Alaska Groundfish Fisheries.  This action would close a portion of Marmot Bay, northeast of Kodiak Island, to the use of pot and trawl gear (with the exception of pelagic gear used to target pollock) in groundfish fisheries year-round and require additional observer coverage (100 percent for trawl vessels and 30 percent for pot vessels), in two areas east of Kodiak Island: the Chiniak Gully and State of Alaska Statistical Area 525702. This action is necessary to protect stocks of Tanner crab near Kodiak Islands from the effects of using non-pelagic trawl and pot gear used to target groundfish in Marmot Bay and to provide improved estimates of the incidental catch of Tanner crab in two areas east of Kodiak Island by vessels using non-pelagic trawl and pot gear and to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska.  The intended effect of this action is to conserve and manage the fisheries resources in the GOA in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Vessel Ownership Requirements of the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program for Fixed-Gear Pacific halibut and Sablefish Fisheries in and off of Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action amends the vessel ownership requirements of the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program for fixed-gear Pacific halibut and sablefish fisheries in and off of Alaska.  This action requires initial recipients of certain classes of quota share to have held a minimum of 20 percent ownership interest in the vessel for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the submission of an application to hire a master for the purposes of fishing an IFQ permit.  This action also temporarily exempts from the 12-month ownership requirement an initial recipient whose vessel has been totally lost, as by sinking or fire, or so damaged that the vessel would require at least 60 days of shipyard time to be repaired.  This action is necessary to maintain a predominantly owner-operated fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Listing Endangered and Threatened Species and Designating Critical Habitat; Implementing Changes to the Regulations for Designating Critical Habitat</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) (collectively referred to as the "Services" or "we") propose to amend portions of title 50, part 424, of the Code of Federal Regulations, which implements the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).  Part 424 clarifies, interprets, and implements portions of the Act concerning the procedures and criteria used for adding species to the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants and designating and revising critical habitat.  Specifically, we propose to amend portions of part 424 that clarify procedures for designating and revising critical habitat.  The proposed amendments would make minor edits to the scope and purpose, add and remove some definitions, clarify the criteria for designating critical habitat, and clarify the instructions for conducting the impacts analysis and considering exclusions.  These proposed amendments are based on the Services' review of the regulations and are intended to add clarity for the public, clarify expectations regarding critical habitat and provide for a credible, predictable, and simplified critical-habitat-designation process.  The proposed amendments would also address several court decisions and adopt conclusions from a 2008 legal opinion by the Solicitor of the Department of the Interior.  Finally, the proposed amendments are also part of the Services' response to Executive Order 13563 (January 18, 2011), which directs agencies to review their existing regulations and, among other things, modify or streamline them in accordance with what has been learned.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interagency Cooperation--Endangered Species Act of 1973, as Amended; Definition of Destruction or Adverse Modification of Critical Habitat</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) (collectively referred to as "the Services" or "we") propose to amend title 50, part 402, of the Code of Federal Regulations, which implements the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).  Part 402 establishes the procedural regulations governing interagency cooperation under section 7 of the Act.  The Act requires Federal agencies, in consultation with and with the assistance of the Secretaries of the Interior and Commerce, to insure that their actions are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of endangered or threatened species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat of such species.  In 1986, the Services established a definition for destruction or adverse modification (section 402.02) that was found to be invalid by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth (2001) and Ninth (2004) Circuits.  We propose to amend part 402 to replace the invalidated definition with one that is consistent with the Act, its legislative history, and circuit court opinions.  Finally, the proposed amendment is part of the Services' response to Executive Order 13563 (January 18, 2011) directing agencies to review their existing regulations and, among other things, modify or streamline them in accordance with what has been learned.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interagency Cooperation -- Endangered Species Act of 1973, as Amended; Incidental Take Statements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We, the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (collectively, "the Services"), propose to amend the regulations governing consultation under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), regarding incidental take statements.  The purpose of the proposed changes is to address (1) the use of surrogates to express the limit of exempted take, (2) when the take limit may not be an appropriate trigger for reinitiation of formal consultation during the course of a Federal action, and (3) when deferral of an incidental take exemption is appropriate.  These proposed changes should clarify our regulations for affected Federal action agencies as well as the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the National Standard 1 Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[National Standard 1 (NS1) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) states that conservation and management measures shall prevent overfishing while achieving, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from each fishery.  NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will seek initial public comment on potential revisions to the NS1 guidelines at 50 CFR 600.310 through an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking.  Based on comments received, NMFS may then consider revising the guidelines through a proposed and final rulemaking.  The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 was signed into law on January 12, 2007, and amended the MSA to include new requirements for annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) to end and prevent overfishing in Federal fisheries.  NMFS revised the guidelines for NS1 on January 16, 2009 (74 FR 3178) to provide guidance on how to comply with the new ACL and AM requirements.  Since 2007, NMFS and the Regional Fishery Management Councils have been implementing the new ACL and AM requirements.  Based on experience gained from implementing ACLs and AMs, NMFS has developed new perspectives and identified issues regarding the application of the NS1 guidelines that may warrant them to be revised to more fully meet the intended goal of preventing overfishing while achieving, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from each fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pacific Coast Groundfish Trawl Rationalization Program Reconsideration of Allocation of Whiting (Raw 2)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 21, 2012, Judge Henderson issued the remedy order in Pacific Dawn, LLC v. Bryson, No. C10-4829 TEH (N.D. Cal.).  The Order remands the regulations addressing the initial allocation of whiting for the shorebased individual fishing quota (IFQ) fishery and the at-sea mothership fishery of the Pacific Coast Groundfish Trawl Rationalization Program (program)  "for further consideration" consistent with the court's December 22, 2011 summary judgment ruling, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), and all other governing law.  Further, the Order requires that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) implement revised regulations before the 2013 Pacific whiting fishing season begins on April 1, 2013.  This action would implement revised regulations, as appropriate, including a reallocation of whiting and potentially some related species.  This action may include a Paperwork Reduction Act package to clear application forms, and any other necessary documentation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Generic Amendment to Several Fishery Management Plans in the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Regions to Modify Federally-Permitted Seafood Dealer Reporting Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this generic amendment is to change the current reporting requirements for those individuals or organizations that purchase species contained in fishery management plans managed by the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils.  Changes are proposed to the method/frequency of dealer reporting and the species that must be reported.  To ensure landings of managed fish stocks are below annual catch limits, improvements are needed to the accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness of data submitted by federally-permitted seafood dealers.  This action will aid in achieving the optimum yield from each fishery while reducing (1) undue socioeconomic harm to dealers and fishermen and (2) administrative burdens to fishery agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>International Fisheries; Western and Central Pacific Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species; Removal of Prohibition on Purse Seine Fishing in High Seas Areas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement the decision made by the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (Commission) at its Eighth Regular Session, in March 2012, not to extend the closure of two specific areas of high seas to purse seine fishing as established under a conservation and management measure adopted by the Commission in 2008 (CMM 2008-01).  Because the Commission decided not to extend the closure, the closure expired upon conclusion of the Commission's Eighth Regular Session.

Pursuant to the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act, 16 U.S.C. 6901 et seq., the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to implement regulations to carry out the obligations of the United States under the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (Convention), including the implementation of Commission decisions.  Regulations closing the two specific areas of high seas to fishing by U.S. purse seine vessels have been in effect since August 3, 2009 (RIN 0648-AX60).  Those regulatory closures were initially due to expire on December 31, 2011, consistent with CMM 2008-01.  Pursuant to an intersessional Commission decision of December 20, 2011, NMFS extended the high seas closures, along with other purse seine-related provisions, through December 31, 2012 (RIN 0648-BB73).  That extension was made via an interim rule, which NMFS intends to follow with a final rule.This rule would remove the prohibition on fishing in the two specific high seas areas for U.S. purse seine vessels and thereby implement the Commissions decision not to further extend the high seas closures of CMM 2008-01.]]></ABSTRACT>

These proposed regulations would allow juvenile parrotfish to mature into reproductively active females, and have a chance to spawn prior to harvest.  Reproductively active females are a necessary component of a healthy, sustainable population.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Open a Portion of the Georges Bank Closed Area to the Harvest of Atlantic Surfclams and Ocean Quahogs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service proposes to open a portion of the Georges Bank Closed Area to the harvest of Atlantic surfclams and ocean quahogs, which has been closed since 1990 due to the presence of toxins known to cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning.  The opening is based on a request from the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council and the recent adoption of testing protocol into the National Shellfish Sanitation Program at the October 2011 Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 42 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 42 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs (FMP). Amendment 42 revises the economic data reports (EDR) for catcher vessels, catcher/processors, shoreside processors, and stationary floating processors that are submitted annually by participants in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program (CR Program). These revisions are proposed through a general description in regulation of the collection of data, and a detailed description for data collected for approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This action is necessary to prevent redundancy, increase consistent reporting across respondents, and reduce excessive costs associated with the data collection. This proposed action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the FMP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Adjustment to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan for 2013-2014 Annual Catch Limits (ACLs) and Other Management Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This framework adjustment to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan, likely to be enumerated Framework Adjustment 48, would set specifications (i.e., catch allowances and management measures designed to ensure those allowances are not exceeded) for fishing year (FY) 2013, 2014, and possibly 2015.  This action would also adopt total allowable catches (TACs) for the U.S./Canada Management Area, consisting with the U.S./Canada Resource Sharing Understanding.  In addition, the framework adjustment may revise the status determination criteria for the Gulf of Maine and Georges bank cod stocks and white hake.  The action will likely include comprehensive modifications to the operations of sectors in the Northeast, designed to improve efficiency, monitoring, and catch accounting.   The New England Fishery Management Council is expected to take final action on the measures to be included in the action in November 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will implement new and modified commercial vessel permits to allow swordfish caught on rod and reel, handline, harpoon, green-stick, or bandit gear to be retained commercially.  The intent is to provide additional opportunities for the United States to more fully utilize its swordfish quota allocation, using fishing gears with low bycatch and bycatch mortality rates.  The careful expansion of swordfish handgear fisheries is warranted to make progress toward fully harvesting the U.S. swordfish allocation while minimizing bycatch.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 43 to the FMP for BSAI King and Tanner Crabs and Amendment 103 to the FMP for Groundfish of the BSAI </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 43 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs revises the current rebuilding plan for Pribilof Islands blue king crab (PIBKC) and Amendment 103 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area would implement groundfish fishing restrictions. A no-trawl Pribilof Islands Habitat Conservation Zone (PIHCZ) was established in 1995 and the directed fishery for PIBKC has been closed since 1999. A rebuilding plan was implemented in 2003; however, PIBKC remains overfished and the current rebuilding plan has not achieved adequate progress toward rebuilding the stock by 2014. The proposed rule would close the PIHCZ to all Pacific cod pot fishing in addition to the current trawl prohibition. This measure would help support PIBKC rebuilding and prevent exceeding the overfishing limit of PIBKC by minimizing to the extent practical PIBKC bycatch in the groundfish fisheries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 38 to the Fishery Management Plan for Reef Fish Resources in the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 38 consists of two management actions.  The first action would revise post-season accountability measures for shallow-water grouper species.  Currently, the accountability measures include in-season closures, post-season adjustments to the length of the recreational fishing season, and overage adjustments for overfished grouper stocks.  This action modifies the specific post-season accountability measure that reduces the length of the recreational season for all shallow-water grouper in the year following a year in which the annual catch limit (ACL) for gag or red grouper is exceeded.  The modified accountability measure would reduce the recreational season only for the species that exceeded its ACL.  The second action would modify the reef fish framework procedure.  The addition of accountability measures to the list of items that can be changed through the standard framework procedure would allow for faster implementation of measures designed to maintain harvest at or below the ACL.  Additionally, more general language would be added to the framework to accommodate future changes in naming of the Councils advisory committees and panels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action implements Amendment 95 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP).  This action modifies halibut prohibited species catch (PSC) management in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) to  1) establish the GOA halibut PSC limits in federal regulation; 2) reduce the GOA halibut PSC limits for the trawl,  hook and line catcher/processor and catcher vessel sectors, and the hook and line demersal shelf rockfish fishery in the Southeast Outside District; and 3) allow two additional options for vessels to better maintain groundfish harvest while achieving the halibut PSC reduction of this action.  This action is necessary to reduce halibut bycatch in the GOA. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the FMP, and other applicable law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 13 to the Fishery Management Plan of the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 13 to the Snapper Grouper FMP (Regulatory Amendment 13) revises the acceptable biological catch (ABC), annual catch limits (ACLs, including sector ACLs), and annual catch targets (ACTs) that were implemented by the Comprehensive ACL Amendment.  The ABCs, ACLs (including sector ACLs), and ACTs in the Comprehensive ACL Amendment were computed using recreational catch estimates generated by the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS).  Following an independent review by the National Research Council and a mandate from Congress, NOAA Fisheries has overhauled MRFSS.  The Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) was developed to provide more accurate recreational catch estimates by accounting for potential biases such as possible differences in catch rates at high-activity and low-activity fishing sites, or the amount of fishing occurring at different parts of the day.  MRIP methods have been used to recalculate previous MRFSS estimates dating back to 2004, and will be the basis for all new estimates moving forward. Therefore, Amendment 13 will update the ABC, ACLs (including sector ACLs), and ACTs for select snapper-grouper species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Management Measures for Pacific Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[At its annual meeting, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) adopted Resolution C-12-09, Conservation and Management Measure for Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. This rule will implement that resolution for U.S. commercial fishing in the Eastern Pacific Ocean for 2012 and 2013 by preventing further commercial retention of bluefin tuna after (1) the commercial catches of bluefin tuna by the international fleet reaches 10,000 metric tons; (2) the commercial catch of bluefin tuna by the international fleet reaches 5,600 metric tons during the year 2012. Notwithstanding these restrictions, the United States commercial fishery may take a catch of up to 500 metric tons of pacific bluefin tuna in 2012 and 2013. The pacific bluefin commercial catch limitations are not expected to result in a closure of the United States fishery because catches from recent years have not reached the 500 metric ton limit. The last time the United States exceeded 500 metric tons was in 1998.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designate Critical Habitat for the Hawaiian Insular False Killer Whale Distinct Population Segment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 1, 2009, we received a petition from the Natural Resource Defense Council requesting that we list the Hawaiian insular false killer whale as an endangered distinct population segment (DPS) under the ESA and designate critical habitat concurrent with listing. On January 5, 2010, we determined that the petitioned action presented substantial scientific and commercial information indicating that the petitioned action may be warranted, and we requested information to assist with a status review to determine if the Hawaiian insular false killer whale warranted listing under the ESA (75 FR 316, Jan. 5, 2010).  Based on the status review report, we determined that the Hawaiian insular false killer whale met the DPS criteria and we determined that the species warranted listing as endangered. On November 17, 2010, we published a proposed rule to list the Hawaiian insular false killer whale as endangered (75 FR 70169). On May 22, 2012, we were sued by the Petitioner for failing to make a final listing determination. We have reached a settlement agreement to make a final listing determination by December 11, 2012. Statutorily, a final critical habitat rule is due one year from a final listing rule. Therefore, we plan to publish a proposed critical habitat rule six months following the final listing rule, or by June 11, 2013, and publish a final critical habitat rule by December 11, 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 19 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The small-mesh multispecies fishery is composed of five stocks of three species of hakes (northern silver hake, southern silver hake, northern red hake, southern red hake, and offshore hake), and the fishery is managed primarily through a series of exemptions from the Northeast Multispecies FMP. Amendment 19 was developed by the New England Fishery Management Council to modify some of the management measures currently governing this fishery. These modifications include changing the incidental possession limit of silver and offshore hake; changing the possession limit of silver and offshore hake, combined, in the southern stock area for vessels using larger mesh; adding a year-round red hake possession limit; changing the post-season accountability measure that was implemented by the Secretarial Amendment; and other administrative changes to make management and monitoring of the small-mesh multispecies fishery more effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to modify the regulations implementing the Northeast (NE) Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to allow vessels to fish with gillnet and longline gear from June through December and with handline gear from June through August in a portion of inshore Georges Bank (GB) each year, outside of the requirements of the NE multispecies fishery.  This action would allow vessels to harvest spiny dogfish and other non-groundfish species in a manner that is consistent with the bycatch reduction objectives of the FMP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Action to Set the Annual Catch Limit and Optionally the Annual Catch Target for the Gulf of Mexico Vermilion Snapper Stock</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current vermilion snapper annual catch limit (ACL) is 3.42 million pounds (mp).  A 2011 stock assessment indicates vermilion snapper are not overfished or undergoing overfishing.  Based on the assessment, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's (Council) Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) has recommended an acceptable biological catch level much higher than the current ACL (>1 mp).  This framework action evaluates different options for setting the ACL and (optionally) an annual catch target consistent with the SSC's recommendation while minimizing the risk of overfishing.  The Council has requested a subsequent emergency rule that will increase the 2012 ACL to avoid a closure of the vermilion snapper component of the Gulf of Mexico reef fish fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Sturgeon Research in the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 20, 2012, USFWS submitted a complete application to NMFS, requesting issuance of regulations and subsequent LOAs governing the taking of marine mammals, by Level A harassment or mortality, incidental to specified sturgeon research in inland waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This ongoing research, which involves the use of gillnets, has resulted in only one incident of interaction with marine mammals in 26 years of survey efforts, resulting in death of two bottlenose dolphins from entanglement and subsequent asphyxiation. Following that incident, USFWS has implemented avoidance measures designed in collaboration with NMFS. Despite the rarity of marine mammal interactions, the potential remains for such events to occur.  USFWS requests authorization to take small numbers of bottlenose dolphins, Atlantic spotted dolphins, pantropical spotted dolphins, and striped dolphins by Level A harassment or mortality.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment 15 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulatory amendment contains the following two actions: (1) Modify the current yellowtail snapper ABCs and ACLs according to a new stock assessment.  In addition, consider changes to the January 1 commercial start date and consider establishing a commercial spawning season closure in order to promote beneficial biological effects to the yellowtail snapper population by protecting fish during spawning periods.  Actions are intended to also promote beneficial socioeconomic effects to fishermen and fishing communities that utilize the yellowtail portion of the snapper grouper fishery by increasing the probability of a year-round fishery and minimizing the probability of closures during peak harvest times. (2) Modify the existing commercial AM for gag grouper in order to reduce adverse socioeconomic effects to fishermen and fishing communities that utilize the shallow water grouper portion of the snapper grouper fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification to the Hired Skipper Regulations for Management of the Individual Fishing Quota Program for the Fixed-Gear Commercial Fisheries for Pacific Halibut and Sablefish in Waters of Alaska </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to amend the hired master regulations of the Individual Fishing Quota Program (IFQ Program) for the fixed-gear commercial Pacific halibut and sablefish fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska (GOA).  The IFQ Program allows initial recipients of catcher vessel halibut and sablefish quota share (QS) to hire a vessel master to harvest individual fishing quota (IFQ) derived from the QS.  When a hired master fishes an initial recipients IFQ, the initial recipient is exempt from being onboard the vessel.  If approved, this action would remove the owner-onboard exemption to hire a master to harvest IFQ derived from QS that an initial recipient received by transfer after February 12, 2010.  Between February 12, 2010 and the effective date of this action, initial recipient QS transferred into a QS block of the same category would retain the hired master privilege.  After the effective date of this action, no hired master privilege would be retained on initial recipient QS consolidated with QS of the same category.  This action is necessary to maintain a predominantly owner-operated fishery.  This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982, the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the BSAI, the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the GOA, and other applicable laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Action to set the 2013 Gag Recreational Fishing Season &amp; Bag Limit &amp; Modify the February-March Shallow-Water Grouper Closed Season </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Gulf of Mexico gag is overfished and the stock currently in a rebuilding plan.  The rebuilding plan is scheduled to increase the recreational annual catch target from 1.031 to 1.287 million pounds in 2013.  The current recreational gag season is July 1 to October 31 and was designed to limit the harvest to the 2012 recreational annual catch target of 1.031 million pounds while providing the longest possible recreational season.  One purpose of this framework action is to establish a 2013 gag recreational fishing season consistent with 1.287 million pound annual catch target, but to modify the season opening to provide greater socioeconomic benefits to the recreational community.  Moving the season to a time when there is greater fishing effort will reduce the number of days available to fish.  To counteract this, this framework action also considers setting a one fish bag limit for gag rather than 2 fish.  The current recreational shallow-water grouper closed season of February 1 through March 31 was developed partly to protect gag spawning aggregations.  However, because a separate recreational gag season has been developed as part of the gag rebuilding plan and other shallow-water grouper stocks are considered healthy, the utility of the shallow-water grouper closure has been questioned.  Therefore, a second purpose of this framework action is to evaluate the shallow-water grouper recreational closure to see if it should be modified or eliminated.  The underlying need for this action is established by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act which requires NOAA Fisheries Service and regional fishery management councils to prevent overfishing, and achieve, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from federally managed fish stocks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In July 2012, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received an application from the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT), on behalf of the City of Seattle, for authorization to take marine mammals incidental to construction associated with the replacement of the Elliott Bay Seawall in Seattle, Washington, over the course of five years.  

Pursuant to Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), NMFS plans to propose regulations together with associated Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to authorize Level B harassment takes of marine mammals incidental to pile driving operations over a five-year period starting in 2013. 

NMFS is still developing the proposed rule and has not yet reached any preliminary determinations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System; Guidelines to Certify and Integrate Non-Federal Assets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Program guidelines are being issued pursuant to NOAA's authority to certify and integrate non-federal assets into the United States Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) under the Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System Act of 2009 (ICOOS Act). The ICOOS Act authorized the Interagency Ocean Observation Committee (IOOC) to develop and approve certification criteria establishing eligibility for integration into the IOOS. These criteria assure the necessary policies, standards, data, information, and services associated with IOOS are appropriately established, coordinated, overseen and enforced. The program guidelines described in this action identify the process and requirements for certifying non-federal assets that meet the IOOC approved criteria, as Regional Information Coordination Entities (RICEs), and development and implementation of these are not expected to be controversial. When certified, a RICE is incorporated into the IOOS and for the purposes of determining liability arising from the dissemination and use of observation data shall be considered part of NOAA, extending specific protection from civil liability.]]></ABSTRACT>

A few minor technical inconsistencies in wording throughout the regulations were identified that have resulted in confusion and inconsistent application of the regulations amongst various national marine sanctuaries in the system.  The technical revisions will make the regulations internally consistent and will update language to current standards consistent with modern regulation drafting guidelines.]]></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 a November 20, 2008 JMPR final rule (73 FR 70488) the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries 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>Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA) Environmental Review Procedure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 107 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA) (Pub. L. 109-479) requires NOAA Fisheries to revise and update agency procedures for complying with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in context of fishery management actions.  It further requires that NOAA Fisheries consult with the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the Regional Fishery Management Councils (Councils), and involve the public in the development of the revised procedures.  The MSRA provides that the resulting procedures will be the sole environmental impact assessment procedure for fishery management actions, and that they must conform to the timelines for review and approval of fishery management plans and plan amendments.  They must also integrate applicable environmental analytical procedures, including the timeframes 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 revises and updates the NMFS procedures for complying with NEPA in the context of fishery management actions developed pursuant to MSRA.]]></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) will govern the application for and determination of commercial fishery failures as a basis for acquiring potential disaster assistance.  The regulations will 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>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 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>

        <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>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) has determined that the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment (GOM DPS) of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) is at risk of becoming endangered in the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.  This action establishes protective regulations for the GOM DPS of Atlantic sturgeon under section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  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 will apply all of the Section 9 prohibitions.]]></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>Revision to 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 will 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 will 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 will revise 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will require replacement of currently required Mobile Transmitting Unit (MTU) VMS units with Enhanced Mobile Transmitting Unit (E-MTU) VMS units in Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) fisheries, implement a declaration system that requires vessels to declare target fishery and gear type(s) possessed on board, and require that a qualified marine electrician install all E-MTU VMS units.  This rulemaking removes dated MTU VMS units from service in Atlantic HMS fisheries, makes Atlantic HMS VMS requirements consistent with other VMS monitored Atlantic fisheries, provides the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Law Enforcement (NMFS) with enhanced communication with HMS vessels at sea, and could increase the level of safety at sea for HMS fishery participants.  This rule affects all HMS pelagic longline (PLL), bottom longline (BLL), and shark gillnet fishermen who are currently required to have VMS onboard their vessels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Electronic Dealer Reporting Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking requires 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 clarifies 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 need to be submitted and accepted before a dealer can buy commercially-caught HMS.  Finally, this rulemaking requires 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>

        <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[This 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, proposes an alternative interpretation.  Because both agencies implement the ESA, we are doing this jointly so that we will have the same guidance.]]></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 rule describes the 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; Requirements for Transshipping and Bunkering, Notification of Entry and Exit into High Seas Special Management Area, and Discards</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 provisions for transshipments of highly migratory species (HMS) fish in the Commission's area of competence and of HMS fish caught in the Commission's area of competence but transshipped elsewhere, as well as provisions regarding bunkering and other support activities with certain vessels and provisions regarding the reporting of discards from purse seine fishing vessels.  At its Seventh Regular Session, in December 2010, the Commission adopted provisions for a high seas special management area.  This rule would implement these decisions adopted by the Commission by establishing the following requirements: reporting requirements for transshipments of HMS fish in the Commission's area of competence and of fish caught in the Commission's area of competence but transshipped elsewhere; requirements to provide prior notice of transshipments on the high seas; requirements to provide notice of emergency transshipments that would otherwise be prohibited; requirements for observer coverage for transshipments at sea; prohibitions on transshipments and bunkering and other support activities with certain foreign-flagged vessels; requirements to provide notice before entering and exiting a high seas special management area; reporting requirements for discards of catch from purse seine vessels; and requirements regarding net sharing between purse seine vessels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act; Identification and Certification Procedures to Address Shark Conservation</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 action is not expected to have adverse economic impacts, and any such impacts would be well below the economic threshold of impact pursuant to Executive Order 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).  However, this action is significant under the meaning of Executive Order 12866 because it could lead to trade restrictive measures applied against foreign nations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>To Establish a Voluntary Fishing Capacity Reduction Program in the Longline Catcher Processor Subsector of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area Non-Pollock Groundfish Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action establishes a second fishing capacity reduction program in the longline catcher processor subsector of the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands non-pollock groundfish fishery.  The maximum reduction cost is $2,700,000, funded by a loan to be repaid by landing fees for those participants remaining in the fishery.  The program makes payments for relinquishing all Federal fishing licenses and permits.  Participating fishing vessels can never again fish anywhere in the world and must remain U.S. flagged.  Reducing capacity will increase post-reduction harvesters' productivity, financially stabilize the fishery, and help conserve and manage non-pollock groundfish.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Navy Operations of Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System Low Frequency Active Sonar</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 17, 2011, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received a renewal of an application from the U.S. Navy requesting the unintentional taking of marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to deploying the Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) Low Frequency Active (LFA) sonar system for military readiness activities.  The Navy would operate a maximum of four SURTASS LFA sonar ship systems in certain areas of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea.

Pursuant to Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), NMFS will issue regulations together with related Letters of Authorization (LOAs) authorizing Level A and Level B harassment takes of marine mammals incidental to employment of the SURTASS LFA sonar system for training, testing and routine military operations over a five-year period commencing in August 2012.  This is NMFS' third MMPA rule making for SURTASS LFA sonar (under the MMPA, such regulations are effective for a maximum of 5 years).  The current regulations for SURTASS LFA sonar expire on August 15, 2012.

The Navy has prepared a draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS)/Supplemental Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (SOEIS) for the employment of SURTASS LFA sonar, which also supports NMFS' rulemaking under the MMPA. NMFS was a cooperating agency in the preparation of the DSEIS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Columbia River Crossing Project, Washington and Oregon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 22, 2010, NMFS received a complete application from Columbia River Crossing (CRC) - a joint project of the Oregon and Washington State Departments of Transportation, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Transportation - requesting authorization for take of three species of marine mammal incidental to construction and demolition activities in the Columbia River and North Portland Harbor, Washington and Oregon.  Portions of the project are anticipated to potentially last until March 2021; CRC has requested regulations to be effective for the period of five years from approximately July 2013 through June 2018.  Marine mammals would be exposed to various operations, including pile driving, demolition of existing structures, and the presence of construction-related vessels.  Because the specified activities have the potential to take marine mammals present within the action area, CRC requests authorization to take, by Level B harassment only, Steller sea lions, California sea lions, and harbor seals.  Injury or mortality is unlikely during the proposed activities, and take by Level A harassment (including injury) or mortality is not requested in CRC's application.

CRC released a Draft EIS for the proposed project on May 2, 2008, and released a final EIS in 2011. NMFS was not a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EIS, and will prepare a separate Environmental Assessment on the issuance of Letters of Authorization.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>12-Month Finding on Petitions to Remove the Eastern Distinct Population Segment of the Steller Sea Lion from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife; Rule to De-List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We, NMFS, have completed a comprehensive status review of the eastern DPS of Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  Based on the findings from the status review and consideration of the factors affecting this species, we have concluded the eastern DPS, as currently identified, meets the definition of a DPS under the ESA.  Based on consideration of information presented in the status review, an assessment of the factors in section 4 (a)(1) of the ESA, and efforts being made to protect the species, we have determined that this DPS is not in danger of extinction or likely to become endangered throughout all or a significant portion of its range in the foreseeable future. Thus, it no longer meets the definition of threatened under the ESA.  It has met the objective, measurable recovery criteria established for this DPS in the 2008 Recovery Plan.  We conclude that the eastern DPS of Steller sea lion should be removed from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife because (reason given as per 50 CFR 424.11) it has met the recovery criteria established in the Recovery Plan (NMFS 2008a); that is, it has recovered.  Thus, we find that the action requested by the petitioners in the two petitions, that this species be de-listed, is warranted.  Accordingly, we will remove the eastern DPS of Steller sea lion from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife.  At this time, we do not propose to modify the current designation of critical habitat for the Steller sea lion until we have an opportunity to evaluate potential effects of such modification on the western DPS of Steller sea lion.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alaska Groundfish Observer Program Restructuring</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations implement Amendment 86 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) and Amendment 76 to the FMP for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), (collectively referred to as "the FMPs"). Amendments 86 and 76 add a restructured service delivery model (the funding and deployment mechanisms for observer coverage) to the existing North Pacific Groundfish Observer Program (Observer Program) and amend existing observer coverage requirements for vessels and processing plants at 50 CFR 679.50.  The new service delivery model allows NMFS to determine when and where to deploy observers according to management and conservation needs, with funds provided through a system of fees based on the retained value of groundfish and halibut in fisheries covered by the new model.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Emergency Fishery Closure Due to the Presence of the Toxin that Causes Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This temporary rule extends a closure of Federal waters.  The FDA has determined that oceanographic conditions and alga sampling data suggest that the northern section of the Temporary Paralytic Shellfish Poison (PSP) Closure Area remain closed to the harvest of bivalve molluscan shellfish, with the exception of sea scallop abductor muscles harvested and shucked at sea, and that the southern area remain closed to the harvest of whole or roe-on scallops.  The regulations contained in the temporary rule, emergency action, first published in 2005, and have been subsequently extended several times at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  NMFS is publishing the regulatory text associated with this closure in this temporary emergency rule in order to ensure that current regulations accurately reflect the codified text that has been modified and extended numerous times, so that the public is aware of the regulations being extended.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Adjustment 47 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Framework Adjustment 47 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FW 47) would set specifications for fishing years (FY) 2012 through 2014.  FY 2012 specifications for 12 stocks last assessed in 2008 would be those previously specified in FW 44 and FW 45.  No specifications for these stocks would be made for FY 2013-FY 2014.  For stocks recently assessed, or assessed with an index-based assessment, specifications would be set for FY 2012-FY 2014.  FW 47 would also adopt total allowable catches (TACs) for the U.S./Canada Management Area, consistent with the U.S./Canada Resource Sharing Understanding.  In addition, FW 47 would revise the status determination criteria for the three winter flounder stocks and Gulf of Maine cod.  FW 47 would also modify management measures for Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder as well as modify accountability measures for five stocks.  FW 47 would modify restrictions on yellowtail flounder catch by the scallop fishery in the Georges Bank (GB) access areas, modify the administration of the scallop fishery yellowtail flounder catch limits, and create a mechanism to re-estimate the expected GB yellowtail flounder catch by scallop vessels mid fishing year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implement a Reorganization of 50 CFR 622 Regulations for the Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and the South Atlantic</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Current federal regulations directly applicable to the Southeast Region are located in 50 CFR parts 622 and 640.  The purpose of this rulemaking is to reorganize and combine parts 640 and 622 into one location, part 622, and to reorganize the regulations in a manner better suited to serve as a reference to the public and NOAA Fisheries Service personnel.50 CFR part 640 contains regulations for the Spiny Lobster Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic.  50 CFR part 622 contains regulations for the Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic.  The Southeast Region's part 622 regulations were last reorganized on September 11, 1996 (61 FR 47821).  The regulations in part 640 have never been comprehensively reorganized.The current organization of parts 640 and 622 is primarily by fishery management measure, for example, size limits, bag limits, and closures.  The purpose of this rulemaking is to reorganize these regulations by fishery, for example, the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Fishery or the South Atlantic Snapper-Grouper Fishery.  This new arrangement will present information in a more cohesive, less complex, and more specific manner to allow for greater ease of reference for the public and NOAA Fisheries Service personnel.  The action is strictly administrative in nature and is non-controversial.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Amendment 34: Commercial Reef Fish Permit Requirements and Crew Size on Dual-Permitted Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose for this amendment is to modify or eliminate income qualification requirements for the renewal of commercial permits and to address maximum crew size regulations for dual-permitted vessels when fishing commercially in order to consider the safety issues associated with spearfishing under the maximum crew size rule.  The need for this amendment is derived from National Standards 8 and 10.  Standard 8 states that, "Conservation and management measures shall, consistent with the conservation requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (including the prevention of overfishing and rebuilding of overfished stocks), take into account the importance of fishery resources to fishing communities in order to: (1) Provide for the sustained participation of such communities."  Standard 10 states that, "Conservation and management measures shall, to the extent practicable, promote the safety of human life at sea.  Fishing is an inherently dangerous occupation where not all hazardous situations can be foreseen or avoided. The standard directs Councils to reduce that risk in crafting their management measures, so long as they can meet the other national standards and the legal and practical requirements of conservation and management."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>International Fisheries; Western and Central Pacific Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species; Fishing Restrictions for Bigeye Tuna and Yellowfin Tuna in Purse Seine Fisheries for 2012</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule extends the effectiveness of regulations at 50 CFR Part 300 Subpart O pursuant to a decision made by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (Commission) in December 2011 to extend the effectiveness of a Conservation and Management Measure (CMM) originally adopted in December 2008.  The provisions of CMM 2008-01, "Conservation and Management Measure for Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean," were scheduled to expire December 31, 2011.  The CMM is intended to reduce or otherwise control the fishing mortality rates on bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO).  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 Commission decisions.  NMFS has issued regulations to implement the following provisions of the CMM: (1) limits on fishing effort in purse seine fisheries; (2) periods during which purse seine fishing may not be done on schools in association with fish aggregating devices; (3) areas of high seas closed to purse seine fishing; (4) requirements to retain tuna onboard purse seine vessels up to the first point of landing or transshipment; and (5) requirements to carry observers on purse seine vessels.  The existing regulations were effective until December 31, 2011.  This rule extends the effective date of the regulations in accordance with the recent Commission decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revising and Updating the Fishery Management Plan for the Salmon Fisheries in the EEZ Off Alaska</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action has three components.  Amendment 10 changes the FMP to provide authority for NMFS to recover the administrative costs of processing applications for any future permits that may required under this FMP, except for exempted fishing permits and prohibited species donation permits.  Amendment 12 comprehensively revises the FMP to facilitate State of Alaska salmon management in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the Pacific Salmon Treaty, and other applicable federal law.  Amendment 12 (1) modifies the FMP's management area to exclude the three traditional net fishing areas and the sport fishery from the West Area; (2) maintains the prohibition on commercial fishing in the West Area; (3) maintains the FMP in the East Area and reaffirm that management of the salmon fisheries in the East Area is delegated to the State of Alaska; and (4) revises and updates a number of FMP provisions bring it into compliance with the Magnuson-Stevens Act and other applicable federal, state, and international law.  Implementing Amendment 12 requires revising federal regulations to update specific regulations to reflect the revised FMP and remove obsolete regulations. This action also updates the FMP's essential fish habitat information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action implements fishing year 2012 interim catch and recreational management measures for Gulf of Maine cod.  This action uses flexibility in the Magnuson-Stevens Act to reduce but not immediately end overfishing based on General Counsel interpretation of section 304(e)(6) of the Act.  The interim measures are designed to reduce overfishing on the Gulf of Maine cod stock while the New England Council revises the stock's rebuilding plan and develops measures to end overfishing on the stock in fishing year 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2012 Gulf of Mexico Gray Triggerfish Annual Catch Limits and Annual Catch Targets for the Commercial and Recreational Sectors; and In-Season Accountability Measures for the Recreational Sector</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[At their February 2012 meeting, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) requested NOAA Fisheries Service implement an interim rule under procedures of the Magnuson-Stevens Act.  The Gulf of Mexico gray triggerfish stock was determined to be overfished and undergoing overfishing based on the results of the 2011 update stock assessment.  In addition, the assessment indicated the stock was not recovering at a level consistent with the stock rebuilding plan.  The Council is currently developing Amendment 37 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico to address these issues.  However, management measures proposed in this amendment will not be ready for implementation in the near future.  The interim rule sets the commercial and recreational annual catch limits and annual catch targets to reduce overfishing and would establish an in-season accountability measure to close the recreational sector when the annual catch target is projected to be caught.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 35 to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan Addressing Changes to the Greater Amberjack Rebuilding Plan and Adjustments to the Stock Annual Catch Limit in the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of this amendment is to adjust the greater amberjack rebuilding plan in response to results from the 2011 Update Assessment and subsequent Scientific and Statistical Committee review and recommendations for acceptable biological catch (ABC).  Following review of the 2011 Update Assessment the Scientific and Statistical Committee recommended an ABC of 1,780,000 pounds whole weight (ww).  The need for this amendment is that the current Stock ACL (equivalent to the total allowable catch (TAC)) of 1,871,000 pounds ww established in Amendment 30A exceeds the ABC recommendation.  Further rationale for the need of this amendment is based on a section 600.310(g)(3) of the National Standard 1 annual catch limit (ACL) and accountability measure (AM) guidelines (NS1) which states, "If catch exceeds the ACL for a given stock or stock complex more than once in the last four years, the system of ACLs and AMs should be re-evaluated, and modified if necessary, to improve its performance and effectiveness."  The greater amberjack Stock ACL has been exceeded twice in the last three years; therefore, this document includes a range of draft alternatives for adjusting the Stock ACL (equivalent to TAC), as well as subsequent recreational and commercial management measures to improve effectiveness of the Stock ACL and benefits to the greater amberjack stock in the Gulf of Mexico.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Adjustment 6 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This framework adjustment clarifies the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils (Council) risk policy, which is used by the Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) in conjunction with acceptable biological catch (ABC) control rules.  The risk policy ensures that the Council's preferred tolerance for risk of overfishing (40 percent or lower) is addressed in the ABC development and recommendation process.  The regulations that implement the Council's risk policy went into effect on October 31, 2011, as part of the Council's Omnibus Amendment to implement annual catch limits and accountability measures.  One component of the risk policy states that, "If an overfishing limit (OFL) cannot be determined from the stock assessment, or if a proxy is not provided by the SSC during the ABC recommendation process, ABC levels may not be increased until such time that an OFL has been identified."  This was designed to prevent catch levels from being increased when there are no criteria available to determine if overfishing will occur in the upcoming fishing year.  Following one of the first applications of the risk policy for the 2012 fishing year (2012 butterfish specifications), the Council found that there are limited circumstances in which the SSC may have the scientific justification for recommending that the ABC be increased for stocks without an OFL without resulting in an unacceptably high risk of overfishing.  This framework alters the risk policy by outlining the specific circumstances under which the SSC may recommend an ABC increase in the absence of an OFL.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>International Fisheries; Western and Central Pacific Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species; Bigeye Tuna Catch Limit in Longline Fishery for 2012</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements the decision made by the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (Commission) at its Eighth Regular Session, in March 2012, to extend until February 28, 2013, the longline bigeye tuna catch limits adopted as part of a conservation and management measure by the Commission in 2008.  If not extended, the Commissions longline bigeye tuna catch limits would have expired in March 2012.  The objective of this aspect of the Commissions decision is to reduce the fishing mortality rate from longline fishing on bigeye tuna in the western and central Pacific Ocean.  Pursuant to the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act, 16 U.S.C. 6901, et seq., the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to implement regulations to carry out the obligations of the United States under the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (Convention), including the implementation of Commission decisions.  This rule satisfies the international obligations of the United States by establishing a 2012 bigeye tuna catch limit in the western and central Pacific Ocean applicable to U.S. longline vessels other than those associated with fisheries in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Georges Bank Yellowtail Flounder Emergency Action to Provide a Partial Exemption From Accountability Measures to the Atlantic Scallop Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action, requested by the New England Fishery Management Council, exempts the Atlantic sea scallop fishery from any accountability measure specified by the fishery management plan for catch of Georges Bank yellowtail flounder exceeding the revised sub-annual catch limit (ACL) of 156.9 mt up to the initial sub-ACL level of 307.5 mt. The emergency rule is needed to respond to an unanticipated situation. The scallop Georges Bank yellowtail flounder sub-ACL was adjusted downward based on a projection of catch which indicated the scallop fleet would take much less than 307.5 mt. This revision process is outlined in regulation and may be performed at any time in the fishing year; however, such an adjustment is typically contemplated late in the fishing year when a large amount of yellowtail flounder catch in the scallop fishery data is available. The revision occurred earlier in the fishing year than anticipated by the scallop fleet in an effort to provide an immediate, greater harvest opportunity to the groundfish fishery. This revision modified the scallop sub-ACL by 49 percent and as a result, scallop fishing practices may require substantive change to ensure the sub-ACL is not exceeded. If accountability is maintained at the adjusted, lower sub-ACL there is a higher likelihood that a Georges Bank yellowtail flounder overage by the scallop fleet could occur resulting in accountability measures with substantial implications for the upcoming 2013 scallop fishing year. By exempting the scallop fleet from accountability measures at the lower, revised 156.9 mt sub-ACL but maintaining accountability at the 307.5 mt level initially set for the fishing year, there remains a need for the scallop fleet to mitigate yellowtail flounder catch but to do so within the context of the initial level established for the fishing year. There is also accountability at the fishery level that remains unchanged by this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interim Final Rule for 2012 Butterfish Specifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) met on September 14, 2012, in response to public comments that the current 2012 acceptable biological catch (ABC) for butterfish (3,622 mt) is too conservative, and that the butterfish mortality cap on the longfin squid fishery derived from this ABC may close the longfin squid fishery.  There has been anecdotal evidence of unusually high longfin squid abundance this fishing year, and the Council is concerned that closing the longfin squid fishery early would result in economic harm due to forgone harvest.  The Council requested that its Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) reconsider its 2012 butterfish ABC recommendation in light of its higher (8,400 mt) butterfish ABC recommendation for 2013.  The SSC revised their 2012 butterfish ABC recommendation to 4,200 mt and noted that the additional mortality at the end of the 2012 fishing year should not result in overfishing of the butterfish resource.  Accordingly, the Council recommended an increase of the butterfish ABC to 4,200 mt for the remainder of the 2012 fishing year, a decrease of the butterfish quota to 872 mt, and an increase of the butterfish mortality cap to 3,165 mt.  NMFS will implement this action through an interim final rule, with publication as soon as possible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current vermilion snapper annual catch limit (ACL) is 3.42 million pounds (mp).  A 2011 stock assessment indicates vermilion snapper are not overfished or undergoing overfishing.  Based on the assessment, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's (Council) Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) has recommended an acceptable biological catch level much higher than the current ACL (>1 mp).  The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) requested NOAA Fisheries Service to promulgate an emergency rule to increase the vermilion snapper ACL.   Landing projections for 2012 indicate the current ACL may be caught before the end of the 2012 fishing year (December 31).  If the ACL is met, accountability measures would close vermilion snapper fishing for the remainder of the 2012 fishing year.  Therefore, the Council asked for an emergency rule to increase the ACL to 4.19 mp.  This new limit is consistent with the management advice from the Council's SSC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[At the request of the New England Fishery Management Council (Council), NMFS would implement this emergency action to close the Elephant Trunk scallop access area (ETA).  The purpose of this action is to close the ETA to scallop fishing as soon as possible, to prevent vessels from fishing in the area, as it could negatively impact scallop recruitment and reduce long-term biomass and yield from the area.  This Federal Register document will reference the Environmental Assessment that NMFS has drafted regarding this exemption.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control Date for the Small Mesh Multispecies Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The New England Fishery Management Council (Council) is currently developing an amendment to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan.  This action is intended to implement a limited access program and potentially limit excessive control in the small-mesh multispecies fishery.  This advanced notice of proposed rulemaking would establish a "control date" for the small-mesh multispecies fishery.  The control date is intended to inform the public that acquisition of fishing privileges in the small-mesh multispecies fishery may be affected, restricted, or even nullified by measures that may be developed by the Councils in the future.  This notification also gives the public notice that interested participants should locate and preserve records that substantiate and verify their ownership or control of small-mesh multispecies records, as well as small-mesh multispecies landings history in Federal waters.]]></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) revises 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>

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

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Emergency Rule to Close a Portion of Federal Waters in the Gulf of Mexico in Response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An oil spill occurred on April 23, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 50 miles off of the Louisiana coast.  NOAA estimates 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 will 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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS, in consultation with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission and the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils, is considering changes to the current system of regulations that limit the potential size of a replacement fishing vessel.  The intent of this action is to solicit public comment at an early stage in the process on potential changes to the current system that are intended to reduce the complexity and burden on the fishing industry.  Any eventual regulatory changes would be developed as an omnibus amendment to the FMPs of both Councils.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announces that it is considering technical changes to the requirements for turtle excluder devices (TEDs), and to solicit public comment.  Specifically, NMFS would modify the size of the TED escape opening currently required in the summer flounder fishery; require the use of TEDs in the whelk, calico scallop, and Mid-Atlantic scallop trawl fisheries; require the use of TEDs in flynets; and 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>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 amends its regulations governing 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.  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  removes 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>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) proposes 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>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 redesignate regulations governing the small take of marine mammals, incidental to conducting specified activities (other than commercial fishing) in the marine environment.  In recent years, NMFS has promulgated an increasing volume of activity-specific incidental take regulations, and it expects this trend to continue.  Therefore, there will be a need for additional subparts to accommodate future incidental take regulations.  In order to create more space for additional incidental take regulations in a logically organized manner, NMFS is transferring regulations in subparts I, J, K, N, O, R, S, and U of part 216 to a new part 217, and transferring regulations in subparts P, Q, V, and X of part 216 to a new part 218.  This will open the rest of subpart 216 for additional regulations unrelated to incidental take under MMPA section 101(a)(5)(A) and (D), and create a dedicated subpart for incidental take regulations.  However, we anticipate that even part 217 will not be sufficient to contain all future regulations for specified activities that incidentally take marine mammals.  Therefore, NMFS also expects to use part 218 for new regulations for specified activities related to military ranges and part 219 in the near future for specified activities related to offshore oil exploration.  The purpose of this action is to make the regulations better organized and easier for the public to use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action adjusts 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, 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 amends existing commercial fishing regulations for the fixed-gear Pacific Halibut and sablefish individual fishing quota program at 50 CFR 679.  The amendment revokes 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 will 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 adds 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 corrects time limits for submitting some data, adds a new definition, and revises some tables to part 679 to support eLandings and to correct errors.]]></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 places all of the descriptive information for certain habitat conservation and research areas in one place, i.e., combines the figure with the map of the area and the table with the exact coordinates of the same area.  Under this action, Figure 16 is combined with the coordinates provided in Table 42 for the Bering Sea Habitat Conservation Area.  Figure 17 is combined with Tables 43 and 45 for the Northern Bering Sea Research Area and St. Lawrence Island Habitat Conservation Area.  Figure 21 is 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 is redesignated as Table 42.  Tables 43, 44, and 45 are removed.  This action makes the figures and associated tables less cumbersome to use by combining them.  This combination of data places all of the descriptive information for certain habitat conservation and research areas in one place.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Generic Amendment for Annual Catch Limits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The generic amendment modifies 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 developed 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, also developed 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[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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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[This rule implements Amendment 2 to the Fishery Management Plan for Queen Conch Resources of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Amendment 5 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Fishery of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (Amendments 2 and 5), prepared by the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council). This final rule: Establishes annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for queen conch and for all reef fish units or sub-units that are classified as undergoing overfishing (i.e., snapper, grouper and parrotfish); allocates ACLs among island management areas; revises the composition of the snapper and grouper complexes; prohibits fishing for and possession of three parrotfish species; establishes recreational bag limits for snappers, groupers, and parrotfishes; and establishes framework procedures for the queen conch and reef fish fishery management plans. Amendments 2 and 5 also revise management reference points and status determination criteria. The intended effect of the rule is to prevent overfishing of queen conch and reef fish species while maintaining catch levels consistent with achieving optimum yield (OY).]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School Training Operations at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS, upon application from the U.S. Department of the Air Force, Headquarters 96th Air Base Wing (U.S. Air Force), Eglin Air Force Base (Eglin AFB) is issuing regulations to govern the taking of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, by Level B harassment, incidental to Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School (NEODS) training operations at Eglin AFB, Florida, for a 5-year period. The U.S. Air Force activities are considered military readiness activities pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), as amended by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2004 (NDAA). These regulations, which allow for the issuance of Letters of Authorization (LOAs) for the incidental take of marine mammals during the described activities and specified time frames, prescribe the permissible methods of taking and other means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact on marine mammal species and their habitat, as well as requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of such taking. NMFS issued annual Incidental harassment Authorizations (IHAs) pursuant to section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA for similar specified activities in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. No activities have occurred to date under those IHA.]]></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 issues regulations to limit access of Federally permitted pot and hook-and-line catcher/processors (C/Ps) to the Pacific cod fishery in Alaska State waters within 3 nautical miles of shore adjacent to the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). The affected fishery is commonly known as the "parallel" fishery. The parallel fishery is managed by the State of Alaska concurrent with the Federal pot and hook-and-line fishery for Pacific cod in the BSAI. This rule limits access by Federally permitted vessels to the parallel fishery for Pacific cod in three ways. First, it requires an owner of a Federally permitted pot or hook-and-line C/P vessel used to catch Pacific cod in the State of Alaska parallel fishery to be issued the same endorsements on his or her Federal fisheries permit (FFP) or license limitation program (LLP) license as currently are required for catching Pacific cod in the Federal waters of the BSAI. Second, it provides that the owner of a pot or hook-and-line C/P vessel who surrenders an FFP will not be reissued a new FFP for that vessel within the 3-year term of the permit. Third, it requires an operator of any Federally permitted pot or hook-and-line C/P vessel used to catch Pacific cod in the parallel fishery to comply with the same seasonal closures of Pacific cod that apply in the Federal fishery. These three measures are necessary to limit some C/Ps from catching a greater amount of Pacific cod in the parallel fishery than has been allocated to their sector from the BSAI total allowable catch. Maintaining Pacific cod catch amounts within BSAI sector allocations also will reduce the potential for shortened Pacific cod seasons for C/Ps in the Federal fishery. These three measures will improve the effectiveness of NMFS' catch accounting and monitoring requirements on vessels participating in the parallel fishery. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area, the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, and other applicable laws.]]></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 sets ACLs and AMs, reviews current regulations, and implements reasonable and prudent measures from the Biological Opinion.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 3 to the Atlantic Deep-Sea Red Crab Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements measures that were approved in Amendment 3 to the Atlantic Deep-Sea Red Crab Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The New England Fishery Management Council (Council) developed Amendment 3 to bring the FMP into compliance with the annual catch limit (ACL) and accountability measure (AM) requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). This rule establishes the mechanisms for specifying an ACL and AMs and sets the total allowable landings (TAL) for red crab for the 20112013 fishing years (FY). NMFS disapproved two proposed measures in Amendment 3. This final rule implements additional management measures to promote efficiency in the red crab fishery.]]></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 this action amends 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 this action 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 implements 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 revises 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 rule changes the list of Management Unit Species codified in the HMS FMP final rule and modifies the process the Council uses to adopt 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>

        <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), issue a final rule to designate critical habitat for the southern Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of Pacific eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus), pursuant to section 4 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  We have designated 16 specific areas as critical habitat within the states of California, Oregon, and Washington.  The designated areas are a combination of freshwater creeks and rivers and their associated estuaries comprising approximately 539 km (335 mi) of habitat.  The tribal lands of four Indian tribes are excluded from designation after evaluating the impacts of designation and benefits of exclusion associated with tribal land ownership and management by the tribes.  However, no areas were excluded from designation 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 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.   Implementation of the 2011-2012 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 allows 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 2011-2012 harvest specifications final rule.  The rule also lowers 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>Modification of Regulations Governing the Retention of Incidentally-Caught Highly Migratory Species in Atlantic Trawl Fisheries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule modifies 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 modifies 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>Framework Adjustment 7 to the Monkfish Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Framework Adjustment 7 to the Monkfish FMP adjusts 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 also species a new day-at-sea (DAS) allocation and trip limits for the NFMA commensurate with the new ACT (as necessary), and adopts revised biomass reference points based on the recommendations of SARC 50 and the SSC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fisheries in the Eastern Pacific Ocean; Pelagic Fisheries; Vessel Identification Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule allows 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 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 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 allows 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>Federal American Lobster Area 1 Trap Fishery Limited Access Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule, from NOAA Fisheries Northeast Region, and the accompanying EA analyze alternatives associated with a limited access program for the American lobster trap fishery in Area 1, within the Gulf of Maine.  The action is prompted by the recommendations of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission in Addendum XV to Amendment 3 of the Interstate Fisheries Management Plan for American Lobster.  Addendum XV recommends that access to the Area 1 lobster trap fishery be restricted to limit the expansion of effort in the lobster trap fishery and rebuild lobster stocks to recommended levels.  An ANPR published in the Federal Register on January 2, 2009, informed the public that NOAA Fisheries is considering taking action in response to the Commission's recommendations and that publication date could be used as a control date for use in determining future eligibility for the Area 1 lobster trap fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit Amendment for the U.S. Caribbean for Fisheries Not Undergoing Overfishing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements Amendment 6 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Reef Fish Fishery of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (Reef Fish FMP), Amendment 5 to the FMP for the Spiny Lobster Fishery of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (Spiny Lobster FMP), Amendment 3 to the FMP for the Queen Conch Resources of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (Queen Conch FMP), and Amendment 3 to the FMP for Corals and Reef Associated Plants and Invertebrates of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (Corals and Reef Associated Plants and Invertebrates FMP). In combination, the amendments represent the 2011 Caribbean ACL Amendment prepared by the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council). This final rule will: Establish annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for reef fish, spiny lobster, and aquarium trade species which are not determined to be undergoing overfishing; allocate ACLs among island management areas; establish recreational bag limits for reef fish and spiny lobster; remove eight conch species from the Queen Conch FMP; and establish framework procedures for the Spiny Lobster and Corals and Reef Associated Plants and Invertebrates FMPs. The 2011 Caribbean ACL Amendment will also revise management reference points and status determination criteria for selected reef fish, spiny lobster, and aquarium trade species. The intended effect of the rule is to prevent overfishing of reef fish, spiny lobster, and aquarium trade species while maintaining catch levels consistent with achieving optimum yield (OY).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations, issued under the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, as amended, (Act) implement decisions of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). At its 82nd Meeting in July 2011, the IATTC adopted a number of resolutions, some of which require rulemaking to implement domestically in the United States. This rule implements three of these decisions: the Resolution on Tuna Conservation 2011-2013 (C-11-01); the Resolution Prohibiting Fishing on Data Buoys (C-11-03); and the Resolution Prohibiting the Retention of Oceanic Whitetip Sharks (C-11-10). This action is necessary for the United States to satisfy its obligations as a member of the IATTC.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 15 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <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).  Amendment 15 to the Scallop FMP includes measures that will 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Framework 22 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop FMP (Framework 22) sets management measures for the scallop fishery for the 2011-2013 fishing years (FYs), including the annual catch limits (ACL) and annual catch targets for the limited access and limited access general category fleets based on the ACL framework proposed in Amendment 15 to the FMP.  In addition, Framework 22 revises the scallop access area schedules for FYs 2011-2013, sets the scallop days-at-sea (DAS) allocations and sea scallop access area trip allocations, and sets measures to minimize impacts of incidental take of sea turtles in the Mid-Atlantic total allowable catches (TACs) for the Northern Gulf of Maine management area, observer set-aside, and incidental landings (target TAC).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action publishes 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) 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 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>Bering Sea Chinook Salmon Economic Data Reporting Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS implements 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 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 requires submission of each of the following three reports/surveys.  These will 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 will 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 will 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>Modification of Swordfish Retention Limits for the West Coast Deep-Set Tuna Longline Fishery under Authority of the Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action implements 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 is ten swordfish.  If using circle hooks the trip limit is 25 swordfish.  If carrying an observer there is no limit.  Regulations prohibiting shallow-set longline to target swordfish remain in place.  The previous trip limit was 10, regardless of hook type or observer presence.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; North and South Atlantic 2011 Commercial Swordfish Quotas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule modifies the 2011 fishing season quotas for North and South Atlantic swordfish based on recent updated landings information.  This rule also implements recommendations from the 2010 annual meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).  This 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 E.O. 12866 since it is below the economic threshold of impact, and has no novel or legal policy issues associated with it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This temporary rule extends the effective date of interim measures to reduce overfishing of gag in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) implemented by a temporary rule published by NMFS on June 2, 2011. This temporary rule extends the interim measures implemented to reduce overfishing of gag in the Gulf by reducing the commercial quota for gag and, thus, the combined commercial quota for shallow-water grouper species (SWG), establishing a 2-month recreational season for gag, and suspending red grouper multi-use allocation in the Gulf grouper and tilefish individual fishing quota (IFQ) program, as recommended by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council). The intended effect of this rule is to reduce overfishing of the gag resource in the Gulf.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations implement Amendment 88 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA FMP). Amendment 88 is the Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Program (Rockfish Program). These regulations allocate exclusive harvest privileges to a specific group of license limitation program license holders who used trawl gear to target Pacific ocean perch, pelagic shelf rockfish, and northern rockfish during particular qualifying years. The Rockfish Program retains the conservation, management, safety, and economic gains realized under the Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Pilot Program (Pilot Program) and resolves identified issues in the management and viability of the rockfish fisheries. This action is necessary to replace particular Pilot Program regulations that are scheduled to expire at the end of 2011. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson- Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the GOA FMP, and other applicable law.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modifications Marine Mammal Protection Regulations Governing U.S. Navy Training to Allow for Multi-Year Letters of Authorizations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the National Marine Fisheries Service issued 5-year regulations governing the taking of marine mammals incidental to training activities conducted by the U.S. Navy on multiple training complexes.  These existing regulations allow for the issuance of annual letters of authorization (LOAs) that authorize the take of multiple species of marine mammal incidental to the Navy's specified activities.  In this proposed modification to these final rules, we would increase flexibility by allowing for the issuance of multi-year LOAs.  For rules in which the permissible types of training activities are strictly defined, we would increase flexibility by inserting language that will allow for authorization of take incidental to the previously identified activities or similar activities, provided that the implementation of these changes in LOAs does not result in exceeding the incidental take analyzed and identified in the final rules.  This action will result in greater administrative efficiencies for both NMFS and the Navy, and is not considered significant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals: U.S. Navy Training in the Virginia Capes Range Complex and Jacksonville Range Complex</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 3, 2008, 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 NSWC PCD study area over the course of 5 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 requested authorization to take individuals of these cetacean species by Level B Harassment.  Further, the Navy requested 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.

These rules quantify the specific amounts of training activities involving underwater detonations that will occur over the course of the 5-year rules, and indicate that marine mammal take may only be authorized in an LOA incidental to the types and amounts of training activities and explosives described. No language was included expressly allowing for deviation from those precise levels of training activities and amounts of explosives even if the total number of takes remain within the analyzed and authorized limits. Since the issuance of these 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 training events and explosives that they conduct and use. In response to this need, NMFS has, through this interim final rule, amended the VACAPES and JAX regulations to explicitly allow for greater flexibility in the types and amount of training activities that they conduct and explosives that they use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Repeal of the Fishery Management Plan for the Stone Crab Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action repeals the Fishery Management Plan for the Stone Crab Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP) and removes its implementing regulations, as requested by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council).  The stone crab fishery takes place primarily in state waters (off the coast of Florida) and Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is extending its management into Federal waters.  Repealing the Federal regulations would eliminate duplication of management efforts, reduce costs, and align with the President's Executive Order 13563, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review," to ensure Federal regulations are more effective and less burdensome in achieving regulatory objectives.  The intended effect of this action is to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of managing the stone crab fishery in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implement Framework Adjustment 46 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule partially approves Framework Adjustment (FW) 46 to the NE Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP), which increases the haddock incidental catch cap allocated to the Atlantic midwater trawl herring fishery to 1 percent of the Georges Bank (GB) haddock Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC) and to 1 percent of the Gulf of Maine (GOM) haddock ABC, thereby, adjusting final fishing year (FY) 2011 specifications for the other fishery components of these ABCs. In addition, this action modifies the method for estimating haddock catch in the herring fishery and the relevant accountability measures (AMs) such that, upon attainment of the cap, the midwater trawl herring fleet may not catch or land herring in excess of the incidental catch limit (2,000 lb (907.2 kg)) in or from the appropriate haddock stock area. 

In addition, in this action NMFS disapproves measures in FW 46 that would have required open access herring vessels using midwater trawl gear to report total kept catch, and notify the Office of Law Enforcement, prior to landing. NMFS also disapproves a measure to require all midwater trawl vessels to report gear used on each trip into the Gulf of Maine or Georges Bank. FW 46 was developed by the New England Fishery Management Council (Council) to address the haddock incidental catch cap in the Atlantic herring fishery to allow the herring fishery to achieve optimum yield, by establishing a better opportunity to fully harvest the available herring quota, while providing incentives for the midwater trawl fishery to minimize haddock catch and, ensuring that haddock catch is adequately controlled and monitored.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Increase the Commercial and Recreational Quotas for Red Snapper in the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This emergency rule increases the recreational quota for red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) reef fish fishery for the 2011 fishing season and suspend the October 1 closure date, as requested by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council). At its May 2011 meeting, the Council's Science and Statistical Committee (SSC) recommended that the red snapper total allowable catch (TAC) be increased by 345,000 lb (156,489 kg). At its June 2011 meeting, the Council requested that NMFS publish an emergency rule to assign the entire 345,000 lb (156,489 kg) of additional TAC to the recreational sector and suspend the October 1 closure date of the recreational fishing season. If NMFS determines, after reviewing the data, that the recreational red snapper quota was not reached by the July 19, 2011, projected closure date, NMFS will publish a subsequent rule in the Federal Register to reopen red snapper harvest for a limited time period during the 2011 fishing season. The intent of this rulemaking is to achieve the optimum yield for the fishery, thus enhancing social and economic benefits to the fishery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action implements revisions to the Pacific coast groundfish trawl rationalization program (program), a catch share program, and includes regulations that affect all commercial sectors (limited entry trawl, limited entry fixed gear, and open access) managed under the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP). This action includes regulatory amendments to further implement Amendments 20 and 21 to the FMP and an FMP amendment to further revise Amendment 21 (called Amendment 21-1). This action includes, but is not limited to: Revisions to the Pacific halibut trawl bycatch mortality limit; clarification that Amendment 21 supersedes limited entry/open access allocations for certain groundfish species; revisions to the observer coverage requirement while a vessel is in port and before the offload is complete; revisions to the electronic fish ticket reporting requirements; revisions to the first receiver site license requirement; further clarification on moving between limited entry and open access fisheries; a process for end-of-the-year vessel account reconciliation;and an exemption from processing at sea for qualified participants in the Shorebased Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplement Amendment 26 and Amendment 29 to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) of the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 26 to the Reef Fish fishery management plan (FMP) established the Gulf of Mexico Red Snapper Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) program.  This amendment contains provisions to allow public participation after five years of the program.  As of January 1, 2012, all U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens are eligible to participate in the Gulf Red Snapper IFQ program.  Amendment 29 to the Reef Fish FMP established the Gulf of Mexico Grouper-Tilefish IFQ program.  Under the revised Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA) of 2007, regulations require any participant in IFQ programs to be U.S. citizens.  Previously, information verifying U.S. citizenship is not collected on Federal Reef Fish permit applications.  The intended effect of this action is to establish the requirements and procedures for collecting information necessary to identify participants in order to monitor, enforce, and review the IFQ program as specified in Amendments 26 and Amendment 29 to the Reef Fish FMP.  This action establishes the requirement that any U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien applying for participation or person previously issued an IFQ online account by NOAA Fisheries Service's Southeast Region must provide such information on an IFQ online account application to obtain an IFQ online account.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 97 to the BSAI FMP will allow owners of an original qualifying Amendment 80 trawl catcher/processor vessels not listed under the American Fisheries Act to replace a vessel with another vessel for any purpose.  Only one replacement vessel may be used at any given time (one-for-one replacement).  This action limits the size of a replacement vessel, not to exceed an LOA of 295 feet (89.9 m).  A replacement vessel that replaces an Amendment 80 vessel eligible to direct fish for flatfish in the GOA will continue to be allowed to directed fish in the GOA flatfish fishery.  A replacement vessel cannot enter an Amendment 80 fishery without quota share (QS) being assigned to that vessel or the associated permit.  Persons holding QS permit associated with a vessel that is permanently ineligible to re-enter US fisheries is eligible to replace the vessel associated with its QS permit. Any vessel replaced under this program may be used to replace other 80 vessels.  Vessels not assigned to the Amendment 80 fishery would have a sideboard limit of zero in the BSAI and GOA groundfish fisheries.  Vessels must be classed and loadlined or meet the requirements of ACSA to be used to replace other the Amendment 80 vessels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment to the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan to Increase the Total Allowable Catch for Red Grouper</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements the management actions described in a regulatory amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP) prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council). This rule increases the 2011 commercial quota for red grouper, and thereby increases the 2011 commercial quota for shallow water grouper (SWG), sets the commercial quota for red grouper and SWG from 2012 to 2015 and subsequent fishing years, and increases the red grouper recreational bag limit from two to four fish within the current four-fish grouper aggregate bag limit. The increase in the recreational bag limit will allow the recreational sector to more effectively harvest the increase in the recreational allocation established in the regulatory amendment. The intended effect of this rule is to help prevent overfishing of red grouper while achieving optimum yield (OY) by increasing the red grouper harvest consistent with the findings of the recent 2010 re-run of the stock assessment for this species using updated information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 93 to Implement Chinook Salmon Prohibited Species Catch Limits in the Gulf of Alaska Pollock Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action limits Chinook salmon prohibited species catch (PSC) and increases monitoring in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) pollock fishery.  A 25,000 lb Chinook salmon PSC annual limit is apportioned between the GOA Central and Western Regulatory Areas, with a 18,316 lb Chinook salmon PSC limit in the Central Regulatory Area and a 6,684 lb Chinook salmon PSC limit in the Western Regulatory Area.  If the PSC limit is reached in a regulatory area that pollock fishery would be close.  To provide better information on the quantity and source of salmon incidentally caught in the pollock fishery, this action also would increases observer coverage on vessels less than sixty feet in length overall and require full of salmon.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Comprehensive Ecosystem Based Amendment 2</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Comprehensive Ecosystem-Based Amendment 2 specifies the annual catch limit (ACL) for octocorals in the South Atlantic region.  The South Atlantic Council is modifying the fishery management unit (FMU) for octocorals under the Fishery Management Plan for Coral, Coral Reefs, Live/Hardbottom Habitats of the South Atlantic Region (Coral FMP) to specify that octocorals are included in the exclusive economic zone off of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.  As a result of reducing the management unit for octocorals, the South Atlantic Council is also considering an action to set the ACL at zero. CE-BA 2 amends the Snapper Grouper FMP and FMP for the Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico to require that harvest (with the use of all non-prohibited fishing gear) and possession of snapper grouper and coastal migratory pelagic managed species in South Carolina SMZs be limited to the recreational bag limit. An action to modify sea turtle and smalltooth sawfish release gear requirements for the snapper grouper fishery is also included in CE-BA 2. This action amends the Council FMPs as needed to designate new or modify existing EFH and EFH-HAPCs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action implements a revised version of Amendment 16-5.  It takes the form of a Secretarial Amendment to the FMP pursuant to section 304(c) of the MSA.  A Secretarial Amendment is necessary because the Council at its June 2011 meeting chose not to resubmit Amendment 16-5 and instead allowed NMFS to take action to develop and adopt the amendment.  While a Secretarial Amendment is rare, the substance of this Amendment is routine.  NMFS makes only minor changes to the original Amendment 16-5 that was submitted by the Council to NMFS; these changes are consistent with the rebuilding plans, flatfish reference points, and catch levels established in the 2011 final rule.  (75 FR 27508, May 11, 2011).  The specifications and management measures forwarded by this action are in effect from January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2012 Specifications and Management Measures for the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action establishes specifications and management measures for the 2012 fishing year for Atlantic mackerel, squid, and butterfish (MSB).  This is the first year that the specifications are being recommended for Atlantic mackerel and butterfish under the provisions of the Council's Annual Catch Limit and Accountability Measure (ACL/AM) Omnibus Amendment, for which a proposed rule was published on June 17, 2011 (76 FR 35578).  Illex squid and Loligo squid are exempt from these requirements because they have a life cycle of less than 1 year.  This is also the first year that the Council adopted a 3-year recommendation for specifications for both squid species, subject to annual review.  Compared to 2011 quotas, the Illex quota is decreased by 2%, the Loligo quota is increased by 13%, the mackerel quota is decreased by 28%, the butterfish quota is increased by 117%, and the butterfish mortality cap is increased by 70%.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The temporary emergency rule increases the skate complex acceptable biological catch (ABC), annual catch limit (ACL), annual catch target (ACT), and annual total allowable landings (TALs) consistent with best available scientific information, and the procedures contained in the Northeast Skate Complex Fishery Management Plan.  The Council requested the emergency action after receiving a new recommendation for ABC from the Scientific and Statistical Committee in June 2011.  The action is needed to extend the fishing season for the directed skate fisheries, and help avoid the economic impacts of a potential fishery closure before the end of the fishing year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements Amendment 18 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Region (FMP), as prepared and submitted by the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils (Councils). This rule removes species from the FMP; modifies the framework procedures; establishes two migratory groups for cobia; and establishes annual catch limits (ACLs), annual catch targets (ACTs), and accountability measures (AMs) for king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and cobia. In addition, Amendment 18 sets allocations for Atlantic migratory group cobia and establishes control rules for king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and cobia. The intent of this rule is to specify ACLs for species not undergoing overfishing while maintaining sustainable catch levels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action implements Amendment 17 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan by relieving state fishery management agencies operating NOAA-sponsored permit banks from the current requirement to either form or join an approved groundfish sector in order to transfer groundfish annual catch entitlement to other sectors.  This is an administrative change that only affects the procedures such NOAA-sponsored, state-operated permit banks must follow in order to operate.  This action reduces the administrative complexities for states operating NOAA-sponsored permit banks, and promotes the effective and efficient operation of such permit banks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 2012 Atlantic Shark Quota Specifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes the opening dates and adjusts quotas for the 2012 fishing season for the Atlantic commercial shark fisheries. Quotas were adjusted based on over- and/or underharvests experienced during the 2010 and 2011 Atlantic commercial shark fishing seasons. In addition, NMFS is using previously-implemented adaptive management measures to provide, to the extent practicable, fishing opportunities for commercial shark fishermen in all regions and areas to determine the opening dates. These actions are expected to provide fishing opportunities for commercial shark fishermen in the northwestern Atlantic, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is necessary to ensure recent legislation, namely the 2010 Shark Conservation Act, is fully considered and to allow time for a section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to be completed.  NMFS expects that the smoothhound management measures will become effective upon the effective date of the rule implementing the Shark Conservation Act smooth dogfish measures or following completion of the section 7 Biological Opinion, whichever is later.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of Standardized Bycatch Reporting Methodology Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 15, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a ruling in the case of Oceana, Inc. v. Locke (Civil Action No. 08-318).  That ruling vacated the Standardized Bycatch Reporting Methodology Omnibus Amendment and remanded to the National Marine Fisheries Service.  To comply with that ruling, the National Marine Fisheries Service is taking this action to remove regulations implemented by the Standardized Bycatch Reporting Methodology Omnibus Amendment final rule (January 28, 2008, 73 FR 4736).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing Marine Mammals: U.S. Navy Training in 12 Range Complexes and U.S. Air Force Space Vehicle and Test Flight Activities in California</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Between January 2009 and May 2011, pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS issued twelve 5-year final regulations to govern the unintentional taking of marine mammals incidental to Navy training and associated activities. Additionally, in February 2009, pursuant to the MMPA, NMFS issued 5-year regulations to govern the unintentional taking of marine mammals incidental to U.S. Air Force (USAF) space vehicle and test flight activities from Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB). These regulations require the issuance of annual "Letters of Authorization" (LOAs). 

Since the issuance of the 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. NMFS now amends the regulations for the affected Navy training ranges to provide for additional flexibility and allow for LOAs with longer periods of validity. Similarly, NMFS now amends the regulations issued to VAFB in February 2009, to allow for greater flexibility regarding the types and amounts of missile and rocket launches that the USAF conducts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) voted at their October 2011 meeting to establish a control date of January 1, 2012, for the Red Snapper IFQ Program.  The control date enables the Council to inform current and potential participants that it is considering creating additional restrictions limiting participation, including a "use it or lose it" provision.  It announces that anyone entering the program after the control date will not be assured of future access should a management regime that limits participation in the program be prepared and implemented.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Framework Action to Revise the List of Allowable Bycatch Reduction Devices for the Southeastern Shrimp Fisheries and Relax an Effort Restriction for the Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishery</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the framework procedures for adjusting management measures of the Fishery Management Plan for the Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf FMP) and the Fishery Management Plan for the Shrimp Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (South Atlantic FMP), this rule certifies two new bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) for use in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) and South Atlantic shrimp fisheries, and revises a harvesting restriction for shrimp vessels fishing in Federal waters of the Gulf.  Both BRDs represent modifications to the Composite Panel BRD, which is provisionally certified through May 24, 2012.  This rule incorporates these BRDs into the list of allowable BRDs, and provides technical specifications for the construction and subsequent legal enforcement of these BRDs.  Additionally, this rule reduces the shrimp effort threshold for the Gulf shrimp fishery.  The intended effect of this final rule is to improve bycatch reduction efforts in the Gulf and South Atlantic shrimp fisheries, provide greater flexibility to the industry, reduce the social and economic impacts to fishing communities, and meet the requirements of National Standard 9 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment to Modify Monitoring and Enforcement Requirements in the Bering Sea Aleutian Islands Freezer Longline Fleet</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS modifies its regulations at 50 CFR part 679 governing equipment and operational requirements that apply to freezer longliners (catcher/processors) that fish for Pacific cod in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). These regulatory amendments address the need for enhanced catch accounting, monitoring, and enforcement created by the formation of a voluntary cooperative by this fleet in 2010, and are necessary to improve the precision of the accounting for allocated quota species. The regulations require vessel operators to select between the following two monitoring options:  (1) carry two observers so that all catch can be sampled, or (2) carry one observer and use a motion-compensated scale to weigh Pacific cod before it is processed. The monitoring option selected must be used any time the vessel is operating in either the BSAI or Gulf of Alaska groundfish fisheries. Vessel operators that notify NMFS that they will not be fishing for Pacific cod in the BSAI at any time during a particular year would not be required to select one of the monitoring options and would continue to follow existing observer coverage and catch reporting requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2012 Pacific Halibut Fisheries; Catch Sharing Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Each year, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) reviews and receives public comment on its Pacific Halibut Catch Sharing Plan (Plan) to determine whether revisions are needed to achieve management objectives for any of the West Coast halibut fisheries.  Washington treaty tribes that fish for halibut hold a directed commercial fishery and a ceremonial and subsistence fishery off the Washington coast.  Non-treaty fishers operating off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California participate in one of three separate commercial fisheries, and/or in one or more of the six separate recreational fisheries for halibut.  For 2012 and beyond, the Council has recommended minor changes to the portion of the Plan covering the sport fisheries for the Washington South Coast Area, the Columbia River subarea and the Oregon Central Coast Subarea.  The changes to Washington South coast subarea include a slight modification in the opening day, the changes to the Columbia River subarea include an adjustment to the state contributions to the subarea allocation, and finally the changes to the Oregon Central Coast subarea include revisions to the allocation to the nearshore portion of this subarea and an adjustment to how quota may be moved inseason between the spring, summer, and nearshore fisheries within this subarea.  These recommended changes to the Plan are implemented through the annual regulations.  The annual regulations also include the 2012 halibut quota for the West Coast fisheries as recommended by the International Pacific Halibut Commission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>2012-2013 Specifications for the Northeast Skate Complex </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action specifies for the Northeast Skate Complex fishery an annual catch limit (ACL), annual catch target, total allowable landings, and possession limits for the 2012-2013 fishing years. It also makes minor modifications to overfishing definitions and fishery monitoring. These measures are based upon the recommendations of the New England Fishery Management Council, reflecting the best available scientific information on the status of the skate stocks. Recent increases in the biomass of winter and little skates support increases in catch limits and quotas. The ACL (50,435 mt) represents a 23-percent increase from 2010 levels (41,080 mt). The measures are largely consistent with the skate catch levels implemented by Secretarial emergency action during the 2011 fishing year. Maintaining the catch limits at these higher levels is expected to continue positive economic impacts for the fishery, while simultaneously meeting the conservation objectives of the Northeast Skate Complex Fishery Management Plan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment to Revise Fall Recreational Closed Season and Set Annual Catch Limit for Red Snapper</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The actions in this amendment revise the fixed recreational red snapper closed season of October 1 - December 31, and set the 2012 and 2013 annual catch limit (ACL) for the red snapper fishery in the Gulf of Mexico.  The previous regulations limit the ability to achieve optimum yield for the recreational sector due to restrictive season timing and fixed closure dates which limit the ability to reopen the recreational season through normal rulemaking.  This regulation gives the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) more flexibility to manage the red snapper recreational fishing season.  Providing management mechanisms with more flexibility would increase the likelihood of achieving optimum yield and, in turn, benefit the social and economic environments while reducing the burden on the administrative environment.  Results from the red snapper update assessment in 2009 and the recent update indicate that the red snapper stock is no longer undergoing overfishing and that annual catch limits can be increased.  Management measures considered in this amendment adjust the red snapper annual catch limit for 2012 and for 2013. Increases in 2013 would be contingent on the annual catch limit in 2012 not being exceeded.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Rule - Specification of a Revised Commercial Quota for Greater Amberjack in the Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit Amendment for the South Atlantic Region</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The supplemental rule amends a rule for the Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit  (ACL) Amendment, which contains Amendment 25 to the Snapper-Grouper FMP. The notice of availability for the Comprehensive ACL Amendment published on October 20, 2011 (76 FR 651153), with a comment period ending December 19, 2011.  The proposed rule for the Comprehensive ACL Amendment published on December 1, 2011 (76 FR 74757), with a comment period ending December 19, 2011.  NOAA Fisheries Service approved the Comprehensive ACL Amendment on January 18, 2012.  The final rule is currently under review and is expected to publish in March 2012. In the proposed rule that published on December 1, 2011 (76 FR 74757), the revised commercial quota for greater amberjack that was referenced in 50 CFR 622.49 (b)(11)(i)(A) was inadvertently not revised in the commercial quota section in 622.42 (e)(3).  Therefore, the subject supplemental proposed rule specifies the revised commercial quota for greater amberjack of 769,388 pounds gutted weight, as described in the Comprehensive ACL Amendment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The control date enables the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils to inform the industry that it is considering future action that may limit the accumulation of excessive control or ownership of fishing privileges, qualify landings history for an allocation-based management program, or specify eligibility criteria to participate in any referendum associated with the development of an individual fishery quota in the monkfish fishery.  It announces that any future accumulation of fishing privilege interests in the monkfish fishery may be affected, restricted, or even nullified if the Councils develop measures that would limit or revise future access to the fishery.  This notification also gives the public notice that interested participants should locate and preserve records that substantiate and verify their ownership or control of monkfish permits and other fishing privileges, as well as monkfish landings history in Federal waters.]]></ABSTRACT>

Amendment 18A contains management measures that, if approved by the Secretary of Commerce, are expected to help mitigate negative social, economic, and biological impacts of a derby fishery for black sea bass.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implement 2011 International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas Trade Recommendation and Modify Harmonized Tariff Codes </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) Recommendation 11-19, which lifts import restrictions on Atlantic bigeye tuna from Bolivia and Georgia. This rulemaking would also modify the harmonized tariff codes for highly migratory species covered under the International Trade Permit in 50 CFR 300 subpart M.  The Harmonized System is an international product nomenclature system developed by the World Customs Organization.  It is updated every five years, and the most recent update occurred in 2012, with subsequent modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States.  Thus, the tariff codes for highly migratory species must be changed accordingly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Program Correction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document contains clarifications to the final rule that implemented Amendment 88 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska; published on December 27, 2011.  This correction is intended to clarify that participants in the Entry Level Fishery may qualify for quota share (QS) under the Central Gulf of Alaska (GOA) Rockfish Program only in proportion to the number of years that a person made rockfish legal landings to an entry level processor in 2007, 2008, or 2009.  This clarification adds the phrase to an entry level processor to regulation in two instances: (1) in the language describing the distribution of rockfish QS to entry level trawl applicants, and (2) to the calculation procedure which assigns one Rockfish Landing Unit to an LLP license for each year a rockfish legal landing of any rockfish primary species was made during the season dates for the entry level trawl fishery in 2007, 2008, or 2009. This clarification is administrative in nature and does not change the distribution of rockfish QS to entry level trawl participants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Temporary Rule Through Emergency Action to Allow Harvest of Red Snapper in the South Atlantic Region in 2012 </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In a letter dated June 19, 2012, the Council requested NOAA Fisheries Service to allow harvest and possession of red snapper in 2012 through emergency regulations.  At their June 11-15, 2012, meeting, the Council reviewed new information in the form of red snapper rebuilding projections, 2012 acceptable biological catch levels, and 2012 discard mortality levels.  After accounting for the 2012 discard mortalities, the Council determined that directed harvest could be allowed without compromising the rebuilding of the stock to target levels.  The Council decided to send the request for emergency regulation by a 12 to 1 vote.   As outlined in the letter, the Councils request is centered around the following items: (1) Red snapper annual catch limit (ACL) of 13,067 fish; (2) recreational ACL of 9,399 fish; (3) commercial ACL of 3,668 fish or 20,818 pounds gutted weight; (4) for the recreational sector, three-day weekend openings of which the number of weekends would be determined by the agency and the opening dates would be subject to modification based on weather conditions; (5) for the commercial sector, seven-day mini-season increments subject to the remaining quota; (6) open the seasons as soon as possible; (7) recreational bag limit of one fish per person per day with no size limit; and (8) commercial 50-pound trip limit with no size limit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Regulations Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has conducted a review of the management plan and regulations for 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 revise the sanctuary's management plan and implementing regulations. NOAA is revising the OCNMS regulations to: Prohibit wastewater discharges from cruise ships; clarify the language referring to consideration of the objectives of the governing bodies of Indian tribes when issuing permits; correct the size of the sanctuary based on new area estimates (without revising the sanctuary's actual boundaries); update of definitions; and update information such as office location. NOAA also makes additional changes to the grammar and wording of several sections of the regulations to ensure clarity and consistency with the NMSA and other sanctuaries in the National Marine Sanctuary System.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>Changes to Streamline the Electronic Priority Document Exchange Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office proposes to amend the rules of practice to implement the Track III proposal to provide applicants with the option to request a delay in docketing the application for examination by filing a request for delay in payment of the search fee, the examination fee, the claims fees and the surcharge (if appropriate) for a maximum period not to exceed thirty months.  It also proposes that the procedure under Track III be limited to 20,000 applications per year and only be available until May 31, 2016, and an applicant be able to request in a Track III application an interview as a matter of right before the first Office action on the merits if a search report is timely filed or requested.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the Materiality to Patentability Standard for the Duty to Disclose Information in Patent Applications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) will revise the standard for materiality for the duty to disclose information to the Office in light of the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Federal Circuit) in Therasense, Inc. v. Becton, Dickinson & Co., 593 F.3d 1289 (Fed. Cir. 2011) (en banc).  This change will harmonize the standard for the duty to disclose information to the Office in patent applications and reexamination proceedings with the standard for materiality for purposes of an inequitable conduct analysis conducted by the courts.  This harmonization of the materiality standard should reduce the incentives to submit information disclosure statements containing marginally relevant information to the Office.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Implement the First Inventor to File Provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act amends the patent laws pertaining to the conditions of patentability to convert the United States patent system from a "first to invent" system to a "first inventor to file" system, treat United States patents and United States patent application publications as prior art as of their earliest effective United States, foreign, or international filing date, and eliminate the requirement that a prior public use or sale be "in this country" to be a prior art activity.  The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act also repeals the provisions pertaining to statutory invention registrations.  The current rules of practice in patent cases have a number of provisions based on the conditions of patentability of a "first to invent" patent system.  The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) will amend the rules of practice in patent cases to adapt to the changes to the conditions of patentability in the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, and to eliminate the provisions pertaining to statutory invention registrations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Implement Micro Entity Status for Paying Patent Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) proposes to amend the rules of practice in patent cases to implement the micro entity provision of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act.  Certain patent fees set or adjusted under the fee setting authority in the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act are reduced by 75 percent for micro entities.  The Office proposes changes to the rules of practice to set out the procedures pertaining to claiming micro entity status, paying patent fees as a micro entity, notification of loss of micro entity status, and correction of payments of patent fees paid erroneously in the micro entity amount.]]></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 proposes to amend the rules to provide that patentees may request paper bound copies of a patent including the cover sheet for a fee.]]></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 invites 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 applicants have 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 proposes to make permanent the pre-appeal brief conference pilot program, and to provide an additional optional procedure in which an 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 proposes 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) proposes 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 proposes to adjust the request for continued examination fee such that it more accurately reflects the Office's costs when a request for continued examination is filed in an application.  In addition, the Office proposes to revise the rules of practice to implement a procedure under which an 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 also proposes 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) revises 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 changes 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>Revision of Standard for Granting an Inter Partes Reexamination Request</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office revises its rules of practice governing inter partes reexamination to implement a transition provision of the recently enacted Leahy-Smith America Invents Act that has revised the standard for granting a request for inter partes reexamination.  The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act replaces inter partes reexamination by a new inter partes review process effective one year after the date of enactment of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, and provides that any request for inter partes reexamination filed after the enactment will not be granted unless the information presented in the request establishes that there is a reasonable likelihood that the requester will prevail with respect to at least one of the claims challenged in the request.  This rule replaces the prior standard for granting a request for inter partes reexamination that required that a substantial new question of patentability (SNQ) affecting any claim of the patent concerned be raised by the request.

The Office also revises the rules governing inter partes reexamination to reflect the termination of inter partes reexamination effective one year from the passage of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which is provided for in the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Implement the Prioritized Examination Track (Track I) of the Enhanced Examination Timing Control Procedures Under the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 4, 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) published a final rule that revised the rules of practice in patent cases to implement a procedure under which applicants may request prioritized examination at the time of filing of an application upon payment of appropriate fees and compliance with certain requirements (Track I final rule). The prioritized examination procedure is the first track (Track I) of a 3-Track examination process designed 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. The Office subsequently published a final rule on April 29, 2011, indicating that the effective date of the Track I final rule was delayed until further notice due to funding limitations. The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act includes provisions for prioritized examination that emulate the requirements of the Office's Track I final rule, with revised fee amounts for prioritized examination (including a small entity discount) and a provision that addresses the funding limitations that required a delay in the implementation of the Track I final rule. This final rule implements the prioritized examination provisions of section 11(h) of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to Implement the Preissuance Submissions by Third Parties Provision of the Leahy-Smith America Invents </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) changes the rules of patent practice to implement the preissuance submissions by third parties provision of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act.  This provision provides a mechanism for third parties to contribute to the quality of issued patents by submitting to the Office, for consideration and inclusion in the record of patent applications, any patents, published patent applications, or other printed publications of potential relevance to the examination of the applications.  A preissuance submission may be made in any non-provisional utility, design, and plant application, as well as in any continuing or reissue application.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) is amending the rules of practice in patent cases to implement the supplemental examination provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA).  The supplemental examination provisions permit a patent owner to request supplemental examination of a patent by the Office to consider, reconsider, or correct information believed to be relevant to the patent.  The Office is also adjusting the fee for filing a request for ex parte reexamination and setting a fee for petitions filed in reexamination proceedings to more accurately reflect the cost of these processes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Statute of Limitations Provisions for Office Disciplinary Proceedings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) requires that disciplinary proceedings be commenced not later than the earlier of the date that is 10 years after the date on which the misconduct forming the basis of the proceeding occurred, or one year from the date on which the misconduct forming the basis of the proceeding was made known to an officer or employee of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office or USPTO), as prescribed in the regulations governing disciplinary proceedings.  The Office initiates disciplinary proceedings via three types of disciplinary complaints:  complaints predicated on the receipt of a probable cause determination from the Committee on Discipline; complaints seeking reciprocal discipline; and complaints seeking interim suspension based on a serious crime conviction.  This notice proposes that the one-year statute of limitations commences, with respect to complaints predicated on the receipt of a probable cause determination from the Committee on Discipline, the date on which the Director, Office of Enrollment and Discipline (OED Director) receives from the practitioner a complete, written response to a request for information and evidence; with respect to complaints based on reciprocal discipline, the date on which the OED Director receives a certified copy of the record or order regarding the practitioner being publicly censured, publicly reprimanded, subjected to probation, disbarred, suspended, or disciplinarily disqualified; and, with respect to complaints for interim suspension based on a serious crime conviction, the date on which the OED Director receives a certified copy of the record, docket entry, or judgment demonstrating that the practitioner has been convicted of a serious crime.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) issues this rule to remove its regulations to implement and administer the Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Program (Coupon Program).  The regulations implemented provisions of section 3005 of the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 (the Act), as subsequently amended.  The final coupons were issued on August 12, 2009, and expired on November 9, 2009.  NTIA is removing its regulations because the Coupon Program is closed and the regulations are now obsolete.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>BE-150, Quarterly Survey of Payment Card and Bank Card Transactions Related to International Travel</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the regulations of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Department of Commerce (BEA) to add new entities that are required to report information on the BE-150, Quarterly Survey of Cross- Border Credit, Debit, and Charge Card Transactions, to change the survey title, and to collect data in greater detail. Specifically, this rule expands the covered entities to include companies that operate debit networks based on a personal identification number (PIN). PIN-based debit network companies will be required to report on cross-border transactions between U.S. cardholders traveling abroad and foreign businesses and foreign cardholders traveling in the United States and U.S. businesses. This change improves the identification of cross-border travel transactions. This rule also changes the survey title from Quarterly Survey of Cross-Border Credit, Debit, and Charge Card Transactions to Quarterly Survey of Payment Card and Bank Card Transactions Related to International Travel to reflect this change to the regulations. In addition, this rule makes certain changes to the BE-150 form to collect data in greater detail. The revised BE-150 survey will be conducted on a quarterly basis beginning with the first quarter of 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>International Services Surveys and Direct Investment Surveys Reporting</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) proposes to revise its rules to establish general guidelines for reporting on international trade in services and direct investment surveys provided for by the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act (22 U.S.C. 3101 to 3108), and the National Trade Data Bank provisions of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (15 USC 4908) (collectively, the "Acts").  Currently, surveys issued under these acts are promulgated annually through individual rulemaking actions.  However, these surveys are not rulemaking actions, but rather requests pursuant to a statute for information from the public.  Accordingly, this rule will modify the guidelines to allow such surveys to be issued through notices rather than as more formal rulemakings.  The purpose of this rule is to provide a more general framework for collection of data on these surveys that are required or authorized by the statutes.  The effect of this rule is to simplify and generalize existing regulations governing the procurement of information on international trade in services and direct investment under the Acts.]]></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 are 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>Addition of Non-Material Changes That May be Made to Export Licenses; and Addition of Non-Material Changes Requiring Prior BIS Notification and Approval</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by revising the section of the EAR that specifies what changes may be made to BIS export and reexport licenses.  First, under an existing paragraph of this section, this rule expands the scope of non-material changes that are specified under this paragraph (i.e., non-material changes exporters and reexporters may self-determine are non-material provided the changes are within the scope of specified parameters).  Second, under a new paragraph in this section, this rule adds a new sub-set of changes that may be made to an export or reexport license, provided the exporter or reexporter notifies BIS and BIS approves the change in writing as a non-material change to the export or reexport license.  Third, under another new paragraph in this section, this rule adds provisions to clarify any changes not specified in this section are treated by BIS with a presumption of being material changes to export and reexport licenses.  Lastly, this rule makes conforming changes to other parts of the EAR to conform with the revisions made to this section of the EAR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to Make the Commerce Control List (CCL) Clearer</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 9, 2010 (75 FR 76664), the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking entitled Commerce Control List: Revising Descriptions of Items and Foreign Availability as part of the Presidents Export Control Reform (ECR) Initiative.  The December 9, 2010 notice sought, among other things, public comments on how descriptions of items controlled on the Commerce Control List (CCL) could be made clearer.  This proposed rule would implement changes identified by BIS and the public that would make the CCL clearer.  Although these revisions originated with the ECR initiative, this proposed rule is entirely consistent in spirit and substance with Executive Order 13563, under which agencies are to conduct retrospective analyses of their regulations to identify and remedy any unnecessary compliance burden caused by rules that are unduly complex, outmoded, inconsistent, or overlapping.  In Executive Order 13563, the President directed each agency to review its existing significant regulations, and consider how best to promote retrospective analysis of rules that may be outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome, and to modify, streamline, expand, or repeal them in accordance with what has been learned.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule describes how articles the President determines no longer warrant control under Category I (Firearms, Close Assault Weapons, and Combat Shotguns) of the United States Munitions List (USML) would be controlled under the Commerce Control List (CCL) in new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 0A601, 0B601, 0D601, and 0E601.  In addition, this rule makes certain changes to ECCNs 0A984, 0A986, 0A987, and 2B018.  This rule also addresses license exception availability for items controlled by the five new ECCNs that would be created and for the ECCNs that would be changed.]]></ABSTRACT>

In addition, this rule would amend ECCNs 9B115, 9B116, 9D104, 9E002, 9E101, and 9E102 to make conforming changes based on both the addition of new 600 series ECCNs 9A604, 9B604, 9D604, and 9E604 to CCL Category 9, in this rule, and the amendments to the list of defense articles controlled by USML Category IV that are contained in a rule from the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, which would be published in conjunction with this rule from BIS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations: Control of Military Electronic Equipment and Related Items the President Determines No Longer Warrant Control Under the USML</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule describes how articles the President determines no longer warrant control under Category XI (Military Electronics) of the United States Munitions List (USML) would be controlled on the Commerce Control List (CCL).  These articles would be controlled under four new ECCNs -- 3A611, 3B611, 3D611, and 3E611.  The rule also describes how certain cryogenic and superconductive equipment that the President determines no longer warrant control under several categories of the USML would be controlled on to the CCL under four new ECCNs -- 3A620, 3B620, 3D620, and 3E620.  This rule also describes how certain radar and laser altimeters and related software and technology would be controlled under ECCNs 7A106, 7D106 and 7E106.  This rule is one in a planned series of proposed rules describing how various types of articles the President determines, as part of the Administration's Export Control Reform Initiative, no longer warrant USML control, would be controlled on the CCL and by the EAR.  This rule is being published in conjunction with a rule from the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, which would amend the list of articles controlled by USML Category XI.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification of the Definition of a Routed Export Transaction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule clarifies the parties' responsibilities under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) in a 'routed export transaction.'  It also details when and how a U.S. principle party in interest (USPPI) may delegate its responsibilities to determine license requirements and apply for a license to the foreign principal party in interest (FPPI).  Additionally, it clarifies the parties' responsibilities under the EAR in a 'routed export transaction' when the USPPI maintains its responsibility for license requirements determination and licensing.  These changes will resolve perceived difference with the definition of 'routed export transactions' in the Census Bureau's Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR), will decrease exporter confusion when determining whether to classify their transaction as a 'routed export transaction' and clarify what the respective rights and responsibilities of each party are under the EAR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to the Export Administration Regulations: Control of Protective Personnel Equipment and Related Items the President Determines No Longer Warrant Control Under the USML</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule describes how articles the President determines no longer warrant control under Category X (Protective Personnel Equipment and Shelters) of the United States Munitions List (USML) would be controlled under the Commerce Control List (CCL) in new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 1A613, 1B613, 1D613, and 1E613.  In conjunction with establishment of these new ECCNs, this rule would control military helmets (currently controlled under ECCNs 0A018 and 0A988) and body armor (currently controlled under ECCN 1A005) under new ECCN 1A613.  This rule also would remove machetes from ECCN 0A988.This rule is one in a planned series of rules describing how various types of articles the President determines, as part of the Administration's Export Control Reform Initiative, no longer warrant USML control, would be controlled on the CCL and by the EAR.  This rule is being published in conjunction with a rule of the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, which would amend the list of articles controlled by USML Category X.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations: Implementation of Export Control Reform; Retrospective Regulatory Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Department of Commerce, is currently engaged in the Export Control Reform Initiative (ECR), which will fundamentally reform the U.S. export control system.  This effort would control under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) items that are determined by the President to no longer warrant control under the Department of State's International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), once congressional notification requirements and corresponding amendments to the ITAR and the EAR are completed.  The Departments of Commerce and State have published and plan to publish numerous rules changing the jurisdictional status of specific items.  This rule addresses issues faced by Government and industry in the transition period during which this reform will be implemented and complements the Export Control Transition Plan, a proposed policy statement and request for comments issued by the Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. On January 18, 2011, President Barack Obama issued Executive Order 13563, affirming general principles of regulation and directing government agencies to conduct retrospective reviews of existing regulations.  Although the Export Control Reform Initiative did not originate with Executive Order 13563, it is entirely consistent in spirit and substance.  Among other things, the President emphasized that regulations must be accessible and easy to understand. This rule proposes revisions to license exceptions for Government uses and temporary exports that streamline and update unduly complex or outmoded provisions in addition to broadening certain provisions to implement Export Control Reform.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to make items subject to the EAR and to impose on those items a license requirement for export and reexport to all destinations, except Canada.  Specifically, this rule classifies specified Biosensor Systems, Collective Protection Systems, Short-Wave and Mid-Wave Infrared Camera Lens, Single Element Photomultiplier, Transistors, and Underwater Acoustic Sensors under Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 0A521 on the Commerce Control List (CCL).  The commodities are controlled for regional stability (RS) Column 1 reasons.  The only license exception available for these commodities is License Exception GOV.
  
BIS established the ECCN 0Y521 series in a final rule published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2012 (77 FR 22191) to be used for items that warrant control on the CCL but are not yet identified in an existing ECCN.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Certain Persons to the Entity List </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding ten persons to the Entity List and revising one existing entry.  The persons who are added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.  These persons will be listed on the Entity List under two destinations.  The ten entries added to the Entity List consist of two entries in Pakistan and eight entries in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).  This rule is also revising one existing entry in the U.A.E. to clarify the scope of the entry by providing an additional alias and alternate address for this listed person.  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 (BIS) and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions is limited.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Feasibility of Enumerating &quot;Specially Designed&quot; Components</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the Presidents Export Control Reform (ECR) Initiative, this Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) requests comments on the feasibility of positively identifying specially designed components on the Commerce Control List (CCL) so as to decrease the use of the term, which appears extensively throughout the CCL, and thereby facilitate enhanced public compliance with the Export Administration Regulations.  Specifically, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is evaluating whether it is feasible to create exhaustive lists of the specially designed components referred to in certain Export Control Classification Numbers on the CCL that currently use specially designed catch-all paragraphs, and seeks public input to assist in this evaluation.  If BIS ultimately determines that such lists might be beneficial, it intends to submit these findings to the appropriate multilateral export control regimes in the normal course of list proposal changes.  The request for comments in this ANPR is part of Commerce's retrospective plan under EO 13563 completed in August 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Certain Persons on the Entity List: Addition of Persons Acting Contrary to the National Security or Foreign Policy Interests of the United States</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding persons to the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744) on the basis of Section 744.11 of the EAR.  The persons who are added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.

The Entity List provides notice to the public that certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to parties identified on the Entity List require a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions is limited.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR): Control of Items the President Determines No Longer Warrant Control Under the United States Munitions List (USML)</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 (ANPR) 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 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule imposes a license requirement on exports and reexports to all destinations other than Canada of two types of microwave and millimeter wave electronic components.  The two components are packaged high electron mobility transistors and packaged microwave monolithic integrated circuits power amplifiers.  BIS is taking this step to control exports and reexports of these components, which have uses in military radar systems, in anticipation of a planned United States Government proposal to expand the Dual-Use List published by the Wassenaar Arrangement to cover fully these components.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Certain Persons on the Entity List; and Implementation of Entity List Annual Review Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding sixteen persons under twenty-three entries to the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to part 744) on the basis of section 744.11 of the EAR.  The persons who are added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.

In addition, this rule amends the EAR to implement modifications to the Entity List on the basis of the annual review of the Entity List conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC), which the ERC conducts to determine if any entities on the Entity List should be removed or modified.  This rule implements the results of the annual review for entities located in Canada.

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>Updated Statements of Legal Authority for the Export Administration Regulations to Reflect Extension of Emergency First Declared under 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.  That emergency has been continued in effect through successive annual presidential notices.  The authority for parts 730, 734, 736, 742, 744 and 745 of the EAR (15 CFR parts 730, 734, 736, 742, 744 and 745) rests in part on EO 12938, as amended, and on the successive annual notices continuing the emergency.  The authority conveyed by the most recent such notice, notice of November 4, 2010, 75 FR 68673 (November 8, 2010), will expire in November.  A notice extending such authority for another year has been submitted to the President and BIS expects that he will sign it.  This rule will update the authority citation paragraphs of the affected parts of the EAR to include the citation to that new notice once it is published in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

In addition, this rule amends the CCL entries in the EAR that control chemical manufacturing facilities and equipment, and equipment capable of use in handling biological materials to reflect the June 2011 AG plenary changes to the "Control List of Dual-Use Chemical Manufacturing Facilities and Equipment and Related Technology and Software" and the "Control List of Dual-Use Biological Equipment and Related Technology and Software," respectively.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Persons to the Entity List; and Implementation of Entity List Annual Review Changes </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding two persons to the Entity List.  The persons who are added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.  These persons will be listed on the Entity List under the following destination: United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).

This rule also amends the Entity List on the basis of the annual review of the Entity List conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC) for entities located in Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan.  The ERC conducts the annual review to determine if any entities on the Entity List should be removed or modified.  This rule removes two persons located in Singapore and two persons located in Taiwan on the basis of the annual review, along with revising one person located in Malaysia to add an alternate address.

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>Wassenaar Arrangement 2011 Plenary Agreements Implementation: Commerce Control List, Definitions, New Participating State (Mexico) and Reports</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains, as part of the agency's Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Commerce Control List (CCL), which identifies items subject to Department of Commerce export controls.  This rule revises the CCL 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 2011 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 the CCL with the changes made to the Wassenaar List at the Plenary, this rule amends entries on the CCL that are controlled for national security reasons in Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 parts I & II, 6, 7, 8, and 9, revises reporting requirements, and adds, removes and amends definitions in the EAR. This rule raises the Adjusted Peak Performance (APP) parameter for high performance computers.  This rule also raises the APP eligibility level for deemed exports in License Exception APP.  This rule also revises CCL and definitions of terms used in the EAR to implement the agreements of the WA to the WA List that pertain to low light level (LLL) items that were agreed upon in December 2007 through 2011 at the Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Meetings.  Mexico is added as the 41st Participating State in the list of WA members in the EAR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Certain Persons to the Entity List; and Implementation of Entity List Annual Review Changes </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding two persons to the Entity List.  The persons who are added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.  These persons will be listed on the Entity List under the country of France.   

This rule also amends the Entity List on the basis of the annual review of the Entity List conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC).  The ERC conducts the annual review to determine if any entries on the Entity List should be removed or modified.  This rule implements the results of the annual review of persons listed under Armenia, Germany, Iran, Lebanon, South Korea, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).  On the basis of the annual review of the Entity List, this rule removes two entities from the Entity List, including removing a third entity to consolidate that entity with an existing entity as an additional alias; amends seventeen entries currently on the Entity List to provide alternate addresses and/or aliases; and lastly adds four persons to the Entity List on the basis of the annual review and section 744.11 of the EAR. 

The ERC has also completed the annual review of the Entity List for the following eight countries:  Belarus, Egypt, Ireland, Israel, Kuwait, Norway, Russia, and the United Kingdom (U.K.), but no changes are being made to the Entity List for these countries as a result of their respective annual reviews.  

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 (BIS) and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions is limited.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the Presidents Export Control Reform (ECR) Initiative, this rule, and a separate rule from the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, being published in conjunction with this document, sets forth, as much as possible, a common definition of the term specially designed for use in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).  The term specially designed is used widely in the Commerce Control List (CCL) and would play an important role in the 600 series that the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has proposed to create to control less sensitive defense articles transferred from the United States Munitions List (USML) to the Commerce Control List (CCL). The revisions in this rule are part of Commerce's retrospective plan under EO 13563 completed in August 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Certain Persons to the Entity List; Removal of Person from the Entity List Based on Removal Request; and Implementation of Entity List Annual Review Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding six persons under eight entries to the Entity List.  The persons who are added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.  These persons will be listed on the Entity List under Iran and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).  In addition, this rule removes one person from the Entity List, as the result of a request for removal submitted by the person, a review of information provided in the removal request in accordance with the EAR, and further review conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC). Lastly, this rule amends the Entity List on the basis of the annual review conducted by the ERC.  The ERC conducts annual reviews to determine if any entries on the Entity List should be removed or modified.  This rule reflects the results of the annual review of entities located in Belarus, Canada, the Peoples Republic of China (China), Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.  On the basis of the annual review, this rule removes fourteen entries, adds three entries, and amends thirty-six other entries.  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 (BIS) and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions is limited.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Permit Application Procedures for Archaeological Research and Enforcement Procedures of the Sunken Military Craft Act on Sunken Military Craft Under the Jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule serves as a revision of the current 32 C.F.R. part 767 and incorporates existing regulations together with the expanded authority provided to the Secretary of the Navy by the Sunken Military Craft Act (SMCA) (Pub. L. 108-375, 10 U.S.C. 113 Note and 118 Stat. 2094-2098) in regards to permitting intrusive activities on sunken military craft. The proposed rule replaces the current regulations and establishes a single permitting process for members of the public wishing to engage in intrusive and authorized activities on Department of Navy sunken and terrestrial military craft.  The rule also incorporates provisions for a special-use permit to be issued in the case of minimally intrusive operations such as sample collection or remotely-operated vehicle documentation of historic sites. The final major provision of the rule affects violations of the SMCA or of the permitting program and outlines penalties and enforcement procedures. The proposed revision to the rule substantiates existing legislation and stated public policy and does not carry a significant burden of cost to the public.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Navy (DoN) is revising its Rules of Professional Conduct and procedures for receiving, processing, and taking action on complaints of professional misconduct made against attorneys practicing under the supervision of the Judge Advocate General of the Navy (JAG), whether arising from professional legal activities in DoN proceedings and matters, or arising from other, non-U.S. Government related professional legal activities or personal misconduct that suggests the attorney is ethically, professionally, or morally unqualified to perform legal services within the DoN; to prescribe limitations on and procedures for processing requests to engage in the outside practice of law by those DoN attorneys practicing under the supervision of the JAG; and to ensure quality legal services at all proceedings under the cognizance and supervision of the JAG.  The revision comports with current policy reflected in JAG Instruction 5803.1 (Series), Professional Conduct of Attorneys Practicing Under the Cognizance and Supervision of the Judge Advocate General.

        <RULE_TITLE>Professional Conduct of Attorneys Practicing Under the Cognizance and Supervision of the Judge Advocate General</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Navy is amending its rules to update existing sections relating to the professional conduct of attorneys practicing under the cognizance and supervision of the Judge Advocate General (JAG) for clients with diminished capacity. The rule allows a covered attorney to take preventative action when the attorney reasonably believes that a client has diminished capacity and is at risk of substantial physical harm to himself or herself unless immediate action is taken. 
 
Since publishing this interim final rule, the Department of the Navy has decided to revise the entire CFR part. That rulemaking will be pursued under RIN 0703-AA92. The finalization of that rule will also finalize the changes made in the interim final rule. 

The revisions to this rule will be reported in future status updates as part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. DoD's full plan can be accessed at: http://exchange.regulations.gov/exchange/topic/eo-13563.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nationwide Permit Program Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Corps proposed to revise its Nationwide Permit Program regulations at 33 CFR part 330 to address changes in regulatory procedures and policy that have occurred since those regulations were last revised in 1991.  The Corps proposed to revise the regulation to increase the pre-construction notification review period to 45 days, to be consistent with the current nationwide permits.  The Corps also proposed to amend the regulation to allow district engineers to issue verification letters that can have the same expiration date as the nationwide permit.
The revisions to this rule are part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. DoD's full plan can be accessed at: http://exchange.regulations.gov/exchange/topic/eo-13563.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Uniform Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Benefit--Prime Enrollment Fee Exemption</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would establish an exception to the usual rule that TRICARE Prime enrollment fees are uniform for the group of retirees and their dependents.  Survivors and medically retired members are part of the retiree group under TRICARE rules.  This exception would allow Survivors of Active Duty Deceased Sponsors and Medically Retired Uniformed Services Members and their Dependents enrolled in Prime to be exempt from future increases in TRICARE Prime enrollment fees.  The Prime beneficiaries in these categories prior to 10/1/2011 would have their annual enrollment fee frozen at the current rate of $230 per single and $460 per family.  The beneficiaries added to these categories on or after 10/1/2011 would have their fee frozen at the rate in effect at the time they are classified in either category and enroll in Prime or, if not enrolling, at the rate in effect at the time of enrollment. The fee remains frozen as long as at least one family member remains enrolled in Prime and there is not a break in enrollment. The fee charged for the dependent(s) of a Medically Retired Uniformed Services Member would not change if the dependent(s) was later re-classified a Survivor.]]></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; Reimbursement for Travel for Specialty Care Under Exceptional Circumstances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule implements section 634 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 which amends section 1074i of title 10, United States Code to permit reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses for active duty members of the uniformed Services and their dependents, and accompaniment, to a specialty care provider under such exceptional circumstances as the Secretary of Defense may proscribe.  The Department of Defense through its military treatment facilities and its robust managed care program, TRICARE Prime, is able to fulfill the medical needs of the majority of its active duty members and their families.  However, in some locations where active duty members and their families live due to the duty assignment of the member, the medical resources in the military treatment facilities and the managed care networks may not meet all of the specialty care needs of these members and their families within normal access standards.  Reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses for required specialty care that is more than 100 miles from the primary care manager's office is currently a benefit under paragraph (a) of section 1074i, title 10 United States Code for any covered beneficiary enrolled in the TRICARE Prime program, including the active duty members and their dependents.  However this proposed rule extends a travel reimbursement for active duty members of the armed forces and their families who, because of an exceptional circumstance involving the duty assignment of the active duty member of the armed forces, are required to travel less than 100 miles but more than 60 minutes in drive time to access needed specialty care.  This travel reimbursement benefit is limited to those active duty members and their dependents, and accompaniment, enrolled in Prime or TRICARE Prime Remote.  The Director, TRICARE Management Activity,  shall issue procedures and guidelines under which authorization for reimbursement of travel expenses will be issued after verification that the member, family member, and/or  accompaniment, must travel less than 100  miles but more than 60 minutes drive time from the military treatment facility or their primary care manager's office to receive required specialty care.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Elimination of the Non-Availability Statement (NAS) Requirement for Non-Emergency Inpatient Mental Health Care </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under TRICARE Prime (as provided in 32 CFR, sec. 199.17), the military medical treatment facility (MTF) has the right of first refusal for specialty services requested by a civilian provider, if the services are available at the MTF.  If a TRICARE Prime beneficiary living near a MTF is referred for specialty care by a civilian provider and the service is available at the MTF, the MTF may decide to provide the care.  If services are refused by the MTF, the referral will be allowed with a network provider.  As a result, the issuance of NAS(s) has been eliminated and are only required for non-enrolled beneficiaries who live within the MTF catchment area for non-emergency inpatient mental health care.  Currently, the number of NASs issued is negligible as most mental health admissions are emergency admissions. Requiring a NAS for a relative few non-emergency inpatient mental health admissions is disproportionate to the cost of maintaining the systems necessary to process and coordinate the NAS. This proposed rule eliminates the requirement for a NAS for non-emergency inpatient mental health care in order for the TRICARE Standard beneficiary's claim to be paid.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Extended Care Health Option</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Defense (DoD) is publishing this proposed rule to establish TRICARE coverage under the Extended Care Health Option (ECHO) of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). To increase access to ABA services for ECHO-registered dependents who are diagnosed with an ASD, DoD is promulgating this rule to adopt a provider model under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 1079(e) and to establish the requirements for ABA providers and reimbursement for ABA services.

This rule also proposes to establish that certain individual professional providers, specifically, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, certified psychiatric nurse specialists, and clinical social workers, and other individuals who maintain current certification by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) or comparable certifying entity as may be approved by the Director, TMA, and, who maintain a current Participation Agreement with the Director, TMA, are eligible to be applied behavior analysis authorized providers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE; Removal of the Prohibition to Use Addictive Drugs in the Maintenance Treatment of Substance Dependence in TRICARE Beneficiaries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes revisions to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) title 32 section 199.4(e) to remove the exclusion of drug abuse maintenance programs and allow as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for an individual with substance dependence, the substitution of a therapeutic drug with addictive potential for a drug of addiction (e.g. the substitution of methadone for heroin).   The current regulation prohibits drug maintenance programs where one addictive substance is substituted for another.  However, this prohibition of maintenance treatment of substance dependence utilizing a specific category of psychoactive agent is outdated and fails to recognize the accumulated medical evidence supporting certain maintenance programs as one component of the continuum of care necessary for the effective treatment of substance dependence. Current medical evidence shows that this is medically or psychologically necessary and integral to the safe and effective treatment of drug abuse as is generally required for all treatment benefits under 32 CFR 199.4(g)(15) for inclusion in the TRICARE benefit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule is submitted as an interim final rule (IFR) in order to meet the Congressional requirement set forth in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, section 724, which required the Department of Defense to prescribe regulations by June 20, 2011, to establish the criteria, as had previously been studied in accordance with section 717 of the NDAA 2008,  that would allow licensed or certified mental health counselors to be able to independently provide care to TRICARE beneficiaries and receive payment for those services.  Under current TRICARE requirements, mental health counselors (MHCs) are authorized to practice only with physician referral and supervision.  This interim final rule establishes a transition period to phase out the requirement for physician referral and supervision for MHCs and to create a new category of allied health professionals, to be known as certified mental health counselors (CMHCs), who will be authorized to practice independently under TRICARE.]]></ABSTRACT>

Specifically, the rule will:  conform the regulation to the statute regarding point-of-service availability of non-formulary drugs; clarify the process for formulary placement of newly approved drugs; streamline the process for updating copayment requirements; specify the method for applying the statutory formula for maximum non-formulary drug copayments; and clarify several other uniform formulary practices.  This rule is separate from, but not inconsistent with, the legislative proposal made by the Department to implement portions of the President's Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 relating to the TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits Program.]]></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; 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; Constructive Eligibility for TRICARE Benefits of Certain Persons Otherwise Ineligible Under Retroactive Determination of Entitlement to Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements section 706 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2010, Public Law 111-84.  Specifically, section 706 exempts TRICARE beneficiaries under the age of 65 who become disabled from the requirement to enroll in Medicare Part B for the retroactive months of entitlement to Medicare Part A in order to maintain TRICARE coverage.  This statutory amendment and rule only impact eligibility for the period in which the beneficiary's disability determination is pending before the Social Security Administration.  Eligible beneficiaries will still be required to enroll in Medicare Part B in order to maintain their TRICARE coverage for future months, but will be considered to have coverage under the TRICARE program for the months retroactive to their entitlement to Medicare Part A.  This rule also amends the eligibility section of the TRICARE regulation to more clearly address reinstatement of TRICARE eligibility following a gap in coverage due to lack of enrollment in Medicare Part B.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safeguarding Unclassified DoD Information (DFARS Case 2011-D039)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend 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 (ANPRM) and notice of public meeting in the Federal Register at 75 FR 9563 on March 3, 2010, to provide the public an opportunity for input into the initial rulemaking process.  The ANPRM 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 invited comments from small business concerns and other interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Unallowable Fringe Benefit Costs (DFARS Case 2012-D038)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is proposing to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to explicitly state that fringe benefit costs incurred or estimated that are contrary to law, employer-employee agreement, or an established policy of the contractor are unallowable. The proposed rule amends the DFARS at 231.205-6 by adding paragraph (m)(1) to explicitly state that fringe benefit costs incurred or estimated that are contrary to law, employer-employee agreement, or an established policy of the contractor are unallowable.  DoD does not expect this proposed rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because this rule merely provides explicit clarification regarding the unallowability of fringe benefit costs incurred or estimated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Acquisitions in Support of Operations in Iraq or Afghanistan (DFARS Case 2012-D046)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to further address procedures and clauses for acquisitions in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.  DoD proposes to revise DFARS subpart 225.77, Acquisitions in Support of Operations in Iraq or Afghanistan.  This subpart further implements section 886 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Pub. L. 110-181), which provided authority for DoD to provide a preference or limit competition when acquiring products or services in support of military operations or stability operations in Iraq or Afghanistan (including security, transition, reconstruction, and humanitarian relief activities) under certain circumstances.  The primary focus of this proposed rule is the treatment of construction material under construction contracts in support of operations in Iraq or Afghanistan.  DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because application of the rule is limited to acquisitions in support of operations in Iraq or Afghanistan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to outline the contracting officer's responsibilities when assisting the DoD implementing agency in the preparation of the letter of offer and acceptance for a foreign military sale (FMS) that results in a contract. Letters of offer and acceptance are used by the U.S. Government to document FMS agreements. DoD proposes to amend DFARS 225.7302 to revise and move the text at DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Instruction (PGI) 225.7302(1) into the DFARS. This action is necessary because the directions to the contracting officer at PGI 225.7302(1) may have impact on prospective contractors, and therefore require relocation to the DFARS. DoD does not expect the rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is proposing to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide guidance to contractors submitting a proposal to negotiate forward pricing rates.

The proposed amendment to DFARS 215.403-5 adds instructions to contracting officers to request contractors to submit the proposed Contractor Forward Pricing Rate Proposal Adequacy Checklist at table 215.403XX with forward pricing rate proposals. DoD does not expect this proposed rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (DFARS Case 2009-D002)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is adopting, without change, the interim rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) regarding DoD contractors' use of the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS). The eSRS is used by DoD contractors for submission of small business subcontracting reports to the Government. The 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. This rule reflects the use of eSRS, rather than the Standard Form 294 (Subcontract Report for Individual Contracts) and Standard Form 295 (Summary Subcontract Report).  Small businesses are not required to have subcontracting plans. Therefore, they are not required to use eSRS to submit reports on their progress in achieving the goals in those plans.  DoD anticipates minimal economic impact to small businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Government Support Contractor Access to Technical Data (DFARS Case 2009-D031)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 821 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. Section 821 authorizes certain types of Government support contractors to have access to proprietary technical data belonging to prime contractors and other third parties, provided that the owner of the technical data may require the support contractor to sign a non-disclosure agreement.  These nondisclosure agreements, having certain restrictions and legal or equitable remedies, protect the owner of the technical data against disclosure of confidential information. Additionally, this rule implements a third statutory exception to the prohibition on release of privately developed data outside the Government. This new statutory exception allows 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. The impact of this rule on small business is not expected to be significant because the non-disclosure agreement is not likely to have a significant cost or administrative impact.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deletion of Text Implementing 10 U.S.C. 2323 (DFARS Case 2011-D038) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS)to remove language based on 10 U.S.C. 2323. 10 U.S.C. 2323 expired on September 30, 2009; therefore, the DFARS language that implemented this statute must be removed.  DoD does not expect this interim rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it does not change the fundamental procurement policies that DoD has used to achieve strong SDB participation or to encourage the involvement of HBCUs and MSIs in defense-related research, development, testing, and evaluation activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to revise the definition of "cost or pricing data." The DFARS changes are necessary to ensure consistency with the definition of "cost or pricing data" in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The rule does not change the existing rights of the contracting officer to obtain cost data or pricing data. Instead, this rule will benefit all entities, both large and small, by clarifying when to submit "certified cost or pricing data" and "data other than certified cost or pricing data." No impact on contractors or offerors is anticipated because the rule merely aligns the DFARS with the FAR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance-Based Payments (DFARS Case 2011-D045)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide detailed guidance and instructions on the use of the Performance Based Payments (PBP) Analysis Tool. The PBP analysis tool is a cash-flow model for evaluating alternative financing arrangements, and is required to be used by all contracting officers contemplating the use of PBPs on new fixed-price type contract awards resulting from solicitations issued on or after July 1, 2011. This rule will help ensure that performance-based payments never exceed total cost incurred at any point during the contract. The PBP analysis tool calculates improved financing opportunities that will provide benefit to both industry (prime and subcontractor level) and the taxpayer. No significant impact on small entities is anticipated because requiring use of the PBP tool does not require contractors to expend significant effort or cost.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alleged Crimes by or Against Contractor Personnel (DFARS Case 2012-D006)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to expand coverage relating to alleged crimes by or against contractor personnel. The alleged crimes are offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) (chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code) or the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA) (chapter 212 of title 18, United States Code). DoD is expanding the applicability of these requirements to any contract that authorizes contractor personnel to accompany U.S. Armed Forces deployed outside the United States in (1) contingency operations; (2) humanitarian or peacekeeping operations; or (3) other military operations or military exercises, when designated by the combatant commander. These requirements only apply to DoD contracts performed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The two key requirements being proposed are for the contractor to (a) report any alleged offenses against the UCMJ and the MEJA to appropriate investigative authorities and (b) give contractor personnel who work in covered areas information on how and where to report an alleged UCMJ or MEJA offense. DoD does not anticipate significant economic impact on small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses for Acquisitions of Commercial Items (DFARS Case 2011-D056)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to simplify prescriptions for provisions and clauses that are applicable to the acquisition of commercial items and to specify flowdown of clauses to commercial subcontracts. This rule will enable the use of automated contract writing systems and reduce the need for constant updates of clause dates in multiple locations of the DFARS.  Currently, the clause at DFARS 252.212-7001 requires the contracting officer to "check a box" to identify the clauses that are applicable to each commercial item acquisition, and this approach is not compatible with most automated contract writing systems. Additionally, this rule will provide a single list of provisions and clauses applicable to commercial items that will be included at DFARS 212.301(f) rather than being incorporated into a clause. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on small business because the rule aims to only change the appearance of how commercial provisions and clauses are presented within DoD contracts for commercial items.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Item Unique Identifier Update (DFARS Case 2011-D055)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to update and clarify requirements of unique identification and valuation of items delivered under DoD contracts.  The rule revises the applicable prescription and contract clause at DFARS 252.211-7003 to reflect the current identification and valuation requirements. Item unique identification and valuation is a system of marking, valuing, and tracking items delivered to DoD that enhances logistics, contracting, and financial business transactions supporting the U.S. and coalition troops. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the changes being made do not increase the burden of the item unique identification requirements, nor do they cause the requirement to be applicable to any additional small businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>United States--Korea Free Trade Agreement (DFARS Case 2012-D025)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) part 225 and the corresponding provisions and clauses in DFARS part 252 to implement the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA) (the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L. 112-41) (19 U.S.C. 3805 note)). The U.S.-Korea FTA strengthens and develops economic relations between the U.S. and Korea for their mutual benefit and establishes free trade between the U.S. and Korea through the reduction of and elimination of barriers to trade in goods and services.  The Republic of Korea is already party to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement (WTO GPA). By implementation of this Korea FTA, eligible goods and services from Korea are now covered when valued at or above $100,000, rather than at or above the WTO GPA threshold of $202,000. Although the rule now opens up Government procurement to the goods and services of Korea at or above the threshold of $100,000, DoD does not anticipate any significant economic impact on U.S. small businesses. The Department of Defense only applies the trade agreements to the non-defense items listed at DFARS 225.401-70, and acquisitions that are set aside or provide other forms of preference for small businesses are exempt.  FAR 19.502-2 states that acquisitions that do not exceed $150,000 (except as described in paragraph (1) of the definition of "simplified acquisition threshold" at FAR 2.101) are automatically reserved exclusively for small business concerns, unless the contracting officer determines that there is not a reasonable expectation of obtaining offers from two or more responsible small business concerns.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty With the United Kingdom (DFARS Case 2012-D034)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement requirements of the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty with the United Kingdom (the Treaty) and the Security Cooperation Act of 2010 regarding export control regulations between the United States and the United Kingdom.  The rule streamlines the export control regulations between the United States and the United Kingdom under specified circumstances. Under the Treaty, instead of a U.S. exporter preparing and requesting U.S. Department of State approval of an export license or Technical Assistance Agreement for a project, which would normally take around 45-60 days, the exporter will check the Department of State web site or other appropriate reference and verify that (1) the U.K. industry partner is on the list of approved companies/facilities (i.e., a member of the Approved Community),(2)the project is on the list of approved projects and items are for U.S. Government end use, and (3) the technology is not on the excluded list.  Once verified, the U.S. exporter and the U.K. partner may cooperate freely without export licenses.  An exporter using the Treaty also must comply with requirements in the Treaty and the Implementing Arrangement, and 22 CFR 110 (United Kingdom).  These requirements include marking and record-keeping to ensure that export-controlled items are recognized as such and treated accordingly. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the rule does not impose burdens on small businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Free Trade Agreement With Colombia DFARS Case 2012-D032)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement(DFARS) to implement the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement. This Trade Promotion Agreement is a free trade agreement that provides for mutually non-discriminatory treatment of eligible products and services from Colombia. The rule adds Colombia to the definition of "Free Trade Agreement country" in multiple locations in the DFARS. The rule amends DFARS part 225 and the corresponding provisions and clauses in part 252. There are also conforming changes to the clause at DFARS 252.212-7001, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders Applicable to Defense Acquisitions of Commercial Items. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Although the rule now opens up Government procurement to the goods and services of Colombia at or above the threshold of $100,000, DoD does not anticipate any significant economic impact on U.S. small businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Acquisition of Tents and Other Temporary Structures (DFARS Case 2012-D015)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS) to implement sections 368 and 821 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Pub. L. 112-81) that address the acquisition of tents and other temporary structures. The rule amends DFARS subpart 225.70 and the associated DFARS clauses at 252.225-7002 and 252.225-7012. The rule provides a definition of "structural component of a tent" and also provides examples of the type of temporary structures covered by this regulation. The objectives of this rule are to (1) require that contracts for the acquisition of tents and other temporary structures provide best value, regardless of whether purchased by DoD or by another agency on behalf of DoD; and (2) extend the domestic source restriction of 10 U.S.C. 2533a (the Berry Amendment) to cover the structural components of tents, in order to promote the use of domestic materials and enhance growth of the United States economy.  DoD does not expect this interim rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to revise the definition of "produce" as it applies to specialty metals.  The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 directed DoD to review the definition of "produce" to ensure its compliance with 10 USC 2533b and to determine if a revision to the current rule was necessary and appropriate. The rule affects primarily producers of specialty metal steel armor plate, and manufacturers that supply steel armor plate that will be incorporated into end items to be acquired by DoD.  Producers of specialty metals are generally large businesses. Accordingly, DoD does not expect this rule to have significant economic impact on small business concerns.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Free Trade Agreement--Panama (DFARS Case 2012-D044)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is issuing an interim rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) part 252 to implement the United States-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L. 112-43)(19 U.S.C. 3805 note).  This Trade Promotion Agreement is a free trade agreement that provides for mutually non-discriminatory treatment of eligible products and services from Panama. The Panama FTA covers acquisitions of supplies and services equal to or exceeding $202,000.  The FTA provides for (1) waiver of the applicability of the Buy American statute (41 U.S.C. chapter 83) for some foreign supplies and construction materials from Panama; and (2) applicability of specified procurement procedures designed to ensure fairness in the acquisition of supplies and services (see FAR 25.408).  DoD does not anticipate any significant economic impact on U.S. small businesses.  The Department of Defense only applies the trade agreements to the non-defense items listed at DFARS 225.401-70, and acquisitions that are set aside or provide other forms of preference for small businesses are exempt.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification of &quot;F&quot; Orders in the Procurement Instrument Identification Number Structure (DFARS Case 2012-D040)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) at 204.7003 and 204.7004 to eliminate the requirement to use an "F" in the 9th position of the procurement instrument identification number (PIIN) to identify awards to certain vendors, including AbilityOne and Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR), and to other Government organizations. The 9th position of the PIIN, or contract number, is used to identify the type of instrument.  Awards to certain vendors, including AbilityOne and UNICOR, were being tracked by the letter in the 9th position of the PIIN.  These vendors are uniquely identified today by their DUNS number and/or CAGE code. Therefore, there is no longer any need for DoD to uniquely identify contract actions with these vendors by way of the PIIN. This rule does not impact small entities as it only impacts the internal operating procedures of the Government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Qualifying Country--Poland (DFARS Case 2012-D049)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to add the Republic of Poland as a qualifying country.  On August 27, 2011, the U.S. Secretary of Defense signed a new reciprocal defense procurement agreement with the Polish Minister of National Defense.  This agreement was placed into force on July 19, 2012.  The agreement removes discriminatory barriers to procurements of supplies and services produced by industrial enterprises of the other country to the extent mutually beneficial and consistent with national laws, regulations, policies, and international obligations.  The agreement does not cover construction or construction material.  Poland is already a designated country under the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement.  Publication of this final rule for public comment is not required by statute (41 U.S.C. 1707) because it does not have a significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of DoD, and will not have a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors.  This rule merely adds Poland to the list of 22 other countries that have similar reciprocal defense procurement agreements with DoD.  The Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply to this rule because this final rule does not constitute a significant DFARS revision within the meaning of FAR 1.501-1 and 41 U.S.C. 1707 does not require publication for public comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Business Systems--Definition and Administration (DFARS Case 2009-D038)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD has adopted as final, with changes, an interim rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to improve the effectiveness of DoD oversight of contractor business systems.  Section 893 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 established statutory requirements for the improvement of contractor business systems to ensure that such systems provide timely, reliable information for the management of DoD programs.  In accordance with section 893, DoD issued a rule to improve the effectiveness of DCMA/DCAA oversight and clarify the definition and administration of contractor business systems.

The rule addressed comments received under the interim rule for this case, as well as statutory requirements of section 893 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011.  DoD published an interim rule with request for comments on May 18, 2011 (76 FR 28856).  

The rule applies to solicitations and contracts that are subject to the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) under 41 U.S.C. chapter 15, as implemented in regulations found at 48 CFR 9903.201-1 (see the FAR Appendix). Since contracts and subcontracts with small businesses are exempt from CAS requirements, DoD estimates that this rule will have no impact on small businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Notification Requirements for Awards of Single-Source Task or Delivery Orders (DFARS Case 2009-D036)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implemented section 814 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 which required 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 order contracts 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 contract concerns intelligence activities of DoD. The rule solely impacted 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reporting of Government-Furnished Property (DFARS Case 2012-D001)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS)to revise and standardize reporting requirements for Government-furnished property to include items uniquely and non-uniquely identified. The objective of the rule is to improve the accountability and control of DoD assets.  The revisions modify and standardize contractor Government property reporting requirements.  This rule alters the requirements of the current clause, which requires Defense contractors to report (primarily) Government-furnished equipment items valued at $5,000 or more, to a new requirement to report all serially managed Government-furnished property regardless of unit acquisition cost.  The clause at 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. DoD estimates that approximately one-fourth of all contractors in possession of Government-furnished property are small business.  All DoD contractors in possession of Government property will be equally affected by the revision in reporting requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Responsibility and Liability for Government Property (DFARS Case 2010-D018)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended 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 proposed that DoD contractors not be held liable for loss of Government property under such contracts. The basic premise of this case, that the Government should be self-insuring under contracts that provide Government property, was 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>Independent Research and Development Technical Descriptions (DFARS Case 2010-D011)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to require major contractors to report independent research and development (IR&D) projects to the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC).  The term "Major contractors" is defined as those contractors who allocated a total of more than $11M in IR&D/B&P costs to covered contracts during the preceding fiscal year.  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.  Because the rule applies only to major contractors, it will not apply to a significant number of small entities. Therefore, economic impact is expected to be minimal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Representation Relating to Compensation of Former DoD Officials (DFARS Case 2010-D020)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended 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 final rule requires 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 is 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>Only One Offer (DFARS Case 2011-D013)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to address acquisitions in which only one offer is received. 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 amending 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.

The revisions to this rule are part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. DoD's full plan can be accessed at: http://exchange.regulations.gov/exchange/topic/eo-13563.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accelerated Payments to Small Business (DFARS Case 2011-D008)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to accelerate payments to all small business concerns.  Previously, DoD assisted 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 removed the term "disadvantaged" from the language at DFARS 232.903 and DFARS 232.906(a)(ii) and extended this assistance to all small business concerns.  This change aligned 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 extended accelerated payment assistance to all small business concerns, a positive economic impact on small business is expected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Implements section 821 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Pub. L. 111-383).  Section 821 prohibits specification of the use of fire-resistant rayon fiber in solicitations issued before January 1, 2015.  Although small businesses are involved in manufacture of the uniforms, there is nothing in this rule that prohibits the continued acquisition of military uniforms containing fire-resistant rayon fiber or that would hinder acquisition of that fire-resistant fiber from Austria. Further, if another type of fire-resistant fiber is competitively selected (such as Nomex from DuPont), there will probably still be small businesses engaged in the manufacture of the military uniforms containing that fiber.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Contractors Performing Private Security Functions (DFARS Case 2011-D023)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is adopting as final with changes an interim rule (76 FR 52133, August 19, 2011) amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 862 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2008, as amended by section 853 of the NDAA for FY 2009 and sections 831 and 832 of the NDAA for FY 2011.  Section 862, as amended, establishes minimum processes and requirements for the selection, accountability, training, equipping, and conduct of personnel performing private security functions.  The DFARS is being revised to implement the statute. This rule implements the legislation by establishing (1) regulations addressing the selection, training, equipping, and conduct of personnel performing private security functions in areas of contingency operations, complex contingency operations, or other military operations or exercises that are designated by the combatant commander, (2) a contract clause, and (3) remedies. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the statute impacts only private security contractors performing outside the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Simplified Acquisition Threshold for Humanitarian or Peacekeeping Operations (DFARS Case 2011-D032)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement the authority provided by 10 U.S.C. 2303(7) to invoke a simplified acquisition threshold that is two times the amount specified at 41 U.S.C. 134 (formerly 41 U.S.C. 403(11)) to support humanitarian or peacekeeping operations. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) was revised to implement the authority to increase thresholds when supporting a contingency operation or facilitating the defense against or recovery from nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attack against the United States. While the definition of humanitarian or peacekeeping operations is included in the FAR at 2.101, 41 U.S.C. 1903 does not provide Governmentwide authority for raising the simplified acquisition threshold in support of such operations.  Therefore, it was not included in the FAR but should be included in the DFARS. DoD does not expect this final rule to have a significant negative economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rule does not impose any requirements on small businesses.  The statute applies only to purchases made outside the United States and only to those purchases that directly support a humanitarian or peacekeeping operation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Award Fee Reduction or Denial for Health or Safety Issues (DFARS Case 2011-D033)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense FAR Supplement(DFARS) to implement section 834 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011.  Section 834 is entitled "Enhancements of Authority of Secretary of Defense to Reduce or Deny Award Fees to Companies Found to Jeopardize the Health or Safety of Government Personnel. Section 834 of the statute added to existing statutory authorities to decrease or eliminate a contractor's award fee for a performance period and applies only to contractors and subcontractors that are not subject to jurisdiction of U.S. courts. The final determination of fault is the result of an investigation of a serious bodily injury or death alleged to have been caused by a contractor or subcontractor. A contractor's award fee is affected if, after the investigation, a determination is made that the serious bodily injury or death was caused by the contractor's or subcontractor's gross negligence or with reckless disregard for the safety of civilian or military personnel of the Government.  By definition, a small business is a firm that is located in the United States and is subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. courts. Therefore, no impact to small business is anticipated as a result of this rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Separation of Combined Provisions and Clauses (DFARS Case 2011-D048)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to separate provisions and clauses that were previously combined in order to be in compliance with DFARS drafting conventions.  It is against DFARS drafting conventions to combine a provision and a clause into a single clause since provisions are only applicable to solicitations while clauses apply to any resultant contract.  This rule will removed the representations from five DFARS clauses and created five new provisions to be included in solicitations that include the associated clauses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to clarify the applicability to commercial items of DoD policies relating to the use of materials containing hexavalent chromium.  DoD published a final rule at in the Federal Register at 76 FR 25569 on May 5, 2011, to implement the DoD policy addressing the serious human health and environmental risks related to the use of hexavalent chromium.  The final rule overlooked the need to separately prescribe the clause in part 212 in order to require use of the clause in acquisitions conducted under part 212.  This rule corrects that oversight.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administering Trafficking in Persons Regulations (DFARS Case 2011-D051)  
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Supplement (DFARS) to add to the list of contract administration functions a requirement to maintain surveillance over contractor compliance with trafficking in persons duties and responsibilities when they are incorporated in contracts. While the clause at FAR 52.222-50, Trafficking in Persons, has been in effect since February 2009, the listing of Government contract administration functions was not modified at that time to add surveillance of a contractor's compliance with the clause requirements.  Because the addition of this contract administration function is internal to DoD and will not impact current contract requirements or contract clauses required, this is not a significant revision as defined at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 1.501-1.  Therefore, under the authority at FAR 1.501-3(a), this was published as a final rule without first obtaining public comment. The rule added a contract administration function that is entirely internal to the Government and will not impact contractors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to clarify the requirements for the Canadian Commercial Corporation to submit data other than certified cost or pricing data. DoD has waived the requirement for the Canadian Commercial Corporation and its subcontractors to submit certified cost or pricing data, but not the requirement to submit data other than certified cost or pricing data. The rule clarifies the requirement for data other than certified cost or pricing data when contracting with the Canadian Commercial Corporation.

        <RULE_TITLE>Utilization of Domestic Photovoltaic Devices (DFARS Case 2011-D046)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to implement section 846 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011.  The section provides that photovoltaic devices to be utilized in performance of any covered contract shall comply with the Buy American statute, subject to the exceptions provided in the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 or otherwise provided by law. The rule amended DFARS subpart 225.70 by adding a new section 225.7017, Utilization of domestic photovoltaic devices, as well as an associated provision and clause in DFARS part 252. DoD has not made a determination to apply the requirement of section 846 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 to contracts at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), but has determined to apply the rule to contracts for the acquisition of commercial items. The objective of the rule is to promote utilization of domestic photovoltaic devices under an energy savings contract, a utility service contract, or a private housing contract, if such contract does not include DoD purchase of photovoltaic devices as end products, but will nevertheless result in DoD ownership of photovoltaic devices. Prime contractors for this type of contract would generally be large businesses, based on the capital costs involved in these projects.  However, many developers tend to subcontract out the majority of work to smaller companies.  We do not currently have data available on whether any of the manufacturers of photovoltaic devices are small entities. DoD expects that this rule may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of DoD Mentor-Protégé Pilot Program (DFARS Case 2011-D050)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to extend the date for submittal of applications under the DoD Mentor-Protégé Pilot Program for new mentor-protégé agreements and the date mentors may incur costs and/or receive credit towards fulfilling their small business subcontracting goals through an approved mentor-protégé agreement. This DFARS rule implements section 8016 of the National Defense Appropriation Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 (Pub. L. 112-10).  The NDAA for FY 2011 was signed into law on April 15, 2011.  Section 8016 amends the DoD Mentor Protégé Pilot Program (DoD MPP), section 831 of Public Law 110-510, (10 U.S.C. 2302, note) by changing the acceptance date for new DoD MPP agreements from September 30, 2010, to September 30, 2011.  The rule also changed the eligibility date by which DoD mentors may incur costs for the purposes of receiving cost reimbursement or credit toward attainment of subcontracting goal, from September 30, 2013, to September 30, 2014.  This final rule merely extends the effective dates for an existing DoD program, and has no significant cost or administrative impact on contractors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Designated Country-Armenia (DFARS Case 2011-D057)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to add Armenia as a World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement (WTO GPA) country and a designated country, due to the accession of Armenia to membership in the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement. Because Armenia is now a WTO GPA country and therefore also a designated country, as determined by the U.S. Trade Representative, this final rule added Armenia to the lists of WTO GPA countries within the definition of "designated country" at DFARS 252.225-7021, Trade Agreements, and 252.225-7045, Balance of Payments Program-Construction Material Under Trade Agreements. Conforming changes were also made to the clause date at 252.225-7001(b)(12)(i). This final rule does not constitute a significant DFARS 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 was not required.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disclosure to Litigation Support Contractors (DFARS Case 2011-D018)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is issuing an interim rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 801 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 to authorize an exception to the statutory scheme that would otherwise prohibit Government litigation support contractors from accessing or using proprietary technical data belonging to prime contractors and other third parties, provided that the support contractor is subject to appropriate non-disclosure and use restrictions. Upon implementation, the Government will now be authorized to make limited releases of otherwise-proprietary data to litigation support contractorssubject to certain protections. Additionally, the rule mandates specific restrictions for the litigation support contractors that will receive the proprietary technical data, to ensure that this use does not threaten the data owner's competitive advantage due to the proprietary information, and to provide the data owner with a legal remedies against the support contractor for any breach of those use restrictions. This interim rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rule merely provides policy and procedures to allow certain types of Government litigation support contractors to have access to proprietary technical data belonging to prime contractors and other third parties.
DoD closed this case without further action on 01/18/2012.  Case closed into DFARS Case 2012-D022.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Title 41 Positive Law Codification--Further Implementation (DFARS Case 2012-D003)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to conform statutory titles throughout the DFARS to the new Positive Law Codification of title 41, United States Code, "Public Contracts."  On January 4, 2011, Public Law 111-350 enacted a new codified version of title 41 United States Code (U.S.C.), entitled "Public Contracts."  Title 41 U.S.C. citations were updated under DFARS Case 2011-D036 (76 FR 58137, Sept 20, 2011).  This rule makes further changes to the previous titles of Acts that have changed in titles 40 and 41 (comparable to the proposed FAR rule under FAR Case 2011-018), and other edits as necessary. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rule does not change any policies or requirements.  It just changes and updates references and terminology.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to establish an order of application for the effective date for modifications to resolve any potential conflicts that may arise from multiple modifications with the same effective date.  There are no rules to describe in what order to apply modifications to determine the actual content of a resulting modified contract.  In order to determine the sequence of modifications to a contract or order, a method for determining the order of application for modifications is needed to resolve any conflict arising from multiple modifications with the same effective date.  This rule proposes to add DFARS text at 204.7007, Order of Application for Modifications, to resolve any potential inconsistency.]]></ABSTRACT>

The final rule implemented a recommendation, by the Panel on Contracting Integrity that was included in its 2009 Report to Congress, to address a contracting vulnerability in the definition of commercial item.  The Panel on Contracting Integrity working group concluded, after reviewing a sampling of commercial contract awards, that contracting officer determinations are not always sufficiently documented in accordance with DFARS 212.102.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inflation Adjustment of Threshold for Acquisition of Right-Hand Drive Passenger Sedans (DFARS Case 2012-D016)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 814(b)of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. Section 814(b) requires that the statutory limitation on the acquisition of right-hand drive passenger sedans be included on the list of dollar thresholds subject to inflation adjustment. DFARS 212.271 was added to provide the escalated threshold of $40,000 per vehicle when acquiring right-hand drive passenger sedans. DFARS 201.109(a) was to include the dollar limitation for the acquisition of right-hand drive passenger sedans in the list of statutory acquisition-related dollar thresholds to be adjusted for inflation. The threshold was previously amended from "$12,000" per vehicle to "$30,000" per vehicle in 1997 through section 805 of the Fiscal Year 1986 Department of Defense Appropriations Act. No impact on small business is anticipated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement:  Report on Waiver of Prohibition on Acquisition From Communist Chinese Military Companies (DFARS Case 2012-D023)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement the requirement in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 to report to the congressional defense committees 15 days before issuing a waiver of the prohibition on acquisition of United States munitions list items from Communist Chinese military companies. The current requirement is for a report within 30 days after the date of the waiver (pursuant to section 1211 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (Pub. L. 109-163), implemented at DFARS 225.770, Prohibition on acquisitions of United States Munitions List items from Communist Chinese military companies).  The rule also adds the requirement to send a copy of the report to Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy.  No impact on small business is anticipated because the rule merely alters the timing of the report to the congressional defense committees when issuing a waiver of the prohibition on acquisition of United States Munitions List items from Communist Chinese military companies, adds the requirement to send a copy of the report to Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, and further specifies the required contents of the report.  These requirements affect only the internal operating procedures of the Government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to require additional planning, monitoring, and executing activities for contract closeouts when the contracts are awarded for performance in contingency areas. The rule implements a recommendation made by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) report 11-891,"CONTINGENCY CONTRACTING: Improved Planning and Management Oversight Needed to Address Challenges with Closing Contracts," dated August 23, 2011.  The rule is not required to be published for public comment because this amendment does not relate to the expenditure of appropriated funds, and has neither a significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of DoD, or a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors.  These requirements affect only the internal operating procedures of the Government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Qualifying Country--Czech Republic (DFARS Case 2012-D043)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to add the Czech Republic as a qualifying country. On April 18, 2012, the Secretary of Defense signed a new reciprocal defense procurement agreement adding the Czech Republic to the list of 21 other countries that have similar reciprocal defense procurement agreements with DoD.  The U.S-Czech Republic reciprocal defense agreement removes discriminatory barriers to procurements of supplies and services produced by industrial enterprises of the other country to the extent mutually beneficial and consistent with national laws, regulations, policies, and international obligations. The agreement does not cover construction or construction material. This rule will not have a significant cost impact on small business.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Withholding of Unclassified Technical Data From Public Disclosure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This part establishes policy, prescribes procedures, and assigns responsibilities for the dissemination and withholding of technical data pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 130. Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 130 and 133, the Secretary of Defense may withhold from public disclosure, notwithstanding any other provision of law, any technical data with military or space application in the possession of, or under the control of, the DoD, if such data may not be exported lawfully without an approval, authorization, or license in accordance with Executive Order 13222 or pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act of 1976.  However, technical data may not be withheld under this section if regulations promulgated under either Executive Order 13222 or the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 authorize the export of such data pursuant to a general, unrestricted license or exemption in such regulations. Because public disclosure of technical data subject to this part is tantamount to providing uncontrolled foreign access, withholding such data from public disclosure, unless approved, authorized, or licensed in accordance with export control laws, is necessary and in the national interest.  Unclassified technical data that are not governed by this part, unless otherwise restricted, shall continue to be made available to the public as well as to State and local governments.

The revisions to this rule are part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. DoD's full plan can be accessed at: http://exchange.regulations.gov/exchange/topic/eo-13563.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Provision of Early Intervention and Special Education Services to Eligible DoD Dependents</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule reissues 32 CFR part 57 to establish policy and assign responsibilities to implement the non-funding provisions 20 USC ch 33 (also known and hereinafter referred to as "The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)"). This includes the provision of early intervention services (EIS) to infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families, as well as special education and related services to children with disabilities entitled under this part to receive education services from DoD. It also includes the implementation of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary program of EIS for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their DoD civilian-employed and military families, and the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE), including special education and related services, for children with disabilities who are eligible to enroll in DoD Education Activity (DoDEA) schools, as specified in their individualized education program (IEP). Monitoring of DoD programs providing EIS, special education, and related services for compliance with this part are also included. This rule establishes a DoD Coordinating Committee to recommend policies and provide compliance oversight for early intervention and special education.

The revisions to this rule are part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. DoD's full plan can be accessed at: http://exchange.regulations.gov/exchange/topic/eo-13563.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Service Academies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is revising and updating policy guidance and oversight of the Military Service Academies. This rule implements 10 U.S.C. 403, 603, and 903 for the establishment and operation of the United States Military Academy, the United States Naval Academy, and the United States Air Force Academy. Administrative costs are negligible and benefits are clear, concise rules that enable the Secretary of Defense to insure that the Service Academies are efficiently operated and meet the needs of the armed forces. The proposed rule was published October 18, 2007 (72 FR 59053), and included policy that has since changed. The final rule, particularly the explanation of separation policy, will reflect recent changes in the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) will lack updated and revised rules for implementing DoD policy on prevention and response to sexual assaults involving members of the U.S. Armed Forces if this rule is not implemented.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The preliminary estimate of the anticipated cost associated with this rule for the current fiscal year (2011) is approximately $14.819 million.  Additionally, each of the Military Services establishes its own SAPR budget for the programmatic costs arising from the implementation of the training, prevention, reporting, response, and oversight requirements established by this rule.

The anticipated benefits associated with this rule include:

(1) Guidance with which the Department may establish a culture free of sexual assault by providing an environment of prevention, education and training, response capability, victim support, reporting procedures, and appropriate accountability that enhances the safety and well being of all persons covered by this rule;

(2) Treatment of sexual assault patients as emergency cases, which prevents loss of life or suffering resulting from physical injuries (internal or external), sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy, and psychological distress; 

(3) The availability of two reporting options for Service members and their dependents who are 18 years of age or older covered by this rule who are victims of sexual assault.  The two reporting options are as follows:

(a)  Unrestricted Reporting allows an eligible person who is sexually assaulted to access medical treatment and counseling and request an official investigation of the allegation using existing reporting channels (e.g., chain of command, law enforcement, healthcare personnel, the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator [SARC]).  When a sexual assault is reported through Unrestricted Reporting, a SARC shall be notified as soon as possible, respond, assign a SAPR Victim Advocate (VA), and offer the victim medical care and a sexual assault forensic examination (SAFE); and

(b)  Restricted Reporting allows sexual assault victims to confidentially disclose the assault to specified individuals (i.e., SARC, SAPR VA, or healthcare personnel), in accordance with DoD Directive (DoDD) 5400.11, and receive medical treatment, including emergency care, counseling, and assignment of a SARC and SAPR VA, without triggering an official investigation.  The victim's report to healthcare personnel (including the information acquired from a SAFE Kit), SARCs, or SAPR VAs will not be reported to law enforcement, or to the victim's command to initiate the official investigative process, unless the victim consents or an established exception applies in accordance with DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6495.02.

The Department's preference is for complete Unrestricted Reporting of sexual assaults to allow for the provision of victims' services and to pursue accountability.  However, Unrestricted Reporting may represent a barrier for victims to access services, when the victim desires no command or law enforcement involvement.  Consequently, the Department recognizes a fundamental need to provide a confidential disclosure vehicle via the Restricted Reporting option.

(4) Service members who are on active duty but were victims of sexual assault prior to enlistment or commissioning are eligible to receive SAPR services and utilize either reporting option.  The focus of this rule and DoDI 6495.02 is on the victim of sexual assault.  The DoD shall provide support to an active duty Service member regardless of when or where the sexual assault took place; and   

(5) Guidance for the development of response capabilities that will enable sexual assault victims to recover, and, if Service members, to be fully mission capable and engaged.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The rule intends to enable military readiness by establishing a culture free of sexual assault.  Sexual assault poses a serious threat to military readiness because the potential costs and consequences are extremely high: chronic psychological consequences may include depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse.  In the U.S. Armed Forces, sexual assault not only degrades individual resilience but also may erode unit integrity.  An effective fighting force cannot tolerate sexual assault within its ranks.  Sexual assault is incompatible with military culture and mission readiness, and risks to mission accomplishment.  This rule aims to mitigate this risk to mission readiness.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Operational Contract Support</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 of urgency.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[A March 2011 Government Accountability Office report on the DoD TA program recommended the Department take steps to enhance its oversight of schools receiving TA funds.  As a result, a DoD Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) requirement was included in this rule, which is designated not only to improve Departmental oversight but also to account for our Service members' unique lifestyle requirements.  The purpose of the DoD MOU is to establish a partnership between the Department and institutions to improve educational opportunities while protecting the integrity of each institution's core educational values.  This partnership serves to ensure a quality, viable program exists that provides for our Service members to realize their educational goals, while allowing for judicious oversight of taxpayer dollars.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

Unauthorized access and compromise of DoD unclassified information poses an unacceptable risk and imminent threat to U.S. national and economic security.  DoD's voluntary DIB  Cyber Security and Information Assurance (CS/IA) program enhances and supplements DIB participants' capabilities to safeguard DoD information on DIB unclassified information systems.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Government and private sector information assurance, which includes cyber threat information sharing, is an urgent U.S. national and economic security priority.  The following authorities and policy guidance identify government-industry partnerships as necessary to contend with advanced cyber threats and support the collection of cyber incident information from the DIB.
 
DoD Information Assurance (IA):  DoD is required by statute to establish programs and activities to protect DoD information and DoD information systems, including information and information systems operated and maintained by contractors or others in support of DoD activities.  Section 2224 of title 10, U.S. Code (U.S.C.), requires DoD to establish a Defense IA Program to protect and defend DoD information, information systems, and information networks that are critical to the Department during day to day operations and operations in times of crisis. (10 U.S.C. section 2224(a)).  The program must provide continuously for the availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, non-repudiation, and rapid restitution of information and information systems that are essential elements of the Defense information infrastructure. (10 U.S.C. section 2224(b)).  The program strategy also must include vulnerability and threat assessments for defense and supporting non-defense information infrastructures, joint activities with elements of the national information infrastructure, and coordination with representatives of those national critical infrastructure systems that are essential to DoD operations. (10 U.S.C. section 2224(c)).  The program must provide for coordination, as appropriate, with the heads of any relevant federal agency and with representatives of those national critical information infrastructure systems that are essential to the operations of the Department regarding information assurance measures necessary to the protection of these systems. (10 U.S.C. section 2224(d)).
 
Federal Information Security:  The Defense IA Program also must ensure compliance with Federal information security requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), 44 U.S.C. section 3541 et seq.  FISMA requires all federal agencies to provide information security protections for information collected or maintained by, or on behalf of, the agency.  Information systems used or operated by an agency or by a contractor of an agency or other organization on behalf of an agency must be in accordance with 44 U.S.C. section 3544(a)(1)(A).  Agencies are expressly required to develop, document, and implement programs to provide information security for information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the agency, including those provided by another agency, contractor, or other source in accordance with 44 U.S.C. section 3544(b).

Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP):  Under Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7), "Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, and Protection," the Department of Defense is the Sector Specific Agency (SSA) for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) sector (HSPD-7), (18)(g)), and thus engages with the DIB on a wide range of CIP matters, including but not limited to cyber security.  HSPD-7 charges the SSAs to: collaborate with all relevant Federal departments and agencies, State and local governments, and the private sector, including with key persons and entities in their infrastructure sector; conduct or facilitate vulnerability assessments of the sector; and encourage risk management strategies to protect against and mitigate the effects of attacks against critical infrastructure and key resources. (HSPD-7), (19)).  The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) leads the national effort to protect public and private critical infrastructure. (HSPD-7), (7)).  This includes coordinating implementation activities between federal agencies, state and local authorities, and the private sector.  Regarding cyber security, these efforts are to include analysis, warning, information sharing, vulnerability reduction, mitigation, and aiding national recovery efforts for critical infrastructure information systems. (HSPD-7), (12))  More specifically, regarding coordination with the private sector, HSPD-7 provides that DHS and the SSAs "will collaborate with appropriate private sector entities and continue to encourage the development of information sharing and analysis mechanisms [to] identify, prioritize, and coordinate the protection of critical infrastructure and key resources; and to facilitate sharing of information about physical and cyber threats, vulnerabilities, incidents, potential protective measures, and best practices." (HSPD-7), (25)).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Private sector DIB company participation in the DIB CS/IA program is completely voluntary, allowing DIB companies to elect whether to participate in the program, or to choose from any other available alternatives, based on their individual approaches to cyber security and information security.  The DIB CS/IA bilateral information sharing activities are a core element of the DoD's multi-pronged approach to fulfill its information assurance responsibilities and cyber security.  The program enhances and supplements DIB participants' capabilities to safeguard DoD information that resides on, or transits, DIB unclassified information systems.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Participation in the DIB CS/IA program is voluntary and does not obligate the DIB participant to use government furnished information (GFI) in, or otherwise to implement any changes to, its information systems.  Any action taken by the DIB participant based on GFI or other participation in this program is taken on the DIB participant's own volition and at the participant's own risk and expense.  As a voluntary program in which the DIB participants and the Government each bear independent responsibility for their own activities, the costs to both the private sector and to the government are minimized.  This voluntary participation will not create an inconsistency or otherwise interfere with any action taken or planned by another Agency.  We do not believe that it raises novel legal policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or principles set forth in Executive Orders. 
 
All DIB participants must have or obtain DoD-approved, medium assurance certificates to enable encrypted unclassified information sharing between DoD and DIB participants.  Cost of the DoD approved medium assurance certificates is approximately $175 for each individual identified by the DIB participant.  See http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca/ for more information about DoD-approved certificates.

For classified information sharing, each DIB participant will have start up costs of approximately $3,000 per DIBNet-Secret terminal installed in their cleared facility(ies).  An estimate of $1,000 per year is projected as sustainment costs for each classified DIBNet-Secret terminal, including associated personnel costs for maintaining software updates for each stand-alone terminal.
 
There is an estimated annual burden for DIB participants projected at $1,367 for incident reporting.  This is based on a DIB participant reporting average of 5 cyber incidents a year affecting DoD information, with 7 hours of labor per incident, at a cost of $39.06 per man hour.  These man hour costs are according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wages, May 2010, and depending upon the number of cyber incidents experienced and their severity, the annual burden could increase.

These costs provide beneficial capabilities to enhance and supplement DIB participants' capabilities to safeguard DoD information that resides on, or transits, DIB unclassified information systems.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Defense (DoD) is issuing this interim final rule to implement section 358 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, Public Law 111-383.  That section requires that the DoD issue procedures addressing the impacts upon military operations of certain types of structures if they pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States.  The structures addressed are those for which an application is required to be filed with the Secretary of Transportation under section 44718 of title 49, United States Code.  Section 358 also requires the designation of a lead organization to coordinate DoD review of applications for projects filed with the Secretary of Transportation pursuant to section 44718, and received by the Department of Defense from the Secretary of Transportation.  Section 358 also requires the designation of certain officials by the Secretary of Defense to perform functions pursuant to the section and this implementing rule.  Section 358 also requires the establishment of a comprehensive strategy for addressing military impacts of renewable energy projects and other energy projects, with the objective of ensuring that the robust development of renewable energy sources and the expansion of the commercial electrical grid may move forward in the United States, while minimizing or mitigating any adverse impacts on military operations and readiness.  Implementing that requirement, however, is not required at this time and is not part of this rule.  Other aspects of section 358 not required at this time, such as annual reports to Congress, are also not addressed in this rule.  Nor does this rule deal with other clearance processes not included in section 358, such as those applied by the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior.]]></ABSTRACT>

The evaluation process is established for the purpose of identifying any adverse impact of proposed projects on military operations and readiness, minimizing or mitigating such adverse impacts, and determining if any such projects pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States.

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Public Law 111-383, Section 358]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The requirement to have a rule and the policies, responsibilities, and procedures contained in the rule were prescribed by section 358 of Public Law 111-383.  In the areas where DoD has discretion, e.g., the internal procedures used within DoD to comply with the law, alternative arrangements would have no impact on the net economic effects of the rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Department of Defense has long participated in the Department of Transportation review process, interacting with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).  Prior to Section 358 of Public Law 111-383, DoD's engagement was decentralized - each Military Service participated separately working with FAA representatives at the regional level.  In addition, each Service set its own standards for challenging a project application.  Section 358 directed that DoD develop a single DoD point of contact for responses, established the threshold level of harm that must be reached before DoD could object to a project application on the basis of national security, and directed that DoD negotiate mitigation with project developers if potential harm is identified.  The directed threshold level of harm, identified as "unacceptable risk to national security," is higher than the standard previously used.  This will result in DoD objecting to fewer project applications than before, reducing the impact of DoD reviews on non-DoD economic activity.  The requirement to engage in mitigation negotiations may delay some projects (which has a negative impact on non-DoD economic activity), but it may result in still fewer DoD objections (which has a positive impact on non-DoD economic activity).  DoD estimates that the net effect of these factors on non-DoD economic activity will be a benefit of approximately $70 million.

The higher standard for objection imposed by section 358 of Public Law 111-383 may allow projects that conflict with military activity, but do not achieve the high level of conflict required by law to object, to proceed.  This may impose costs on DoD, e.g., systems testing may have to be moved to alternative test ranges, training and readiness activities may be curtailed or moved, and changes to operations may have to be implemented to overcome interference with coastal, border, and interior homeland surveillance.  The early outreach and negotiation over mitigation required by section 358 may allow modification of some projects to reduce or eliminate their conflict with military activities in cases where the absence of early outreach and negotiation would result in the project proceeding without mitigation.  This would provide a benefit to DoD.  The net effect of these costs and benefits on DoD has not been quantitatively estimated.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The higher standard for a DoD objection to a project and the requirement to allow early consultation by developers with DoD will reduce the risk to both developers and to industry of planning a project that is unacceptable to DoD.  Per the discussion above, there is a risk to DoD that projects in conflict with military activity, but that do not achieve the high level of conflict required by law to object, will proceed and impair DoD's test and evaluation; training and readiness; and coastal, border, and interior homeland surveillance capabilities.]]></RISKS>

        <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.

This language has been placed in a contract vehicle, therefore, a rulemaking is no longer necessary. For this reason, the Department has withdrawn the rule.]]></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>

All employees are responsible for maintaining a safe work environment, including providing protection from individuals outside the DoD perpetrating violence against DoD employees. Violent behavior shall be addressed immediately, and those who engage in such behavior may be immediately removed from the premises, denied re-entry pending completion of the appropriate investigation, and may be subject to removal from the Federal service, criminal prosecution, or both.

Office of General Counsel has determined that a rulemaking is not required, therefore, the Department has withdrawn this rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Homeowners Assistance Program--Application Processing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Expanded Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP), authorized in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for 2009 ("the Act"), provided much needed assistance to military and civilian employees, and spouses of military members who died in the line of duty.  However, the Expanded HAP eligibility criteria established in the Act, including those criteria that were subsequently changed through administrative rulemaking procedures, did not address when the Department of Defense (DoD) will terminate the program by establishing a deadline for receipt of applications.  Based on anticipated reductions in the Defense budget in Fiscal Year 2012 and beyond, continuing the Expanded HAP provisions for Permanent Change of Station (PCS) and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 2005 categories is no longer viable.  In the November 2010 Expanded HAP Final Rule, the PCS eligibility criterion date was changed from September 30, 2012, to September 30, 2010, due to funding limitations.  However, the Department continues to receive more than 100 eligible applications per month for this application category.  Per the Act, the BRAC 2005 eligibility criterion will terminate on September 30, 2012, a full year after implementation of the BRAC 2005 round.  It is now time to establish application deadlines for Expanded HAP benefits for the PCS and BRAC 2005 categories.  To that end, this rule will amend 32 CFR part 239 by adding the two paragraphs to Section 239.9(a) to establish the application deadlines.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of Civil Monetary Penalties for Inflation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Education (Department) issues final regulations to adjust the Department's Civil Monetary Penalties (CMPs) for inflation, as required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990.  The Act (28 U.S.C. 2461 note) provides for the regular evaluation of Civil Monetary Penalties (CMPs) to ensure that they continue to maintain their deterrent value.  The Inflation Adjustment Act requires that each agency issue regulations to adjust its CMPs beginning in 1996 and at least every four years thereafter.  The Department published its most recent cost adjustment to each CMP in the Federal Register on January 4, 2005 (70 FR 297).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed regulations would govern the submission of records to, and receipt of information from, the Migrant Student Information Exchange, a congressionally mandated national mechanism for electronically exchanging records on migrant students.  They also would condition a State educational agency's receipt of Migrant Education Program funds on its agreement to meet those regulations. The mechanism allows school staffs in different States to electronically exchange basic health and educational information to facilitate, for migrant children, timely school enrollment, placement, and accrual of secondary course credits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Secretary proposes to amend the regulations governing title I, part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), to phase out the authority of States to define modified academic achievement standards and develop alternate assessments based on those modified academic achievement standards in order to satisfy ESEA accountability requirements.  These proposed amendments would permit, as a transitional measure, States that meet certain criteria to continue to administer alternate assessments based on modified academic achievement standards and include the results in accountability determinations, subject to limitations on the number of proficient scores that may be counted, for a limited period of time.]]></ABSTRACT>

Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) program regulations.  The regulations would implement a new Income Contingent Repayment (ICR) plan in the Direct Loan program based on the President's "Pay As You Earn" repayment initiative, incorporate recent statutory changes to the Income Based Repayment (IBR) plan in the Direct Loan and FFEL programs, and streamline and add clarity to the total and permanent disability discharge process for borrowers in the title IV, HEA loan programs.  The regulations implementing a new ICR Plan and the statutory changes to the IBR plan would assist borrowers in repaying their loans while the proposed changes to the total and permanent disability discharge process would reduce burden for borrowers who are disabled and seeking a discharge of their title IV debt.]]></ABSTRACT>

These changes removed 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 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>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>

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>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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPAct 1992 (Pub. L. No. 102-486), section 126, required DOE to support and monitor a national voluntary testing and information program for widely used luminaires that have significant energy savings potential, and to issue a determination as to whether the program developed was consistent with those objectives. The program was required to include specifications for test procedures and labels that will enable purchasers of such luminaires to make more informed decisions about the energy efficiency and costs of alternative products. If DOE determined that these test procedures and labels did not exist, EPAct 1992 directed DOE to develop them for luminaires. (42 U.S.C. 6292 note) Therefore, DOE will develop, as appropriate, test procedures for lighting systems (luminaires).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE is requesting data and information about the impact of its recently amended energy conservation standards for residential electric water heaters on utility programs that use high-storage-volume (above 55 gallons) electric storage water heaters to reduce peak electricity demand. DOE amended its standards for residential water heaters on April 16, 2010, and compliance with the amended standards is required beginning on April 16, 2015. Of particular relevance, the amended standards for residential water heaters raised the minimum requirements for electric storage water heaters with storage volumes above 55 gallons to levels that are currently achieved through the use of heat pump water heater technology. This request for information solicits feedback on the effects of the amended energy conservation standards for electric storage water heaters on such utility programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EISA 2007 amended EPCA to require that at least once every 7 years, DOE must review test procedures for all covered products and either amend test procedures (if the Secretary determines that amended test procedures would more accurately or fully comply with the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(3)) or publish notice in the Federal Register of any determination not to amend a test procedure. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(1)(A)) Under this requirement, DOE must review the test procedures for residential heating products not later than December 19, 2014 (i.e., 7 years after the enactment of EISA 2007). The final rule resulting from this rulemaking will satisfy the requirement to review the test procedures for residential heating products within seven years of the enactment of the EISA 2007 amendments to EPCA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemaking Determination Regarding an Exclusion for 120 Volt, 100 Watt R20 Short Incandescent Reflector Lamp for Spa Applications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE is granting the National Electrical Manufacturers Association's (NEMA's) petition to undertake a rulemaking to determine whether to exclude from energy conservation standards under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA, 42 U.S.C. 6291, et seq.), a type of incandescent reflector lamp (IRL).  Specifically, NEMA seeks an exclusion for 120 volt (V), 100 watt (W), R20  short (having a maximum overall length (MOL) of 3 5/8 (or 3.625) inches) lamps ("R20 short lamps") marketed for use in hot tub spas.  Such a review for exclusion is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 6291(30)(E), which allows the Secretary, by rule, to exclude a fluorescent or incandescent lamp if standards for such lamp would not result in significant energy savings because such lamp is designed for  special applications or because the lamp has special characteristics not available in reasonably substitutable lamp types.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Enforcement of Regional Standards for Residential Furnaces and Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE has developed three separate possible approaches to enforcement of regional standards for residential furnaces and residential central air conditioners and heat pumps set forth by direct final rule published in the Federal Register on June 27, 2011 (76 FR 37549. Adoption of these regional standards was addressed on October 31, 2011 (76 FR 67037).  DOE intends to select one of these three approaches, or a combination of elements in these approaches, as a framework for an enforcement plan for regional standards. DOE is also considering a possible waiver process for regional standards applicability.  DOE is required to promulgate an enforcement final rule covering the enforcement of regional standards "[n]ot later than 15 months after the date of the issuance of a final rule that establishes a regional standard."  42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(6)(G)(ii)(III).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE  proposes minor amendments and corrections to portions of its regulations governing petitions for waiver and interim waiver from DOE test procedures. In finalizing the March 7, 2011 final certification, compliance and enforcement rule for consumer products and commercial equipment, DOE inadvertently deleted language pertaining to petitions for waiver and interim waiver of DOE's test procedure requirements for consumer products. This notice addresses that error by proposing to restore the omitted text.  Additionally, the notice proposes to make minor modifications to the waiver provisions for both consumer products and commercial equipment and to clarify certain aspects related to the submission and processing of a waiver petition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPCA requires that DOE amend the test procedure at least once every 7 years, unless it determines that the existing test procedure does not need to be amended. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(1)) DOE is considering amended the residential dehumidifier test procedure to address active mode issues in this rulemaking. DOE is addressed standby mode and off mode energy use, as well as certain active mode provisions, in the dehumidifier test procedure in a separate rulemaking, issued on October 10, 2012.  In addition, DOE is considering amended energy conservation standards for residential dehumidifiers in a rulemaking for which a NOPR is expected to publish in 2015. Therefore, DOE expects to publish this test procedure final rule in advance of the 2019 EPCA deadline]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Title III of EPCA sets forth a variety of provisions designed to improve energy efficiency. Part A of title III (42 U.S.C. 6291 to 6309) provides for the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products other than Automobiles. EPCA directs DOE to conduct a rulemaking to establish energy conservation standards for battery chargers or determine that no energy conservation standard is technically feasible and economically justified (42 U.S.C. 6295 (u)(1)(E)(i)-(ii)and (w)(3)(D)). 

In addition to the existing general definition of "external power supply," EPCA defines a "Class A external power supply" (42 U.S.C. 6291(36)(C)) and sets efficiency standards for those products (42 U.S.C. 6295(u)(3)). EPCA directs DOE to publish a final rule to determine whether amended standards should be set for external power supplies or classes of external power supplies.  If such determination is positive, DOE must include any amended or new standards as part of that final rule.  DOE completed this determination in 2012.  75 FR 7170 (May 14, 2010)

DOE is bundling these separate rulemaking requirements into a single rulemaking action.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The statute requires DOE to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is technologically feasible and economically justified. In making this determination, DOE conducts a thorough analysis of the alternative standard levels, including the existing standard, based on the criteria specified by the statute.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[DOE believes that the benefits to the Nation of the proposed energy standards for battery chargers and external power supplies (such as energy savings, consumer average lifecycle cost savings, an increase in national net present value, and emission reductions) outweigh the burdens (such as loss of industry net present value). DOE estimates that energy savings from electricity will be 2.16 quads over 30 years and the benefit to the Nation will be between $6.68 billion and $12.44 billion]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current distribution transformer efficiency standards for medium-voltage-transformers apply to transformers manufactured or imported on or after January 1, 2010, and to low-voltage, dry type transformers manufactured or imported on or after January 1, 2007.  As a result of a settlement agreement, DOE agreed to conduct a review of the standards for liquid-immersed and medium-voltage dry-type distribution transformers to determine if, pursuant to EPCA. the standards for these products need to be amended. As a result of the review, DOE published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking which included new proposed standards for these products as well as low-voltage, dry-type transformers. Under the settlement agreement, DOE is obligated to 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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[EPAC requires minimum energy efficiency standards for appliances, which has the effect of eliminating inefficient appliances and equipment from the market.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[EPCA of 1975 established an energy conservation program for major household appliances. The National Energy Conservation Policy Act of 1978 amended EPCA to add part C of title III, which established an energy conservation program for certain industrial equipment. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 amended EPCA to add certain commercial equipment, including distribution transformers. 

DOE published a final rule in October 2007 that established energy conservation standards for liquid-immersed and medium-voltage dry-type distribution transformers. 72 FR 58190 (October 12, 2007); see 10 CFR 431.196(b)-(c). During the course of that rulemaking, EPACT 2005, Public Law 10958, amended EPCA to set standards for low-voltage dry-type distribution transformers. (EPACT 2005, section 135(c); codified at 42 U.S.C. 6295(y)) Consequently, DOE removed these transformers from the scope of that rulemaking. 72 FR 58191.  Prior to publishing the energy conservation standard, DOE published a final rule test procedure for distribution transformers on April 27, 2006. 71 FR 24972; see appendix A to subpart K of 10 CFR 431.

DOE is currently conducting a rulemaking to review and amend the energy conservation standards in effect for distribution transformers. This new rulemaking includes liquid-immersed, medium-voltage dry-type, and low-voltage dry-type distribution transformers. 

On July 29, 2011, DOE gave notice that it intends to establish a negotiated rulemaking subcommittee under the Energy Efficiency and Renewables Advisory Committee (ERAC) in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and the Negotiated Rulemaking Act(NRA) to negotiate proposed Federal standards for the energy efficiency of liquid-immersed and medium-voltage dry-type distribution transformers.  77 FR 4547.  On August 12, 2011, DOE gave notice that it intends to establish a negotiated rulemaking subcommittee under the ERAC in accordance with the FACA and the NRA to negotiate proposed Federal standards for the energy efficiency of low-voltage dry-type distribution transformers. 76 FR 50148.

ERAC subcommittees met several times from September to December 2011.  Subcommittee members included manufacturers, utilities, and energy efficiency advocates.  The medium-voltage subcommittee reached consensus on standards for medium-voltage, dry-type distribution transformers, but consensus was not reached for the two other transformer types.

DOE's February publication of the proposed rule for energy conservation standards for liquid-immersed, medium-voltage dry-type, and low-voltage dry-type distribution transformers fulfills DOE's obligation under a court order. 77 FR 7282 (February 10, 2011).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The statute requires DOE to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is technologically feasible and economically justified. In making this determination, DOE conducts a thorough analysis of the alternative standard levels, including the existing standard, based on the criteria specified by the statute.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[DOE believes that the benefits to the Nation of the proposed energy standards for distribution transformers (such as energy savings, consumer average lifecycle cost savings, an increase in national net present value, and emission reductions) outweigh the burdens (such as loss of industry net present value). DOE estimates that energy savings from electricity will be 1.58 quads over 30 years and the benefit to the Nation will be between $2.9 billion and $12.1 billion.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Per the EISA 2007 amendment to EPCA, DOE  test procedures for residential furnaces and boilers are to be amended to include methods for measuring standby and off mode energy, taking into consideration the most recent applicable versions of standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).  DOE completed the required action in 2010 by publishing a final rule which incorporated by reference IEC Standard 62301(First Edition) (75 FR 64621, October 20, 2010).  This rulemaking will further amend the test procedure to incorporate by reference the new IEC standard 62301 (Second Edition), which has the potential to improve measurements and reduce testing burden.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments to Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975(EPCA) in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) amended the energy conservation standards to extend coverage to certain classes of incandescent reflector lamps (IRL) that had previously been outside the statutory definition of "incandescent reflector lamp," although certain of these lamps were excluded from the statutory standard levels at that same time. However, EISA 2007 authorized DOE to amend these standards if such amendments were warranted. Therefore, DOE is undertaking this rulemaking to consider establishing efficiency standards for previously exempt small diameter, ER, and BR lamps, which are commonly used in track lighting and recessed cans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for Residential Furnace Fans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE is initiating its first rulemaking to consider new energy conservation standards or energy use standards for purposes of circulating air through duct work, as required under 42 U.S.C. 6295(f)(4)(D). DOE commonly refers to these products as "furnace fans." EPCA directs DOE to establish test procedures in conjunction with new 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 such fans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA) established energy conservation standards for certain classes of general service fluorescent lamps (GSFL) and incandescent reflector lamps (IRL), and directed DOE to conduct two cycles of rulemakings to determine if GSFL and IRL standards should be amended (42 U.S.C. 6295(i)(3) and (4)). DOE completed its first review and published amended standards in July 2009 (74 FR 34080, July 14, 2009). This rulemaking constitutes DOE's second review of energy conservation standards for GSFL and IRL.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Test Procedures for Electric Motors</RULE_TITLE>
        <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). DOE published 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) DOE is authorized to amend or establish new test procedures as appropriate for covered products including general service fluorescent lamps (GSFL), incandescent reflector lamps (IRL) and general service incandescent lamp (GSIL). DOE is conducting this review of GSFL, IRL and GSIL test procedures under 42 U.S.C. 6293(b) which specifically directs DOE to review and amend as appropriate test procedures for these products every seven years. Additionally, the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 amended EPCA to prescribe minimum rated lifetime requirements for certain GSIL that must be met by January 1, 2012. 42 U.S.C. 6295(i). EPCA states that compliance with energy conservation standards shall be determined using test procedures established by DOE. 42 U.S.C. 6295(s).  DOE has not prescribed a test procedure for measuring lamp lifetime for GSILs, so this rule establishes such a procedure.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, directs the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to establish energy conservation standards for certain commercial and industrial equipment, including commercial heating, air-conditioning, and water-heating products.  The statute also requires that each time the corresponding consensus standard--the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE)/ Illuminating Engineering Society of North America Standard 90.1--is amended by the industry, DOE must assess whether there is a need to update the uniform national energy conservation standards for the same equipment covered under EPCA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is a determination as to whether the 2012 edition of the International Code Council (ICC International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)(2012 IECC or 2012 edition) would achieve greater energy efficiency in low-rise residential buildings than the 2009 IECC.  Upon publication of an affirmative final determination, States would be required to file certification statements to DOE that they have reviewed the provisions of their residential building code regarding energy efficiency and made a determination as to whether to update their code to meet or exceed the 2012 IECC. Additionally, this Notice provides guidance to States on how the codes have changed from previous versions, how to submit certifications, and how to request extensions of the deadline to submit certifications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 310 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to require that DOE publish a final rule no later than January 1, 2015, determining whether to amend the standards for dishwashers manufactured on or after January 1, 2018.  On July 30, 2010, DOE received a Consensus Agreement from joint petitioners, including manufacturers, energy and environmental advocates, and consumer groups, containing proposed dishwasher standards that would have a compliance date of January 1, 2013.  DOE is considering the proposed standards from the Consensus Agreement in this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Department of Energy proposes to issue regulations under section 934 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 to establish a retrospective risk pooling program by which nuclear suppliers will reimburse the United States government for any contribution it is obliged to make to an international supplementary fund under the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage (CSC) in the event of certain nuclear incidents not covered by the Price-Anderson Act. The risk pooling program will involve a premium to be assessed retrospectively (i.e., a deferred payment) based on a risk-informed formula taking into account specified risk factors and exclusionary criteria to provide a fair and equitable proration of costs among U.S. nuclear suppliers benefited by the CSC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DOE proposes to move the provisions of 10 CFR part 603 ("Technology Investment Agreements") governing the use of "other transaction" (OT) agreements to new 10 CFR part 650 ("Other Transaction Agreements") within new subchapter J ("Other Transactions") of chapter II, title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.  DOE also proposes to delete miscellaneous references to 10 CFR part 600 from the provisions governing the use of OT agreements and incorporate the relevant requirements from 10 CFR part 600 into the new 10 CFR part 650.   DOE also proposes to delete the provisions of 10 CFR part 603 that govern the use of a special type of cooperative agreement with more flexible provisions tailored for commercial firms (as distinct from a cooperative agreement subject to all of the requirements of 10 CFR part 600).  DOE will consider incorporating provisions allowing the use of special cooperative agreements into 10 CFR part 600 in a future rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

DOE has identified regulatory provisions that may be subject to section 939A(b), regulations implementing the loan guarantee program created by title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and regulations implementing the standby support program for certain nuclear plant delays promulgated pursuant to section 638 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.  As a consequence of its review, DOE is initiating a rulemaking to consider modifying these regulatory provisions pursuant to section 939A.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, spells out the requirements to grant access and to develop the protection requirements for Restricted Data (RD) and Formerly Restricted Data (FRD) to the Department of Energy.  The current policy only contains requirements for licensees. The purpose of this revision is to provide language relating to Other Government Agencies (OGA) and their access to and safeguarding requirements for RD and FRD.  This will better fulfill the intent of the policy and provide greater assurances that licensees and OGAs have clear and concise guidance as it pertains to RD.  Because of the sensitivity of this type of information, failure to protect this information from unauthorized individuals could be much more costly and detrimental to National Security than implementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. 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" was revised to "Protective Force Personnel Medical, Physical Fitness, Training, and Access Authorization Standards" to more accurately reflect the contents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vaccine Injury Table:  Rotavirus Vaccine Within the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would add intussusception to the Vaccine Injury Table under the category of rotavirus vaccines.  The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program allows a family of a child, a person, or their estate to receive monetary compensation if they experience a vaccine-related injury or death after receiving a covered vaccine.  Currently, no adverse event is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table for rotavirus vaccines.  However, recent data point to a small risk of intussusception, and the rule would amend the Vaccine Injury Table to provide for this adverse event.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends regulations at 42 CFR part 6 (FTCA Coverage of Certain Grantees and Individuals) to include additional examples of FTCA-covered activities.  Recently, questions have arisen regarding the scope of FTCA regulations as they affect medical malpractice coverage for FTCA-deemed health centers and non-health center patients.  Section 6.6(e) of the Health Center FTCA Program regulations provides examples of situations within the scope of section 6.6(d), which authorizes FTCA medical malpractice coverage for non-health center patients.  These examples include certain community-wide interventions and hospital-related activities where the health center's health care practitioners will be covered for services provided to non-health center patients.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Privacy Act Exemption for the National Practitioner Data Bank</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule will exempt the system of records for the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) from certain provisions of the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a).  The exemption will be necessary when the two data banks, the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB) and the NPDB, merge as required by section 6403 of the Affordable Care Act.  As a result, the NPDB will include the investigative materials compiled for law enforcement purposes reported to the HIPDB.  The system of records for the HIPDB has an exemption (45 CFR 5b.11(b)(2)(ii)(F)) from certain provisions of the Privacy Act.  In order to maintain the exemption for the investigative materials, it is necessary to amend the regulatory language to expand the same privacy act exemptions for the HIPDB to the NPDB.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rulemaking committee was unable to reach the consensus required to produce an interim final rule for the Secretary's review and approval.

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Labeling: Serving Sizes of Foods That Can Reasonably Be Consumed in One Eating Occasion; Dual Column Labeling; and Modifying the Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is proposing to amend its labeling regulations for foods to provide updated Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACCs) for certain food categories. If finalized, this rule would provide consumers with nutrition information based on the amount of food that is customarily consumed, which would assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices. In addition to updating certain RACCs, FDA is also considering amending the definition of single-serving containers and providing for dual-column labeling, which would provide nutrition information per serving and per container, for certain containers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA will be proposing a rule to add the common cold indication to certain over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamine active ingredients. This proposed rule is the result of collaboration under the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC).  The objectives of the RCC monograph alignment working group are to conduct a pilot program to develop aligned monograph elements for a selected over-the-counter (OTC) drug category (e.g., aligned directions, warnings, indications, and conditions of use) and subsequently, develop recommendations to determine the feasibility of an ongoing mechanism for alignment in review and adoption of these OTC drug monograph elements.]]></ABSTRACT>

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. The first action addresses acetaminophen safety. The second action addresses products marketed for children under 2 years old and weight- and age-based dosing for children's products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <LEGAL_DLINE_OVERALL_DESC>The legal deadline for FDA under the Food Safety Modernization Act to promulgate proposed regulations is October 2011 for certain requirements, with a final rule to publish 9 months after the close of the comment period. The Food Safety Modernization Act mandates that FDA promulgate final regulations for certain other provisions by July 2012.

        <RPLAN_INFO>
            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Regulatory oversight of the animal food industry has traditionally been limited and focused on a few known safety issues, so there could be potential human and animal health problems that remain unaddressed. The massive pet food recall due to adulteration of pet food with melamine and cyanuric acid in 2007 is a prime example. The actions taken by two protein suppliers in China affected a large number of pet food suppliers in the United States and created a nationwide problem.  By the time the cause of the problem was identified, melamine- and cyanuric acid-contaminated ingredients resulted in the adulteration of millions of individual servings of pet food.  Congress passed FSMA, which the President signed into law on January 4, 2011 (Pub. L. 111-353). Section 103 of FSMA amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) by adding section 418 (21 U.S.C. 350g) Hazard Analysis and Risk Based Preventive Controls. In enacting FSMA, Congress sought to improve the safety of food in the United States by taking a risk-based approach to food safety, emphasizing prevention. Section 418 of the FD&C Act requires owners, operators, or agents in charge of food facilities to develop and implement a written plan that describes and documents how their facility will implement the hazard analysis and preventive controls required by this section.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA's authority for issuing this rule is provided in FSMA (Pub. L. 111-353), which amended the FD&C Act by establishing section 418, which directed FDA to publish implementing regulations. FSMA also amended section 301 of the FD&C Act to add 301(uu) that states the operation of a facility that manufactures, processes, packs, or holds food for sale in the United States, if the owner, operator, or agent in charge of such facility is not in compliance with section 418 of the FD&C Act, is a prohibited act. 

FDA is also issuing this rule under the certain provisions of section 402 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 342) regarding adulterated food.

In addition, section 701(a) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 371(a)) authorizes the Agency to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Food Safety Modernization Act requires this rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The benefits of the proposed rule would result from fewer cases of contaminated animal food ingredients or finished animal food products. Discovering contaminated food ingredients before they are used in a finished product would reduce the number of recalls of contaminated animal food products. Benefits would include reduced medical treatment costs for animals, reduced loss of market value of live animals, reduced loss of animal companionship, and reduced loss in value of animal food products. More stringent requirements for animal food manufacturing would maintain public confidence in the safety of animal foods and protect animal and human health. FDA lacks sufficient data to quantify the benefits of the proposed rule. 

The compliance costs of the proposed rule would result from the additional labor and capital required to perform the hazard analyses, write and implement the preventive controls, monitor and verify the preventive controls, take corrective actions if preventive controls fail to prevent feeds from becoming contaminated, and implement requirements from the operations and practices section.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[FDA is proposing this rule to provide greater assurance that food intended for animals is safe and will not cause illness or injury to animals. This rule would implement a risk-based, preventive controls food safety system intended to prevent animal food containing hazards, which may cause illness or injury to animals or humans, from entering into the food supply. The rule would apply to domestic and imported animal food (including raw materials and ingredients). Fewer cases of animal food contamination would reduce the risk of serious illness and death to animals.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded.  After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed.  This action will propose changes to the final monograph to address safety and efficacy issues associated with pediatric cough and cold products.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FDA is taking this action to meet the requirements of the FSMA and to address the food safety challenges associated with fresh produce and thereby protect the public health.   Data indicate that between 1973 and 1997, outbreaks of foodborne illness in the U.S. associated with fresh produce increased in absolute numbers and as a proportion of all reported foodborne illness outbreaks. The Agency issued general good agricultural practice guidelines for fresh fruits and vegetables over a decade ago.  Incorporating prevention-oriented public health principles and incorporating what we have learned in the past decade into a regulation is a critical step in establishing standards for the production and harvesting of produce and reducing the foodborne illness attributed to fresh produce.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA is relying on the amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), provided by section 105 of the Food Safety Modernization Act (codified primarily in section 419 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 350h)). FDA's legal basis also derives in part from sections 402(a)(3), 402(a)(4), and 701(a) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 342(a)(3), 342(a)(4), and 371(a)). FDA also intends to rely on section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 264), which gives FDA authority to promulgate regulations to control the spread of communicable disease.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Section 105 of the Food Safety Modernization Act requires FDA to conduct this rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA estimates that the costs to more than 300,000 domestic and foreign producers and packers of fresh produce from the proposal would include one-time costs (e.g., new tools and equipment) and recurring costs (e.g., monitoring, training, recordkeeping). FDA anticipates that the benefits would be a reduction in foodborne illness and deaths associated with fresh produce. Monetized estimates of costs and benefits are not available at this time.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This regulation would directly and materially advance the Federal Government's substantial interest in reducing the risks for illness and death associated with foodborne infections associated with the consumption of fresh produce. Less restrictive and less comprehensive approaches have not been sufficiently effective in reducing the problems addressed by this regulation. FDA anticipates that the regulation would lead to a significant decrease in foodborne illness associated with fresh produce consumed in the U.S.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[FDA is taking this action to meet the requirements of the FSMA and to better address changes that have occurred in the food industry and thereby protect public health.

FDA last updated its food CGMP regulations for the manufacturing, packing, or holding of human food in 1986.  Modernizing these food CGMP regulations to address risk-based preventive controls and more explicitly address issues such as environmental pathogens, food allergens, mandatory employee training, and sanitation of food contact surfaces, would be a critical step in raising the standards for food production and distribution.  By amending 21 CFR 110 to modernize good manufacturing practices, the Agency could focus the attention of food processors on measures that have been proven to significantly reduce the risk of foodborne illness.  An amended regulation also would allow the Agency to better focus its regulatory efforts on ensuring industry compliance with controls that have a significant food safety impact.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[FDA is relying on section 103 of the FSMA.  FDA is also relying on sections 402(a)(3), (a)(4) and 701(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 342(a)(3), (a)(4), and 371(a)). Under section 402(a)(3) of the FD&C Act, a food is adulterated if it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance, or if it is otherwise unfit for food.  Under section 402(a)(4), a food is adulterated if it has been prepared, packed, or held under unsanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with filth or may have been rendered injurious to health.  Under section 701(a) of the FD&C Act, FDA is authorized to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the FD&C Act.  FDA's legal basis also derives from section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 264), which gives FDA authority to promulgate regulations to control the spread of communicable disease.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[An alternative to this rulemaking is not to update the CGMP regulations, and instead issue separate regulations to implement the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA estimates that the costs from the proposal to domestic and foreign producers and packers of processed foods would include new one-time costs (e.g., adoption of written food safety plans, setting up training programs, implementing allergen controls, and purchasing new tools and equipment) and recurring costs (e.g., auditing and monitoring suppliers of sensitive raw materials and ingredients, training employees, and completing and maintaining records used throughout the facility).  FDA anticipates that the benefits would be a reduced risk of foodborne illness and death from processed foods and a reduction in the number of safety-related recalls.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This regulation will directly and materially advance the Federal Government's substantial interest in reducing the risks for illness and death associated with foodborne infections.  Less restrictive and less comprehensive approaches have not been effective in reducing the problems addressed by this regulation. The regulation will lead to a significant decrease in foodborne illness in the U.S.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) provides the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to regulate cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco. 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" to be subject to the FD&C Act and would specify additional restrictions.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The proposed rule is needed to help improve the safety of food that is imported into the United States.  Imported food products have increased dramatically over the last several decades.  Data indicate that about 15% of the U.S. food supply is imported.   FSMA provides the Agency with additional tools and authorities to help ensure that imported foods are safe for U.S. consumers. Included among these tools and authorities is a requirement that importers perform risk-based foreign supplier verification activities to verify that the food they import is produced in compliance with U.S. requirements, as applicable, and is not adulterated or misbranded.  This proposed rule on the content of foreign supplier verification programs (FSVPs) sets forth the proposed steps that food importers would be required to take to fulfill their responsibility to ensure the safety of the food they bring into this country.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 805(c) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 384a(c)) directs FDA, not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of FSMA, to issue regulations on the content of FSVPs.  Section 805(c)(4) states that verification activities under such programs may include monitoring records for shipments, lot-by-lot certification of compliance, annual onsite inspections, checking the hazard analysis and risk-based preventive control plans of foreign suppliers, and periodically testing and sampling shipments of imported products.  Section 301(b) of FSMA amends section 301 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 331) by adding section 301(zz), which designates as a prohibited act the importation or offering for importation of a food if the importer (as defined in section 805) does not have in place an FSVP in compliance with section 805.  In addition, section 301(c) of FSMA amends section 801(a) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 381(a)) by stating that an article of food being imported or offered for import into the United States shall be refused admission if it appears from an examination of a sample of such an article or otherwise that the importer is in violation of section 805.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[We are considering a range of alternative approaches to the requirements for foreign supplier verification activities. These might include: (1) Establishing a general requirement that importers determine and conduct whatever verification activity that would adequately address the risks associated with the foods they import; (2) allowing importers to choose from a list of possible verification mechanisms, such as the activities listed in section 805(c)(4) of the FD&C Act; (3) requiring importers to conduct particular verification activities for certain types of foods or risks (e.g., for high-risk foods) but allowing flexibility in verification activities for other types of foods or risks; and (4) specifying use of a particular verification activity for each particular kind of food or risk. To the extent possible while still ensuring that verification activities are adequate to ensure that foreign suppliers are producing food in accordance with U.S. requirements, we will seek to give importers the flexibility to choose verification procedures that are appropriate to adequately address the risks associated with the importation of a particular food.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[We are still estimating the cost and benefits for this proposed rule.  However, the available information suggests that the costs will be significant.  Our preliminary analysis of FY10 OASIS data suggests that this rule will cover about 60,000 importers, 240,000 unique combinations of importers and foreign suppliers, and 540,000 unique combinations of importers, products, and foreign suppliers.  These numbers imply that provisions that require activity for each importer, each unique combination of importer and foreign supplier, or each unique combination of importer, product, and foreign supplier will generate significant costs.   An example of a provision linked to combinations of importers and foreign suppliers would be a requirement to conduct a verification activity, such as an onsite audit, under certain conditions.  The cost of onsite audits will depend in part on whether foreign suppliers can provide the same onsite audit results to different importers or whether every importer will need to take some action with respect to each of their foreign suppliers.  The benefits of this proposed rule will consist of the reduction of adverse health events linked to imported food that could result from increased compliance with applicable requirements.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[As stated above, about 15 percent of the U.S. food supply is imported, and many of these imported foods are high-risk commodities.  According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, about 48 million Americans get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases.  From July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008, FDA oversaw 40 recalls of imported foods that were so contaminated that the Agency deemed them to be an imminent threat.  We expect that the adoption of FSVPs by food importers will lead to a significant reduction to the threat to public health posed by unsafe imported food.]]></RISKS>

        <RPLAN_INFO>
            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The use of accredited third-party auditors to certify food imports will assist in ensuring the safety of food from foreign origin entering U.S. commerce.  Accredited third-party auditors auditing foreign facilities can increase FDA's information about foreign facilities that FDA may not have adequate resources to inspect in a particular year. FDA will establish identified standards creating overall uniformity to complete the task.  Audits that result in issuance of facility certificates will provide FDA information about the compliance status of the facility.  Additionally, auditors will be required to submit audit reports that may be reviewed by FDA for purposes of compliance assessment and work planning.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 808 of the FD&C Act directs FDA to establish, not later than 2 years after the date of enactment, a system for the recognition of accreditation bodies that accredit third-party auditors, who in turn certify that their eligible entities meet the requirements. To directly accredit third-party auditors should none be identified and recognized by the 2-year date of enactment, FDA is to obtain a list of all accredited third-party auditors and their agents from recognized accreditation bodies, and determine requirements for regulatory audit reports while avoiding unnecessary duplication of efforts and costs.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FSMA described in detail the framework for, and requirements of, the accredited third-party auditor program. Alternatives include certain oversight activities required of recognized accreditation bodies that accredit third-party auditors, as distinguished from third-party auditors directly accredited by FDA. Another alternative relates to the nature of the required standards and the degree to which those standards are prescriptive or flexible.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The benefits of the proposed rule would result from fewer cases of unsafe or misbranded food entering U.S. commerce.  Additional benefits include the increased flow of credible information to FDA regarding the compliance status of foreign firms and their foods that are ultimately offered for import Into the United States, which information in turn would inform FDA's work planning for inspection of foreign food facilities and might result in a signal of possible problems with a particular firm or its products, and with sufficient signals, might raise questions about the rigor of the food safety regulatory system of the country of origin.

The compliance costs of the proposed rule would result from the additional labor and capital required of accreditation bodies seeking FDA recognition and of third-party auditors seeking accreditation to the extent that will involve the assembling of information for an application unique to the FDA third-party program.  The compliance costs associated with certification will be accounted for separately under the costs associated with participation in the voluntary qualified importer program and the costs associated with mandatory certification for high-risk food imports.  The third-party program is funded through revenue neutral-user fees, which will be developed by FDA through rulemaking.  User fee costs will be accounted for in that rulemaking.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[FDA is proposing this rule to provide greater assurance the food offered for import into the United States is safe and will not cause injury or illness to animals or humans. The rule would implement a program for accrediting third-party auditors to conduct food safety audits of foreign food entities, including registered foreign food facilities, and based on the findings of the regulatory audit, to issue certifications to foreign food entities found to be in compliance with FDA requirements. The certifications could be used by importers seeking to participate in the Voluntary Qualified Importer Program for expedited review and entry of product and would be a means to provide assurance of compliance as required by FDA based on risk-related considerations. The rule would apply to any foreign or domestic accreditation body seeking FDA recognition, any foreign or domestic third-party auditor seeking accreditation, any registered foreign food facility or other foreign food entity subject to a food safety audit (including a regulatory audit conducted for purposes of certification), and any importer seeking to participate in the Voluntary Qualified Importer Program. Fewer cases of unsafe or misbranded food entering U.S. commerce would reduce the risk of serious illness and death to humans and animals.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Postmarketing Reporting Requirements Discontinuance or Interruption in Supply of Certain Products (Drug Shortages) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDASIA amends the FD&C Act to require manufacturers of certain drug products to report to FDA discontinuances or interruptions in the production of these products 6 months prior to the discontinuance or interruption, or if that is not possible, as soon as practicable.  Manufacturers must notify FDA of a discontinuance or interruption in the manufacture of drugs that are life-supporting, life-sustaining or intended for use in the prevention or treatment of a debilitating disease or condition.  FDASIA requires FDA to define in regulation the terms "life-supporting," "life-sustaining," and "intended for use in the prevention or treatment of a debilitating disease or condition," and to distribute, to the maximum extent practical, information on the discontinuation or interruption in the manufacture of these products to appropriate organizations.  FDASIA also amends the FD&C Act to include other provisions related to drug shortages, and to require FDA to adopt a final regulation implementing amended section 506C not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of FDASIA.  When finalized, this rule will implement the drug shortages provisions of FDASIA.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), Public Law No. 112-144 (July 9, 2012), amends the FD&C Act to require manufacturers of certain drug products to report to FDA discontinuances or interruptions in the production of these products that are likely to meaningfully disrupt supply 6 months prior to the discontinuance or interruption, or if that is not possible, as soon as practicable.  FDASIA also amends the FD&C Act to include other provisions related to drug shortages.  Drug shortages have a significant impact on patient access to critical medications and the number of drug shortages has risen steadily since 2005 to a high of 251 shortages in 2011.  Notification to FDA of a shortage or an issue that may lead to a shortage is critical--FDA was able to prevent more than 100 shortages in the first three quarters of 2012 due to early notification.  This rule will implement the FDASIA drug shortages provisions, allowing FDA to more quickly and efficiently respond to shortages, thereby improving patient access to critical medications and promoting public health.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Sections 506C, 506C-1, 506D, 506E, and 506F of the FD&C Act, as amended by title X (Drug Shortages) of FDASIA.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The principal alternatives assessed were to provide guidance on voluntary notification to FDA or to continue to rely on the requirements under the current interim final rule on notification.  These alternatives would not meet the statutory requirement to issue the final regulation required by title X, section 1001 of FDASIA.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The rule would increase the modest reporting costs associated with notifying FDA of discontinuances or interruptions in the production of certain drug products. The rule would generate benefits in the form of the value of public health gains through more rapid and effective FDA responses to potential or actual drug shortages that otherwise would limit patient access to critical medications.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Drug shortages can significantly impede patient access to critical, sometimes life-saving, medications.  Drug shortages, therefore, can pose a serious risk to public health and patient safety.  This rule will require early notification of potential shortages, enabling FDA to more quickly and effectively respond to potential or actual drug shortages that otherwise would limit patient access to critical medications.]]></RISKS>

        <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 clarify that a combination product is subject to the reporting requirements associated with the type of marketing application under which the product is approved, licensed, or cleared, and to certain additional, specified reporting requirements depending on the types of constituent parts (drug, device, or biological product) of which it is comprised. The regulation would ensure the consistency and appropriateness of postmarket safety reporting for combination products while minimizing duplicative reporting requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is amending its postmarketing medical device reporting (MDR) regulations to require manufacturers and importers to submit electronic reports of individual medical device adverse events to the agency. Electronic submission of MDRs will improve the agency's systems for collecting and analyzing postmarket MDRs.

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[A unique device identification system will help reduce medical errors; will allow FDA, the healthcare community, and industry to more rapidly review and organize adverse event reports; identify problems relating to a particular device (even down to a particular lot or batch, range of serial numbers, or range of manufacturing or expiration dates); and thereby allow for more rapid, effective, corrective actions that focus sharply on the specific devices that are of concern.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 519(f) of the FD&C Act (added by sec. 226 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007) directs the Secretary to promulgate regulations establishing a unique device identification (UDI) system for medical devices, requiring the label of devices to bear a unique identifier that will adequately identify the device through its distribution and use.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA considered several alternatives that would allow certain requirements of the proposed rule to vary, such as the required elements of a UDI and the scope of affected devices.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[FDA estimates that the affected industry would incur one-time and recurring costs, including administrative costs, to change and print labels that include the required elements of a UDI, costs to purchase equipment to print and verify the UDI, and costs to purchase software and integrate and validate the UDI into existing IT systems.  FDA anticipates that implementation of a UDI system would help improve the efficiency and accuracy of medical device recalls and medical device adverse event reporting. The proposed rule would also standardize how medical devices are identified and contribute to future potential public health benefits of initiatives aimed at optimizing the use of automated systems in healthcare.  Most of these benefits, however, require complementary developments and innovations in the private and public sectors.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[This rule is intended to substantially eliminate existing obstacles to the consistent identification of medical devices used in the United States.  UDI will allow FDA to more rapidly and effectively identify and aggregate adverse event reports and is central to improvement in FDA's medical device postmarket surveillance plan.

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[On March 23, 2010, the Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148) was signed into law.  Section 4205 amended 403(q)(5) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) by, among other things, creating new clause (H) to require that vending machine operators, who own or operate 20 or more machines, disclose calories for certain food items. FDA has the authority to issue this rule under sections 403(q)(5)(H) and 701(a) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 343(q)(5)(H), and 371(a)).  Section 701(a) of the FD&C Act vests the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and, by delegation, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with the authority to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the FD&C Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Section 4205 of the Affordable Care Act requires the Secretary (and by delegation, the FDA) to establish by regulation requirements for calorie labeling of articles of food sold from covered vending machines.  Therefore, there are no alternatives to rulemaking.  FDA has analyzed alternatives that may reduce the burden of the rulemaking, including analyzing the benefits and costs of:  Restricting the flexibility of the format for calorie disclosure, lengthening the compliance time, and extending the coverage of the rule to bulk vending machines without selection buttons.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Any vending machine operator operating fewer than 20 machines may voluntarily choose to be covered by the national standard.  It is anticipated that vending machine operators that own or operate 20 or more vending machines will bear costs associated with adding calorie information to vending machines.  FDA estimates that the total cost of complying with section 4205 of the Affordable Care Act and this rulemaking will be approximately $25.8 million initially, with a recurring cost of approximately $24 million.

Because comprehensive national data for the effects of vending machine labeling do not exist, FDA has not quantified the benefits associated with section 4205 of the Affordable Care Act and this rulemaking.  Some studies have shown that some consumers consume fewer calories when calorie content information is displayed at the point of purchase.  Consumers will benefit from having this important nutrition information to assist them in making healthier choices when consuming food away from home.  Given the very high costs associated with obesity and its associated health risks, FDA estimates that if 0.02 percent of the adult obese population reduces energy intake by at least 100 calories per week, then the benefits of section 4205 of the Affordable Care Act and this rulemaking will be at least as large as the costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Americans now consume an estimated one-third of their total calories from foods prepared outside the home and spend almost half of their food dollars on such foods.

Therefore, there are no alternatives to rulemaking.

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Chain restaurants and similar retail food establishments covered by the Federal law operating in local jurisdictions that impose different nutrition labeling requirements will benefit from having a uniform national standard. Any restaurant or similar retail food establishment with fewer than 20 locations may voluntarily choose to be covered by the national standard.  It is anticipated that chain restaurants with 20 or more locations will bear costs for adding nutrition information to menus and menu boards.  FDA estimates that the total cost of section 4205 and this rulemaking will be approximately $80 million, annualized over 10 years, with a low annualized estimate of approximately $33 million and a high annualized estimate of approximately $125 million over 10 years.  These costs include an initial cost of approximately $320 million with an annually recurring cost of $45 million.

Dietary intake data have shown that obese Americans consume over 100 calories per meal more when eating food away from home rather than food at home.  This rule will provide consumers information about the nutritional content of food to enable them to make healthier food choices and may help mitigate the trend of increasing obesity in America.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the packaging and labeling control provisions of the current good manufacturing practice regulations for human and veterinary drug products by limiting the application of special control procedures for the use of cut labeling to immediate container labels, individual unit cartons, or multiunit cartons containing immediate containers that are not packaged in individual unit cartons.  The 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>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 regulations regarding food additives, color additives, and animal drugs of carcinogenic concern used in food-producing animals. No food additive, color additive, or animal drug can be deemed safe if it is found to induce cancer in man or animals. An exception can be made for animal drugs and additives used in food producing animals if it can be found that: (1) An animal feed additive, color additive, or animal drug will not adversely affect the animal, and (2) no residue of the animal feed additive, color additive, or animal drug will be found in any edible portion of that animal when residues are measured according to an approved regulatory method.  

FDA regulations impose requirements for the sensitivity of the approved regulatory method for testing residues of carcinogenic compounds in edible animal tissues.  The regulatory method must be sensitive enough to detect levels of carcinogenic compound that corresponds to the level of the compound that may be consumed daily by the human consumer with no significant increase in the risk of cancer. The sensitivity is calculated by determining the concentration of residue of carcinogenic concern in the total diet that can safely be consumed by humans over a lifetime.  This concentration is termed the So.  The So is currently defined by regulation primarily as the concentration of the carcinogenic compound that corresponds to a maximum lifetime risk to 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.  

These changes reflect advances in scientific technology.  Other clarifying and conforming changes are also being proposed.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule sets forth standards related to EHB and AV consistent with the Affordable Care Act.  HHS believes that the provisions that are included in this rule are necessary to fulfill the Secretary's obligations under sections 1302 and 1311 of the Affordable Care Act.  Establishing specific approaches for defining EHB and calculating AV will bring needed clarity for States, issuers, and other stakeholders.  Absent the provisions outlined in this rule, States, issuers, and consumers would face significant uncertainty about how coverage of EHB should be defined and evaluated.  Similarly, failing to specify a method for calculating AV could result in significant inconsistency across States and issuers.  Finally, establishing a clear timeline for potential qualified health plans to become accredited is essential to successful issuer participation in Federally-facilitated Exchanges.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[HHS anticipates that the provisions of this rule will assure consumers that they will have health insurance coverage for essential health benefits, and significantly increase consumers' ability to compare health plans, make an informed selection by promoting consistency across covered benefits and levels of coverage, and more efficiently purchase coverage.  This rule ensures that consumers can shop on the basis of issues that are important to them such as price, network physicians, and quality, and be confident that the plan they choose does not include unexpected coverage gaps, like hidden benefit exclusions.  It also allows for some flexibility for plans to promote innovation in benefit design.  HHS anticipates that the provisions of this proposed regulation will likely result in increased costs related to increased utilization of health care services by people receiving coverage for previously uncovered benefits.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[If this regulation is not published, the Exchanges will not become operational by January 1, 2014, thereby violating the statute.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule identifies and proposes reforms in Medicare regulations that CMS has identified as unnecessary, obsolete, or excessively burdensome on health care providers and beneficiaries.  This proposed rule would increase the ability of health care professionals to devote resources to improving patient care, by eliminating or reducing requirements that impede quality patient care or that divert resources away from providing high quality patient care.  This is one of several rules that CMS is proposing to achieve regulatory reforms under Executive Order 13563 on Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review and the Department's Plan for Retrospective Review of Existing Rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[In Executive Order 13563, the President recognized the importance of a streamlined, effective, efficient regulatory framework designed to promote economic growth, innovation, job creation, and competitiveness.  To achieve a more robust and effective regulatory framework, the President has directed each executive agency to establish a plan for ongoing retrospective review of existing significant regulations to identify those rules that can be eliminated as obsolete, unnecessary, burdensome, or counterproductive or that can be modified to be more effective, efficient, flexible, and streamlined.  This rule continues our direct response to the President's instructions in Executive Order 13563 by reducing outmoded or unnecessarily burdensome rules, and thereby increasing the ability of health care entities to devote resources to providing high quality patient care.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The provisions that are included in this rule are necessary to implement the requirements of Executive Order 13563, "Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[To date, nearly 90 specific reforms have been identified and scheduled for action. These reforms impact hospitals, physicians, home health agencies, ambulance providers, clinical labs, skilled nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, managed care plans, Medicare Advantage organizations, and States.  Many of these reforms will be included in rules that relate to particular categories of regulations or types of providers.  Other reforms are being implemented without the need for regulations.  This rule includes reforms that do not fit directly in other rules scheduled for publication.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rule makes several changes that create measurable monetary savings for providers and suppliers, while others create less tangible savings of time and administrative burden.  We anticipate that the provider industry and health professionals will welcome the changes and reductions in burden.  We also expect that health professionals will experience increased efficiencies and resources to appropriately devote to improving patient care, increasing accessibility to care, and reducing associated health care costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[If this regulation is not published, outdated and obsolete regulations would remain in place, thereby violating the Executive Order.  Proposals to remove excessively burdensome requirements and increased efficiencies in patient care would not be achieved.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule would provide additional guidance for several programs including risk adjustment, reinsurance, and risk corridors.  The purpose of these programs is to protect health insurance issuers from the negative effects of adverse selection and to protect consumers from increases in premiums due to uncertainty for issuers. The rule would also provide new information on the cost-sharing reductions (CSRs) and advanced premium tax credits (APTCs) programs.  These programs provide financial support for purchasing insurance and increase access to care for individuals through the Affordable Insurance Exchanges.  They also provide assistance on user fees and administrative fees used to implement the Federally-facilitated Exchange and the risk adjustment and reinsurance programs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The provisions that are included in this rule are necessary to implement the requirements of sections 1341, 1342, 1343, 1401, 1402, 1411, and 1412 of the Affordable Care Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[None.  This is a statutory requirement.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Payments through reinsurance, risk adjustment, and risk corridors would reduce the increased risk of financial loss that health insurance issuers might otherwise expect to incur in 2014 due to market reforms such as guaranteed issue and the elimination of medical underwriting.  These payments would reduce the risk to the issuer and the issuer could pass on a reduced risk premium to enrollees.  Administrative costs would vary across States and health insurance issuers depending on the sophistication of technical infrastructure and prior experience with data collection and risk adjustment.  States and issuers that already have systems in place for data collection and reporting would have reduced administrative costs. 

Federal financial assistance for enrollees through the CSR and APTC programs would enable many low- and moderate-income individuals to purchase health insurance.  The user fees and administrative fees would be charged on a per capita basis to issuers of certain plans.  Those fees would be used to administer the Federally-facilitated Exchange and the HHS-operated risk adjustment and reinsurance programs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[If this regulation is not published, the Exchanges may be at risk for not becoming fully operational by January 1, 2014, thereby delaying the benefits of health insurance coverage to millions of Americans.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>CLIA Programs and HIPAA Privacy Rule; Patients&apos; Access to Laboratory Test Reports (CMS-2319-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This CMS-CDC-OCR rule amends the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) regulations to specify that, upon a patient's request, the laboratory may provide access to completed test reports that, using the laboratory's authentication process, can be identified as belonging to that patient.  Subject to conforming amendments, the rule retains the existing provisions that provide for release of test reports to authorized persons and, if applicable, the individuals (or their personal representative) responsible for using the test reports and, in the case of reference laboratories, the laboratory that initially requested the test.  In addition, this rule also amends the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule to provide individuals the right to receive their test reports directly from laboratories by removing the exceptions for CLIA-certified laboratories and CLIA-exempt laboratories from the provision that provides individuals with the right of access to their protected health information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Survey and Enforcement Requirements for Home Health Agencies (CMS-3256-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Review and Approval Process for Section 1115  Demonstrations (CMS-2325-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will implement provisions of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 that set forth transparency and public notice procedures for experimental, pilot, and demonstration projects approved under section 1115 of the Social Security Act relating to Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).  This rule will increase the degree to which information about Medicaid and CHIP demonstration applications and approved demonstration projects is publicly available and promote greater transparency in the review and approval of demonstrations.  It will also codify existing statutory requirements pertaining to seeking advice from Indian health care providers and urban Indian organizations for section 1115 demonstration projects, and for the first time impose as regulatory requirements tribal consultation standards that were previously only published as guidance documents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Child Care and Development Fund Reforms to Support Child Development and Working Families</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would provide the first comprehensive update of Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) regulations since 1998.  It would make changes in four key areas:  (1) Improving health and safety; (2) improving the quality of child care; (3) establishing family-friendly policies; and (4) strengthening program integrity.  The rule seeks to retain much of the flexibility afforded to States, Territories, and Tribes consistent with the nature of a block grant.  The changes would update the regulation to reflect:  current research and knowledge about the early care and education sector; state innovations in policies and practices over the past decade; and increased recognition that high quality child care both supports work for low-income parents and promotes children's learning and healthy development.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The CCDF program has far-reaching implications for America's poorest children.  It provides child care assistance to 1.7 million children from nearly 1 million low-income working families and families who are attending school or job training.  Half of the children served are living at or below poverty level.  In addition, children who receive CCDF are cared for alongside children who do not receive CCDF, by approximately 570,000 participating child care providers, some of whom lack basic assurances needed to ensure children are safe, healthy, and learning.   

Since 1996, a body of research has demonstrated the importance of the early years on brain development and has shown that high quality, consistent child care can positively impact later success in school and life.  This is especially true for low-income children who face a school readiness and achievement gap and can benefit the most from high quality early learning environments.  In light of this research, many States, Territories, and tribes, working collaboratively with the Federal Government, have taken important steps over the last 15 years to make the CCDF program more child-focused and family-friendly; however, implementation of these evidence-informed practices is uneven across the country and critical gaps remain. 

This regulatory action is needed in order to increase accountability in the CCDF program by ensuring that all children receiving federally-funded child care assistance are in safe, quality programs that both support their parent's labor market participation, and help children develop the tools and skills they need to reach their full potential.
  
A major focus of this proposed rule is to raise the bar on quality by establishing a floor of health and safety standards for child care paid for with Federal funds.  National surveys have demonstrated that most parents logically assume that their child care providers have had a background check, have had training in child health and safety, and are regularly monitored.  However, State policies surrounding the training and oversight of child care providers vary widely.  In some States, many children receiving CCDF subsidies are cared for by providers that have little to no oversight with respect to compliance with basic standards designed to safeguard children's well-being, such as first-aid and safe sleep practices.  This can leave children in unsafe conditions, even as their care is being funded with public dollars.

In addition, the proposed rule empowers all parents who choose child care, regardless of whether they receive a Federal subsidy, with better information to make the best choices for their children. This includes providing parents with information about the quality of child care providers and making information about providers' compliance with health and safety regulations more transparent so that parents can be aware of the safety track record of providers when it's time to choose child care.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This proposed regulation is being issued under the authority granted to the Secretary of Health and Human Services by the CCDBG Act (42 U.S.C. 9858, et seq.) and Section 418 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 618).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Administration for Children and Families considered a range of approaches to improve early childhood care and education, including administrative and regulatory action.  ACF has taken administrative actions to recommend that States adopt stronger health and safety requirements and provided technical assistance to States.   Despite these efforts to assist States in making voluntary reforms, unacceptable health and safety lapses remain.  An alternative to this rule would be to take no regulatory action or to limit the nature of the required standards and the degree to which those standards are prescriptive.  ACF believes this rulemaking is the preferable alternative to ensure children's health and safety and promote their learning and development.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Changes in this proposed rule directly benefit children and parents who use CCDF assistance to pay for child care.  The 1.7 million children who are in child care funded by CCDF would have stronger protections for their health and safety, which addresses every parent's paramount concern.  All children in the care of a participating CCDF provider will be safer because that provider is more knowledgeable about health and safety issues.  In addition, the families of the 12 million children who are served in child care will benefit from having clear, accessible information about the safety compliance records and quality indicators of providers available to them as they make critical choices about where their children will be cared for while they work.  Provisions also will benefit child care providers by encouraging States to invest in high quality child care providers and professional development and to take into account quality when they determine child care payment rates.  

A primary reason for revising the CCDF regulations is to better reflect current State and local practices to improve the quality of child care.  Therefore, there are a significant number of States, Territories, and Tribes that have already implemented many of these policies.  The cost of implementing the changes in this proposed rule will vary depending on a State's specific situation.  ACF does not believe the costs of this proposed regulatory action would be economically significant and that the tremendous benefits to low-income children justify costs associated with this proposed rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Older Americans Act--Ombudsman Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would implement title VII, chapter 2, of the Older Americans Act, as amended, i.e., the Ombudsman Program.  Since 1992, the functions of this program have been delineated in 42 U.S.C. 3058g; however, regulations have not been promulgated for any title VII program. In the absence of regulatory guidance, there has been significant variation in the interpretation and implementation of these provisions among States.  Recent inquiries from States and an Administration on Aging compliance review in one State have highlighted the difficulty of determining State compliance in carrying out the program functions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking action will propose to 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[An interim final rule established for the Department of Homeland Security procedures for the enforcement of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of handicap, as it applies to programs or activities conducted by the Department. The rule establishes standards for what constitutes discrimination on the basis of mental or physical handicap, provides a definition for individuals with handicaps and qualified individuals with handicaps, and establishes a complaint mechanism for resolving allegations of discrimination. The Department will issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to propose to revise and update the interim final rule to reflect statutory changes and the current structure of the Department.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in consultation with the Department of State, has evaluated Taiwan for Visa Waiver Program (VWP) designation to ensure that it meets the requirements set forth in 217 of the INA, as amended by section 711 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, Public Law No. 110-53 (9/11 Act).  The Secretary has determined that Taiwan has satisfied the statutory requirements for initial VWP designation; therefore, the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of State and with reference to the Taiwan Relations Act 1979 (Pub. L. No. 96-8), has designated Taiwan for participation in the VWP. This final rule adds Taiwan to the list of countries authorized to participate in the VWP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Asylum and Withholding Definitions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend Department of Homeland Security regulations that govern asylum eligibility. The amendments focus on portions of the regulations that deal with the definitions of membership in a particular social group, the requirements for failure of State protection, and determinations about whether persecution is inflicted on account of a protected ground.  This rule codifies long-standing concepts of the definitions. It clarifies that gender can be a basis for membership in a particular social group. It also clarifies that a person who has suffered or fears domestic violence may under certain circumstances be eligible for asylum on that basis.  After the Board of Immigration Appeals published a decision on this issue in 1999, Matter of R-A-, Int. Dec. 3403 (BIA 1999), it became clear that the governing regulatory standards required clarification.  The Department of Justice began this regulatory initiative by publishing a proposed rule addressing these issues in 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

The Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), therefore, are amending their companion immigration regulations to specify that aliens who are inadmissible or deportable for recruitment or use of child soldiers are considered ineligible for asylum and withholding of removal due to the serious nonpolitical crime bar.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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

        <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 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Congress intended that the AC21 provisions allowing for extension of H-1B status past the 6th year for workers who are the beneficiaries of certain pending or approved employment-based immigrant petitions or labor certification applications would minimize the disruption to U.S. businesses employing H-1B workers that would result if such workers were required to leave the United States.  DHS recognizes that the limitation on the period of stay is not the only event that could cause an H-1B worker to leave his or her employment and cause disruption to the employer's business, inclusive of the loss of significant time and money invested in the immigration process.  The rule, as proposed by this NPRM, is intended to mitigate some of the negative economic effects of limiting H-1B households to one income during lengthy waiting periods in the adjustment of status process.  Also, this rule will encourage H-1B skilled workers to not abandon their adjustment application because their H-4 spouse is unable to work.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Sections 103(a), and 274A(h)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) generally authorize the Secretary to provide for employment authorization for aliens in the United States.  In addition, section 214(a)(1) of the INA authorizes the Secretary to prescribe regulations setting terms and conditions of admission of nonimmigrants.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[An alternative considered by DHS was to permit employer authorization for all H-4 dependent spouses.  In enacting AC21, Congress was especially concerned with avoiding the disruption to U.S. businesses caused by the required departure of H-1B workers (for whom the businesses intended to file employment-based immigrant visa petitions) upon the expiration of workers' maximum six-year period of authorized stay.  Although the inability of an H-4 spouse to work may cause an H-1B worker to consider departing from the United States prior to his or her eligibility for an H-1B extension. This alternative was rejected in favor of the proposed process to limit employment authorization to the smaller sub-class of H-4 nonimmigrants who intend to remain in the United States permanently and who have been granted an extension of H status under the provisions of AC21.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed changes would only impact spouses of H-1B workers who have been admitted or have extended their stay under the provisions of AC21.  The costs of the rule would stem from filing fees and the opportunity costs of time associated with filing an Application for Employment Authorization for those eligible H-4 spouses who decide to seek employment while residing in the United States.  Allowing certain H-4 spouses the opportunity to work would result in a negligible increase to the overall domestic labor force.

The benefits of this rule are retaining highly-skilled persons who intend to adjust to lawful permanent resident status. This is important when considering the contributions of these individuals to the U.S. economy, including advances in entrepreneurial and research and development endeavors, which are highly correlated with overall economic growth and job creation. In addition, the proposed amendments would bring U.S. immigration laws more in line with other countries that seek to attract skilled foreign workers.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Immigration Benefits Business Transformation: Nonimmigrants; Student and Exchange Visitor Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is amending its nonimmigrant regulations to enable U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to migrate from a paper-file based, non-integrated systems environment to an electronic, customer-focused, centralized case management environment for benefit processing.  This rulemaking, the second in a series of business transformation rules, primarily focuses on 8 CFR part 214, reorganizes and streamlines general information relating to nonimmigrant classifications, and relocates other information relating to specific, individual nonimmigrant classifications to a separate subpart for each major nonimmigrant classification.  DHS is making these amendments because part 214 contains more than 20 nonimmigrant classifications, and it has become very large and complex to navigate.  This regulation will provide the public with simpler, better organized regulatory requirements for each nonimmigrant classification and facilitate future revisions.  DHS is also finalizing four interim final rules affecting the H-1B (RIN 1615-AB68), H-1C (RIN 1615-AA35), K (RIN 1615-AA56), and V (RIN 1615-AA53) nonimmigrant classes.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements the provisions of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (TVPRA), Public Law 110-457, 122 Stat. 5074 (Dec. 23, 2008) relating to unaccompanied alien children seeking asylum. Specifically, the rule proposes to amend Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations relating to asylum applications filed by unaccompanied alien children. The rule will amend both DHS and DOJ regulations to reflect that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has initial jurisdiction over any asylum application filed by an unaccompanied alien child. The rule will also add new special procedures for all children in interviews before USCIS officers and for unaccompanied alien children in proceedings before immigration judges in the Executive Office for Immigration Review.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act (AC21), Public Law 106-313, was enacted on October 17, 2000, along with two bills, the Visa Waiver Permanent Program Act (VWPPA), Public Law 106-311, and a bill to increase the fee for certain H-1B petitions. An earlier piece of legislation, the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA), Public Law 105-277, was enacted to place certain conditions on the employment of H-1B workers. Together, these bills make significant changes to the H-1B classification. Public Law 106-313 increased the numerical H-1B cap to 195,000 for fiscal year 2000-2002 and the percentage of the fees that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) receives to 4 percent. It exempts certain aliens from the numerical cap, provides for the "portability" of employment authorization, and in certain circumstances extensions of stay for certain aliens who have permanent residence applications pending. Public Law 105-277 imposes penalties for employers violating certain representations and prohibits retaliation against H-1B workers who disclose these violations. Finally, on November 2, 2002, the President approved enactment of Public Law 107-273, The 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Act (21st Century DOJ Appropriations Act), which codified a provision that amends section 106(a) of AC21. This regulation clarifies several interpretive questions raised by the bills and ensures that DHS practice is consistent with these laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend its regulations affecting high-skilled workers within the nonimmigrant classifications for specialty occupation professionals from Chile and Singapore (H-1B1) and from Australia (E-3), and the immigration classification for employment-based first preference (EB-1) outstanding professors or researchers.  DHS proposes changes that would harmonize the regulations for E-3 and H-1B1 nonimmigrant classifications with existing regulations for other, similarly situated nonimmigrant classifications.  DHS is proposing these changes to the regulations to encourage and facilitate the employment and retention of these high-skilled workers.]]></ABSTRACT>

The regulatory changes to these categories would significantly improve procedures to more effectively encourage and facilitate the retention of these high-skilled workers in the United States.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The portion of the proposed rule addressing E-3 and H-1B1 visas would extend the period of employment authorized while requests for an extension of these employment-based nonimmigrant visa classifications are being reviewed. We do not anticipate that this rule would impose any additional costs. The benefits of this portion of the proposed rule include easing the regulatory burden on employers of E-3 and H-1B1 nonimmigrants and avoiding potential gaps in employment for these nonimmigrant workers.  

The portion of the proposed rule addressing the evidentiary requirements for the EB-1 outstanding professor and researcher employment-based immigrant classification would allow for the submission of comparable evidence (achievements not listed in the criteria such as important patents or prestigious, peer-reviewed funding grants) for that listed in 8 CFR 204.5(i)(3)(i)(A)(F) to establish that the EB-1 professor or researcher is recognized internationally as outstanding in his or her academic field. We do not anticipate that this part of the proposed rule would impose additional costs.

The non-quantified benefits would include the harmonization of the evidentiary requirements for EB-1 outstanding professors and researchers with other comparable employment-based immigrant classifications and easing petitioners' recruitment of these highly skilled individuals by expanding the range of evidence that may be adduced to support their petitions.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 12, 1999, the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act (NRDAA) was enacted, creating a new H-1C nonimmigrant nurse category. This rule amends the Department of Homeland Security's regulations to implement the NRDAA requirements related to the adjudication petitions for the H-1C classification. 

Congress did not reauthorize the NRDAA in 2009, and therefore USCIS stopped accepting petitions for the H-1C nonimmigrant category after December 21, 2009.  This expiration does not affect the ability of nurses to apply for readmission and, in limited circumstances, extension of stay for H-1Cs who have not exceeded the 3-year limit for admission in this classification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1102 of the Legal Immigration Family Equity (LIFE) Act of 2000 amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a new V nonimmigrant classification 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 monthly Visa Bulletin of the Department of State (DOS). Eligible spouses and children of lawful permanent residents residing abroad who obtain the V nonimmigrant visa from DOS may work and reside in the United States on the basis of the V nonimmigrant 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 the V classification until they can apply to adjust status to that of lawful permanent resident.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This regulation is necessary to permit aliens in lawful T or U nonimmigrant status to apply for adjustment of status to that of lawful permanent residents.  T nonimmigrant status is available to aliens who are victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons and who are assisting law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the acts of trafficking.  U nonimmigrant status is available to aliens who are victims of certain crimes and are being helpful to the investigation or prosecution of those crimes.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rule implements the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (VTVPA), Public Law 106-386, 114 Stat. 1464 (Oct. 28, 2000), as amended, to permit aliens in lawful T or U nonimmigrant status to apply for adjustment of status to that of lawful permanent residents.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[DHS did not consider alternatives to managing T and U applications for adjustment of status.  Ease of administration dictates that adjustment of status applications from T and U nonimmigrants would be best handled on a first in, first out basis, because that is the way applications for T and U status are currently handled.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[DHS uses fees to fund the cost of processing applications and associated support benefits.  In the 2008 interim final rule, DHS estimated the fee collection resulting from this rule at approximately $3 million in the first year, $1.9 million in the second year, and an average about $32 million in the third and subsequent years.  To estimate the new fee collections to be generated by this rule, DHS estimated the fees to be collected for new applications for adjustment of status from T and U nonimmigrants and their eligible family members. After that, DHS estimated fees from associated applications that are required such as biometrics, and others that are likely to occur in direct connection with applications for adjustment, such as employment authorization or travel authorization. DHS is in the process of updating these cost estimates.   

The anticipated benefits of these expenditures include:  Continued assistance to trafficked victims and their families, increased investigation and prosecution of traffickers in persons, and the elimination of abuses caused by trafficking activities.

Benefits that may be attributed to the implementation of this rule are expected to be:

1. An increase in the number of cases brought forward for investigation and/or prosecution;
2. Heightened awareness of trafficking-in-persons issues by the law enforcement community; and
3. Enhanced ability to develop and work cases in trafficking in   persons cross-organizationally and multi-jurisdictionally, which may begin to influence changes in trafficking patterns.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Congress created the U nonimmigrant status ("U visa") to provide immigration protection to crime victims who assist in the investigation and prosecution of those crimes.  Although there are no specific data on alien crime victims, statistics maintained by the Department of Justice have shown that aliens, especially those aliens without legal status, are often reluctant to help in the investigation or prosecution of crimes.  U visas are intended to help overcome this reluctance and aid law enforcement accordingly.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Classification for Victims of Criminal Activity; Eligibility for the 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 U nonimmigrant status provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The Department of Homeland Security will issue another interim final rule to make the changes required by the legislation.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rule provides requirements and procedures for aliens seeking U nonimmigrant status.  U nonimmigrant classification is available to alien victims of certain criminal activity who assist government officials in the investigation or prosecution of that criminal activity.  The purpose of the U nonimmigrant classification is to strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute such crimes as domestic violence, sexual assault, and trafficking in persons, while offering protection to alien crime victims in keeping with the humanitarian interests of the United States.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Congress created the U nonimmigrant classification in the Battered Immigrant Women Protection Act of 2000 (BIWPA).  Congress intended to strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute cases of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking of aliens, and other crimes, while offering protection to victims of such crimes.  Congress also sought to encourage law enforcement officials to better serve immigrant crime victims.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[DHS has identified four alternatives, the first being chosen for the rule:

1. USCIS would adjudicate petitions on a first in, first out basis.  Petitions received after the limit has been reached would be reviewed to determine whether or not they are approvable, but for the numerical cap.  Approvable petitions that are reviewed after the numerical cap has been reached would be placed on a waiting list and written notice sent to the petitioner.  Priority on the waiting list would be based upon the date on which the petition is filed. USCIS would provide petitioners on the waiting list with interim relief until the start of the next fiscal year in the form of deferred action, parole, or a stay of removal.

2. USCIS would adjudicate petitions on a first in, first out basis, establishing a waiting list for petitions that are pending or received after the numerical cap has been reached.  Priority on the waiting list would be based upon the date on which the petition was filed.  USCIS would not provide interim relief to petitioners whose petitions are placed on the waiting list.

3. USCIS would adjudicate petitions on a first in, first out basis.  However, new filings would be reviewed to identify particularly compelling cases for adjudication.  New filings would be rejected once the numerical cap is reached. No official waiting list would be established; however, interim relief until the start of the next fiscal year would be provided for some compelling cases.  If a case was not particularly compelling, the filing would be denied or rejected.

4. USCIS would adjudicate petitions on a first in, first out basis.  However, new filings would be rejected once the numerical cap is reached.  No waiting list would be established nor would interim relief be granted.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[DHS estimated the total annual cost of this interim rule to petitioners to be $6.2 million in the IFR published in 2007.  This cost included the biometric services fee, the opportunity cost of time needed to submit the required forms, the opportunity cost of time required for a visit to a USCIS Application Support Center, and the cost of traveling to an Application Support Center.  DHS is currently in the process of updating our cost estimates since U nonimmigrant visa applicants are no longer required to pay the biometric service fee.  

This rule will strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute such crimes as domestic violence, sexual assault, and trafficking in persons, while offering protection to alien crime victims in keeping with the humanitarian interests of the United States.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[In the case of witness tampering, obstruction of justice, or perjury, the interpretive challenge for USCIS was to determine whom the BIWPA was meant to protect, given that these criminal activities are not targeted against a person.  Accordingly it was determined that a victim of witness tampering, obstruction of justice, or perjury is an alien who has been directly and proximately harmed by the perpetrator of one of these three crimes, where there are reasonable grounds to conclude that the perpetrator principally committed the offense as a means: (1) to avoid or frustrate efforts to investigate, arrest, prosecute, or otherwise bring him or her to justice for other criminal activity; or (2) to further his or her abuse or exploitation of, or undue control over, the alien through manipulation of the legal system.]]></RISKS>

        <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 finalizing its interim regulation governing petitions filed on behalf of alien workers subject to the annual numerical limitations applicable to the H-1B nonimmigrant classification.  This rule precludes a petitioner from filing duplicate petitions on behalf of the same alien temporary worker. This rule also makes accommodations for petitioners to create a more efficient filing process for H-1B petitions subject to the annual numerical limitation. Finally, this rule clarifies treatment of incorrect cap exemption claims and removes certain unnecessary regulatory language.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Temporary Nonagricultural Employment of H-2B Nonimmigrants in Guam</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 subagency to evaluate prevailing wage rates in Guam and is amending its regulations by removing the agency approval requirements.  This direct final rule removes USCIS from the process of setting appropriate prevailing wage rates for H-2B construction occupations on Guam. The U.S. 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>Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers of Inadmissibility for Certain Immediate Relatives</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 2, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a proposed rule at 77 FR 19902 to amend its regulations to allow certain immediate relatives of U.S. citizens who are physically present in the United States to request provisional unlawful presence waivers under section 212(a)(9)(B)(v) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (INA); 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(9)(B)(v) in anticipation of immigrant visa processing abroad.  The final rule implements the provisional unlawful presence waiver process, and finalizes clarifying amendments to other provisions in part 212 of title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations.  Based on the final rule, individuals who are immediate relatives of U.S. citizens who are physically present in the United States and are seeking immigrant visas through consular processing abroad will be able to apply for provisional unlawful presence waivers while in the United States.  These changes will significantly reduce the length of time U.S. citizens are separated from their immediate relatives who are consular processing abroad and reduce the degree of interchange between DOS and USCIS, creating greater efficiencies for both the U.S. Government and most applicants.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Currently, certain spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens (immediate relatives) who are in the United States are not eligible to apply for lawful permanent resident (LPR) status while in the United States.  These immediate relatives must travel abroad to obtain an immigrant visa from the Department of State (DOS) and, in many cases, also must request from DHS a waiver of the inadmissibility as a result of their unlawful presence in the United States.  These immediate relatives cannot apply for the waiver until after their immigrant visa interviews and must remain outside of the United States, separated from their U.S. citizen spouses, parents, or children while their waiver applications are adjudicated by USCIS.  In some cases, waiver application processing can take well over 1 year, prolonging the separation of these immediate relatives from their U.S. citizen spouses, parents, and children.  In addition, the action required for these immediate relatives to obtain LPR status in the United States--departure from the United States to apply for an immigrant visa at a DOS consulate abroad--is the very action that triggers the unlawful presence inadmissibility grounds under section 212(a)(9)(B)(i) of the INA; 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(9)(B)(i).  As a result, many immediate relatives who may qualify for an immigrant visa are reluctant to proceed abroad to seek an immigrant visa.

In addition, the action required for these immediate relatives to obtain LPR status in the United States (i.e., departure from the United States to apply for an immigrant visa at a DOS consulate abroad) is the very action that triggers the unlawful presence inadmissibility grounds under section 212(a)(9)(B)(i) of the INA; 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(9)(B)(i).]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary)'s authority to promulgate this final rule is found in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296, section 102, 116 Stat. 2135, 6 U.S.C. 112, and section 103 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1103, which give the Secretary the authority to administer and enforce the immigration and nationality laws.  The Secretary's discretionary authority to waive the ground of inadmissibility for unlawful presence can be found in INA section 212(a)(9)(B)(v), 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(9)(B)(v).  The regulation governing certain inadmissibility waivers is 8 CFR 212.7.  The fee schedule for provisional unlawful presence waiver applications is found at 8 CFR 103.7(b)(1)(i)(AA).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This final rule is expected to result in a reduction in the time that U.S. citizens are separated from their alien immediate relatives, thus reducing the financial and emotional hardship for these families.  In addition, the Federal Government should achieve increased efficiencies in processing immigrant visas for individuals subject to the unlawful presence inadmissibility bars under section 212(a)(9)(B) of the INA; 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(9)(B).

Estimates of the preliminary costs of the rule were developed assuming that current demand is constrained because of concerns that families may endure lengthy separations under the current system. Due to uncertainties as to the degree of the current constraint of demand, DHS used a range of constraint levels with corresponding increases in demand to estimate the costs. In the proposed rule, 77 FR 19913, DHS estimated that the discounted total ten-year cost of this rule would range from approximately $100.6 million to approximately $303.8 million at a seven percent discount rate. Compared with the current waiver process, this rule requires that provisional waiver applicants submit biometric information. Included in the total cost estimate is the cost of collecting biometrics, which we estimated in the proposed rule to range from approximately $28 million to approximately $42.5 million discounted at seven percent over ten years. In addition, as this rule significantly streamlines the current process, DHS expects that additional applicants will apply for the provisional waiver as compared to the current waiver process. To the extent that this rule induces new demand for immediate relative visas, additional immigration benefit forms, such as the Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-130, will be filed compared to the pre-rule baseline. These additional forms will involve fees being paid by applicants to the Federal Government for form processing and additional opportunity costs of time being incurred by applicants to provide the information required by the forms. The cost estimate in the proposed rule also includes the impact of this induced demand, which we estimate will range from approximately $72.6 million to approximately $261.3 million discounted at seven percent over ten years. DHS is currently drafting the final rule in response to comments, and preparing final cost estimates.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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 will also address the public comments on the proposed public charge rule published on May 26, 1999.]]></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 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>Registration Requirement for Petitioners Seeking To File H-1B Petitions on Behalf of Aliens Subject to Numerical Limitations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security will finalize its regulations governing petitions filed on behalf of alien workers subject to annual numerical limitations.  This rule proposes to establish 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 may exceed 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>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Civil surgeons are physicians authorized to conduct legally required medical examinations of aliens applying for certain immigration benefits.  The Department of Homeland Security regulations do not define uniform standards for civil surgeon designation or procedures for granting and revoking civil surgeon designations.  This rule proposes to amend the regulations to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the civil surgeon, as well as the role of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which is responsible for administering the civil surgeon program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Outer Continental Shelf Activities </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is the lead Federal agency for workplace safety and health, on facilities and vessels engaged in the exploration for, or development or production of, minerals on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), other than for matters generally related to drilling and production that are regulated by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE).  This project would revise the regulations on OCS activities by: 1) Adding new requirements, for OCS units for lifesaving, fire protection, training, hazardous materials used as stores, and accommodation spaces; 2) adding standards for electrical and machinery installations in hazardous locations; 3) providing regulations for dynamic positioning systems; 4) providing for USCG acceptance and approval of specified classification society plan reviews, inspections, audits, and surveys; and 5) requiring foreign vessels engaged in OCS activities to comply with rules 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>

        <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 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 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., Canceled Card List) between TSA and vessel or facility owners/operators will also be addressed in this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 2002 explicitly required the issuance of a biometric transportation security card to all U.S. merchant mariners and to workers requiring unescorted access to secure areas of MTSA-regulated facilities and vessels. On May 22, 2006, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to carry out this statute, proposing a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Program where TSA conducts security threat assessments and issues identification credentials, while the Coast Guard requires integration of the TWIC into the access control systems of vessels, facilities, and Outer Continental Shelf facilities. Based on comments received during the public comment period, TSA and the Coast Guard split the TWIC rule. The final TWIC rule, published in January of 2007, addressed the issuance of the TWIC and use of the TWIC as a visual identification credential at access control points. The ANPRM, published in March of 2009, proposed a risk-based approach to TWIC reader requirements and included proposals to classify MTSA-regulated vessels and facilities into one of three risk groups, based on specific factors related to TSI consequence, and apply TWIC reader requirements for vessels and facilities in conjunction with their relative risk-group placement.

This rulemaking is necessary to comply with the SAFE Port Act and to complete the implementation of the TWIC Program in our ports. By requiring electronic card readers at vessels and facilities, the Coast Guard will further enhance port security and improve access control measures.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The statutory authorities for the Coast Guard to prescribe, change, revise, or amend these regulations are provided under 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231; 46 U.S.C. chapter 701; 50 U.S.C. 191, 192; Executive Order 12656, 3 CFR 1988 Comp., p. 585; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-11, 6.14, 6.16, and 6.19; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The implementation of TWIC reader requirements is mandated by the SAFE Port Act. The Coast Guard is currently considering several regulatory alternatives regarding how to implement the TWIC reader requirements. These alternatives will be further explored in the NPRM.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The main cost drivers of this proposal are the acquisition and installation of TWIC readers and the maintenance of the affected entity's TWIC reader system. Costs, which we would distribute over a  phased-in implementation period, consist predominantly of the costs to purchase, install, and integrate approved TWIC readers to their current physical access control system. Recurring annual costs will be driven by costs associated with canceled card list updates, opportunity cost associated with delays and replacement of TWICs that cannot be read, and maintenance of the affected entity's TWIC reader system. At this time, we are still developing our estimates for the impacts of this proposed rule.

The benefits of the rulemaking include the enhancement of the security of vessel ports and other facilities by ensuring that only individuals who hold valid TWICs are granted unescorted access to secure areas at those locations. It will also implement the 2002 MTSA transportation security card requirements, thereby ensuring compliance with those statutes.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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>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 through 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 the goals of domestic compliance and international cooperation by incorporating requirements from legislation implemented since the original publication of these regulations, such as the SAFE Port Act, and including international standards such as STCW security training.  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 amended 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 currently effective rule harmonizes the Coast Guard's design, construction, and performance standards for this lifesaving equipment with international standards.  In addition, the rule provides 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.

The Coast Guard additionally updated the lifesaving equipment regulations for inflatable life rafts and inflatable buoyant apparatuses to harmonize Coast Guard regulations with recently adopted international standards affecting assumed occupant weight.  The Coast Guard proposes to further amend the lifesaving equipment regulations for release mechanisms to harmonize Coast Guard regulations with recently adopted international standards affecting construction materials.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lifesaving Devices on Uninspected Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 619 of the 2010 Coast Guard Authorization Act, (Act) (Pub.L. 111-281) amends title 46, United States Code (U.S.C.) 4102(b), and directs the Coast Guard to require the installation, maintenance, and use of life preservers and other lifesaving devices for individuals on uninspected vessels.  Currently, uninspected commercial barges not carrying passengers for hire do not meet this mandate.  This proposed rule would fulfill that statutory mandate by changing 46 CFR 25.25 and several associated tables by removing the exemption from existing regulations for uninspected commercial barges not carrying passengers for hire and prescribe regulations requiring the installation, maintenance, and use of lifesaving devices to enhance the safety of persons working aboard these vessels.]]></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 and 2010. The 1995 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, and  Supplemental NPRM (SNPRM) on March 23, 2010.

At a June 2010 diplomatic conference, the IMO adopted additional 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 developed a second Supplemental NPRM to incorporate the 2010 Amendments into the 1990 interim rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposed to amend its regulations to implement changes to its interim rule published on June 26, 1997. These proposed amendments go beyond changes found in the interim rule and seek to more fully incorporate the requirements of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (STCW), in the requirements for the credentialing of United States merchant mariners. The new changes are primarily substantive and: (1) Are necessary to continue to give full and complete effect to the STCW Convention; (2) Incorporate lessons learned from implementation of the STCW through the interim rule and through policy letters and NVICs; and (3) Attempt to clarify regulations that have generated confusion.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The authority for the Coast Guard to prescribe, change, revise, or amend these regulations is provided under 46 U.S.C. 2103 and 46 U.S.C. chapters 71 and 73; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[For each proposed change, the Coast Guard has considered various alternatives.  We considered using policy statements, but they are not enforceable.  We also considered taking no action, but this does not support the Coast Guard's fundamental safety and security mission. Additionally, we considered comments made during our 1997 rulemaking to formulate our alternatives.  When we analyzed issues, such as license progression and tonnage equivalency, the alternatives chosen were those that most closely met the requirements of STCW.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[In the SNPRM, we estimated the annualized cost of this rule over a 10-year period to be $32.8 million per year at a 7 percent discount rate. We estimate the total 10-year cost of this rulemaking to be $230.7 million at a 7 percent discount rate.

The changes in anticipated costs since the publication of 2009 NPRM are due to the 2010 amendments to the STCW Convention: Medical examinations and endorsements, leadership and management skills, engine room management training, tankerman endorsements, safety refresher training, and able seafarer deck and engine certification requirements. However, there would be potential savings from the costs of training requirements as the Coast Guard would accept various methods for demonstrating competence, including the on-the-job training and preservation of the "hawsepipe" programs.      

We anticipate the primary benefit of this rulemaking is to ensure that the U.S. meets its obligations under the STCW Convention.  Another benefit is an increase in vessel safety and a resulting decrease in the risk of shipping casualties.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Commercial Fishing Industry Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would have amended commercial fishing industry vessel requirements to enhance maritime safety. Commercial fishing is 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. This regulatory project was opened in 2002 to consider regulatory changes to improve safety in the commercial fishing industry, which remains one of the most hazardous occupations in the United States. The Coast Guard is now intending to withdraw this rulemaking, subject to public comment on why it should remain open, in light of the 2010 adoption by Congress of new legislation that provides the Coast Guard with important new regulatory authority over commercial fishing safety. Withdrawal of this project will help the Coast Guard focus its regulatory efforts on timely regulatory implementation of its 2010 statutory authority, which will be done under a separate RIN (1625-AB85).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vessel Requirements for Notices of Arrival and Departure, and Automatic Identification System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would expand the applicability for Notice of Arrival and Departure (NOAD) and Automatic Identification System (AIS) requirements.  These expanded requirements would better enable the Coast Guard to correlate vessel AIS data with NOAD data, enhance our ability to identify and track vessels, detect anomalies, improve navigation safety, and heighten our overall maritime domain awareness.  

The NOAD portion of this rulemaking 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 would expand current AIS carriage requirements for the population identified in the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention and the Marine Transportation Marine Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 2002.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[There is no central mechanism in place to capture vessel, crew, passenger, or specific cargo information on vessels less than or equal to 300 gross tons (GT) intending to arrive at or depart from U.S. ports unless they are arriving with certain dangerous cargo (CDC) or at a port in the 7th Coast Guard District; nor is there a requirement for vessels to submit notification of departure information.  The lack of NOAD information of this large and diverse population of vessels represents a substantial gap in our maritime domain awareness (MDA).  We can minimize this gap and enhance MDA by expanding NOAD applicability to vessels greater than 300 GT, all foreign commercial vessels and all U.S. commercial vessels coming from a foreign port, and further enhance (and corroborate) MDA by tracking those vessels (and others) with AIS.  This information is necessary in order to expand our MDA and provide Nation maritime safety and security.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rulemaking is based on congressional authority provided in the Ports and Waterways Safety Act (see 33 U.S.C. 1223(a)(5), 1225, 1226, and 1231) and section 102 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (codified at 46 U.S.C. 70114).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Our goal is to extend our MDA and to identify anomalies by correlating vessel NOAD data with AIS data.  NOAD and AIS information from a greater number of vessels, as proposed in this rulemaking, would expand our MDA.  We considered expanding NOAD and AIS to even more vessels, but we determined that we needed additional legislative authority to expand AIS beyond what we propose in this rulemaking, and that it was best to combine additional NOAD expansion with future AIS expansion.  Although not in conjunction with a proposed rule, the Coast Guard sought comment regarding expansion of AIS carriage to other waters and other vessels not subject to the current requirements (68 FR 39369, Jul. 1, 2003; USCG 2003-14878; see also 68 FR 39355).  Those comments were reviewed and considered in drafting this rule and are available in this docket.  To fulfill our statutory obligations, the Coast Guard needs to receive AIS reports and NOADs from vessels identified in this rulemaking that currently are not required to provide this information.  Policy or other nonbinding statements by the Coast Guard addressed to the owners of these vessels would not produce the information required to sufficiently enhance our MDA to produce the information required to fulfill our Agency obligations.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This rulemaking will enhance the Coast Guard's regulatory program by making it more effective in achieving the regulatory objectives, which, in this case, is improved MDA.  We provide flexibility in the type of AIS system that can be used, allowing for reduced cost burden.  This rule is also streamlined to correspond with Customs and Border Protection's APIS requirements, thereby reducing unjustified burdens. We are further developing estimates of cost and benefit that were published in 2008.  In the 2008 NPRM, we estimated that both segments of the proposed rule would affect approximately 42,607 vessels. The total number of domestic vessels affected is approximately 17,323 and the total number of foreign vessels affected is approximately 25,284. We estimated that the 10-year total present discounted value or cost of the proposed rule to U.S. vessel owners is between $132.2 and $163.7 million (7 and 3 percent discount rates, respectively, 2006 dollars) over the period of analysis.

The Coast Guard believes that this rule, through a combination of NOAD and AIS, would strengthen and enhance maritime security. The combination of NOAD and AIS would create a synergistic effect between the two requirements.  Ancillary or secondary benefits exist in the form of avoided injuries, fatalities, and barrels of oil not spilled into the marine environment. In the 2008 NPRM, we estimated that the total discounted benefit (injuries and fatalities) derived from 68 marine casualty cases analyzed over an 8-year data period from 1996 to 2003 for the AIS portion of the proposed rule is between $24.7 and $30.6 million using $6.3 million for the value of statistical life (VSL) at 7 percent and 3 percent discount rates, respectively. Just based on barrels of oil not spilled, we expect the AIS portion of the proposed rule to prevent 22 barrels of oil from being spilled annually.
The Coast Guard may revise costs and benefits for the final rule to reflect changes resulting from public comments.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Considering the economic utility of U.S. ports, waterways, and coastal approaches, it is clear that a terrorist incident against our U.S. Maritime Transportation System (MTS) would have a direct impact on U.S. users and consumers and could potentially have a disastrous impact on global shipping, international trade, and the world economy.  By improving the ability of the Coast Guard both to identify potential terrorists coming to the United States while the terrorists are far from our shores and to coordinate appropriate responses and intercepts before the vessel reaches a U.S. port, this rulemaking would contribute significantly to the expansion of MDA, and consequently is instrumental in addressing the threat posed by terrorist actions against the MTS.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is adding to its 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>Offshore Supply Vessels of at Least 6000 GT ITC</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010 removed the size limit on offshore supply vessels (OSVs). The Act also directed the Coast Guard to issue, as soon as is practicable, a regulation 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 vessels of at least 6,000 gross tonnage as measured under the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships (6,000 GT ITC).  Accordingly, the Coast Guard's rule will address design, manning, carriage of personnel, and related topics for OSVs of at least 6,000 GT ITC.  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 proposed rule would permit the use of United Nations-approved portable tanks for the transfer of hazardous liquid cargoes to and from portable tanks on vessels.  The proposed rule would align Coast Guard regulations with the Department of Transportation's Hazardous Materials Regulations and the International Maritime Organization's International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code for the construction and use of portable tanks. The use of certain Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) would also be allowed for the transfer of hazardous liquid cargoes to and from offshore supply vessels.  This proposed rule would also amend the list of hazardous liquid cargoes in table 46 CFR 98.305(a) to include additional cargoes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adding International Energy Efficiency (IEE) Certificate to List of Certificates a Recognized Classification Society May Issue</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to amend its Vessel Inspection Alternatives regulations to add the International Energy Efficiency (IEE) Certificate to the list of certificates that a recognized classification society may issue on behalf of the Coast Guard.  We make this proposal because Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution by Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978, has been amended to address energy efficiency for ships, and these amendments call for the issuance of IEE Certificates starting January 1, 2013.  This proposed rule would enable recognized classification societies to apply to the Coast Guard to issue IEE Certificates to vessel owners and help to ensure that the demand for IEE Certificates is met.]]></ABSTRACT>

The restricted anchorage area was needed to prevent non-government vessels from transiting through or anchoring in anchorage area. The United States Army relinquished control of the Island in 1975, and the restriction is no longer necessary. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's responsibility for maritime safety.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Discharge-Removal Equipment for Vessels Carrying Oil</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 directed the President by August 18, 1992, to require periodic inspection of discharge-removal equipment to ensure that it is available in an emergency, and to require carriage of discharge removal equipment by vessels operating in the navigable waters of the United States and carrying oil or hazardous substances. This action implemented those provisions. This project supports the Coast Guard's broad role and responsibility of maritime stewardship.]]></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.

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Marine Transportation-Related Facility Response Plans for Hazardous Substances </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This project would implement provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Security Zone Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard uses these routine and frequent regulations to establish control of access to maritime areas to ensure the security of vessels, waterfront facilities, or individuals. Many of these zones are of short duration, a few hours to a few days, and all are geographically limited in area.  Security zones are established for Presidential or Vice Presidential visits, high-profile events such as the Olympics, controversial events such as transport of spent nuclear fuel, and in response to the threat of terrorist attacks.  Some security zones are implemented only at heightened security levels and only for the duration of the heightened alert.  Security zones are promulgated by Captains of the Port or District Commanders.  These routine and frequent rulemakings support the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime security, safety, and stewardship. The total number of actions expected is 100 annually.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dry Cargo Residue Discharges in the Great Lakes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The historical practice of bulk dry cargo vessels on the Great Lakes is to discharge cargo residues ("dry cargo residue" or DCR) overboard. Dry cargo residue is cargo that remains on the deck or cargo spaces after loading or unloading operations. Generally, these residues include limestone and other clean stone, iron ore (such as taconite), coal, salt, and cement. These substances are primarily inorganic, non-toxic, and non-hazardous. Public Law 108-293, sec. 623(b), gives the Coast Guard regulatory authority over DCR discharges in the Great Lakes. An Interim Rule (73 FR 56492, Sep. 29, 2008) allows the discharge of bulk DCR in limited areas of the Great Lakes by self-propelled vessels and by any barge that is part of an integrated tug and barge unit. A supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking, prior to issuance of a final rule, is under study and could propose vessel or facility to use control measures to reduce the amount of residue discharges in the Great Lakes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to Chemical Testing Requirements in 46 CFR 16 and 33 CFR 95</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking supports the Commandant's Marine Safety strategic goal by making numerous small improvements to the drug and alcohol testing program. These changes would close loopholes, increase the efficiency and reliability of drug test reporting, and reorganize 46 CFR 16 into question and answer format.  Amendments to 33 CFR 95 would authorize Coast Guard civilian marine investigators to order post-accident drug tests (in the same way as active duty mariner investigators do).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations for fire, protection, detection, and extinguishing equipment on inspected and uninspected vessels and outer continental shelf facilities.  These changes are necessary to ensure Coast Guard regulations remain current and address advances in new technologies. The proposed rules would also harmonize the Coast Guard's regulations with the appropriate national and international consensus standards for fire protection, detection, and extinguishing equipment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Requirements for Mariners</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard is revising its merchant mariner credentialing regulations to implement the requirements of section 809 of Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010, Public Law 111-281.  Section 809 eliminates the requirement for certain mariner populations to hold a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC).  The Coast Guard is also adjusting its regulations to provide an exemption for certain fees associated with merchant mariner credentialing for those mariners not required to hold a TWIC, but who may still be required to visit a TWIC enrollment center to provide the information necessary to obtain a Merchant Mariner Credential.  

This rulemaking implements section 809 through revised regulations addressing the applicability of the TWIC requirements and the process of obtaining an MMC for affected mariners, and will supercede Coast Guard Policy Letter 11-15 issued December 2011, which provided a policy solution to offer affected mariners some of the relief presented by section 809 while the Coast Guard worked on this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to revise the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS)-related regulations in 33 CFR part 161. The proposed revisions will establish a mandatory-participation VTS in Port Arthur, Texas; consolidate two existing VTS Special Areas in Puget Sound, Washington into one expanded VTS Special Area, and make two minor revisions to the VTS regulations. One revision will update the designated frequencies for the Maritime Mobile Service Identifiers for Louisville, KY and Los Angeles/Long Beach, CA; the other revision will amend an outdated reference to the term "Dangerous Cargo" to the updated term "Certain Dangerous Cargos."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to the Inland Navigation Rules of the Road</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposes to amend the inland navigation rules in 33 CFR parts 83 through 88 to incorporate amendments made by the International Maritime Organization to the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea to which the U.S. is a signatory, and to incorporate recommendations advised by the Navigation Safety Advisory Council.  These changes would harmonize domestic and international law by reducing and alleviating equipment requirements on vessels, addressing technological advancements, such as wing-in-ground craft, and making reference to applicable requirements easier to locate by creating uniformity of the two sets of rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard proposed 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, while providing 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>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."  This rulemaking would clarify the purpose of the LOR, and would articulate a process specific to LORs.  This action would increase efficiency and support the Coast Guard's mission of marine safety, security, and environmental stewardship.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternate Tonnage Threshold For Oil Spill Response Vessels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Coast Guard seeks to establish an alternate maximum tonnage threshold, for oil spill response vessels (OSRVs) that are also certificated as offshore supply vessels (OSVs).  Establishing alternate tonnage thresholds provides a mechanism for the Coast Guard to regulate vessels under tonnages assigned using the system of the 1969 International Tonnage Measurement (TM) Convention at the option of a vessel's owner.  This would help owners avoid the fitting of undesirable vessel design features whose sole purpose is to artificially reduce tonnage assigned under the U.S. domestic measurement system.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Waiver of Passport and Visa Requirements Due to an Unforeseen Emergency</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to reinstate a 1996 amendment to 8 CFR 212.1(g) regarding a waiver of documentary requirements for nonimmigrants seeking admission to the United States.  The 1996 amendment allowed the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to waive passport and visa requirements due to an unforeseen emergency while preserving its ability to fine carriers for unlawfully transporting aliens to the United States who do not have a valid passport or visa.  On November 20, 2009, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit invalidated the 1996 amendment based on procedural grounds.  This DHS proposal would reinstate the 1996 amendment and make some additional technical amendments.  DHS and the State Department are acting jointly in this matter.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importer Security Filing and Additional Carrier Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule implements the provisions of section 203 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006. It amended 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 improves CBP's risk assessment and targeting capabilities, assists CBP in increasing the security of the global trading system, and facilitates the prompt release of legitimate cargo following its arrival in the United States.  The interim final rule requested comments on those required data elements for which CBP provided certain flexibilities for compliance and on the revised costs and benefits and Regulatory Flexibility Analysis.  CBP plans to issue a final rule after CBP completes a structured review of the flexibilities and analyzes the comments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to the Visa Waiver Program To Implement the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CBP issued an interim final rule, which implemented 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 must provide certain biographical information to CBP electronically before departing for the United States. This advance information 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 interim final rule also fulfilled 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 increases 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. CBP requested comments on all aspects of the interim final rule and plans to issue a final rule after completion of the comment analysis.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations to implement section 702 of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA). This law extends the immigration laws of the United States to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and provides for a joint visa waiver program for travel to Guam and the CNMI.  This rule implements section 702 of the CNRA by amending the regulations to replace the current Guam Visa Waiver Program with a new Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program.  The amended regulations set forth the requirements for nonimmigrant visitors who seek admission for business or pleasure and solely for entry into and stay on Guam or the CNMI without a visa.  This rule 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, nonimmigrant 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 is authorized by section 711 of the Implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (9/11 Act) and mandated by the Travel Promotion Act and consists of the sum of $10 per travel authorization and an amount that will at least 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>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, CBP is considering whether to revise the entry exemption to make it 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, CBP is considering whether certain DoD-owned vessels that are transporting only passengers and/or cargo approved for carriage in the DTS should also be exempt from reporting their arrival.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Boquillas Border Crossing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would create a new border crossing in the Big Bend National Park called Boquillas.  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 binational interest.  The opening of the Boquillas crossing is also expected to encourage more travel and tourism in the area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to allow for publication of seizure/intent-to-forfeit notices on an official Government forfeiture Web site.  The changes proposed in this rule are intended to reduce administrative costs and improve the effectiveness of CBP's notice procedures as Internet publication would reach a broader range of the public and provide access to more parties who may have an interest in the seized merchandise.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Border Zone in the State of New Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under current Department of Homeland Security regulations, certain nonimmigrant Mexican nationals presenting a Border Crossing Card, or other proper immigration documentation, are not required to obtain a CBP Form I-94 (Form I-94), Arrival/Departure Record, if they remain within 25 miles of the border (75 miles in Arizona).  This rule amends the DHS regulations to extend the distance these visitors may travel in New Mexico without obtaining a Form I-94 from 25 miles to 55 miles.  This change is intended to promote commerce in southern New Mexico while still ensuring that sufficient safeguards are in place to prevent illegal entry to the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>Establishment of Global Entry Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CBP already operates several regulatory and nonregulatory 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Aviation Security Infrastructure Fees (ASIF)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will complete an economic analysis, respond to comments received, and take final action on the interim final rule (IFR) issued February 20, 2002. 

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF) (Market Share)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 20, 2002 (67 FR 7926), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published an interim final rule (IFR) that established the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF), which is 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.  

TSA is developing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that will propose to amend current ASIF requirements, see 49 CFR part 1511, by modifying the method that TSA uses to assess the ASIF, reapportioning the amount to be paid per airline.  The NPRM will also respond to any comments submitted regarding the IFR.

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Aviation Security and Other Aircraft Operator Security  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 30, 2008 (73 FR 64790), 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.

After considering comments received on the NPRM and sponsoring public meetings with stakeholders, TSA decided to revise the original proposal to tailor security requirements to the general aviation industry.  TSA is preparing a supplemental NPRM (SNPRM), which will include a comment period for public comments.  TSA is considering 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 commensurate with measures for U.S. operators.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Security Training for Surface Mode Employees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) intends to propose a new regulation to improve the security of freight railroads, public transportation, passenger railroads, and over-the-road buses in accordance with the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007.  This rulemaking will propose general requirements for the owner/operators of a freight railroad, public transportation system, passenger railroad, and an over-the-road bus operation determined by TSA to be high-risk to develop and implement a security training program to prepare security-sensitive employees, including frontline employees identified in sections 1402 and 1501 of the Act, for potential security threats and conditions.  The rulemaking will also propose extending the security coordinator and reporting security incident requirements applicable to rail operators under current 49 CFR part 1580 to the non-rail transportation components of covered public transportation agencies. In addition, the rulemaking will also propose requiring the affected over-the-road bus owner/operators to identify security coordinators and report security incidents, similar to the requirements for rail in current 49 CFR 1580.  The regulation will take into consideration any current security training requirements or best practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[A security training program for freight railroads, public transportation agencies and passenger railroads, and over-the-road bus operations is proposed to prepare freight railroad security-sensitive employees, public transportation, passenger railroad security-sensitive employees, and over-the-road bus security-sensitive employees for potential security threats and conditions.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[49 U.S.C. 114; sections 1408, 1517, and 1534 of Public Law 110-53, Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Aug. 3, 2007; 121 Stat. 266).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[TSA is required by statute to publish regulations requiring security training programs for these owner/operators. As part of its notice of proposed rulemaking, TSA will seek public comment on the alternative ways in which the final rule could carry out the requirements of the statute.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[TSA will estimate the costs that the freight railroad systems, public transportation agencies, passenger railroads, and over-the-road bus (OTRB) entities covered by this proposed rule would incur following its implementation.  These costs will include estimates for the following elements: (1) Creating or modifying a security training program and submitting it to TSA; (2) Training (initial and recurrent) all security-sensitive employees; (3) Maintaining records of employee training; (4) Being available for inspections; (5) As applicable, providing information on security coordinators and alternates; and (6) As applicable, reporting security concerns.  TSA will also estimate the costs TSA itself would expect to incur with the implementation of this rule.

TSA has not quantified benefits. TSA, however, expects that the primary benefit of the Security Training NPRM will be the enhancement of the United States surface transportation security by reducing the vulnerability of freight railroad systems, public transportation agencies, passenger railroads, and over-the-road bus entities to terrorist activity through the training of security-sensitive employees. TSA uses a break-even analysis to assess the trade-off between the beneficial effects of the Security Training NPRM and the costs of implementing the rulemaking.  This break-even analysis uses scenarios extracted from the TSA Transportation Sector Security Risk Assessment (TSSRA) to determine the degree to which the Security Training NPRM must reduce the overall risk of a terrorist attack in order for the expected benefits of the NPRM to justify the estimated costs.  For its analyses, TSA uses scenarios with varying levels of risk, but only details the consequence estimates. To maintain consistency, TSA developed the analyses with a method similar to that used for the break-even analyses conducted in earlier DHS rules.

After estimating the total consequence of each scenario by monetizing lives lost, injuries incurred, and capital replacement and clean-up, TSA will use this figure and the annualized cost of the NPRM for freight rail, public transportation, passenger rail, and OTRB owner/operators to calculate a breakeven annual likelihood of attack.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security aims to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States and to reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism. By providing for security training for personnel, TSA intends in this rulemaking to reduce the risk of a terrorist attack on this transportation sector.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will propose a new regulation to improve the security of freight railroads and passenger railroads in accordance with the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007. This rulemaking will propose thresholds for which a risk determination can be made to determine whether a freight railroad and passenger railroad should be considered "high risk."  The rulemaking will also propose requirements for vulnerability assessments and security plans for owner/operators of those railroads.  The proposed requirements include procedures for TSA's review and approval of these assessments and plans, and recordkeeping requirements. The regulation will take into consideration any current security assessment and planning requirements or best practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standardized Vetting, Adjudication, and Redress Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) intends to propose new regulations to revise and standardize the procedures, adjudication criteria, and fees for most of the security threat assessments (STA) of individuals for which TSA is responsible.  In accordance with the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (9/11 Act), 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.

As part of this proposed rule, TSA will propose revisions to the Alien Flight Student Program (AFSP) regulations.  TSA published an interim final rule for ASFP on September 20, 2004.   TSA regulations require aliens seeking to train at Federal Aviation Administration-regulated flight schools to complete an application and undergo an STA prior to beginning flight training.  There are four categories under which students currently fall; the nature of the STA depends on the student's category.  TSA is considering changes to the AFSP that would improve the equity among fee payers and enable the implementation of new technologies to support vetting.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Through this rulemaking, TSA proposes to carry out statutory mandates to perform security threat assessments (STA) of certain transportation workers pursuant to the 9/11 Act. Also, TSA proposes to fully satisfy 6 U.S.C. 469, which requires TSA to fund security threat assessment and credentialing activities through user fees.  The proposed rulemaking would increase transportation security by enhancing identification and immigration verification standards, providing for more thorough vetting, improving the reliability and consistency of the vetting process, and increasing fairness to vetted individuals by providing more robust redress and reducing redundant STA requirements.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[49 U.S.C. 114(f): Under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) (Pub. L. 170-71, Nov. 19, 2001, 115 Stat. 597), TSA assumed responsibility to oversee the vetting of certain aviation workers.  See 49 U.S.C. 44936.

Under the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA), (Pub. L. 107-295, sec. 102, Nov. 25, 2002, 116 Stat. 2064), codified at 46 U.S.C. 70105, TSA vets certain merchant mariners and individuals who require unescorted access to secure areas of vessels and maritime facilities.
 
Under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (USA PATRIOT Act) (Pub. L. 107-56, Oct. 25, 2001, 115 Stat. 272), TSA vets individuals seeking hazardous materials endorsements (HME) to commercial driver's licenses (CDL) issued by the States.

In the Implementing Recommendation of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-53, Aug. 3, 2007, 121 Stat. 266), Congress directed TSA to vet additional populations of transportation workers, including certain public transportation and railroad workers.

In 6 U.S.C. 469, Congress directed TSA to fund vetting and credentialing programs through user fees.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[TSA considered a number of viable alternatives to lessen the impact of the proposed regulations on entities deemed "small" by the Small Business Administration (SBA) standards.  This included: (1) Extending phone pre-enrollment to populations eligible to enroll via the Web; and (2) changing the current delivery and activation process and instituting centralized activation of biometric credentials that allow applicants to receive their credentials through the mail rather than returning to the enrollment center to pick up the credential.  These alternatives are discussed in detail in the rule and regulatory evaluation.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[TSA conducted a regulatory evaluation to estimate the costs regulated entities, individuals, and TSA would incur to comply with the requirements of the NPRM.  The NPRM would impose new requirements for some individuals, codify existing requirements not included in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and modify current STA requirements for many transportation workers.  The primary benefit of the NPRM would be that it will improve TSA's vetting product, process, and structure by improving STAs, increasing equity, decreasing reliance on appropriated funds, and improving reusability of STAs and mitigating redundant STAs.

TSA has not quantified benefits.  TSA uses a break-even analysis to assess the trade-off between the beneficial effects of the NPRM and the costs of implementing the rulemaking.  This break-even analysis uses scenarios from the TSA Transportation Sector Security Risk Assessment (TSSRA) to determine the degree to which the NPRM must reduce the overall risk of a terrorist attack in order for the expected benefits of the NPRM to justify the estimated costs.  For its analyses, TSA uses scenarios with varying levels of risk, but only details the consequence estimates.  To maintain consistency, TSA developed the analyses with a method similar to that used for the break-even analyses conducted in earlier DHS rules.  After estimating the total consequences of each scenario by monetizing lives lost, injuries incurred, capital replacement, and clean-up, TSA will use this figure and the annualized cost of the NPRM to calculate the frequency of attacks averted in order for the NPRM to break even.

TSA estimates that the total savings to the alien flight students, over a 5-year period, will be $18,107 at a 7 percent discount rate.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) is being issued to comply with the decision rendered by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District Columbia Circuit in Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on July 15, 2011, 653 F.3d 1 (D.C. Cir. 2011).  The Court directed TSA to conduct notice and comment rulemaking on the use of advanced imaging technology (AIT) in the primary screening of passengers.  As a result, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) proposes to amend its civil aviation regulations to clarify that screening and inspection of an individual conducted to control access to the sterile area of an airport or to an aircraft may include the use of AIT.]]></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 certain 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, at the 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>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[TSA anticipates costs to aircraft repair stations mainly related to the establishment of security programs, which may include adding such measures as access controls, a personnel identification system, security awareness training, the designation of a security coordinator, employee background verification, and contingency plan.

The NPRM estimated the total 10-year undiscounted cost of the program at $403 million.  The cost of the program, discounted at 7 percent, is $285 million.  Security coordinator and training costs represent the largest portions of the program.

TSA has not quantified benefits.  However, a major line of defense against an aviation-related terrorist act is the prevention of explosives, weapons, and/or incendiary devices from getting on board a plane.  To date, efforts have been primarily related to inspection of baggage, passengers, and cargo, and security measures at airports that serve air carriers.  With this rule, attention is given to aircraft that are located at repair stations and to aircraft parts that are at repair stations to reduce the likelihood of an attack against aviation and the country.  Since repair station personnel have direct access to all parts of an aircraft, the potential exists for a terrorist to seek to commandeer or compromise an aircraft when the aircraft is at one of these facilities.  Moreover, as TSA tightens security in other areas of aviation, repair stations increasingly may become attractive targets for terrorist organizations attempting to evade aviation security protections currently in place.

TSA uses a break-even analysis to assess the trade-off between the beneficial effects of the final rule and the costs of implementing the rulemaking.  This break-even analysis uses three attack scenarios to determine the degree to which the final rule must reduce the overall risk of a terrorist attack in order for the expected benefits of the final rule to justify the estimated costs.  For its analyses, TSA uses scenarios with varying levels of risk, but only details the consequence estimates.  To maintain consistency, TSA developed the analyses with a method similar to that used for the break-even analyses conducted in earlier DHS rules.  After estimating the total consequences of each scenario by monetizing lives lost, injuries incurred, and capital replacement, TSA will use this figure and the annualized cost of the final rule to calculate the frequency of attacks averted in order for the final rule to break even.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security aims to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States and to reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism.  By requiring security programs for certain aircraft repair stations, TSA will focus on preventing unauthorized access to repair work and to aircraft to prevent sabotage or hijacking.]]></RISKS>

        <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 interim final rule (IFR) issued May 18, 2004. 

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>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 interim final rule (IFR) issued September 20, 2004 by completing a regulatory analysis, amending the rule to incorporate the exemptions and interpretations, and responding to comments received.

The IFR was published and effective 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 for or receive flight training.  After comments were received, exemptions and interpretations were issued.  TSA also issued a notice on April 13, 2009, that prescribes fees for processing requests from alien flight students who take 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 for security awareness training for certain flight school employees.

These requirements will help ensure that individuals who might 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>Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport: Enhanced Security Procedures for Certain Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 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 (GA), in title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).  TSA plans to publish a final rule to respond to the public comments and close out this rulemaking.

The IFR restores access to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) 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 on August 18, 2005, 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 GA 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[The 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 driver's 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.  The interim rule also removed TSA's preexisting 49 CFR 1572.201 procedures for commercial drivers licensed in Canada who transport explosives into the United States (see RIN 1652-AA16).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sensitive Security Information: Disclosure in Federal Civil Court Proceedings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is withdrawing this action to revise its regulations governing the protection of Sensitive Security Information (SSI), which would have codified procedures for access to specific SSI in Federal district court proceedings for civil litigants or their counsel who do not currently have a need to know SSI, if certain requirements are met.  TSA anticipates a review of procedures in the future and will pursue rulemaking at that time.  Sensitive Security Information is primarily information that would be detrimental to transportation security or safety if publicly disclosed.  This proposed rule would have codified 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, implementing section 525(d) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations Act of 2007.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Air Cargo Screening</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1602 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 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.  To meet this mandate, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR), on September 16, 2009, 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.  

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would revise 8 CFR parts 214.2 and 214.3. First, it would provide additional flexibility to schools in determining the number of designated school officials (DSOs) to nominate for the oversight of the school's campuses where international students are enrolled.  Current regulation limits the number of DSOs to 10 per school, or 10 per campus in a multi-campus school.  Second, the proposed rule would permit F-2 and M-2 spouses and children accompanying academic and vocational nonimmigrant students with F-1 or M-1 nonimmigrant status to enroll in study at an SEVP-certified school so long as any study remains less than a full course of study.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The purpose of this rulemaking is to propose regulations setting standards to prevent, detect, and respond to sexual abuse in Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confinement facilities.  The proposed standards build on current U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Performance Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS) and other DHS detention policies, and respond to the President's May 17, 2012 Memorandum, "Implementing the Prison Rape Elimination Act," which directs all agencies with Federal confinement facilities to work with the Attorney General to propose rules or procedures setting standards to prevent, detect, and respond to sexual abuse in confinement facilities.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The NPRM would impose standards to prevent, detect, and respond to sexual abuse and assault in DHS confinement facilities.  These facilities consist of immigration detention facilities and holding facilities.  The proposed standards would impose new requirements for some facilities and codify current requirements for other facilities.  Such standards will require Federal, State, and local agencies, as well as private entities that operate confinement facilities, to incur costs in implementing and complying with those standards.  The primary benefit of the NPRM would be improvements to the prevention, detection, and response to sexual abuse and assault.  DHS will follow DOJ methodology for monetizing the value of preventing sexual abuse incidents, which includes consideration for costs of medical and mental health care treatment as well as pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life, among other factors.  DHS will use a break-even analysis to assess the trade-off between the beneficial effects of the NPRM and the costs of implementing the rulemaking.  The break-even analysis uses the monetized estimates of incidents avoided to determine the degree to which the NPRM must reduce the annual incidence of sexual abuse for the costs of compliance to break even with the monetized benefits of the standards.  This does not include non-monetizable benefits of sexual abuse avoidance.  The NPRM will include a Regulatory Impact Assessment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department proposes to amend its regulations at 8 CFR part 293 addressing the payment of interest on cash bond deposits to reflect a recent determination made by the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) to change the interest rate.  The proposed rule would change the interest rate paid on cash deposited to secure immigration bonds from a fixed rate of 3 percent per annum to a fluctuating "T-Bill rate," as determined each quarter by Treasury, but not exceeding 3 percent per annum.  The rule would better reflect market conditions for interest payments and reduce the amount of interest paid by the Government on cash bond deposits.  By statute, Treasury is authorized to set the interest rate paid on immigration bond cash deposits provided that the rate does not exceed 3 percent per annum.  8 U.S.C. 1363.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Declining To Accept Immigration Bonds Underwritten by Treasury-Certified Surety Companies and Their Agents Acting as Co-Obligors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department proposes to amend 8 CFR 103.6 to set forth standards and procedures ICE will follow before making a determination to stop accepting immigration bonds posted by a surety company that has been certified to issue bonds by the Department of the Treasury or by an agent acting as a co-obligor with the surety.  On March 17, 2011, Treasury published a proposed rule, Surety Companies Doing Business with the United States, that would amend 31 CFR part 223.  See 76 FR 15692-02.  This proposed rule would grant agencies the authority to decline bonds from a Treasury-certified surety for cause, such as when the surety owes unpaid, administratively-final bond debts to the Agency.  When Treasury's proposed rule is final, the Department intends to publish a proposed rule allowing ICE to decline additional immigration bonds from surety companies and/or their agents when they have failed to pay administratively-final debts or have an unacceptably high breach rate.  The rule would include due process protections for the companies such as advance written notice of the Agency's intention to decline future bonds, an explanation of the reasons supporting the proposed non-acceptance of the bonds, an opportunity to respond, and an opportunity to cure the defects. This action would include provisions similar to those in withdrawn actions 1653AA20 and 1653AA45.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) proposes to amend its regulations to classify and clarify certain Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9) paperwork failures and violations set forth in the good faith compliance provision of section 411 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), Public Law 104-208.   This proposed rule would define a substantive violation, and a technical or procedural failure.  The proposed rule further would revise the current DHS regulations that delineate the circumstances in which an employer may be subject to penalties for substantive violations, or may not be subject to penalties for technical or procedural failures, due to the good faith compliance provision when completing the Form I-9 regardless of the method of creation, retention, and storage of the Form I-9.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Extending 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>Extending Period for Optional Practical Training by 17 Months for F-1 Nonimmigrant Students With STEM Degrees and Expanding the CAP-GAP Relief for All F-1 Students With Pending H-1B Petitions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, foreign students in F-1 nonimmigrant status who have been enrolled on a full-time basis for at least one full academic year in a college, university, conservatory, or seminary certified by U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement's (ICE) Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) are eligible for 12 months of optional practical training (OPT) to work for a U.S. employer in a job directly related to the student's major area of study. The maximum period of OPT is 29 months for F-1 students who have completed a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) degree and accept employment with employers enrolled in U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS') E-Verify employment verification program. Employers of F-1 students with an extension of post-completion OPT authorization must report to the student's designated school official (DSO) within 48 hours after the OPT student has been terminated from, or otherwise leaves, his or her employment with that employer prior to end of the authorized period of OPT.

The final rule will respond to public comments and may make adjustments to the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

The 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, and clarify the removal period time frame when an order of removal becomes administratively final before the alien comes into DHS custody.]]></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>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>Management Costs</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 as well as expand the scope of the rule to allow for the reimbursement of management costs incurred for FEMA's Crisis Counseling Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Assistance Cost Estimating Format for Large Projects</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 mitigation activities, but would return the portion of the underrun that is greater than the 10 percent floor threshold.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Debris Removal: Increased Federal Cost Share and Eligibility of Force Account Labor Straight-Time Costs Under the Public Assistance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Fiscal Year 2007 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act authorized a Public Assistance Pilot Program intended to reduce the costs to the Federal government of providing assistance to States and local governments; increase flexibility in the administration of assistance; and expedite the provision of assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.  Due to the success of the Pilot Program, this rule proposes to implement two debris-related Public Assistance Pilot procedures: it proposes to provide the opportunity for a 5 percent Federal cost share increase for debris removal projects for those Public Assistance applicants that have submitted a debris management plan to FEMA and have pre-qualified two or more debris and wreckage removal contractors, and it proposes to allow for the reimbursement of the straight- or regular time salaries and benefits of the employees of Public Assistance applicants who perform disaster-related debris and wreckage removal work.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the authority of section 408 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (Stafford Act), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides grants to individuals and households to repair or replace their homes after a Presidentially declared major disaster or emergency.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Fiscal Year 2007 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act authorized a Public Assistance Pilot Program intended to reduce the costs to the Federal Government of providing assistance to States and local governments; increase flexibility in the administration of assistance; and expedite the provision of assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.  Due to the current pressing need for efficient and timely recovery from a catastrophic disaster event, Hurricane Sandy, which has cast widespread debris over a major portion of the eastern seaboard of the United States, this rule implements one of the debris-related Public Assistance Pilot procedures:  it allows for the reimbursement of the straight- or regular time salaries and benefits of the employees of Public Assistance applicants who perform disaster-related debris and wreckage removal work for any major disaster or emergency declared by the President on or after October 27, 2012, in  response to Hurricane Sandy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disaster Assistance; Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 pre-disaster primary residence, to and from alternate locations for short- or long-term accommodations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 reduced the Federal cost share of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance for public and certain private nonprofit facilities repetitively damaged in the preceding 10 years by the same type of event and for which appropriate hazard mitigation had not been implemented.  This final rule implements a reduced Federal cost share to provide an incentive for applicants to mitigate repetitive damage, promote measures that reduce future loss to life and property, protect Federal investment in public infrastructure, and help build resilient communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rule would have required owners of such structures to pay a higher premium for flood insurance if they declined an offer of funding to eliminate or reduce future flood damage.  FEMA is withdrawing the NPRM because it has been superseded by legislation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (FR-5173)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Through this rule, HUD proposes to provide HUD program participants with more effective means to affirmatively further the purposes and policies of the Fair Housing Act, which is title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968.  The current practice of affirmatively further fair housing carried out by HUD grantees, which involves an analysis of impediments to fair housing choice and a certification that the grantee is affirmatively furthering fair housing, has been found not as effective as envisioned.  To better fulfill this statutory obligation, this rule proposes to replace existing requirements with a fair housing assessment and planning process that is intended to aid HUD program participants in improving access to opportunity and advancing the ability for all families to make true housing choices.  To facilitate this new approach, HUD would provide States, local governments, and public housing agencies, as well as the communities they serve, with local and regional data on, but not limited to, patterns of integration and segregation, and racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty.  This proposed rule would further commit HUD to greater engagement and better guidance for program participants in fulfilling their obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Home Investment Partnerships Program: Updating Energy Efficiency Standards and Rents for Non-Voucher Families (FR- 5678)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD's HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME program or HOME) provides formula grants to States and units of local government to fund a wide range of activities directed to producing or maintaining affordable housing, both homes and rental housing. This rule proposes amendments to the HOME program regulations that would update energy and water efficiency standards, applicable to housing assisted by HOME funds.  These standards also have not been substantively addressed since 1996, and changes to energy and water efficiency products over the past 15 years have made significant strides in being both less costly to make and yielding savings in energy costs.  In addition to updating energy and water efficiency standards, this rule would implement a statutory change pertaining to HOME program rents for very-low income Housing Choice Voucher families.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands (FR-5423)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule would update and modify HUD's regulations governing the protection of wetlands and floodplains.  With respect to wetlands, the rule would codify existing procedures for Executive Order 11990 (E.O. 11990), Protection of Wetlands.  HUD's current policy is to require the use of E.O. 11990's 8 Step Process for floodplains for actions performed by the Department or actions performed with HUD financial assistance.  This rule would codify this policy and thereby improve consistency and increase transparency by placing the E.O. requirements in regulation.  With respect to floodplains, the rule would prohibit HUD funding (e.g., Community Development Block Grants, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, etc.) or Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance for the construction of new structures in Coastal High Hazard Areas.  The current regulations allow for such new construction so long as the construction is in accordance with certain standards.  The rule would also make several other changes to HUD's floodplain and wetland regulations; the changes are designed to streamline floodplain and wetland environmental procedures and avoid unnecessary delays in processing.]]></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 HUDs 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>

        <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>Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (FR-5542)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD, with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics, would revise HUD's Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct, which are regulations for HUD officers and employees that supplement the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch regulation issued by the Office of Government Ethics.  To help ensure a comprehensive and effective ethics program at HUD, and to address ethical issues unique to HUD, the rule reflects statutory changes that were enacted subsequent to the promulgation of HUD's Supplemental Standards of Conduct regulation in 1996; significantly, the transfer of general regulatory authority over the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.  In addition, the rule revises definitions used in HUD's Supplemental Standards of Conduct to reflect updated titles and positions and clarifies existing prohibitions on certain financial interest and outside employment to better guide employee conduct while upholding the integrity of HUD in the administration of its programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Housing Counseling: New Certification Requirements
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD's housing counseling program provides, through HUD-approved counseling agencies and state housing finance agencies, including their affiliates and branches, counseling to individuals seeking information about financing, maintaining, renting, or owning a home.  The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act amended the Housing Counseling statute to improve the effectiveness of the program by, among other things, requiring that the entities and individuals be certified by HUD as competent to provide such services, and prohibiting distribution of grant funds to agencies found in violation of federal election laws or who have employees found in violation of federal election laws, and requiring the reimbursement of grant funds for misuse of funds.  This proposed rule would revise HUD's housing counseling program regulations to adopt the new requirements applicable to counseling agencies and individual counselors, and the use of grant funds.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FHA Single Family Mortgage Insurance: Removal of the Inspector Roster and 10-Year Protection Plan Requirements for High Loan-to-Value Ratio Mortgages (FR-5457)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would streamline the inspection and home warranty requirements for FHA single-family mortgage insurance.  First, HUD proposes to remove the regulations for the FHA Inspector Roster (Roster).  The Roster is a list of inspectors selected by FHA as eligible to determine if the construction quality of a one- to four-unit property is acceptable as security for an FHA-insured loan.  HUD's regulations currently require the use of an inspector from the Roster as a condition for FHA mortgage insurance.  HUD's proposal to remove the Roster regulations is based on the recognition of the sufficiency and quality of inspections carried out by local jurisdictions.  Second, this proposed rule would also remove the regulations requiring 10-year protection plans required in order to qualify for high loan-to-value (LTV) FHA-insured mortgages as a condition of closing for newly constructed single-family homes.  The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 removed the statutory requirement for a warranty plan and other special requirements for high LTV.  High LTV mortgages would now be governed solely by the inspection requirements proposed in this rule because the proposed inspection requirements would apply to all new construction, regardless of LTV ratio.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Housing Administration (FHA): Mortgagor and Mortgagee Requirements for Flood Insurance for the FHA Single Family Program (FR-5581)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend the FHA Single Family Mortgage Insurance program regulations that require mortgagors and mortgagees to purchase and maintain flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).  Specifically, the rule would clarify the amount of flood insurance required to be purchased and maintained in order to be eligible to obtain FHA insurance on property located in an area designated as having special flood hazards or otherwise subject to flood hazards as determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator.  This proposed rule would amend the regulation to more closely conform to statutory requirements and the current NFIP program.  The changes proposed by this rule will facilitate increased consumer and industry understanding of FHA's program requirements, increase compliance with these requirements, and assist in ensuring that beneficiaries have a specific expectation of the amount that will be recovered for flood insurance claims on FHA insured properties.]]></ABSTRACT>

This proposed rule would revise the regulations governing FHA's Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program, which is FHA's reverse mortgage program that enables senior homeowners who have equity in their homes to withdraw a portion of the accumulated equity. The proposed rule would include several provisions regarding servicing and claims processing and would also cap the amount of insurance benefits paid in connection with a claim involving amounts advanced by the mortgagee on behalf of a HECM mortgagor who fails to pay such property charges when the HECM proceeds have been exhausted. The proposed rule would also establish a new property inspection requirement to insure that homes secured with a HECM mortgage are adequately maintained and meet applicable property standards.  The proposed rule would also make several non-substantive changes to reflect the statutory flexibility provided to HUD in establishing the mortgage insurance premiums for FHA-insured mortgages, conform the regulations to existing HUD interpretations and industry practices regarding HECM program requirements, and reduce administrative paperwork]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supportive Housing for Persons With Disabilities Implementing New Project Rental Assistance Authority (FR-5576)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule commences the rulemaking process to implement the project rental assistance authority as provided under the Frank Melville Supportive Housing Investment Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-374) (Melville Act), which was enacted on January 4, 2011.  The Melville Act amended section 811 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 8013), which authorizes the supportive housing program for persons with disabilities (section 811 program).  The Melville Act made significant changes to the section 811 program, with one of the most significant changes being the establishment of a new project rental assistance authority.  This new authority allows HUD to make Section 811 program operating assistance available to State housing agencies and similar organizations for the purposes of granting funds to the development of supportive housing for persons with disabilities and overseeing compliance with the requirements applicable to such housing.  This proposed rule would establish the requirements and procedures that would govern the eligibility and use of project rental assistance in HUD's supportive housing program for persons with disabilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Approval of Lending Institutions and Mortgagees: Streamlined Reporting Requirements for Small Supervised Lenders and Mortgagees  (FR-5536)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would create alternative financial statement reporting requirements for FHA-approved lenders and mortgagees that are supervised by a federal banking agency and whose consolidated assets do not meet the threshold set by their supervising federal banking agency for submission of audited financial statements (currently set at $500 million in consolidated assets).  HUD's regulations at 24 CFR § 202.5 currently require all lenders and mortgagees to submit audited financial statements as a condition for FHA lender approval and renewal. Through this proposed rule, in lieu of an audited financial statement, smaller supervised lenders and mortgagees would be required to submit a copy of their unaudited regulatory report prepared for another Federal agency that aligns with their fiscal year end. Small supervised lenders and mortgagees would only be required to submit an audited financial statement if HUD determines that the supervised lender or mortgagee poses a heightened risk to the FHA insurance fund. Because the Federal banking agencies do not require an audited financial statement for financial institutions with consolidated assets less than $500 million, this rule would align HUD practice with that of other agencies and lift an excessive regulatory burden in order to reduce the cost of participating in FHA programs. This rule would not affect the requirement that larger supervised lenders and mortgagees and all unsupervised lenders and mortgagees submit an audited financial statement and thus would not impact HUD's strong risk management practices.]]></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 to refinance existing loans of hospitals without FHA-insured mortgages, 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 of hospitals with non-FHA-insured mortgages 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Multifamily Housing Reform and Affordability Act:  Projects Eligible for a Restructuring Plan When Eligibility Is Determined (FR-5304)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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. Additionally, the rule would amend the regulation, which provides a cross-reference to the statutory list of types of projects that are eligible for mortgage restructuring, to incorporate that list into the regulation.]]></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[This rule would revise HUD's 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 continued credit crunch in the capital markets and the downturn in the multifamily market, HUD has determined that it 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 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>Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Single-Family Mortgage Insurance:  Elimination of Requests For Alternative Mortgage Limits (FR-5462) 
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would eliminate the process for requesting alternative FHA maximum mortgage amounts.  HUD currently sets the area-based loan limits on a yearly basis and permits appeals of these loan limits.  At the time the regulations permitting appeals were promulgated, there were no comprehensive, national databases of home sales transactions.    As a result, HUD relied on sales data provided by interested parties in determining loan limits for certain areas.  Today, however, HUD has available comprehensive direct sales transaction data and indirect home value data at the county level.  In addition, since HUD began this new information collection on price trends at a county level, the number of parties utilizing the appeals process has gone from 105 for the 2008 loan limits to zero for the 2011 loan limits.  For these reasons, HUD has determined that the regulations governing requests for alternative maximum mortgage amounts are outdated and unnecessarily disrupt HUD's loan limit determination process. Pursuant to E.O. 13563, HUD would remove these regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule would amend the regulations governing FHA's section 232 Healthcare Mortgage Insurance program (section 232 program).  The section 232 program insures mortgage loans to facilitate the construction, substantial rehabilitation, purchase, and refinancing, of nursing homes, intermediate care facilities, board and care homes, and assisted-living facilities.  This rule would reduce risk to the FHA insurance fund by establishing the criteria and process by which FHA will accept and pay a partial payment of the claim under the FHA mortgage insurance contract.  Through acceptance and payment of a partial payment of claim, FHA pays the mortgagee a portion of the unpaid principal balance and recasts a portion of the mortgage under terms and conditions determined by FHA, as an alternative to assigning the entire mortgage FHA.  This final rule also would allow FHA insured healthcare projects to continue operating and providing services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Housing Administration Risk Management Initiatives: New Manual Underwriting Requirements (FR-5595)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 15, 2010, HUD issued a notice seeking comment on three regulatory initiatives that HUD proposed would contribute to the restoration of the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund (MMIF) capital reserve account.  On September 3, 2010, HUD published a follow-up final rule implementing one of these proposals namely, the proposal to introduce a minimum credit score and reduce the maximum loan-to-value ratio for FHA single family mortgage insurance.  This final rule implements the second of these proposals.  Through this final rule FHA would tighten the underwriting standards for mortgage loan transactions that are manually underwritten.  At the end of the public comment period on August 16, 2010, HUD received 902 comments.  The overwhelming majority of the 902 public comments received by HUD in response to the July 15, 2010, notice focused on the proposal to limit seller concessions.  HUD reviewed and considered the issues raised by these commenters and has published as new proposed rule on the seller concessions portion of the proposal will address its final decision on seller concessions through a separate rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

HUD is developing another final rule to tighten the underwriting standards for mortgage loan transactions that are manually underwritten.  This matter addresses the third proposal, namely, the proposal to reduce the amount of closing costs a seller may pay on behalf of a homebuyer purchasing a home with financing insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).  On February 23,2012, HUD issued a notice seeking additional comment on an acceptable amount of seller concessions. The February 2012 notice took into consideration the public comments received on the July 15, 2010 notice regarding the proposed cap on "seller concessions" and revised the proposed cap in response to comment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Housing Administration (FHA): Multifamily Accelerated Processing--Enhancing and Strengthening Multifamily Accelerated Processing (FR-5444)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[HUD's Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) is a processing system introduced in 2000 as a pilot program to facilitate the accelerated processing of loan applications for FHA multifamily mortgage insurance, which generally involve the refinance, purchase, new construction, or rehabilitation of multifamily properties.  These transactions are costly, complicated, and time-consuming to process.  Prior to MAP, HUD field offices were encouraged to develop and test individual fast-track processing systems for use by qualified FHA-approved lenders that were experienced with processing loan applications for multifamily mortgages.  The intent was to considerably reduce the processing time of applications.  These test procedures included providing qualified lenders with the option of preparing FHA forms and undertaking preliminary underwriting for certain loan applications.  Fast-track processing procedures developed by individual HUD offices that were found to facilitate processing applications without sacrificing quality or increasing risk were consolidated into a national test of fast-track style processing of multifamily mortgage insurance applications under the name MAP.  MAP has been administered to date through direct instructions to FHA-approved lenders under a MAP Guide.  With approximately 11 years of experience with MAP, HUD believes the accelerated processing procedures have been successful.  To help ensure continued quality and efficiency of MAP procedures, HUD is codifying in regulations key provisions of MAP, and also introducing new provisions to strengthen MAP, to assure the integrity and competency of FHA-approved lenders as directed by the Helping Families Save their Homes Act of 2009.]]></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 onsite 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 onsite.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supportive Housing for the Elderly and Persons With Disabilities (FR-5167)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final 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 final rule would 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.  These regulatory changes would streamline the use of low income tax credits as well as funding from other sources and permit the mixed finance program to expedite the development of needed affordable housing projects.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Roof Truss Testing Procedure Updates to the Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standard (FR-5222)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule would amend the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards by adopting recommendations made by the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC). These recommendations were originally included in a proposed rule that 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 review. After further consideration, the MHCC submitted an amended proposal on roof truss testing which HUD, after incorporating minor revisions, published as a proposed rule on June 16, 2010.  This final rule includes many of MHCC's recommendations and would amend the required truss testing procedures of the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards to current industry methods and equipment in order to improve the performance and safety of trusses in high wind areas and to enhance the reliability and durability of trusses.  Specifically, this rule would modify upright or inverted test procedures in high wind areas in order to prevent premature failures of trusses.  This rule also would modify the current non-destructive test procedure to require a higher factor of safety and reduces the time required to conduct the test as well as the follow-up testing intervals.]]></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>Federal Housing Administration (FHA): Corrections to FHA&apos;s Strengthening Risk Management through Responsible FHA-Approved Lenders Rule (FR-5622)

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of HUD's efforts to strengthen the risk management practices of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), HUD published a final rule on April 20, 2010, revising its regulations pertaining to the FHA approval of mortgage lenders. The April 20, 2010, final rule increased the net worth requirement for FHA-approved lenders and mortgagees, eliminated HUD's approval of loan correspondents, and amended the general approval standards for lenders and mortgagees. This final rule makes several non-substantive clarifications and corrections to the provisions of the April 20, 2010, final rule. These clarifications and corrections will improve the clarity of HUD's regulatory requirements, thereby facilitating compliance by program participants as well as HUD's ability to monitor and enforce these risk management provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Housing Administration (FHA):  Time Restrictions on Re-Sale of FHA-Insured Properties(FR-5528)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim rule would revise HUD's regulations governing the time restrictions on the use of FHA financing to purchase properties that are resold, within certain time periods, after the previous acquisition of such properties.  Through this rule, HUD would make two changes.  HUD would remove the permanent exclusion of eligibility for FHA mortgage insurance for properties that are resold within 90 days or less of the prior acquisition.  Additionally, HUD would provide for the documentation requirements applicable to such time periods in a Federal Register notice and HUD's website, instead of having such conditions codified in HUD's regulations.  The waiver of HUD's time restrictions on re-sales of properties, for which FHA mortgage insurance is sought, occurring within 90 days that commenced in 2010 and continued in 2011, demonstrated to HUD that precluding all properties, without exception, resold within 90 days from eligibility for FHA mortgage insurance was no longer necessary.  Additionally, the waiver underscored the need for HUD to be able to adjust the conditions of the time restrictions of re-sales depending on the state of the housing market.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Housing Administration (FHA): Suspension of Section 238(c) Single Family Mortgage Insurance in Military Impacted Areas (FR-5461) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would suspend FHA's mortgage insurance program for military impacted areas under section 238(c) of the National Housing Act (Act), and remove the regulations that establish eligibility for receipt of mortgage insurance under this program.  This single-family mortgage insurance program, established by regulation in 1977, has been significantly underutilized for the past several years.  Additionally, these mortgage loans are insured under comparable terms and conditions as HUD's primary single family mortgage insurance program under section 203(b) of the National Housing Act.  Accordingly, those borrowers that would be served under section 238(c) of the Act are served equally well under the section 203(b) mortgage insurance program.   The suspension of this mortgage insurance program is consistent with the President's budget request for fiscal years 2011 and 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Housing Administration (FHA):  Section 232 Healthcare Facility Insurance Program--Strengthening Accountability and Regulatory Revisions Update (FR-5465) 
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2010 through 2011, HUD commenced and completed the process of revising regulations applicable to, and closing documents used in, FHA insurance of multifamily rental projects, to reflect current policy and practices in the multifamily mortgage market. The multifamily rental project regulations and closing documents had not been updated in more than 20 years. HUD commenced a similar process for its regulations governing insurance of healthcare facilities under section 232 of the National Housing Act, and the closing documents used in such transactions through a proposed rule published on May 3, 2012. HUD's section 232 program insures mortgage loans to facilitate the construction, substantial rehabilitation, purchase, and refinancing of nursing homes, intermediate care facilities, board and care homes, and assisted-living facilities. This final rule would update HUD's Section 232 regulations, to reflect current policy and practices, and to improve accountability and strengthen risk management.]]></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>Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Rural Housing Stability Program (FR-5573)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would provide for the establishment of regulations for Rural Housing Stability Assistance Program, as required 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 three of the existing homeless assistance programs administered by HUD under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act into a single grant program and creates the new Emergency Solutions Grant Program and the Rural Housing Stability Program. The HEARTH Act also codifies in law the Continuum of Care planning process, as well as certain data collection requirements integral to HMIS, which is the current information technology system that HUD and its grantees use for the existing homeless assistance programs. This new program provides assistance to persons who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and in worst case housing in rural areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Housing Trust Fund (FR-5405)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) 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.  On October 29, 2010, HUD published for public comment the regulations that will govern the Housing Trust Fund.  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:  Emergency Solutions Grants Program and Consolidated Plan Conforming Amendments  (FR-5474)  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This 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 rule would finalize the regulations to implement the new Emergency Solutions Grants program. The new Emergency Solutions Grants program replaced 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 rule provides 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 rule focuses on regulatory implementation of the Continuum of Care program, including the Continuum of Care planning process. The existing homeless assistance programs that comprise the Continuum of Care program are the following: the Supportive Housing program, the Shelter Plus Care program, and the Moderate Rehabilitation/Single Room Occupancy (SRO) program. This rule establishes the regulations that would govern the establishment of a Continuum of Care, the regulations for the Continuum of Care program, and the regulations governing the Continuum of Care planning process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <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 would 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 would provide the regulations to implement those provisions of HERA that require implementing regulations, as well as conforming regulations for the self-executing provisions of HERA and takes into consideration the comments received on November 2008 notice as well as the May 2012 proposed rule.  This rule would also make 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>Revisions to the Consortia of Public Housing Agencies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise HUD's public housing agency (PHA) consortium regulations. These regulations provide the procedures by which PHAs may choose to administer their public housing and Section 8 programs.  The changes are intended to increase administrative efficiencies associated with forming a consortium, and to help ensure maximum family choice in locating suitable housing.  The proposed rule focuses mainly on establishing a new category of consortia for administration of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program.  This type of consortium would be comprised of multiple PHAs that would become a single PHA, with a single jurisdiction and a single set of reporting and audit requirements, for purposes of administering the Section 8 HCV program.  The proposed rule would also revise the categories of Section 8 programs eligible to be administered under a consortium.    HUD also proposes to establish new requirements regarding the timeframes for the establishment and dissolution of a consortium.  Further, HUD has taken the opportunity afforded by this proposed rule to make several technical, non-substantive changes to improve the clarity and organization of the consortia regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Demolition and/or Disposition of Public Housing Program (FR-5399)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise the HUD regulation governing the demolition and/or disposition of public housing projects (dwelling units, non-dwelling structures, and vacant land). This rule would govern 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 a public housing project (other than demolitions through the HOPE VI program). This rule would clarify 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 would 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 would also add 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>Tenant-Based Rental Assistance; Improving Performance Through a Strengthened Section 8 Management Assessment Program (FR-5201)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SEMAP establishes the management indicators used by HUD to measure the performance of public housing agencies (PHA) in key areas of the section 8 rental assistance programs and to assign performance ratings. The proposed rule would revise the indicator that measures section 8 voucher use to encourage PHAs to maximize the number of section 8 families served.  Specifically, under this revised indicator, HUD will not only consider the number of vouchers available to a PHA, but also the funds available to the PHA, including budget authority and a portion of reserves.  HUD also proposes to assume responsibility for conducting the inspections used to measure a PHA's compliance with housing quality standards (HQS).  Currently, HUD measures HQS compliance through a reporting requirement for PHA self-conducted inspections.  The proposed rule would also establish a new deconcentration indicator that will evaluate the ability of section 8 families with children to access neighborhoods with below-average poverty rates or neighborhoods with above-average schools.]]></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 rule would consider the public comments on the Interim rule.  The Interim rule made two sets of amendments to improve the evaluation and oversight of public housing agencies (PHAs). The Interim rule amended HUD's Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) regulations by: (1) consolidating the regulations governing assessment of public housing into one part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR); and (2) revising certain provisions of the PHAS regulation, based on HUD's experience since it was established in 1998; and (3) updating certain PHAS procedures to reflect the conversion of PHA operations to asset management.  Second, the Interim rule established, in a separate part of the CFR, the regulations that specify the actions or inactions by which a PHA can be determined to be in substantial default, the procedures for a PHA to respond to the determination or finding, and the sanctions available to HUD to address and remedy substantial default by a PHA. Because the actions or inactions that constitute substantial default are not limited to failure to comply with PHAS regulations, the regulations applicable to substantial default were more appropriately codified in a separate CFR part.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Housing Energy Audits and Physical Needs Assessments(FR-5507)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule consolidates the Physical Needs Assessment (PNA) rule (FR-5361) with the Public Housing Energy Audit rule (FR-5507).  With respect to the energy audit, the rule would distinguish between "core energy conservation measures" (ECMs) that must be addressed and "advanced ECMs" that may be addressed.  The rule would also establish minimum requirements for energy auditors and moves the energy audit requirements to a different part of HUD's title of the Code of Federal Regulations.  With respect to the PNA, the rule would require public housing agencies to project current modernization and life-cycle replacement repair needs of its projects over a 20-year period, rather than a 5-year period, to better coincide with the useful life of individual properties and their building components and systems to ensure the long-term viability of the property.  HUD would consolidate these two rules to facilitate greater synchronization between the energy audit and the PNA, so that energy audit data can be better integrated into the PNA and allow for future capital planning activities that take into consideration possible energy savings.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule would amend HUD's regulations governing portability in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program.  Portability is a feature of the HCV program that allows an eligible family with a housing choice voucher to use that voucher to lease a unit anywhere in the United States where there is a public housing agency (PHA) operating an HCV program.  The purpose of HUD's changes to the portability regulations is to streamline the process and reduce the administrative burdens involved with processing portability requests to enable initial and receiving PHAs to better serve families and expand housing opportunities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Physical Needs Assessment (FR-5361)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule would 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 would integrate the performance of the PNA with the performance of an energy audit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of the Indian HOME Investment Partnerships Program Regulations (FR-5568)  
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule removes HUD's outdated regulations for the Indian HOME Investment Partnerships (Indian HOME) program. Under the Indian HOME program, HUD awarded funds competitively to eligible applicants to provide affordable housing. The Indian HOME program was replaced by the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program established under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA). However, HUD retained the Indian HOME program regulations because they continued to govern grants awarded prior to the enactment of NAHASDA. Since September 30, 1997, HUD has not awarded grants under the Indian HOME program and, therefore, the regulations are no longer necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule is an annual amendment of the Bureau of Land Management's mineral resources regulations that provide for recovering some of the costs for processing certain documents required under various minerals programs.  Examples of fees that will be updated include fees for solid minerals (other than coal and oil shale), lease renewals, and mineral patent adjudications.  The Interior Department's Office of Inspector General recommended the annual fee changes in 1988 in response to a 1980s Presidential initiative, which called for all Federal agencies to charge appropriate user fees for agency services.]]></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 timber 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[BLM is proposing this rule to amend regulations on locating, recording, and maintaining mining claims or sites.  In this rule, BLM would amend its regulations to respond to a recent law that changes the way the maintenance fee is calculated for unpatented placer mining claims.  The law (1) specifies that the holder of an unpatented placer mining claim must pay the initial and annual maintenance fee for each 20 acres or portion thereof contained in the claim; and (2) reiterates that an initial maintenance fee payment is due at the time of recording the claim with the BLM and that the annual maintenance fee is due on or before September 1 of each year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Structural Design Requirements for Offshore Renewable Energy Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[BOEM's current design standard regulations for renewable energy facilities are stated in general terms.  For example, under current regulations, a construction and operations plan must "demonstrate that you have planned and are prepared to conduct the proposed activities in a manner that . . . is safe," (30 CFR section 285.621(b)) and it must contain, among other things, a description of "safety, prevention, and environmental protection features or measures that you will use" (30 CFR section 285.626(b)(8)).  Moreover, the Facility Design Report must include structural drawings, engineering and design data, design calculations, a description of loads imposed on the facility, etc.  The new regulations will provide goal-based standards and functional requirements that are performance-based rather than prescriptive in nature.  Such regulations will allow for the development of new technologies that are necessary if offshore wind farms are to develop into a cost-effective energy source.  Moreover, the regulations will be risk-informed.  The goal-based standards can be supplemented by prescriptive international and national standards and industry-developed guidelines where appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Technical Changes to Safety Requirements for Offshore Oil and Gas Platforms</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Allocation and Disbursement of Royalties, Rentals, and Bonuses--Oil and Gas</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) proposes to amend the regulations on distribution and disbursement of royalties, rentals, and bonuses to include the allocation and disbursement of revenues from certain leases on the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf in accordance with the provisions of the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 (GOMESA).  The proposed regulations set forth the formula and methodology for calculating and allocating revenues during the second phase of revenue sharing to the States of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, their eligible coastal political subdivisions (CPSs), and the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).  Additionally, the GOMESA Phase-I regulations are being moved from Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to ONRR, and minor definitional changes are proposed to these current revenue sharing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rewrite of subpart H regulations would address issues such as production safety systems, subsurface safety devices, and safety device testing.

        <RULE_TITLE>Blowout Prevention Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise regulations related to blowout preventers (BOPs).  BSEE regulations for BOPs currently consist of: (1) Field pressure and functions tests, (2) generic performance statements related to BOP capabilities, and (3) several generic industry practices related to inspection and maintenance.  The industry is developing new standards for BOP design and testing that contain significant improvements to existing documents.  By incorporating these new requirements into regulations and possibly other supplemental requirements, the regulatory oversight over this critical equipment will be increased.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 1 year to 2 years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose regulations that ensure that all operators conducting oil or gas operations within a National Wildlife Refuge System unit do so in a manner as to prevent or minimize damage to National Wildlife Refuge System resources, visitor values, and management objectives. FWS does not intend these regulations to result in a taking of a property Interest, but rather to impose reasonable controls on operations that affect federally owned or controlled lands and/or waters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We intend to establish Service policy for managing cultural resources (614 FW 1-7) for lands, facilities, and programs we administer on national wildlife refuges.  We recognize cultural resources (archaelogical resources, historic and architectural properties, and areas or sites of traditional or religious significance to Native Americans) as fragile, irreplaceable assets with potential public and scientific uses, representing an important and integral part of our nation's heritage. It is our policy to identify, protect, and manage cultural resources located on our lands and affected by our undertakings (any Service, Service-assisted, or Service-licensed or permitted project, activity, or program), in a spirit of stewardship and in compliance with cultural resource legislation, for future generations.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are revising our migratory bird banding and marking regulations to:  (1) Reflect the transfer of authority for the Federal bird banding and marking permit program to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); (2) define the qualification guidelines for different levels of banding and marking authorization; and (3) address changes in banding and marking technology.  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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We published a proposed rule for the Boating Infrastructure Grant (BIG) program and accepted comments. The purpose of the proposed rule was to clarify program requirements and address issues in program management that were identified in a June 2005 report, "A Review of the BIG Program, 2000-2003," by the FACA-chartered Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council. Eleven of the 22 comments we received requested an extension to the comment period. We will address comments, amend the proposed rule, and republish it, with another 60-day public comment period. The amended proposed rule will address program topics, respond to comments received, and clarify language.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Wildlife and Fisheries; Clean Vessel Act Grant Program; Financial Assistance  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to revise our regulations that establish requirements for State participation in the Clean Vessel Act Grant Program. The revisions reflect changes in the U.S. Code, improve program management and understanding, and incorporate plain language standards. The national CVA Program provides funds for States to install facilities for boaters to dispose of septic waste from recreational vessels with holding tanks and to provide information and education on the use, location, and benefits of pumpout facilities. The Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council, a group chartered by the Federal Advisory Committee Act, published a June 2008 report that identified 30 recommendations for improving the program in the areas of administration, reporting, funding, project maintenance, and operation. The revised regulations will address program topics that will improve management, execution, and participation.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are proposing a listing and critical habitat package using a multi-species ecosystem approach for the island cluster of Maui Nui in the State of Hawaii. We propose to newly list 38 species (35 plants and three tree snails) and reaffirm the listing of two species from the island cluster of Maui Nui (Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Kahoolawe) in the State of Hawaii as endangered. We will concurrently propose to designate 271,062 acres as critical habitat. We also propose to revise already designated critical habitat for 85 species, designate critical habitat for 11 species that do not have critical habitat designated, designate critical habitat for 37 of the 38 newly listed species, and revise/designate critical habitat for the two species with name changes.]]></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>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We intend to revise the regulations for double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) management within the United States, by revising the 2003 Environmental Impact Statement on Double-crested Cormorant Management. Under current regulations, control activities are justified and conducted annually at the local level by individuals or agencies operating under depredation permits, the Aquaculture Depredation Order, or the Public Resource Depredation Order. Ultimately, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director will decide, through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, on a national management strategy to replace the existing depredation orders, which will expire June 30, 2014.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to revise our existing special rule under section 4(d) of the ESA for African elephants (Loxodonta africana spp.) in order to allow for the import of ivory specimens for scientific and law enforcement purposes. Since import for these purposes may support the conservation of the species, we seek to amend this rule to ensure that it does not prohibit activities that would support the purposes of the ESA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Court decisions rendered over the last decade regarding the adequacy of incidental take statements have prompted us, along with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA, Commerce), to consider clarifying our regulations concerning two aspects of issuance of incidental take statements during section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act. The proposed regulatory changes will specifically address the use of surrogates to express the limit of exempted take and how to determine when deferral of an incidental take exemption is appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Definition of &quot;Destruction or Adverse Modification&quot; of Critical Habitat</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule will amend the existing regulations governing section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act to revise the definition of "destruction or adverse modification" of critical habitat. The current regulatory definition has been invalidated by the courts for being inconsistent with the language of the Endangered Species Act. We therefore need to propose a revised definition and seek public review and comment. This is a joint rulemaking with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA, Commerce).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Permits; Removal of Depredation Orders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to remove 50 CFR 21.42, 21.45, and 21.46, all of which govern control of depredating migratory birds. Three counties in California have reported control of depredating birds under 50 CFR 21.44, while there have been no activities under the other sections for many years. Because the regulations are unused or little used, we propose to remove them. Control of depredating birds could still be undertaken under depredation permits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination and Critical Habitat Designation for the Dakota Skipper and Poweshiek</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a listing determination and designate critical habitat for the Dakota Skipper and Poweshiek (Hesperia dacotae and Oarisma poweshiek) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The Dakota skipper is a small- to mid-sized butterfly that inhabits high-quality tallgrass and mixed grass prairie in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota in the United States, and the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan in Canada. The species is presumed to be extirpated from Iowa and Illinois and from many sites within occupied States. The Poweshiek skipperling is a small butterfly that inhabits high-quality tallgrass prairie in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, and prairie fens in Michigan; it also occurs in the province of Manitoba, Canada. The species is presumed to be extirpated from Illinois and Indiana, as well as from many sites within occupied States. Both species are threatened by degradation of their native prairie habitat from overgrazing, invasive species, gravel mining, and herbicide applications. Inbreeding, population isolation, and prescribed fire threaten some populations. Part of a multidistrict litigation agreement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination and Critical Habitat Designation for Two Tennessee River Mussels</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to list two Tennessee river mussels--fluted kidneyshell and slabside pearlymussel (Ptychobranchus subtentum and Lexingtonia dolabelloides)--as endangered pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. We also propose to designate critical habitat for these two freshwater mussels, which are endemic to the Tennessee and Cumberland River systems in Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Once widely distributed, the fluted kidneyshell is now limited to 12 locations, and the slabside pearlymussel is found in only 10 sites.  These species depend on clear, clean, and free-flowing shoal habitat and the presence of host fish for reproduction. Major threats include impoundment (dams), environmental contaminants, sedimentation, and direct loss of habitat.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination and Critical Habitat Designation for Three Sierra Amphibians</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a listing determination and designate critical habitat for three Sierra amphibians pursuant to the Endangered Species Act: Yosemite toad (Bufo canorus), mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa) (Sierra distinct population segment), and Sierra yellow-legged frog (R. sierrae). Mountain yellow-legged frog has gone through a taxonomic change and has been split into two separate species; the split-off species is the Sierra yellow-legged frog. We will propose to recognize the new taxonomy and determine the status of all three species. The historic range of Yosemite toad is in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, from Alpine County to south of Kaiser Pass in Fresno County. The threats currently facing the Yosemite toad include cattle grazing, timber harvesting, recreation, disease, and the effects of climate change. The other two species inhabit the high-elevation lakes, ponds, and streams in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, and predation by introduced trout, disease, and the effects of climate change are the major threats. Part of a multidistrict litigation agreement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a listing determination and designate critical habitat for three South Florida plants pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. We will propose to list as endangered or threatened and determine prudency and determinability of designating critical habitat for aboriginal prickly-apple (Harrisia aboriginum), Cape Sable thoroughwort (Chromolaena frustrata (= Eupatorium frustratum)), and Florida semaphore cactus (Consolea corallicola). The aboriginal prickly-apple is an erect cactus occurring on coastal berms, spoil mounds, maritime hammocks, shell middens, and at the mangrove-hammock ecotone in Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee Counties in southwest Florida. The Cape Sable thoroughwort is an herb endemic to the Florida Keys and Cape Sable in Monroe and Miami-Dade Counties, and is most commonly found at the edges of rockland hammock and in coastal rock barrens. The Florida semaphore cactus is an erect, trunk-forming cactus endemic to the Florida Keys and growing on bare rock with minimal soils between rockland hammocks and mangrove swamps.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination and Critical Habitat Designation for the Bi-State DPS of Greater Sage Grouse</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a listing determination and designate critical habitat for the bi-State distinct population segment (DPS) of the greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. On March 23, 2010, we published a 12-month finding that the bi-State sage grouse constituted a valid DPS and initiated a status review (75 FR 13909). The range of the bi-State sage grouse is portions of western Nevada. Destruction and modification of greater sage-grouse habitat due to urbanization, infrastructure (e.g., fences, powerlines, and roads), mining, renewable energy development, grazing, wildfire, invasive plant species, and the effects of climate change are the greatest threats to the DPS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a listing determination and designate critical habitat for the Coral Pink Sand Dunes tiger beetle (Cicindela albissima) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. The species occurs only at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Kane County, in south-central Utah, and is restricted to approximately 234 hectares (577 acres) of habitat within the dune field. Drought conditions have suppressed the beetle's reproductive capabilities. In addition, the beetle's habitat is being adversely affected by ongoing recreational off-road vehicle use. The beetle's population also is vulnerable to overcollecting by professional and hobby tiger beetle collectors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a listing determination and designate critical habitat for the diamond darter (Crystallaria cincotta) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. This fish currently occurs within the portion of the Elk River below Sutton Dam in Kanawha and Clay Counties, West Virginia. Historic records of the species indicate that it was distributed throughout the Ohio River Basin. The species' primary threats include ongoing water quality degradation and habitat loss from activities such as coal mining, oil and gas development, siltation from these and other sources, inadequate sewage and wastewater treatment, and direct habitat loss and alteration through activities such as bridge construction. The impoundment of rivers in the Ohio River Basin has eliminated much of the species' habitat and isolated the existing population from other watersheds that the species historically occupied. The small size and restricted range of the remaining diamond darter population make it particularly susceptible to the effects of genetic inbreeding, as well as potential extirpation from spills and other catastrophic events.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to list the Florida bonneted bat (Eumops floridanus) as endangered pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The Florida bonneted bat occurs in only south and central Florida and has one of the most restricted distributions of any bat species in the New World. Habitat requirements are poorly understood, and no active natural roost sites are known. The species feeds on flying insects and forages high in the air over open water, wetlands, and other habitats. It has been known to roost in tree cavities, shafts of palm leaves, outcrops, buildings, and bat houses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a listing determination and designate critical habitat for the grotto sculpin (Cottus spp.) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. The sculpin, a cave-dwelling fish, is restricted to two karst areas (limestone regions characterized by sink holes, abrupt ridges, caves, and underground streams), the Central Perryville Karst and Mystery-Rimstone Karst, in Perry County, southeast Missouri. The current overall range of the grotto sculpin has been estimated to encompass approximately 260 square kilometers (100 square miles). The small population size and endemism of the grotto sculpin make it vulnerable to extinction due to genetic drift, inbreeding depression, and random or chance changes to the environment. Current threats to the habitat of the grotto sculpin may exacerbate potential problems associated with its low population numbers and increase the likelihood of extinction.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination and Critical Habitat Designation for the Northeast Red Knot</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a listing determination and designate critical habitat for the Northeast red knot (Calidris canutus rufa) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. This bird travels between breeding areas in the central Canadian Arctic and wintering areas that are primarily in southern South America along the coast of Chile and Argentina. They migrate along the Atlantic coast of the United States, where they may be found from Maine to Florida. The primary threat to the red knot has been attributed to destruction and modification of its habitat, particularly the reduction in key food resources resulting from reductions in horseshoe crabs, which are harvested primarily for use as bait and secondarily to support a biomedical industry. Other identified threat factors include habitat destruction due to beach erosion and various shoreline protection and stabilization projects that are affecting areas used by migrating knots for foraging; the inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; human disturbance; and competition with other species for limited food resources. Also, the concentration of red knots in the Delaware Bay areas and at a relatively small number of wintering areas makes the species vulnerable to potential large-scale events such as oil spills or severe weather.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make listing determinations and designate critical habitat for two Puget Trough Species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act: the Streaked horned lark and Taylor's checkerspot butterfly. The streaked horned lark (Eremophila alpestris strigata) is found in the remnant prairie ecosystems and coastal dune habitat, preferring bare ground or sparsely vegetated habitats. The lark's current range includes the central and northern Willamette Valley in Oregon and the south Puget Sound and coastal areas in Washington. The Taylor's checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha taylor) also occurs in the glacial wash prairie ecosystems in the south Puget Sound area, with additional populations in grasslands and balds on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington, and grasslands in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, and one population in a recent clear cut in British Columbia.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination and Critical Habitat Designation for the Wolverine</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a listing determination and designate critical habitat for the wolverine (Gulo gulo luscus) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The North American wolverine is a terrestrial mammal that occurs in a wide variety of alpine, boreal, and arctic habitats. Within the contiguous United States, which constitutes a distinct population segment (DPS), wolverine habitat is restricted to high-elevation areas in the West.  Their current distribution includes functioning populations in the North Cascades Mountains and the northern Rocky Mountains, as well as populations that have not yet reestablished in the southern Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada.  The primary threat to this DPS is from habitat and range loss due to climate warming. Climate changes are predicted to reduce wolverine habitat and range by 23 percent over the next 30 years, and 63 percent over the next 75 years, rendering remaining habitat significantly smaller and more fragmented.  Other secondary threats to the wolverine that could work in concert with climate change include harvest, disturbance, infrastructure, transportation corridors, and small effective population sizes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determination and Critical Habitat Designation for the Vandenberg Monkeyflower</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make a listing determination and designate critical habitat for the Vandenberg monkeyflower (Mimulus fremontii var. vandenbergensis) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.  The Vandenberg monkeyflower occurs only in western Santa Barbara County, California, at lower elevations and closer to the coast, in sandy openings of coastal scrub, chaparral, and woodlands on an old dune sheet known as Burton Mesa.  On November 10, 2010, we added the Vandenberg monkeyflower to our candidate list in the Review of Native Species that are Candidates for Listing as Endangered or Threatened (75 FR 69222). The threats currently facing Mimulus fremontii var. vandenbergensis include alteration and destruction of habitat from development, habitat fragmentation, alteration of hydrology, competition with nonnative species, alteration of fire regimes, stochastic extinction due to small population size, and the effects of climate change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Eagle Permits; Modifications to Regulations Governing Take to Protect Interests in Particular Localities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are accepting public comment on changes that would be appropriate to eagle take permit regulations finalized in 2009. The regulations cover take of eagles that is associated with, but the purpose of, otherwise lawful activities, such as operation and construction of necessary utilities, road maintenance including bridge repairs, and the safe operation of airports. During the 2 years that the regulations have been in effect, some members of the regulated community have expressed concerns with the 5-year permit tenure, the issuance criteria, and other provisions. We would like to give all interested members of the public the opportunity to review the regulations and recommend revisions that would improve their ability to serve the public while protecting eagles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule makes three substantive changes to our July 6, 2012, proposed rule to list the Ara macao macao (A. m. macao; no common name): (1) We are now proposing to list the northern distinct population segment (DPS), which is found in Costa Rica, Panama, and northern Columbia, as threatened rather than endangered; (2) we are adding a proposal to list the southern DPS (found in southern Columbia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador) of A. m. macao and intraspecific crosses as threatened based on similarity of appearance; and (3) we are adding a proposed special rule to define activities under section 9 of the ESA that would and would not constitute take of individuals listed as threatened. In our original proposed rule, we also proposed that the northern subspecies (A. m. cyanoptera; also no common name, found in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua) be listed as endangered. We are not revising that proposed status.]]></ABSTRACT>

We will reestablish the Topeka shiner under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, and classify the reestablished populations as a nonessential experimental population within Adair, Gentry, Harrison, Putnam, Sullivan, and Worth Counties, Missouri.  We listed the Topeka shiner as endangered throughout its range on December 15, 1998, under the Endangered Species Act. A final rule designating critical habitat was published in the Federal Register on July 27, 2004.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reclassifying the Mexican Gray Wolf and Revising Its Nonessential Experimental Population Regulation in Arizona and New Mexico  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would propose to (1) transfer the 1998 10(j) rule that authorized the establishment of the nonessential experimental population of the Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) from the C. lupus listing to the subspecies (C. l. baileyi) we are proposing to list in a separate rulemaking and (2) amend the 1998 10(j) rule by removing the stipulation that captive-raised wolves may only be released into the Primary Recovery Zone of the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area (BRWRA).  This proposed amendment does not expand or change the area in which wolves are currently allowed to persist, but rather allows for initial release of captive-raised wolves within the entire Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area (BRWRA).  Under the current final 10(j) rule, wolves are only allowed to be initially released from captivity in the Primary Recovery Zone (PRZ) of the BRWRA.  The BRWRA is comprised of two zones, and the PRZ is only a small portion (16 percent) of the entire area.  The PRZ is situated entirely within the State of Arizona.  The remainder of the BRWRA is comprised of the Secondary Recovery Zone (SRZ), which includes all of the recovery area in New Mexico and a portion of Arizona, and is available for wolves to recolonize naturally or translocated there, but not be initially released there from captivity (i.e., only wolves with previous wild experience can be released in the SRZ).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make determinations regarding listing and critical habitat for the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius luteus) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.  This species is endemic to New Mexico, Arizona, and a small area of southern Colorado, and is a current candidate for listing under the ESA. The jumping mouse nests in dry soils but uses moist, streamside, dense riparian/wetland vegetation.  Recent genetic studies confirm that the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse is a distinct subspecies from other Zapus hudsonius subspecies, confirming the currently accepted subspecies designation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to propose to establish regulations that will expand on existing Department of the Interior (DOI) regulations at 43 CFR 12 that prescribe processes applicants and grantees must follow when applying for and managing grants from programs in the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). These regulations would apply to States and other grantees and subgrantees for the management of Federal financial assistance totaling in the billions of dollars. They also would lead to enhanced accountability, standardization of processes, and the ability to report to DOI, Congress, and others on cumulative information that is required to determine program success and to carry out decisionmaking processes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Hunting; Approval of Nontoxic Shot for Use in Waterfowl Hunting</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to revise our regulations for approving nontoxic shot types for use in hunting of waterfowl. Some changes are not substantive and would make the regulations easier to understand. We also propose to move the Tier-2 in-vitro testing to Tier 1, which will allow us to better assess applications and minimize the need for Tier-2 applications. We expect these proposed revisions to reduce the time required for nontoxic shot approvals. Finally, we propose to add language for withdrawal of alloys that have been demonstrated to have detrimental environmental or biological effects, or for which no suitable field testing device is available.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Permits; Removal of Bronzed Cowbird, Shiny Cowbird, and Yellow-Billed Magpie From Depredation Order</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose changes to the regulations governing control of depredating blackbirds, cowbirds, grackles, crows, and magpies. We propose to remove three species from the depredation order. We would remove the bronzed cowbird (Molothrus aeneus) and the shiny cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis), because neither occurs in sufficient numbers in the United States to cause depredation problems. We would also remove the yellow-billed magpie (Pica nuttalli) from the order. This species is endemic to California and has suffered substantial population declines; it is a species of conservation concern. After these changes, a depredation permit would be necessary to control any of these species. We also propose to narrow the application of the regulation to exclude its use in livestock or wildlife depredation, as these are rare occurrences that can be addressed by a depredation permit for each specific circumstance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to designate critical habitat for Arctostaphylos franciscana (Franciscan manzanita, or San Francisco manzanita), a plant found only in San Francisco. We are undertaking this action as the result of a court-approved settlement agreement. The San Francisco manzanita was thought to be extinct in the wild, but a single plant was found growing in a road median on Federal land. The individual was transplanted in January 2010 to a new location on the Presidio of San Francisco, a unit of the National Park Service system on the San Francisco Peninsula.]]></ABSTRACT>

The revisions would specify the counties in which this order is effective, better identify which species may be taken under the order, add a requirement that landowners attempt nonlethal control before employing lethal means, add a requirement for use of ammunition that is nontoxic to the environment, and update requirements for reporting of control activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Service was petitioned to list the blue throated macaw, a bird species, in 1991; however, listing was found to be warranted but precluded by higher priority actions. This species, endemic to Bolivia, is believed to consist of between 100 and 300 individuals in the wild. It has been intensely managed for several years by nongovernmental organizations; however, the population in the wild continues to decline due to numerous threats. We are now preparing to make a listing determination for this species.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Eligibility Requirements for Financial Assistance Programs in the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will propose regulations that would describe the eligibility requirements, selection processes, and award processes for grants administered in part or in full by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Service currently has 9 active mandatory programs and subprograms, and 15 active discretionary programs and subprograms. We will include requirements that all programs must meet, requirements that are specific to mandatory or discretionary grants, formulas for mandatory grants, and eligibility criteria for discretionary grants. We will also implement current policy and standards. This rulemaking will provide clarity to the public, because it will organize and bring together information that currently does not exist in one location.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Southern White Rhino (Africa) as Threatened Due to Similarity of Appearance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to propose to list the southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) as threatened under the "Similarity of Appearance" provisions of the ESA. This species is found in several countries in southern Africa. Horns and other products are made from southern white rhino, as well as from five endangered rhino species: Javan (Rhinoceros sondaicus), Sumatran (Dicerorhinos sumatrensis), Indian (Rhinoceros unicornis), Black (Diceros bicornis), and Northern White (Ceratotherium simum cottoni). These five endangered rhino species occur in various countries in southern Africa and southeast Asia. 

The similarity of appearance liisting we are proposing addresses the difficulty law enforcement personnel face in distinguishing parts and products made from the five endangered rhino species from those made from the unlisted southern white rhino. Such take continues to be a threat to all rhinoceros species and hinders efforts to enforce and further the provisions of the ESA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Hunting; 2013-2014 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Regulations </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will issue annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2013-14 hunting season. We annually prescribe outside limits (frameworks), within which States may select hunting seasons. We also request proposals from Indian tribes that wish to establish special migratory bird hunting regulations on Federal Indian reservations and ceded lands and proposals for the 2013-14 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; Listing Four Subspecies of Mazama Pocket Gopher and Designation of Critical Habitat </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, propose to list four subspecies of Mazama pocket gopher (Olympia, Tenino, Yelm, and Roy Prairie) as threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).  We additionally propose to designate critical habitat for these species.  We have determined that the Tacoma pocket gopher is extinct, and that the listing of three other subspecies of Mazama pocket gopher (Shelton, Cathlamet, and Olympic) is not warranted.  These determinations fulfill our obligations under a settlement agreement.  These are proposed regulations, and if finalized, the effect of these regulations will be to add these species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and to designate critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Amending the Format of the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (&quot;When Listed&quot; Column)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will publish a final technical amendment of the format of the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants, in accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. This is not a substantive change to the lists, nor to any applicable regulations. We will change the content of the "When Listed" column in each of the lists (at 50 CFR 17.11 for animals and 50 CFR 17.12 for plants). The purpose of this column is to cite the Federal Register publication of the final rule that added a species to the list or reclassified it on the list. Right now, this column provides a footnote, and the actual citation of the relevant Federal Register publication appears at the end of each of the lists. We will replace the footnote with the actual citation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>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>

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 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>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are preparing a final rule listing the Philippine cockatoo (Cacatua haematuropygia) and the yellow-crested cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea) as endangered, and the white cockatoo as threatened, under the ESA. We will also finalize a special rule for the white cockatoo.  The Philippine cockatoo is endemic to the Philippines, whereas the yellow-crested and white cockatoos are endemic to Indonesia.  We determined in our earlier status review that the crimson shining parrot (Prosopeia splendens), endemic to Fiji, did not warrant listing under the ESA.]]></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>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 finalize our proposal to list as 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>Eagle Permits; Changes in the Regulations Governing Eagle Permitting</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will finalize our proposal to revise the regulations for permits for non-purposeful of take of eagles--that is, where the take is associated with, but not the purpose of, the activity. We proposed to extend the possible maximum term for programmatic permits to 30 years, as long as the permits incorporate conditions requiring the permittee to implement additional adaptive conservation measures if such measures are necessary to ensure the preservation of eagles. This change will facilitate the development of renewable energy and other projects that are designed to be in operation for many decades. These regulations will provide a measure of certainty to project proponents and their funders, while continuing to protect eagles consistent with statutory mandates.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We plan to propose a special rule under section 4(d) of the ESA that would, if finalized, in most instances adopt the existing conservation regulatory requirements of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended, and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES) as the appropriate regulatory mechanisms for this threatened species. Also, this rule would provide that take of polar bear that occurs outside the species' current range is not prohibited under the ESA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will perform technical amendments of the format of the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants, in accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. These are not substantive changes to the Lists, nor to any applicable regulations. In the list for animals at 50 CFR 17.11, we will revise the "Vertebrate population where endangered or threatened" column title to read "Where Listed," to more clearly describe the purpose of the column and to reflect that there are experimental populations and invertebrate species on the list as well. We will also update and standardize the list entries to include distinct population segment names and references to CFR sections affecting species under the purview of the National Marine Fisheries Service (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). We will also change "Entire" to "Wherever Found" to better describe areas where listed species are protected. In the plants list (at 50 CFR 17.12), we will add a new "Where Listed" column, to standardize the lists to the same format and reflect that experimental populations of plants can also be listed. We will also remove the column headed "Family," and instead refer users to the Fish and Wildlife Service's species profile web pages.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Subsistence Harvest in Alaska; Harvest Regulations for Migratory Birds in Alaska During the 2013 Season</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to establish migratory bird subsistence harvest regulations in Alaska for the 2013 season. These regulations would enable the continuation of customary and traditional subsistence uses of migratory birds in Alaska and regionally prescribe when and where the harvesting of birds may occur. These regulations are developed under a co-management process involving the Service, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and Alaska Native representatives. The rulemaking is necessary because the regulations governing the subsistence harvest of migratory birds in Alaska are subject to annual review. This rulemaking would establish region-specific regulations that go into effect on April 2, 2013, and expire on August 31, 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will make determinations regarding listing and critical habitat for two Red Mountain plants, Red Mountain buckwheat (Eriogonum kelloggii) and Red Mountain stonecrop (Sedum eastwoodiae), pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. Red Mountain buckwheat is known only from two small areas in Mendocino County, California, one on Red Mountain and one on Little Red Mountain. The entire distribution of Red Mountain stonecrop occurs in the vicinity of Red Mountain near the town of Leggett, California. Both plants are current candidates for listing under the ESA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We published final rule to reclassify the wood bison from endangered to threatened under the ESA. The wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) is found in northwestern Canada. This action is based on a review of the best available scientific and commercial data, which indicate that the primary threat that led to population decline--unregulated hunting--is no longer a threat, and that recovery actions have led to a substantial increase in the number of herds that have a stable or increasing trend in population size.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We have delisted Morelet's crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii) throughout its range due to recovery under the ESA. Conservation actions by the three range countries of Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala have eliminated or significantly reduced the threats to the species to the point that it is no longer threatened or endangered. Wild populations have increased substantially since restrictions on commercial harvest and trade were instituted in the 1970s. Species experts now widely characterize Morelet's crocodile populations as healthy.]]></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>

We have concluded that threats identified in the proposed rule are no longer as significant as believed at the time of the proposed rule. 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.

        <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 than 1,760 UPDs have been taken in any one year, with an annual average of 936. We amended 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 is based on the specific numbers of UPDs that are taken annually under the current rule, as well as on pertinent biological literature.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We proposed to revise existing critical habitat designation for seven Bexar County, Texas, 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will amend our regulations for manatee protections in Kings Bay by expanding Kings Bay manatee refuge and designating all of it as a manatee refuge. The designation will address concerns about manatee harassment from viewing, as well as death and injury of manatees from watercraft collisions. This designation also will 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 revised the ESA regulations by removing paragraph (h) of 50 CFR 17.21. This action eliminated 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 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 still needs authorization under the current regulations at 50 CFR 17.21(g) or 50 CFR 17.22 to conduct any prohibited activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revising the Critical Habitat Description Method </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Together with NMFS, we revised our critical habitat description method in our joint regulations. This does 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 will continue to publish critical habitat maps, but will make optional any textual description of boundary-coordinate lists in our regulations. Although the boundaries as mapped or otherwise described in our regulations will remain the official delineation of a critical habitat designation, we will 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>

        <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. The guidelines will 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>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Listing of the Miami Blue Butterfly, Cassius Blue Butterfly, Ceraunus Blue Butterfly, and Nickerbean Blue Butterfly in the State of Florida</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We will finalize our listing of the Miami blue butterfly, which we emergency-listed as endangered. The geographic range of this butterfly is now restricted to Key West National Wildlife Refuge in Monroe County, Florida, where the only confirmed populations occur. Due to the subspecies' severe reduction in geographic range, small population sizes, and imminent threats, we needed to make protective measures afforded by the Act available to the Miami blue immediately. This emergency rule provides Federal protection pursuant to the Endangered Species Act for 240 days.  A proposed rule to list the Miami blue butterfly as endangered was published concurrently with this emergency rule.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We finalized a rule to list Arctostaphylos franciscana (Franciscan manzanita, or San Francisco manzanita), a plant, as endangered. We are undertaking this action as the result of a court-approved settlement agreement. The species was thought to be extinct in the wild, but a single plant was found growing in a road median on Federal land. The individual was transplanted in January 2010 to a new location on the Presidio of San Francisco, a unit of the National Park Service system on the San Francisco Peninsula. In a separate action, we have proposed to designate critical habitat for the plant.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska; Subpart C; Nonrural Determinations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2007, the Federal Subsistence Board published a final rule changing the rural determination of several communities or areas in Alaska. These communities had 5 years to come into compliance. In 2009 the Secretary of the Interior initiated a review of the Federal Subsistence Program. One of his directives was for the Federal Subsistence Board to review its processes for determining the rural and nonrural status of communities. As a result of this review, the Federal Subsistence Board has decided to extend the compliance date until this review is complete, or in 5 years, whichever comes first.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Migratory Bird Hunting; 2012-2013 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We issue annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2012-13 hunting season. We annually prescribe outside limits (frameworks), within which States may select hunting seasons. We also request proposals from Indian tribes that wish to establish special migratory bird hunting regulations on Federal Indian reservations and ceded lands and proposals for the 2012-13 spring/summer migratory bird subsistence season in Alaska. Migratory game bird hunting seasons provide hunting opportunities for recreation and sustenance; aid Federal, State, and tribal governments in the management of migratory game birds; and permit harvests at levels compatible with migratory bird population status and habitat conditions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We revised the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife via a direct final rule, to reflect the scientifically accepted taxonomy and nomenclature of the African wild ass, a foreign mammal species listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. This species is found in Somalia, Sudan, and Ethiopia. We changed the List to reflect the most recently accepted scientific name for the species, in accordance and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. This rule does not alter the regulatory protections afforded to this species; rather, it with our regulations will resolve the taxonomic discrepancy between the African wild ass and the domestic burro or donkey.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reissuance of Interim Special Rule for the Polar Bear and To Revise the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On May 15, 2008, we published a final rule listing the polar bear (Ursus maritimus) as a threatened species throughout its range under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). At the same time we published that listing rule (73 FR 28212), we also published an interim final special rule for the polar bear under authority of section 4(d) of the ESA that provides measures that are necessary and advisable for the conservation of the polar bear (73 FR 28306). The interim special rule was finalized on December 16, 2008 (73 FR 76249). Lawsuits challenging both the May 14, 2008, listing and the December 16, 2008, final special rule were filed in a number of U.S. District Courts, and subsequently consolidated before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. On October 17, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia found that the Service violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Administrative Procedure Act by failing to provide a NEPA review for the December 16, 2008, special rule. The Court ordered the final special rule vacated and set aside pending resolution of a timetable for NEPA review. On November 18, 2011, the Court resolved the schedule for NEPA review and vacated the December 16, 2008, final special rule (Ctr. for Biological Diversity, et al. v. Salazar, et al., No. 08-2113; Defenders of Wildlife v. U.S. Department of the Interior, et al., No. 09-153, Misc. No. 08-764 (EGS) MDL Docket No. 1993). In vacating and remanding to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service the December 16, 2008, special rule, Judge Sullivan further ordered that, in its place, the interim final special rule of May 15, 2008, shall remain in effect until superseded by a new special rule for the polar bear. This rule revises the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the November 18, 2011, court order, and will be effective on the date of publication. However, the court order reinstating the May 15, 2008, interim final rule for the polar bear had legal effect immediately; as a result, the interim final rule has been in effect since November 18, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to designate a 22-mile multi-use trail, between Fritch Fortress and South Turkey Creek within Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, where bicycles may be used.  This rule is necessary because current regulations require that a special regulation be promulgated in order to allow use of bicycles on routes outside of developed park areas.  This proposed rule follows a 2.5-year public engagement planning process. The trail is divided into five phases for construction.]]></ABSTRACT>

Non-NPS services and facilities in Stehekin include seasonal lodging options, food operations, and various small businesses that help support 45-50,000 visitors annually.]]></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 multiuse pathways that have been constructed, or are planned for construction, which are parallel to and within 50 feet of park roads.  It is necessary because the general regulation for bicycle use off park roads in units of the National Park System requires that a special regulation be promulgated in order to allow bicycle use on trails outside of developed areas. The rule would also close certain waters to fishing; prohibit fishing from bridges and docks; prohibit the use of fish eggs or fish as bait in all waters except the shores of Jackson Lake, allowing only certain dead non-game species; and close all waters except Jackson and Jenny Lake to motorboats, allowing a maximum of 7 ½ hp motors on those lakes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mammoth Cave National Park--Bicycle Trails</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would designate four bicycle trails in Mammoth Cave 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Regulation, Winter Use, Yellowstone National Park</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2009 interim rule allows for managed snowmobile and snow coach 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.  The proposed rule incorporates the preferred alternative from the draft environmental impact statement.  To prepare for implementation of the new winter use plan and to manage winter use during the 2011-2012 winter season, we will publish an interim rule by mid-December 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Temporary Cessation of Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSM intends to revise its regulations governing the temporary cessation of surface coal mining and reclamation operations and underground mining activities under an approved permit.  The proposed rule would require that before temporarily ceasing operations for a period of more than 180 days, a permittee submit an application to the regulatory authority for approval.  The rule is needed to ensure that a temporary cessation of operations is not used to delay reclamation, that safety and environmental controls are in place, and that there is an end point to the cessation of operation.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule would establish: (1) Standards for use of Bureau-operated school lands and facilities by third parties under a rental or lease agreement; (2) provisions for acceptance of funds to benefit a school (including, in appropriate cases, trust funds);  (3) accountability standards to ensure ethical conduct; and (4) provisions for monitoring funds received, their use, and any results achieved.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget will be responsible for the Department's implementation of this rule, based upon the intentions of Congress, as evidenced in the Hawaiian Home Lands Recovery Act of 1995, and Public Law 108-199, 188 Stat. 445-46.  Recognition of the reorganized Native Hawaiian political community as a tribe will not result in eligibility for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Parole Commission is considering amending its guidelines for determining how much prison time a parole or supervised release visitor should serve for violations of release conditions.  The amendments would likely reduce prison time for violators who only committed non-criminal violations (such as failing to notify the supervision officer of a change in residence) or drug use.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[28 U.S.C. 589b requires the Attorney General to issue rules requiring uniform forms for periodic reports by debtors in possession and trustees in chapter 11 cases.  These reports are to be used by the United States Trustee Program to facilitate oversight and monitoring of chapter 11 cases as well as to provide information to the courts, creditors, and public about the debtor's operations while under chapter 11 reorganization.  Among the purposes for uniform forms is to accomplish the collection of data required by Congress that will be "in the best interests of debtors and creditors, and in the public interest in reasonable and adequate information to evaluate the efficiency and practicality of the Federal bankruptcy system." 28 U.S.C. 589b(c).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Repealing Unnecessary OVW Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The STOP (Services-Training-Officers-Prosecutors) Violence Against Indian Women Discretionary Grant Program was codified at 42 U.S.C. 3796gg through 3796gg-5. The final rule for this program, found at 28 CFR part 90, subpart C, was promulgated on April 18, 1995.  The Violence Against Women Act of 2005 (VAWA 2005, Pub. L. 109-162) eliminated this program, and replaced it with a new program, the Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program.  Regulations are not required for the new program. 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.  The program as recodified does not require regulations.  Because these regulations are obsolete and unnecessary, this rule repeals them.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the procedures and criteria United States Trustees use when determining whether applicants seeking to become and remain approved nonprofit budget and credit counseling agencies ("credit counseling agencies") or providers of a financial management course ("debtor education providers") satisfy all the prerequisites of the United States Code and applicable Executive Office for United States Trustees regulations.  Under current law, an individual may not be a debtor under title 11 of the United States Code, unless during the 180-day period preceding the date of filing a bankruptcy petition, the individual receives adequate counseling from a credit counseling agency that is approved by the United States Trustee.  Additionally, individual debtors must participate in debtor education before receiving a discharge of debts.]]></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>National Standards to Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Prison Rape</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA), Public Law No. 108-79, codified at 42 U.S.C. sections 15601 to 15609, Congress directed the Attorney General to "publish a final rule adopting national standards for the detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment of prison rape."  42 U.S.C. section 15607(a)(1).  The statute further directed that the Attorney General "shall not establish a national standard ... that would impose substantial additional costs compared to the costs presently expended by Federal, State, and local prison authorities." 42 U.S.C. section 15607(a)(3).  In accordance with PREA, the Department is drafting a final rule setting forth national standards for enhancing the prevention, detection, and response to sexual abuse in confinement settings.  The Department published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on February 3, 2011 (see 76 FR 6248), identifying the proposed standards, and it received over 1,300 public comments in response.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clarification Regarding the Production of FBI Criminal Identification Records</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would propose to amend the FBI's regulations to address the procedures an individual may use to obtain his or her criminal identification records and clarify who may receive the criminal identification records. In addition, this rule would address 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 would address the definition of "identification record".]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule grants a general authorization for use of the FBI Anti-Piracy Warning Seal (APW Seal), providing access to the APW Seal to all copyright holders, subject to specific conditions of use.  The APW is a modified image of the FBI's Official Seal with the words "FBI Anti-Piracy Warning" superimposed on it.  On November 17, 2003, the Attorney General approved the APW Seal, then referred to as the "FBI Intellectual Property Rights Seal," as an official insignia of the FBI to be used by the FBI and FBI-authorized entities as part of a copyright anti-piracy awareness campaign.  This approval brought the APW Seal within the protection of title 18 U.S.C. section 701, which provides criminal sanctions for the unauthorized uses of such insignia.  The image of the APW seal will be made available on the FBI's public website, and it may be downloaded for use on eligible works as specified in the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disposal of Controlled Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) would propose requirements to govern the secure disposal of controlled substances by both DEA registrants and ultimate users.  This proposed rule would implement the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010 by providing ultimate users, long term care facilities, and other non-registrants safe and convenient options to transfer controlled substances for the purpose of disposal.  The proposed rule would also reorganize and consolidate existing regulations on disposal, including the role of reverse distributors, and propose a comprehensive regulatory framework for the collection and destruction of controlled substances consistent with the Controlled Substances Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exempt Chemical Preparations; Exempt Prescription Products; Exempt Anabolic Steroid Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) would propose to revise its regulations to clarify exemptions from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) pursuant to 21 USC 811(g)(3). The plain language of the CSA authorizes DEA to exempt approved chemical preparations and anabolic steroid products only from Subchapter I (21 USC 801-904) of the CSA. DEA's regulations, however, state that approved chemical preparations and anabolic steroid products are exempt from certain provisions of both Subchapter I and Subchapter II (21 USC 951-971 (import and export provisions)) of the CSA. DEA would revise its regulations to reflect the authority provided by Congress in the CSA and would review ways that the exemption process may be updated and streamlined.  As such, DEA would repeal any portion of its regulations that allow the exemption of chemical preparations and anabolic steroid products from application of sections 1002, 1003, and 1004 of the CSA (21 U.S.C. 952-954) and its implementing regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

Subsequent to publication of the Interim Final Rule, DEA received written requests for a delay of the effective date of the rule. These comments indicated that industry would need additional time to fully comply with the provisions of the Interim Final Rule. After careful consideration of the concerns expressed by the regulated industry, DEA determined that a temporary stay (30 days) of certain provisions of the Interim Final Rule was necessary.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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.  The MEA requires mail-order distributors to 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.  Under the MEA, 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, the MEA requires mail-order distributors to train their employees prior to self-certification.  DEA would promulgate this final rule to incorporate the statutory provisions and make its regulations consistent with the new requirements and other existing regulations related to self-certification.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA would revise its interim regulations to modify and finalize the criteria by which DEA-registered healthcare providers may electronically issue controlled substance prescriptions.  The final regulations would also modify and finalize the criteria by which DEA-registered pharmacies may receive and archive these electronic prescriptions.  The interim regulations do not mandate the use of electronic prescriptions, and the final regulations would not mandate such use.  The final regulations would modify and finalize the requirements that must be met by any registrant that wishes to dispense controlled substances pursuant to electronic prescriptions, including requirements pertaining to authorized software applications.  Registrants would be required to use software applications that meet established security requirements if they intend to dispense controlled substances pursuant to electronic prescriptions. The regulations would not apply to software used to create a controlled substance prescription that is subsequently printed and manually signed.  These revised final regulations would not affect existing rules pertaining to prescriptions for controlled substances. Rather, the finalized regulation, similar to the interim regulation, would provide an alternative method to dispense controlled substances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Controlled Substances and List I Chemical Registration and Reregistration Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DEA proposes adjusting the fee schedule for DEA registration and reregistration fees necessary to recover the costs of its Diversion Control Program relating to the registration and control of the manufacture, distribution, dispensing, importation and exportation of controlled substances and List I chemicals as mandated by the Controlled Substances Act.  

21 U.S.C. 886a requires: "Fees charged by the Drug Enforcement Administration under its diversion control program shall be set at a level that ensures the recovery of the full costs of operating the various aspects of that program."  DEA has not changed registration fees since 2006.  New fees are needed as soon as possible in order to comply with this statutory requirement and to address diversion and the national epidemic in abuse and misuse of prescription drugs per the President's 2011 initiative.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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.

        <RULE_TITLE>Certification Process for State Capital Counsel Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005, on December 11, 2008, the Department promulgated a final rule to implement certification procedures for States seeking to qualify for the expedited Federal habeas corpus review procedures in capital cases under chapter 154 of title 28 of the United States Code.  On February 5, 2009, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice soliciting further public comment on all aspects of the December 2008 final rule.  As the Department reviewed the comments submitted in response to the February 2009 notice, it considered further the statutory requirements governing the regulatory implementation of the chapter 154 certification procedures.  The Attorney General determined that chapter 154 reasonably could be construed to allow the Attorney General greater discretion in making certification determinations than the December 2008 regulations allowed.  Accordingly, the Department published a notice in the Federal Register on May 25, 2010, proposing to remove the December 2008 regulations pending the completion of a new rulemaking process and finalized the removal of the December 2008 regulations on November 23, 2010.  The Department published a notice in the Federal Register on March 3, 2011, proposing a new rule and seeking public input on the certification procedure for chapter 154 and the standards the Attorney General will apply in making certification decisions.  The comment period for the proposed new rule closed on June 1, 2011. On February 13, 2012, the Department published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking on this subject requesting public comment concerning five changes that the Department is considering to the previously published proposed rule for the chapter 154 certification procedure. The Department is in the process of reviewing the comments it received before the comment period closed on March 14, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would propose to amend the Department of Justice regulations by specifying the procedures for adjudicating alleged violations by international marriage brokers doing business in the United States that fail to provide required information to persons recruited for matchmaking through these entities or that fail to search sex offender registries.  This rule implements the procedures for the disposition of cases arising under section 833 of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005.  This rule is necessary to deter fraudulent marriages and the exploitation of recruits by international marriage brokers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security are planning to propose to amend their respective regulations governing eligibility for asylum and withholding of removal to implement the Child Soldiers Accountability Act of 2008 (CSAA).  The CSAA establishes a criminal offense for the recruitment or use of child soldiers, establishes grounds of inadmissibility and deportability for aliens who have engaged in such recruitment or use, and provides that an alien who is inadmissible or deportable under these grounds "shall be considered an alien with respect to whom there are serious reasons to believe that he or she committed a serious nonpolitical crime" for purposes of asylum and withholding of removal.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Department is also planning to propose to amend the EOIR regulations which provide that ineffective assistance of counsel may constitute extraordinary circumstances which may excuse the failure to file an asylum application within 1 year after the date of arrival in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Department of Justice (DOJ or Department), Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), are planning to propose to amend their respective regulations to implement section 235 of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (TVPRA), which provides new provisions for unaccompanied alien children in asylum and immigration proceedings. Through this joint rule, both Departments are proposing to amend their separate regulations to reflect that USCIS has initial jurisdiction over any asylum application filed by an unaccompanied alien child.  The Departments also plan to propose to add new special procedures for unaccompanied alien children in interviews before asylum officers and in proceedings before immigration judges.  In addition, EOIR plans to propose amendments to its regulations governing the relief of voluntary departure for unaccompanied alien children in removal proceedings.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would propose to amend the Department of Justice's regulations regarding motions to reopen and motions to reconsider where the respondent has left the United States.  Rulemaking proceedings are being initiated in response to a petition for rulemaking from the American Immigration Council, titled "Petition for Rulemaking to Amend Regulations Governing Motions to Reopen and Reconsider Removal Proceedings for Noncitizens Who Depart the United States."  By letter dated July 28, 2012, the Executive Office for Immigration Review partially granted the petition, committing to initiating a rulemaking proceeding to amend the departure bar regulatory provisions at 8 CFR sections 1003.2(d) and 1003.23(b)(1), without committing to any particular outcome for this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

Finally, the interim rule revised provisions in part 1003 to reference applicable DHS regulations, and to make technical and clarifying amendments to regulations in that part.]]></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 final 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[The Department of Justice is planning to propose to amend the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) regarding the reference to The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) guidance document titled "Definition and Test Procedures for Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer" that appears as a footnote because it is an obsolete document.   In March 2002, TFI filed a petition with ATF requesting that the Federal explosives regulations at 27 CFR 555.220 be amended to remove the reference to the "Definition and Test Procedures for Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer."  TFI explained that the document is outdated because TFI last published the guidance document in 1984, TFI will not review or update it, and TFI cannot ensure that the procedures outlined in the guidance document are still valid.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Safe Explosives Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice amended 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 contained amendments to the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA). The Act amended the GCA to make it unlawful for any person convicted of a "misdemeanor crime of domestic violence" to ship, transport, possess, or receive in or affecting commerce firearms or ammunition.  It also amended the GCA to make it unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of a firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that the recipient has been convicted of such a misdemeanor. The Act also amended the GCA to provide for sales between Federal firearms licensees of curio and relic firearms away from their licensed premises.]]></ABSTRACT>

Because licensees rarely use Forms 4473 (LV), ATF has determined that continued use of these forms is unwarranted and they should be eliminated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Arms, Ammunition and Implements of War and Machine Guns, Destructive Devices, and Certain Other Firearms; Extending the Term of Import Permits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking is included in the Department of Justice's retrospective review plan developed pursuant to Executive Order 13563, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review." This rule would amend the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to extend the term of import permits for firearms, ammunition, and defense articles from 1 year to 2 years.  The additional time will allow importers sufficient time to complete the importation of the authorized commodity.  In addition, it will eliminate the need for the importer to submit a new import application, ATF Form 6, because the importation was not completed within the 1-year period.  Extending the term of import permits will also result in a substantial cost and time savings for both the industry and ATF.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Safe Explosives Act--Delivery of Explosive Materials by Common or Contract Carrier</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (Title II and Title III of the ADA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would propose to amend the Department's 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>

In this NPRM, the Department will be soliciting public comment in response to its preliminary analysis.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The ADA authorizes the Attorney General to enforce the ADA and to promulgate regulations implementing the law's requirements.  Failure to update the Department's regulations to conform to statutory changes and to be consistent with the EEOC regulations under title I of the ADA will interfere with the Department's enforcement efforts and lead to confusion about the law's requirements among entities covered by titles I, II and III of the ADA, as well as members of the public.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973).</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would propose to amend the Department's 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 Executive Order 12250, 28 CFR part 41, to reflect statutory amendments to the definition of disability applicable to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which were 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 legal requirements under the Rehabilitation Act have been properly addressed in these regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Movie Captioning and Video Description</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Following its advance notice of proposed rulemaking published on July 26, 2010, the Department plans to publish a proposed rule addressing the requirements for captioning and video description of movies exhibited in movie theatres under 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). 42 U.S.C. 12181-12189.  Title III makes it unlawful for places of public accommodation, such as movie theaters, to discriminate against individuals with disabilities 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, such as captioning and video description, 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)).]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[A significant-and increasing-proportion of Americans have hearing or vision disabilities that prevent them from fully and effectively understanding movies without captioning or audio description.  For persons with hearing and vision disabilities, the unavailability of captioned or audio-described movies inhibits their ability to socialize and fully take part in family outings and deprives them of the opportunity to meaningfully participate in an important aspect of American culture.   Many individuals with hearing or vision disabilities who commented on the Department's 2010 ANPRM remarked that they have not been able to enjoy a commercial movie unless they watched it on TV, or that when they took their children to the movies they could not understand what they were seeing or discuss what was happening with their children.
Today, more and more movies are produced with captions and audio description.  However, despite the underlying ADA obligation, the advancement of digital technology and the availability of captioned and audio-described films, many movie theaters are still not exhibiting captioned or audio-described movies, and when they do exhibit them, they are only for a few showings of a movie, and usually at off-times.  Recently, a number of theater companies have committed to provide greater availability of captioning and audio description.  In some cases, these have been nationwide commitments; in other cases it has only been in a particular state or locality.  A uniform federal ADA requirement for captioning and audio description is necessary to ensure that access to movies for persons with hearing and vision disabilities is not dictated by the individual's residence or the presence of litigation in their locality.  
In addition, the movie theater industry is in the process of converting its movie screens to use digital technology, and the Department believes that it will be extremely helpful to provide timely guidance on the ADA requirements for captioning and audio description so that the industry may factor this into its conversion efforts and minimize costs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Department will consider any public comments that propose achievable alternatives that will still accomplish the goal of providing access to movies for persons with hearing and vision disabilities.  However, the Department believes that the baseline alternative of not providing such access would be inconsistent with the provisions of Title III of the ADA.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Department's preliminary analysis indicates that the proposed rule would not be "economically significant," that is, that the rule will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million, or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, the environment, public health or safety or State, local or tribal governments or communities.  In the NPRM, the Department will be soliciting public comment in response to its preliminary analysis regarding the costs imposed by the rule .]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Without the proposed changes to the Department's Title III regulation, persons with hearing and vision disabilities will continue to be denied access to movies shown in movie theaters and movie theater owners and operators will not understand what they are required to do in order to provide auxiliary aids and services to patrons with hearing and vision disabilities.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability:  Accessibility of Web Information and Services of State and Local Governments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department published an ANPRM on July 26, 2010, RIN 1190-AA61, that addressed issues relating to proposed revisions of both the title II and title III ADA regulations in order to provide guidance on the obligations of covered entities to make programs, services and activities offered over the Web accessible to individuals with disabilities.

The Department has now divided the rulemakings in the next step of the rulemaking process so as to proceed with separate notices of proposed rulemakings for title II and title III. The title III rulemaking on Web accessibility will continue under RIN 1190-AA61 and the title II rulemaking will continue under the new RIN 1190-AA65. This rulemaking will provide specific guidance to State and local governments in order to make services, programs, or activities offered to the public via the Web accessible to individuals with disabilities.

The ADA requires that State and local governments provide qualified individuals with disabilities equal access to their programs, services, or activities unless doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of their programs, services, or activities or would impose an undue burden. 42. U.S.C. 12132. The Internet as it is known today did not exist when Congress enacted the ADA; yet today the Internet is dramatically changing the way that governmental entities serve the public. Taking advantage of new technology, citizens can now use State and local government websites to correspond online with local officials; obtain information about government services; renew library books or driver's licenses; pay fines; register to vote; obtain tax information and file tax returns; apply for jobs or benefits; and complete numerous other civic tasks. These government websites are important because they allow programs and services to be offered in a more dynamic, interactive way in order to increase citizen participation; increase convenience and speed in obtaining information or services; reduce costs in providing information about government services and administering programs; reduce the amount of paperwork; and expand the possibilities of reaching new sectors of the community or offering new programs or services.

Many States and localities have begun to improve the accessibility of portions of their websites. However, full compliance with the ADA's promise to provide an equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all aspects of the programs, services, and activities provided by State and local governments in today's technologically advanced society will only occur if it is clear to public entities that their websites must be accessible. Consequently, the Department intends to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend its title II regulations to expressly address the obligations of public entities to make the websites they use to provide programs, activities, or services or information to the public accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities under the legal framework established by the ADA. The proposed regulation will propose the scope of the obligation to provide accessibility when persons with disabilities access public websites, as well as propose the technical standards necessary to comply with the ADA.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Many people with disabilities use "assistive technology" to enable them to use computers and access the Internet.  Individuals who are blind or have low vision who cannot see computer monitors may use screen readers--devices that speak the text that would normally appear on a monitor. People who have difficulty using a computer mouse can use voice recognition software to control their computers with verbal commands. People with other types of disabilities may use still other kinds of assistive technology. New and innovative assistive technologies are being introduced every day.

Websites that do not accommodate assistive technology, for example, can create unnecessary barriers for people with disabilities, just as buildings not designed to accommodate people with disabilities prevent some individuals from entering and accessing services. Web designers may not realize how simple features built into a website will assist someone who, for instance, cannot see a computer monitor or use a mouse. In addition, in many cases, these websites do not provide captioning for videos or live events streamed over the web, leaving persons who are deaf or hard of hearing unable to access the information that is being provided.  Although an increasing number of State and local governments are making efforts to provide accessible websites, because there are no specific ADA standards for website accessibility, these websites vary in actual usability.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

However, the Department believes that revising its title II rule to clarify the obligations of State and local governments to provide accessible websites will significantly increase the opportunities for citizens with disabilities to participate in, and benefit from, State and local government programs, activities, and services.  It will also ensure that individuals have access to important information that is provided over the Internet, including emergency information.  The Department also believes that providing accessible websites will benefit State and local governments as it will increase the numbers of citizens who can use these websites, and thus improve the efficiency of delivery of services to the public.  In drafting this NPRM, the Department will attempt to minimize the compliance costs to State and local governments while ensuring the benefits of compliance to persons with disabilities.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Accessibility of Web Information and Services of Public Accommodations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is considering proposed revisions to the regulation implementing title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in order to address the obligations of public accommodations to make goods, services, facilities, privileges, accommodations, or advantages they offer via the Internet, specifically at sites on the World Wide Web (Web), accessible to individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires that public accommodations provide individuals with full and equal enjoyment of their goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations. 42. U.S.C. 12182.  The Internet as it is known today did not exist when Congress enacted the ADA.  Today the Internet, most notably the sites on the Web, plays a critical role in the daily personal, professional, and business life of most Americans.  Increasingly, private entities of all types are providing goods and services to the public through websites that operate as places of public accommodation under title III of the ADA. Many websites of public accommodations, however, render use by individuals with disabilities difficult or impossible due to barriers posed by websites designed without accessible features.

Being unable to access websites puts individuals at a great disadvantage in today's society, which is driven by a global marketplace and unprecedented access to information. On the economic front, electronic commerce, or "e-commerce," often offers consumers a wider selection and lower prices than traditional "brick-and-mortar" storefronts, with the added convenience of not having to leave one's home to obtain goods and services.  Beyond goods and services, information available on the Internet has become a gateway to education.  Schools at all levels are increasingly offering programs and classroom instruction through websites. Many colleges and universities offer degree programs online; some universities exist exclusively on the Internet.  The Internet also is changing the way individuals socialize and seek entertainment. Social networks and other online meeting places provide a unique way for individuals to meet and fraternize. These networks allow individuals to meet others with similar interests and connect with friends, business colleagues, elected officials, and businesses. They also provide an effective networking opportunity for entrepreneurs, artists, and others seeking to put their skills and talents to use. Websites also bring a myriad of entertainment and information options for internet users-from games and music to news and videos.

The ADA's promise to provide an equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all aspects of American civic and economic life will be achieved in today's technologically advanced society only if it is clear to businesses, educators, and other public accommodations, that their websites must be accessible. Consequently, the Department is proposing to amend its title III regulation to expressly address the obligations of public accommodations to make the websites they use to provide their goods and services to the public accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities under the legal framework established by the ADA.  The proposed regulation will propose the scope of the obligation to provide accessibility when persons with disabilities attempt to access websites of public accommodations, as well as propose the technical standards necessary to comply with the ADA.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Many people with disabilities use "assistive technology" to enable them to use computers and access the Internet. Individuals who are blind or have low vision who cannot see computer monitors may use screen readers-devices that speak the text that would normally appear on a monitor. People who have difficulty using a computer mouse can use voice recognition software to control their computers with verbal commands. People with other types of disabilities may use still other kinds of assistive technology. New and innovative assistive technologies are being introduced every day.
Websites that do not accommodate assistive technology, for example, can create unnecessary barriers for people with disabilities, just as buildings not designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities can prevent some individuals from entering and accessing services. Web designers may not realize how simple features built into a website will assist someone who, for instance, cannot see a computer monitor or use a mouse. In addition, in many cases, these websites do not provide captioning for videos or live events streamed over the web, leaving persons who are deaf or hard of hearing unable to access the information that is being provided

Although the Department has been clear that the ADA applies to websites of private entities that meet the definition of "public accommodations," inconsistent court decisions, differing standards for determining web accessibility, and repeated calls for Department action indicate remaining uncertainty regarding the applicability of the ADA to websites of entities covered by title III. For these reasons, the Department plans to  propose to amendments to its regulation so as to make clear to entities covered by the ADA their obligations to make their websites accessible. Despite the need for action, the Department appreciates the need to move forward deliberatively. Any regulations the Department adopts must provide specific guidance to help ensure web access to individuals with disabilities without hampering innovation and technological advancement on the Web.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Department anticipates that this rule will be "economically significant."  The Department believes that revising its title III rule to clarify the obligations of public accommodations to provide accessible websites will significantly increase the opportunities of individuals with disabilities to access the variety of goods and services public accommodations offer on the web, while increasing the number of customers that access the websites to procure the goods and service offered by these public accommodations.  In drafting this NPRM, the Department will attempt to minimize the compliance costs to public accommodations, while ensuring the benefits of compliance to persons with disabilities.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <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.  The ANPRM sought information on possible revisions to the Department's regulation to ensure direct access to NG 9-1-1 services for individuals with disabilities.  In the next step of the rulemaking process, the Department intends to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to revise the title II regulation to address requirements for direct access to NG 9-1-1 services for individuals with disabilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by State and Local Governments and Places of Public Accommodation; Equipment and Furniture</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The ADA requires state and local governments and public accommodations to provide programs, activities, and services in a manner that is accessible to persons with disabilities, including non-fixed equipment and furniture that is used in the delivery of programs, activities, and services. The ADA also requires that covered entities communicate effectively with persons with disabilities and provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services. While some types of fixed equipment and furniture are explicitly covered by the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design, there are no specific provisions in the ADA regulations that include standards governing the accessibility of equipment and furniture that are not fixed. See, e.g., 28 CFR 36.406(b) (the 1991 and 2010 Standards apply to fixed or built-in elements of buildings and structures).  Because the 2010 ADA Standards include accessibility requirements for some types of fixed equipment (e.g., ATMs, washing machines, dryers, tables, benches and vending machines), the Department plans to look to these standards for guidance, where applicable, when it proposes accessibility standards for equipment and furniture that is not fixed.

On July 26, 2010, the Department published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to consider possible changes to requirements under titles II and III of the ADA to ensure that equipment and furniture used in programs and services provided by public entities and public accommodations are accessible to individuals with disabilities. See RIN 1190-AA64. In the 2010 ANPRM the Department sought public input on possible revisions to its ADA regulations to ensure the accessibility of equipment and furniture in such programs and services, and also sought background information for the regulatory assessment that would be needed for the Department to revise its regulations. The 2010 ANPRM addressed the following broad categories of equipment and furniture: medical equipment and furniture; exercise equipment and furniture; accessible golf cars; beds in accessible guest rooms and sleeping rooms; beds in nursing homes and other care facilities; electronic and information technology; and inquired about the necessity for accessibility of other types of equipment and furniture. The comment period on the 2010 ANPRM closed on January 24, 2011. This was the initial step in the Department's rulemaking process on accessible equipment and furniture. The Department intends to proceed in several stages to revise the title II and title III regulations to address the accessibility requirements for equipment and furniture addressed in the initial 2010 ANPRM.

As noted in separate agenda review reports, the Department intends to proceed with a separate ANPRM on medical equipment and furniture and an NPRM on hotel beds in guestrooms with mobility features in places of lodging. These categories of equipment and furniture were included in the 2010 ANPRM. The timetable listed below for the next step in the rulemaking process includes all of the remaining categories of equipment and furniture from the 2010 ANPRM, RIN 1190-AA64.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by State and Local Governments and Public Accommodations:   Accessibility of Medical Equipment and Furniture</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 26, 2010, the Department published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to consider possible changes to requirements under titles II and III of the ADA to require that equipment and furniture used in programs and services provided by public entities and public accommodations are accessible to individuals with disabilities.  See RIN 1190-AA64.  In the 2010 ANPRM the Department sought public input on possible revisions to its ADA regulations that would be needed to require the accessibility of equipment and furniture in such programs and services, and also sought background information for the regulatory assessment that would be needed for the Department to revise its regulations.  The 2010 ANPRM addressed the following broad categories of equipment and furniture:  medical equipment and furniture; exercise equipment and furniture; accessible golf cars; beds in accessible guest rooms and sleeping rooms; beds in nursing homes and other care facilities; electronic and information technology; and inquired about the necessity for accessibility of other types of equipment and furniture.  The comment period on the 2010 ANPRM closed on January 24, 2011.  This was the initial step in the Department's rulemaking process on accessible equipment and furniture.  The Department intends to proceed in several stages to revise the title II and title III regulations to address the accessibility requirements for equipment and furniture addressed in the initial 2010 ANPRM. 

As a separate step in the rulemaking process, the Department plans to publish an ANPRM that solely addresses the accessibility requirements for medical equipment and furniture pursuant to titles II and III of the ADA.  This proposed ANPRM will include all of the various types of medical equipment and furniture addressed in the 2010 ANPRM and will allow the Department to solicit more detailed input from the public regarding, among other things, the appropriate accessible features for medical equipment and furniture; the commercial availability of such equipment and furniture; costs associated with the acquisition and implementation of such equipment and furniture; scoping requirements for specific facility types; and triggering events, implementation schedules and effective dates for requiring compliance with the requirements for accessible medical equipment and furniture.  The proposed ANPRM on accessible medical equipment and furniture will also permit the Department, as a member of the Access Board, to coordinate more closely with the Board in the Board's development of standards setting forth minimum technical requirements for medical diagnostic equipment used in (or in conjunction with) physician's offices, clinics, emergency rooms, hospitals, and other medical settings pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.  This health care reform legislation added a new section 510 to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and directed the Access Board to promulgate standards to ensure that such medical diagnostic equipment is accessible to, and usable by, individuals with accessibility needs and allows independent entry to, use of, and exit from the equipment or furniture by such individuals to the maximum extent possible.  As stated in the 2010 ANPRM, the Department does not intend to issue a final rule on medical equipment, until the Board has promulgated its medical diagnostic equipment standards.  When the Board has completed its medical diagnostic equipment standards, the Department will decide whether to adopt them for ADA implementation in the context of the Department's rulemaking on medical equipment and furniture.]]></ABSTRACT>

As a separate step in the rulemaking process, the Department plans to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) pursuant to title III of the ADA that will address the requirements for accessible beds in guestrooms with mobility features in places of lodging.  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]), including places of lodging.  The proposed rulemaking would address and request public input about, among other things, the features proposed for accessible beds, including bed height and under-bed clearance, as well as the commercial availability of accessible beds (and bed components), the costs associated with the acquisition and implementation of accessible beds, scoping requirements, implementation schedules and effective dates for compliance.]]></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 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>Implementation of Total Unemployment Rate Extended Benefits Trigger and Rounding Rule </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations at 20 CFR part 615 apply to the Extended Benefits (EB) as implemented following passage of the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970 (26 U.S.C. 3304 note).  They do not include amendments passed in 1992 (Pub. L. 102-318) which allowed States to implement an optional total unemployment rate (TUR) trigger mechanism.  The proposed rule will add the TUR trigger to regulations.  Also, until recently, the calculation of the TUR trigger paralleled the calculation of the insured unemployment rate trigger in the original law and truncated digits after the second decimal place expressed as a percentage. This rulemaking proposes a new methodology to calculate the "on" or "off" TUR indicators to determine when EB periods begin and end in a State.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 2105 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-96) amended section 303 of the Social Security Act (42 USC sec. 303) to permit States to enact legislation that would allow State UI programs to conduct drug testing on applicants for whom suitable work (as defined under the State law) is only available in an occupation that regularly conducts drug testing or if the applicant was discharged for unlawful use of drugs.  States may deny UI benefits to an applicant that tests positive for drug use under the circumstances just described.  The Department is required under section 2105 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 to determine and establish in regulations those occupations that regularly conduct drug testing.]]></ABSTRACT>

L. 74-271).  Section 2104 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-96) amends and adds section 911 to title IX of the Social Security Act (42 USC section 1101 et seq.) which requires the Department to issue a rule, developed in consultation with OMB, that outlines data exchange standards for required reporting.  These standards will improve the interoperability of State, Federal, and employer operated systems that collect and exchange information for UI administrative purposes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2009, the Department suspended certain regulations pertaining to the H-2A program, including this subpart C.  The suspension was legally enjoined (North Carolina Growers' Association v Solis, 1:09-cv-00411, June 29, 2009) thereby preventing implementation of the suspension.  The entire subject matter of subpart C was subsumed into a later rulemaking (75 FR 6959, Feb. 12, 2010), but the injunction imposed on the suspension prevented the removal of subpart C.  This regulatory action is needed to remove subpart C as obsolete and confusing to the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Immigration Act of 1990, supplementing sections 101(a)(15)(F) and 214 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, created a three-year work authorization program for certain students in F-1 nonimmigrant status.  The Department published an interim final rule to administer the program in 1991.  56 FR 56860 (Nov. 6, 1991).  Public Law 103-416 (Oct. 25, 1994) revived the program through September 30, 1996, and the regulations were further amended (59 FR 64777, Dec. 15, 1994; 60 FR 34133, June 30, 1995; 60 FR 38959, July 31, 1995; 60 FR 49754, Sept. 30, 1995; 60 FR 61210, Nov. 29, 1995) but the program subsequently sunset and has not been extended since.  The regulatory action will remove the regulations that have no legal authority and are no longer in effect to avoid confusion in the affected public.]]></ABSTRACT>

These regulations were designed to improve the employment status of disadvantaged young adults, dislocated workers, and individuals facing barriers to employment. In 1998, Congress passed the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), which required the Secretary of Labor to transition any authority under JTPA to the system created by WIA.  Public Law 105-220, title V, section 506(a), 112 Statute 1246-1247 (1998); 20 U.S.C. 9276(a).  Therefore, the Department is taking this action to eliminate public reliance on regulations that are no longer enforceable or effective.]]></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 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 developed regulations in response to the legislation and to guide the program implementation and management. The program requires that 75 percent of participants must be youth who are school dropouts, with a 25 percent eligibility exception for at-risk youth who may have a high school diploma or GED but are basic-skills deficient.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department published a Final Rule on February 21, 2012.  The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations require employers to apply for a temporary labor certification from the Department of Labor before H-2B petitions 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 rule re-engineers 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>

The policy underpinnings of the 2008 regulation; e.g., streamlining the H-2B process to defer many determinations of program compliance until after an application has been adjudicated did not provide an adequate level of protection for either U.S. or foreign workers.  The final rule seeks to enhance worker protections and increase the availability of job opportunities to qualified U.S. workers.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Preliminary estimates of the anticipated costs of this regulatory action were provided in the NPRM.  The Department of Labor sought  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 changes are thought to raise "novel legal or policy issues" and the final rule is economically significant within the context of Executive Order 12866 and is a "major rule" under section 804 for the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

L. 109-365), enacted on October 17, 2006, contains provisions amending title V of that Act, which authorizes the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP).

        <RULE_TITLE>Wage Methodology for the Temporary Nonagricultural Employment H-2B Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, requires the Department of Homeland Security, before 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, and as a result, on January 19, 2011, DOL published a Final Rule (the Wage Rule) which established a new prevailing wage methodology for the H-2B labor certification program.   The Wage Rule had an effective date of January 1, 2012, which was invalidated by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on June 15, 2011.  The Department initially amended the effective date of the Wage Final Rule to September 30, 2011 but, due to a subsequent series of judicial and legislative actions,  most recently amended the effective date of the Wage Final Rule to October 1, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 508 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) amended section 105 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) to require plans that are subject to ERISA to automatically provide participants and certain beneficiaries with individual pension benefit statements. Generally, defined benefit plans must provide the statement every three years, with an annual alternative. Individual account plans that permit participant direction must provide the statement quarterly and individual account plans that do not permit participant direction must provide the statement annually. As part of this initiative, the Department will explore whether, and how, an individual benefit statement should and could present a participant's accrued benefits in a defined contribution plan (i.e., the individual's account balance) as a lifetime income stream of payments in addition to presenting the benefits as an account balance.]]></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, Oct. 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[The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the Affordable Care Act) amended title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), by adding a new section 715 which encompasses various health reform provisions of the Public Health Service Act.  These regulations provide guidance on the rules relating to coverage of preventive services without cost sharing under the Affordable Care Act.

As mentioned in previous requests, RIN 1210-AB41 was split into additional RINs due to the breadth of issues covered, and this is the fourth request in a series relating to the Affordable Care Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 21, 2006, the Department published a package of regulations, collectively entitled Termination of Abandoned Individual Account Plans, which facilitate the termination of, and distribution of benefits from, individual account pension plans that have been abandoned by their sponsoring employers.  See 71 FR 20820.  This rulemaking will examine whether, and how, to amend those regulations by expanding the scope of individuals entitled to be a "qualified termination administrator" (QTA).  Under the Termination of Abandoned Individual Account Plans regulations, only a QTA is authorized to determine whether an individual account plan is abandoned and to carry out related activities necessary to the termination and winding up of the plan's affairs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Guide or Similar Requirement for Section 408(b)(2) Disclosures </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Paragraph (c) of 29 CFR 2550.408b-2 requires covered service providers to make certain disclosures to responsible plan fiduciaries in order for contracts or arrangements between the parties to be considered reasonable under section 408(b)(2) of the Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).  This rulemaking would amend the disclosure provisions in paragraph (c) so that covered service providers may be required to furnish a guide or similar tool along with such disclosures.  A guide or similar requirement may assist fiduciaries, especially fiduciaries to small and medium-sized plans, in identifying and understanding the potentially complex disclosure documents that are provided to them or if disclosures are located in multiple documents.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Injury and Illness Prevention Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is developing a rule requiring employers to implement an Injury and Illness Prevention Program.  It involves planning, implementing, evaluating, and improving processes and activities that protect employee safety and health.  OSHA has substantial data on reductions in injuries and illnesses from employers who have implemented similar effective processes.  The Agency currently has voluntary Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines (54 FR 3904 to 3916), published in 1989.  An injury and illness prevention program 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 and Preventing Backover Injuries and Fatalities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is requesting information on employee safety risks in two areas, reinforcing operations in concrete work (construction only) and fatal backovers by vehicles and equipment (all industries).

Current rules regarding reinforcing steel and post-tensioning activities may 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 many types of construction. OSHA currently has few rules which address the steel reinforcing and post-tensioning activities directly. The few rules that do exist are found in subpart Q - Concrete and Masonry Construction of 29 CFR 1926. OSHA IMIS data indicates that 33 workers died while performing work on or near post-tensioning operations or reinforcing steel between 2000 and 2009.

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 number of incidents may 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 other causes. Employees involved in post-tensioning activities are at risk for incidents caused by the misuse of post-tensioning equipment and improper training.

Injuries and fatalities caused by backing incidents are also of concern.  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. Emerging technologies in the field of backing operations may prevent incidents.  These technologies include cameras and proximity detection systems. The use of spotters and internal traffic control plans can also make backing operations safer.

Struck-by injuries and caught between injuries are two of the four leading causes of workplace fatalities. OSHA IMIS data indicates that, between 2005 and 2010, over 350 workers have died as a result of backing incidents. While backing incidents can prove fatal, workers can suffer severe, non-fatal injuries as well. A review of OSHA's IMIS database found that backing incidents can result in serious injury to the back and pelvis, fractured bones, concussions, amputations, and other injuries.

OSHA believes that it is necessary to request information from those involved in the reinforcing concrete industry, backing operations, and the general public to better understand how to prevent these incidents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review/Lookback of OSHA Chemical Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The majority of OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) were adopted in 1971, under section 6(a) of the OSH Act and only a few have been successfully updated since that time. There is widespread agreement among industry, labor, and professional occupational safety and health organizations that OSHA's PELs are outdated and need revising in order to take into account newer scientific data that indicates that significant occupational health risks exist at levels below OSHA's current PELs.  In 1989, OSHA issued a final standard that lowered PELS for over 200 chemicals and added PELS for 164.  However, the final rule was challenged and ultimately vacated by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in 1991 citing deficiencies in OSHA's analyses.  Since that time OSHA has made attempts to examine its outdated PELs in light of the court's 1991 decision.  Most recently, OSHA sought input through a stakeholder meeting and web forum to discuss various approaches that might be used to address its outdated PELs.  As part of the Department's Regulatory Review and Lookback Efforts, OSHA is developing a Request for Information (RFI) seeking input from the public to help the Agency identify effective ways to address occupational exposure to chemicals.]]></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>

        <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 worksites 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 also completed a scientific peer review of its draft risk assessment.]]></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>Standards Improvement Project IV</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA's Standards Improvement Projects (SIPs) are intended to remove or revise duplicative, unnecessary, and inconsistent safety and health standards.  The Agency has published three earlier final standards to remove unnecessary provisions, thus reducing costs or paperwork burden on affected employers.  Standards Improvement Project Phase I was published in the Federal Register on June 18, 1998 (63 FR 33450); SIPs Phase 2 was published on January 5, 2005 (70 FR 1111); and SIPs Phase III was published June 8, 2011 (76 FR 33590).  The Agency believes that these standards have reduced the compliance costs and eliminated or reduced the paperwork burden for a number of its standards.  The Agency only considers such changes to its standards so long as they do not diminish employee protections.  The Agency is initiating a fourth rulemaking effort to identify unnecessary or duplicative provisions or paperwork requirements that is limited solely to its construction standards in 29 CFR 1926.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consensus Standard Update--Signage</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA has an ongoing effort to update references to consensus standards published by standards-developing organizations (SDOs) throughout its rules. The goal of these rulemaking updates is to improve workplace safety and health by ensuring that consensus standards referenced in OSHA regulations reflect current industry practice and state-of-the-art technology.

29 CFR 1910.6 incorporates by reference the 1967 version of ANSI Z53.1, Safety Code for Marking Physical Hazards and the Identification of Certain Equipment, and the 1968 version of ANSI Z53.1, Specification for Accident Prevention Signs.  Three OSHA standards (1910.97, Nonionizing radiation; 1910.145, Specifications for accident prevention signs and tags; 1910.261, Pulp, paper, and paper-board mills) refer to these consensus standards.  Most employers continue to use signs meeting the consensus standards currently referenced in the OSHA standards.  The older signs not only have a long life; the employers do not want to use "newer" versions and be subject to a "de minimus" citation.

Preliminary review indicates that signs meeting the latest edition of the consensus standard would advance workplace safety over and above the currently required signs.  Signs meeting the latest edition use the same color code and wording as ones meeting the older consensus standard, but also provide much more guidance as to the nature of the hazard, the consequences of the hazard, how to avoid the hazard, and the seriousness level of the hazard.  Signs meeting the latest edition also are supported by human factors research on effective warning, and are supported by modern risk assessment methodologies for reducing risk. In addition, signs meeting the latest edition can use multiple language panels that could be a benefit to non-English speaking workers, and also meet the legal criteria for "adequate warnings" based on case law.  

OSHA proposes updating the reference to the version of the consensus standard, while grandfathering older signs that comply with the current OSHA requirements.  Using the same strategy as in other consensus standard references updates, OSHA will publish a Direct Final Rule (DFR) con-currently with a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).  If OSHA does not receive significant adverse comments on the DFR, it will confirm the effective date of the DFR and withdraw the NPRM.  If OSHA does receive significant adverse comments, it will withdraw the DFR and proceed with the rule proposal process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the Department of Labor's burden hour and cost reduction initiatives, OSHA will examine revoking requirements for employers to prepare and maintain periodic records certifying that the employer performed the required tests and inspections on machinery.  The purpose of revoking these records is to minimize paperwork burdens imposed on employers.  Recently, OSHA revoked requirements that employers develop and retain training records for a number of standards when the revocation did not adversely affect worker safety and health.  OSHA is examining other periodic records specified in its standards to identify additional paperwork requirements that the Agency could revoke without adversely affecting worker safety and health.]]></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 nearly 40 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.

        <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 reopen 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA proposes to revise its regulations for the federally funded On-site Consultation Program to: a) clarify the ability of the Assistant Secretary to define sites which would receive inspections regardless of Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) exemption status; b) allow Compliance Safety and Health Officers to proceed with enforcement visits resulting from referrals at sites undergoing Consultation visits and at sites that have been awarded SHARP status; and c) limit the deletion period from OSHA's programmed inspection schedule for those employers participating in the SHARP program.

Note:  SHARP is a recognition program that OSHA administers to provide incentives and support for small employers to develop, implement, and continuously improve effective safety and health programs at their worksites.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Handling Employee Retaliation Complaints Under the National Transit Systems Security Act; Surface Transportation Assistance Act; and Federal Railroad Safety Act </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is publishing final 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 is publishing 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 set forth the procedures for handling and investigating retaliation complaints, including a statutory "kick-out" provision allowing the complainant to file the complaint in District Court if the Secretary of Labor has not issued a final decision within 210 days of the filing of the complaint.  Immediate implementation of these regulations is necessitated to govern whistleblower investigations conducted under the new and revised statutes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements--NAICS Update and Reporting Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking involves changes to two aspects of the OSHA recordkeeping and reporting requirements. First, OSHA is updating 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 rulemaking 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, this rulemaking would 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>Procedures for the Handling of Retaliation Complaints Under Section 806 of the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002, as Amended</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is 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>Procedures for the Handling of Retaliation Complaints Under The Consumer Financial Protection Act; The Seaman&apos;s Protection Act; and the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA is promulgating procedures for the handling and investigation of retaliation complaints pursuant to new whistleblower protection provisions of three statutes: (1) the Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA), section 1057 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (DFA); (2) the Seaman's Protection Act, 46 U.S.C. section 2114 (SPA); and (3) section 402 of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Promulgation of these regulations is necessary to govern whistleblower investigations conducted under the new statutes. CFPA, section 1057 of the DFA, provides protection from retaliation to employees in the consumer financial product and service industries who report alleged violations of Title X of the DFA or any other provision of law that is subject to the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, an independent bureau within the Federal Reserve System.  Pursuant to the statute, the procedures will include remedies and legal burdens of proof provisions, and a "kick-out" provision allowing the complainant to file a complaint in District Court within 90 days after receiving a written determination from OSHA, or if the Secretary has not issued a final determination within 210 days after the filing of the complaint.

SPA, as amended by section 611 of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010, transfers to OSHA the administration of the whistleblower protections previously enforced solely via a private right of action.  It provides protection from retaliation to seamen who engage in protected activities under SPA.  Pursuant to the statute, the procedures will follow those enacted under the Surface Transportation Assistance Act, 49 U.S.C. 31105, including procedures, requirements, and rights.

Section 402 of FSMA provides protection from retaliation to employees of entities engaged in manufacturing, processing, packing, transporting, distribution, reception, holding, or importation of food who engage in protected activities under FSMA.  Pursuant to the statute, the procedures will include remedies and legal burdens of proof provisions, and a "kick-out" provision allowing the complainant to file a complaint in District Court within 90 days after receiving a written determination from OSHA, or if the Secretary has not issued a final determination within 210 days after the filing of the complaint.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vertical Tandem Lifts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA issued a final rule on Longshoring on July 25, 1997 (62 FR 40142). In that rule, the Agency reserved provisions related to vertical tandem lifts. Vertical tandem lifts (VTLs) involve the lifting of two or more empty intermodal containers, secured together with twist locks. OSHA worked with national and international organizations to gather additional information on the safety of VTLs. The Agency published an NPRM to address safety issues related to VTLs. The extended comment period concluded February 13, 2004, and an informal public hearing was held on July 29 to 30, 2004. The rulemaking record closed on June 27, 2005. The Agency published a final rule for vertical tandem lifts on December 10, 2008. On June 17, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanded two provisions of the VTL final rule: the inspection requirement with respect to ship-to-shore VTLs and the total ban on platform container VTLs. According to the court's decision, there was insufficient evidence in the record that complying with those two provisions was technologically feasible. OSHA is reopening the record to assess the technological feasibility of those two provisions.]]></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 Advance 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.]]></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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazard Communication</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires chemical manufacturers and importers to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and material safety data sheets to convey the hazards and associated protective measures to users of the chemicals. All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces are required to have a hazard communication program, including labels on containers, material safety data sheets (MSDS), and training for employees. Within the United States (U.S.), there are other Federal agencies that also have requirements for classification and labeling of chemicals at different stages of the life cycle. Internationally, there are a number of countries that have developed similar laws that require information about chemicals to be prepared and transmitted to affected parties. These laws vary with regard to the scope of substances covered, definitions of hazards, the specificity of requirements (e.g., specification of a format for MSDSs), and the use of symbols and pictograms. The inconsistencies between the various laws are substantial enough that different labels and safety data sheets must often be used for the same product when it is marketed in different nations.

The diverse and sometimes conflicting national and international requirements can create confusion among those who seek to use hazard information. Labels and safety data sheets may include symbols and hazard statements that are unfamiliar to readers or not well understood. Containers may be labeled with such a large volume of information that important statements are not easily recognized. Development of multiple sets of labels and safety data sheets is a major compliance burden for chemical manufacturers, distributors, and transporters involved in international trade. Small businesses may have particular difficulty in coping with the complexities and costs involved.

As a result of this situation, and in recognition of the extensive international trade in chemicals, there has been a long-standing effort to harmonize these requirements and develop a system that can be used around the world. In 2003, the United Nations adopted the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Countries are now adopting the GHS into their national regulatory systems. OSHA published the NPRM on September 30, 2009, and held public hearings in Washington, DC, and Pittsburgh, PA, in March 2010.  The final rule was published in the Federal Register March 26, 2012.]]></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 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>

        <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 multiyear project to update these standards.  A notice describing the project was published in November 2004 (69 FR 68283).  As part of this multiyear 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 published a DFR to incorporate the 2009 CGI standard on March 8, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hawaii State Plan for Occupational Safety and Health</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OSHA will propose to reconsider final approval under section 18(e) of the OSH Act for the Hawaii State occupational safety and health plan, administered by the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (HIOSH) of the Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. Following a comment period and opportunity to request a public hearing, OSHA will make a final determination as to whether to suspend final approval of the state plan and resume concurrent Federal enforcement authority with respect to safety and health issues in the State of Hawaii.  This action is necessary in order for Federal OSHA to provide staffing, training, and enforcement assistance to the Hawaii State Plan, as was requested by the state.  Hawaii may regain final approval status when the state plan is once again "at least as effective" overall as the Federal OSHA program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Respirable Crystalline Silica </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Current standards limit exposures to quartz (crystalline silica) in respirable dust.  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.  The formula is designed to limit exposures to 0.1 mg/m3 (100 ug) of 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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Proximity Detection Systems for Mobile Machines in Underground Mines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHA will develop a proposed rule to address the hazards that miners face when working near mobile equipment in underground mines.  MSHA has concluded, from investigations or accidents involving mobile equipment and other reports, that action is needed to protect miner safety.  Mobile equipment can pin, crush, or strike a miner working near the equipment.  Proximity detection technology can prevent these types of accidents.  The proposed rule would strengthen the protection for underground miners by reducing the potential of pinning, crushing, or striking hazards associated with working close to mobile equipment.  As 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[MSHA's Approval and Certification Center was established for the purpose of testing and evaluating mine equipment and mine products to assure compliance with the applicable parts of 30 CFR.  However, with advances in technology and computerization, the approval process has become significantly more complex, resulting in more agency resources associated with approvals.  MSHA will propose changes to these regulations to reflect changes in cost of testing and evaluating mine equipment.]]></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 final rule is an important element in MSHA's Comprehensive Black Lung Reduction Strategy (Strategy) to "End Black Lung Now."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proximity Detection Systems for Continuous Mining Machines in Underground Coal Mines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule addresses hazards 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 action is necessary to protect miners.  Continuous mining machines can pin, crush, or strike a miner working near the equipment.  Proximity detection technology can prevent these types of accidents.  The final rule 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 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will also undertake regulatory action related to reducing injuries and fatalities to workers in close proximity to moving equipment and vehicles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Criteria and Procedures for Proposed Assessment of Civil Penalties; Inflation Adjustment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is revising its civil penalty assessment amounts under 30 CFR part 100 to adjust for inflation according to the requirements of the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended.  MSHA is required by this statue to adjust all civil penalties for inflation at least once every four years.  The revised penalties apply to citations and orders issued on or after the effective date of this rule. Because the decision to make the adjustments and the amount of any adjustment is not within MSHA's discretion, MSHA, for good cause, finds that public notice and comment are unnecessary and that this rule will be published as a final rule. Civil penalties that are increased by the final rule include the maximum civil penalty for regular assessments; the range of minimum and maximum civil penalties for regular assessments; the minimum and maximum penalty for failure to provide timely notification; the maximum daily penalty for failure to abate a violation for a special assessment; and the maximum penalty for violations that are deemed to be flagrant.  There is no change in the existing minimum penalty for unwarrantable violations or the existing maximum penalty for smoking or carrying smoking materials. MSHA last adjusted civil penalties for inflation in 2008 (73 FR 7206).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Refuge Alternatives for Underground Coal Mines; Limited Reopening of the Record</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanded a training provision in the Refuge Alternatives Final Rule, directing MSHA to explain the basis for requiring motor task (hands-on), decision-making, and expectations training annually rather than quarterly or to reopen the record and allow public comment.

MSHA is reopening the rulemaking record for its Refuge Alternatives Final Rule for the limited purpose of obtaining comments on the frequency for motor task (also known as "hands-on" training), decision-making, and expectations training for miners to deploy and use refuge alternatives in underground coal mines.  MSHA will review the comments to determine an appropriate course of action for the Agency in response to comments.  MSHA will publish its response in the Federal Register addressing the public comments and either explaining the reason that it is leaving the final rule unchanged or modifying the final rule as the result of the public comment process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 health or safety standards during preshift examinations.  The final rule will revise existing standards for preshift, supplemental, on-shift, and weekly examinations to address violations of mandatory health or safety standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Underground coal mines usually present harsh and hostile working environments, and the ventilation system is the most vital life support system in underground mining. A properly operating ventilation system is essential for maintaining a safe and healthful working environment. Examinations of work areas that include the ventilation system are the first line of defense for miners working in underground coal mines and are necessary to protect miners.  Conditions in underground coal mines change rapidly-- a roof that appears adequately supported can quickly deteriorate and fall; stoppings can crush out and short-circuit air currents; conveyor belts can become misaligned or belt roller bearings can fail, resulting in an ignition source; and methane can accumulate in areas where it may not have been detected.  

Diligent compliance with safety and health standards and safety-conscious work practices provide a substantial measure of protection against mine accidents and emergencies. To assure optimum safety of miners, it is imperative that operators find violations of health or safety standards, correct them, and record corrective actions taken.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Labor plans 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 for 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[Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) section 13(a)(15) provides an exemption from minimum wage and overtime compensation for domestic employees engaged in providing companionship services.  FLSA section 13(b)(21) provides an exemption from overtime compensation for live-in domestic employees.  In light of significant changes in the home care industry, the DOL is proposing to update regulations at 29 CFR part 552, Application of the FLSA to Domestic Service, including examining the definition of "companionship services," the criteria used to judge whether employees qualify as trained personnel who are not exempt companions, and the applicability of the exemption to third-party employers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fair Labor Standards Act, Child Labor Hazardous Occupations Order, No. 7</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) were enacted to ensure that when children work, the work is safe and does not jeopardize their health, well-being, or education.  To protect children from hazardous employment, the FLSA provides for a minimum age of 18 years in occupations found and declared by the Secretary of Labor to be particularly hazardous or detrimental to the health or well-being of children 16 and 17 years of age.  Hazardous Occupations Orders (HOs) are the means by which the Secretary declares certain occupations to be particularly hazardous for children.  Child Labor Hazardous Occupations Order No. 7 (Occupations involved in the operation of power-driven hoisting apparatus)(HO7) has for many years prohibited children under 18 years of age from operating or assisting in the operation of several types of hoisting apparatus.  The Department seeks information to ensure that its current nonenforcement position regarding the application of HO 7 to the operation of patient/resident lifts provides adequate protections to working youth while not unduly denying them job opportunities they can safely perform.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Longshore and Harbor Workers&apos; Compensation Act: Maximum Compensation Rate Determinations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act and its extensions, disabled workers are paid compensation based on their average weekly wage at the time of their disabling injury.  Section 6 of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 906 caps this compensation at a maximum of twice the "applicable" fiscal year's national average weekly wage.  The Secretary of Labor determines the national average wage for each fiscal year, and that determination applies to employees or survivors "currently receiving" permanent disability compensation or death benefits as well as those "newly awarded" compensation.  Litigation over which year's national average wage applies in various situations led to a recent Supreme Court decision construing the "newly awarded" phrase.  The proposed rule will implement the Supreme Court's decision and clarify how the maximum compensation rate provision applies, including the "currently receiving" phrase and other portions the Court did not address.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Black Lung Benefits Act: Standards for Chest Radiographs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Physicians use chest radiographs (X-rays) as a tool in evaluating whether a miner suffers from pneumoconiosis (black lung disease).  Accordingly, the Department's regulations implementing the Black Lung Benefits Act allow submission of radiographs and set out quality standards for their performance.  These standards, which were last revised in 1983, currently address only film radiographs.  Since their promulgation, many medical facilities have phased out the film radiography in favor of digital radiography.  This rule will update the existing film-radiography standards and provide parallel standards for digital radiographs.]]></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.  This final rule will 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 regulations implementing the affirmative action obligations of construction contractors 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.  This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) would revise 41 CFR part 60-1 and 60-4 by removing outdated regulatory provisions, proposing a new method for establishing affirmative action goals, and proposing other revisions to the affirmative action requirements that reflect the realities of the labor market and employment practices in the construction industry today.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Compensation discrimination is one form of discrimination that Executive Order 11246 prohibits.  Eliminating sex- and race-based compensation discrimination continues to be a priority for OFCCP.  To this end, OFCCP will develop a new compensation data collection tool to identify contractors likely to violate the Executive Order. In addition, the data collection tool could play a key role in OFCCP's establishment-specific, contractor-wide, and industry-wide analyses.  Through publication of an Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), OFCCP will seek to develop an effective and efficient data collection instrument.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sex Discrimination Guidelines</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 regard 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 and warrants a regulatory lookback.  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>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>

        <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 have been 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 was issued as an NPRM as well as a direct final rule. It became effective 60 days after date of publication in the Federal Register, since we did not receive a significant adverse comment by 30 days after date of publication in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 241 of the VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011 ("VOW Act", title II of Pub. L. 112-56) requires the Secretary to conduct audits to ensure compliance with the mandated duties of DVOPs and LVERs.  Further, the Act allows the Secretary to reduce funding to a state based on audit findings of non-compliance.  In order to fully implement the VOW Act, we will undertake rulemaking to promulgate the standards that will be used in making compliance determinations.  The rule will establish clear, enforceable standards for making determinations on funding reductions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exchange Visitor Program--Au Pairs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department is proposing to amend existing Exchange Visitor Program regulations to provide more flexibility for au pairs to meet the required educational component of their exchange programs.  This Proposed Rule also increases the limit on the amount of the contribution that host families must provide au pairs toward the cost of completing the required educational component, while significantly expanding the options available to au pairs to meet this requirement.  In addition to the proposed changes in the educational component, the Department is proposing language that clarifies the intent of some existing regulatory requirements and requires the development of organizational specific statements of policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the President's Export Control reform effort, the Department of State is proposing to amend the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to update and clarify its policy related to exports made by or for a United States Government Department or Agency.  The Department determined that the current rules did not adequately explain the situations in which the Department could use the exemption.  The proposed rule now clearly distinguishes between temporary imports and exports made by a U.S. Government department or agency and temporary imports and exports made for or on behalf of a U.S. Government department or agency.  Additionally, the Department has added provisions to clarify for exporters the types of exports made for or on behalf of a U.S. Government department or agency that are covered by the exemption.]]></ABSTRACT>

This proposed rule revises USML Category XIV to establish a clear distinction between the USML and the Commerce Control List (CCL) for the control of these articles.  The most significant change proposed in this rule is the movement of riot control agents to the export jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce.  Other items, previously controlled on the USML, will also be controlled on the CCL.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exchange Visitor Program--Summer Work Travel</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of State (Department) published an initial interim final rule with request for comment on April 26, 2011) (2011 IFR) to amend the regulatory requirements of the Summer Work Travel category of the Exchange Visitor Program. In a second interim final rule (2012 IFR) published May 11, 2012, the Department expanded upon and provided guidance on additional regulatory changes and bolstered portions of the regulations to both further protect the health, safety, and welfare of Summer Work Travel (SWT) Program participants and to reinforce the cultural exchange aspects of the SWT Program to promote mutual understanding in accordance with the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961. The 2012 IFR further reinforces the cultural exchange aspect of the SWT Program through the addition of a cultural component, and provides additional protection to program participants by describing types of job placements that are appropriate and by expanding the list of jobs prohibited under the SWT Program. The Department has reviewed the comments submitted in response to the 2011 IFR and the 2012 IFR, and plans to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking with a minimum of 60-days for public comment, to reflect comments received from both rulemakings and further protect the health, safety and welfare of participants by specifically requesting comments on:  greater protections for participants, restrictions on eligible participation in the SWT Program, and some additional requirements and restrictions on sponsors of the SWT Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exchange Visitor Program--General Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of State is proposing to amend the General Provisions (subpart A) of the existing Exchange Visitor Program regulations. This section of the regulations establishes the procedures for designated Program sponsors and addresses overall Program administration. It provides the overall context in which to interpret all other provisions of the Exchange Visitor Program regulations. The General Provisions have not been revised in whole in over 15 years, despite modifications of many of the category-specific regulations and changes in technology.  The proposed regulations encompass technical changes to the General Provisions and address public diplomacy and foreign policy concerns, including the Department's ability to monitor Program sponsors and to ensure the safety and well-being of foreign nationals who come to the United States as Program participants. The amendment of this section incorporates changes made to the regulations since the last update in 1993.  It ties all regulatory requirements together and consolidates the requirements set forth in the SEVIS reporting requirements regulations into the General Provisions.  This rule also proposes new requirements regarding applications for designation and redesignation, a change in the required amount of health insurance coverage, the identification of an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and Dun & Bradstreet numbers by sponsors and third party entities, the collection of employment authorization information and validation of the SEVIS record on an exchange visitor's accompanying spouse and dependents, criminal background checks on all Responsible Officers and Alternate Responsible Officers, and the implementation of management audits across all categories.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Incorporated Articles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As a part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State proposes to amend the ITAR to reflect new policies regarding coverage of incorporated articles.  The Department's review of current ITAR treatment of incorporated articles led to the proposed change with a view to limit ITAR coverage to where diversion of the embedded defense article is a realistic and practical concern.  To this end, the rulemaking proposes conditions under which a DDTC license is not required for the export or re-export of defense articles incorporated into an end-item that is "subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)." Those conditions include where the end-item would be "rendered inoperable" by the removal of the defense article, where no technical data for development or production are transferred with the defense article, and where the incorporation of the defense article does not provide (or is not related to) a military application. Additionally, no license would be required for the export or re-export of a defense article when that article would be rendered inoperable by removal from the end-item. A license would be required for the export of defense articles that are spare or replacement parts when they are embedded into a larger assembly such that they can be removed without destroying the defense articles.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: U.S. Munitions List Category VII</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State proposes to amend the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to revise Category VII (ground vehicles) of the U.S. Munitions List (USML) to describe more precisely the military ground vehicles warranting control on the USML.  This proposed rule establishes a clear distinction between the USML and the Commerce Control List (CCL) for the control of military ground vehicles. The proposed revision narrows the types of ground vehicle controlled on the USML to only those that warrant control under the stringent requirements of the Arms Export Control Act. Proposed changes include the removal of most unarmored and unarmed military vehicles, trucks, trailers, and trains (unless "specially designed" as firing platforms for weapons above .50 caliber), and armored vehicles (either unarmed or with inoperable weapons) manufactured before 1956. Also, this revision would remove gas turbine engines designed for ground vehicles from inclusion in this category.  The proposed revision contains a positive list of specific types of parts, components, accessories, and attachments that continue to warrant control on the USML.  All other parts, components, accessories, and attachments will become subject to the CCL.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Defense Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State proposes to amend the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to update the policy regarding defense services, to clarify the scope of activities that are considered a defense service, and to provide definitions of "Organizational-Level Maintenance," "Intermediate-Level Maintenance," and "Depot-Level Maintenance," and to make other conforming changes.  The Department reviewed the ITAR's treatment of defense services with a view to improving efficiency in licensing, and reducing unintended consequences. As a result, it was determined that the current definition of defense services was overly broad, capturing certain forms of assistance or services that do not warrant ITAR control.  Services based solely upon the use of public domain data would not constitute defense services under this part of the definition and, therefore, would not require a license, technical assistance agreement, or manufacturing license agreement to provide to a foreign person. The proposed new definition of defense service also includes a new provision that would control the "integration" of items, whether controlled by the U.S. Munitions List (USML) or the Commerce Control List (CCL), into USML controlled defense articles even if controlled "technical data" is not provided to a foreign person during the provision of such services. Additionally, the proposed rule proposed to specify that training for foreign "units or forces" will be considered a defense service only if the training involves the employment of a defense article, regardless of whether technical data is involved.  Also, the proposed rule specifies examples of activities that do not constitute defense services.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed revision would narrow the types of aircraft and related items controlled on the USML to only those that warrant control under the stringent requirements of the Arms Export Control Act. Changes included in the proposal include moving similar articles currently controlled in multiple categories into a single category or subcategory. The proposed rule would also more clearly define "aircraft" for purposes of the revised USML Category VIII.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, this proposed rule establishes U.S. Munitions List (USML) Category XIX to cover gas turbine engines and associated equipment currently covered in Categories VI, VII, and VIII. The USML identifies engine subcategories in all three of these categories, but there has been confusion concerning the scope of the controls in Category VI, Category VII, and Category VIII. The intent of this change is to make clear that gas turbine engines for surface vessels, vehicles, and aircraft that meet certain objective parameters are controlled on the USML.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State proposes to amend the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to revise Category VI (surface vessels of war and special naval equipment) of the U.S. Munitions List (USML) to establish a clear distinction between the USML and the Commerce Control List (CCL) for the control of these articles. The proposed revision would narrow the types of surface vessels of war and special naval equipment controlled on the USML to only those that warrant control under the stringent requirements of the Arms Export Control Act. It proposes to remove from control of the USML harbor entrance detection devices formerly controlled under Category VI(d). The Department of State is proposing to no longer include submarines, which State is proposing be controlled in Category XX.  The proposed rule also more clearly defines "surface vessels of war and special naval equipment" for purposes of the revised USML Category VI.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the President's Export Control Reform effort, the Department of State proposes to amend the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to revise Category V (explosives and energetic materials, propellants, incendiary agents, and their constituents) of the U.S. Munitions List (USML), by establishing a clear distinction between the USML and the Commerce Control List (CCL) for the control of these articles. One major change proposed to this category involves removal of broad catchalls, with the listing of specific materials that warrant ITAR control caught by current catchalls. For example, Category V, paragraph (a)(35) as currently written, broadly controls, "Any other explosive not elsewhere identified in this category specifically designed, modified, adapted, or configured (e.g., formulated) for military application." This rulemaking will remove this "catchall."  Another major change proposed to this category involves addressing U.S. obligations to multinational regimes.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rule revises USML Category XIII, re-titled "Materials and Miscellaneous Articles," to advance U.S. national security objectives and to more accurately describe the articles within the category, in order to establish a clear distinction between the USML and the Commerce Control List (CCL) for the control of such articles. Articles common to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex and the USML would be identified on the USML with the parenthetical "(MT)" at the end of each section containing such articles. A future proposed rule will address the sections in the ITAR that include MTCR definitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Schedule of Fees for consular services (Schedule) for passport fees. The rule adjusts the fee charged for the processing of first-time passport book applicants age 16 or over, as well as the fee charged for the processing of renewal passport book applicants age 16 or over. The rule also adjusts the fee charged for the processing of first-time passport book applicants under age 16. Additionally, this rule adjusts the fees charged for the processing of passport card and passport book and card applications. Finally, the rule adjust the application processing fees for additional visa pages and to perform a file search and verification of U.S. citizenship. The Department of State is adjusting the fees to ensure that sufficient resources are available to meet the costs of providing consular services in light of the recent fee review's findings that the U.S. government is not fully covering its costs for the processing of these passport services under the current fee structure.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations:  Definition for Specially Designed </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the President's export control reform initiative, the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) seeks further public comment on the proposed definition of Specially Designed. On July 15, 2011, the Department of Commerce published "Proposed Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR): Control of Items the President Determines No Longer Warrant Control under the United States Munitions List (USML)," 76 FR 41958), the Administration's proposed definition of "specially designed" that would be common to the CCL and the USML. The Departments of State and Commerce reviewed the more than 40 comments from the public on Commerce's proposed definition. The "specially designed" definition provided in this rulemaking  proposes a simplified two paragraph structure:   identify which commodities, as a result of development, are "specially designed"; and identify which parts, components, accessories, and attachments are excluded from "specially designed."  The overall rationale for the definition is to differentiate between those articles "enumerated" on the USML and those articles not enumerated but captured in "catch-all" paragraphs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Repeal of Benefits for Hostages in Iraq, Kuwait, or Lebanon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 599C of Public Law 101-513 provided limited monetary payments and Federal life and health insurance benefits as a humanitarian gesture to certain U. S. nationals held hostage in Kuwait, Iraq, or Lebanon, and to the family members thereof, subject to specified funding and other limitations.  The authorization to obligate funds under this law expired on May 5, 1991. The 1992-1993 Foreign Relations Authorization Act amended the Hostage Relief Act of 1990 to extend both the period of time during which the benefits were available, and the eligibility criteria.  In addition, section 302  contained two additional  changes with respect to hostages captured in Lebanon.  Section 302(a)(3) provided that health and life insurance benefits were available under certain circumstances for the period of the individual's hostage status, plus a 60-month period following the termination of hostage status.   Previously, these benefits expired 12 months after the termination of hostage status, which remained the law with respect to hostages held in Iraq and Kuwait.  22 CFR part 193 implemented these statutes, and described the classes of persons who could apply for benefits under the Act and the procedures according to which such applications will be processed by the Department of State.  The funds allocated for the benefits have been depleted; therefore, the Department of State is repealing part 193.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State, and Overseas Embassies and Consulates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule adopts changes to the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services (Schedule) for nonimmigrant visa and border crossing card application processing fees. This rulemaking implements a change from $ 131 to $ 140 for the fee charged for the processing of an application for most non-petition-based nonimmigrant visas (Machine-Readable Visas or MRVs) and adult Border Crossing Cards (BCCs). The rule also provides new tiers of the application fee for certain categories of petition-based nonimmigrant visas and treaty trader and investor visas. Finally, the rule increases the BCC fee charged to Mexican citizens under age 15 who apply in Mexico, and whose parent or guardian already has a BCC or is applying for one, from $ 13 to $ 14. This latter change results from a congressionally mandated surcharge that went into effect in 2009. The Department adjusted the fees to ensure that sufficient resources are available to meet the costs of providing consular services in light of an independent cost of service study's findings that the U.S. Government is not fully covering its costs for the processing of these visas under the current cost structure.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[22 CFR part 8 implemented the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) for the Department of State. This rule was last revised in 1975, and the Department made a determination not to update it, but instead to move the Department's FACA policies to the Foreign Affairs Manual -- which is consistent with the practice in other agencies, few of which include their FACA policies in the CFR.  This rulemaking deleted 22 CFR Part 8 in its entirety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Temporary Export Exemption for Chemical Agent Protective Gear</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of State is amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to add an exemption for the temporary export of chemical agent protective gear for personal use. In order to use the exemption, the chemical agent protective gear must be for the U.S. person's exclusive use and must be returned to the United States. The U.S. person may not re-export the protective gear to a foreign person or otherwise transfer ownership. The protective gear may not be exported to any country where the importation would be in violation of that country's laws.  The exemption for body armor is amended to also cover helmets when they are included with the body armor. An exemption for firearms and ammunition is clarified by removing certain extraneous language that does not change the meaning of the exemption, and by standardizing the language among the exemptions in this section of the regulations. The rulemaking also clarifies the registration requirement as it relates to certain exemptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

This amendment ceases the Department's practice of accepting DSP-53 submissions.  The Department of State's DSP-61 (Application/License for Temporary Import of Unclassified Defense Articles) is the primary means by which the Department exercises its authority to control the temporary import of defense articles. While in a limited number of instances this rule will result in different reporting and recordkeeping requirements, it does not impose any new reporting or recordkeeping requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

With this change, all DSP-5 licenses issued electronically by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and decremented electronically by U.S. Customs and Border Protection through the Automated Export System need not be returned to DDTC.

        <RULE_TITLE>International Traffic in Arms Regulations:  Sudan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[UNSC resolution 1556, adopted July 30, 2004, imposes an arms embargo on non-governmental entities and individuals operating in Darfur, with certain exceptions. Subsequently, UNSC resolution 1591, adopted on March 29, 2005, expanded the arms embargo to all parties to the N'djamena Ceasefire Agreement, including the Government of the Republic of Sudan. UNSC resolution 1945, adopted on October 14, 2010, reaffirmed and strengthened the arms embargo. Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States to deny licenses or other approvals for exports or imports of defense articles and defense services destined for or originating in the Republic of the Sudan.   On July 9, 2011, the Republic of South Sudan declared independence from Sudan and was recognized as a sovereign state by the United States. The policy of denial as it applies to the Republic of the Sudan does not apply to the Republic of South Sudan. Licenses or other approvals for exports or imports of defense articles and defense services destined for or originating in the Republic of the South Sudan will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  This rulemaking clarifies that the Republic of the Sudan is a proscribed destination, but that this policy does not apply to the Republic of South Sudan.]]></ABSTRACT>

Additionally, the Department of State amended the section pertaining to the Canadian exemption to reference the new supplement, and, with regard to Congressional certification, the Department of State added Israel to the list of countries and entities that have a shorter certification time period and a higher dollar value reporting threshold. This rule was effective with respect to the United Kingdom on April 13, 2012, concurrent with the entry into force of the U.S.-UK Treaty.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations:  Libya, and UNSCR 2009</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 26, 2011, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1970, paragraph 9 of which provides that UN member states shall immediately take the necessary measures to prevent the sale, supply, or transfer of arms and related materiel of all types to the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, with certain exceptions. On March 17, 2011, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1973, paragraph 4 of which authorizes member states to take all necessary measures, notwithstanding the arms embargo established by paragraph 9 of Resolution 1970, to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in Libya. On May 24, 2011, the Department amended the ITAR to implement the Security Council's actions by adding Libya to the list of countries subject to UN Security Council arms embargoes. The Department also announced a policy of denial for all requests for licenses or other approvals to export or otherwise transfer defense articles and services to Libya, except where not prohibited under UNSC embargo and determined to be in the interests of the national security and foreign policy of the United States.  To the existing exceptions to the arms embargo, delineated in Resolutions 1970 and 1973, Resolution 2009 adds the supply, sale, or transfer to Libya of arms and related materiel, including technical assistance, intended solely for security or disarmament assistance to the Libyan authorities, and small arms, light weapons, and related materiel for the sole use of UN personnel, representatives of the media, and humanitarian and development workers and associated personnel. License applications submitted pursuant to these exceptions are notified in advance to the Committee of the Security Council concerning Libya, and are eligible for approval in the absence of a negative decision by the Committee within five working days of such a notification.  Accordingly, the ITAR was amended to reflect these provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Schedule of Fees for consular services (Schedule) for nonimmigrant visa application processing fees, border crossing card application processing fees and immigrant visa application processing fees. The rule increases from $140 to $160 the fee charged for the processing of an application for most non-petition-based nonimmigrant visas (Machine-Readable Visas or MRVs) and Border Crossing Cards (BCCs) for Mexican citizens age 15 and over. The rule also provides amended application processing fees for certain categories of petition-based nonimmigrant visas and treaty trader and investor visas (all of which are also MRVs), as well as amended tiered application processing fees for immigrant visas. Finally, the rule increases from $14 to $15 the BCC fee charged to Mexican citizen minors who apply in Mexico, and whose parent or guardian already has a BCC or is applying for one, based on a Congressionally mandated surcharge that took effect since the last adjustment to the Schedule of Fees. The Department of State adjusted the fees to ensure that sufficient resources are available to meet the costs of providing consular services in light of the recent fee review's findings that the U.S. government is not fully covering its costs for the processing of these visas under the current fee structure.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Visas: Issuance of Full Validity L Visas to Qualified Applicants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Previous Department regulations required that the duration of the L visa be  limited to the validity period of the petition, which, under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations, cannot exceed three years. Petitioners could apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for extension of petition validity in increments of up to two years, but the total period of stay could not exceed five years for aliens employed in a specialized knowledge capacity, or seven years for aliens employed in a managerial or executive capacity. The Department changed this regulation to delink visa and petition validity periods. As a result, a nonimmigrant visa shall have the validity prescribed in schedules provided to consular officers by the Department, which reflect the reciprocal treatment the applicant's country accords U.S. nationals, U.S. permanent residents, or aliens granted refugee status in the United States. The change assists beneficiaries of petitions for L status who are nationals of countries for which the reciprocity schedule prescribes visa validity for a longer period of time than the initial validity indicated in the petition approved by DHS and who have extended their L stay while in the United States. Such individuals generally will not need to apply again for an L visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate overseas if they were to travel outside the United States during the period indicated in the applicable reciprocity schedule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule make changes to the Overseas Citizens Services (OCS) fees within the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services of the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs (Schedule).  The Department sets and collects its fees based on the concept of full cost recovery.  The Department completed its most recent review of current consular fees and will implement several changes to the Schedule of Fees based on the new fees calculated by the Cost of Service Model (CoSM).  The CoSM is an activity-based cost model.  Unlike a typical accounting system, which accounts for only traditional general-ledger-type costs such as salaries, supplies, travel, and other business expenses, activity-based cost models attempt to measure the costs of all activities and/or processes.  This provides a more accurate cost per consular product and service by better identifying items that affect the amount of work required to deliver that product or service.  Based on the CoSM, the department is adjusting these fees.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule is being promulgated to allow employees of international organizations to work independent of their sending country's work agreement with the United States, and regardless of diplomatic ties. With this change, family members of diplomats assigned to the United States will be able to accept employment with international organizations and obtain visas that reflect their status as employees of such organizations, rather than as diplomatic dependents. Inability to obtain G visas has posed an impediment to the employment of some individuals in this category.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of State amended the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to update the U.S. Government's policy toward Yemen.  This rule removes the ITAR section 126.1 limitations on defense trade with Yemen. Less restrictive defense trade will further the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States. The Republic of Yemen has taken important steps to stabilize the country, including holding successful presidential elections in February 2012. Furthermore, the Republic of Yemen is a critical partner in the United States' continuing efforts against terrorism. Defense assistance to the Yemeni government will be critical to increasing stability and security throughout the country and countering this threat.  Therefore, section 126.1(u) is removed, and the Department will review on a case-by-case basis all requests for licenses or other approvals for exports or temporary imports of defense articles and defense services destined for or originating in Yemen.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Repeal of Part 52: Marriages</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[22 CFR part 50 is being abolished because it is outdated.  Prior to November 9, 1989, consular officers at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad, when requested to do so, could make certain that foreign marriages were effective for purposes of U.S. law by acting as official witnesses to the marriage, when one of the contracting parties was a U.S. citizen, pursuant to the authority of section 31 of the Act of June 22, 1860 (22 U.S.C. 4192). The Act also provided for issuance of an official certificate of witness to such marriage.  Section 31 was repealed effective February 16, 1990, by section 123 of the FY 1990-1991 Foreign Affairs Authorization Act.  U.S. Diplomatic and Consular officers and U.S. Ambassadors cannot conduct marriage ceremonies.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the existing reporting requirements in 14 CFR 234.13 concerning the loss, injury, or death of an animal during air transport. Under the existing rule, "animal" means any warm or cold blooded animal which, at the time of transportation, is being kept as a pet in a family household in the United States. This rulemaking would expand the definition of animal to also include all cats and dogs transported by an air carrier, regardless of whether or not it is a kept as a pet in a family household. In addition, the existing rule applies to air carrier that account for 1% or more of domestic scheduled-service passenger revenues. The rulemaking would expand this to all US carriers that operate scheduled service with at least one aircraft with a design capacity of more than 60 seats.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections III</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address the following issues: (1) whether the Department should require a marketing carrier to provide assistance to its code-share partner when a flight operated by the code-share partner experiences a lengthy tarmac delay; (2) whether the Department should enhance disclosure requirements on code-share operations, including requiring on-time performance data, reporting of certain data code-share operations, and codifying the statutory amendment of 49 U.S.C. 41712(c) regarding Web site schedule disclosure of code-share operations; (3) whether the Department should expand the on-time performance "reporting carrier" pool to include smaller carriers; (4) whether the Department should require travel agents to adopt minimum customer service standards in relation to the sale of air transportation; (5) whether the Department should require ticket agents to disclose the carriers whose tickets they sell or do not sell and information regarding any incentive payments they receive in connection with the sale of air transportation; (6) whether the Department should require ticket agents to disclose any preferential display of individual fares or carriers in the ticket agent's Internet displays; (7) whether the Department should require additional or special disclosures regarding certain substantial fees, e.g., oversize or overweight baggage fees; (8) whether the Department should prohibit post-purchase price increase for all services and products not purchased with the ticket or whether it is sufficient to prohibit post-purchase prices increases for baggage charges that traditionally have been included in the ticket price; and (9) whether the Department should require that ancillary fees be displayed through all sale channels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Carrier-Supplied Medical Oxygen, Accessible In-Flight Entertainment Systems, Service Animals, and Accessible Lavatories on Single-Aisle Aircraft</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is the second of two supplemental notices of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to follow-up on air travel accessibility issues discussed in the preamble of the 2008 final Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) rule but deferred for final decision to a later rulemaking. (The first SNPRM is RIN 2105-AD96.) This rulemaking action would consider (1) whether there are safety-related reasons for excluding service animals other than dogs that may be specific to foreign carriers; (2) whether carriers should be required to supply in-flight medical oxygen for a fee to passengers who require it to access air transportation; (3) whether providing accessible in-flight entertainment to passengers with disabilities is technically and economically feasible; (4) whether certain changes should be made to provisions allowing carriers to require medical documentation and 48 hours advance notice from users of emotional support and psychiatric service animals; and (5) whether carriers should be required to report to the Department annually the number of requests for wheelchair assistance they receive. The rulemaking would also seek public comment on the feasibility of requiring accessible lavatories on certain single-aisle aircraft, expanding the applicability of certain required seating accommodations, and clarifications of certain requirements pertaining to the carriage of service animals.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is the first of two supplemental notices of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to follow-up on air travel accessibility issues discussed in the preamble of the 2008 final Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) rule but deferred for final decision to a later rulemaking. (The second SNPRM is RIN 2105-AE12.) This rulemaking action would consider: (1) whether carriers should be required to make Web sites they operate and on which their agents sell airport transportation on their behalf accessible to people with disabilities; and (2) whether automated kiosks operated by carriers at U.S. airports should be required to be accessible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>This proposed rule would assist the FAA in its oversight responsibilities and ensure consistency between contract and in-house air carrier maintenance. Over 10 years, the cost to par 121 and part 135 air carriers and the FAA would be approximately $2.4 million ($1.6 million, present value at 7%). The FAA believes these benefits have value exceeding the costs.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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 rulemaking would exclude tethered launches from the licensing requirements of 14 CFR chapter III. This rulemaking is necessary to maintain public safety for these launches by providing launch vehicle operators with clear and simple criteria for a safe tethered launch. For tethered launches that satisfy the design and operational criteria, the FAA would not require a license, permit or waiver. This action is intended to impose no additional requirements on operators, but provides an alternative to conducting a tethered launches.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would permit operators to use an EFVS in lieu of natural vision to continue descending from 100 feet height above runway touchdown zone elevation to the runway and land on certain straight-in instrument approach procedures under instrument flight rules. This action would also permit certain operators using EFVS-equipped aircraft to dispatch, release, or takeoff under instrument flight rules (IFR), and to initiate and continue an approach, when the destination airport weather is below authorized visibility minimums for the runway of intended landing. Pilot training, recent flight experience, and proficiency would be required for operators who use EFVS in lieu of natural vision to descend below decision altitude, decision height, or minimum descent altitude.The FAA believes that an EFVS can provide operational and safety benefits during Category II and Category III approach operations. The rulemaking would enable expanded EFVS operations, which would increase access and efficiency in low visibility conditions, and potentially result in fewer missed approaches and delayed take-offs.]]></ABSTRACT>

Anticipated costs/benefits:  Previously, the FAA estimated the costs of the proposed rule over 10 years would be approximately $5.3 million nominal value. Subsequently, the FAA expanded the scope of this rulemaking project, which will impact the cost and benefits of this rule.  The team is currently in the process of conducting the regulatory evaluation and preliminary cost savings data is not yet available.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

These revisions would update the current requirements and are consistent with current practices at the Federal ranges.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Harmonization of Airworthiness Standards-Gust and Maneuver Load Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would update requirements that address gust and maneuver loads, including engine failure loads. These changes are based on Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) recommendations incorporated in the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Certification Specifications for Large Aeroplanes (CS-25) requirements.  ARAC tasked the Loads & Dynamics Harmonization Working Group to review and eliminate differences between EASA CS-25 and 14 CFR part 25.

        <RULE_TITLE>Harmonization of Airworthiness Standards--Miscellaneous Structures Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would update numerous structure requirements based on Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) recommendations that are already incorporated in the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Certification Specifications for Large Aeroplanes (CS-25) requirements. ARAC tasked the Loads & Dynamics Harmonization Working Group to review and eliminate differences between EASA CS-25 and 14 CFR part 25. Since then, EASA has incorporated some of the recommended changes into CS-25, and this rulemaking would incorporate the standards as adopted by EASA into 14 CFR part 25, as recommended by ARAC. This rulemaking benefits manufacturers who would only need to consider one set of certification requirements. This harmonization effort would also reduce FAA workload and improve standardization.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standard Instrument Approach Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.  10/00/2012 - 10/00/2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

The rulemaking would improve safety by addressing supercooled large drop icing conditions for transport category airplanes most affected by supercooled large drop icing conditions, mixed phase and ice crystal conditions for all transport category airplanes, and supercooled large drop, mixed phase, and ice crystal icing conditions for all turbine engines. This rulemaking is the result of information gathered from a review of icing accidents and incidents.]]></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 operating under 14 CFR part 121. 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.  The FAA will issue an initial supplemental regulatory evaluation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the eligibility and qualification requirements for pilots engaged in part 121 air carrier operations. Additionally, it would modify the requirements for an airline transport pilot certificate. These actions are necessary because recent airline accidents and incidents have brought considerable attention to the experience level and training of air carrier flight crews. This rulemaking is a result of requirements in Public Law 111-216.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Management Systems for Certificate Holders</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would require each certificate holder operating under 14 CFR part 121 to develop and implement a safety management system (SMS) to improve the safety of its aviation related activities. A safety management system is a comprehensive, process-oriented approach to managing safety throughout an organization. An SMS includes an organization-wide safety policy; formal methods for identifying hazards, controlling, and continually assessing risk and safety performance; and promotion of a safety culture. SMS stresses not only compliance with technical standards but increased emphasis on the overall safety performance of the organization.This rulemaking is required under Public Law 111-216, section 215.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules of Practice for Federally-Assisted Airport Enforcement Proceedings (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would update, simplify, and streamline rules of practice and procedure for filing and adjudicating complaints against federally-assisted airports. It would improve efficiency by enabling parties to file submissions with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) electronically, and by incorporating modern business practices into how the FAA handles complaints. This rulemaking is necessary to reflect changes in applicable laws and regulations, and to apply lessons learned since the existing rules were implemented in 1996. The intended effects of this action are to improve the efficiency of the complaint and investigation processes, and clarify process requirements for persons involved in complaint proceedings.  Small businesses, including general aviation operators and aviation service businesses such as fixed base operators (FBOs), charter providers, and aircraft management companies, who are often involved in complaints, would benefit from this rule because it would decrease time spent and volume of paper documents needed to process complaints by allowing parties to file electronically.]]></ABSTRACT>

Anticipated costs/benefits: The rulemaking adds no costs. Small businesses, including general aviation operators and aviation service businesses such as fixed base operators (FBOs), charter providers, and aircraft management companies, who are often involved in complaints, would benefit from this rule because it would decrease time spent and volume of paper documents needed to process complaints by allowing parties to file electronically. A new option allowing a respondent to file a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment would potentially reduce the length of the proceedings. Because the rule does not involve widespread, mandated information collection/record keeping, it does not have ICR implications.

        <RULE_TITLE>Combined Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs for Operators Conducting Commercial Air Tours (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would allow part 119 certificate holders with operations under part 121 or 135 who also conduct commercial air tour operations under 14 CFR part 91.147 to combine drug and alcohol testing programs.  This rulemaking is necessary because it would allow certificate holders to implement one drug and alcohol testing program while conducting operations for what has been considered historically two separate employing entities.  The intended effect is to allow operators who are currently required to have 2 separate drug and alcohol testing programs to consolidate these programs into one, which FAA believes will result in cost-savings due to a reduction in duplicate administrative and recordkeeping costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

Anticipated costs/benefits:   This revision will allow operators who are currently required to have 2 separate drug and alcohol testing programs to consolidate these programs into one, which FAA believes will result in cost-savings due to a reduction in duplicate administrative and recordkeeping costs. In addition, for those operators currently combining their drug testing programs under an exemption, this rulemaking will eliminate the need to file an exemption request, resulting in additional reduction in paperwork burdens.  
Comment period closed 8/31/12 and FAA is analyzing comments.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise the nitrous oxide (NOx) emission standards for fuel venting and exhaust emission requirements for turbine-engine powered airplanes; amend Identification and Registration Marking for aircraft engines; add compliance flexibilities and other regulatory requirements for aircraft turbofan or turbojet engines with rated thrust greater than 26.7 kN, and incorporate certain requirements for aircraft gas turbine engines subject to exhaust emission standards. This rulemaking is necessary to conform  with new EPA requirements and harmonize with ICAO standards.   This rulemaking was recently downgraded to nonsignificant and will not appear on next month´s report.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exiting Icing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish the standards for when flightcrews need to take action to exit icing conditions.  If adopted, this rulemaking would apply to aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of less than 60,000 pounds.  This rulemaking is based on recommendations from an Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee working group after reviewing certain accidents and incidents. The intended affect of this action is to avoid similar accidents and incidents in the future.  This rulemaking replaces RIN 2120-AJ74, for which an NPRM had originally been scheduled for 11/02/2011.  This rulemaking has expanded the scope of RIN 2120-AJ74 to include requirements for design approval holders.]]></ABSTRACT>

The intended effect would improve aviation safety by ensuring data is available to the flightcrew at all times.]]></ABSTRACT>

Anticipated costs/benefits:  This direct final rule imposes minor, if any, costs on the affected pilot population. The benefit of the direct final rule will be that it relieves approximately 28,000 airmen vetted through the FAA special-issuance medical certification process from having to carry their FAA-issued LOA with them when exercising pilot privileges.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Part 135 Airport Minimums </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would allow operators to conduct lower than standard instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at military airports or outside the United States when authorized to do so by their operations specifications. This action is necessary because that rule limits operators to takeoff minimum visibility of 1 mile, and a landing minimum visibility of ½ mile when conducting instrument flight rules operations. The intended effect of this action would conform with the requirements of the regulations governing operations at domestic civilian airports, which allow lower than standard IFR operations when authorized by a certificate holder's operations specifications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Orbital Debris Mitigation Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would reduce the likelihood of creating orbital debris from a launch vehicle´s upper stages discarded on orbit.  Specifically, the rulemaking would more closely align the FAA regulations with the U.S. Government Orbital Debris Mitigation Standard Practices, as directed by the 2010 National Space Policy.  This action is necessary to prevent the near Earth space environment from slowly being littered with debris, which increases the likelihood of collisions either between debris and spacecraft or debris and other debris.  The intended effect of this action would preserve the viability of the Low Earth Orbit region, and preserve the future space environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Tunnel Inspection Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise 23 CFR part 650 -- Bridges, Structures, and Hydraulics, by adding the National Tunnel Inspection Standards (NTIS) under subpart E.  We anticipate that the NTIS may be modeled after the existing National Bridge Inspection Standards and may include requirements for, among other things, inspection procedures, the qualifications and training of inspectors, and a National Tunnel Inventory.  The FHWA has changed the stage from a final rule to a SNPRM because MAP-21 broadened FHWA´s authority to include all highway tunnels.  In addition, it made a number of changes to the NBIS, upon which this rulemaking is based.  In order to conform the two processes and to reassess the cost benefit analysis of this rulemaking, a supplemental NPRM is being pursued.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of our retrospective regulatory review, this rulemaking would revise and update regulations governing the procurement, management, and administration of engineering and design related services directly related to a highway construction project and reimbursed with Federal-aid highway program funding.  This rulemaking would align FHWA´s regulations with changes in legislation and other applicable regulations.  This rulemaking would also address findings and recommendations from national audits and reviews as well as advancements in the state-of-the-practice, and to enhance FHWA´s stewardship and oversight of these regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

Actual or Target Completion Date
- The FHWA estimates that the final rule will be published in July 2012.  

Anticipated savings in costs and/or information collection burdens, together with any anticipated changes in benefits 
- The FHWA proposes to revise certain information relating to target compliance dates for traffic control devices.  Consistent with Executive Order 13563, and in particular its emphasis on burden-reduction and on retrospective analysis of existing rules, the proposed changes are intended to reduce the costs and impacts of compliance dates on State and local highway agencies and to streamline and simplify the information.

Progress updates and anticipated accomplishments 
- The NPRM was published on August 31, 2011, at 76 FR 54156, and the comment period closed on October 31, 2011.  The FHWA estimates that a final rule will be published in July 2012.

        <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 Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) initiative.  CSA is an operational model FMCSA implemented 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 entrant audits, the compliance review is the Agency´s primary intervention.  Under CSA, FMCSA would propose to implement a broader array of 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 from crashes, inspections, investigations, and violation history rather than just the standard compliance review.

        <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 Clearinghouse. Prospective employers, acting on an application for a CDL driver position with the applicant´s written consent to access the Clearinghouse, would query the Clearinghouse to determine if any specific information about the driver applicant is in the Clearinghouse 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Logging Devices and Hours of Service Supporting Documents </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish: (1) minimum performance standards for  electronic logging devices (ELDs); (2) requirements for the mandatory use of the devices by drivers required to prepare handwritten records of duty status (RODS); (3) requirements concerning HOS supporting documents; and (4) measures to ensure that the mandatory use of ELDs will not result in harassment of drivers by motor carriers and enforcement officials. This rulemaking would supplement the Agency's  February 1, 2011, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and address issues raised by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit Court in its 2011 decision vacating the Agency's April 5, 2010, final rule concerning ELDs. This action would improve compliance with the hours-of-service (HOS) rules and thereby decrease the risk of fatigue-related crashes attributable to non-compliance with the applicable HOS requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking proposes to (1) require certified medical examiners (MEs) performing physical examinations on drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMV) to use a newly developed Medical Examination Report (MER) Form; (2) require MEs to use a prescribed form for the medical examiner's certificate; (3) require MEs to report results of all completed commercial drivers' physical examinations (including the results of examinations where the driver was found not to be qualified) to FMCSA by close of business on the day of the examination; (4) transmit information from the Medical Examiner's Certificate electronically from the National Registry system to the State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs);(5) transmit to the SDLAs information about Medical Examiner's Certificates that have been invalidated because a subsequent examination has found that the driver is not physically qualified; and (6) require the Agency to transmit medical variance information for such drivers electronically to the SDLAs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend FMCSA´s regulations to enable the Agency to prevent interstate transportation by motor carriers that employ officers who have shown unusual and repeated disregard for safety compliance.  The rulemaking would define conduct that constitutes a pattern or practice of avoiding compliance or otherwise concealing noncompliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.  These revisions would implement certain provisions of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) and are designed to enhance the safety of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations on our nation´s highways.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lease and Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rulemaking would adopt regulations governing the lease and interchange of passenger vehicles to: (1) identify the motor carrier operating a bus or motorcoach and responsible for compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; (2) ensure that a lessor surrenders control of the vehicle for the full term of the lease or temporary exchange of vehicles and drivers; and (3) prohibit motor carriers subject to a prohibition of operating in interstate commerce from leasing their vehicles to other carriers. This action is necessary to ensure that unsafe passenger carriers cannot evade FMCSA oversight and enforcement by operating under the authority of another carrier that exercises no actual control over those operations. This action would ensure that FMCSA, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and our State partners are able to identify motor carriers transporting passengers in interstate commerce and correctly assign responsibility for regulatory violations during inspections, investigations, compliance reviews, and crash studies.  It also would provide the general public with the means to identify the responsible motor carrier at the time of transportation.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking would remove a significant information collection burden without adversely impacting safety.

        <RULE_TITLE>Prohibition of Coercion</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 32911 of MAP-21 amended 49 U.S.C. section 31136(a) to require that regulations governing commercial motor vehicle safety "ensure ... an operator of a commercial motor vehicle is not coerced by a motor carrier, shipper, receiver, or transportation intermediary to operate a commercial vehicle in violation of a regulation promulgated under [49 U.S.C. section 31136 or chapters 51 or 313 of title 49, U.S.C.]." 

Given this new statutory requirement takes effect October 1, 2012, this rulemaking must be fast tracked because it affects any new FMCSA rulemaking. Future rulemakings would need to consider whether coercion of drivers is a concern. However, in rules where coercion would need to be considered, the Agency would cross reference its regulation on coercion]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Unified Registration System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would establish a new Unified Registration System (URS) to replace three legacy systems in support of FMCSA´s safety and commercial oversight responsibilities.  It would require all entities subject to FMCSA jurisdiction to comply with a new URS registration and biennial update requirement, disclose the cumulative registration information collected by URS and provides a cross-reference to all regulatory requirements necessary to obtain permanent registration.  It implements statutory provisions in the ICC Termination Act and SAFTEA-LU.  URS 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 has determined the total net societal benefits of the rule to be $19.5 million and the total societal costs to be $26.5 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FMCSA amends the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations in response to the two agriculture-related provisions in MAP-21.   The two provisions concerning the transportation of agriculture-related items by commercial motor vehicles (CMVs): section 32934 ?Exemptions from Requirements for Covered Farm Vehicles? and  section 32101(d), ?Transportation of Agricultural Commodities and Farm Supplies.?  Section 32101(d) of MAP-21 amends section 229(a)(1) of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 [49 U.S.C. 31136 (note)] which provides a statutory exception to the hours-of-service (HOS) rules for drivers of CMVs engaged in the transportation of agricultural commodities and farm supplies.  Section 32934 of MAP-21 provides a statutory exception to most of the FMCSRs, including those pertaining to commercial driver?s licenses and driver qualification requirements, for the operation of covered farm vehicles by farm and ranch operators, their employees, and certain other specified individuals under specific circumstances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Redundant Maintenance Rule (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FMCSA would amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations to eliminate redundant inspection, repair, and maintenance requirements.  Specifically, the FMCSA would amend the regulations to include within 49 CFR 396.3, concerning general maintenance rules, requirements that vehicles be properly lubricated and free of oil and grease leaks.  Currently, the requirements addressing oil and grease leaks, and lubrication are covered in a separate section.  The Agency believes combining the requirements in a single section of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations would improve the clarity of the safety regulations and eliminate a redundancy in the maintenance rules.]]></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 (CMV) 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 who 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>Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance; Driver-Vehicle Inspection Report for Intermodal Equipment (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise a requirement of the FMCSRs that applies to intermodal equipment providers and motor carriers operating intermodal equipment (IME).  The rulemaking would 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 rulemaking 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 will remove the CFR sections put into place by the vacated final rule 2126-AA89. On April 5, 2010, FMCSA issued a related final rule (RIN 2126-AA89) that required the use of EOBRs by motor carriers with significant hours-of-service violations (75 FR 17208). A petition for judicial review was filed with the Seventh Circuit. On August 26, 2011, the court vacated the final rule due to how driver harassment was addressed by it.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Recission of Quarterly Financial Reporting Requirements (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this direct final rulemaking, FMCSA would rescind the quarterly financial reporting requirements for certain for-hire motor carriers of property (Form QFR)  and for-hire motor carriers of passengers (Form MP-1).  These requirements are included in 49 CFR Part 369 and apply to Class I (average annual gross transportation operating revenues of $10 million or more) and Class II (average annual gross transportation operating revenues of $3 million dollars or more, but less than $10 million)  for-hire motor carriers of property.  The requirements also apply to Class I (average annual gross transportation operating revenues of $5 million or more) for-hire motor carriers of passengers.  This burden can be removed without an adverse impact on safety or the Agency´s ability to maintain effective commercial regulations over the for-hire trucking and passenger-carrying industries.  FMCSA estimates that the elimination of these reporting requirements reduces the burden to industry by 202.4 hours or $9,989.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would reissue a regulation implementing a statutory requirement that FMCSA revoke the operating authority of a motor carrier that is prohibited from operating in interstate commerce for failure to comply with safety fitness requirements.  These changes were initially adopted as a part of final rule 2126-AA89 (EOBR1), which was vacated by a Seventh Circuit Court decision in August 2011.  This provision of the vacated rule was not discussed in the court's opinion, and, as it is required by SAFELEA-LU, it is being repromulgated as a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would remove the provision that gives the agency the discretion to allow a motor carrier transporting either passengers or hazardous materials requiring placards an additional 10 days before a proposed unsatisfactory safety rating becomes final when the carrier has asked the agency to change the proposed rating because corrective actions have been taken. This provision is inconsistent with 49 U.S.C. 31144(c)(4) and is contrary to the Department´s safety policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Early Warning Reporting and Foreign Defect Reporting Regulation</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would make amendments to the early warning reporting (EWR) rule established pursuant to the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act, as well as amendments to the regulations governing motor vehicle and equipment recalls.  

As to the changes to the EWR rule, this rulemaking would require that new safety equipment be added to the list of components for which manufacturers must provide early warning reporting.  This rulemaking would add requirements that light vehicle manufacturers specify the vehicle type and the fuel or propulsion system type (like hybrids) in their quarterly EWR submissions.  It would also add new component categories of electronic stability control for light vehicles, buses, emergency vehicles, and medium-heavy vehicle manufacturers; and forward collision avoidance, lane departure prevention, and back over prevention for light vehicle manufacturers.  In addition to the EWR proposals, this rulemaking would require motor vehicle manufacturers to submit their annual list of substantially similar vehicles via the Internet. 

As for amendments to the safety recalls regulations, this rulemaking would impose various enhancements to garner information, in many cases electronically, that are expected to help expedite the agency’s review, processing, and distribution of information to the public related to a safety recall, as well as expedite the manufacturer’s information on a recall to affected owners and  better inform consumers of whether their personal vehicles are affected by a safety recall.  This rulemaking would be responsive to requirements of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act.]]></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>Tire Fuel Efficiency Consumer Information - Part 2</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to requirements of the Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007 to establish a national tire fuel efficiency consumer information program for replacement tires designed for use on motor vehicles. On March 30, 2010, NHTSA published a final rule specifying the test procedures to be used to rate the performance of replacement passenger car tires for this new program (75 FR 15893). This rulemaking would address how this information would be made available to consumers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mandatory 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>Heavy Vehicle Speed Limiters  

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to petitions from ATA and Roadsafe America to require the installation of speed limiting devices on heavy trucks. In response to the petitions, NHTSA requested public comment on the subject and received thousands of comments supporting the petitioner’s request. Based on the available safety data and the ancillary benefit of reduced fuel consumption, this rulemaking would consider a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that would require the installation of speed limiting devices on heavy trucks. We believe this rule would have minimal cost, as all heavy trucks already have these devices installed, although some vehicles do not have the limit set. This rule would decrease the estimated 1,115 fatal crashes annually involving vehicles with a GVWR of over 11,793.4 kg (26,000 lbs) on roads with posted speed limits of 55 mph or above.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Motorcoach Rollover Structural Integrity  

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would promulgate a new FMVSS for rollover structural integrity requirements for motorcoaches.  In August 2007, NHTSA published a motorcoach safety plan identifying four specific priority items: seat belts on motorcoaches, rollover structural integrity, emergency evacuation, and fire safety. The DOT published a comprehensive motorcoach safety action plan in November 2009 that reiterated NHTSA´s motorcoach safety priorities. This rulemaking also addresses 6 recommendations issued by the NTSB on motorcoach roof strength and structural integrity and is responsive to requirements of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consumer Information on Fuel Economy, Emissions, and Alternative Fuel Usage </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would, as required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and promulgated under 49 U.S.C. section 32908 (g), develop and implement a consumer information campaign to: (1)  improve understanding of automobile performance related to fuel economy, greenhouse gas emissions, and other pollutant emissions; (2) inform consumers of the benefits of using alternative fuels and the location of alternative fueling stations; (3) and increase awareness of automotive thermal management technologies. 

This rulemaking is the third, and final, phase of consumer information initiatives required by EISA. The first phase promulgated new Fuel Economy and Environment labels for new automobiles, and was finalized in May 2011 (2127-AK73). The second phase (2127-AK75), currently being developed, addresses EISA requirements to: affix a permanent and prominent display that identifies new automobiles that are capable of operating on alternative fuels; attach a label to the fuel tank filler compartment of alternative fuel vehicles; and include in the owner´s manual for vehicles capable of operating on alternative fuels information describing the benefits of using alternative fuels, including their renewable nature and environmental benefits .]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amend Definition of Motorcycle to Exclude Enclosed 3-Wheeled Passenger Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would change the regulatory definition of motorcycle to exclude three-wheeled vehicles that are configured like passenger cars. Under the existing regulatory definition of motorcycle in Part 571.3, three-wheeled motor vehicles are classified as motorcycles. This is appropriate for motorcycles with sidecars, trikes, and other three-wheeled vehicles that are based on a motorcycle-like configuration. However, other three-wheeled vehicles have passenger-car characteristics such as fully enclosed cabins, hinged doors with roll-up windows, steering wheels, and side-by-side seating. Because these car-like vehicles ride on three wheels instead of four, they are not required to meet federal safety standards for passenger cars (although they are subject to motorcycle safety standards.) Various car-like three-wheeled vehicle models have been imported into the U.S. and have been available for sale to the public. NHTSA believes consumers who purchase these vehicles are likely to assume that these vehicles have the same safety features and crash protection as passenger cars certified to federal safety standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to a petition from Bruno Independent Living Aids to amend 49 CFR part 595, subpart C, Make Inoperative Exemptions, Vehicle Modifications to Accommodate People With Disabilities. Bruno is requesting that the agency include a new exemption relating to the Federal motor vehicle safety standard for ejection mitigation that would allow them to modify vehicles without taking the vehicle out of compliance to facilitate the mobility of physically disabled drivers and passengers. This request is similar to others already granted by the agency.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, &quot;Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment&quot; 
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would restore the side marker lamp requirements for vehicles that are over 80 inches wide, and also less than 30 feet in overall length, to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment. The requirements were modified when the agency published a final rule reorganizing the standard on December 4, 2007. A 1980 final rule created a relaxed requirement for vehicles that are less than 30 feet in overall length, so that dual wheeled pickup trucks that share components with regular pickup trucks did not have to meet separate requirements. This relaxed requirement was inadvertently omitted when the rule was reorganized in 2007, so this rulemaking would restore the 1980 language.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lamps and Reflective Devices for Agricultural Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would meet the requirements of section 31601, Rulemaking on Visibility of Agricultural Equipment, of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), Public Law 112-141. This is a statutory mandate. The purpose of this rule would be to improve the daytime and nighttime visibility of agricultural equipment that may be operated on a public road.  The rule would establish minimum lighting and marking standards for applicable agricultural equipment that are equivalent to American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) Standard 279.14, "Lighting and Marking of Agricultural Equipment on Highways," or any successor standard, in accordance with section 31601 of the MAP-21.  Pursuant to section 31601 of the MAP-21, agricultural equipment has the meaning given the term "agricultural field equipment" in the ASABE Standard 390.4: "Agricultural tractors, self-propelled machines, implements, and combinations thereof designed primarily for agricultural field operations." The costs and benefits of this regulation have not yet been determined. According to section 31505 of the Motor Vehicle and Highway Safety Improvement Act of 2012, Public Law 112-141, division C, title I, if the Secretary determines that any deadline for issuing a final rule under this act cannot be met, a new deadline may be established and a letter must be submitted to Congress explaining why the deadline cannot be met.]]></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>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 and to a newly enacted statutory mandate in MAP-21 to require seat belts in certain buses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Stability Control Systems for Heavy Vehicles  

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would promulgate a new Federal standard that would require stability control systems on truck tractors and motorcoaches that address both rollover and loss of control crashes, after an extensive research program to evaluate the available technologies, an evaluation of the costs and benefits, and a review of manufacturer´s product plans. Rollover and loss of control crashes involving heavy vehicles is a serious safety issue that is responsible for 304 fatalities and 2,738 injuries annually. They are also a major cause of traffic tie-ups, resulting in millions of dollars of lost productivity and excess energy consumption each year. Suppliers and truck and motorcoach manufacturers have developed stability control technology for heavy vehicles to mitigate these types of crashes. Our preliminary estimate produces an effectiveness range of thirty-seven to fifty-six percent against single-vehicle tractor-trailer rollover crashes and three to fourteen percent against loss of control crashes that result from skidding on the road surface. With these effectiveness estimates, annually, we estimate 29 - 66 lives would be saved, 517 - 979 MAIS 1-5 injuries would be reduced, and 810 - 1,693 crashes that involved property damage only would be eliminated. Additionally, it would save $10 - $26 million in property damage and travel delays. Based on the technology unit costs and affected vehicles, we estimate technology costs would be $55 to 107 million, annually. However, the costs savings from reducing travel delay and property damage would produce net benefits of $128 - $372 million.  This rulemaking is responsive to requirements of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to a petition for reconsideration of a July 27, 2011 final rule.  In response to earlier petitions, the agency made small adjustments to the new stopping distance requirements for truck tractors when tested from initial speeds below 60 mph. In this new petition, the petitioners ask for (1)  additional lengthening of the lower initial speed stopping distance requirements for non-typical truck tractors, and (2) that stopping distance requirements for 20 and 25 mph initial speeds be removed from the standard, since they do not apply to any truck tractors. Granting or denying the first requested change would have little to no associated costs. Granting or denying the second requested change would have no associated costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Response to Petitions for Reconsideration, Designated Seating Position and Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to remaining issues regarding petitions for reconsideration received in response to a final rule. On October 8, 2008, NHTSA published a final rule amending the definition of the term, "designated seating position," as used in the Federal motor vehicle safety standards, to more clearly indicate which areas within the interior of a vehicle meet that definition. The final rule also established a calculation procedure for determining the number of designated seating positions at a seat location based upon seating surface width for passenger cars, buses, and light trucks and multipurpose passenger vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) less than 4,536 kilograms (kg) (10,000 pounds (lbs.)). On December 23, 2009 (74 FR 68185), a partial final rule responding to petitions for reconsideration was published that allowed one additional year of lead time so that vehicle manufacturers would need to start complying with the final rule on September 1, 2011. This final rule would address the remaining petitions for reconsideration and requests for interpretation of the October 2008 final rule. These include changes to the adopted definition of a DSP, the seating surface measuring procedure, countermeasure definition, and the DSP calculation. It would also address technical corrections, similitude with draft SAE J1100:2009, consumer information labels for non-DSPs and petitions on preemption.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to title 49 U.S.C., section 33112; Insurance Reports and Information of the Motor Vehicle Theft Law Enforcement Act, NHTSA promulgated 49 CFR part 544, which required certain passenger motor vehicle insurers to file an annual report with the agency. Each insurer's report included information about thefts and recoveries of motor vehicles, the rating rules used by the insurer to establish premiums for comprehensive coverage, the actions taken by the insurer to reduce such premiums, and the actions taken by the insurer to reduce or deter theft.  As part of MAP-21, Congress subsequently repealed section 33112, and, as NHTSA has no other statutory basis to require this information, NHTSA is repealing part 544.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>State Graduated Driver Licensing Incentive Grant</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 6, 2012, the President signed into law, the Moving Ahead of Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), Public Law 112-141, which among other things, amended the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration´s (NHTSA) highway safety grant program (23 U.S.C. 402) and consolidated other grants into a single grant program, the national priority safety program grants (23 U.S.C. 405). MAP-21 requires NHTSA to award grants pursuant to rulemaking and to establish minimum qualification criteria for the graduated driver licensing (GDL) grant in accordance with the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act. In order to meet the statutory rulemaking requirements and to award all grants timely in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, NHTSA must proceed with an expedited rulemaking. Accordingly, NHTSA is taking a two-pronged approach. NHTSA is preparing an interim final rule (IFR) to implement the grant criteria for all of the grants. Simultaneously, NHTSA is preparing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for the minimum requirements for the GDL grant with a 20-day comment period. (NHTSA is seeking a separate RIN for the IFR.) NHTSA intends to incorporate the GDL provisions, including addressing any comments in response to the NPRM, into the IFR for all of the grants. The short comment period is necessary to ensure that NHTSA meets the expedited schedule necessary to provide States with sufficient opportunity to apply for FY 2013 and FY 2014 grants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Corrections and Minor Revisions to the MY 2014-2018 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the first-ever program to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fuel consumption in the heavy-duty highway vehicle sector. This broad sector – ranging from large pickups to sleeper-cab tractors – together represent the second largest contributor to oil consumption and GHG emissions from the mobile source sector, after light-duty passenger cars and trucks. The final rule was published in the Federal Register on September 15, 2011 (76 FR 57106). NHTSA is issuing this rulemaking to revise portions of the regulations in 49 CFR part 535 to correct technical errors and gaps identified in the promulgated MY 2014-2018 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles final rule.]]></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 override 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>

        <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. This rulemaking would address emerging safety concerns that NHTSA has identified using consumer compliance data 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. We anticipate 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 would be reduced consumer confusion with these new controls and reduced 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>

Those manufacturers only testing to the current FMVSS 205 (ANSI Z26.1) and not ECE Regulation 43 would experience increased testing costs of between $1,900 and $2,100.  Those manufacturers currently testing to both standards would experience a net savings.  Because we do not know how many manufacturers are testing to multiple glazing standards, we cannot directly estimate the overall economic impact of the proposal.  However, we do not believe that the economic impacts of this proposal would be greater than $0.009 to $0.01 per vehicle for a new make and model based on the possible increase in testing costs of $1,900 to $2,100 divided by an average vehicle design lifetime sales of 210,000 units.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amend FMVSS No. 210 to Incorporate the Use of a New Force Application Device (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 210, Seat belt assembly anchorages, to replace the existing body blocks for testing the strength of seat belts with a new Force Application Device and associated positioning procedure.  Because the device is easier to use than the current body blocks, this rulemaking would simplify the compliance test of the standard and make NHTSA´s evaluation of seat belt anchorage strength more effective. We estimate the one-time cost of purchasing a set of these devices (approximately $40,000) would be offset by the continual labor cost savings in setting up the devices for testing. NHTSA´s testing has demonstrated that the proposed force application devices do not appear to affect the stringency of the standard.]]></ABSTRACT>

We anticipate that this rule will reduce testing costs compared to current standard.  This rule will also reduce NHTSA compliance costs and industry testing costs annually starting with the effective date.  
We estimate the cost of each of the two sizes of the Force Application Device to be approximately $8,000 each.  Assuming a vehicle manufacturer or testing facility purchases a set of two FAD1s and three FAD2s, the principal cost associated with this NPRM is the one-time  purchase cost of the set, totaling $40,000.  The FADs require significantly less effort, time and personnel to install in the test vehicle.  Thus, we believe there would be associated cost savings which could off-set the purchase cost of the FADs.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deregulation of FMVSS No. 219, Windshield Zone Intrusion  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would rescind FMVSS No. 219, Windshield Zone Intrusion. The agency had 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 had tentatively believed that other vehicle safety standards are in place to prevent the safety concern addressed by FMVSS No. 219. After careful consideration of comments received to the NPRM and the potential safety impact of new entrants to the vehicle fleet, NHTSA has decided to withdraw this deregulatory action.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the language in FMVSS No. 217, S5.3.3.1, to address a petitioner's concerns and to make other minor revisions and clarifications. 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>Passenger Car and Light Truck Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards MYs 2017 and Beyond</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking established Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for light trucks and passenger cars for model years 2017 through 2021 and set augural standards for model year 2022 through 2025 vehicles. This rulemaking responds 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. NHTSA completed this objective, subsequently issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in November, 2011, and a Final Rule on August 28, 2012. The estimated total incremental cost for this program is $154B (2010 dollars), incremental benefits $630B (3% discount rate) and $503B (7% discount rate), and incremental net benefits $476B (3% discount rate) and $356B (7% discount rate).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address petitions for reconsideration the agency received on its final rule (75 FR 15893), published in response to requirements in the Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007 to establish a national tire fuel efficiency consumer information program for replacement tires designed for use on motor vehicles.  On March 30, 2010, NHTSA published a final rule specifying the test procedures to be used to rate the performance of replacement passenger car tires for this new program.  The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) petitioned on behalf of tire manufacturers on various technical aspects of the final rule, including reporting issues, format of data submitted, exempted tires, new ratings information, lead-time, and several items not finalized in the March final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would make technical amendments to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 to update the references to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regulations that are included in the requirements for pressure vessels and explosive devices used in occupant crash protection systems, such as air bags. As a result of various rulemakings that reorganized the relevant regulations, the references contained in FMVSS No. 208 are out of date. This rulemaking would also make a correction to the air bag warning label requirements for vehicle dashboards and steering wheel hubs to make clear that the general warning label requirements for vehicles with air bags are superseded by different, specific requirements if the vehicle is certified to meet certain advanced air bag requirements. This rulemaking does not make any substantive changes to the requirements specified in FMVSS No. 208.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FMVSS No. 213--Expanding the Applicability of the Standard and Incorporating the Hybrid III 10-Year-Old Test Dummy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend FMVSS No. 213 to adopt use of a 10-year-old child dummy to test child restraints for compliance with the standard, and would extend the applicability of the standard to child restraints sold for children weighing up to 80 lb (from 65 lb). Testing NHTSA conducted in developing this rulemaking showed that current child restraints will meet the standard´s requirements when tested with the dummy, so there are no costs associated with this rulemaking. This rulemaking originated in 2005 in response to Anton´s Law, which directed NHTSA to initiate rulemaking on the 10-year-old child dummy.  This action was formerly RIN 2127-AJ44, which was nonsignificant.  NHTSA is obtaining a new RIN because action 2127-AJ44 was considered ?completed? in September 2011 when NHTSA published a final rule on a minor issue related to the rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

This rulemaking would also provide additional lead time for manufacturers to comply with including a marker in the data, called a "data flag," which indicates when inertial sensing systems become saturated (i.e., the signal being measured exceeds the ability of the sensor to register a correct value) and begin clipping data by recording a fixed value below the actual signal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amend Make Inoperative Exemptions, Subpart B--Retrofit On-Off Switch Sunset Extension</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend 49 CFR part 595, Make Inoperative Exemptions, subpart B--Retrofit On-Off Switches for Air Bags, to extend the existing sunset date of September 1, 2012, for three years.  The agency has preliminarily determined that there will be a permanent need for retrofit on-off switches for certain at-risk groups of people.  Given the imminence of the September 1, 2012, sunset date for retrofit air bag switches, it is not possible to complete an NPRM and final rule to remove the sunset date and address other pertinent issues prior to that time. This extension would prevent a potential gap in the regulation and avoid any complications and confusion that could arise if the option for retrofit air bag switches were allowed to sunset and later on have the agency decided to re-adopt the option permanently.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Insurer Reporting Requirements--Calendar Year (CY) 2009 Insurer Reports</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposes to update its lists in Appendices A, B, and C of part 544 of passenger motor vehicle insurers that are required to file reports on their motor vehicle theft loss experience.  Each insurer included in any of these appendices must file a report for the 2009 calendar year no later than October 25, 2012. Further, as long as the insurer remains listed, it must submit reports by each subsequent October 25. The recently enacted Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act repealed authority at 49 U.S.C. 33112. Therefore NHTSA is withdrawing this rulemaking action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Uniform Criteria for State Observational Surveys of Seat Belt Use</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 1, 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a final rule setting forth Uniform Criteria for State Observational Surveys of Seat Belt Use. 76 FR 18042. That final rule amended the regulation establishing uniform criteria for designing and conducting State observational surveys of seat belt use and the procedures for obtaining NHTSA approval of survey designs, and provided a new form for reporting seat belt use rates to NHTSA. At this time, very few States have survey designs that have been approved by NHTSA under the revised uniform criteria. NHTSA does not believe that proposed survey designs will be approved in time for all States to conduct seat belt use surveys during May and June, as is typical practice. For this reason, NHTSA is postponing the compliance date for use of the revised uniform criteria for State Observational Surveys of Seat Belt Use from 2012 to 2013. This amendment would relieve a burden on the States and has no safety impact.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Vehicle/Track Interaction Safety Standards; High-Speed and High Cant Deficiency Operations (RRR)</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.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>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 C.F.R. SS 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 C.F.R. SS 219.102 and 219.103.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The rulemaking would propose a series of unrelated revisions to 49 C.F.R. part 239.  These proposed revisions would: (1) create a definition for emergency response communication centers to ensure that railroad personnel who coordinate first responders receive control center employee training provided by part 239; (2) require railroads develop procedures to promote the safe evacuation of disabled passengers; (3) make the FRA emergency preparedness plan approval process more efficient; and (4) create new testing and inspection requirements for railroads covered by part 239.  These revisions are based on a recommendation made to FRA by the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would respond to petitions for reconsideration of the final rule published on November 30, 2011.  FRA received two petitions for reconsideration of the final rule from railroad industry organizations.  The first petition raised concern with the final rule's cost-benefit analysis and requested several amendments to the final rule to lessen the potential costs.  The second petition discussed the final rule's potential impact on passenger train service/resultant costs and requested an amendment to the final rule to allow passenger trains to travel at higher speeds when passing maintenance of way work zones implicated by the rulemaking.  This Final Rule will make amendments to the original Adjacent-Track On-Track Safety Final Rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

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.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would create a new regulatory framework for FTA´s evaluation and rating of projects seeking funding under the discretionary New Starts and Small Starts programs authorized by 49 U.S.C. 5309.  Specifically, this rulemaking would simplify the measures for assessing the mobility improvements and cost-effectiveness of projects; would place greater emphasis on the environmental benefits of projects and the effects of projects on local economic development; would clarify the criteria for assessing the local financial commitment of project sponsors; would streamline the evaluation process for projects that remain within a certain envelope of cost and scope during the project development process; and would provide a very quick evaluation process for certain types of projects seeking funding under the Small Starts program.]]></ABSTRACT>

Anticipated cost savings:  FTA estimates current overall New and Small Starts annual paperwork burden hours to be approximately 275 hours for each of the estimated 135 respondents totaling 37,070 hours and annual costs totaling $2,780,250.  The proposals in the NPRM and accompanying proposed guidance, if adopted, would modify the time required to prepare and submit an applications.  Thus, FTA estimates burden hours would be approximately 260 hours for each of the estimated 135 respondents totaling 35,070 hours and annual costs totaling $2,630,250.   These and other paperwork requirement trade-offs were an express objective in developing this NPRM.

        <RULE_TITLE>Environmental Impact and Related Procedures (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposes to establish a number of categorical exclusions (CE) from the requirement that an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement be prepared under section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) for FTA-funded actions. The CEs were developed after an extensive effort, and are consistent with Council on Environmental Quality guidance, Executive Order 13571 on "Streamlining Service Delivery and Improving Customer Service," and the Presidential Memorandum on "Speeding Infrastructure Development through More Efficient and Effective Permitting and Environmental Review."  They were developed to identify activities that FTA believes do not have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed CEs covers some of the same actions as existing CEs, but would provide a tool that would expedite the delivery of transit projects without compromising environmental quality. The rulemaking would also make targeted revisions to the joint FTA/FHWA NEPA regulation that would only apply to FTA and would serve to support FTA´s focus on streamlining its environmental process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Capital Project Management </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In September 2011, FTA proposed to transform the current rule for project management oversight into a discrete set of managerial principles for sponsors of major capital projects.  MAP-21 changed the potential universe of "major capital project" by repealing the Fixed Guideway Modernization program and enacting the Core Capacity Improvement and State of Good Repair programs; also, MAP-21 made fundamental changes to the New Starts project development process which will affect FTA risk assessments for major capital projects.  In light of MAP-21, FTA will either withdraw the current NPRM and initiate a new rulemaking at a later date, or issue a supplemental NPRM revisiting the definition of "major capital project" and the agency's practice for risk assessments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations To Be Followed by All Departments, Agencies and Shippers Having Responsibility To Provide a Preference for U.S.-Flag Vessels in the Shipment of Cargoes on Ocean Vessels (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise and clarify the Cargo Preference rules that have not been revised substantially since 1971. Revisions would include an updated purpose and definitions section along with the removal of obsolete provisions. This rulemaking also would establish a new Part 383 to implement the Cargo Preference regulations. This rulemaking would cover Public Law 110-417, section 3511, National Defense Authorization Act for FY2009 changes to the cargo preference rules. The rulemaking also would include compromise, assessment, mitigation, settlement, and collection of civil penalties. Originally the agency had two separate rulemakings in process under RIN 2133-AB74 and 2133-AB75. RIN 2133-AB74 would have revised existing regulations and RIN 2133-AB75 would have established a new part 383: Guidance and Civil Penalties and implement Public Law 110-417, section 3511, National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2009. MARAD has decided it would be more efficient to merge both efforts under one; RIN 2133-AB75 has been merged with this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative Claims,(RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Administrative Claims, part 327 These provisions are extremely out of date and revision would provide clarity and modernize the rule.  Subpart I of part 327 is proposed to be updated to include technical changes, such as  corrections to statutory references, some of which were made obsolete as the result of the codification of the appendix to title 46 of the United States Code.  MARAD also proposes to modernize the regulation by allowing the use of pictures and video recordings as evidence in administrative actions and litigation.  Subpart II would provide that no civil suit can be filed against the United States "until the expiration of the 6-month period after the claim has been presented in writing to the agency owning or operating the vessel causing the injury or damage." Subpart III would provide a means whereby an administrative claim can be filed with respect to any other admiralty matters not addressed in subparts I and II or in the Contracts Disputes Act (41 U.S.C. section 601 et seq.).  This would provide a means to address administrative admiralty claims made by other persons injured aboard vessels and the owners of damaged vessels filing claims.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: Reverse Logistics (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would address changes to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) that are applicable to reverse logistics.  The issue of reverse logistics involves the transportation of hazardous materials that have been damaged or returned from the retailer to a return center.  Specifically, the rulemaking would establish a regulatory definition of "reverse logistics" and outline the responsibilities of those that offer hazardous materials returned by retail customers. PHMSA is currently evaluating comments and establishing a timeline for any future actions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[PHMSA is considering amendments that would enhance safety and revise and clarify the HMR applicable to the transportation of hazardous materials by rail.  This action responds to petitions for rulemaking submitted by the regulated community and NTSB recommendations that are associated with the petitions.  Specifically, these amendments would identify elements of non-conformity that do not require a movement approval from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA); correct an unsafe condition associated with pressure relief valves (PRV) on rail cars transporting carbon dioxide, refrigerated liquid; revise outdated regulations applicable to the repair and maintenance of DOT  Specification 110, DOT Specification 106, and ICC 27 tank car tanks (ton tanks); except ruptured discs from removal if the inspection itself damages, changes, or alters the intended operation of the device; and enhance the standards for DOT Specification 111 tank cars used to transport Packing Group I and II hazardous materials.]]></ABSTRACT>

PHMSA is considering whether changes are needed to the existing 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: Revision of Requirements for Fireworks Approvals (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the HMR by revising and clarifying requirements for the examination, testing, certification, and transportation of certain Division 1.4G consumer fireworks (UN0336 Fireworks).  Further, this rulemaking would establish DOT-approved fireworks certification agencies that will provide an alternative to the approval process for Division 1.4G consumer fireworks.  PHMSA is also proposing to revise procedural regulations pertaining to certification agencies.  These proposed actions, if adopted, will clarify regulations with respect to PHMSA's fireworks approval process and provide regulatory flexibility in seeking authorization for the transportation of Division 1.4G consumer fireworks.   This rulemaking was recently downgraded to nonsignificant and will not appear on next month's report.]]></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  is considering whether or not  require excess flow valves (EFVs) should be required  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. PHMSA is considering 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>

In particular, PHMSA will be reviewing the definition of an HCA (High Consequence Areas) (including the concept of a potential impact radius), the repair criteria for both HCA and non-HCA areas, whether or not  automatic and remote controlled shut off valves should be required, valve spacing, and whether expanding the existing integrity management program requirements to additional areas would mitigate the need for class location requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials:  Miscellaneous Pressure Vessel Requirements (DOT Spec Cylinders) (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise certain requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) applicable to the manufacture, maintenance, and use of DOT specification cylinders.  These revisions clarify certain important safety requirements, incorporate industry consensus standards and, where appropriate, decrease the regulatory burden without compromising the safe transportation of compressed gases in commerce.  This rulemaking responds to eleven petitions for rulemaking, incorporates two special permits into the HMR and addresses the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Recommendation I-93-1.  Among other provisions, PHMSA would provide requirements for the transport of fire suppression systems, clarify cylinder specification and requalification requirements, and adopt new and update current incorporations by reference of industry consensus standards issued by the Compressed Gas Association.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Includes Retrospective Review under E.O. 13563.
HM-234; SB - Y, SLT - N, IC - N; PHMSA anticipates that this rulemaking will generally reduce burdens for most stakeholders and eliminate the need to apply for special permits, as three special permits may be incorporated and lower paperwork burden. Other benefits include simplifying hazard communication requirements, and increased filling density for certain gases leading to potentially fewer vehicle trips. A future rulemaking may result in a decrease in the annual burden and costs under certain OMB Control Numbers.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: Incorporation of Certain Special Permits and Competent Authorities Into the HMR (RRR) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to incorporate provisions contained in certain widely used or longstanding special permits and competent authorities that have established safety records.  Incorporating such provisions into the HMR is intended to provide wider access to the regulatory flexibility offered in the special permits and competent authorities  The adoption of the provisions would eliminate the need for numerous application and renewal requests.  The special permits proposed to be added to the regulations here would allow the transportation of ´Self-heating´ solid, organic n.o.s. (spent bleaching earth) in sift-proof bulk packaging; would allow the use of regulated medical waste shipping names and markings that differ from those prescribed in the HMR; would allow for the transportation of Class 9 solid coal pitch compounds in non-specification open top or closed-top sift-proof metal cans or fiber drums; and would allow for the transportation of self-inflating life-saving appliances that contain non-specification steel cylinders when being transported between a vessel and an authorized facility for servicing. This rulemaking action would facilitate commerce activity and reduce paperwork burdens while maintaining an appropriate level of safety.  Incorporation of these provisions would reduce the compliance burden and cost on both industry and government.]]></ABSTRACT>

The use of voluntary consensus standards allows pipeline operators to use the most current industry technologies, materials, and management practices available in today´s market. It also would make non-substantive edits and clarify regulatory language in certain provisions. These amendments to the pipeline safety regulations would not require pipeline operators to undertake any significant new pipeline safety initiatives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) by establishing standards for the safe transportation of bulk explosives.  This rulemaking would be responsive to two petitions for rulemaking submitted by industry representatives, requesting this action.  Developing requirements for the HMR would provide wider access to the regulatory flexibility currently only offered by special permit and competent authorities.  The HMR would authorize the transportation of certain explosives, ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate emulsions, and other specific hazardous materials in bulk packagings, which are not otherwise authorized under the HMR.  These hazardous materials are used in blasting operations on specialized vehicles, multi-purpose bulk trucks (MBTs).  MBTs are used as mobile work platforms to create blends of explosives that are unique for each blast site.  This rulemaking was recently upgraded to significant.]]></ABSTRACT>

Periodic assessment of the condition of gas transmission pipelines is required by 49 CFR sections 192.921, and 192.937.  Periodic assessment of hazardous liquid pipelines is required by section 195.452.  These sections allow use of the inspection techniques addressed in these standards.  The regulations provide minimal requirements for the use of these techniques.  Incorporation of the consensus standards would assure better consistency, accuracy and quality in pipeline assessments conducted using these techniques]]></ABSTRACT>

This rule would change mapping data accuracy standards and collect additional data elements such as pipeline diameter, MAOP, SMYS, "smart piggability", type/location of blocking valves, coating of pipe, etc.  This information would provide a more complete and accurate picture of facilities.  This information would also strengthen PHMSA´s ability to fulfill its mission goals of safety, environmental stewardship, reliability, and effective emergency response.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Includes Retrospective Review under E.O. 13563.
HM-254; SB - Y, IC - Y, SLT - N; This rulemaking may result in a decrease of $18,000.00 in the annual burden and costs under OMB Control Number 2137-0051 due to proposed changes to incorporate provisions contained in certain widely-used or longstanding special permits that have an established safety record. This rulemaking should result in an overall decrease of $11,385.00 in the annual burden and cost to OMB Control Number 2137-0557 due to the larger cost savings of reducing the number of approvals required by testers of air bags and air bag modules. This rulemaking may result in a decrease of $5,706.60 in the annual burden and cost to OMB Control No. 2137-0034 due to shippers no longer being required to put the EX numbers on shipping papers for air bag modules.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would update and clarify existing requirements by incorporating changes into the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) based on PHMSA´s own initiatives through an extensive review of the HMR and previously issued letters of interpretation.  Specifically, among other provisions, PHMSA would provide for the continued use of approvals until final administrative action is taken, when a correct and completed application for approval renewal was received 60 days prior to expiration date; update various entries in the hazardous materials table and the corresponding special provisions; clarify the lab pack requirements for temperature controlled materials; correct an error in the HMR with regard to the inspection of cargo tank motor vehicles containing corrosive materials; and revise the training requirements to require that hazardous materials employers ensure their hazardous materials employee training records are available upon request to an authorized official of the Department of Transportation or the Department of Homeland Security.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With International Standards (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal hazardous materials transportation law requires the Secretary of Transportation to ensure that, to the extent practicable, regulations governing the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce are consistent with standards adopted by international authorities (49 U.S.C. 5120(b)). Harmonization enhances safety, facilitates compliance and improves the efficiency of the global transportation system by minimizing the regulatory burden on the public thus promoting trade.  After a thorough review of the provisions recently adopted by various international regulatory bodies, PHMSA has identified areas in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) in which harmonization with international regulations will provide an enhanced level of safety, an economic benefit or in many instances both safety and economic benefits.   As a result, this rulemaking would amend the HMR, where appropriate, to maintain alignment with international standards that will become effective as of January 1, 2013 and consequently facilitate the safe global trade of hazardous materials.  Proposals in this rulemaking include, but are not limited to; the introduction of regulatory requirements to address chemicals under pressure, the modification of packaging instructions for various hazardous materials to permit greater flexibility in package selection while achieving a consistent level of safety, the adoption of Internationally recognized standards for testing and proper use of flexible bulk containers and the revision of various entries in the hazardous materials table to maintain global alignment including revision of vessel stowage codes for shipments of Class 1 Explosive materials.  We expect the regulatory changes will result in minimal compliance costs for the regulated industry; we firmly believe consistent regulatory requirements reduce compliance costs and increase flexibility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>Includes Retrospective Review under E.O. 13563.
HM-215L; SB - N, SLT - N, IC - Y; The primary benefit of this rulemaking is harmonizing the HMR with the international hazardous materials standards and reducing the regulatory compliance costs faced by U.S. companies.  PHMSA estimates that not harmonizing with international regulations will cost U.S. companies an additional $62 million per year to comply with both the HMR and international standards. This rulemaking may result in a decrease of $5,000.00 to OMB Control Number 2137-0018 due allowing the use of metals other than steel or aluminum for drums and boxes, as well as the proposed new Flexible Bulk Container package authorization. This rulemaking may result in a decrease of $15,000.00 to OMB Control Number 2137-0572 due to decreased testing requirements for non-bulk packages.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The "Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011" created a number of regulatory mandates, some of which directly implicate the pipeline enforcement and regulatory procedures outlined in 49 CFR part 190.  This rulemaking would comply with statutory mandates related to part 190 through amendment.  Specifically, this rule would update and clarify the purpose of part 190, clarify certain enforcement issues including but not limited to procedures for hearings, special permit condition violations, incorporation of new civil penalties, and procedures for adoption of rules. This rule would also include certain amendments that conform current regulatory language to actual practice or correct errors and omissions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials:  Temporary Reduction of Registration Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would amend the HMR requirements associated with the statutorily-mandated registration and fee assessment program for persons who transport, or offer for transportation, certain categories and quantities of hazardous materials.  For all registrants PHMSA would be providing a temporary one-year decrease in the fees for registration year 2013-2014. This rulemaking is necessary to address the unexpended funds from the 2011-2012 registration year and fund the national Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) grants program at approximately $28,000,000.  Following the 2013-2014 registration period, the fees for all registrants will return to the current 2012-2013 fee levels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would consider the transportation of combustible liquids and whether the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) should harmonize domestic regulations with international standards. Additionally, it would examine ways to revise, clarify, or relax certain regulatory requirements to facilitate the transportation of combustible liquids while maintaining an adequate level of safety. However, after a thorough review of the issues, PHMSA has decided to withdraw this rulemaking action because the benefits of each option considered did not outweigh the costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: Incorporation of Certain Rail Special Permits Into the Hazardous Materials Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would incorporate provisions contained in certain widely used or longstanding special permits for transporting hazardous materials by railroad that have an established safety record.  Special permits allow a company or individual to package or ship a hazardous material in a manner that varies from the Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR parts 171-180) 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agency has decided to terminate this rulemaking action pending further research regarding alternative approaches. This rulemaking would have amended requirements in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) that apply to cargo shipments of lithium batteries and cells by aircraft (none of the proposed changes would have applied to the checked or carry-on baggage of a passenger or crewmember).  The revisions would have applied to shipments of lithium cells and batteries (but not to lithium batteries packed with or contained in equipment) and would have: (1) extended the current prohibition of lithium metal cells and batteries from passenger carrying aircraft to cargo-only aircraft; (2) prohibited the transport of lithium ion cells and batteries as cargo aboard passenger-carrying aircraft; (3) imposed a restriction on the location(s) on a cargo-only aircraft where lithium cells and batteries could be transported.  One additional change would have reduced the aircraft quantity limits for lithium cells and batteries packed with or contained in equipment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Benefit Payments Under Certain District of Columbia Retirement Plans--General Rules, Claims, and Debt Collection </RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

The rule establishes 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 requires 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, requires the financial institution to ensure that the account holder has access to a designated "protected amount" of funds in the account.]]></ABSTRACT>

The 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 rule will 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury is issuing a rule to implement section 155 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which directs the Department to establish by regulation an assessment schedule for bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or greater and nonbank financial companies supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (the Board) to collect assessments equal to the total expenses of the Office of Financial Research (OFR or the Office).  Included in the Office's expenses are expenses of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC or the Council), as provided under section 118 of the Dodd-Frank Act, and certain obligations expenses of the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC), as provided under section 210 of the Dodd-Frank Act.  The rule outlines the key elements of Treasury's assessment program, which collects semiannual assessment fees from these institutions.]]></ABSTRACT>

Benefits for service after that date are funded by the District of Columbia.  The amended regulations establish the methodology for determining the split between the Federal and District benefit payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This notice is published jointly by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Departmental Offices of the Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") (collectively, the "Agencies") and proposes rules to implement applicable provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act").  In accordance with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, the proposed rules govern the calculation of the maximum obligation limitation ("MOL"), as specified in section 210(n)(6) of the Dodd-Frank Act.  The MOL limits the aggregate amount of outstanding obligations that the FDIC may issue or incur in connection with the orderly liquidation of a covered financial company.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Bank Secrecy Act Regulations--Definition of &quot;Monetary Instruments&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Although the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act of 2009 (CARD Act), section 503, required the issuance of "regulations in final form implementing the Bank Secrecy Act, regarding the sale, issuance, redemption, or international transport of stored value, including stored value cards" by February 2010, we interpret the disjunctive "or" to allow for a phased approach.  

The CARD Act authorizes "regulations regarding international transport," of prepaid access devices, including "reporting requirements pursuant to Section 5316 of title 31, United States Code."  Pursuant to this authority, FinCEN is proposing to amend the regulations issued under 31 U.S.C. 5316, namely the definition of "monetary instrument" at 31 CFR 1010.100(dd) and the international transport of currency and monetary instrument reporting requirement at 31 CFR 1010.340, to include tangible prepaid access devices.  The current regulations require that a form be filed reporting the international transportation, mail, or shipment of currency or other monetary instruments in an aggregate amount that exceeds $10,000.  

The term "monetary instrument" is defined in the BSA to include currency and a variety of bearer negotiable instruments, securities, and similar items, but does not specifically include any types of prepaid access devices.  Nevertheless, FinCEN has regulatory authority to expand the definition of monetary instruments to include items deemed to be "similar materials" to coins and currency of a foreign country, travelers' checks, bearer negotiable instruments, bearer investment securities, bearer securities, and stock on which title is passed on delivery.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FinCEN is issuing this final rule to amend the Bank Secrecy Act regulation that allows depository institutions to exempt transactions of certain payroll customers from the requirement to report transactions in currency in excess of $10,000.  The rule substitutes the term "frequently" for "regularly" in the provision of the exemption rules dealing with payroll customers.  Modification of the exemption procedures is a part of the Department of the Treasury's continuing effort to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing policies.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rule establishes the procedures Federal agencies must follow before publishing information about delinquent debtors and the standards for determining when use of this debt collection remedy is appropriate.]]></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 hss proposed 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 also proposed 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>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Distilled Spirits Plant Operations Reports and Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[TTB proposes to replace the current four report forms used by distilled spirits plants to report their operations on a monthly basis with two new report forms that would be submitted on a monthly basis (plants that qualify to file taxes on a quarterly basis would submit the new reports on a quarterly basis).  This proposal will address numerous concerns for improved reporting by the affected distilled spirits industry and will result in savings to the industry and the Bureau by significantly reducing the number of monthly plant operations reports that must be completed and filed by industry members and processed by TTB.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Standards of Identity for Pisco and Cognac</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this notice, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) proposed to amend its regulations setting forth the standards of identity for distilled spirits to include Pisco as a type of brandy that must be manufactured in accordance with the laws and regulations of either Peru or Chile governing the manufacture of these products.  This change will clarify the TTB distilled spirits regulations to better reflect the provisions of the United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement and the United States-Chile Free Trade Agreement.  This notice also includes a technical correction to remove "Cognac" and "Pisco brandy" from the list of examples of geographic designations in the distilled spirits standards of identity.  Both of these changes will provide greater clarity in distilled spirits labeling.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to the Finished Products Records Regulations for Distilled Spirits Plants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this direct final rule, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) will remove the burdensome requirement that requires all distilled spirits plant proprietors to maintain a daily summary and daily records as to the kind of distilled spirits that they bottle or package.  The distilled spirits industry has had difficulties complying with this requirement, located at 27 CFR 19.601.  This requirement is costly and time consuming for industry, is not useful to industry, and TTB has received correspondence asking that the Bureau do away with it.  Therefore, TTB has decided to remove the new requirement in 27 CFR 19.601.]]></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>Establishment of the Freestone-Occidental Viticultural Area</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed Freestone-Occidental viticultural area encompasses 15,971 acres, 478 acres of which are used for commercial viticulture in 10 vineyards.  It lies entirely within the Sonoma Coast viticultural area (27 CFR 9.116), which in turn is completely within the multicounty North Coast viticultural area (27 CFR 9.30).  Approximately 2,100 acres of the proposed Freestone-Occidental viticultural area overlaps small portions of the Russian River Valley viticultural area (27 CFR 9.66) and the Northern Sonoma viticultural area (27 CFR 9.70).  The petition justifies the overlaps with significant evidence and documentation of the unique and distinguishing features of the proposed Freestone-Occidental viticultural area.  Also, the area is an established coastal grape-growing region in northern California.  The distinguishing features of the proposed Freestone-Occidental viticultural area include climate, geographical location, and, to a lesser extent, soils.  The unique marine climate of the proposed viticultural area is a particularly important influence on the area and on viticulture.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment to implement the trade benefits for Caribbean Basin countries contained in section 213(b) of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (the CBERA). Amendments involve the textile and apparel provisions of section 213(b) and in part reflect changes made to those statutory provisions by section 3107 of the Trade Act of 2002. The specific statutory changes involve the amendment of several provisions to clarify the status of apparel articles assembled from knit-to-shape components; the addition of language requiring any dyeing, printing, and finishing of certain fabrics to be done in the United States; the inclusion of exception language in the brassieres provision regarding articles entered under other CBERA apparel provisions; the addition of a provision permitting the dyeing, printing, and finishing of thread in the Caribbean region; and the addition of a new provision to cover additional production scenarios involving the United States and the Caribbean region.]]></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>Members of a Family for Purposes of Filing a CBP Family Declaration</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations pertaining to the eligibility for filing a single customs declaration for members of a family traveling together upon arrival in the United States.  Specifically, CBP is broadening the definition of the term "members of a family residing in one household" for filing a family customs declaration to more accurately reflect relationships between members of the public who are traveling together as a family.  This amendment could also help to facilitate passenger processing by reducing the amount of paperwork for CBP officers and allowing more travelers to benefit from the family grouping of exemptions for articles acquired abroad.]]></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>

In addition to restating pertinent provisions of the Rough Diamond Control Regulations, the proposed amendments would require U.S. importers of shipments of rough diamonds to retain for a period of at least five years a copy of the Kimberley Process Certificate that currently must accompany such shipments and to make the copy available for inspection when requested by CBP.]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendments would allow CBP, in accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act, subject to limitations, to disclose to an intellectual property right holder information appearing on merchandise or its retail packaging that may comprise information otherwise protected by the Trade Secrets Act, for the purpose of assisting CBP in determining whether the merchandise bears a counterfeit mark. Such information would be provided to the right holder in the form of photographs or a sample of the goods and/or their retail packaging in their condition as presented to CBP for examination and alphanumeric codes appearing on the goods (including serial numbers, universal product codes, and stock keeping unit (SKU) numbers).  These changes would provide a pre-seizure procedure for disclosing information about imported merchandise suspected of bearing a counterfeit mark for the limited purpose of obtaining the right holder's assistance in determining whether or not the mark is counterfeit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments to the Customs and Border Protection Regulations to implement provisions of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, which authorizes the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection to assess a harbor maintenance fee of 0.125 percent (.00125) on the value of commercial cargo loaded on or unloaded from a commercial vessel at a port unless specifically exempted from the fee. Proceeds of the fee are deposited in a trust fund for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to use for the improvement and maintenance of U.S. ports and harbors.]]></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>

        <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>Duty-Free Treatment Of Certain Visual And Auditory Materials </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend regulations in title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR) pertaining to the filing of documentation related to free entry of certain merchandise under Chapter 98 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).   The proposed amendment would permit an applicant to file the documentation required for duty-free treatment of certain visual and auditory materials of an educational, scientific, or cultural character under subheading 9817.00.40, HTSUS, at any time prior to the liquidation of the entry.  The regulations currently require the filing of this documentation within 90 days of the date of entry.  The proposed changes serve to align the filing of required certification documentation with a change in U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) policy that extended the liquidation cycle for entries in the ordinary course of business from 90 days to 314 days after the date of entry.  The change is consistent with other regulations that govern the duty-free treatment of merchandise under Chapter 98, HTSUS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect the extension of import restrictions on certain archaeological and ethnological material from Peru. The restrictions, which were originally imposed by Treasury Decision (T.D.) 97-50 and last extended by CBP Dec. 07-27, are due to expire on June 9, 2012 unless extended.

Accordingly, the restrictions will remain in effect for an additional five years, and the CBP regulations are being amended to indicate this third extension.  These restrictions are being extended pursuant to determinations of the United States Department of State made under the terms of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act in accordance with the 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.

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Import Restrictions on Archaeological Objects and Ecclesiastical and Ritual Ethnologicial Materials From Cyprus
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect the extension of import restrictions on Pre-Classical and Classical archaeological objects and Byzantine ecclesiastical and ritual ethnological materials from Cyprus.  These restrictions, which were last extended by CBP Dec. 07-52, are due to expire on July 16, 2012.  The Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, has determined that conditions continue to warrant the imposition of import restrictions on the designated cultural property described in CBP Dec. 07-52.  Also, the Assistant Secretary has approved an amendment to the bilateral Agreement between the Republic of Cyprus and the United States to extend the period covering the ethnological materials specified in the Agreement from the end of the 15th Century A.D. to 1850 A.D (the Post-Byzantine Period).  The Designated List of covered archaeological and ethnological materials has been so revised and is published in this document.  The import restrictions imposed on the archaeological and ethnological materials covered under the Agreement will remain in effect for a 5-year period, and the CBP regulations are being amended accordingly.  These restrictions are being extended pursuant to determinations of the State Department under the terms of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act in accordance with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Extension of Import Restrictions on Archaeological and Ethnological Materials From Guatemala</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect the extension of import restrictions on certain archaeological materials from Guatemala.  These restrictions, which were last extended by CBP Dec. 07-79, are due to expire on September 29, 2012, unless extended.  The Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, has determined to extend the bilateral Agreement between the Republic of Guatemala and the United States to continue the imposition of import restrictions on cultural property from Guatemala.  The Designated List of cultural property described in Treasury Decision (T.D.) 97-81 is revised in this document to reflect that certain ethnological materials are now covered under the Agreement.  The complete revised list is published in this document.  The import restrictions imposed on the archaeological and ethnological materials covered under the Agreement will remain in effect for a 5-year period, and the CBP regulations are being amended accordingly.  These restrictions are being extended pursuant to determinations of the State Department under the terms of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act in accordance with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Government Securities Act Regulations; Replacement of References to Credit Ratings and Technical Amendments </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of the Treasury is issuing this rule to solicit public comment on an amendment to the regulations issued under the Government Securities Act of 1986, as amended ("GSA"), to replace references to credit ratings in our rules with alternative requirements.  Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 requires Federal agencies to remove from their applicable regulations any reference to or requirement of reliance on credit ratings and to substitute a standard of creditworthiness as the agency determines appropriate for such regulations.  In this release Treasury is requesting comment on a substitute standard of creditworthiness for use in the liquid capital rule required by GSA regulations. Separately, we are proposing in this release several non-substantive, technical amendments to Treasury's GSA regulations to update certain information or to delete certain requirements that are no longer applicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Partial Payments on Offers in Compromise</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed regulations would amend existing regulations regarding the submission of offers in compromise to reflect changes to the law made by section 509 of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005. The regulations would require persons proposing to settle their tax liabilities for payments of less than the total amount determined and assessed to make partial payments when submitting their offer to compromise and while the offer is under consideration. The regulations would waive the partial payment requirement under specific conditions.

The proposed regulations would also clarify when an offer in compromise is deemed accepted if the IRS has not taken action with respect to the offer within 2 years of the offer being submitted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The amendments to Treasury Regulation 301.6611-1 Interest on Overpayments will explain the dates interest starts to accrue on refunds of overpayments claimed by certain tax-exempt persons who do not have an obligation to file tax returns. The amendments address tax-exempt persons, corporations exempt from filing income tax returns pursuant to the section 6012 regulations, and persons whose income is excludible from gross income. The amendments will clarify the Service's position on the decisions in Overseas Thread Industries, Ltd. v. United States, 48 Cl. Ct. 221 (2000) and MNOPF Trustees, Ltd. v. United States, 123 F. 3d 1460 (Fed. Cir. 1997), and State of Michigan v. United States, 141 F. 3d 662 (6th Cir. 1998).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

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

        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations concern the annual filing of information returns for organizations that have established tax-exempt status under a group exemption letter.  The regulations relate to section 6033 of the Internal Revenue Code and permit the Commissioner to prescribe in published  guidance additional eligibility criteria for a local or subordinate organization to be included in a group return.  If a local or subordinate organization does not meet the additional eligibility criteria, it will be required to file a separate annual information return.  All tax-exempt local or subordinate organizations that are currently included in a group return pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.6033-2(d) are affected by the regulation.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Failure to File Gain Recognition Agreements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This amendment to the regulations under Treasury Regulation section 1.367(a)-8 is a change to the existing rules governing the consequences of failures to file gain recognition agreements (GRAs), or other reporting obligations related to an existing GRA.  Currently, a taxpayer who does not file a GRA with its timely filed tax return for the year of the transfer, or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of the GRA regulations, must recognize the full gain on the transferred stock, unless the failure to comply was due to reasonable cause.  Taxpayers must meet a high standard to qualify for reasonable-cause relief.  In many cases, the penalty seems disproportionate to the offense, with the result that reasonable-cause determinations often entail lengthy and protracted disputes between taxpayers and the Service.  These proposed regulations would change the standard that the taxpayer must satisfy to receive relief from the penalty of full gain recognition from reasonable cause to willful failure to file, which should result in an incentive to file, but will not result in the taxpayer recognizing full gain in most situations.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed regulations provide guidance to married individuals on the ability to transfer or "port" the DSUE amount of the first spouse to die to and for the benefit of the surviving spouse in determining the surviving spouse's unified credit amount.  The proposed regulations also provide guidance to a surviving spouse on the application of the DSUE amount to lifetime transfers and transfers taking effect at death.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed regulations provide guidance for regulated investment companies (RICs) as to whether an investment in a derivative financial instrument may produce qualifying income for a RIC under section 851(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.  These proposed regulations provide that, in the absence of authoritative guidance issued under the securities laws, or to the extent consistent with such guidance, if issued, a financial instrument meeting the definition of a "qualified derivative" set forth in these regulations is treated as a security under the 1940 Act for purposes of section 851(b)(2).  Income and gain derived by a RIC from a qualified derivative will be treated as qualifying RIC income and gain from a 1940 Act security for purposes of section 851(b)(2).  These proposed regulations provide needed guidance to RICs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The income tax regulations under section 367(a) will be amended to reflect the changes made to that section by the Technical and Miscellaneous Corrections Act of 1988. Section 367(a)(5) now provides that a transfer of assets to a foreign corporation in an exchange described in section 361 is subject to section 367(a)(1), unless certain ownership requirements and other conditions are met. The regulations will provide guidance regarding the application of this section. The change in the statute was necessitated by the repeal of "General Utilities."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed regulations allow a merchant/payee to opt out of the Qualified Payment Card Agent (QPCA) program by giving notice to a QPCA. However, the QPCA would be required to inform the cardholder that the payee is not a participant in the QPCA program and is not a qualified payee. In addition, the QPCA must advise the cardholder/payor of the cardholder/payor's obligation to solicit the TIN of a nonparticipating merchant/payee to which it makes a reportable payment. The proposed regulations also provide that QPCA may furnish the required notifications electronically, including by posting on a secure website.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations will create a new section 1.147(f)-1 under section 1.147(f) of the Code relating to the public approval requirement applicable to private activity bonds. Since the temporary regulations under section 103(k) of the 1954 Code relating to the public approval requirement applicable to industrial development bonds (not to qualified mortgage bonds, qualified student loan bonds, and qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) were published, several questions have arisen regarding the proper application of the public approval requirement under certain types of tax-exempt bond financings.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <RULE_TITLE>Guidance Regarding Deferred Discharge of Indebtedness Income of Corporations and Deferred Original Issue Discount Deductions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 17, 2009, as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act of 2009, Congress enacted section 108(i).  Section 108(i)  provides an election for deferral of discharge of indebtedness income (deferred COD income) arising in connection with a reacquisition of an applicable debt instrument in 2009 and 2010. The deferred COD income generally is includible in gross income ratably over a 5-taxable-year period, beginning with the taxpayer's fourth or fifth taxable year following the taxable year of the reacquisition. Section 108(i)(5)(D) requires a taxpayer to accelerate the inclusion of any remaining deferred items of COD income following a valid section 108(i) election in certain circumstances. Regulations under section 108(i) provide guidance to C corporations regarding the accelerated inclusion of deferred discharge of indebtedness and the calculation of earnings and profits of a corporation as a result of a section 108(i) election. In addition, these regulations provide rules applicable to all taxpayers regarding deferred OID 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These temporary regulations relate to the portability of the deceased spousal unused exclusion (DSUE) amount as enacted by section 303 of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, Public Law 111-312 (124 Stat. 3296, 3302 (1997)). The temporary regulations provide guidance to married individuals on the ability to transfer or "port" the DSUE amount of the first spouse to die to and for the benefit of the surviving spouse in determining the surviving spouse's unified credit amount. The temporary regulations also provide guidance to a surviving spouse on the application of the DSUE amount to lifetime transfers and transfers taking effect at death.]]></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>

Under the Act, diesel fuel and kerosene that are to be used in a nontaxable use must be indelibly dyed by use of a mechanical dye injection system that satisfies the requirements set forth in the regulations. The purpose of the regulations is to establish standards for tamper-resistant mechanical injector dyeing that are reasonable, cost-effective, and set levels of security commensurate with the applicable facility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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.  

In Announcement 2011-21, the Service stated that the form to replace Schedule SSA is Form 8955-SSA, Annual Registration Statement Identifying Separated Participants With Deferred Vested Benefits. This is a stand-alone form and will be used for plan years beginning after December 31, 2008. The regulations would provide guidance on satisfying the reporting requirements of section 6057 for plan years beginning after December 31, 2008.]]></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>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would implement section 616(d) of Dodd Frank.  Section 616(d) requires that bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies, and companies that directly or indirectly control an insurance depository institution serve as a source of strength for the insured depository institution. The appropriate federal banking agency for the insured depository institution may require that the company submit a report that would assess the company's ability to comply with the provisions of the statute and its compliance.  The OCC, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve are required jointly to issue regulation to implement these requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Strengthening Tier 1 Capital Other Capital Enhancements, Standardized Approach (Basel III)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The agencies issued three NPRMs that would revise and replace their current capital rules and other OCC rules.  The first would revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in Basel III:  A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems (Basel III).  The rule includes implementation of a new common equity tier 1 minimum capital requirement, a higher minimum tier 1 capital requirement, and, for banking organizations subject to the advanced approaches capital rules, a supplementary leverage ratio that incorporates a broader set of exposures in the denominator measure.  The rule applies limits on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments, and establishes more conservative standards for including an instrument in regulatory capital.  The OCC is also proposing to amend its capital rules and Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) Rules with respect to national banks to make those rules applicable to Federal savings associations; to rescind the current capital rules and PCA Rules applicable to Federal savings associations, with the exception of 12 CFR 165.8.

The second would amend their general risk-based capital requirements for calculating the denominator of a banking organization's risk-based capital ratios (Standardized Approach).  The revisions would revise and harmonize the agencies' rules for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk-sensitivity and address weaknesses identified over recent years, including by incorporating certain BCBS international capital standards.  The agencies are proposing alternatives to credit ratings for calculating risk-weighted assets for certain assets and setting forth methodologies for determining risk-weighted assets for residential mortgages, securitization exposures, and counterparty credit risk.  Disclosures are introduced that would apply to top-tier banking organizations domiciled in the U.S. with $50 billion or more in total assets.

The third would revise the advanced approaches risk-based capital rule to incorporate certain aspects of Basel III that would be applied only to advanced approach banking organizations.  The revisions include replacing references to credit ratings with alternative standards of creditworthiness.  The OCC is proposing that the market risk capital rule be applicable to federal savings associations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 610 of the Dodd-Frank Act amends the lending limits statute, 12 U.S.C. 84, to apply it to any credit exposure to a person arising from a derivative transaction and certain other transactions between the bank and the person.  12 U.S.C. 1464(u)(1)applies this lending limit to savings associations.  The amendment was effective 1 year after the transfer date, July 21, 2012.  On June 21, 2012, the OCC issued an interim final rule that implements section 610.  This interim final rule also integrates savings associations into part 32.  The OCC plans to issue a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board, Bureau, FDIC, FHFA, NCUA, and OCC (collectively, the Agencies) are proposing to amend Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and the official interpretation to the regulation. The proposed revisions to Regulation Z would implement a new TILA provision requiring appraisals for "higher-risk mortgages" that was added to TILA as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. For mortgages with an annual percentage rate that exceeds the average prime offer rate by a specified percentage, the proposed rule would require creditors to obtain an appraisal or appraisals meeting certain specified standards, provide applicants with a notification regarding the use of the appraisals, and give applicants a copy of the written appraisals used.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Community Reinvestment Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, FRB, and the FDIC have amended their Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations at the end of the calendar year to adjust the asset-size thresholds used to define "small bank" or "small savings association" and "intermediate small bank" or "intermediate small savings association." These adjustments to the threshold amount are based on the change in the average Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, not seasonally adjusted, for the twelve-month period ending in November, with rounding to the nearest million.
 
In 2013, the Agencies plan to make a technical, non-substantive change by amending their CRA regulations to remove the dollar amounts of these thresholds and provide that, the inflation-adjusted thresholds, using the same methodology as noted above, will be made publicly available prior to the end of each calendar year.]]></ABSTRACT>

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

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agencies are requesting comment on a proposed rule to implement the requirements of section 941(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act, or Dodd-Frank Act), which is codified as new section 15G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act).  Section 15G of the Exchange Act, as added by section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Act, generally requires the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) (collectively, referred to as the Federal banking agencies), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission), and, in the case of the securitization of any "residential mortgage asset," together with the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) (collectively, the Federal banking agencies, the Commission, HUD, and FHFA are referred to as the Agencies), to jointly prescribe regulations that, subject to certain exemptions, (i) require a securitizer to retain not less than 5 percent of the credit risk of any asset that the securitizer, through the issuance of an asset-backed security, transfers, sells, or conveys to a third party, and (ii) prohibit a securitizer from directly or indirectly hedging or otherwise transferring the credit risk that the securitizer is required to retain under section 15G and the Agencies' implementing rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OCC, FRB, FDIC, FHFA, and FCA issued an NPRM to implement section 4s(e) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as added by section 731 of the Dodd-Frank Act, and section 15F(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as added by section 764 of the Dodd-Frank Act.  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 agency's supervision.  These rules address 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>Alternatives to the Use of External Credit Ratings in the Regulations of the OCC</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act directs all Federal agencies to review, no later than 1 year from enactment, any regulation that requires the use of an assessment of credit-worthiness of a security or money market instrument and any references to or requirements in regulations regarding credit ratings.  The agencies are also required to remove references or requirements of reliance on credit ratings and to substitute an alternative standard of credit-worthiness.  The OCC issued a final rule to implement the statute with respect to its regulations (other than risk-based capital regulations, which will be addressed separately), including alternative measures of credit-worthiness that may be used in lieu of credit ratings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Republication of Regulations in Connection With Office of Thrift Supervision Integration Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to title III of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, all functions of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) relating to Federal savings associations and the rulemaking authority of the OTS relating to all savings associations are transferred to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on July 21, 2011 (transfer date).  In order to facilitate the OCC's enforcement and administration of former OTS rules and to make appropriate changes to these rules to reflect OCC supervision of Federal savings associations as of the transfer date, the OCC republished, with nomenclature and other technical changes, the OTS regulations currently found in chapter V of title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations.  The republished regulations are recodified with the OCC's regulations in chapter I at section 100 et seq. (Republished Regulations), effective upon publication.  The Republished Regulations supersede the OTS regulations in chapter V for purposes of OCC supervision and regulation of Federal savings associations, and certain of the Republished Rules will supersede the OTS regulations in chapter V for purposes of the FDIC's supervision of State savings associations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interim Rule for the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CDFI Bond Guarantee Program was established through the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, passed by Congress and signed into law by the President on September 27, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-240).  Sections 1134 and 1703 of the Small Business Jobs Act provide authority to the Secretary of the Department of the Treasury to establish and administer the program.  This program will be established and administered by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), an office within the U.S. Department of the Treasury.  Section 114A authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to guarantee the full amount of notes or bonds, including the principal, interest, and call premiums not to exceed 30 years, issued by CDFIs to finance loans for eligible community or economic development purposes.  The bonds or notes will support CDFI lending and investment by providing a source of long-term, patient capital to CDFIs.  In accordance with Federal credit policy, the Federal Financing Bank (FFB) will purchase the bonds or notes to be issued by CDFIs under the program.  The interim rule creates the requirements and parameters for program implementation and administration including, among others, applicant eligibility, application requirements, application review, selection criteria, guarantee/loan agreements, eligible uses of bond proceeds, reporting obligations, and compliance monitoring.]]></ABSTRACT>

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[Since 2004, the Department of Veterans Affairs (V) has published 20 Notices of Proposed Rulemaking to reorganize and rewrite its compensation and pension regulations in a logical, claimant-focused, and user-friendly format.  The intended effect of the proposed revisions was to assist claimants, beneficiaries, and VA personnel in locating and understanding these regulations.  Several veterans service organizations have requested that VA republish all these regulations together to allow the public another opportunity to comment.  This proposed rule would provide that opportunity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its compensation and pension adjudication regulations to expressly allow for electronic communication between claimants and VA.   In order to improve its service delivery to veterans, VA is transitioning from a paper-based to an electronic claims processing system.  As VA transitions towards this electronic system, VA proposes these amendments to expressly permit certain electronic transmissions throughout the claims adjudication process.  These amendments would provide for submission of electronic signatures, writings, and evidence to VA, as well as transmission of certain VA notices through electronic means.  These proposed amendments are authorized by various federal laws, which encourage federal agencies to utilize electronic technologies to improve their services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations governing Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI), Family SGLI, SGLI Traumatic Injury Protection, and Veterans' Group Life Insurance (all hereafter referred to as SGLI) to clarify and acknowledge what is implicit in the law that VA, which has the responsibility under the law to administer the SGLI programs, also has the right to full access of the insurer's records related to the operation and administration of the SGLI programs necessary to protect the legal and financial rights of the Government and of the persons affected by the activities of the agency and its agents.  VA's access to the records of the insurer is also required due to VA's role of ensuring that the SGLI programs are managed in an effective and efficient manner.  This proposed rule would provide clarity and assurance that there are no barriers or questions regarding the extent of VA's unfettered access to records maintained by the insurer, reinsurers, and the successors of both related to the SGLI policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed amendments would update and reorganize regulations consistent with current law, VA policies and procedures, and VA's reorganization of its fiduciary activities.  They would also clarify the rights of beneficiaries in the program, and the roles of VA and fiduciaries in ensuring that VA benefits are managed in the best interest of beneficiaries and their dependents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposes to amend the medical regulations of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to allow VA to use Medicare or State procedures to enter into provider agreements to obtain extended care services from non-VA providers.  In addition, this rulemaking proposes to include home health care, palliative care, and noninstitutional hospice care services as extended care services, when provided as an alternative to nursing home care.  Under this proposed rule, VA would be able to obtain extended care services for veterans from providers who are closer to veterans' homes and communities.  The proposed rule would also make a technical revision to exempt hospice care from a required copayment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Criteria for a Catastrophically Disabled Determination for Purposes of Enrollment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulation concerning the manner in which VA determines that a veteran is catastrophically disabled for purposes of enrollment in priority group four.  The current regulation relies on specific codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®).  We propose instead to describe the clinical criteria for catastrophic disability, which serve as the basis for the assignment of the listed ICD-9-CM and CPT® codes.  The revision will ensure that our regulation is not out of date when new versions of those codes are published, without changing the clinical criteria that form the basis for a determination of catastrophic disability.  The revisions would also broaden some of the clinical criteria for a finding of catastrophic disability.  The revisions may be termed broadening because the current codes may not in all cases have captured the newly described symptomatology.  Additionally, we would eliminate the Folstein Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) as a criterion for determining catastrophically disabling conditions because we have determined that the MMSE is no longer an appropriate or necessary clinical tool.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Eligibility for Health Care Based on Service in the Reserve Officers&apos; Training Corps</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend to its medical regulations concerning eligibility for health care.  This amendment would reflect changes made by the National Defense Authorization Act of 1989 (Act of 1989).  The Act of 1989 added a new definition of inactive duty training to include members of, or applicants for membership in, the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), thus making these individuals eligible for medical benefits.  This rulemaking proposes to include this new definition.  This rulemaking also proposes to re-establish the definitions of active military, naval, or air service; active duty; and active duty for training.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its VA Health Professional Scholarship Program (HPSP) regulations.  VA also proposes to establish regulations for a new program, the Visual Impairment and Orientation and Mobility Professional Scholarship Program (VIOMPSP).  These proposed regulations would comply with sections 302 and 603 of the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Service Act of 2010, Public Law 111-163 ("the 2010 Act").  Section 302 of the 2010 Act established the VIOMPSP, which authorizes VA to provide financial assistance to certain students seeking a degree in visual impairment or orientation or mobility, in order to increase the supply of qualified blind rehabilitation specialists for VA and the United States.  Section 603 of the 2010 Act reauthorized and modified HPSP, a program that provides scholarships for education or training in certain healthcare occupations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulation regarding the presence of animals on VA property. Current VA regulation authorizes the presence of seeing-eye dogs on VA property and other animals as authorized at the discretion of a VA facility head or designee. However, applicable Federal law authorizes the presence of both seeing-eye dogs and service animals when these animals accompany individuals with disabilities seeking admittance to buildings or property owned or operated by the Federal Government.  This proposed rule would expand the current VA regulation to be consistent with applicable Federal law, and would clarify the authority of the Secretary, VA or designee and the VA Under Secretary for Health or designee to allow nonservice animals to be present on VA property.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Authorization for Non-VA Medical Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations governing payment by VA for pre-authorized non-VA care for individuals, which is generally referred to as "fee basis care."  VA has authority in 38 U.S.C. 1703 to provide through contract or individual authorization certain hospital care and medical services to qualified veterans in instances where VA facilities are not available or capable of providing such services due to geographical inaccessibility or lack of services.  This proposed amendment would expand VA's existing regulation in accordance with amended statutory authority to remove certain limitations on VA's fee basis authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations concerning the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program (SSVF).  The proposed changes would clarify, consistent with existing regulations, that grantees must focus on providing permanent housing to eligible veteran families who, without SSVF assistance, would likely become homeless. The proposed clarifications are intended to emphasize the intended goals of SSVF.  The proposed rule would expand grantee's to provide certain services to all very low-income veteran families, and specifically to those veterans families with significant lower economic resources, which we would identify as extremely low-income veterans.  The purpose of this expanded authority is to address identified needs based on the administration of SSVF since its inception, and to provide incentive grantees to assist these particularly vulnerable veteran families.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations governing the approval of community residential care (CRC) facilities.  We would require CRC facilities to allow VA to perform Federal background checks at least once every 5 years on providers, staff, and non-consumer residents of a CRC facility in order for the CRC facility to be on VA's list of recommended CRC facilities.  In addition, the rule would require CRC facilities to report certain other information relative to the safety of individuals who might have access to a veteran living in a CRC facility.  The revisions would improve the safety and help prevent the neglect or abuse of veteran residents in CRC facilities.]]></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 document implements a portion of the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006, which requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to verify ownership and control of veteran-owned small businesses (VOSBs), including service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) in order for these firms to participate in VA acquisitions set-aside for SDVOSB/VOSBs.  This interim final rule contains a minor revision to require re-verification of SDVOSB/VOSB status only every two years rather than annually.  The purpose of this change is to reduce the administrative burden on SDVOSB/VOSBs regarding participation in VA acquisitions set asides for these types of firms.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tentative Eligibility Determinations; Presumptive Eligibility for Psychosis and Other Mental Illness</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulation authorizing tentative eligibility determinations to comply with amended statutory authority concerning statutory minimum active-duty service requirements.  VA will also 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 will 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>

The rulemaking will include home health services and hospice care under the VA regulation governing payment for all other non-VA health care providers.  Because the newly applicable methodology cannot supersede rates that VA has specifically contracted for, this rulemaking will only affect providers who do not have contracts with VA.  The rule will also rescind internal guidance documents that could be interpreted as conflicting with the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will establish a pilot program to offer private, premium-based dental insurance to enrolled veterans and certain survivors and dependents of veterans.  VA will contract with a private insurer, using the Federal contracting process, to offer dental insurance, and the private insurer would be responsible for virtually all aspects of the administration of the dental insurance plan.  VA's role will primarily be to form the contract with the private insurer and verify eligibility of veterans, survivors and dependents.  The program is authorized, and this rulemaking is required by, section 510 of the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010, Public Law 111-163 (the 2010 Act).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of 30-Day Residency Requirement for Per Diem Payments </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is taking direct action to amend its regulations concerning per diem payments to State homes for the provision of nursing home care to veterans.  Specifically, this rule removes the requirement that a veteran have resided in a State home for 30 consecutive days before VA will pay per diem for that veteran when there is no overnight stay.  The intended effect of this rule is to permit per diem payments to State homes for veterans who do not stay overnight, regardless of how long the veterans have resided at the State homes, so that the State homes will hold the veterans' beds until the veterans return.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations governing payment by VA for pre-authorized non-VA care for individuals, which is generally referred to as "fee basis care."  VA has authority in 38 U.S.C. 1703 to provide through contract or individual authorization certain hospital care and medical services to qualified veterans in instances where VA facilities are not available or capable of providing such services due to geographical inaccessibility or lack of services.  This proposed amendment would expand VA's existing regulation in accordance with amended statutory authority to remove certain limitations on VA's fee basis authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tribal Veterans Cemetery Grants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)regulations governing Federal grants for the establishment, expansion, and improvement of veterans cemeteries. This final rule implements through regulation new statutory authority to provide grants for the establishment, expansion, and improvement of Tribal organization veterans cemeteries, as authorized by section 403 of the ''Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006'' (the Act). The Act requires VA to administer grants to Tribal Organizations in the same manner and under the same conditions as grants to States. This final rule makes nonsubstantive changes to the part heading of part 39 and the name of the State Cemetery Grants service to more accurately reflect that VA awards veteran cemetery grants to States and Tribal Organizations. The final rule establishes criteria to guide VA's decisions on granting Tribal Organization requests to obtain grants for establishing, expanding, and improving veterans cemeteries that are or will be owned and operated by a Tribal Organization. The final rule also expands VA's preapplication requirement to all veterans cemetery grants as a means to promote consistency and communication in the grant application process. Further, the final rule revises VA regulations to address structural differences between Tribal Organizations and States.]]></ABSTRACT>

This amendment also clarifies existing regulatory provisions and reflects the respective responsibilities of VHA and VBA in determinations concerning eligibility for dental treatment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Loan Guaranty Revised Loan Modification Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document amends a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)Loan Guaranty regulation related to modification of guaranteed housing loans in default. Specifically, changes are made to requirements related to maximum interest rates on modified loans and to items that may be capitalized in a modified loan amount. In addition, we are revising the regulation to clarify that the holder of a loan may seek VA approval for a loan modification that does not otherwise meet prescribed conditions. The amendments are intended to liberalize the requirements for modification of VA-guaranteed loans and provide holders more options for working with veterans to avoid foreclosure.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing this final rule to affirm an amendment to its adjudication regulation regarding compensation for disabilities experienced by veterans who served in the Southwest Asia Theater of Operations during the Persian Gulf War.  This amendment is necessary to extend the period during which disabilities associated with undiagnosed illnesses and medically unexplained chronic multi-symptom illnesses must become manifest in order for a veteran to be eligible for compensation.  Additionally, in this final rule, VA will correct the adjudication section title that was amended and published in the Federal Register on September 29, 2010, but inadvertently changed to the original title.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This document adopts as final, without change, the interim final rule amending regulations of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to reflect changes made by the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Improvements Act of 2010, effective August 1, 2011, that affect payment of vocational rehabilitation benefits for certain service-disabled veterans. Pursuant to these changes, a veteran, who is eligible for a subsistence allowance under chapter 31 of title 38, United States Code, and educational assistance under chapter 33 of title 38, United States Code, may participate in a rehabilitation program under chapter 31 and elect to receive a payment equal in amount to an applicable military housing allowance payable under title 37, United States Code, instead of the regular subsistence allowance under chapter 31. In addition, payments of subsistence allowances during periods between school terms are discontinued, and payments during periods of temporary school closings are modified.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)regulations concerning the calendar date by which 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 require that initial application materials must be received by VA no later than April 15, instead of 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. We require certification of State matching funds to be submitted no later than August 1, instead of 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, so that we can accurately notify States that VA intends to select and fund particular projects. We also make technical revisions to conform our regulations to these revisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

Currently, VA's medical foster home program, whenever possible and appropriate, relies upon existing regulations that govern community residential care facilities; however, these existing regulations do not adequately or appropriately cover all aspects of medical foster homes, which provide community based care in a smaller, residential facility.

        <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 amends 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 rule are purely technical, matching the language of our regulations to the language of the statutes, while others set out VA's policies regarding the implementation of statutory requirements.  The rule will expand the  qualifications for payment or reimbursement to veterans who receive emergency services in non-VA facilities, and would establish accompanying standards for the method and amount of payment or reimbursement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Caregivers Act (effective May 5, 2010) authorized VA to provide medical care to newborns when the child is born of a woman veteran who has received her maternity care from VA and who delivered the child in a VA facility or in another facility pursuant to a VA contract for services. VA has been providing care "determined by appropriate healthcare professionals that . . . is needed to promote, preserve, or restore the health of the [infant] in accord with generally accepted standards of medical practice" since May 5, 2010 without the benefit of rulemaking.  At this time we seek to amend 38 C.F.R. 17.38 (the medical benefits package) to implement this statutory authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exempting In-Home Video Telehealth From Copayments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is taking final action to amend its regulation that governs VA services that are not subject to copayment requirements for inpatient hospital care or outpatient medical care.  Specifically, the regulation is amended to exempt in-home video telehealth care from having any required copayment.  This removes a barrier that may have previously discouraged veterans from choosing to use in-home video telehealth as a viable medical care option.  In turn, VA hopes to make the home a preferred place of care, whenever medically appropriate and possible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulation that governs VA services that are not subject to copayment requirements for inpatient hospital care or outpatient medical care.  Specifically, the regulation is amended to exempt in-home video telehealth care from having any required copayment.  This will remove a barrier that may have previously discouraged veterans from choosing to use in-home video telehealth as a viable medical care option.  In turn, VA hopes to make the home a preferred place of care, whenever medically appropriate and possible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends its medical regulations concerning the copayment required for certain medications.  Under current regulations, beginning on January 1, 2012, the copayment amount must be increased based on the prescription drug component of the Medical Consumer Price Index, and the maximum annual copayment amount must be increased when the copayment is increased.  This document freezes copayments at the current rate for the next 12 months, and thereafter resumes increasing copayments in accordance with any change in the prescription drug component of the Medical Consumer Price Index (CPI-P).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Withdrawal of Federal Water Quality Guidance for the Great Lakes System for Michigan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 4, 2000, EPA specified at 40 CFR 132.6(c) that certain requirements set forth in the Water Quality Guidance for the Great Lakes System (Guidance) at 40 CFR part 132 apply to discharges within the Great Lakes System in the States of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio because those States had not adopted requirements pertaining to whole effluent toxicity (WET) consistent with the Guidance. On September 19, 2005, Michigan submitted to EPA revisions to the rules that addressed WET requirements. By letter dated December 27, 2005, EPA found that Michigan's revised regulations were consistent with the Guidance, and therefore, approved the WET rule revisions. Michigan adopted the WET regulations into state rule on January 13, 2006. As a result, EPA is proposing to amend 40 CFR 132.6(c) to remove the reference to Michigan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation to Establish No Discharge Zone in California State Waters Under CWA 312(f)(4)(A)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a 2005 California law, the State Water Resources Control Board asked EPA to designate all California marine waters as a No Discharge Zone (NDZ) for all sewage from all large passenger vessels, and all large 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. EPA and the State found that even treated sewage can have elevated concentrations of pollutants. All prior NDZs prohibit all sewage from all vessels; however, the California request applied to only a subset of all vessels, targeting the highest volume generators. No existing NDZ established under 312(f)(4)(A) applies to all state marine waters either. Only two other NDZs have been established under 312(f)(4)(A): Minnesota Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. EPA established the California NDZ on February 27, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 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 mandate electronic reporting of NPDES data. Through this regulation, EPA seeks to ensure that such facility-specific information would be accurate, timely, and nationally consistent on the facilities that are regulated by the NPDES program. In the past, EPA primarily obtained this information from the Permit Compliance System (PCS). However, the evolution of the NPDES program since the inception of PCS has created an increasing need to better reflect a more complete picture of the NPDES program and the diverse universe of regulated sources. In addition, information technology has advanced significantly so that PCS no longer meets EPA's national needs to manage the full scope of the NPDES program or the needs of individual states that use PCS to implement and enforce the NPDES program.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[EPA views the draft proposed rule as a key means to transform the NPDES program, and provide significant savings and flexibilities to States and the NPDES-regulated universe. The electronic availability of the information would enable States and EPA to better ensure the protection of public health and the environment, effectively manage the national NPDES permitting and enforcement program, monitor compliance, redirect resources, and identify and address environmental problems.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Clean Water Act establishes a comprehensive program for protecting and restoring our Nation's waters. The Clean Water Act established the NPDES permit program to authorize and regulate the discharges of pollutants to waters of the United States. Section 402(a). EPA is proposing this rule under CWA sections 101(f), 304(i), 308, 402, and 501. This proposed rule, which is intended to reduce resource burdens associated with the paper-based system and increase the speed, quality and scope of information echoes the goals of CWA section 101(f). CWA section 304(i)(2) authorizes EPA to  promulgate guidelines establishing the minimum procedural and other elements of state programs under section 402, including reporting requirements and procedures to make information available to the public. In addition, EPA is proposing this rule under section 308, which authorizes EPA to require information to carry out the objectives of the CWA, including section 402, which establishes the NPDES permit program. EPA is proposing this rule under CWA sections 402(b) and (c), which require each authorized state, tribe, or territory to ensure that permits meet certain substantive requirements, and provide EPA information from point sources, industrial users, and the authorized program in order to ensure proper oversight. Finally, EPA is issuing this rule under CWA section 501, which authorizes EPA to prescribe such regulations as are necessary to carry out provisions of the Act.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Within the rulemaking process itself, various alternatives are being considered. One alternative would be status quo, where most States are moving toward electronic reporting of some NPDES information. However, unless electronic reporting is made mandatory, participation is not high and States are essentially operating two different reporting systems (i.e., one electronic-based and one paper-based). States also find that they must implement a costly public relations effort to recruit new users and train new users. State development of their own electronic reporting tools is an additional cost of the status quo. As another alternative, in the absence of electronically available information, EPA could seek this NPDES information from each State, as each State should currently be receiving this information in hard-copy format from regulated facilities. Another alternative that EPA could consider in rule implementation is whether third-party vendors may be better equipped to develop and modify such electronic reporting tools than EPA or States.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The economic analysis for the draft proposed rule indicates that significant savings should be anticipated after full implementation. Savings of approximately $30.3 million annually should be realized within three years after the final rule. Most of these savings (approximately $28.5 million) would accrue to the States, largely because of the elimination of data entry by States of paper-based discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports. The regulated universe would also receive some annual savings and would benefit from reduced incidence of data errors in transcription of the data from hard-copy submissions to electronic form. Some States (e.g., Ohio) have been able to quantify savings realized through mandatory electronic reporting. Additional benefits of this rule will include improved transparency of information regarding the NPDES program, improved information regarding the national NPDES program, improved targeting of resources based on identified program needs and noncompliance problems, and ultimately improved protection of public health and the environment. Some NPDES information associated with NPDES program implementation activities (e.g., permit issuance, inspections, violations, enforcement actions) will also be reported by States to EPA. There will be some upfront initial investment costs needed to realize these savings. EPA will have initial implementation costs to revise the data systems and to develop tools for electronic reporting by permittees, as well as annual operation and maintenance costs associated with those tools (in addition to ongoing ICIS-NPDES operation and maintenance costs). States would have initial investment costs associated with data system upgrades (if not already done) and initial data entry for facilities not currently tracked electronically.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[EPA does not receive sufficient facility-specific NPDES information from the states to be able to fully assess the full scope of compliance with the national NPDES program. This lack of complete information on compliance may adversely impact the states' and EPA's ability to better ensure the protection of public health and the environment, nationally and locally.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) requires each Federal agency to adjust its statutory civil penalties for inflation at least once every four years. Since EPA last adjusted its statutory civil penalties for inflation in 2008, 73 FR 75340 (December 11, 2008), in 2013, EPA will publish amendments to parts 19 and 27 to adjust statutory maximum and minimum penalties under its jurisdiction, as necessary, to account for inflation. This rulemaking will also include technical corrections to Title 40 to ensure that all regulatory references to specific civil penalty amounts refer to the operative effective statutory maximum penalty amount reflected in 40 CFR 19.4.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Reporting of Toxics Release Inventory 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) proposed 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. This rule promotes EPA efforts to eliminate paper-based submissions in favor of electronic reporting following the direction providing by the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, which requires Federal agencies to provide for electronic reporting when practicable. For over a decade, EPA has promoted the use of electronic reporting for TRI data, with 95% of TRI facilities reporting TRI data electronically for RY 2010. This rule is a continuation of this policy to promote electronic reporting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program plans to issue a direct final rule to incorporate the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes for TRI reporting purposes. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) updates the NAICS codes every 5 years. OMB approved the 2012 NAICS codes on August 17, 2011 (76 FR 51240), and the new NAICS codes are effective for calendar year 2012. The TRI Program currently uses 2007 codes and through this rulemaking, plans to finalize this rule immediately in order to implement the 2012 codes for TRI Reporting Year 2012 for reports due for submission to the Agency by July 1, 2013. The actual data required by a TRI form will not change as a result of this rulemaking, nor will the rule affect the universe of TRI reporting facilities that are required to submit reports to the Agency under EPCRA section 313.]]></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>

The EPA recognizes that effective best management practices (BMPs) exist that protect receiving waters and minimize impacts. The EPA plans to propose approaches that leverage effective BMP programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Stormwater Regulations Revision to Address Discharges From Developed Sites</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[: Stormwater discharges from developed areas are a major cause of degradation of surface waters due to the 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, and may take other actions to implement improved control of stormwater pollution and more efficient rainwater use. This action could promote the use of green infrastructure approaches to manage stormwater.]]></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 limitations guidelines and standards, to reduce discharges of pollutants from industries to waters of the U.S. These requirements are incorporated into National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge permits issued by EPA and States and through the national pretreatment program. 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. Power plant discharges can have impacts on water quality, including reduced organism abundance and species diversity and contamination of drinking water sources. Pollutants of concern include metals (e.g., mercury, arsenic, and selenium), nutrients, and total dissolved solids.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 301(b)(2) of the Clean Water Act requires EPA to promulgate effluent limitations for categories of point sources, using technology-based standards, that govern the sources' discharge of certain pollutants. 33 USC Section 1311(b). Section 304(b) of the Act directs EPA to develop effluent limitations guidelines (ELGs) that identify certain technologies and control measures available to achieve effluent reductions for each point source category, specifying factors to be taken into account in identifying those technologies and control measures. 33 U.S.C. Section 1314(b). Since the 1970s, EPA has formulated effluent limitations and ELGs in tandem through a single administrative process. Am. Frozen Food Inst. v. Train, 539 F.2d 107 (D.C. Cir. 1976). The CWA also requires EPA to perform an annual review of existing ELGs and to revise them, if appropriate. 33 U.S.C. Section 1314(b); see also 33 U.S.C. Section 1314(m)(1)(A).

        <RULE_TITLE>Water Quality Standards Regulatory Clarifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing 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 addresses the following six key areas: 1) Administrator's determination that new or revised WQS are necessary, 2) designated uses, 3) triennial review requirements, 4) antidegradation, 5) variances to water quality standards, and 6) compliance schedule authorizing provisions. These revisions will allow EPA, States and authorized tribes to better achieve program goals by providing clearer more streamlined requirements to facilitate enhanced water resource protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations Regulations Revision Rule</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. USDA Agricultural Census data shows that there are approximately 900,000 farms that raise livestock or poultry, and EPA estimates that about 238,000 of these farms are considered animal feeding operations (AFOs). The NPDES CAFO Regulations Revision Rule is being developed to ensure Regional and State Water NPDES Permitting Authorities have sufficient tools to reduce discharges of manure from these facilities. The scope of the proposed rule may consider options nationally that would expand the universe of regulated CAFOs and provide more stringent permitting requirements for land application of manure, litter, and process wastewater.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Application and Program Updates Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to propose regulations that would 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. In this effort EPA plans to address application, permitting, monitoring and reporting requirements that have become obsolete or outdated due to programmatic, technical or other changes that have occurred over the past 35 years. Specifically, EPA plans to focus on revising the NPDES permit application forms to specifically include all final agency data standards, improving the consistency between the application forms, updating 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). EPA also plans to address other program elements including permit documentation, EPA state permit objection, and public participation procedures to improve the quality and transparency of permit development. As an example of a regulation which could be proposed to change to reduce burden, as well as improve transparency and public access to information, EPA is considering whether to revise the public notice requirements to allow a State to post notices of draft NPDES permits and other permit actions under the Clean Water Act on their State agency Web sites in lieu of traditional newspaper posting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[After U.S. Supreme Court decisions in SWANCC and Rapanos, the scope of "waters of the US" protected under all CWA programs has been an issue of considerable debate and uncertainty. The Act has a single definition for "waters of the United States." As a result, these decisions affect the geographic scope of all CWA programs. SWANCC and Rapanos did not invalidate the current regulatory definition of "waters of the United States." However, the decisions established important considerations for how those regulations should be interpreted, and experience implementing the regulations has identified several areas that could benefit from additional clarification through rulemaking. U.S. EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are developing a proposed rule for determining whether a water is protected by the Clean Water Act. This rule would clarify which water bodies are protected under the Clean Water Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Regulatory Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Beginning in 2004, EPA conducted a wide-ranging review of implementation of the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) to determine if there is a national problem related to elevated lead levels. EPA's comprehensive review consisted of several elements, including a series of workshops designed to solicit issues, comments, and suggestions from stakeholders on particular issues; a review of monitoring data to evaluate the effectiveness of the LCR; and a review of the LCR implementation by States and water utilities. As a result of this multi-part review, EPA identified seven targeted rules changes and 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 2013/2014 time frame. Changes will be made to make the rule more cost effective and more protective of public health.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (42 U.S.C. 300f et seq.) requires EPA to establish maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) and National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) for contaminants that may have an adverse effect on the health of persons, may occur in public water systems at a frequency and level of public concern, and in the sole judgment of the Administrator, regulation of the contaminant would present a meaningful opportunity for health risk reduction for persons served by public water systems (section 1412(b)(1)(A)). The 1986 amendments to SDWA established a list of 83 contaminants for which EPA is to develop MCLGs and NPDWRs, which included lead and copper. The 1991 NPDWR for Lead and Copper (56 FR 26460, U.S. EPA, 1991a) fulfilled the requirements of the 1986 SDWA amendments with respect to lead and copper." 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.

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Group Regulation of Carcinogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA announced in February 2011 that it plans to develop one national primary drinking water regulation (NPDWR) covering up to 16 carcinogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). EPA will propose a regulation to address carcinogenic VOC contaminants as a group 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; and up to eight unregulated VOCs from the EPA's Contaminant Candidate List 3. 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 has reached out to stakeholders via multiple meetings and the Web before deciding to develop the carcinogenic VOC group rule. EPA also plans to seek input from the Science Advisory Board, the National Drinking Water Advisory Council, the Department of Health and Human Services, and State and tribal drinking water programs prior to issuing a proposed rule.]]></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. Under a consent decree with environmental organizations, EPA divided the section 316(b) rulemaking into three phases. All new facilities except offshore oil and gas exploration facilities were addressed in Phase I in December 2001; in July, 2004, EPA promulgated Phase II which covered large existing electric generating plants; and all new offshore oil and gas exploration facilities were later addressed in June 2006 as part of Phase III. In July 2007, EPA suspended the Phase II rule following the Second Circuit decision. 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 and remanded the case to the Second Circuit. The Second Circuit subsequently granted a request from EPA that the case be returned to the Agency for further consideration. 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 entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in two lawsuits related to Section 316(b) rulemakings. Under the settlement agreement, as twice 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 June 27, 2013. Plaintiffs agreed to seek dismissal of both their suits, subject to a request to reopen one of the lawsuits  in the event EPA failed to meet the agreed deadlines. EPA's proposed regulation includes uniform controls at all existing facilities to prevent fish from being trapped against screens (impingement), site-specific controls for existing facilities other than new units to prevent fish from being drawn through cooling systems (entrainment), and uniform controls equivalent to closed cycle cooling for new units at existing facilities. Other regulatory options analyzed included similar uniform impingement controls, and progressively more stringent requirements for entrainment controls. Another option considered would imposed the uniform impingement controls only for facilities withdrawing 50 million or more gallons per day of cooling water, with site-specific impingement controls for facilities withdrawing less than 50 million gallons per day. EPA issued two Notices of Data Availability (NODA) in June 2012 that described flexibilities EPA is considering as part of the impingement mortality limitations and that described the preliminary results of surveys of households' willingness to pay for incremental reductions in fish mortality.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Clean Water Act requires EPA to establish best technology available standards to minimize adverse environmental impacts from cooling water intake structures. On February 16, 2004, EPA took final action on regulations governing cooling water intake structures at certain existing power producing facilities under section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act (Phase II rule). 69 FR 41576 (July 9, 2004). These regulations were challenged, and the Second Circuit remanded several provisions of the Phase II rule on various grounds. Riverkeeper, Inc. v. EPA, 475F.3d83, (2d Cir., 2007). EPA suspended most of the rule in response to the remand. 72 FR 37107 (July 9, 2007). The remand of Phase III does not change permitting requirements for these facilities. Until the new rule is issued, permit directors continue to issue permits on a case-by-case, Best Professional Judgment basis for Phase II facilities.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <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 12 States and two territories, 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. On May 18, 2000, EPA promulgated the California Toxics Rule (CTR) in order to establish numeric water quality criteria for priority pollutants for the State of California that were not previously in the NTR. At that time, criteria promulgated in the NTR for California were codified in the criteria tables of the CTR. 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 withdrawing aquatic life cyanide (CN) criteria for San Francisco Bay and numerous numeric toxic criteria for New Jersey and Puerto Rico from the NTR and making conforming changes to the CTR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EPA is revising its Phase I stormwater regulations (40 CFR 122.26) to specify that stormwater discharges from logging roads do not constitute stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity and that a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit is not required for these stormwater discharges.  EPA is taking this action in response to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Northwest Environmental Defense Center (NEDC) v. Brown, which addressed the question of whether discharges from certain logging roads require National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. The Agency is clarifying that a permit is not required for these discharges.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Revisions to the Total Coliform Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is finalizing revisions to the Total Coliform Rule (TCR), which was published in 1989. The Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) targets public water systems (PWSs) that have distribution system microbial monitoring results that indicate a potential pathway for fecal contamination to enter the distribution system. The occurrence of indicators of contamination in the distribution system is an indication that waterborne pathogens may also be present. The RTCR provisions require systems that reach specified levels of contaminant indicators in the distribution system to conduct an assessment to determine if sanitary defects exist and, if found, correct them. The final RTCR will maintain or improve public health protection, a requirement for all revisions to NPDWRs under SDWA. EPA convened a Federal advisory committee to give the Agency advice on how to revise the TCR. In September 2008 all advisory committee members agreed to and signed an Agreement in Principle (AIP) that documented their recommendations. As part of the advisory committee's AIP, EPA committed to write a proposed rule that has the same substance and effect as the AIP. On July 14, 2010, EPA published proposed revisions to the TCR (75 FR 40926) that were consistent with the letter and spirit of this commitment. The final RTCR reflects consideration of the AIP and public comments. In the preamble to the July 2010 proposed RTCR, EPA requested comment on the value and cost of storage facility inspection and cleaning. EPA received comments regarding unsanitary conditions and contamination that can be found in finished water storage facilities that are not routinely inspected and cleaned, including breaches and accumulation of sediment, animals, insects, and other contaminants. While EPA could finalize such requirements based on the comments received on RTCR, the Agency is considering a proposed rule in order to allow interested parties to comment and provide relevant information. Any potential requirements would apply to all public water systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Uniform National Discharge Standards for Vessels of the Armed Forces--Phase II</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is Phase II of implementing regulations on Uniform National Discharge Standards for Vessels of the Armed Forces. In 1996 the Clean Water Act was amended to create section 312(n), Uniform National Discharge Standards for Vessels of the Armed Forces. Section 312(n) directs EPA and DOD to work together to provide Armed Forces vessels with a nationally uniform set of discharge standards, which preempt State discharge standards for these vessels. The purpose of the statute is to allow DOD to plan, design, and build environmentally sound vessels, to encourage innovative pollution control technology, and to improve operational flexibility. EPA and DOD jointly promulgated Phase I of these regulations, 40 CFR part 1700, on May 10, 1999 (64 FR 25126). The Phase I rulemaking concluded that 25 discharges from Armed Forces vessels would require control devices. Some of these discharges (such as bilge water) have the potential to introduce oil or other organics into receiving waters; some (such as hull coating leachate) have the potential to introduce copper or other metals; and some (such as ballast water) have the potential to introduce nonindigenous invasive aquatic species. Phase II will establish performance standards for control devices for these 25 discharges. The Phase II performance standards will be promulgated in five "batches." Each batch will address several performance standards. Once DOD implements rules for achieving the standards set in Phase II, covered discharges from Armed Forces vessels will be required to meet these standards, and will not be subject to discharge standards established by States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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 action will be included as part of EPA's Stormwater Regulations Revision to Address Discharges from Developed Sites (RIN 2040-AD13). EPA 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>

        <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. The 2009 ELG rule contained a numeric effluent limit for turbidity, based on the application of passive treatment technology. 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. EPA issued a stay of the numeric limitation on January 4, 2011. The stay will be in place until a new limit is finalized or the limit is withdrawn through a rulemaking action. EPA has issued a Federal Register notice soliciting additional data. EPA intends to propose a correction rule for public comment and then take final action on a revised limitation in the future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Effluent Guidelines and Standards for Unconventional Oil and Gas Extraction Including Coalbed Methane and Shale Gas Extraction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In recent years there has been substantial growth in extraction and production of oil and gas resources including coalbed methane and shale gas using unconventional technologies. Part of this growth can be attributed to advances in directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing. This unconventional oil and gas production can generate substantial volumes of wastewater. These wastewaters have been found to contain elevated concentrations of some or all of the following pollutants: fracturing fluid additives, salt content (often expressed as total dissolved solids or TDS), conventional pollutants, organics, metals, and NORM (naturally occurring radioactive material) which, if discharged, can directly impact aquatic life and drinking water sources. The current state of regulations for discharges associated with these unconventional activities varies. This action will collect information, review existing technologies, and develop regulatory options to control discharges of pollutants from these sources.]]></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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA announced in February 2011 that it is beginning development of a national drinking water regulation for perchlorate in drinking water. The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) 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 of a regulation, and how a standard would be implemented (e.g., monitoring requirements). 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>Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for Airport Deicing Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In April 2012, EPA's Administrator signed the technology-based effluent limitations guidelines and new source performance standards to control discharges of pollutants from airport deicing operations. The requirements generally apply to wastewater associated with the deicing of airfield pavement at primary airports. The rule also establishes new source performance standards for wastewater discharges associated with aircraft deicing for a subset of new airports. EPA expects this regulation to reduce pollutant discharges by at least 16 million pounds per year, at an annual cost of about $3.5 million.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would amend "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants" at 40 CFR part 136 to approve test procedures (analytical methods) for use by testing laboratories for water monitoring. These test procedures are used to implement the NPDES program unless an alternate procedure is approved by a Regional Administrator. The regulation would also revise, clarify, and correct errors and ambiguities in existing methods and the water monitoring regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 20, 2012, the EPA withdrew the proposal to collect concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) information by rule. Instead, the EPA, where appropriate, will collect CAFO information using existing sources of information, including State NPDES programs, other regulations, and other programs at the Federal, State, and local levels. The EPA believes, at this time, it is more appropriate to obtain CAFO information by working with Federal, State, and local partners instead of requiring CAFO information to be submitted pursuant to a rule. Today's withdrawal does not preclude the Agency from initiating the same or similar rulemaking at a future date. EPA's withdrawal of this proposal does not change any of the NPDES permit requirements for CAFOs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) extended the March 6, 2012 effective date of 40 CFR part 131.43, "Water Quality Standards for the State of Florida's Lakes and Flowing Waters" [inland waters rule] to July 6, 2012 2013. The EPA's final regulation for 40 CFR part 131.43(f) set an effective date of March 6, 2012 for the entire regulation, except for the site-specific alternative criteria provision (40 CFR 131.43(e)), which had an effective date of February 4, 2011. EPA extended the effective date of this rule for 4 months to  July 6, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA directed the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) in its September 3, 2010 Amended Determination (AD), and consistent with an April 2010 Court order, to complete rulemaking to correct deficiencies in its Phosphorus Rule by January 1, 2011 and the Amended Everglades Forever Act by July 11, 2011. The required changes were included in the AD and consisted of line-by-line strike-outs of portions of the Phosphorus Rule that were rejected by the Court as inconsistent with the Clean Water Act (CWA) and disapproved by EPA on December 3, 2009. The deadline for the State to correct the deficiencies passed and FDEP failed to make the required changes. Therefore, EPA identified the disapproved provisions of the Phosphorus Rule and the Amended Everglades Forever Act that are not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes in this final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of the Vacated Elements of the 2008 Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 20, 2008, EPA published a final rule (73 FR 70418) to revise its regulations to address when the operator of a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) has a duty to apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. On March 15, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued an opinion in National Pork Producers Council v. EPA that vacated portions of the 2008 rule. On July 19, 2012, EPA issued a final rule (77 FR 44494) to revise its CAFO permit regulation to remove the requirement that CAFOs that "propose to discharge" must seek NPDES permit coverage. In addition, this action removed from the CAFO permit regulation the option to voluntarily certify that a CAFO does not discharge or propose to discharge. The voluntary certification provision is unnecessary because the "propose to discharge" requirement is being removed.]]></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 final 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>Hazardous Waste Requirements for Retail Products; Clarifying and Making the Program More Effective</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is exploring ways to clarify and make the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste regulations more effective for managing waste retail products. Retailers face uncertainty in managing the wide range of retail products that may become wastes if unsold, returned, or removed from shelves for inventory changes. Because of the wide range of products that can become waste, retailers find it difficult to comply with the RCRA hazardous waste regulations that were designed for manufacturing and other types of industry wastes. In response to comments submitted for the periodic retrospective review of regulations under Executive Order 13563, EPA committed to analyzing relevant information to determine what the retail RCRA issues of concern are and what options may exist for addressing the issues. This Notice of Data Availability (NODA) will: 1) present data and information EPA has gathered thus far from stakeholders and other sources; 2) request additional relevant data and information from stakeholders and the public; and 3) request comment on issues of concern for managing retail product waste and options for addressing the issues. EPA will use the information gathered thus far and additional information submitted in response to the NODA to determine possible next steps to address retail product waste issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Management Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A small portion of pharmaceuticals are regulated as hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act when discarded. Healthcare (and associated) facilities that generate hazardous waste pharmaceuticals have reported having difficulties complying with the manufacturing-oriented framework of the subtitle C hazardous waste regulations for a number of reasons. First, under the current hazardous waste regulatory scheme, healthcare workers, whose primary focus is to provide care for patients, are often involved in the implementation of the regulations. Second, a healthcare facility can have thousands of items in its formulary, making it difficult to ascertain which ones are hazardous wastes when disposed. Third, some active pharmaceutical ingredients are listed as acute hazardous wastes, which are stringently regulated even in small amounts. To facilitate compliance and to respond to these concerns, EPA is proposing to revise the regulations to improve management and disposal of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals. The revisions are also intended to clarify regulation of a major mechanism used by healthcare facilities for management of unused and/or expired pharmaceuticals, known as reverse distribution. In 2008, the Agency proposed to address pharmaceutical hazardous waste management issues by adding them to the Universal Waste rule. However, in order to address the adverse comments received on the 2008 proposal, EPA is now considering re-proposing healthcare facility-specific regulations for the management of hazardous  waste pharmaceuticals in order to provide a regulatory scheme that is adapted to the unique issues that hospitals, pharmacies, and other healthcare-related facilities face.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Addition of Subsurface 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 subsurface intrusion. Subsurface intrusion occurs when contaminants are released, enter the subsurface environment and move into occupied structures (e.g., residences, workplaces, and other buildings) as a gas, vapor, or liquid. Over the past decade EPA and State environmental programs have 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 working toward a proposed rulemaking to add a new screening component to the HRS that would allow sites with vapor intrusion contamination to be evaluated for placement on the NPL. This addition would enable the HRS to directly consider the human exposure to contaminants that enter building structures through the subsurface environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; Subpart J Product Schedule Listing Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Water Act requires EPA to prepare a schedule identifying dispersants, other chemicals, and other spill mitigating devices and substances, if any, that may be used in carrying out the National Contingency Plan (NCP); and the waters and quantities in which they may be used. EPA is considering revising subpart J of the NCP to address the efficacy, toxicity, and environmental monitoring of dispersants, other chemical and biological agents, and other spill mitigating substances, as well as public, State, local, and Federal officials concerns on their authorization and use. Specifically, the Agency is considering revisions to the technical product requirements under subpart J, including amendments to the effectiveness and toxicity testing protocols, and establishing new effectiveness and toxicity thresholds for listing certain products on the Schedule. Additionally, the Agency is considering amendments to area planning requirements for agent use authorization, and advanced monitoring techniques. The Agency is also considering revisions to harmonize 40 CFR part 110.4 with the definitions for chemical and biological agents proposed for subpart J.  These changes, if finalized, will help ensure that chemical and biological agents have met rigorous efficacy and toxicity requirements, that product manufacturers provide important use and safety information, and that the planning and response community is equipped with the proper information to authorize and use the products in a judicious and effective manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The use of dispersants in response to the Deepwater Horizon incident, both on surface slicks and injected directly into the oil from the well riser, raised many questions about efficacy, toxicity, environmental trade-offs, and monitoring challenges. The Agency is considering amendments to subpart J that would increase the overall scientific soundness of the data collected on mitigation agents, take into consideration not only the efficacy but also the toxicity, long-term environmental impacts, endangered species protection, and human health concerns raised during responses to oil discharges, including the Deepwater Horizon incident. The additional data requirements being considered would aid OSCs and RRTs when evaluating specific product information and when deciding whether and which products to use to mitigate hazards caused by discharges or threatened discharges of oil. Additionally, the Agency is considering amendments to area planning requirements for dispersant use authorization, toxicity thresholds, and advanced monitoring techniques. This action is a major component of EPA's effort to inform the use of dispersants and other chemical or biological agents when responding to oil discharges based on lessons learned from the Federal Government's experiences in responding to off-shore oil discharges, including the Deepwater Horizon incident, in the Gulf of Mexico and anticipation of the expansion of oil exploration and production activities in the Arctic.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) requires the President to prepare and publish a National Contingency Plan (NCP) for the removal of oil and hazardous substances. In turn, the President delegated the authority to implement this section of the FWPCA to EPA through Executive Order 12777 (56 FR 54757; October 22, 1991). Section 311(d)(2)(G)(i) of the FWPCA (a.k.a., Clean Water Act), as amended by the OPA, requires that the NCP include a schedule identifying "dispersants, other chemicals, and other spill mitigating devices and substances, if any, that may be used in carrying out" the NCP. Currently, the use of dispersants, other chemicals, and other oil spill mitigating devices and substances (e.g., bioremediation agents) to respond to oil discharges in U.S. waters is governed by subpart J of the NCP (40 CFR part 300 series 900).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The Agency is not proposing to maintain the status quo, and will consider alternatives to the current regulation that address the efficacy, toxicity, and environmental monitoring of dispersants, and other chemical and biological agents, as well as public, State, local, and Federal officials' concerns regarding their use. Specifically, the alternative requirements to the current NCP Product Schedule (Schedule) consider new listing criteria, revisions to the efficacy and toxicity testing protocols, and clarifications to the evaluation criteria for removing products from the Schedule. EPA is also considering alternatives to the current requirements for the authorities, notifications, monitoring, and data reporting when using chemical or biological agents in response to oil discharges in waters of the U.S. The alternatives to the exxisting rule being considered are intended to encourage the development of safer and more effective spill mitigating products, to better target the use of these products in order to reduce the risks to human health and the environment, and to ensure that On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs), Regional Response Teams (RRTs), and Area Committees have sufficient information to support agent preauthorization or authorization of use decisions.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Not yet determined.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Although major catastrophic oil discharges where chemical or biological agents may be used are relatively infrequent, this proposed rulemaking under subpart J may lead to the manufacture and use of less toxic, more effective oil spill mitigating products.  The use of these products may reduce the potential for human and environmental impact, emergency response duration, and costs associated with any oil discharge.  However, the impacts will vary greatly depending on factors that include the size, location, and duration of an oil discharge, as well as the type of oil being discharded.  While the reduction in environmental impacts associated with the use of oil spill mitigating agents driven by this action are likely small for typical oil discharges, they could be significant in the event of a large oil discharge.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modifications to RCRA Rules Associated With Solvent-Contaminated Industrial Wipes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In November, 2003, EPA proposed to modify the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste regulations for management of solvent-contaminated industrial wipes. EPA proposed to conditionally exempt 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>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. 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. In the NPRM, EPA proposed: adding secondary containment requirements for new and replaced tanks and piping; adding operator training requirements; adding periodic operation and maintenance requirements for UST systems; removing certain deferrals; adding new release prevention and detection technologies; updating codes of practice; making editorial and technical corrections; and updating State program approval requirements to incorporate these new changes. On an annualized basis, the total estimated regulatory compliance costs for the proposed action are $210 million. The estimated annual cost savings related to avoided costs associated with preventing releases and reducing the severity of releases are between $300 and $740 million per year under the proposed action.]]></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). 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 considering a rule that would conditionally exclude from the RCRA requirements CO2 streams that otherwise meet the definition of hazardous waste, in order to facilitate implementation of GS, while protecting human health and the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The development of the proposed rule was the result of numerous outside stakeholder comments seeking clarity on the applicability of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste regulations to carbon dioxide (CO2) streams to be geologically sequestered in Underground Injection Control (UIC) Class VI wells. These comments, received in response to a separate proposed rulemaking establishing new UIC Class VI permitting standards, were from industry, trade groups, State and local representatives, environmental interest groups, and concerned citizens. In addition, on February 3, 2010, President Obama established an Interagency Task Force on CCS composed of 14 Executive Departments and Federal Agencies. The Task Force, co-chaired by the Department of Energy and EPA, was charged with proposing a plan to overcome the barriers to the widespread, cost-effective deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) within ten years, with a goal of bringing five to ten commercial demonstration projects online by 2016. One of the Task Force recommendations was that EPA propose and finalize a rulemaking to clarify the applicability of RCRA to CCS activities.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Due to the high level of uncertainty regarding the percent of CO2 that may be generated as RCRA hazardous waste and the uncertainty regarding the actual number of facilities potentially affected over the projected 50 year period, EPA's best estimate for the impacts of the proposed rule ranges from a low-end annualized net savings of $7.3 million (7% discount rate) to the high-end annualized net savings of $44.9 million (3% discount rate).]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[EPA stated in the proposal its belief that the management of CO2 streams in accordance with the proposed conditions and thus excluded from RCRA would not present a substantial risk to human health or the environment and, therefore, additional regulation pursuant to RCRA's hazardous waste regulations is unnecessary.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rulemaking on the Definition of Solid Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA's reexamination of the 2008 definition of solid waste final rule identified areas that could be improved to better protect public health and the environment with a particular focus on adjacent communities. Potential regulatory changes should improve accountability and oversight of hazardous materials recycling, while allowing flexibility to promote economic and environmental benefits. Facilities affected include those that send hazardous waste offsite to be recycled and those that recycle hazardous waste onsite.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[These regulations are promulgated under the authority of sections 2002, 3001, 3002, 3003, 3004, 3007, 3010 and 3017 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1970, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA), 42 U.S.C. 6921, 6922, 6923 and 6924. This statute is commonly referred to as "RCRA."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Alternatives considered include (1) no action (retain the 2008 DSW rule), and (2) additional regulatory requirements for hazardous secondary materials recycling.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) for the 2011 DSW proposed rule estimates the future average annualized costs to industry to comply with the proposed revisions at between $7.2 million and $47.5 million per year.  However, in many cases these costs are not direct costs, but rather are reduced savings from what a company might have otherwise experienced under the 2008 DSW rule.  In other words, companies that are currently operating under full Subtitle C hazardous waste regulations would still experience cost savings under the 2011 DSW proposal, but not as much cost savings as they would under the 2008 DSW final rule. 

The RIA identifies three categories of expected future benefits for the final action consisting of: (1) reduction in future environmental damages from industrial recycling of hazardous secondary materials; (2) improved industry environmental compliance; and (3) indirect legal and financial benefits to industry consisting of reduced liability, less uncertainty for regulated facilities, and lower legal and financial credit costs. However, the RIA does not quantify or monetize these benefit categories.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Export Requirements of the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency is considering revising the cathode ray tube (CRT) final rule published on July 28, 2006 (71 FR 42927), to address certain implementation concerns. We are considering adding a definition of "exporter," which will clarify the liabilities of intermediaries, such as brokers, in fulfilling the export-related requirements of the rule. We are also considering including additional items to the notification required for CRTs exported for reuse. These requirements will make it easier to implement the export requirements of the rule and will enable the Agency to obtain additional information on the export of this class of used electronics.]]></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 (also 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). EPA issued a proposed rule on June 21, 2010, in which the Agency co-proposed two approaches--one which would regulate coal combustion residuals under Subtitle C of RCRA as a "special waste" and one under Subtitle D of RCRA as a non-hazardous waste. Under both approaches, coal combustion residuals that are beneficially used would remain Bevill exempt.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>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. 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.]]></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. This provision authorizes regulation to require business operators to have some financial mechanisms in place--such as a bond or insurance policy--that can provide funds to clean or avert spills of hazardous substances without burdening taxpayers. The Agency has identified classes of facilities within the Hard Rock mining industry as those for which financial responsibility requirements will be first developed. EPA intends to include requirements for financial responsibility, as well as notification and implementation.]]></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. The case was held in abeyance so that the Parties could participate in the D.C. Circuit Mediation Program. While the mediation process did not resolve the issues raised by all of the Parties, it did raise issues warranting reconsideration of the final rule by EPA. As such, EPA sought and received a voluntary remand, without vacatur of the Final Rule during the re-evaluation period. In this action, EPA is reconsidering the Final Rule based on (1) policy choices that were initially made in the promulgation of the Final Rule; (2) views that were articulated by the Parties during the mediation process; and (3) additional data that is now available. The additional data includes data that was collected as part of the National Air Emissions Monitoring Study (NAEMS). EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB) is currently evaluating draft emissions estimating methodologies (EEMs) based on the NAEMS data. Because EPA intends to use final EEMs as part of the proposed rule, the schedule for the publication of the proposed rule is dependent on a timely finalization of those EEMs.]]></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[In March 2012, EPA finalized an alternative approach for applying the threshold planning quantity (TPQ) for chemicals on the Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs) List that are handled as non-reactive solids in solution. Previously, the TPQs for solids in solution were 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. The final rule allows facilities to multiply the amount of non-reactive solid EHS in solution on-site by 0.2 before comparing it to its TPQ, based on experimental data indicating that only 20% of aerosols from accidental releases of solids in solution would disperse beyond a facility's fenceline.]]></ABSTRACT>

State and local implementing agencies requested that EPA add the new data elements since the additional information would be useful to develop or modify their community emergency response plans. EPA also revised some existing data elements in the chemical reporting section of the Tier II inventory form to make reporting easier for facilities and make the form more user-friendly for state and local officials.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 18, 2010, EPA published a Direct Final rule, and parallel Proposed rule that made a number of specific technical changes to correct or clarify several parts of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act hazardous waste regulations. Because the Agency received adverse comments on a number of the amendments, the Agency withdrew them. This final rule addresses two of the amendments that were withdrawn; the four remaining amendments that were withdrawn will remain withdrawn unless and until EPA determines action is warranted in the future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; Revision to Increase Public Availability of the Administrative Record File</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is considering amending Section 300.805(c)-Location of the Administrative Record File in Subpart I-Administrative Record for Selection of Response Action, of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) to acknowledge advancements in technologies used to manage and convey information to the public. Specifically, EPA is considering adding language to broaden the technology, to include computer telecommunications or other electronic means, which the lead agency is permitted to use to make the administrative record file available to the public regarding documents that form the basis for the selection of a response action. By updating language used to describe permitted technology, the lead agency will be able to serve the information needs of a broader population while maintaining the ability to provide traditional means of public access to the administrative record file, such as paper copies and microform. This amendment does not limit the lead agency's ability to make the administrative record file available to the public in traditional forms, such as paper and microform. The lead agency should assess the capacity and resources of the public to utilize and maintain an electronic- or computer telecommunications-based repository to make a decision on which approach suits a specific site. Based on the preferences of the community and the lead agency's assessment of the site-specific situation, the lead agency will determine whether to provide 1) traditional forms (e.g. paper copies; microform); 2) electronic resources; or 3) both traditional forms and electronic resources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Adjustments to the Allowance System for Controlling HCFC Production, Import, and Export for 2015-2019</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is proposing to adjust the allowance system that controls the U.S. consumption and production of ozone-depleting substances known as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) to lower the amount of available allowances. While much less destructive to stratospheric ozone than chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), HCFCs contribute to ozone depletion and alternatives are generally available. The HCFC allowance system is part of EPA's program to reduce the emissions of ozone depleting substances to protect the stratospheric ozone layer. Protection of the stratospheric ozone layer helps reduce rates of skin cancer and cataracts. The U.S. is obligated under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer to limit HCFC consumption and production in a stepwise fashion achieving specific levels by specific dates. Reductions occurred January 1, 2004, and January 1, 2010. This rulemaking would implement the next phasedown step, a reduction to 90% below the production and consumption baselines beginning January 1, 2015.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revised Regulation for Environmental Radiation Protection Standard for Nuclear Power Operations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA issued the "Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Operations" in 1977. Since issuance of these standards, the understanding of radiation risk and dose to humans has advanced and new methodologies have been developed to calculate radiation doses. In view of the developments over the past decades, EPA is evaluating how to update the Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Operations in 40 CFR part 190. An updated rule would draw on updated science and clarify how safety should be demonstrated. EPA is issuing an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit public input on general questions and approaches on what aspects of the rule should be updated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 111(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs EPA to review and, if appropriate, revise the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) at least every 8 years after promulgation. This is a review of subpart WWW, Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, section 60.750-60.759, which was last promulgated in 1996. Issues raised in amendments proposed for the NSPS and Emissions Guidelines (EG) in 2002 and 2006 will also be addressed. Non-methane organic compounds (NMOC) are regulated under the current NSPS and EG.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Using authority under section 608 of the Clean Air Act, this rule would exempt hydrocarbon refrigerants from the existing prohibition on venting, release and disposal of refrigerants. EPA recently listed hydrocarbon refrigerants as being acceptable or acceptable subject to use conditions as substitutes for ozone depleting substances under EPA's Significant New Alternative Policy Program. EPA is proposing to take this action based on current evidence that venting, release and disposal of hydrocarbon refrigerants do not pose a threat to the environment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Review</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>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. The rule has seen increased activity of late, due to the increase in ethanol production that has lead to bumper crops of corn being grown, which, in turn, has led to a need for increased grain storage. For these reasons a review and potential change in certain definitions is necessary to ensure the appropriate standards are being applied consistently throughout the industry.]]></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>Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (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 for a new source performance standard (NSPS) and national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (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 proposes to 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 can be used for regulation development, control strategy development, rule effectiveness studies, risk analyses, and other air pollution control activities.]]></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>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 new residential wood heaters. This action is necessary because it updates the 1988 NSPS to reflect significant advancements in wood heater technologies and design, broadens the range of residential wood-heating appliances covered by the regulation, and improves and streamlines implementation procedures. This rule is expected to require manufacturers to redesign wood heaters to be cleaner and lower emitting. In general, the design changes would also make the heaters perform better and be more efficient. The revisions are also expected to streamline the process for testing new model lines by allowing the use of International Standards Organization (ISO)-accredited laboratories and certifying bodies, which will expand the number of facilities that can be used for testing and certification of the new model lines. This action is expected to include the following new residential wood-heating appliances: 
--  Adjustable burn-rate wood heaters
--  Pellet stoves
--  Single burn-rate wood heaters
--  Outdoor hydronic heaters (outdoor wood boilers)
--  Indoor hydronic heaters (indoor wood boilers)
--  Wood-fired, forced-air furnaces
--  Masonry heaters. 

These standards would apply only to new residential wood heaters and not to existing residential wood-heating appliances.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Amendments to Part 63 Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petroleum Refinery Sector Risk and Technology Review and NSPS</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action pertains to the Petroleum Refining industry and specifically to petroleum refinery sources that are subject to maximum achievable control standards (MACT) in 40 CFR part 63, subparts CC (Refinery MACT 1) and UUU (Refinery MACT 2) and new source performance standards (NSPS) in 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ja. Petroleum refineries are facilities engaged in refining and producing products made from crude oil or unfinished petroleum derivatives. Sources include petroleum refinery-specific process units unique to the industry, such as fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCU) and catalytic reforming units (CRU), as well as units and processes commonly found at other types of manufacturing facilities (including petroleum refineries), such as storage vessels and wastewater treatment plants. Refinery MACT 1 regulates hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from common processes such as miscellaneous process vents (e.g., delayed coking vents), storage vessels, wastewater, equipment leaks, loading racks, marine tank vessel loading, and heat exchange systems at petroleum refineries. Refinery MACT 2 regulates HAP from those processes that are unique to the industry including sulfur recovery units (SRU) and from catalyst regeneration in FCCU and CRU. This action primarily proposes: 1) amendments to Refinery MACT 1 and 2 to address our obligation to assess the risk remaining after application of the original standards in accordance with CAA section 112(f)(2); and 2) amendments resulting from EPA's review of developments in practices, processes, and control technologies that have occurred since the time the EPA adopted the refinery MACT standards in accordance with CAA sections 112(d)(6). In addition, it proposes: 1) new requirements related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction to ensure that the MACT standards are consistent with court opinions requiring that standards apply at all times and other Clean Air Act programs; and 2) technical corrections and clarifications for Refinery NSPS Ja. These technical corrections and clarifications were raised in a 2008 petition for reconsideration from the American Petroleum Institute, and we are addressing these petition issues in this action because they also affect sources subject to Refinery MACT 2. On January 16, 2009, the EPA Administrator signed a final rule addressing RTR standards for Refinery MACT 1. Upon further review, we determined that this rule may not have accurately characterized the risk posed by this source category. Therefore, we withdrew the risk and technology portions of the rulemaking (76 FR 42052, July 18, 2011). Subsequently, we began a significant effort to gather additional information in 2010 through a comprehensive industry-wide Information Collection Request (ICR) to gather data on HAP, criteria and other pollutants from all refinery processes sufficient to support both the Refinery MACT and NSPS reviews. Data received in response to the ICR will be used to support the analyses for this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Control of Air Pollution From Motor Vehicles: Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would establish more stringent vehicle emissions standards and reduce the sulfur content of gasoline as part of a systems approach to addressing the impacts of motor vehicles and fuels on air quality and public health.  The rule would result in significant reductions in pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, and air toxics across the country and help state and local agencies in their efforts to attain and maintain health-based National Ambient Air Quality Standards.  These proposed vehicle standards are intended to harmonize with California's Low Emission Vehicle program, thus creating a federal vehicle emissions program that would allow automakers to sell the same vehicles in all 50 states.  The vehicle standards would also coordinate with the light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas standards for model years 2017-2025, creating a nationwide alignment of vehicle programs for criteria pollutant and greenhouse gases.]]></ABSTRACT>

In many nonattainment areas, by 2014, cars and light trucks are projected to contribute 30-45 percent of total nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions, 20-25 percent of total volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, and 5-10 percent of total direct particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions. Importantly, without future controls, by 2020 mobile sources are expected to be as much as 50 percent of the inventories of these pollutants for some individual urban areas.  EPA has estimated that light-duty vehicles will contribute about half of the 2030 inventory of air toxic emissions from all mobile sources. The most recent National-Scale Air Toxics Assessment in 2005, mobile sources were responsible for over 50 percent of cancer risk and noncancer hazard.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act section 202(a) provides EPA with general authority to prescribe vehicle standards, subject to any specific limitations elsewhere in the Act.  In addition, section 202(k) provides EPA with authority to issue and revise regulations applicable to evaporative emissions of hydrocarbons from all gasoline-fueled motor vehicles.   EPA is also using its authority under section 211(c) of the Clean Air Act to address gasoline sulfur controls.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[Approximately 159 million people currently live in counties designated nonattainment for one or more of the NAAQS, and this figure does not include the people living in areas with a risk of exceeding the NAAQS in the future.  These people experience unhealthy levels of air pollution, which are linked with respiratory and cardiovascular problems and other adverse health impacts that lead to increased medication use, hospital admissions, emergency department visits, and premature mortality.  The reductions in ambient ozone and PM2.5 that would result from the proposed Tier 3 standards would provide significant health benefits.  In the absence of additional controls such as Tier 3 standards, many counties will continue to have ambient ozone and PM2.5 concentrations exceeding the NAAQS in the future.   In addition, more than 50 million people live, work, or go to school in close proximity to high-traffic roadways, and the average American spends more than one hour traveling along roads each day.  Exposure to traffic-related pollutants has been linked with adverse health impacts such as respiratory problems (particularly in asthmatic children) and cardiovascular problems. The Tier 3 standards would reduce criteria pollutant and air toxic  emissions from  cars and light trucks, which continue to be a significant contributor to air pollution directly near roads.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Permits and Permits by Rule 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 small sources and minor modifications at large sources in Indian Country. The program is implemented through issuance of preconstruction 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 similar to State minor NSR programs. State minor NSR programs often use general permits or permits by rule, 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 or permit by rule 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 and permits by rule 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 and/or source category permits by rule for the Tribal Minor NSR program for the following five source categories: gasoline dispensing facilities, autobody repair and refinishing shops, hot mix asphalt plants, and rock crushing and screening facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and Identification of New Pathways II</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) program was required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007), which amended the Clean Air Act (CAA). The final regulations for RFS2 were published on March 26, 2010 (75 FR 14670). EPA has previously published clarifications, modifications, and technical amendments to the final RFS2 regulations. This proposed regulation would provide additional clarifications, modifications, and technical amendments to RFS2 and will clarify, modify and technically amend other fuel programs in 40 CFR part 80. This proposed action would assist regulated parties with complying with requirements by clarifying those requirements. This action is not expected to result in significant changes in regulatory burdens or costs. Proposed changes may include the following: 1) Various changes related to biogas, including changes related to the revised compressed natural gas (CNG)/liquefied natural gas (LNG) pathway and amendments to various associated registration, recordkeeping, and reporting provisions. 2) A lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions analysis for renewable electricity, renewable diesel and naphtha produced from landfill biogas. 3) Addresses "nameplate capacity" issues for certain production facilities that do not claim exemption from the 20% greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction threshold. 4) Addresses issues related to crop residue and corn kernel fiber and proposes an approach to determining the volume of cellulosic RINs produced from various cellulosic feedstocks. 5) A lifecycle analysis of advanced butanol and discuss the potential to allow for commingling of compliant products at the retail facility level as long as the environmental performance of the fuels would not be detrimental. 6) Changes to the E15 misfueling mitigation regulations (E15 MMR) at 40 CFR part 80, subpart N.   Among the E15 changes proposed are technical corrections and amendments to sections dealing with labeling, E15 surveys, product transfer documents, and prohibited acts.  We also propose to amend the definitions in order to address a concern about the rounding of test results for ethanol content violations. 7) Changes to the survey requirements associated with the ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are amending the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standard for mercury in the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) area source rule to develop an emission limit for mercury. This limit will replace the mercury switch program as MACT. The States and environmental groups asked the EPA to reconsider the MACT work practice standard for mercury from the 2007 promulgated rule because the switch program has had a much lower success rate than expected, and is unenforceable since only self-certification is required to comply with the MACT. In addition, the basis for the work practice promulgated as MACT in 2007 is no longer valid because mercury emissions can be collected, measured, and controlled at EAF as evidenced by over 30 facilities out of the 82 area EAFs that have measured mercury emissions and one facility that is measuring, collecting, and controlling mercury under a State (NJ) mercury limit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule will address a range of implementation requirements for the 2008 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone, including requirements pertaining to attainment demonstrations, reasonable further progress, reasonably available control technology, reasonably available control measures, nonattainment new source review, emission inventories, and the timing of State Implementation Plan submissions and compliance. Other issues also addressed in this proposed rule are the revocation of the 1997 ozone NAAQS for purposes other than transportation conformity; anti-backsliding requirements that would apply when the 1997 NAAQS are revoked; and routes to terminate the section 185 fee program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 proposed action would authorize uses for the 2013 critical use exemption, and would authorize the amount of methyl bromide that may be produced, imported, or supplied from inventory for those uses in 2013. Absent this rulemaking, production and import of methyl bromide for critical uses would be zero for 2013. EPA takes this action under the authority of the Clean Air Act to reflect a consensus Decision of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in November 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Volume Standards for 2013</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 year for which such applicable volume will apply. The  2013 biomass based diesel (BBD) volume was finalized in a separate action. 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 2013. Entities potentially affected by this final rule are those involved with the production, distribution, and sale of transportation fuels, including gasoline and diesel fuel or renewable fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Heavy-Duty On-Highway and Non-Road Engine and Vehicle Regulation Streamlining and Technical Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will include technical amendments to NHTSA's and EPA's heavy-duty engine and vehicle fuel economy and GHG regulations and technical amendments to EPA's nonroad compression ignition engine "Tier 4" criteria emissions regulations.  The heavy-duty fuel economy and GHG amendments are typographical fixes, clarifications, and revisions to ensure the regulations reflect the contents of the final rule's preamble.  EPA will follow up further by emailing a summary table of the amendments to the EPA portions of the heavy-duty GHG regulations.  The nonroad amendments affect two areas of the Tier 4 program: replacement engines and technical hardship flexibilities.  The replacement engine amendments allow for the continuation of replacement engine programs such as federal and state grant programs to replace very old and highly polluting nonroad engines.  The amendment would allow replacing old dirty engines with clean efficient non-Tier 4 engines, only if Tier 4 replacement engines are impractical.  The technical hardship flexibility amendment allows EPA to grant a limited amount of additional technical hardship flexibility to nonroad equipment manufacturers, only if they continue to meet the existing technical hardship criteria set forth in 40 CFR 1039.625(m). This amendment is needed only because some engine manufacturers have still not been able to provide prototype engines to some nonroad equipment manufacturers on schedule to meet EPA's nonroad Tier 4 final NOx and PM standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Identification of Additional Qualifying Renewable Fuel Pathways III and Modification to the Renewable Fuels Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) 2 program was required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007), which amended the Clean Air Act (CAA). The final regulations for RFS2 were published in the Federal Register on March 26, 2010 (75 FR 14670). EPA has previously published clarifications and modifications, technical amendments, and new pathways, to the final RFS2 regulations. This proposed regulation would provide additional clarifications, modifications, and technical amendments to RFS2 and will clarify, modify and technically amend other fuels programs in 40 CFR Part 80. This proposed action would assist regulated parties with complying with requirements by clarifying those requirements. This proposed action would also propose amendments to Table 1 to Section 80.1426 of the RFS2 regulations to include additional fuel pathways and assign each pathway a D-Code. It would allow producers or importers of fuel produced under these pathways to generate Renewable Identification Numbers under the program, providing that the fuel meets the other requirements for renewable fuel. This proposed action would outline EPA's lifecycle greenhouse gas evaluation, specified in Clean Air Act section 211(o), as amended by EISA for several new pathways. This proposed action would add these pathways to the table of approved fuel pathways.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Residual Risk and Technology Review for Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action addresses the residual risk and technology reviews conducted for national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for flexible polyurethane foam production. The Flexible Polyurethane Foam MACT standard was promulgated in October 1998 (see 63 FR 53980). 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 source category potentially will be assessed for inhalation risks, including cancer risk and incidence, population cancer risk, and non-cancer effects (chronic and acute). EPA also plans to potentially evaluate multipathway risk associated with the source categories with significant levels of persistent and bioaccumulative HAP. The agency will follow the Benzene Policy to identify the source category as low risk, acceptable risk, or unacceptable risk. EPA will then evaluate the effectiveness and cost of additional risk reduction options and make acceptability and ample-margin-of-safety determinations. If the need for additional controls is identified, the standards will include technology, work practice, and/or performance standards as amendments to the existing MACT standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Kraft Pulp Mills NSPS Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 111(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs EPA to review and, if appropriate, revise the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) at least every 8 years after promulgation. This is a review of subpart BB, Standards of Performance for Kraft Pulp Mills, section 60.280 to 60.285, which was promulgated in 1978 and last reviewed in 1986. The subpart is applicable to the following sources in kraft pulp mills that were installed after 1978: digester systems, brown stock washers, evaporator systems, recovery furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks, lime kilns, and condensate stripper systems. The pollutants regulated in this subpart include total reduced sulfur (TRS) compounds and particulate matter (PM). This action is subject to a citizen suit under section 304(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act brought against the US EPA under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5. U.S.C. 701-06. This complaint seeks to compel the Administrator to fulfill her mandatory duty to review the NSPS for new and modified kraft pulp mills.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, EPA may propose to remove the existing special emission reporting requirements for this compound that were established in 2004 when the compound was excluded from the definition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), because these reporting requirements are now considered to be unnecessarily burdensome. This change will allow industrial users of solvents to use it without the burden of reporting emissions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action EPA intends to propose to issue findings of substantial inadequacy for certain States whose SIPs are inconsistent with the CAA and with current EPA rules and policies concerning treatment of a source's excess emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM). In addition, EPA will under this action issue a "SIP call" for each of the States for which a SIP inadequacy is confirmed, which requires the State to revise its SIP as necessary to correct the inadequacy. The SIP call will establish a deadline by which each of these States must submit its corrective SIP revision. A corrective SIP revision will ensure that: (1) all periods of excess emissions, regardless of cause, will be treated as violations subject to EPA enforcement action; and (2) no periods of excess emissions can be automatically exempted from emissions limits.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petroleum Refinery Sector Amendment for Flares</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action EPA plans to conduct a review of the standards dealing with overall flare performance and efficiency at petroleum refineries. Flares are often used at petroleum refineries as a control device for regulated vent streams, as well as to handle non-routine emissions (e.g., leaks, purges, emergency releases); and since the development of the current flare regulations, industry has significantly reduced the amount of waste gas being routed to flares. Generally, this reduction has affected the base load to flares and many are now receiving a small fraction of what the flare was originally designed to receive with only periodic releases of episodic or emergency waste gas that may use up to the full capacity of the flare. Many flare vent gas streams that are regulated by NESHAP and NSPS are often continuous streams that contribute to the base load of a flare; therefore, it is critical for flares to achieve good combustion efficiency at all levels of utilization. The EPA concluded an ad-hoc flare peer review study in the spring of 2012, dedicated to determining parameters for properly designed and operated flares. An eight-person review panel was tasked with answering specific charge questions relating to proper design and operation of steam and air assisted flares. The available data suggest that factors that may affect combustion efficiency and overall flare performance include over-steaming of steam assisted flares, excess aeration of air assisted flares, and maintenance of a stable flame (flame velocity and wind speed). Better flare operation practices will ultimately result in improved combustion efficiencies that have the potential to improve public health by reducing emissions of air toxics and volatile organic compounds that may pose a health risk to vulnerable populations including the young, elderly, and those with respiratory problems. The EPA does not currently plan to include potential flare amendments in RIN 2060-AQ75, "the Petroleum Refinery Sector Risk and Technology Review and NSPS" (described as Item 3 of this Regulatory Plan) because the EPA is currently reviewing the results of the peer review panel and is reaching out to various stakeholders to determine the best approach to ensure a high level of combustion efficiency at flares.  The EPA is also evaluating whether to amend 40 CFR part 63, subparts CC and UUU (a.k.a., Refinery Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) 1 and 2) and the Refinery New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) 40 CFR subpart Ja or to develop a separate set of requirements for flares since there are other industries in addition to the refining industry that rely on flares.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will modify a small portion of 40 CFR 194, "Criteria for the Certification and Re-certification of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant's Compliance with the 40 CFR part 191 Disposal Regulations." 40 CFR part 194, appendix A, Condition 1 currently stipulates that the Option D Panel Closure included in DOE's 1996 Compliance Certification application be implemented to seal filled waste panels in the repository. On September 28, 2011, DOE submitted a Planned Change Request which proposes the replacement of the concrete monolith and mortared explosion wall included in the Option D Panel Closure with an alternative design consisting of steel bulkheads and mined salt backfill. According to DOE, implementation of Option D presents significant technical obstacles, and meets the same operational performance requirements while reducing costs and impacts on waste emplacement activities. Participation is expected from EPA Region VI and OGC.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is reviewing new technical information associated with the new-source limits for toxics emitted from new power plants under the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS).

The new information indicates that there may be technical challenges associated with monitoring mercury emissions at the levels set for new power plants. These new plants would continue to rely on the same proven pollution control technologies to reduce harmful mercury, acid gases, and particle pollution, which will provide important health benefits to the American public.  

The agency believes this information warrants further review and will follow an expedited, open, and transparent process that includes public comment on any proposed changes. The agency will also use its Clean Air Act authority to stay the final standards for new power plants for 90 days during this technical review.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program regulations finalized in 2007 (RFS1) and 2010 (RFS2) were developed in collaboration with refiners, renewable fuel producers, and many other stakeholders.  The RFS compliance program is based on the use of unique renewable identification numbers (RINs) assigned to batches of renewable fuel by renewable fuel producers and importers.  These RINs can then be sold or traded, and used by any obligated party to demonstrate compliance with the applicable standard.  It has recently come to EPA's attention that the production, transfer, and use of invalid RINs has resulted in violations for parties that were not aware that the RINs were invalid.  The rule will propose a voluntary mechanism for ensuring that RINs have been appropriately generated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is in response to four petitions for reconsideration that were received for the  PVC NESHAP that was finalized in April 2012. The petitions identify notice and comment issues as well as several technical consistency issues with the rule. The April 2012 final rule was issued in response to a 2008 settlement agreement with Sierra Club, MEAN, and LEAN to replace the vacated PVC MACT rule. This settlement did not include reconsideration of the existing 2007 PVC area source GACT rule. However, we decided to voluntarily review and revise the 2007 area source rule in conjunction with developing the major source MACT standard. Both industry and environmental petitioners have petitioned for reconsideration of the GACT analysis due to notice and comment.]]></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 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 use of RFG. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final action will exclude a group of four hydrofluoropolyethers from the definition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the basis that, as precursors, these chemical compounds make only a negligible contribution to the formation of tropospheric ozone. The chemical compounds to be excluded are a) HCF2OCF2H (known as HFE134), b) HCF2OCF2OCF2H (known as HFE-236cal2), c) HCF2OCF2CF2OCF2H (known as HFE-338pcc13), and d) HCF2OCF2OCF2CF2OCF2H (known as H-Galden 1040X and also H-Galden ZT 130 (or 150 or 180)). We are also taking comment on issues concerning the chemical compounds' toxicities, global warming potentials, and stratospheric ozone depletion potentials.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subparts H and I of 40 CFR part 61 establish standards under the Clean Air Act for emissions of radionuclides other than radon from Department of Energy (DOE) and other non-DOE federal facilities. The current definition of "effective dose equivalent" refers to a method of calculation in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) publication no. 26. Removing this reference will prevent confusion if EPA incorporates newer ICRP methods for calculating effective dose equivalent in its compliance models.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action revises the voluntary test method for determining volumetric gas flow taking into account the velocity decay near the stack or duct walls. The current method addresses only sources where the flow measurements are made in locations with circular cross-sections. This revised test method addresses flow measurement locations with both circular and rectangular cross-sections, increases the accuracy of the method, and simplifies its application. The primary users of the method are owners and operators of utility units subject to the Acid Rain program and large electric generating units and large non-generating units that are subject to the nitrogen oxide State Implementation Plan call.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action, we plan to amend the heat exchange system requirements of the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutant (NESHAP) for petroleum refineries, 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC, in response to a petition for reconsideration filed by the American Petroleum Institute on the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards we promulgated on October 28, 2009. We proposed amendments to address these issues and other clarifications and technical corrections in subpart CC, as well as the Uniform Standards, 40 CFR part 65, subpart L. This action will finalize amendments in subpart CC only.]]></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>Amendments to Tribal Delegation of Authority Provisions in the Prevention of Significant Deterioration Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <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</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 3, 2010, EPA issued a final rule establishing standards for emissions of hazardous air pollutants from existing stationary compression ignition engines located at major and area sources. On August 20, 2010, EPA finalized standards for emissions of HAP from existing stationary spark ignition engines located at major and area sources. EPA received several petitions to reconsider portions of the 2010 final rules. This action will finalize amendments to the rule to address certain issues raised in the petitions. EPA expects that the final rule will include alternative testing options for certain large spark ignition (generally natural gas-fueled) stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines, management practices for a subset of existing spark ignition stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines in sparsely populated areas, and alternative monitoring and compliance options for the same engines in populated areas. EPA also expects the final rule to include a limited temporary allowance for existing stationary emergency area source engines to be used for peak shaving and non-emergency demand response. In addition, EPA expects to increase the hours that stationary emergency engines may be used for emergency demand response.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Listing of Substitutes for Ozone-Depleting Substances--Fire Protection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This direct final action would list as acceptable (subject to use restrictions) three substitutes for ozone-depleting halons used in the fire suppression and explosion protection sector under EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program. 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. Halons are chemicals that were once widely used in the fire protection sector, but new production has been banned in the U.S. since 1994 because their emissions into the atmosphere are highly destructive to the stratospheric ozone layer. This rulemaking lists three substitutes as acceptable, subject to use restrictions, for ozone-depleting halons in the fire suppression and explosion protection sector. Two of the substitutes are for use as total flooding agents to replace halon 1301, and one substitute is for use as a streaming agent to replace halon 1211. This action provides users of specialized fire protection systems with additional flexibility in choosing alternatives to ozone-depleting halons. The primary users for these fire suppressants are specialty industrial and commercial fire protection applications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reconsideration of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources; Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (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 reconsider 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 proximal (thorough)" inspection of all areas of potential leak within the chemical manufacturing process unit (CMPU); (4) the requirement that process vessels in hazardous air pollution (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 the supplemental proposal EPA requested comment on the six provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2009, EPA finalized a rule allocating hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) allowances for the 2010-2014 control periods (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 rulemaking responds to the Court's decision with respect to the 2012-2014 control periods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Uniform Standards for Storage Vessel and Transfer Operations, Equipment Leaks, Closed Vent Systems, and Control Devices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Organic chemical processing industries such as Oil and Gas, Petroleum Refining, and Chemical production have similar emission sources that are often required to be controlled to similar levels by the same type of control devices and work practice standards. The air pollution control regulatory requirements for these sources have evolved and improved as different New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) have been developed over the years. This has resulted in requirements that are different and in many cases insufficient especially with respect to ensuring continuous compliance. This action will develop and consolidate state-of-the-art uniform standards that may be referenced in future regulatory actions, such as new and revised Control Technique Guidelines documents, NSPS technology reviews, and MACT Risk and Technology reviews for specific source categories within these industries. The uniform standards are expected to include requirements for work practices and equipment standards and for monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. Uniform standards will be developed in this action for the following: 1) equipment leaks and ancillary systems; 2) closed vent systems and control devices; and 3) storage vessels and transfer operations. General provisions will also be updated accordingly in this action. In addition to developing the uniform standards, EPA also expects to develop tools for the proper application of these uniform standards during rule development, including anticipated costs and pollutant emission reductions. The public comment period for this action was extended to September 24, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend Table 1 to section 80.1426 of the RFS2 regulations to include additional fuel pathways and assigns each pathway a D-Code. It allows producers or importers of fuel produced under these pathways to generate Renewable Identification Numbers under the program, providing that the fuel meets the other requirements for renewable fuel. This action outlines EPA's lifecycle greenhouse gas evaluation, specified in Clean Air Act section 211(o), as amended by EISA for several new pathways including: biofuels produced from camolina oil, biofuels produced from several types of energy grasses, renewable gasoline produced from residue and waste cellulosic feedstocks, and biofuels produced from the sugars in specified feedstocks used to produce cellulosic biofuel.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Plan Requirements for Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators Constructed On or Before December 1, 2008 and NSPS: Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 6, 2009, EPA adopted amendments to the September 15, 1997, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Emissions Guidelines (EG) for hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators (HMIWI). The amendments were developed in response to the March 2, 1999, remand of the 1997 HMIWI regulations by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the Court), which requested further explanation of EPA's reasoning in determining the minimum regulatory "floors" for new and existing HMIWI. Sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) require states with existing HMIWI subject to the EG to submit plans to EPA that implement and enforce the EG. State plans to implement the EG adopted on September 15, 1997, are already in place, and revised or new State plans to implement the amended EG adopted on October 6, 2009, are currently undergoing EPA review. The deadline for States to submit revised/new State plans to EPA for review was October 6, 2010. If a State with existing HMIWI does not submit an approvable plan within 2 years after promulgation of the EG, sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA require EPA to develop, implement, and enforce a Federal plan for HMIWI in the State. The EPA adopted a HMIWI Federal plan on August 15, 2000, to implement the September 15, 1997, EG. On April 23, 2012, the EPA proposed amendments to the hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators federal plan to implement the amended emission guidelines adopted on October 6, 2009, for those states that do not have an approved revised/new state plan implementing the emission guidelines, as amended, in place by October 6, 2011. Also on April 23, 2012, the EPA proposed to amend the new source performance standards to better reflect our original intent in the October 6, 2009, final rule in eliminating an exemption during startup, shutdown and malfunction periods from the requirement to comply with standards at all times.  This action will finalize the amendments to the hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators federal plan and amendments to the new source performance standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers: Amendment to the Definition &quot;Regulated NSR Pollutant&quot; Concerning Condensable Particulate Matter</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will amend the definition of "regulated NSR pollutant" in the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations for SIP-approved programs and the Federal PSD program, and the New Source Review (NSR) regulation called the Emission Offset Interpretative Rule. This amendment will correct an inadvertent error that required the inclusion of the condensable PM fraction for "particulate matter emissions" under the PSD regulations and the Emission Offset Interpretive Rule. States that did not require the inclusion of the condensable PM fraction in the measurement of "particulate matter emissions" prior to the 2008 final rule will not be required to add such a new requirement. However, States have the authority to require a more stringent test method (e.g., the inclusion of the condensable PM fraction) if they choose to do so through their State Implementation Plans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modifications to Renewable Fuel Standard and Diesel Sulfur Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will qualify a fuel oil that is used to heat residential, business, commercial, industrial, or military buildings. This would not include fuel oils used to generate process heat, power, or other functions. The fuel oil would be used to generate heat to warm buildings or other facilities where people live, work, recreate, or conduct other activities. This amends the existing definition of heating oil in 40 CFR section 80.1401 to include these fuel oils. This is in addition to the fuel oils currently included in the definition of heating oil, and does not modify or limit the fuel included in the current definition. This rule also applies specific recordkeeping requirements to verify the fuel is used in approved applications. EPA is also amending the requirements under EPA's diesel sulfur program related to the sulfur content of locomotive and marine diesel fuel produced by transmix processors.  These amendments will allow locomotive and marine diesel fuel produced by transmix processors to meet a maximum 500 parts per million (ppm) sulfur standard provided that; the fuel is used in older technology locomotive and marine engines that do not require 15 ppm sulfur diesel fuel, the fuel is used outside of the Northeast Mid-Atlantic Area, and the fuel is kept segregated from other fuel.  These amendments will provide significant regulatory relief for transmix processors while having a neutral or net positive environmental impact.  EPA is also amending the fuel marker requirements for 500 ppm sulfur locomotive and marine (LM) diesel fuel to address an oversight in the original rulemaking where the regulations failed to incorporate provisions described in the rulemaking preamble to allow for solvent yellow 124 marker to transition out of the distribution system.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Heavy-Duty Highway Program: Revisions for Emergency Vehicles and SCR Maintenance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 18, 2001, EPA published a rule promulgating more stringent NOx and PM standards for heavy duty highway engines ("the heavy-duty highway rule"), entitled "Control of Air Pollution from New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards" (66 FR 5001). EPA has previously published clarifications and technical amendments to that final heavy-duty highway rule. This action would provide additional clarification, modifications, and technical amendments to the regulations for heavy-duty highway engines and would clarify, modify, and technically amend some provisions in 40 CFR parts 86 and 1068. This action would assist regulated parties to comply with requirements by clarifying and/or simplifying those requirements. Specifically, this action would provide flexibility for on-highway emergency-response vehicles with respect to emissions of particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen. This action would also amend the requirements for emission-related scheduled maintenance with respect to replacement of diesel exhaust fluid, which is used in selective catalytic reduction control systems. This action is not expected to result in significant changes in regulatory burdens or costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to Ambient Nitrogen Dioxide Monitoring Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) monitoring requirements were revised in February 2010 as part of the revision to the NO2 National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The revised requirements included network design elements that required monitors for characterizing concentrations near major roads, across areawide extents, and in areas with vulnerable and susceptible populations. The required deadline for the establishment of the revised NO2 network was January 1, 2013. The Annual Monitoring Network Plans addressing these revisions are due July 1, 2012, for approval by the Administrator. The EPA is proposing revisions to the deadline for the near-road element of the network which establishes a phased approach that is more practical for States to implement and for EPA to fund. These changes will establish a series of deadlines that collectively implement the near-road network between January 1, 2014, and January 1, 2017, more closely matching the schedule for anticipated EPA grant funding as well as monitoring agency capacity for implementing the new sites. No changes are being proposed for the deadline affecting the areawide and vulnerable and susceptible network elements. Additionally, no changes are being proposed to the population thresholds for monitoring finalized in the 2010 rule. The EPA is also proposing to change the Annual Monitoring Network Plan approval authority from Administrator to Regional Administrator, as was originally intended, which is consistent with the approval authority for other networks characterizing ozone and fine particles, for example.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Secondary Lead Smelters; Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These amendments will fix an inadvertent error that occurred when the Secondary Lead Smelting RTR was added to the eCFR. The final rule regulatory text for the RTR reproduced the entire subpart rather than only including amendatory text and used the same section numbers as the original NESHAP. This was done to aid the public in locating and understanding the entire subpart in one location since many changes were made to the original rule. As a result, the entire subpart was replaced in the eCFR, removing the old sections and replacing them with the new versions. The compliance date for existing sources to meet the requirements of the RTR is January 6, 2014. The Agency intended for those sources to continue complying with the requirements included in the original NESHAP until the compliance date for the RTR amendments arrives. The eCFR no longer contains those requirements due to the inadvertent replacement of the entire subpart. These amendments will add a paragraph to the regulatory text that clarifies sources that must continue complying with the requirements that were in effect prior to the RTR amendments until the compliance date for the RTR amendments arrives.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP): Mercury Cell Chlor-Alkali Plants--Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is a final for the amendments of the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for mercury emissions from mercury cell chlor-alkali plants that were 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 in March 2011, covered technical corrections, revised start and shutdown requirements, and included a proposed additional control option. This action will finalize the amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Emission Guidelines (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 December 19, 2005, and final standards were published on May 10, 2006 (71 FR 27323). A number of individuals filed petitions 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>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>NSPS Equipment Leaks (Subpart VV SOCMI and GGG Petroleum Refineries); Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 16, 2007 EPA published amendments to the new source performance standards for equipment leaks in 40 CFR Part 60, subparts VV, and GGG, and promulgated new subparts VVa and GGGa. After promulgation of the rule we received a petition for reconsideration from the American Chemistry Council (ACC), American Petroleum Institute (API), and National Petrochemical Refiners Association (NPRA), which we granted in part on March 4, 2008. This action will address those reconsideration issues.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This NRPM will propose to withdraw any prior determination or presumption that compliance with the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) or the NOx SIP Call constitutes reasonably available control technology (RACT) or reasonably available control measures (RACM) for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) or sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from electric generating unit (EGU) sources participating in these regional cap-and-trade programs. This rule will propose revisions to preamble guidance in the final Implementation Rule for the 1997 PM2.5 national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) concerning the economic feasibility criteria for determining RACT for sources located within nonattainment areas. The rule will also propose to clarify the situations under which emission reductions from outside of a nonattainment area can be credited toward meeting the Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) requirements for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is the Risk and Technology Review (RTR) for Ferroalloys Production. It will address both EPA's obligation under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to conduct a residual risk review and to conduct a technology review. Under the "technology review" provision of the CAA, 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 the CAA, 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Clean Air Act requires EPA 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 the Clean Air Act, 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 for phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizer were promulgated in June 1999. Facilities subject to these rules were required to be in compliance by June 2002. This action will address both the residual risk and technology reviews for the phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizer source categories. The production processes for these two source categories typically are located at the same facilities.]]></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 new source performance standard (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 offsite 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Residual Risk and Technology Review Amendments to the Secondary Aluminum Production National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Reconsideration of Inclusion of Fugitive Emissions; Reconsideration</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), as well as an administrative stay of the Fugitive Emissions Rule provisions. On March 30, 2011, EPA issued an interim rule that stayed the Fugitive Emissions Rule by reverting the text of the affected sections of the CFR back to the prior rule language. This stay will remain in effect until EPA completes its reconsideration and undertakes any associated rulemaking. 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>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 Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standard for Mineral Wool Production was promulgated on June 1, 1999, and the MACT for Wool Fiberglass Production was promulgated on June 14, 1999. The Clean Air Act requires EPA to evaluate the risk remaining to human health within eight 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 November 4, 2011, and November 30, 2012, respectively. In addition, EPA will be preparing to regulate wool fiberglass area sources under a new NESHAP, expected to be proposed March 15, 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Residual Risk and Technology Review Amendments to the Primary Aluminum Reduction National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action the EPA will conduct a risk assessment to determine if existing Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards for hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from primary aluminum reduction facilities should be strengthened. The EPA will also review technical progress in the primary aluminum reduction source category to determine if newer, better technology for reducing emissions should be required of facilities in this source category. Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs the EPA to conduct a risk assessment of a source category within 8 years of promulgation of the MACT standards for that source category. Section 112(d)(6) of the CAA directs the EPA to review and revise the MACT standards for a source category, as necessary, every 8 years after promulgation of the MACT standards for that source category, taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technologies. The existing National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants (found in 40 CFR part 63, subpart LL) was promulgated in 1997 and applies to the owner or operator of each new pitch storage tank, new or existing potline, paste production plant, or anode bake furnace associated with primary aluminum reduction which is located at a major source, as defined in 40 CFR section 63.2]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities Risk and Technology Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 1, 1995 (60 FR 45948), EPA promulgated the National Emission Standards for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart GG) under section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) sets Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards for existing and new major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions and includes standards to control volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions. 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 source category will be assessed for inhalation risks, including cancer risk and incidence, population cancer risk, and non-cancer effects (chronic and acute). EPA also plans to evaluate multi pathway risk associated with this source category. The agency will follow the Benzene Policy to determine if the source category has low risk, acceptable risk, or unacceptable risk. EPA will then evaluate the effectiveness and cost of additional risk reduction options and make acceptability and ample-margin-of-safety determinations. If the need for additional controls are identified, the standards will include technology, work practice, or performance standards as amendments to the existing MACT standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP): Group IV Polymers and Resins, Pesticide Active Ingredient Production, and Polyether Polyols Production Risk and Technology Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action EPA will perform risk and technology reviews for three National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). These NESHAP are under a deadline consent decree for proposal in November 2011 and promulgation in January 2014: Group IV Polymers and Resins, Pesticide Active Ingredient Production, and Polyether Polyols Production. Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 112(f)(2) and 112(d)(6) require EPA to conduct residual risk and technology reviews. 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 will also remove startup, shutdown, and malfunction exemptions for these source categories, as required by recent court decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will describe how state, local, and tribal agencies will make determinations concerning whether sources/areas are meeting the 1-hr sulfur dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The rule will provide policy and technical information concerning the use of ambient monitoring data and/or air quality modeling information in making these determinations. The rule will establish appropriate monitoring and/or modeling methods, and it will include timelines for states to conduct the required analyses and make the resulting data available for use in implementing the SO2 NAAQS (e.g., for area designations).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this action EPA will perform risk and technology review for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from Offsite Waste and Recovery Operations. The Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 112(f)(2) and 112(d)(6) require EPA to conduct residual risk and technology reviews. Under the "technology review" provision of the CAA section 112, EPA is required to review maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards and to revise them "as necessary (taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technologies)" no less frequently than every 8 years. Under the "residual risk" provision of CAA section 112, EPA must evaluate the MACT standards 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. As part of this NESHAP revision, EPA will also remove startup, shutdown, and malfunction exemptions as required by recent court decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of Hearing-Protector Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed amendments regarding the regulation for the labeling of hearing protection devices at 40 CFR 211 subpart B, for 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 was 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. EPA plans to take final action of this regulation in 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2012, EPA received responses from wool fiberglass companies which conducted furnace emissions testing for chromium compounds under a Clean Air Act section 114 letter. Industry data show that wool fiberglass area sources emit chromium from all furnace types. Emissions of chromium compounds from the wool fiberglass industry's area sources total over 50 pounds per year. Additionally, one major source facility is expected to become an area source through changes to a process downstream and independent of the furnace; one furnace at that source has been measured as emitting over 500 pounds per year of chromium compounds. The agency plans to list and regulate area sources in the Wool Fiberglass source category for all processes that emit HAP. Area sources in this source category are expected to be regulated under this new subpart; major sources will continue to be subject to Part 63 NNN.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, EPA evaluates alternatives to ozone-depleting substances to ensure that they do not increase overall risks to human health and the environment. In accordance with the proposal issued in 2006 and a notice of data availability on carbon dioxide exposure in 2009, this rule finds carbon dioxide (R-744) as an acceptable substitute refrigerant subject to use conditions for use in the motor vehicle air conditioning (MVAC) sector. This final rule revises a previous SNAP determination of R-744 to include safety provisions geared toward preventing exposures to carbon dioxide concentrations above 3 percent in the passenger compartment during a short period of time, and no higher than 4 percent in the passenger breathing zone at any time. This final rule includes references to global technical standards developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International specifying how R-744 should be safely deployed in MVAC systems.]]></ABSTRACT>

The revised CAM rule would have defined when periodic monitoring is created for sources to use in determining compliance status relative to applicable requirements (e.g., emissions limits). The revisions would have specified criteria and procedures that source owners would address in creating effective periodic monitoring. A federal rule would provide for greater consistency in monitoring requirements than can be achieved through processes applied state-by-state and permit-by-permit. The result would also further satisfy the Clean Air Act requirement that EPA require enhanced monitoring sufficient to assure compliance for all major sources.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action promulgated National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Copolymers on 2/13/12. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 24, 2008, EPA promulgated amendments to the Standards of Performance for Petroleum Refineries and new standards of performance for petroleum refinery process units constructed, reconstructed or modified after May 14, 2007. EPA subsequently received three petitions for reconsideration of these final rules. On September 26, 2008, the EPA granted reconsideration and issued a stay for the issues raised in the petitions regarding process heaters and flares. On December 22, 2008, the EPA addressed those specific issues by proposing amendments to certain provisions for process heaters and flares and extending the stay of these provisions until further notice. EPA also proposed technical corrections to the rules for issues that were raised in the petitions for reconsideration. On September 12, 2012, EPA finalized those amendments and technical corrections and lifted the stay of all the provisions granted on September 26, 2008, and extended until further notice on December 22, 2008.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to review  the science upon which the primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) are based and the standards themselves 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 standards for fine particles (PM2.5 generally referring to particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers, µm), EPA revised the level of the 24-hour PM2.5 standard to 35 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) and retained the level of the annual PM2.5 standard at 15 µg/m3. With regard to the primary standards for coarse particles (PM10, generally referring to particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 µm), EPA retained the 24-hour PM10 standard and revoked the annual PM10 standard. With regard to the secondary PM standards, EPA made them identical in all respects to the primary PM standards, as revised. In subsequent litigation, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanded the primary annual PM2.5 standard and secondary PM2.5 standards to EPA. The EPA is responding to the court's remands as part of the current review of the PM NAAQS. EPA initiated the current review in 2007 and issued a proposed rule in June 2012 (77 FR 38890). Based on its review of the air quality criteria and the 2006 standards, EPA proposed to revise the primary annual PM2.5 standard by lowering the level to within a range of 12.0 to 13.0 µg/m3 in conjunction with retaining the primary 24-hour PM2.5 standard. The EPA also proposed to retain the current primary 24-hour PM10 standard. With regard to the secondary PM standards, EPA proposed to retain the current standards (i.e., 24-hour and annual PM2.5 standards and 24-hour PM10 standard) to provide protection for non-visibility welfare effects and to establish a distinct secondary standard to address PM-related visibility impairment.]]></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>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 initiated the current periodic review of NO2 air quality criteria with a call for information in the Federal Register (FR). On May 3, 2006, EPA 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. This review was be limited to only the secondary standards; the primary standards for SO2 and NO2 were reviewed separately.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final action revises the rule for implementation of the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) to address several provisions vacated 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. The rule also addresses: (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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action lists 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 listed 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 appliance manufacturers more options with less overall environmental and health impact than current refrigerants.]]></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 included the required reviews under sections 111 and 112. Because the existing regulations were narrow in scope, the reviews resulted in broadening the scope of operations and emission points covered by the NSPS and MACT.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Review of New Source Performance Standards for Nitric Acid Plants--Subpart G</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 111(b)(1)(B) of the Clean Air Act mandates that EPA review and if appropriate revise existing New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) at least every 8 years. This NSPS was initially promulgated in 1971. This NSPS was reviewed in 1979 and 1984. On January 2010, consent decree was entered into US District Court between EPA and several environmental groups that required EPA to review the NSPS. This action reviewed and revised the existing NSPS, resulting in new requirements for facilities built or modified after October of 2011. The final rule for this NSPS review was signed on May 14, 2012 and published in the Federal Register August 14, 2012 (77 FR 48433).]]></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 finalized 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final action adds trans 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene to the list of negligibly reactive compounds under the definition of volatile organic compounds. Data indicate that the photochemical reactivity of this compound is low enough that it can be regarded as negligibly reactive in ozone formation and will not contribute to violations of the ozone national ambient air quality standard. Another compound, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (which had been initially proposed along with trans 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene), will be addressed separately in a new rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs EPA to conduct risk assessments on each source category subject to maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards, and to determine if additional standards are needed to reduce residual risks, to be completed 8 years after promulgation. Section 112(d)(6) of the CAA requires EPA to review and revise the MACT standards as necessary, taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies, to be done at least every 8 years. The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant (NESHAP) for the Pulp and Paper Industry (subpart S) was promulgated in 1998 and also has not been reviewed; this action finalized those amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), on behalf of the Department of Transportation, issued final rules to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017 and beyond. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to improve fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025, building on the success of the first phase of the National Program for these vehicles for model years 2012-2016. The final rule, consistent with the President's request, responded to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA received additional information after proposal which indicated the possibility of proposing a lower emission limit. A supplemental action was proposed 1/20/2012 which addressed those limits for six industrial source categories regulated by two National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP): Steel Pickling and Chromium Electroplating. The final rule tightened limits for hexavalent chromium emissions from hard and decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks by 30-50 percent.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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 authorizes uses for the 2012 critical use exemption from the phase-out of methyl bromide, and 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 in November 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Portland Cement Manufacturing National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and New Source Performance Standard (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. We issued a notice denying in part and granting in part the petitions for reconsideration on May 17, 2011. We also entered into a settlement agreement with the Portland Cement Association related to proposing a compliance extension for the rule. The proposed amendments were published on July 18, 2012 and would adjust the way cement kilns continuously monitor particulate matter (PM) emissions, would adjust certain emissions limits, would revise monitoring and recordkeeping requirements, and would extend the compliance deadline for existing kilns. The comment period ended August 17, 2012 and under the settlement agreement, the final rule amendments are scheduled for promulgation on December 20, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule determined that onboard refueling vapor recovery is in widespread use in the motor vehicle fleet effective May 20, 2012. The Administrator also waived the requirement for states to implement Stage II gasoline vapor recovery at service stations in Serious and above ozone attainment  areas. ORVR and Stage II are largely redundant systems that capture VOC and HAP emissions that may escape during vehicle refueling. ORVR is being phased in to more and more new vehicles and its widespread use allows states to seek EPA approval to phase out Stage II control programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation Conformity Rule: MOVES Regional Grace Period Extension</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking provides an extension to the current grace period before the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) model is required for use in regional conformity analyses. In December 2009, EPA released the MOVES emissions model. Under the current conformity rule, new conformity analyses after March 2012 must be based on MOVES, but this will be difficult or impossible for some areas to meet. State and local governments need additional time to incorporate MOVES into their planning without negative conformity consequences. Transportation conformity is a Clean Air Act requirement that transportation activities be consistent with a State's plan for achieving EPA's national ambient air quality standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 21, 2011, EPA issued a final rule establishing standards for emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from boilers and process heaters located at major sources of HAP. EPA also issued on March 21, 2011 a Notice of Reconsideration listing issues that additional opportunity for public review and comment should be provided. Subsequently, EPA received more than 25 petitions to reconsider, clarify, and amend certain provisions of the final rule. On December 23, 2011, EPA proposed amendments to the final standards after analyzing the information submitted in the petitions. This action will finalize the reconsideration of the Boiler MACT.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NSPS and EG: Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units: Reconsideration and Proposed Amendments; Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials That Are Solid Waste: Final Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 21, 2011, EPA issued a final rule establishing new source performance standards and emission guidelines for commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units. EPA also issued on March 21, 2011, a Notice of Reconsideration listing issues that additional opportunity for public review and comment should be obtained. Subsequently, we received more than 15 petitions to reconsider, clarify, and amend certain provisions of the final rule. This action will finalize the amendments using the information submitted in the petitions. Addressed within this final rule, the Agency is providing clarification to the Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials Final Rule (RIN 2050-AG44) pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, which was issued on March 21, 2011 (76 FR 15456). This final rule identified which non-hazardous secondary materials are, or are not, solid wastes when burned in combustion units for the purpose of determining whether Clean Air Act section 112 or 129 requirements apply to the combustion of those materials.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Area Source Standards for Prepared Feeds Manufacturing--Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 112(k) of the Clean Air Act requires the development of standards for area sources that account for 90 percent of the emissions in urban areas of the 30 urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. The Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy lists prepared feeds manufacturing as an area source category. EPA issued national emission standards for control of HAP for the Prepared Feeds Manufacturing area source category on January 5, 2010 (75 FR 522). In determining Generally Available Control Technology (GACT), EPA assumed that the vast majority of prepared feeds manufacturers were already meeting the cyclone design efficiency standard promulgated in the final rule. In light of issues raised by industry with regard to the certification requirements associated with the design efficiency standard, this action revised the rule to clarify, consistent with the rulemaking record and preamble of the final rule, that GACT for all large sources is the equipment practice of using a cyclone, but that the design efficiency applies only to new sources. This action also clarified certain management practices in 63.11621(a)(1) and 63.11621(d).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action updated a rule requirement in the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program rule for HFO-1234yf to use the latest edition of a standard from Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International. The revised standard requires use of a more robust fitting that is less likely to leak than that currently cited in the March 29, 2011, SNAP rule allowing use of HFO-1234yf as a refrigerant in motor vehicle air conditioning (76 FR 17488). The update to the standard referenced in the rule reduces emissions and ensures consistency with industry standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Federal Implementation Plans to Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 8, 2011, EPA published in the Federal Register the final Federal Implementation Plans to Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter (76 FR 48208). This rule uses a cap and trade approach to reduce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions and replaces the Clean Air Interstate Rule, which was promulgated in 2005 and remanded to EPA in 2008 by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. This final rule corrects unit-level discrepancies in some state emission budgets and new unit set-asides; amends the effective date of the assurance provisions from 2012 until 2014; and aligns allocations to units under consent decrees.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Great Lakes Steamship Repower Incentive Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would simplify an existing incentive program that encourages owners of Great Lakes steamships to repower those steamships with cleaner Tier 2 or later diesel engines (40 CFR 1043.95(b)4)(iv). This simplification will automatically permit a steamship operated exclusively on the Great Lakes as of December 31, 2011, to continue to use residual fuel oil for a limited time after it has been repowered with cleaner diesel engines. Because the diesel engines are so much cleaner than the steam engines they would replace, this program will result in reductions of particulate matter and sulfur oxides emissions from the time of replacement, even while they are operated on the higher sulfur residual fuel, and provide human health and welfare benefits for the people who live in the Great Lakes region.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings--Addition of Dimethyl Carbonate, Benzotrifluoride, and Hexamethyldisiloxane to Table of Reactivity Factors</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2008 national emission standards for aerosol spray paints rule established national reactivity based emission standards for the aerosol coatings category (aerosol spray paints) under the Clean Air Act. A provision in the rule allows regulated entities to petition the Agency to add compounds and corresponding reactivity factors to a Table of Reactivity Factors. In response to previous petitions, EPA previously added several compounds and reactivity factors on June 23, 2009 (74 FR 29595). This proposed action and accompanying direct final action propose to add three additional compounds: dimethyl carbonate, benzotrifluoride and hexamethyldisiloxane, and their associated reactivity factors, based on petitions received from regulated entities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nonconformance Penalties for On-Highway Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will establish nonconformance penalties (NCPs) for heavy-duty motor vehicle engines subject to the nitrogen oxide (NOx) standards in 40 CFR 86.007-11. As specified in section 206(g) of the Clean Air Act, the regulations would allow manufacturers paying the NCP to certify engines with NOx emissions above the applicable standard. The regulations establishing NCPs were originally adopted in 1985 and have been amended five times since to include new emission standards. This rule will allow for NCPs to apply for NOx emissions standards for model year 2012 and later engines. EPA has established per engine penalties up to $3, 775 for emission rates between 0.20 and 0.50 g/hp-hr NOx for 2012 model year heavy-duty engines. The maximum penalties will increase by several hundred dollars per engine each year for later model years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Clean Air Act Section 211(o), the Environmental Protection Agency is required to determine the applicable volume of biomass-based diesel to be used in setting annual percentage standards under the renewable fuel standard program for years after 2012. We proposed an applicable volume requirement for 2013 of 1.28 billion gallons on July 1, 2011. In order to sufficiently evaluate the many comments on the proposal from stakeholders as well as to gather additional information to enhance our analysis, we did not finalize this volume requirement in the January 9, 2012, rulemaking setting the 2012 percentage standards. On September 27, 2012, EPA finalized an applicable volume of 1.28 billion gallons of biomass-based diesel for calendar year 2013.]]></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. The rule was proposed on May 3, 2011 (76 FR 24976).Under this action EPA also proposed 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 comments on the combined requirements of the 2 rules. It also avoids double counting either costs or environmental benefits of the separate rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is taking direct final action on revisions to its heavy-duty diesel regulations that will enable emergency vehicles, such as dedicated ambulances and fire trucks, to perform mission-critical lifesaving work without risking that abnormal conditions of the emission control system could lead to decreased engine power, speed, or torque.  The revisions will allow manufacturers to request and EPA to approve modifications to emission control systems on emergency vehicles so they do not interfere with the vehicles' missions.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is intended to complete the initial air quality designations for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. When the EPA promulgates a new or revised NAAQS, the EPA is required to designate all areas in the country as nonattainment, attainment, or unclassifiable, pursuant to section 107(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act. As the first step in the process, each State governor is required to recommend air quality designations, including the appropriate boundaries for areas, to the EPA. If the EPA is considering modifications to a State's initial recommendation, the EPA is required to notify the State of any such intended modifications to its recommendation not less than 120 days prior to the EPA's promulgation of the final designation. EPA sent letters to all States in early December 2011 to notify them of EPA's intended designations. At about that time, the State of Illinois submitted certified air quality data for 2011 that EPA did not have time to consider before sending the early December letters.  In late January 2012, after evaluating the new information, EPA sent letters to Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin notifying them that EPA intended to designate all or portions of certain counties in those States as the Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI, nonattainment area based on the air quality information submitted by Illinois in early December 2011. In a rule signed on April 30, 2012, EPA promulgated the initial air quality designations for almost all areas in the United States, including areas of Indian country.  Because 120 days had not passed since the January 2012 letters to Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin regarding the potential Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI, nonattainment area, EPA did not designate those counties in the April 30, 2012, final rule. This rule also corrects inadvertent errors in the regulatory text regarding the designation of two areas in Kentucky and one area in Arkansas in the ozone designation rule signed on April 30, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 402(c)(3) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to regulate renovation or remodeling activities that create lead-based paint hazards in target housing (most pre-1978 housing), pre-1978 public buildings, and commercial buildings. In a  2008 rule,  EPA addressed 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. The  current rulemaking effort will address renovation or remodeling activities in the remaining buildings described in TSCA section 402(c)(3); i.e., public buildings built before 1978 and commercial buildings that are not child-occupied facilities. In 2010, EPA issued an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) that solicited public comment on lead-safe work practices and other requirements EPA should consider for renovations on the exteriors of public and commercial buildings and whether lead-based paint hazards are created by interior renovation, repair, and painting projects in public and commercial buildings. EPA is currently developing a proposal to address lead-based paint hazards that may be created by renovations on the exterior or in the interiors of public and commercial buildings. As part of a settlement agreement reached in 2009 and most recently amended in September 2012, EPA will hold a public meeting in 2013 to discuss the issues under consideration for this rulemaking. In addition, after considering the information it gathers and its related analyses, EPA has agreed to either sign a proposed rule covering renovation, repair, and painting activities in public and commercial buildings, or determine that these activities do not create lead-based paint hazards by July 1, 2015. If EPA issues a proposed rule, EPA has further agreed to take final action on or before the date 18 months after the proposal is published.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) and intends to initiate a stakeholder process to provide input on the design and scope of possible reporting under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). EPA anticipates that States, industry, public interest groups and members of the public will be participants in the stakeholder process. The stakeholder process will bring stakeholders together to discuss the information needs and potential reporting under TSCA. As EPA considers potential reporting under TSCA, EPA intends to seek input from the stakeholders to help ensure reporting burdens and costs are minimized, and that information already available is considered in order to avoid duplication of efforts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Expansion of Crop Grouping Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In phases, EPA is revising the current 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. EPA is currently developing a proposed rule--the fourth in the series.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Formaldehyde; Third-Party Certification Framework for the Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 7, 2010, the Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act was enacted. This law amends Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to establish specific formaldehyde emission limits for hardwood plywood, particleboard, and medium-density fiberboard, which are identical to the California emission limits for these products. The law further requires EPA to promulgate implementing regulations by January 1, 2013. This rulemaking includes provisions related to third-party testing and certification. EPA intends to propose a third-party certification program that will help ensure compliance with the emissions standards. A separate Regulatory Agenda entry (RIN 2070-AJ92) covers the other regulations to implement the statutory formaldehyde emission standards for hardwood plywood, medium-density fiberboard, and particleboard sold, supplied, offered for sale, or manufactured (including imported) in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas at room temperature that has a strong odor.  It is found in resins used in the manufacture of composite wood products (i.e., hardwood plywood, particleboard, and medium-density fiberboard). It is also found in household products such as glues, permanent press fabrics, carpets, antiseptics, medicines, cosmetics, dishwashing liquids, fabric softeners, shoe care agents, lacquers, plastics, and paper product coatings.  It is a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes.  Examples of sources of formaldehyde gas inside homes include cigarette smoke, unvented, fuel-burning appliances (gas stoves, kerosene space heaters), and composite wood products made using formaldehyde-based resins.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act, which created title VI of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), established formaldehyde emission standards for composite wood products (hardwood plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and particleboard) sold, supplied, offered for sale or manufactured in the United States.  Under TSCA title VI, manufacturers of composite wood products must comply with specific formaldehyde emission standards, and their compliance must be verified by a third-party certifier (TPC).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[TSCA title VI establishes national formaldehyde emission limits for hardwood plywood, particleboard, and medium-density fiberboard and EPA has not been given the authority to change the limits. However, EPA will evaluate various implementation alternatives during the course of this rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

            <RISKS><![CDATA[EPA is currently evaluating the risks presented by exposure to formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products (hardwood plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and particleboard) in excess of the statutory limits. 

Formaldehyde is both an irritant and a known human carcinogen.  Depending on concentration, formaldehyde can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, even when exposure is of relatively short duration.  In the indoor environment, sensory reactions and various symptoms as a result of mucous membrane irritation are some potential effects from exposure.  There is also evidence that formaldehyde may be associated with changes in pulmonary function and increased risk of asthma in children.  In addition, formaldehyde is a by-product of human metabolism; therefore, endogenous levels are present in the body.]]></RISKS>

        <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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Cadmium; Health and Safety Data Reporting Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 8(d)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 30, 2010, EPA granted a TSCA section 21 citizen's petition to use section 8(d) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to require producers, importers, and processors of cadmium and cadmium compounds to submit to EPA lists or copies of ongoing and completed unpublished health and safety studies concerning cadmium and cadmium compounds that are reasonably likely to be incorporated into consumer products. The petition also asked the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to take certain actions, including the establishment of standards restricting cadmium in children's products, especially metal jewelry. The health and safety studies that EPA would require under this action would be used to help determine if a potential hazard exists from cadmium or cadmium compounds and whether a product should be banned as a hazardous substance under guidelines established by CPSC. Implementing its response to the petition EPA intends to promulgate a final TSCA section 8(d) rule requiring reporting from manufacturers (including importers), and also intends to propose a rule to require reporting from processors and distributors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Formaldehyde Emissions Standards for Composite Wood Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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. This rulemaking will address the mandate to promulgate regulations to implement the statutory formaldehyde emission standards for hardwood plywood, medium-density fiberboard, and particleboard sold, supplied, offered for sale, or manufactured (including imported) in the United States. As directed by the statute, EPA will also consider provisions relating to, among other things, laminated products, products made with no added formaldehyde resins, testing requirements, product labeling, chain of custody documentation and other recordkeeping requirements, and product inventory sell-through provisions. A separate Regulatory Agenda entry (RIN 2070-AJ44) covers the mandate for EPA to promulgate regulations to address requirements for accrediting bodies and third-party certifiers.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas at room temperature that has a strong odor.  It is found in resins used in the manufacture of composite wood products (i.e., hardwood plywood, particleboard, and medium-density fiberboard). It is also found in household products such as glues, permanent press fabrics, carpets, antiseptics, medicines, cosmetics, dishwashing liquids, fabric softeners, shoe care agents, lacquers, plastics, and paper product coatings.  It is a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes.  Examples of sources of formaldehyde gas inside homes include cigarette smoke, unvented, fuel-burning appliances (gas stoves, kerosene space heaters), and composite wood products made using formaldehyde-based resins.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act, which created title VI of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), established formaldehyde emission standards for composite wood products (hardwood plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and particleboard) sold, supplied, offered for sale or manufactured in the United States.  Under TSCA title VI, manufacturers of composite wood products must comply with specific formaldehyde emission standards, and their compliance must be verified by a third-party certifier (TPC).

In addition, Congress directed EPA to consider a number of elements for inclusion in implementing the regulations.  These elements include:  labeling, chain of custody requirements, sell-through provisions, ultra low-emitting formaldehyde resins, no added formaldehyde-based resins, finished goods, third-party testing and certification, auditing and reporting of TPCs, recordkeeping, enforcement, laminated products, and exceptions from the requirements of regulations promulgated for products and components containing de minimis amounts of composite wood products.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[TSCA title VI establishes national formaldehyde emission limits for hardwood plywood, particleboard, and medium-density fiberboard and EPA has not been given the authority to change the limits. However, EPA will evaluate various implementation alternatives during the course of this rulemaking.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[EPA is currently evaluating the costs and benefits of this action.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[EPA is currently evaluating the risks presented by exposure to formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products (hardwood plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and particleboard) in excess of the statutory limits. 

Formaldehyde is both an irritant and a known human carcinogen.  Depending on concentration, formaldehyde can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, even when exposure is of relatively short duration.  In the indoor environment, sensory reactions and various symptoms as a result of mucous membrane irritation are some potential effects from exposure.  There is also evidence that formaldehyde may be associated with changes in pulmonary function and increased risk of asthma in children.  In addition, formaldehyde is a by-product of human metabolism; therefore, endogenous levels are present in the body.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA intends to propose a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for related chemicals known commonly as nonylphenols (NPs) and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs). The SNUR would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process certain NP and NPE chemicals 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. The NP and NPE chemicals that would be subject to this SNUR are toxic to aquatic organisms, and can be used in a variety of industrial and consumer applications that lead to releases to the environment.]]></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 groundwater 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>Pesticides; Registration Requirements for Antimicrobial Pesticide Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1999, EPA proposed to establish procedures primarily directed at implementing provisions of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requiring EPA to issue regulations streamlining its management of the registration process for antimicrobial pesticides, and the main body of the proposal addressed antimicrobial procedures and policies. EPA also proposed to implement a number of general provisions of FIFRA that were not specific to antimicrobial pesticides. In 2001, EPA finalized the provisions not specific to antimicrobial pesticides. This final rule did not promulgate proposed provisions aimed at addressing antimicrobial registration procedures and policies. The implementation of Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA) addressed registration procedures and policies for all pesticides, including antimicrobial pesticides, and the Agency has determined that a final rule for the remaining provisions in the 1999 proposal is not necessary. Accordingly, EPA intends to withdraw the unfinalized proposed provisions covered by this action in the near future.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Data Requirements for Antimicrobials</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2008, EPA proposed revisions to 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; to 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 to establish or maintain a tolerance or exemption from the requirements of a tolerance for a pesticide chemical residue. This part also establishes procedures and other general requirements 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>Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs); Exemption for Those Derived Through Genetic Engineering From Sexually Compatible Plants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2010, EPA determined that the record for this action, which was originally proposed in 1994, does not address the scientific information developed since the original proposal. Consequently, the record would not provide adequate, up-to-date support for the proposed rule. In 1994, EPA believed that the proposed exemption for plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs) derived through genetic engineering from plants sexually compatible with the recipient plant had the potential to cover a number of low-risk products. However, experience in the last decade has shown that such PIPs have not been developed in great numbers. If EPA were to pursue such an exemption in the future, the Agency would issue a new proposed rule. As such, EPA 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>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 the 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. In 2011, EPA proposed to formally declare a prion to be a pest and to amend its regulations to add prion to the list of pests (40 CFR part 152). A supplemental notice also proposed to amend the product performance data requirements (i.e., efficacy data) to specifically list prion-related products and announced the availability of draft efficacy testing guidance for comment. EPA believes that regulating prion-related products protects human health and the environment against unreasonable adverse effects and ensures that such products are effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In January 2011, 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. EPA proposed to update the regulations to accommodate statutory and procedural changes that have occurred since 1984; to make minor changes to clarify the regulations; and to make changes that would simplify the procedures and reduce burdens for certain data submitters. The proposal did not otherwise propose to make substantive changes to the requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under a settlement agreement resolving litigation on EPA's 2006 rule regarding protections for subjects in human research involving pesticides, EPA proposed changes in January 2011 that included broadening the applicability of the rules to cover human testing with pesticides submitted to EPA under any regulatory statute it administers; disallowing participation in third-party pesticide studies by subjects who cannot consent for themselves; and identifying considerations to be addressed in EPA science and ethics reviews of proposed and completed human research with pesticides.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certain Polybrominated Diphenylethers; Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) and Test Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 28, 2012, EPA proposed a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as well as a test rule under section 4 of TSCA, for certain polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs). Under a SNUR, persons who intend to engage in any significant new use would be required to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that new use. The required notification would enable EPA to evaluate the significant new use uses of these chemical substances and, if necessary, appropriately address risks to human health or the environment by limiting or prohibiting those uses before they occur. EPA proposed to designate processing as a significant new use of tetraBDE, pentaBDE, hexaBDE, heptaBDE, octaBDE, and nonaBDE. EPA also proposed that manufacturing, importing, or processing of these 6 PBDEs as part of an article be designated as a significant new use. In addition, EPA proposed to designate manufacturing, importing (including as part of an article), and processing of a seventh PBDE, decabromodiphenyl ether (decaBDE) for any use, as a significant new use. Finally, EPA proposed to require that anyone who manufactures, imports, or processes c-pentaBDE, c-octaBDE, or c-decaBDE after December 31, 2013 conduct testing to obtain and subsequently submit to EPA 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) voluntarily phased out their production. 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 manufacture and importation of decaBDE for most uses in the United States by December 31, 2012, and to end manufacture and import for all uses by the end of 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2011, EPA issued a proposed significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 14 glymes. The proposed SNUR would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process these chemical substances for the designated significant new uses to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing such manufacture, import, or processing. The required notification would provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity before it occurs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Microorganisms: General Exemptions From Reporting Requirements; 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 Toxic 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 established a mechanism (40 CFR 725.67) for the public to petition the Agency to propose additional recipient microorganisms for such exemptions. Those regulations also 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 received petitions to add Trichoderma reesei and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens to the list of microorganisms that may be used as recipient microorganisms in order to qualify for the exemption from full notification and reporting procedures under the TSCA for new microorganisms that are being manufactured (defined by statute to include import) for introduction into commerce. Based on EPA's evaluation of these petitions, EPA has made a preliminary determination that certain strains of both microorganisms will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment when used as a recipient microorganism provided that certain criteria for the introduced genetic material and the physical containment conditions are met. Therefore, EPA proposed to add two additional microorganisms to the list of recipient microorganisms that are eligible for exemptions from full reporting for the manufacture (including import) of new microorganisms.]]></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[On March 28, 2012, EPA proposed a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 9 benzidine-based chemical substances (dyes), di-n-pentyl-pthalate (DnPP) and alkanes, C12-13, chloro (CASRN 71011-12-6). Under a SNUR, persons who intend to engage in any significant new use would be required to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that new use. The required notification would enable EPA to evaluate the significant new use uses of these chemical substances and, if necessary, appropriately address risks to human health or the environment by limiting or prohibiting those uses before they occur. EPA proposed to add nine chemicals (dyes) to the benzidine-based chemical substances (dyes) Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) at 40 CFR section 721.1660. That amendment would not revoke the exemptions granted at 40 CFR section 721.1660(a)(2) for uses as laboratory stains and other analytical reagents. However, the amendment would 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 identified in the proposed SNUR. EPA also proposed to designate any use of DnPP, except as a chemical standard for laboratory use, as a significant new use. In addition, EPA proposed to designate any use of alkanes, C12-13, chloro (CASRN 71011-12-6) a significant new use.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Reporting Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA proposed to require electronic reporting of certain information that must be submitted under the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA). Under this proposal, EPA would require that test data developed under a TSCA section 4 test rule or an enforceable consent agreements, TSCA section 8(a) Preliminary Assessment Information Rule (PAIR) information, and TSCA section 8(d) health and safety data be submitted electronically. In addition, EPA also proposed amendments to TSCA section 5 reporting regulations at 40 CFR 720, 40 CFR 723, and 40 CFR 725 to require 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, reduce the administrative costs associated with submission and recordkeeping required for the rules, and establish standards 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>Significant New Use Rule (SNUR); HBCD (Hexabromocyclododecane) Used in Textiles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 23, 2012, EPA proposed a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and 1,2,5,6,9,10- hexabromocyclododecane (collectively referred to as HBCD). Under a SNUR, persons who intend to engage in any significant new use would be required to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that new use. The required notification would enable EPA to evaluate the significant new use uses of these chemical substances and, if necessary, appropriately address risks to human health or the environment by limiting or prohibiting those uses before they occur. EPA proposed to designate as a significant new use any use of HBCD in consumer textiles other than for use in motor vehicles (which is ongoing). EPA also proposed to revoke the Article Exemption described in 40 CFR 721.45(f) for persons who would import or process HBCD in consumer textiles other than for use in motor vehicles. HBCD is a brominated flame retardant used in polystyrene foam for thermal insulation boards, in electrical and electronic applications, and 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Significant New Use Rule for Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonates and Long-Chain Perfluoroalkyl Carboxylates Used as Part of Carpets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 15, 2012, EPA proposed a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFAS) and certain long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (LCPFAC) chemical substances. Under a SNUR, persons who intend to engage in any significant new use would be required to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that new use. The required notification would enable EPA to evaluate the significant new use uses of these chemical substances and, if necessary, appropriately address risks to human health or the environment by limiting or prohibiting those uses before they occur. EPA proposed to designate processing as a significant new use of certain PFAS chemical substances that have completed the TSCA new chemical review process but have not yet commenced production or import. EPA also proposed to designate manufacturing, importing, or processing for use as part of carpets or for treating carpet (e.g., for use in the carpet aftercare market) as a significant new use of certain LCPFAC chemical substances. EPA also proposed to revoke the Article Exemption described in 40 CFR section 721.45(f) for persons that import the LCPFAC chemical substances as part of carpets. Studies have found PFAS chemicals in very small amounts in the blood of the general human population as well as in wildlife. Although most of the health and environmental studies have focused primarily on perfluorooctyl sulfonates (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), analysis of the structure of these compounds indicates that the results of those studies may be applied to a larger category of PFAS and LCPFAC chemicals. EPA believes that the chemical similarity between PFOS and PFAS raises the likelihood that health and environmental concerns are present for PFAS, and that LCPFAC compounds may degrade to PFOA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is developing a rule to require chemical manufacturers (including importers) to submit unpublished health and safety data on diisocyanates. These chemicals have been identified by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) and recommended for testing consideration by the Interagency Testing Committee (ITC). Sixty-nine diisocyanates from the ITC list will be added to the 8(d) Health and Safety Rule. There is also an established regulation and process for imposing this one-time reporting requirement.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Testing of Bisphenol A (BPA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Bisphenol A (BPA), a high production volume chemical, is a reproductive, developmental, and systemic toxicant in animal studies and is weakly estrogenic. Following consideration of public comments received on an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) published July 26, 2011, EPA will determine whether to develop a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) seeking comment on testing requirements under consideration. As discussed in the ANPRM, the NPRM would identify specific protocols for toxicity testing to determine the potential for BPA to cause adverse effects in environmental organisms at low concentrations, and/or identify specific protocols for environmental sampling and monitoring 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>Synchronizing the Expiration Dates of the Pesticide Applicator Certificate 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 Federal Plan, pesticide applicators may be issued an EPA certificate which allows them to apply RUPs in areas 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 expiration of the underlying certificate that it was based on, thereby requiring the applicator to resubmit the same information to EPA, showing no new demonstration of competency, in order to renew the EPA certificate. Through this action, EPA will 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 did not involve any other substantive changes to the regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Microbial Pesticide Definitions and Applicability; Clarification and Availability of Test Guideline</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2011, EPA proposed to clarify the distinction between "isolates" and "strains," and the requirements applicable to new isolates, which are considered to be new active ingredients under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Additional proposed revisions to regulatory text include several minor corrections to words and references. EPA also announced and sought comment on the final microbial pesticide test guideline that further explains the existing data requirement to deposit a sample in a nationally recognized culture collection. Collectively, the changes are expected to enhance the ability of industry to efficiently manage their microbial pesticide registration submissions.]]></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 has completed a rulemaking that incorporates 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 amendments  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>

        <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 promulgate a Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) to 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. Elemental mercury is converted to methyl mercury in the environment and is a potent neurotoxin. Mercury is no longer used in these products (except one battery-powered, motor-aspirated psychrometer which is currently manufactured and not covered by the rule). Elemental mercury in products can be released to the environment during manufacturing, use, recycling, and/or disposal. EPA considers a resumption of manufacture, import, or processing of any of the covered devices to be a significant new use.]]></ABSTRACT>

The purpose of the Partner Vetting System is to help ensure that USAID funds and other resources do not inadvertently benefit individuals or entities that are terrorists, supporters of terrorists or affiliated with terrorists, while also minimizing the impact on USAID programs and its implementing partners. In order to apply the PVS to USAID assistance, USAID is amending 22 CFR part 226.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Participation by Religious Organizations in USAID Programs </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[USAID is revising part 205 to more accurately reflect current Establishment Clause Jurisprudence with respect to the use of Federal Funds for inherently religious activities. The purpose of this regulatory action is to amend 22 CFR part 205, Participation by Religious Organizations in USAID Programs, to ensure compliance with the Establishment Clause, as applied domestically.  Currently, 22 CFR part 205 is more restrictive than relevant Federal case law and relevant legal opinions issued by the Department of Justice.  This amendment to 22 CFR part 205 eliminates restrictions on USAID funding that are not consistent with applicable law and replaces those restrictions with the requirement that USAID programs which include the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of structures that USAID knows will be used for religious activities must comply with the requirements of the Establishment Clause, as applied domestically.  This regulatory action will help ensure that USAID funds are furnished in a manner consistent with the Establishment Clause, as applied domestically.]]></ABSTRACT>

The U.S. Department of Transportation and U.S. Department of Justice are expected to adopt the guidelines as enforceable standards in separate rulemakings for the construction and alteration of passenger vessels covered by the ADA.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 504 of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires the Access Board to issue accessibility guidelines for the construction and alteration of passenger vessels covered by the law to ensure that the vessels are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities (42 U.S.C. 12204).]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Title II of the ADA applies to state and local governments and title III of the ADA applies to places of public accommodation operated by private entities.  The ADA covers designated public transportation services provided by state and local governments and specified public transportation services provided by private entities that are primarily engaged in the business of transporting people and whose operations affect commerce. (See 42 U.S.C. 12141 to 12147 and 12184.)  Passenger vessels that provide designated public transportation services or specified public transportation services such as ferries and excursion vessels, and passenger vessels that are places of public accommodation such as vessels that provide dinner or sightseeing cruises are covered by the ADA.

Titles II and III of the ADA require the DOT and DOJ to issue accessibility standards for the construction and alteration of passenger vessels covered by the law that are consistent with the guidelines issued by the Access Board. (See 42 U.S.C. 12134 (c), 12149 (b), and 12186 (c).) The DOT has reserved a subpart in its ADA regulations for accessibility standards for passenger vessels in anticipation of the Access Board issuing these guidelines. (See 49 CFR part 39, subpart E.)  When DOT and DOJ issue accessibility standards for the construction and alteration of passenger vessels covered by the ADA, vessel owners and operators are required to comply with the standards.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In developing the proposed accessibility guidelines, the Access Board has received and considered extensive input from passenger vessel owners and operators, individuals with disabilities, and other interested parties for more than a decade. The Access Board convened an advisory committee comprised of passenger vessel industry trade groups, passenger vessel owners and operators, disability advocacy groups, and state and local government agencies to advise how to develop the accessibility guidelines. The committee submitted its report to the Access Board in 2000.  In addition, over the years, the Access Board issued an ANPRM and three versions of draft accessibility guidelines and conducted in-depth case studies on various passenger vessels.  The Access Board solicited and analyzed public comments on these documents in developing the proposed guidelines and regulatory impact analysis.  All the published documents together with public comments are available on the Access Board's website at: http://www.access-board.gov/pvaac/.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The compliance costs for certain types of vessels would include: (1) the difference between the cost of constructing a vessel in the absence of the proposed guidelines and the cost of constructing a vessel complying with the guidelines and (2) the additional operation and maintenance costs incurred by vessel owners and operators as a result of complying with the guidelines.  For certain large cruise ships, the compliance costs would be estimated based on the number of standard guest rooms and revenues that would be lost when the cruise ships would be replaced by new vessels complying with the proposed guidelines.  According to the cruise industry, two guest rooms with mobility features occupy the same square footage as three standard guest rooms resulting in the loss of one standard guest room for every two guest rooms with mobility features.  The Board's preliminary estimate of the cost of the draft proposed rule they range from $4 million in 2013 to $45 million in 2012 discounted at 7 percent.  The estimate for 2012 is higher than any other year because the methodology assumes that existing vessels would be replaced at the end of their expected service life  and a large number of existing vessels are beyond their expect service life so a disproportionate share of the compliance costs are front loaded in the first year.     

The proposed guidelines would afford individuals with disabilities the opportunity to travel on passenger vessels for employment, transportation, public accommodation, and leisure.  By promoting equality of opportunity, the proposed guidelines would afford individuals with disabilities to achieve greater participation in our society, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency.  The proposed guidelines promote our national values of equity, human dignity, and fairness, the benefits of which are impossible to quantify.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish accessibility guidelines to ensure that sidewalks, pedestrian street crossings, pedestrian signals, and other facilities for pedestrian circulation and use constructed or altered in the public right-of-way by State or local governments are accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.  The rulemaking in RIN 3014-AA41 that would establish accessibility guidelines for shared use paths that are designed for bicyclists and pedestrians and are used for transportation and recreation purposes is merged with this rulemaking.  A second notice of proposed rulemaking (Second NPRM) would propose to add provisions for shared use paths to the accessibility guidelines for pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way.  The U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Transportation, and other Federal agencies are expected to adopt the accessibility guidelines for pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way as enforceable standards in separate rulemakings for the construction and alteration of facilities covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Architectural Barriers Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Telecommunications Act Accessibility Guidelines; Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would update in a single document the accessibility guidelines for telecommunication equipment and customer premises equipment issued in 1998 under section 255 of the Telecommunications Act of 1966, and the accessibility standards for electronic and information technology issued in 2000 under section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.  Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act requires manufacturers of telecommunication equipment and customer premises equipment to ensure that the equipment is designed, developed, and fabricated to be accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if readily achievable.  Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires Federal agencies to ensure that electronic and information technology developed, procured, maintained, or used by the agencies allows individuals with disabilities to have comparable access to and use of information and data as afforded others who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the Federal agency.  The Federal Communications Commission has issued regulations (47 CFR parts 6 and 7) implementing Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act that are consistent with the accessibility guidelines for telecommunication equipment and customer premises equipment.  The Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council has incorporated the accessibility standards for electronic and information technology in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR Chapter 1).  The Federal Communications Commission and Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council are expected to update their regulations in separate rulemakings when the accessibility guidelines for telecommunication equipment and customer premises equipment and accessibility standards for electronic and information technology are updated.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Since the Access Board first issued the standards and the guidelines, technology has evolved and changed. The Board issued the (Section 508) Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards in December 2000, 65 FR 80500 (December 21, 2000), and the Telecommunications Act Accessibility Guidelines for telecommunications equipment and customer premises equipment in February 1998, 63 FR 5608 (February 3, 1998).  The Board has since decided to update and revise these guidelines and the standards together to address changes in technology and to make both documents consistent.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 794 (d) (Section 508) requires that when developing, procuring, maintaining, or using electronic and information technology, each federal department or agency must ensure, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the department or agency, that electronic and information technology (regardless of the type of medium) allows individuals with disabilities to have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use of the information and data by others without disabilities.   Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 47 U.S.C. 153, 255 (Section 255) requires telecommunications manufacturers to ensure that telecommunications equipment and customer premises equipment are designed, developed, and fabricated to be accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities when it is readily achievable to do so.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In developing the ANPRMs, the Board has solicited various stakeholders' views and practices.  The Access Board formed the Telecommunications and Electronic and Information Technology Advisory Committee (TEITAC) in 2006 to review the existing guidelines and standards and to recommend changes. TEITAC's 41 members comprised a broad cross-section of stakeholders, including representatives from industry, disability groups, and a number of government agencies in the U.S. and abroad -- the European Commission, Canada, Australia, and Japan.  Recognizing the importance of standardization across markets worldwide, TEITAC coordinated its work with standard-setting bodies in the U.S. and abroad, such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). TEITAC members addressed a range of issues, including new or convergent technologies, market forces, and international harmonization.  On April 3,2008, TEITAC presented its report to the Board. The report recommended revisions to the Board's Section 508 standards and Section 255 guidelines. The report is available on the Board's website at www.access-board.gov/sec508/refresh/report/.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The Access Board is seeking input from the public on costs and benefits associated with the standards, and working with an outside contractor to assess costs and benefits associated with the proposed rule and to support the preliminary regulatory impact assessment that will accompany the proposed rule. 

The Information and Communication Technology Standards and Guidelines will promote open government for all people, regardless of disability status, by providing federal agencies with standards to ensure that when they procure, develop, maintain or use electronic and information technology, that citizens and employees who are individuals with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access to and use of the information and data by others without disabilities.

The Access Board expects that the Information and Communication Technology Standards and Guidelines will have international impacts.  Accordingly, the agency has incorporated into its rulemaking process extensive outreach efforts to include industry representatives, disability groups, standard-setting bodies in the U.S. and abroad such as the World Wide Web Consortium, and other countries such as representatives from the European Commission, Canada, Australia, and Japan.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish accessibility guidelines for camping facilities, picnic facilities, viewing areas, trails, and beach access routes to ensure that the facilities are accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.  The guidelines would apply to facilities covered by the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) that are constructed or altered by Federal agencies, including the Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, and U.S. Forest Service, as well as facilities constructed or altered by other entities on behalf of Federal agencies pursuant to a concession contract, agreement, or other arrangement.  The Department of Defense is expected to adopt the guidelines as enforceable standards in a separate administrative action for facilities covered by the ABA that are constructed or altered by or on behalf of the Army Corps of Engineers.  The General Services Administration is expected to adopt the guidelines as enforceable standards in a separate rulemaking for facilities covered by the ABA that are constructed or altered by or on behalf of other Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines for Transportation Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would update the accessibility guidelines for buses, over-the-road buses, and vans covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).  The accessibility guidelines for other transportation vehicles covered by the ADA, including vehicles operated in fixed guideway systems (e.g., rapid rail, light rail, commuter rail, and intercity rail) would be updated in the future.  The guidelines ensure that transportation vehicles covered by the ADA are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.  The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued enforceable standards (49 CFR part 37) that apply to the acquisition of new, used, and remanufactured transportation vehicles, and the remanufacture of existing transportation vehicles covered by the ADA.  DOT is expected to update its standards in a separate rulemaking to be consistent with the updated guidelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Under section 510 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C.794f), the Access Board, in consultation with the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, is required to issue standards that contain minimum technical criteria to ensure that medical diagnostic equipment used in or in conjunction with medical settings such as physicians' offices, clinics, emergency rooms, and hospitals are accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.  The statute provides that the standards must allow for independent access to and use of the medical diagnostic equipment by individuals with disabilities to the maximum extent possible. Section 510 of the Rehabilitation Act requires the standards to be issued not later than 24 months after the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148, 124 Stat. 570).The statutory deadline for issuing the standards was March 23, 2012.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 4203 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148, 124 Stat. 570) amended title V of the Rehabilitation Act, which establishes rights and protections for individuals with disabilities, by adding section 510.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In developing the NPRM, the Access Board has considered and will continue to consider alternatives proposed by a variety of stakeholders.  First, the Access Board considered approaches contained in the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation's ANSI/AAMI HE 75:2009, "Human factors engineering-Design of medical devices" in developing the proposed standards.  ANSI/AAMI HE 75 is a recommended practice that provides guidance on human factors design principles for medical devices. In particular, Chapter 16 of ANSI/AAMI HE 75 provides guidance on accessibility for patients and health care professionals with disabilities (Chapter 16 of ANSI/AAMI HE 75 is available at: http://www.aami.org/he75/).   The Access Board's proposed standards do not reference the guidance in chapter 16 of ANSI/AAMI HE 75 because the guidance is not mandatory.   The Access Board seeks to harmonize its standards and guidelines with voluntary consensus standards and plans to participate in future revisions to ANSI/AAMI HE 75.

In addition, the Access Board has consulted closely with the Department of Justice and the Food and Drug Administration in the development of the proposed standards, and plans to continue to work closely with them in the development of the final rule.  The Access Board has also established an Advisory Committee to make recommendations to the Board on how to address issues raised in the public comments on the proposed rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The proposed standards address many of the barriers that have been identified as affecting the accessibility and usability of diagnostic equipment by individuals with disabilities. For example, the proposed standards would facilitate independent transfers by individuals with disabilities onto and off of diagnostic equipment, and enable them to maintain their independence, confidence, and dignity, lessening the need for health care personnel to assist individuals with disabilities when transferring on and off of diagnostic equipment.  The proposed standards would improve the quality of health care for individuals with disabilities and ensure that they receive examinations, diagnostic procedures, and other health care services equal to those received by individuals without disabilities. 

The Access Board has prepared a preliminary regulatory assessment for the proposed standards, which is available on the Access Board's web site at: http://www.accessboard.gov/medical-equipment.htm. The preliminary assessment compares costs of select medical diagnostic equipment with and without accessibility features in the market. The Access Board is seeking input from the public on costs and benefits associated with these proposed standards to support a final regulatory impact assessment that will accompany the final rule.

Section 510 of the Rehabilitation Act does not address who is required to comply with the standards. Compliance with the standards would not be mandatory unless other agencies adopt the standards as mandatory requirements for entities under their jurisdiction. In July 2010, the Department of Justice issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) announcing that it was considering amending its Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations to ensure that equipment and furniture are accessible to individuals with disabilities. See 75 FR 43452 (July 26, 2010). The ANPRM noted that the ADA has always required the provision of accessible equipment and furniture, and that the Department has entered into settlement agreements with medical care providers requiring them to provide accessible medical equipment. The ANPRM stated that when the Access Board has issued accessibility standards for medical diagnostic equipment, the Department would consider adopting the standards in its ADA regulations. The ANPRM also stated that if the Department adopts the Access Board's accessibility standards for medical diagnostic equipment, it would develop scoping requirements that specify the minimum number of accessible types of equipment required for different medical settings.  At that time, the impact of scoping and application of the proposed standards can be more fully assessed.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Accessibility Guidelines for Shared Use Paths </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish accessibility guidelines for shared use paths that are designed for bicyclists and pedestrians and are used for transportation and recreation purposes.  This rulemaking is merged with the rulemaking in RIN 3014-AA26 that would establish accessibility guidelines for pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way.  A second notice of proposed rulemaking (Second NPRM) in RIN 3014-AA26 would propose to add provisions for shared use paths to the accessibility guidelines for pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way.  The U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Transportation, and other Federal agencies are expected to adopt the accessibility guidelines for pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way as enforceable standards in separate rulemakings for the construction and alteration of facilities covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and 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>

In this context, the new rulemaking will only address latency requirements through a re-proposal of certain provisions of the co-location NPRM, 3038-AC92.]]></ABSTRACT>

Specifically, the recommendation would require registrants and registered entities supervised by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion to conduct an annual stress test as prescribed by this proposed rule.  In addition to the annual stress test requirement, such institutions would be subject to certain reporting and disclosure requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The staff is considering recommending that the Commission proposes to adopt new regulations and amend existing regulations to require enhanced customer protections, risk management programs, internal monitoring and controls, capital and liquidity standards, customer disclosures, and auditing and examination programs for futures commission merchants (FCMs).  The proposal also addresses certain related issues concerning derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs) and chief compliance officers (CCOs).  The proposed rules will afford greater assurances to market participants that: customer segregated funds and secured amounts are protected; customers are provided with appropriate notice of the risks of futures trading and of the FCMs with which they may choose to do business; FCMs are monitoring and managing risks in a robust manner; the capital and liquidity of FCMs are sufficient to safeguard their continued operations; and the auditing and examination programs of the Commission and the self-regulatory organizations (SROs) are monitoring the activities of FCMs in a prudent and thorough manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

These amendments add the CFTC and the SEC (together referred to as the Agencies) to the list of Federal agencies that are required to promulgate regulations relating to the development and implementation of identity theft programs under the FCRA.  The rules implement section 621 of the FCRA by requiring financial institutions and creditors that are regulated by either or both of the Agencies to develop and implement written identity theft programs to detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft in connection with the opening of certain accounts or certain existing accounts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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) Defining swap execution facilities (SEFs) under section 721 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which added new CEA section 1a(50); and (ii) creating registration and core principle requirements for SEFs under section 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which added new CEA section 5h. The Commission's proposed rules implement 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 if adopted 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[The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposed regulations to implement certain statutory provisions enacted by title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  Specifically, in accordance with section 727 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Commission proposed regulations that would define the criteria for grouping swaps into separate swap categories and would establish methodologies for setting appropriate minimum block sizes for each swap category.  In addition, the Commission proposed further measures under part 43 of the Commission's regulations to prevent the public disclosure of the identities, business transactions, and market positions of swap market participants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exemptive Order Regarding Compliance With Certain Swap Regulations </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission issued a notice of Proposed Exemptive Order (and Request for Comment) under which the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) would grant, pursuant to section 4(c) of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), temporary exemptive relief in order to allow non-U.S. swap dealers and non-U.S. major swap participants to delay compliance with certain entity-level requirements of the CEA (and Commission regulations promulgated thereunder), subject to specified conditions.  Additionally, with respect to transaction-level requirements of the CEA (and Commission regulations promulgated thereunder), the relief would allow non-U.S. swap dealers and non-U.S. major swap participants, as well as foreign branches of U.S. swap dealers and major swap participants, to comply only with those requirements as may be required in the home jurisdiction of such non-U.S. swap dealers and non-U.S. major swap participants (or in the case of foreign branches of a U.S. swap dealer or U.S. major swap participant, the foreign location of the branch) for swaps with non-U.S. counterparties.  This relief would become effective concurrently with the date upon which swap dealers and major swap participants must first apply for registration and expire 12 months following the publication of this proposed order in the Federal Register.  Finally, U.S. swap dealers and U.S. major swap participants may delay compliance with certain entity-level requirements of the CEA (and Commission regulations promulgated thereunder) from the date upon which swap dealers and major swap participants must apply for registration until January 1, 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration of Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) adopted regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) that establish the process for the registration of swap dealers (SDs) and major swap participants (MSPs, and collectively with SDs, Swaps Entities) and that require Swaps Entities to become and remain members of a registered futures association.  The Commission also adopted regulations that define an "associated person" of an SD or MSP as a natural person and that implement the prohibition on a Swaps Entity permitting an associated person who is statutorily disqualified from registration from effecting or being involved in effecting swaps on behalf of the Swaps Entity.  The Commission adopted these regulations in accordance with section 4s of the CEA, which was recently added to the CEA by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>End-User Clearing Exception</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 finalized a rule stating the manner in which end users are to submit such notification, and defining the meaning of the term "commercial risk" in this context.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CFTC published 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 interim final rule alerted counterparties that these swaps may be subject to reporting rules and ensured the preservation of data relating to those swaps pending implementation of further rules."]]></ABSTRACT>

The amendments to part 39 also 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.  Amendments to part 1 update the definitions of "clearing member" and "clearing organization."]]></ABSTRACT>

Further, section 210(c)(8)(H)(iii) of the Act requires the Chairperson of the FSOC to prescribe the regulations, in consultation with the FDIC, in the absence of action by the Agencies.  Because more than 24 months has elapsed since the enactment of the Act without the promulgation of such regulations, the Commission is withdrawing this item from the Unified Agenda]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 1025 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the CFPB is authorized to supervise insured depository institutions with total assets of more than $10 billion, their affiliates, and certain service providers for compliance with Federal consumer financial laws and for other purposes. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act calls for coordination between the CFPB and the prudential regulators in exercising their supervisory authorities. For certain smaller insured depository institutions, section 1026 of the Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the CFPB, among other things, to include examiners in examinations conducted by the prudential regulators to assess compliance with Federal consumer financial laws on a sampling basis. The CFPB expects to begin developing proposed rules to clarify certain aspects of these provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (Regulation C)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1094 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) amends the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), which requires certain financial institutions to collect and report information in connection with housing-related loans and applications they receive for such loans. The amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act expand the scope of information relating to mortgage applications and loans that must be compiled, maintained, and reported under HMDA, including the ages of loan applicants and mortgagors and information relating to the points and fees payable at origination, the difference between the annual percentage rate associated with the loan and  benchmark rates for all loans, the term of any prepayment penalty, the value of real property to be pledged as collateral, the term of the loan and of any introductory interest rate for the loan, the presence of contract terms allowing nonamortizing payments, the origination channel, and the credit scores of applicants and mortgagors.  The Dodd-Frank Act also provides authority for the CFPB to require other information, including identifiers for loans, parcels, and loan originators.  The CFPB expects to begin developing proposed regulations concerning the data to be collected and appropriate format, procedures, information safeguards, and privacy protections for information compiled and reported under HMDA.  The CFPB may consider additional revisions to its regulations to accomplish the purposes of HMDA.]]></ABSTRACT>

GPR cards are a prepaid financial product that have been increasing in popularity and that some consumers now use in a manner similar to a debit card that is linked to a traditional checking account.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the CFPB anticipates proposing a rule to implement its supervisory program for nonbank covered persons. Under section 1024 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB is authorized to supervise certain nonbank covered persons for compliance with Federal consumer financial laws and for other purposes. Under section 1024(a)(1)(B) of the Dodd-Frank Act, for certain markets, the supervision program generally will apply only to "larger participant[s]" of these markets. The contemplated regulations would help establish the scope of the CFPB's nonbank supervision program by defining who is a larger participant in certain markets for consumer financial products or services. This will be the third in a series of larger participant rulemakings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009/Ability to Pay (Regulation Z)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 25, 2011, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) issued a final rule that, among other things, amended the provisions of Regulation Z that implement the requirement in the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (Credit Card Act) that card issuers consider a consumer's ability to pay (ATP) before opening a new credit card account or increasing the credit limit on an existing account. These amendments expanded the pre-existing independence standard applicable to consumers under the age of  21 to all consumers, regardless of age. The CFPB issued a proposed rule that further amends the ATP provisions of Regulation Z to address concerns that the current rule unduly limits the ability of spouses and partners not working outside the home to obtain credit cards based on spousal/partner income. The proposal eliminates the independent ability-to-pay requirement for consumers and applicants age 21 or older and instead permits card issuers to consider income and assets to which a consumer or applicant has a reasonable expectation of access. Following the review and assessment of comments on the CFPB's proposal, it intends to issue a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 1053(c) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the CFPB is authorized to issue a temporary cease and desist order against a person subject to a notice of charges if: (1) The violation specified in the notice of charges is likely to cause the person to be insolvent or otherwise prejudice the interests of consumers before the completion of the underlying proceedings or (2) the person's books and records or so incomplete or inaccurate that the CFPB is unable to determine the financial condition of that person or the details or purpose of any transaction or transactions that may have a material effect on that person's financial condition. Such temporary order may require the person to cease and desist from any violation or practice, or to take affirmative action to correct its practices or records, and is appealable in Federal district court within 10 days of its service. The CFPB is developing proposed rules to clarify certain procedural aspects of these provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disclosures For Remittance Transactions (Regulation E)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CFPB published in the Federal Register on February 7, 2012, a final rule to implement section 1073 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) to create a comprehensive new Federal consumer protection regime for remittance transfers by U.S. consumers to individuals and businesses in foreign countries. Consistent with the statute, the final rule requires remittance transfer providers to provide certain disclosures, cancellation rights, and error resolution procedures. In August 2012, the CFPB published a final rule providing additional guidance regarding what companies are not subject to the rule because they do not provide remittance transfers in the "normal course of business" and modifying certain requirements as applied to remittance transfers scheduled several days in advance. The CFPB is now working on an additional rulemaking in which it is proposing to revise three provisions of the rule:  (1) Errors resulting from incorrect account numbers provided by senders of remittance transfers; (2) the disclosure of certain foreign taxes and third-party fees; and (3) the disclosure of sub-national, foreign taxes.  The Bureau will also propose a brief extension of the effective date of the rule until 90 days after the Bureau finalizes the proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CFPB has recodified regulations implementing Federal consumer financial laws as a series of interim final rules in chapter X of title 12 of the CFR. Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for 14 consumer financial protection laws from 7 transferor agencies to the CFPB as of July 21, 2011. Pursuant to that authority, the CFPB has recodified existing regulations implementing certain portions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, certain portions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Interstate Land Sales and Full Disclosure Act, the Consumer Leasing Act, certain portions of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, subsections 43(b)-(f) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Truth in Lending Act, and section 626 of the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009. The CFPB's interim final rules made no substantive changes to the regulations of the agencies from which the rulemaking authority transferred, but made nomenclature, technical, and other conforming changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act and consolidated multiple versions of the regulations under those statutes where rulewriting authority previously had been split across multiple agencies. Changes included, for example, revisions to references to the transferor agency, internal cross-references, addresses for filing applications and notices, and references to the scope of the CFPB's authority as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act.  The CFPB may make technical amendments to the recodified regulations, if necessary. OMB has determined that the CFPB's re-codification as Regulation V, 12 CFR 1022, of certain pre-existing regulations implementing portions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act should be classified as a "major" rulemaking under the Congressional Review Act.  Thus, the priority of the CFPB's restatement of Regulation V is "Other Significant."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to TILA and FIRREA Concerning Appraisals </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CFPB is participating in interagency rulemaking processes with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to develop proposed regulations to implement the amendments made by the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) concerning appraisals. The amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act to TILA require creditors to obtain an appraisal, including a physical property visit by a certified appraiser, before extending higher-risk mortgage credit. The TILA amendments also contain new provisions concerning appraisal independence, the portability of appraisal reports, and charging of customary and reasonable fees. The amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act to FIRREA require new minimum requirements to be applied by states in the registration, reporting, and supervision of appraisal management companies. The FIRREA amendments further require implementing regulations for new quality control standards for automated valuation models to ensure a high level of confidence in the estimates produced by the valuation models, protect against the manipulation of data, seek to avoid conflicts of interest, require random sample testing and reviews, and address any other factor that the agencies determine to be appropriate.

As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Board published an interim final rule implementing the mandatory requirements relating to appraisal independence on October 28, 2010. Further action with respect to this rulemaking is being addressed through the interagency rulemaking process.

The interagency process began with publication by the Board, CFPB, FDIC, FHFA, NCUA, and OCC (collectively, the Agencies) in August 2012 of a proposed rule relating to appraisal requirements for higher-risk mortgages. The Agencies proposed to amend Regulation Z, which implements TILA, to provide that, for mortgages with an annual percentage rate that exceeds the average prime offer rate by a specified percentage, creditors must obtain an appraisal or appraisals meeting certain specified standards, provide applicants with a notification regarding the use of the appraisals, and give applicants a copy of the written appraisals used. The comment period for the proposed rule ended on October 15, 2012, except that the comment period for that portion of the proposal relating to proposed information collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act closed on November 5, 2012. The Agencies are working to issue a final rule concerning these appraisal requirements for higher-risk mortgages. The Agencies also are continuing their work to develop proposals to implement the Dodd-Frank Act's amendments to FIRREA concerning appraisal management company registration and quality control standards for automated valuation models.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>High-Cost Mortgage and Homeownership Counseling Amendments to the Truth in Lending Act &amp; Homeownership Counseling Amendments to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) amended the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) by expanding the types of mortgage loans that are subject to the protections of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA), by revising and expanding the triggers for coverage under HOEPA, and by imposing additional restrictions on HOEPA mortgage loans, including a pre-loan counseling requirement. The Dodd-Frank Act also amended TILA and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) by imposing certain other requirements related to homeownership counseling. The CFPB has proposed to amend Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) and Regulation X (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) to implement the Dodd-Frank Act's amendments to TILA and RESPA.  The comment period for the proposed rule originally ended on September 7, 2012, except that the comment period for the portion of the proposal relating to proposed information collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act closed on October 15, 2012. On September 6, 2012 the CFPB issued a notice extending the comment period to November 6, 2012 for certain specific aspects of the proposal. The CFPB is working to issue a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CFPB published for public comment in August 2012 a proposed rule amending Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) to implement amendments to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The proposal would implement statutory changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act to Regulation Z's current loan originator compensation provisions, including a new additional restriction on the imposition of any upfront discount points, origination points, or fees on consumers under certain circumstances. In addition, the proposal implements additional requirements imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act concerning proper qualification and registration or licensing for loan originators. The proposal also implements Dodd-Frank Act restrictions on mandatory arbitration and the financing of certain credit insurance premiums. Finally, the proposal provides additional guidance and clarification under the existing regulation's provisions restricting loan originator compensation practices, including guidance on the application of those provisions to certain profit-sharing plans and the appropriate analysis of payments to loan originators based on factors that are not terms but that may act as proxies for a transaction's terms. The comment period for the proposed rule ended on October 16, 2012, except that the comment period for that portion of the proposal relating to proposed information collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act closed on November 6, 2012. The CFPB is working to issue a final rule.  The CFPB will issue at a later time proposed regulations on anti-steering provisions that TILA section 129B(c)(3) requires the CFPB to adopt.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mortgage Servicing (Regulation X; Regulation Z)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CFPB has proposed to amend Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and the official interpretation of the regulation. The proposed amendments would implement the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) provisions regarding mortgage loan servicing. Specifically, the CFPB's Regulation Z proposal implements Dodd Frank Act sections addressing initial rate adjustment notices for adjustable- rate mortgages (ARMs), periodic statements for residential mortgage loans, and prompt crediting of mortgage payments and response to requests for payoff amounts. The proposed revisions would also amend current rules governing the scope, timing, content, and format of current disclosures to consumers occasioned by interest rate adjustments of their variable-rate transactions.

The CFPB also has proposed to amend Regulation X, which implements the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (RESPA) and add a supplement setting forth an official interpretation of the regulation. The proposed amendments implement the Dodd-Frank Act provisions regarding mortgage loan servicing. Specifically, the proposal requests comment regarding proposed additions to Regulation X to address six servicer obligations: (1) to correct errors asserted, and provide information requested, by mortgage loan borrowers; (2) to alert consumer to possible servicer imposition of force-placed insurance and ensure that a reasonable basis exists to charge for it; (3) to establish reasonable information management policies and procedures; (4) to provide information about mortgage loss mitigation options and foreclosure to delinquent borrowers; (5) to provide delinquent borrowers access to servicer personnel with continuity of contact about the borrower's mortgage loan account; and (6) to evaluate borrowers' complete applications for available loss mitigation options. The Regulation X proposal would also modify and streamline certain existing general and servicing-related provisions of Regulation X. For instance, the proposal would revise provisions relating to a mortgage servicer's obligation to provide disclosures to borrowers in connection with a transfer of mortgage servicing, and a mortgage servicer's obligation to manage escrow accounts, including the obligation to advance funds to an escrow account to maintain insurance coverage and to return amounts in an escrow account to a borrower upon payment in full of a mortgage loan. The comment period for the proposed rules ended on October 9, 2012, except that the comment period for that portion of the proposal relating to proposed information collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act closed on November 16, 2012. The CFPB is working to issue final rules.

The CFPB is also participating in an interagency process among Federal financial services regulators to consider broader issues regarding national servicing standards.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Escrow Accounts (Regulation Z)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2011, a proposed rule to implement certain amendments to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (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 Board's proposal would implement the Dodd Frank Act's disclosure requirements regarding escrow accounts. The Board's proposal also would exempt certain loans from the statute's escrow requirement, pursuant to authority in the Dodd-Frank Act. The primary exemption would apply to mortgage loans extended by creditors that operate predominantly in rural or underserved areas and meet certain other prerequisites. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the rulemaking authority for the TlLA generally transferred from the Board to the CFPB on July 21, 2011. The CFPB is working to issue a final rule. The CFPB, in a separate rulemaking (see RIN 3170-AA32), issued a final rule postponing the implementation of the disclosures included in the Board's proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TILA Ability to Repay (Regulation Z)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) published for public comment on May 11, 2011, a proposed rule amending Regulation Z to implement amendments to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Regulation Z currently prohibits a creditor from making a higher-priced mortgage loan without regard to the consumer's ability to repay the loan. The proposal would implement statutory changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act that expand the scope of the ability-to-repay requirement to cover any consumer credit transaction secured by a dwelling (excluding an open-end credit plan, timeshare plan, reverse mortgage, or temporary loan). In addition, the proposal would establish standards for complying with the ability-to-repay requirement, including by making a "qualified mortgage." The proposal also implements the Dodd-Frank Act's limits on prepayment penalties. Finally, the proposal would require creditors to retain evidence of compliance with this rule for three years after a loan is consummated. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the rulemaking authority for the TILA generally transferred from the Board to the CFPB on July 21, 2011. On June 5, 2012, the CFPB issued a notice to reopen the comment period until July 9, 2012, to seek comment on certain new data and information submitted during or obtained after the close of the original comment period. The CFPB is working to issue a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TILA/RESPA Mortgage Disclosure Integration (Regulation X; Regulation Z)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 1032(f), 1098, and 1100A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) direct the CFPB to issue proposed rules and forms that combine certain disclosures that consumers receive in connection with a mortgage loan under the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Consistent with this requirement, the CFPB has proposed to amend Regulation X (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) and Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) to establish new disclosure requirements and forms in Regulation Z for most closed-end consumer credit transactions secured by real property. In addition to combining the existing disclosure requirements and implementing new requirements in the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB's proposed rule provides extensive guidance regarding compliance with those requirements. The proposal had two comment periods. Comments on the proposed revisions to the definition of the finance charge and the proposed compliance date for the new Dodd-Frank Act disclosures were due September 7, 2012. Comments on all other aspects of the proposal were due November 6, 2012. On September 6, 2012, the CFPB issued a notice extending the comment period to November 6, 2012, for the proposed revisions to the definition of the finance charge. The CFPB is working to issue a final rule. The CFPB issued the final rule to implement the compliance dates for the new Dodd-Frank Act disclosures that were proposed in this proposal in a separate rulemaking, as noted elsewhere in this regulatory agenda (see RIN 3170-AA32).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Credit Card Pre-Opening Account Fees (Regulation Z)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulation Z generally limits the total amount of fees that a credit card issuer may require a consumer to pay with respect to an account during the first year after account opening to 25 percent of the credit limit in effect when the account is opened. In April 2011, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System further amended Regulation Z to extend the limitation to include fees the consumer is required to pay prior to account opening. In September 2011, the U.S. District Court for South Dakota issued a preliminary injunction preventing this amendment from taking effect. The CFPB has proposed a regulation to amend Regulation Z to apply the 25 percent limitation only during the first year after account opening.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Copies of Appraisals or Other Valuations To Be Furnished by Creditor (Regulation B)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In August 2012, the CFPB proposed to amend Regulation B, which implements the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), and the official interpretation to the regulation, which interprets the requirements of Regulation B. The proposed revisions to Regulation B would implement an ECOA amendment concerning appraisals that was enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. In general, the proposed revisions to Regulation B would require creditors to provide free copies of all written appraisals and valuations developed in connection with an application for a loan to be secured by a first lien on a dwelling. The proposal also would require creditors to notify applicants in writing of the right to receive a copy of each written appraisal or valuation at no additional cost. The CFPB is working to issue a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>The Expedited Funds Availability Act (Regulation CC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Expedited Funds Availability Act (EFA Act), implemented by Regulation CC, governs availability of funds after a check deposit and check collection and return processes. Section 1086 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act amended the EFA Act to provide the CFPB with joint rulemaking authority with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) over certain consumer-related EFA Act provisions. The Board proposed amendments to Regulation CC in March 2011, to facilitate the banking industry's ongoing transition to fully-electronic interbank check collection and return. The Board's proposal includes some provisions that are subject to the CFPB's joint rulemaking authority, including the period for funds availability and revising model form disclosures. The CFPB will work with the Board to jointly issue a final rule that includes provisions within the CFPB's authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternative Mortgage Transaction Parity (Regulation D)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 22, 2011, the CFPB published an interim final rule necessary to fill a regulatory gap created by the amendments to the Alternative Mortgage Transaction Parity Act (AMTPA) in section 1083 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This interim final rule clarifies the circumstances under which State housing creditors may make alternative mortgage transactions pursuant to AMTPA in States that prohibit such transactions. The interim final rule is in place as a temporary measure pending the CFPB's promulgation of permanent rules under section 1083. Because section 1083 requires the CFPB to assess predecessor agencies' rules under AMTPA and to promulgate regulations governing alternative mortgage transactions by federally chartered housing creditors in addition to State housing creditors, the CFPB will next develop a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to implement the broader rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) amends the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) to require financial institutions to report information concerning credit applications made by women- or minority-owned businesses and small businesses. The amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act require that certain data be collected and maintained under ECOA, including the number and date the application was received; the type and purpose of loan applied for; the amount of credit applied for and approved; the type of action taken with regard to each application and the date of such action; the census tract of the principal place of business; the gross annual revenue; and the race, sex, and ethnicity of the principal owners of the business. The CFPB expects to begin developing proposed regulations concerning the data to be collected and appropriate procedures, information safeguards, and privacy protections for information-gathering under this section.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>TILA Mortgage Amendments (Regulation Z)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 26, 2009, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) proposed for comment proposals to amend Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) regarding disclosure requirements for closed-end loans secured by real property or a dwelling and open-end home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). On September 24, 2010, the Board proposed certain amendments to Regulation Z, and the staff commentary to the regulation, as part of a comprehensive review of TILA's rules for home-secured credit. The Board's proposal addressed (a) revising the rules for the consumer's right to rescind certain open-end and closed-end loans secured by the consumer's principal dwelling; (b) revising the rules for determining when a modification of an existing closed-end mortgage loan secured by real property or a dwelling is a new transaction requiring new disclosures; and (c) amending the disclosure rules for open- and closed-end reverse mortgages. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the rulemaking authority for TILA generally transferred from the Board to the CFPB on July 21, 2011. The CFPB is evaluating further action regarding the three pending proposals. Many of the disclosure aspects of these proposals have been superseded by the rulemaking integrating the mortgage disclosures required by TILA and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (Section 1032(f) of the Dodd-Frank Act).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supervision of Certain Nonbank Covered Persons--Defining Larger Participants in Certain Consumer Financial Product and Service Markets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the CFPB has published a final rule to implement its supervisory program for nonbank covered persons of the consumer reporting market. Under section 1024 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB is authorized to supervise certain nonbank covered persons for compliance with Federal consumer financial laws and for other purposes. Under section 1024(a)(1)(B) of the Dodd-Frank Act, for certain markets, the supervision program generally will apply only to "larger participant[s]" of these markets. The final regulation will help establish the scope of the CFPB's nonbank supervision program by defining who is a larger participant in certain markets for consumer financial products or services, namely consumer reporting. The Dodd-Frank Act provides that an initial rule for defining "larger participants" in a market under section 1024(a)(1)(B) must be issued by July 21, 2012. This was the first in a series of larger participant rulemakings.]]></ABSTRACT>

The final rule also provides senders specified cancellation and refund rights. The CFPB published a related concurrent proposed rule in the Federal Register on February 7, 2012. The proposed rule requested comment on two technical changes to the final rule, including: (1) Under what circumstances a person may be providing remittance transfer services in the "normal course of business" to be considered a "remittance transfer provider" subject to compliance with the final rule, and (2) how the final rule should be applied to remittance transfers scheduled in advance of when the transfer is made. The CFPB published a rule finalizing this proposal on August 20, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defining Larger Participants of Certain Financial Product and Service Markets--Defining Larger Participants of the Consumer Debt Collection Market</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the CFPB has published a final rule to implement its supervisory program for nonbank covered persons that are larger participants of the consumer debt collection market. Under section 1024 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB is authorized to supervise certain nonbank covered persons for compliance with Federal consumer financial laws and for other purposes. Under section 1024(a)(1)(B) of the Dodd-Frank Act, for certain markets, the supervision program generally will apply only to "larger participant[s]" of these markets for consumer financial products or services, as the CFPB defines by rule. The final rule will help establish the scope of the CFPB's nonbank supervision program by defining who is a larger participant in a market for consumer debt collection. This was the second in a series of larger participant rulemakings. The first larger participant rule, covering the consumer reporting market, was published in the Federal Register on July 20, 2012 (77 FR 42874). The CFPB anticipates publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking and a final rule in 2013, for the third in a series of larger participant rulemakings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Delayed Implementation of New Mortgage Disclosures (Regulation Z)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The CFPB has published a final rule that provides temporary exemptions for creditors from certain disclosure requirements under title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The CFPB proposed to implement certain of these Dodd-Frank Act disclosure requirements as part of or in connection with the integrated mortgage disclosure forms required by sections 1032(f), 1098, and 1100A of the Dodd-Frank Act. Accordingly, the CFPB included in its proposed rule for the integrated disclosures, issued on July 9, 2012, and published on August 23, 2012, a temporary exemption from complying with these disclosure requirements until the integrated mortgage disclosure forms take effect, to prevent such requirements from becoming self-effective under section 1400(c) of the Dodd-Frank Act. Comments were due for this aspect of the proposal on September 7, 2012 and comments on Paperwork Reduction Act were due on November 6, 2012. This rule will also postpone implementation of a Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System proposal regarding a post-consummation escrow disclosure under the Dodd-Frank Act, which was published on March 2, 2011. The comment period for that proposal closed on May 2, 2011. The final rule postponing these disclosure requirements under title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Act was published on November 23, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. 
 
Staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration of a proposed rule that 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. Also covered would be the conditional release of products under the customs bond to bring them into compliance and 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 outdated references contained in the current regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition CP 10-2/HP 10-1 Requesting a Change to the Bunk Bed Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 under 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 unanimously 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 on September 10, 2010. On April 12, 2011, the Commission voted unanimously to defer the petition, pending an evaluation of progress by the voluntary standard committee to address the hazard. On November 8, 2011, the Commission voted unanimously to defer the petition for an additional six months in anticipation of action by the voluntary standard committee to address the hazard. On May 16, 2012, the staff sent a briefing package to the Commission that provided an update about the activities related to the voluntary standard. On May 22, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously to defer the petition for an additional six months in anticipation of action by the voluntary standard committee to address the hazard. CPSC staff will prepare a status update report for Commission consideration in January 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition for a Standard for Gas-Vented Fire Places</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Carol Pollack-Nelson of Independent Safety Consulting submitted a petition to the Commission on May 23, 2011, requesting that the Commission initiate rulemaking to require safeguards for glass fronts of gas-vented fireplaces. The petitioner seeks a mandatory standard for gas-vented fireplaces that requires a protective barrier, guard, or other device for any accessible surface that, if contacted, is hot enough to cause severe burns. The petition was docketed on May 24, 2011, under the Consumer Product Safety Act as Petition CP 11-1. Subsequent to receipt of the petition, the Commission received a submission from Mr. William Lerner, also requesting that the Commission initiate rulemaking regarding glass fronts of gas fireplaces. Mr. Lerner seeks that a "high temperature warning system" be placed on the front of the fireplaces to indicate whether the fireplace glass front is cool enough to be touched safely. On June 1, 2011, the Commission voted unanimously to approve publication of a notice in the Federal Register seeking comments on the petition and on the Lerner submission. The notice was published in the Federal Register on June 8, 2011. The comment period closed on August 8, 2011. CPSC staff completed review of submitted comments, and on March 21, 2012 staff sent a briefing package to the Commission for consideration. On March 27, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously to defer the petition for six months, directing staff to update the Commission at the end of that period on the progress of voluntary standards activities. On September 19, 2012 staff submitted for Commission consideration a briefing package on the status of the standards development process for protective barriers.  On September 25, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously (4-0) to defer the petition for 6 months and directed staff to update the Commission at the end of that period on the progress of relevant standards development.]]></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 strollers and carriages as part of this series of standards for durable infant and toddler products.  Staff is preparing a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition on Crib Bumpers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission received correspondence from the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), dated May 9, 2012, requesting that the Commission initiate rulemaking to distinguish and regulate ''hazardous pillow-like'' crib bumpers from ''non-hazardous traditional'' crib bumpers under sections 7 and 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (''CPSA''). On June 6, 2012, the request was docketed as a petition (CP 12-2) under the Consumer Product Safety Act.  15 U.S.C. 2056 and 2058. The petitioner asserts that, despite information to the contrary regarding the safety of "traditional" crib bumpers, some are advocating banning all bumpers from the marketplace.  Petitioner believes that banning "traditional" bumpers may lead caregivers to add unsafe soft bedding to cribs to serve as a protective barrier from the tight dimensions and hard wooden surface of the crib slats. On June 25, 2012, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register to solicit comments on the petition. The comment period ended on August 24, 2012.  Staff is reviewing the comments and will prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition for Classification of &quot;Bee Safe System&quot; as an Anti-Entrapment System Under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (&quot;VGB Act&quot;)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGB Act) was signed into law on December 17, 2007 and became effective in December 2008.  Section 1404(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the VGB Act requires that each public pool and spa in the United States with a single main drain other than an unblockable drain be equipped, at a minimum, with one or more of the following anti-entrapment devices or systems:  (I) Safety vacuum release system; (II) Suction-limiting vent system; (III) Gravity drainage system; (IV) Automatic pump shut-off system; ((V) Drain disablement; or (VI) any other system determined by the Commission to be equally effective as, or better than, these systems at preventing or eliminating the risk of injury or death associated with pool drainage systems.  

The Commission received correspondence from Bonnie Snow and Teri Snow, dated February 13, 2012, requesting that the Commission initiate rulemaking to determine that the "BeeSafe System" is equally effective as, or better than, systems designed to prevent entrapment listed in section 1406(c)(1)(A)(ii)(I)-(V) of the Virginia Graeme Baker Act (VGB Act).  The Commission docketed the request as a petition under the Consumer Product Safety Act and sought comments concerning the petition.]]></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, CPSC 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 Web site. A Commission briefing was held on June 15, 2006. On July 12, 2006, the Commission voted unanimously 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. CPSC staff conducted research as directed by the Commission in its vote on July 12, 2006. On February 13, 2008, CPSC staff sent to the Commission a report summarizing the status of CPSC staff's research activities. 

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 also directed the Commission to publish as a mandatory standard the voluntary standard for four-wheeled ATVs (ANSI/SVIA 1-2007). The Commission did so with a Federal Register notice on November 14, 2008.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 rulemaking proceeding is pending. 

A revised voluntary standard, ANSI/SVIA 1-2010, was published in December 2010. ANSI notified the Commission on March 16, 2011. Following CPSIA direction, CPSC staff sent a briefing package with a draft proposed rule to amend the mandatory consumer product safety standard to reference the 2010 edition of the voluntary standard. On July 15, 2011, the Commission voted 4-0-1 to issue an NPRM, and a Federal Register notice was published on July 25, 2011. The comment period closed on October 11, 2011. CPSC staff sent to the Commission a briefing package with a draft final rule changing the referenced standard to ANSI/SVIA 1-2010. The Commission voted to issue the final rule to amend the mandatory consumer product safety standard to reference the 2010 edition of the voluntary standard, and the final rule was published in the Federal Register on February 29, 2012.

Public Law 112-28 directs the Commission to issue a final rule in its open rulemaking proceeding not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of Public Law 112-28 or August 12, 2012. Because 6 years have passed since the issuance of the NPRM, the Commission wanted to provide stakeholders an opportunity to present their views on the outstanding issues.  In addition, once rulemaking is complete, it is envisioned that the next phase of the effort to reduce deaths and injuries associated with the use of ATVs will focus on the different roles each of the various stakeholders can play to achieve that goal. With this in mind, the Commission held an ATV Safety Summit on October 11-12, 2012 to (1) provide stakeholders with an opportunity to present their views on some ATV issues that remain from the 2006 notice of proposed rulemaking; and (2) mobilize stakeholders for future action that stakeholders could take to improve the safety of ATVs. After the Safety Summit concludes and the comment period on the remaining issues of the NPRM has ended (November 14, 2012), staff will prepare and send to the Commission a briefing package regarding the open rulemaking proceeding.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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, a roll over protective structure, and a maximum speed greater than 30 mph. On October 21, 2009, the Commission voted (4-0-1) 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 that 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 6 months thereafter. On March 24, 2010, the Commission voted unanimously 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 F2194, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Bassinets and Cradles, with some changes and additions.  Due to updates in the ASTM standard and changes to CPSC staff's proposed revisions to the ASTM standard, on August 31, 2012 staff submitted for Commission consideration a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.  On October 3, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously to approve publication of the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking, with changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Certificates of Compliance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 3 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) amended section 14(a) 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. A proposed rule amending section 1110 would clarify certificate requirements in light of new rules on testing and labeling and component part testing, would require that electronic certificates be filed at the time of entry for imported products, and would place the obligation to certify domestically produced products on the domestic manufacturer or private labeler.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Safety Standard for Play Yards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 6, 2012, a draft final rule on play yards was submitted to the Commission.  The draft final rule incorporated by reference ASTM F406-12a, "Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs/Play Yards."  The draft final rule included one additional requirement not present in ASTM F406-12a.  That requirement would have addressed the hazards associated with the use of play yard bassinet accessories that can be assembled with missing key structural elements.  The bassinet misassembly requirement was created after we received a comment in response to the play yard NPR, which was published on September 20, 2011 (76 FR 58167).  On June 27, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously to approve publication in the Federal Register of the draft final rule to establish a safety standard for play yards, with changes. Specifically, the Commission voted to remove the bassinet misassembly requirement from the draft play yard final rule.  The Commission directed staff to draft and publish an NPR seeking comment regarding an amendment to the play yard mandatory standard to include the bassinet misassembly requirement.  The comment period ends on November 13, 2012. Following review of the comments, staff will prepare for Commission consideration a briefing package on a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Standard for Magnet Sets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Based on its review of incident data, the Commission determined preliminarily that there may be an unreasonable risk of injury associated with children ingesting high-powered magnets that are part of magnet sets.  These magnet sets are aggregations of separable, permanent, magnetic objects intended or marketed by the manufacturer primarily as a manipulative or construction desk toy for general entertainment, such as puzzle working, sculpture building, mental stimulation, or stress relief.  In contrast to ingesting other small parts, when a child ingests a magnet, the magnetic properties of the object can cause serious, life-threatening injuries.  On September 4, 2012, the Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking that would prohibit such magnet sets.  Under the proposal, if a magnet set contains a magnet that fits within the CPSC's small parts cylinder, magnets from that set would be required to have a flux index of  50 or less, or they would be prohibited.  The flux index would be determined by the method described in ASTM F963-11, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety. The comment period ends on November 19, 2012.  Staff will review the comments and then will prepare a briefing package for Commission's consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standard for Infant Swings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the Commission to issue consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. The Commission is directed to assess the effectiveness of applicable voluntary standards and, in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act, promulgate consumer product safety standards that are substantially the same as the voluntary standard or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission determines that more stringent standards would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product. The CPSIA requires that not later than August 14, 2009, the Commission begin rulemaking for at least two categories of durable infant or toddler products and promulgate two such standards every 6 months thereafter. The Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on February 10, 2012 for infant swings as part of this series of standards for durable infant and toddler products. The proposed standard is based on ASTM F 2088-11b, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Infant Swings, with changes and additions. The comment period ended on April 25, 2012.  Staff reviewed the comments and, on September 19, 2012, submitted for Commission consideration a briefing package on the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 14(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), as amended 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 Web site 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 (1) codify the requirements and procedures that a third party conformance body must meet to become a Commission-accepted third party conformity assessment body; (2) address how a third party conformity assessment body may voluntarily discontinue participation in the Commission's children's product assessment program; and (3) describe the grounds and procedures for withdrawal or suspension of Commission acceptance of a third party conformity assessment body. On March 14, 2012, staff submitted for Commission consideration a briefing package on a proposed rule.  On April 27, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously to approve publication of the proposed rule in the Federal Register.  The proposed rule published on May 24, 2012. The Comment period ended on August 7, 2012. Following review of the comments, staff will send to the Commission a briefing package on the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Products Containing Imidazolines Equivalent to 0.08 Milligrams or More</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970, the Commission is considering a proposed rule that would require child-resistant ("CR") packaging for any over-the-counter or prescription product containing the equivalent of 0.08 milligrams or more of an imidazoline, a class of drugs that includes tetrahydrozoline, naphazoline, oxymetazoline, and xylometazoline, in a single package. Products containing imidazolines can cause serious adverse reactions, such as central nervous system ("CNS") depression, decreased heart rate, and depressed ventilation in children treated with these drugs or who accidentally ingest them. CPSC staff submitted a briefing package on the proposed rule for Commission consideration on January 11, 2012. The Commission found preliminarily that availability of 0.08 milligrams or more of an imidazoline in a single package, by reason of its packaging, is such that special packaging is required to protect children under 5-years-old from serious personal injury or illness due to handling, using, or ingesting such a substance. On January 18, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously to publish the proposed rule in the Federal Register. The proposed rule published on January 25, 2012, and the comment period ended on April 9, 2012.  Staff is preparing for Commission consideration a briefing package on a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Animal Testing Policy Associated With Cautionary Labeling for Hazardous Substances</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CPSC staff is proposing rulemaking to amend the animal testing policy associated with the determination of cautionary labeling for hazardous substances under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA). The last update to the animal testing policy was an uncodified policy in 1984 that called for a reduction in the number of animals required for toxicity testing and clarified when animal testing might be needed. The policy also states that "Health Sciences will incorporate the techniques into the Commission's compliance program and will recommend any changes to the Commission's statutes or regulations that may become appropriate as the result of advances in testing methods that are developed." Such developments in testing have been produced in recent years, particularly since the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act was passed in 1993 directing the National Institute of Environmental Health Science (NIEHS) to establish a method and criteria for the validation and regulatory acceptance of alternative testing methods (Pub. L. 103-43, section 1301). Therefore, an update is now needed to amend sections of 16 CFR part 1500 that contain outdated or incomplete information on animal testing and to incorporate these relevant new developments. Changes to 16 CFR part 1500 will emphasize the fact that animal testing is not a requirement of the FHSA, but rather, one of several options for toxicity testing. Specifically, CPSC staff recommends substantive amendments to 16 CFR 1500.3(c)(1), (2)(i), (3), and (4), which provide definitions of FHSA hazard terms "highly toxic," "toxic," "corrosive," "irritant," "primary irritant," and "eye irritant," each of which relates to the outcome of a specific animal test. CPSC staff also recommends substantive amendments to the acute dermal toxicity assay (sec. 1500.40), the primary irritant assay (sec. 1500.41), and eye irritant assay (sec. 1500.42), all of which use rabbits. 

In addition, CPSC staff prepared for Commission consideration a briefing package describing the new policy and its proposed codification.  On June 13, 2012 staff submitted for Commission consideration a briefing package on the proposed rule and proposed codification of the animal testing policy.  On June 22, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously to approve publication of the proposed rule to amend the testing regulations, and to codify the proposed statement of policy on animal testing in the Federal Register.  Both were published on June 29, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Toy Cap Requirements </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Staff has determined that the toy cap requirements contained in F963-11 overlap existing requirements contained in 16 CFR 1500.18, 1500.47, and 1500.86. ASTM F 963-11 requires a more accurate measurement of sound levels that could result in hearing loss, and maximum sound levels in ASTM F 963-11 are equivalent or more stringent than those in 16 CFR part 1500. While the duplicate rules overlap, they do not conflict; products that meet the requirements in ASTM F 963-11 will also meet all the requirements in the CFR. The requirements in 16 CFR 1500.18, 1500.47, and 1500.86 require testing with equipment that is no longer available, and therefore, obsolete.  Currently, toy caps are required to meet the ASTM F 963 requirement for third party testing. On June 13, 2012, staff submitted for Commission consideration a briefing package on the proposed rule, On June 19, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously to approve publication of the proposed rule in the Federal Register that would revoke the requirements in 16 CFR 1500.18, 1500.47, and 1500.86.  The proposed rule was published on June 25, 2012.  The comment period ended on August 24, 2012 and staff is preparing for Commission consideration a briefing package on the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Flammability Standard for Upholstered Furniture</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In October 2003, the Commission issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to address the risk of fire associated with cigarette and small open-flame ignitions of upholstered furniture.  The Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in March 2008 and received public comments.  The Commission's proposed rule would require that upholstered furniture have cigarette-resistant fabrics or cigarette- and open flame-resistant barriers.  The proposed rule would not require flame-resistant chemicals in fabrics or fillings.  CPSC staff is continuing research to support a 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 3-0 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mandatory Safety Standard for Cigarette Lighters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In November 2001, a petition from the Lighter Association, Inc., requested that the Commission issue a rule to adopt an ASTM International voluntary safety standard for cigarette lighters. In November 2004, the Commission voted 2-0 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.   On February 1, 2008, the Commission voted 1-1 on whether to formally rely on the voluntary consensus standard for cigarette lighters.  Because a Commission decision was not reached, no action was taken on the matter.]]></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 the development of a flammability standard to address risks of death, injury, and property damage from fires associated with open-flame ignition of bedclothes.  Bedclothes that catch fire 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 was in effect, the cigarette ignition test currently required in 16 CFR 1632 would not be necessary and that conducting both tests would 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 2007.  Staff also monitored progress of a CPSC staff project on cigarette ignition risk because performance of Reduced Ignition Propensity (RIP) cigarettes has the potential to change the smoldering hazard to mattresses. RIP cigarettes are required by legislation in all states. Staff research has continued on cigarette ignition risk, with an evaluation of RIP and conventional cigarettes as ignition sources for mattresses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 11, 2006, the Commission voted 2-1 to grant a petition requesting that the Commission issue a rule prescribing performance standards for a system to reduce or prevent injuries from contacting the blade of a table saw. The Commission also directed CPSC staff to prepare an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) initiating a rulemaking proceeding under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) to identify the risk of injury associated with table saw blade contact injuries, summarize regulatory alternatives, and invite comments from the public.  An ANPR was published on October 11, 2011. The comment period ended on February 10, 2012.  Staff is evaluating the comments and will prepare a briefing package for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

Staff sent the ANPRM to the Commission for consideration on June 26, 2006. On June 30, 2006, the Commission voted 3-0 to issue an ANPRM, which was issued on July 12, 2006. The comment period on the ANPRM closed on September 11, 2006. In June 2011, the Commission directed staff to review progress made since the issuance of the FY 2006 ANPRM regarding consumer fireworks regulations. In FY 2012, staff concentrated efforts on developing a more efficient and quantitative test method to evaluate aerial firework break charge energy release and assess potential hazards to consumers associated with "adult snapper" fireworks and propose appropriate solutions.]]></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 (CO) poisoning. The ANPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 12, 2006. Staff reviewed public comments and conducted 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 the garage attached to NIST's test house. NIST's test house, a double-wide manufactured home, is designed for conducting residential indoor air quality (IAQ) studies, and the scenarios tested are typical of those involving consumer fatalities. These tests provide empirical data on CO accumulation in the garage and infiltration into the house; staff used these data to evaluate the efficacy of the prototype in reducing the risk of fatal or severe CO poisoning. Under this IAG, NIST also modeled the CO infiltration from the garage under a variety of other conditions, including different ambient conditions and longer generator run times. 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 that would be based on health effects criteria. In 2011, staff prepared a package containing staff and contractor reports on the technology demonstration of the low CO emission prototype portable generator. This included, among other staff reports, a summary of the prototype development and durability results, as well as end-of-life emission test results performed on it by an independent emissions laboratory. Staff's assessment of the ability of the prototype to reduce the CO poisoning hazard was also included. In October 2012, staff released this package and solicited comments from stakeholders. The technology demonstration of the low CO emission prototype portable generator and other staff activities on the portable generator project will be used in the development of a briefing package for use by the Commission in considering whether to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 103 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314 (August 14, 2008), mandates "distinguishing marks" on all children's products and their packaging to enable the manufacturer and the ultimate purchaser to ascertain certain source and product information.  On July 20, 2009, the Commission posted a statement of policy on its Web site regarding the interpretation and enforcement of section 103(a) of the CPSIA.  The Commission is considering issuing a rule based on this guidance. In addition, as authorized under  Public Law 112-28, the Commission could consider issuing a regulation excluding a specific product or class of products from the tracking label requirements if the Commission determines that it is not practicable for the product or class of products to bear the required marks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Public Accommodations Facility Interpretation</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 unanimously 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."  The 60-day comment period ended on December 21, 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Petition for Non-See-Through Containers for Torch Fuel and Lamp Oil </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On behalf of Bettsy Bumpas, John L. Branum, attorney at law, submitted a petition, dated May 9, 2011, requesting that the Commission initiate a rulemaking to require that torch fuel and lamp oil be packaged in non-see-through containers. Specifically, the petitioner asserts that certain petroleum distillates, including torch fuel and lamp oil as currently packaged, resemble juice. The petitioner states that because young children enjoy the taste of juice and are accustomed to drinking it regularly, packaging petroleum distillates in clear plastic bottles poses a risk of injury to children because they may mistake it for juice. The request was docketed on July 7, 2011, as Petition PP 11-1, under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). On July 14, 2011, the Commission voted unanimously to approve publication of a notice in the Federal Register to solicit public comments on the petition. The notice was published in the Federal Register on July 26, 2011. The comment period closed on September 26, 2011. Mr. Branum requested an extension of the comment period, and on October 17, 2011, the Commission published a notice reopening the comment period for an additional 30 days. That comment period closed on November 16, 2011. CPSC staff reviewed and responded to submitted comments and on September 12, 2012, sent a briefing package to the Commission for consideration.  On October 3, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously (4-0) to defer the petition, directing staff to monitor the appropriate standards development organizations regarding the status of voluntary standards activities related to the hazards posed to children by torch fuel and lamp oil, including hazards associated with the color and design of torch fuel and lamp oil and lamp oil containers, the use and design of secondary containers principally intended to house torch fuel and lamp oil, and the color and smell of torch fuel and lamp oil.]]></ABSTRACT>

Among other things, H.R. 2715, now Public Law 112-28, replaced the requirement in section 14(i)(2)(B)(ii) of the CPSA for the testing of "random samples" with a requirement for the testing of "representative samples." On September 21, 2011, CPSC staff submitted a briefing package to the Commission on a proposed rule to implement this new statutory requirement. The proposed rule would amend 16 CFR 1107. On October 19, 2011, the Commission voted unanimously to publish the proposed rule in the Federal Register. The proposed rule was published on November 8, 2011, and the comment period ended on January 23, 2012. On June 20, 2012, CPSC staff submitted for Commission consideration a briefing package on the final rule. On July 6, 2012, the Commission voted 2-2 on whether to publish the final rule in the Federal Register.  Because a Commission decision was not reached, no action was taken on the matter.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Firepots Used With Gel Fuel</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Staff identified firepots used with gel fuel as an emerging hazard in summer 2011, after severe injuries were reported to the CPSC.  Subsequent staff investigations led to voluntary recalls in September 2011 of alcohol gel fuel containers intended to be used with firepots.  In an effort to seek a more permanent means to reduce or eliminate the hazard posed by firepots using gel fuel, CPSC staff prepared a briefing package in December 2011, requesting that the  Commission vote to approve publication of an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) that initiates a rulemaking proceeding. The Commission voted unanimously to approve publication in the Federal Register of the ANPR addressing the risk of injury associated with firepots and gel fuel. The comment period ended on February 27, 2012. Staff is reviewing the comments to the ANPR and will prepare 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) under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) 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 unanimously to direct 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.

In 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) was enacted. Section 104 of the 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.  Consistent with the requirements of section 104 of the CPSIA, the Commission terminated the existing ANPRM for portable bed rails and proposed a new safety standard for portable bed rails. The proposed portable bed rail standard included provisions that addressed the risks of injury identified in the ANPRM. Staff sent a briefing package on the proposed rule to the Commission on March 16, 2011 and the Commission voted unanimously on April 6, 2011 to approve publication of the NPR in the Federal Register; the comment period ended on June 27, 2011.  On February 1, 2012, staff sent a briefing package on the final rule to the Commission for consideration.  The Commission voted unanimously on February 22, 2012 to approve the final rule, which was published in the Federal Register on February 29, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314 (Aug. 14, 2008), as amended by Public Law 112-28, 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 representative 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 on August 3, 2010. CPSC staff submitted a briefing package for Commission consideration of the final rule on September 21, 2011.  The Commission approved the final rule by a 3-2 vote on October 19, 2011.  The final rule was published in the Federal Register on November 8, 2011.]]></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 as to whether a rule is the appropriate mechanism to address this hazard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2010. The comment period ended on August 3, 2010. Component testing allows firms to demonstrate, in whole or in part, compliance of a consumer product with all applicable rules, bans, standards, and regulations to support a General Conformity Certificate or a certificate for a children's product pursuant to section 14(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA); as part of a reasonable testing program pursuant to section 14(a) of the CPSA; and/or as part of the standards and protocols for continued testing of children's products pursuant to section 14(i)(2) of the CPSA.  CPSC staff submitted a briefing package for Commission consideration of the final rule on September 21, 2011.  On October 19, 2011, the Commission approved the final rule by a 3-2 vote. The final rule was published in the Federal Register on November 8, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Standard for Play Yards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the Commission to issue consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. The Commission is directed to assess the effectiveness of applicable voluntary standards, and in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act, promulgate consumer product safety standards that are substantially the same as the voluntary standard or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission determines that more stringent standards would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product. The CPSIA requires that not later than August 14, 2009, the Commission begin rulemaking for at least two categories of durable infant or toddler products and promulgate two such standards every 6 months thereafter. The Commission proposed a consumer product safety standard for play yards as part of this series of standards for durable infant and toddler products. The proposed standard was based on ASTM F 406-11, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs/Play Yards, with changes. On August 17, 2011, CPSC staff sent a briefing package to the Commission for consideration; and on September 14, 2011, the Commission voted unanimously (4-0) to approve publication of a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register. The NPRM was published on September 20, 2011, and the comment period ended on December 5, 2011. On June 6, 2012, staff submitted for Commission consideration a briefing package on the final rule.  The draft final rule was based on ASTM F 406-12a (excluding provisions of the voluntary standard that only apply to non-full-size cribs), and included one additional requirement not present in the voluntary standard.  That requirement would have addressed the hazards associated with the use of play yard bassinet accessories that can be assembled with missing key structural elements.  On June 27, 2012, the Commission voted unanimously (4-0) to approve publication of the draft final rule, with changes, in the Federal Register.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment of Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads (Cigarette Ignition)--Standard Reference Material Ignition Source</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission 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 NPRM 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.  On September 7, 2011, staff sent a briefing package on the final rule to the Commission for consideration.  On September 13, 2011, the Commission voted unanimously to approve the final rule, which was published in the Federal Register on September 23, 2011.]]></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 the 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 requested 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 requested that, as an interim measure, the Commission adopt the maximum levels established for lead. On February 16, 2011, the Commission voted unanimously to defer the decision on the petition for 6 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 and to report back in 6 months. On August 30, 2011, staff sent a report to the Commission about the voluntary standard activities. 

On September 6, 2011, the Commission voted 3-2 to grant the petition and directed staff to begin drafting a notice of proposed rulemaking unless a voluntary standard for cadmium in children's jewelry was published by ASTM within 3 months of the publication of the Federal Register notice announcing the outcome of the vote and status of the petition. If a voluntary standard for cadmium in children's jewelry was published by ASTM within this timeframe, then staff was directed to assess the adequacy of the voluntary standard and whether there was substantial compliance with the voluntary standard. Based on these assessments, staff was directed to make a recommendation on the disposition of this petition within 9 months of the publication of the Federal Register notice announcing the outcome of this vote and the status of the petition. With respect to children's toy jewelry, the Commission granted the petition and directed staff to follow the same procedures described above. The voluntary standard for children's jewelry (ASTM F 2923-11) was published in November 2011; the revised toy safety standard (ASTM F 963-11) was published in December 2011. CPSC staff assessed the adequacy of and compliance with these standards, and, on June 29, 2012, submitted for Commission consideration a briefing package recommending termination of the petition based on its findings. On July 16, 2012, the Commission voted 4-0 to terminate the proceeding, and to direct staff to prepare a letter to the petitioners, notifying them of the termination of the petition.  Two Commissioners also voted to direct staff to publish a Federal Register notice explaining the reasons for the termination.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Unblockable Drain Interpretive Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, Public Law no. 110-140, 15 U.S.C. 8001 et seq., ("Act"), requires that for a public pool or spa with a single main drain, other than an unblockable drain, the operator must either disable the drain or install a second anti-entrapment device or system. Section 1404(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act. On April 27, 2010, the Commission issued a final interpretive rule interpreting the term "unblockable drain" as used in the Act as follows: unblockable drain includes a suction outlet defined as all components, including the sump and/or body, cover/grate, and hardware such that its perforated (open) area cannot be shadowed by the area of the 18" x 23" Body Blocking Element of ASME/ANSI A112.19.8-2007 and that the rated flow through the remaining open area (beyond the shadowed portion) cannot create a suction force in excess of the removal force values in Table 1 of that Standard. On September 7, 2011, CPSC staff forwarded to the Commission a draft Federal Register notice that would revisit this interpretation.  On September 28, 2011, the Commission voted 3-2 to revoke its April 2010 interpretation of an unblockable drain.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is revising regulations governing its AmeriCorps VISTA (VISTA) program authorized under the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, as amended, 42 USC section 4950 et seq. This proposed rule will provide additional information regarding policies and practices related to the operations, terms, conditions, and benefits of the VISTA program. The proposed rule contains updates as a result of changes in law and agency administration. For example, CNCS will remove all references to its predecessor agency  ACTION  and redesignate the regulations currently in 45 CFR chapter 12 to 45 chapter 25, where CNCS' AmeriCorps and other program regulations are published. Also, CNCS will update the regulations regarding prohibitions on electoral and lobbying activities, including Hatch Act restrictions on VISTA members and sponsors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Protection of Human Subjects</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CNCS proposes to adopt the "Common Rule" published in 1991 which establishes the government-wide policy regarding the protections of human subjects of research conducted or sponsored by Federal agencies.  Recent changes to the CNCS's authorities have placed an increased emphasis on rigorous evaluations of the effectiveness of CNCS-funded programs.  Those evaluations will assess the impact of CNCS programs on improving the lives of individuals served, and may involve research which falls within the scope of the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects.  CNCS anticipates adopting subpart A of the Common Rule in identical fashion to the Common Rule adopted by other Federal agencies.]]></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>

The proposed rule seeks public comments on the retroactive application of section 803 to contracts that had been awarded by DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard before the date of enactment of section 803 (which was December 31, 2011).  In addition, also as part of the implementation in the FAR of section 803, DoD, GSA and NASA are separately issuing an interim rule (FAR Case 2012-017) that addresses the prospective application of section 803 to contracts awarded on or after December 31, 2011.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to revise the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement section 806(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Pub. L. 112-81).  Section 806, paragraph (c) allows contractors 14 calendar days to rebut past performance evaluations and requires that past performance evaluations be included in the relevant database within 14 days.  While the requirements of section 806(c) are mandatory only for the Department of Defense, the Governmentwide application of the statue will ensure that the Government has current performance information about contractors to help source selection officials make better award decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2012-029; Contractor Access to Protected Information</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to address contractor access to protected information.  On April 26, 2011, DoD, GSA, and NASA proposed amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to provide additional coverage regarding contractor access to nonpublic information (76 FR 23236), with an extension for public comment published June 29, 2011 (76 FR 38089). The first proposed rule was combined with proposed revised regulatory coverage on organizational conflicts of interest (FAR Case 2011-001).  DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing substantial changes to the proposed coverage based on the public comments received. Therefore, DoD, GSA, and NASA decided to separate this coverage from the organizational conflicts of interest rule in order to publish for additional public comments.

The coverage provided in this proposed rule differs from the coverage provided in the first proposed rule in a number of important respects. This case is included in the FAR retrospective review of existing regulations under Executive Order 13563. Additional information is located in the FAR final plan (2012), available at: https://www.acquisition.gov.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2011-001; Organizational Conflicts of Interest </RULE_TITLE>
        <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), and add related provisions and clauses.  Coverage on contractor access to protected information has been moved to a new proposed rule, FAR Case 2012-029.

Section 841 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Pub. L. 110-417) 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 and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, in consultation with the Office of Government Ethics. This proposed rule was preceded by an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 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. This case is included in the FAR retrospective review of existing regulations under Executive Order 13563.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2011-019; Updated Postretirement Benefit (PRB) References</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to remove references to specific paragraphs in an accounting standard that were deleted in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB's) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) ("Codification of GAAP").  The immediate and delayed recognition procedures for the initial application transition obligation in paragraphs 111, 112, and 113, respectively, of superseded Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) 106, are obsolete and no longer exist in the authoritative GAAP (the ASC).  The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (the Councils), therefore, propose replacing the current references with replacement criteria for determining the allowability of the transition obligation, when converting from pay-as-you-go accounting for postretirement benefits (PRBs) to an accrual method of accounting for the purposes of government contract cost accounting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2009-038, Justification and Approval of 8(a) Sole Source Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA issued an interim rule that amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation to implement section 811, Justification and Approval of Sole-Source Contracts, of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule, adopted with changes, the interim rule that amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation 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 a final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation to implement section 1347 of the "Small Business Jobs Act of 2010." Section 1347 clarified there is no order of precedence among the small business socioeconomic programs.  Accordingly, this final rule clarifies the existence of socioeconomic parity and that contracting officers may exercise discretion when determining whether an acquisition will be restricted to small businesses participating in the 8(a) Business Development Program, Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) Program, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Program, or the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FAR Case 2007-012, Requirements for Acquisitions Pursuant to Multiple-Award Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA have adopted as final, with changes, 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. This rule was identified in the FAR Council's retrospective analysis plan in compliance with Executive Order 13563. The updated plan is available at https://www.acquisition.gov.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[DoD, GSA, and NASA amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Procedures for Complaints or Charges of Employment Discrimination Based on Disability Subject to the Americans With Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EEOC has a joint regulation with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to explain how Federal agencies that provide financial assistance should process disability-based employment discrimination complaints/charges against entities subject to both title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended (ADA) (prohibiting disability-based employment discrimination by employers with 15 or more employees), and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504) (prohibiting disability-based discrimination in programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance).1

This proposed rule would amend this joint regulation to revise the definitions of certain terms and clarify the procedures for referring these complaints/charges between agencies with responsibility for enforcing title I of the ADA and section 504.  These revisions would create consistency between this regulation and two other coordination regulations (29 CFR part 1641 and 29 CFR part 1691), as well as with the recently revised Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the EEOC and the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).  This MOU addresses the investigation and processing of complaints or charges alleging employment discrimination that may fall within the jurisdiction of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and/or Executive Order 11246.

____________________

1  The proposed rule would also incorporate provisions established by the DOJ's rule on title II of the ADA (which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in all programs and activities of State and local government entities) for coordinating the processing of discrimination complaints that:  (1) Fall within the jurisdiction of title II and title I (but are not covered by section 504); and (2) fall within the jurisdiction of title II, but not title I (whether or not they are covered by section 504). See 28 CFR 35.171(b)(2) and (3).  The revisions described above would not impact the portions of the regulation addressing title II.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EEOC has a joint regulation with the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) to coordinate the processing of disability-based employment discrimination complaints/charges filed against employers holding Government contracts or subcontracts, where the complaints/charges appear to state a claim under both section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 503) (requiring affirmative action and prohibiting disability-based employment discrimination by Federal Government contractors and subcontractors), and title I of the ADA (prohibiting disability-based employment discrimination by employers with 15 or more employees).

This proposed rule would amend this joint regulation to revise the definition of certain terms and clarify the procedures for referring these complaints/charges between the agencies with responsibility for enforcing section 503 and title I of the ADA.  These revisions would create consistency between this regulation and two other coordination regulations (29 CFR part 1640 and 29 CFR part 1691), as well as the recently revised Memorandum of Understanding between EEOC and OFCCP.

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Procedures for Complaints of Employment Discrimination Filed Against Recipients of Federal Financial Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The EEOC has a joint regulation with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to explain how Federal agencies that grant financial assistance or revenue sharing funds should process complaints of employment discrimination subject to various EEO statutes if the complaints allege discrimination that is also prohibited by title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (Title VII), or the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA).1  This proposed rule would amend this joint regulation to revise the definitions of certain terms and clarify the procedures for handling these complaints.  The revisions would create consistency between this regulation and two other coordination regulations (29 CFR part 1640 and 29 CFR part 1641), as well as the recently revised Memorandum of Understanding between EEOC and the Department of Labor's Office Federal Contract Compliance Programs.  This MOU addresses the investigation and processing of complaints or charges alleging employment discrimination that may fall within the jurisdiction of title VII and/or Executive Order 11246.

____________

1  The relevant EEO statutes are: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, title IX of 1972, the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972, as amended (the revenue sharing act), and provisions similar to title VI and title IX in Federal grant statutes to the extent they prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Federal Sector&apos;s Affirmative Employment Obligations of Individuals with Disabilities Under Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as Amended</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended (Section 501), prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in the Federal Government.  The EEOC's regulations implementing section 501, as set forth in 29 CFR part 1614, require Federal agencies and departments to be "model employers" of individuals with disabilities."1

This proposed rule would revise the Federal Government's affirmative employment obligations in 29 CFR part 1614, to include a more detailed explanation of how Federal agencies and departments should "give full consideration to the hiring, placement and advancement of qualified individuals with disabilities."2  The revisions would be informed by the discussion in Management Directive 715 of the tools Federal agencies should use to establish goals for the employment and advancement of individuals with disabilities.  The revisions may also include goals consistent with Executive Order 13548 to increase the employment of individuals with disabilities, with a particular focus on the employment of individuals with targeted disabilities.

The revisions will also give public notice of EEOC utilization of a multitrack FOIA processing procedure, as permitted by the E-FOIA Act of 1996.  In addition, the revisions reflect the transfer of FOIA responsibility in EEOC's field offices from the Regional Attorneys to the District Directors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity Complaint Processing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In January 2012, the Commission approved submission of a draft final rule to OMB under EO 12866 and to all other agencies for interagency coordination under EO 12067.  The interagency coordination period under EO 12067 has concluded.

The Commission is engaged in further review, beyond this rulemaking, of the Federal sector EEO complaint process in order to improve its quality and efficiency.  Areas being examined include the timeliness and quality of complaint processing, the timeframes for filing complaints, perceived conflicts of interest in the way investigations are conducted, the proper role for the Commission and the Federal agencies in the complaint process, alternatives to the current agency investigation process, and the hearings and appellate review process.  

The current rulemaking constitutes the Commission's initial step in that review.  The Commission will consider additional reforms, including, but not limited to, regulatory changes.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disparate Impact and Reasonable Factors Other Than Age Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prior to the Supreme Court's decision in Smith v. City of Jackson, 544 U.S. 228 (2005), 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.  

On March 31, 2008, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to conform Commission ADEA regulations to Smith, also taking the position that the employer bore the burden of proving the defense.  Because previous EEOC regulations did not define the meaning of "RFOA," the NPRM also asked whether regulations should provide more information on the meaning of "reasonable factors other than age" and, if so, what the regulations should say. 73 Fed. Reg. 16807 (March 31, 2008).  Subsequently, the Supreme Court held in Meacham v. Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, 554 U.S. 84 (2008), that employers have the RFOA burdens of production and persuasion.  After consideration of the public comments, and in light of the Supreme Court decisions, the Commission issued a second NPRM on February 18, 2010 to address the scope of the RFOA defense. 75 Fed. Reg. 7212.  A final rule was issued addressing the issues covered in both NPRMs and conforming to both Smith and Meacham.  

The RIN associated with the NPRM titled "Reasonable Factors Other Than Age Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act" (RIN 3046-AA87) was merged with this item (RIN 3046-AA76), which will be the RIN used to identify the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Privacy Act of 1974: Implementation of Exemption for the Office of the Inspector General Investigative Records</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this proposed rulemaking, Ex-Im Bank Office of the Inspector General (OIG) proposes to exempt portions of this system of records from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements.

Ex-Im Bank is proposing to exempt this system, in part, from certain provisions of the Privacy Act.  The OIG is responsible for conducting and supervising independent and objective audits, inspections, and investigations of the programs and operations of Ex-Im Bank. The OIG promotes economy, efficiency, and effectiveness within the Ex-Im Bank and prevents and detects fraud, waste, and abuse in its programs and operations.  The OIG's Office of Investigations investigates allegations of criminal, civil, and administrative misconduct involving Ex-Im Bank employees, contractors, programs and activities.  These investigations can result in criminal prosecutions, fines, civil monetary penalties, and administrative sanctions.

Ex-Im Bank is claiming exemptions from certain requirements of the Privacy Act for the "EIB-35- Office of Inspector General Investigative Records" because information in this system of records relates to official law enforcement activities.  These exemptions are needed to protect information relating to Ex-Im OIG activities from disclosure to subjects of investigations and others related to these activities.  Specifically, the exemptions are required to preclude subjects of investigations from frustrating the investigative process, to avoid disclosure of investigative techniques, to protect the identities and physical safety of confidential informants and law enforcement personnel, to ensure Ex-Im OIG's ability to obtain information from third parties and other sources, to protect the privacy of third parties; to fulfill commitments made to protect the confidentiality of sources, and to safeguard confidential information.  Disclosure of information to the subject of the inquiry could also permit the subject to avoid detection or apprehension.

Ex-Im Bank proposes to amend chapter 4 of title 12, Code of Federal Regulations, as follows:

Part 404-Information Disclosure

Subpart B- Protection of Privacy and Access to Records Under the Privacy Act of 1974

1.	The authority citation for part 404 continues to read as follows: 

Authority 5 U.S.C. 552 and 552a. Section 404.7 also issued under E.O. 12600, 52 FR 23781, 3 CFR, 1987 Comp., p. 235.  Section 404.21 also issued under 5 U.S.C. 552a note. Subpart C also issued under 5 U.S.C. 301, 12 U.S.C. 635.

2.	Add section 404.24 to Subpart B to read as follows:

404.24- Exemptions: EIB-35-Office of Inspector General Investigative Records

(a) Criminal Law Enforcement. (1) Exemption. Under the authority granted by 5 U.S.C. section 552a(j)(2), Ex-Im Bank hereby exempts the system of records entitled "EIB-35- Office of Inspector General Investigative Records" from the provisions of 5 U.S.C. sections 552a (c)(3), (c)(4), (d), (e)(1) through (3), (e)(4)(G) and (H), (e)(5), (e)(8), (f), and (g) because the system contains information pertaining to the enforcement of criminal laws. 
Reasons for exemption. The reasons for asserting this exemption are:

(i) Disclosure to the individual named in the record pursuant to subsections (c)(3), (c)(4), or (d) could seriously impede or compromise the investigation by alerting the target(s), subjecting a potential witness or witnesses to intimidation or improper influence, and leading to destruction of evidence. Disclosure could enable suspects to take action to prevent detection of criminal activities, conceal evidence, or escape prosecution.  

(ii) Application of subsection (e)(1) is impractical because the relevance of specific information might be established only after considerable analysis and as the investigation progresses. Effective law enforcement requires the Office of Inspector General to keep information that may not be relevant to a specific Office of Inspector General investigation, but which may provide leads for appropriate law enforcement and to establish patterns of activity that might relate to the jurisdiction of the Office of Inspector General and/or other agencies.

(iii) Application of subsection (e)(2) would be counterproductive to the performance of a criminal investigation because it would alert the individual to the existence of an investigation. In any investigation, it is necessary to obtain evidence from a variety of sources other than the subject of the investigation in order to verify the evidence necessary for successful litigation.

(iv) Application of subsection (e)(3) could discourage the free flow of information in a criminal law enforcement inquiry.

(v) The requirements of subsections (e)(4)(G) and (H), and (f) would be counterproductive to the performance of a criminal investigation.  To notify an individual at the individual's request of the existence of records in an investigative file pertaining to such individual, or to grant access to an investigative file could interfere with investigative and enforcement proceedings, deprive co-defendants of a right to a fair trial or other impartial adjudication, constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of others, disclose the identity or confidential sources, reveal confidential information supplied by these sources and disclose investigative techniques and procedures.  Nevertheless, Ex-Im Bank OIG has published notice of its notification, access, and contest procedures because access may be appropriate in some cases.

(vi) Although the Office of Inspector General endeavors to maintain accurate records, application of subsection (e)(5) is impractical because maintaining only those records that are accurate, relevant, timely, and complete and that assure fairness in determination is contrary to established investigative techniques. Information that may initially appear inaccurate, irrelevant, untimely, or incomplete may, when collated and analyzed with other available information, become more pertinent as an investigation progresses.

(vii) Application of subsection (e)(8) could prematurely reveal an ongoing criminal investigation to the subject of the investigation.

(viii) The provisions of subsection (g) do not apply to this system if an exemption otherwise applies.

(b) Other Law Enforcement. (1) Exemption. Under the authority granted by 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), Ex-Im Bank hereby exempts the system of records entitled "EIB-35- Office of Inspector General Investigative Records" from the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G) and (H), and (f) for the same reasons as stated in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, that is, because the system contains investigatory material compiled for law enforcement purposes other than material within the scope of subsection 552a(j)(2).
(2) Reasons for exemption. The reasons for asserting this exemption are because the disclosure and other requirements of the Privacy Act could substantially compromise the efficacy and integrity of the Office of Inspector General operations. Disclosure could invade the privacy of other individuals and disclose their identity when they were expressly promised confidentiality. Disclosure could interfere with the integrity of information which would otherwise be subject to privileges (see, e.g., 5 U.S.C. section 552(b)(5)), and which could interfere with other important law enforcement concerns (see, e.g., 5 U.S.C. section 552(b)(7)).

(c) Federal Civilian or Contract Employment. (1) Exemption. Under the authority granted by 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5), Ex-Im Bank hereby exempts the system of records entitled "EIB-35- Office of Inspector General Investigative Records" from the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G) and (H), and (f) because the system contains investigatory material compiled for the purpose of determining eligibility or qualifications for federal civilian or contract employment.
(2) Reason for exemption. The reason for asserting this exemption is to protect from disclosure the identity of a confidential source when an express promise of confidentiality has been given to obtain information from sources who would otherwise be unwilling to provide necessary information.]]></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 autodialed or 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.

On February 15, 2012, the Commission released a Report and Order requiring telemarketers to obtain prior express written consent, including by electronic means, before making an autodialed or prerecorded telemarketing call to a wireless number or before making a prerecorded telemarketing call to a residential line; eliminating the "established business relationship" exemption to the consent requirement for prerecorded telemarketing calls to residential lines; requiring telemarketers to provide an automated, interactive "opt-out" mechanism during autodialed or prerecorded telemarketing calls to wireless numbers and during prerecorded telemarketing calls to residential lines; and requiring that the abandoned call rate for telemarketing calls be calculated on a "per-campaign" basis.]]></ABSTRACT>

This proceeding continues the Commission's inquiry into improving the quality of TRS and furthering the goal of functional equivalency, consistent with Congress' mandate that TRS regulations encourage the use of existing technology and not discourage or impair the development of new technology.  In this docket, the Commission explores ways to improve emergency preparedness for TRS facilities and services, new TRS technologies, public access to information and outreach, and issues related to payments from the Interstate TRS Fund.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consumer Information and Disclosure and Truth in Billing and Billing Format</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 October 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.

On July 12, 2011, the Commission released an NPRM that would assist consumers in detecting and preventing the placement of unauthorized charges on their telephone bills, an unlawful and fraudulent practice, commonly referred to as "cramming."

On April 27, 2012, the Commission adopted rules to address "cramming" on wireline telephone bills and released an FNPRM seeking comment on additional measures.]]></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 (NDBEDP) is to make telecommunications service, Internet access service, and advanced communications, including interexchange services and advanced telecommunications and information services, accessible to 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.

On April 4, 2011, the Commission adopted rules to establish the NDBEDP in accordance with the CVAA and section 719 of the Act.  Under the NDBEDP, the Commission will provide up to $10 million annual support from the Interstate TRS Fund to support programs that distribute equipment that makes telecommunications service, Internet access service, and advanced communications accessible to low-income individuals who are deaf-blind.]]></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 of 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 cutoff 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) establish 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The ESV Report and Order (R&O) established licensing and service rules for ESVs operating in the 5925-6425 MHz/3700-4200 MHz Bands (C-band) and 14.0-14.5 GHz/11.7-12.2 GHz Bands (Ku-band).  The ESV R&O is significant because it furthers two major goals of the Commission: (1) To facilitate the market-driven deployment of broadband technologies; and (2) to maximize the use of available spectrum to advance new technologies while minimizing interference to existing satellite services, such as Fixed Services (FS) and Fixed Satellite Services (FSS).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reporting Requirements for U.S. Providers of International Telecommunications Services (IB Docket No. 04-112) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FCC is reviewing the reporting requirements to which carriers providing U.S.-international services are subject under 47 CFR part 43.  The FCC adopted a First Report and Order that eliminated certain of those requirements.  Specifically, it eliminated the quarterly reporting requirements for large carriers and foreign-affiliated switched resale carriers, 47 CFR 43.61(b), (c); the circuit addition report, 47 CFR 63.23(e); the division of telegraph tolls report, 47 CFR 43.53; and requirement to report separately for U.S off shore points, 43.61(a), 43.82(a).  The FCC also adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that seeks comment on additional reforms to further streamline and modernize the reporting requirements. The FCC also seeks comments on whether providers of interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) should submit data regarding their provision of international telephone services and whether non-common carrier international circuits should be reported.]]></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>

(The NPRM does not address our policies with respect to the application of section 310(b)(4) to broadcast licensees.)  The proposals are designed to reduce to the extent possible the regulatory costs and burdens imposed on wireless common carrier and aeronautical applicants, licensees, and spectrum lessees; provide greater transparency and more predictability with respect to the Commission's filing requirements and review process; and facilitate investment from new sources of capital, while continuing to protect important interests related to national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, and trade policy.  The streamlining proposals in the NPRM may reduce costs and burdens currently imposed on licensees, including those licensees that are small entities, and accelerate the foreign ownership review process, while continuing to ensure that the Commission has the information it needs to carry out its statutory duties.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FCC is reviewing the International Settlements Policy (ISP), which governs how U.S. carriers negotiate with foreign carriers for the exchange of international traffic and is the structure by which the Commission has sought to respond to concerns that foreign carriers with market power are able to take advantage of the presence of multiple U.S. carriers serving a particular market.  In the NPRM, the FCC proposes to further deregulate the international telephony market and enable U.S. consumers to enjoy competitive prices when they make calls to international destinations.  First, it proposes to remove the ISP from all international routes, except Cuba.  Second, the FCC seeks comment on a proposal to enable the Commission to better protect U.S. consumers from the effects of anticompetitive conduct by foreign carriers in instances necessitating Commission intervention.  Specifically, it seeks comments on proposals and issues regarding the application of the Commission's benchmarks policy.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Competitive Availability of Navigation Devices (CS Docket No. 97-80)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission has adopted rules to address the mandate expressed in section 629 of the Communications Act to ensure the commercial availability of "navigation devices," the equipment used to access video programming and other services from multichannel video programming systems. 

Specifically, 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 action, the Commission made rule changes 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.

In the Fifth Report and Order, the Commission sunset some of the initial rules adopted to accommodate the broadcast DTV transition based on changes in the marketplace and technology that have occurred since the transition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Second Periodic Review of Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to DTV (MB Docket 03-15)</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 multistep 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 of revisions to broadcast transmission standards.

The Second R&O adopts disclosure requirements for televisions that do not include a digital tuner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Enhanced and Standardized Disclosure (MM Docket No. 00-168; MB Docket No. 11-189)</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 2000 NPRM proposed 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 2008 Report and Order, a standardized form was adopted and a requirement was imposed obligating stations to place a portion of its public inspection file on the Internet.  In 2011, on reconsideration, the Commission vacated the prior Report and Order and sought comment on proposals intended to make broadcaster information more accessible to the public.  Comment was also sought on proposals to streamline the standardized disclosure form.

The Second Report and Order modernized the procedures television broadcasters use to inform the public about how they are serving their communities by establishing a requirement that stations post their public files online in a Commission-hosted database.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Broadcast Ownership Rules</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 202(h) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requires the Commission to review its ownership rules every four years and determine whether any such rules are necessary in the public interest as the result of competition.

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.  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.  

For the 2010 quadrennial review, five of the Commission's media rules are the subject of review:  The local TV ownership rule; the local radio ownership rule; the newspaper broadcast cross-ownership rule; the radio/TV cross-ownership rule; and the dual network rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Program Access Rules--Sunset of Exclusive Contracts Prohibition and Examination of Programming Tying Arrangements (MB Docket Nos. 12-68, 07-198)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The program access provisions of the Communications Act (sec. 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.

In March 2012, the Commission sought comment on whether to retain, relax, or sunset the exclusive contracts prohibition.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Third Periodic Review of the Commission&apos;s Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital Television (MB Docket No. 07-91)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Congress has mandated that after February 17, 2009, full-power broadcast stations must transmit only in digital signals, and may no longer transmit analog signals.  This proceeding is the Commission's third periodic review of the transition of the nation's broadcast television system from analog to digital television (DTV).  The Commission conducts these periodic reviews in order to assess the progress of the transition and make any necessary adjustments to the Commission's rules and policies to facilitate the introduction of DTV service and the recovery of spectrum at the end of the transition.  In this review, the Commission considers how to ensure that broadcasters complete construction of their final post-transition (digital) facilities by the statutory deadline.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment for Eligibility Rules for FM Broadcast Translator Stations (MB Docket No. 07-172)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On July 14, 2006, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) filed a Petition for Rulemaking proposing that the Commission amend its rules to allow AM broadcast stations to operate FM translator stations.  The NAB Petition proposed that AM stations be permitted to license and/or use FM translator stations to retransmit their AM service as a fill-in service.  Specifically, the NAB proposed that AM stations be allowed to use FM translator stations to rebroadcast the AM signal, within specific technical parameters.  The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposed rules permitting the use of FM translators by AM stations and examines the issues related to such a rule change, including the issue of program origination at night over FM translators by AM daytime-only stations.  The resulting Report and Order adopted changes to the FM translator rules to permit AM retransmission.

In March 2012, the Commission adopted a market specific translator application processing approach to implement the Local Community Radio Act of 2010.  Also adopted were rule modifications to enable greater use of cross service translators.]]></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 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.

In the third FNPRM, the Commission seeks comment on the impact of the Local Community Radio Act on the procedures previously adopted.  

The Fourth Report and Order adopts translator application necessary policies to effectuate the requirement of the Local Community Radio Act of 2010.

In the Fifth Report and Order, the Commission modified rules to implement provisions of the Local Community Radio Act of 2010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Policies To Promote Rural Radio Service and To Streamline Allotment and Assignment Procedures (MB Docket No. 09-52)                       </RULE_TITLE>
        <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.

The Commission adopted a second FNPRM in order to develop a more comprehensive record regarding measures to assist Federally recognized Native American tribes and Alaska native villages in obtaining commercial FM station authorizations.  In the second R&O, the Commission adopted a number of procedures, procedural changes, and clarifications of existing rules and procedures, designed to promote ownership and programming diversity, especially by Native American tribes, and to promote the initiation and retention of radio service in and to smaller communities and rural areas.

In the Third R&O, the Commission adopted procedures to enable a Tribe or Tribal entity to qualify for Tribal Allotments added to the FM allotment table.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Promoting Diversification of Ownership in the Broadcast Services (MB Docket No. 07-294)</RULE_TITLE>
        <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.

Pursuant to a remand from the Third Circuit, the measures adopted in the 2009 Diversity Order were put forth for comment in the NPRM for the 2010 review of the Commission's Broadcast Ownership rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Cable systems and other multichannel video programming distributors are not entitled to retransmit a broadcast station's signal without the station's consent.

In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission seeks comment on proposed revisions to or clarifications of the program carriage rules.  These changes are intended to improve procedures and to advance the goals of the program carriage statute.]]></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 seventh 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 eighth 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 licensees' relocation obligations.

The ninth 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 ninth Report and Order.

The Report and Orders and Declaratory Ruling concludes the Commission's longstanding efforts to relocate the Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS) from the 1990-2110 MHz band to the 2025-2110 MHz band, freeing up 35 megahertz of spectrum in order to foster the development of new and innovative services. This decision addresses the outstanding matter of Sprint Nextel Corporation's (Sprint Nextel) inability to agree with Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) operators in the band on the sharing of the costs to relocate the BAS incumbents. To resolve this controversy, the Commission applied its time-honored relocation principles for emerging technologies previously adopted for the BAS band to the instant relocation process, where delays and unanticipated developments have left ambiguities and misconceptions among the relocating parties.  In the process, the Commission balances the responsibilities for and benefits of relocating incumbent BAS operations among all the new entrants in the different services that will operate in the band.

The Commission proposed to modify its cost sharing requirements for the 2 GHz BAS band because the circumstances surrounding the BAS transition are very different than what was expected when the cost sharing requirements were adopted. The Commission believed that the best course of action was to propose new requirements that would address the ambiguity of applying the literal language of the current requirements to the changed circumstances, as well as balance the responsibilities for and benefits of relocating incumbent BAS operations among all new entrants in the band based on the Commission's relocation policies set forth in the Emerging Technologies proceeding.


The Commission proposed to eliminate, as of January 1, 2009, the requirement that Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS) licensees in the thirty largest markets and fixed BAS links in all markets be transitioned before the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) operators can begin offering service. The Commission also sought comments on how to mitigate interference between new MSS entrants and incumbent BAS licensees who had not completed relocation before the MSS entrants begin offering service. In addition, the Commission sought comments on allowing MSS operators to begin providing service in those markets where BAS incumbents have been transitioned.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Broadband Over Power Line Systems </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposed 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 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 provision 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 further 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 emissions from Access BPL systems. 

In the Second Report and Order (Second Order), the Commission fundamentally affirmed its rules for Access Broadband over Power Line (Access BPL) systems.  The Commission also made certain minor modifications to improve and clarify the rules.  These rules provide an appropriate balance between the dual objectives of providing for Access BPL technology that has potential applications for broadband and Smart Grid while protecting incumbent radio services against harmful interference.

The Commission adopted rules for Access BPL systems in 2004 and affirmed those rules in 2006.  The BPL rules were challenged by the national association for amateur radio, formally known as the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in ARRL v. FCC.  In ARRL v. FCC, the court directed the Commission to:  1) make part of the rulemaking record unredacted versions of several staff technical studies which the Commission considered in promulgating the rules; 2) provide a reasonable opportunity for public comment on those studies; and 3) provide a reasoned explanation of its choice of the extrapolation factor for use in measuring radiated emissions from Access BPL systems.  In response, the Commission issued a Request for Further Comment and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in this proceeding (RFC/FNPRM).  In the RFC/FNPRM, the Commission took its first step in responding to the directives of the court in ARRL v. FCC and also took that opportunity to review the Access BPL extrapolation factor and propose certain changes to the BPL technical rules that appeared appropriate in view of new information and further consideration of this matter.  In this Second Order, the Commission completes its action addressing the court's concerns and its proposals in the RFC/FNPRM.  It finds that the information submitted in response to the RFC/FNPRM does not warrant any changes to the emissions standards or the extrapolation factor.  However, the Commission is making several refinements to its Access BPL rules.  In particular, it is: 1) modifying the rules to increase the required notch filtering capability for systems operating below 30 MHz from 20 dB to 25 dB; 2) establishing a new alternative procedure for determining site specific extrapolation factors generally as described in the RFC/FNPRM; and 3) adopting a definition for the "slant range distance" used in the BPL measurement guidelines to further clarify its application.  The Commission finds that the benefits of the changes to the rules outweigh their regulatory costs.]]></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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Operation in the 57-64 GHz Band (ET Docket No. 07-113)</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.

The Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking requested comment on a number of issues related to the designation of Medical Body Area Network ("MBAN") coordinator(s) for the 2360-2390 MHz band. Although the Commission adopted a coordination requirement in the First Report and Order that was concurrently adopted in this proceeding, released May 24, 2012, FCC 12-54,  it also determined that additional notice and comment was required on key aspects related to the process and criteria for designating an MBAN coordinator, such as whether the Commission should designate one or more MBAN coordinators, the term of service for an MBAN coordinator, the qualifying criteria that should guide our selection of an MBAN coordinator, and fees to register with an MBAN coordinator and to coordinate MBAN and aeronautical mobile telemetry (AMT) operations.

The First Report and Order in this proceeding expands the Commission's Medical Device Radiocommunications Service (MedRadio) rules to permit the development of new Medical Body Area Network (MBAN) devices in the 2360-2400 MHz band.   The MBAN technology will provide a flexible platform for the wireless networking of multiple body transmitters used for the purpose of measuring and recording physiological parameters and other patient information or for performing diagnostic or therapeutic functions, primarily in health care facilities.  This platform will enhance patient safety, care, and comfort by reducing the need to physically connect sensors to essential monitoring equipment by cables and wires.  This decision is the latest in a series of actions to expand the spectrum available for wireless medical use.  The Commission finds that the risk of increased interference is minimal and is greatly outweighed by the benefits of the MBAN rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Additional Spectrum for the Medical Device Radiocommunication Service (ET Docket No. 09-36)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) the Commission seeks comment on the feasibility of allowing up to 24 megahertz of spectrum in the 413-457 MHz band to be used on a secondary basis under the umbrella of the existing Medical Device Radiocommunication Service.  This action reflects the Commission's ongoing effort to foster the development and deployment of advanced medical devices using wireless technologies that benefit the health and well-being of the American public.

In the Report and Order (R&O), the Commission expands the Medical Device Radiocommunication (MedRadio) Service under part 95 of the Commission's rules to permit the use of new wideband medical implant devices that employ neuromuscular microstimulation techniques to restore sensation, mobility, and other functions to paralyzed limbs and organs.  These medical devices hold enormous promise to advance the state of medical care, lower health costs, and improve the quality of life for countless Americans.  The rules adopted by the Commission will allow these new types of MedRadio devices to access 24 megahertz of spectrum in the 413-419 MHz, 426-432 MHz, 438-444 MHz, and 451-457 MHz bands on a secondary basis.

The Commission's action is part of a larger effort to recognize and facilitate the significant advances in wireless medical technologies that are revolutionizing treatment for a wide variety of medical conditions and creating new health care models to benefit all Americans.  Such advances have the potential to significantly improve the quality of life and sophistication of therapy for countless Americans living with a variety of medical conditions and, in turn, could result in lower medical costs and extend the time between hospital visits and surgical procedures.  The devices that we expect to be deployed under the rules we adopt herein hold the promise of safer, less invasive, and more effective treatment options than those available under current medical practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amateur Radio Use of the Allocation at 5 MHz (ET Docket No. 10-98)
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (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.

The Report and Order amends the Commission's rules to facilitate more efficient and effective use by the Amateur Radio Service of five channels in the 5330.5 5406.4 kHz band (the 60 meter band).  Specifically, and consistent with our proposals in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in this proceeding, the Commission replaces one of the channels with a less encumbered one, increases the maximum authorized power amateur stations may transmit in this band, and authorizes amateur stations to transmit three additional emission designators.  The Commission also adopts an additional operational rule that prohibits the use of automatically controlled digital stations and makes editorial revisions to the relevant portions of the Table of Frequency Allocations (Allocation Table) and our service rules.]]></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 Rulemaking 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.

The Report and Order modified Part 15 of the rules governing the operation of Unlicensed Personal Communications Service (UPCS) devices in the 1920-1930 MHz band (UPCS band) to promote more efficient use of the UPCS band and to facilitate the introduction of a new generation of unlicensed devices capable of supporting broadband connectivity using Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) technology.

Specifically, the Commission eliminated the least-interfered channel monitoring threshold for UPCS devices and reduced the number of duplex system access channels that a UPCS device must define and monitor from 40 to 20 channels in order to use the least-interfered channel access method. These changes will provide UPCS devices, particularly those designed to transmit with wider bandwidths but that define fewer than 40 channels, access to more usable channels (i.e., combined time and spectrum windows) than are permitted under the existing rules, and unleash innovative cordless broadband technologies in the UPCS band, while limiting the potential for causing interference to other devices. The Commission also modified the rules to remove outdated provisions and to make other minor updates.]]></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 Rulemaking proposed 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 proposed to add co-primary Fixed and Mobile allocations to the existing Mobile-Satellite allocation.  This would lay the groundwork for providing additional flexibility in use of the 2 GHz spectrum in the future.  The Commission also proposed 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 asked, 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 requested 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. 

In the Report and Order the Commission amended its rules to make additional spectrum available for new investment in mobile broadband networks while also ensuring that the United States maintains robust mobile satellite service capabilities. First, the Commission adds co-primary Fixed and Mobile allocations to the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) 2 GHz band, consistent with the International Table of Allocations, allowing more flexible use of the band, including for terrestrial broadband services, in the future. Second, to create greater predictability and regulatory parity with the bands licensed for terrestrial mobile broadband service, the Commission extends its existing secondary market spectrum manager spectrum leasing policies, procedures, and rules that currently apply to wireless terrestrial services to terrestrial services provided using the Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) of an MSS system.
 
Petitions for Reconsideration have been filed in the Commission's rulemaking proceeding concerning Fixed and Mobile Services in the Mobile Satellite Service Bands at 1525-1559 MHz and 1626.5-1660.5 MHz, 1610-1626.5 MHz and 2483.5-2500 MHz, and 2000-2020 MHz and 2180-2200 MHz, and published pursuant to 47 CFR 1.429(e).

        <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, to spur ongoing innovation and investment in mobile technology, and to 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.

In the Report and Order, the Commission took preliminary steps toward making a significant portion of the UHF and VHF frequency bands (U/V Bands) currently used by the broadcast television service available for new uses. This action serves to further address the nation's growing demand for wireless broadband services, promote the ongoing innovation and investment in mobile communications, and ensure that the United States keeps pace with the global wireless revolution. At the same time, the approach helps preserve broadcast television as a healthy, viable medium and would be consistent with the general proposal set forth in the National Broadband Plan to repurpose spectrum from the U/V bands for new wireless broadband uses through, in part, voluntary contributions of spectrum to an incentive auction. This action is consistent with the recent enactment by Congress of new incentive auction authority for the Commission (Spectrum Act). Specifically, this item sets out a framework by which two or more television licensees may share a single six MHz channel in connection with an incentive auction.

However, the Report and Order did not act on the proposals in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to establish fixed and mobile allocations in the U/V bands or to improve TV service on VHF channels. The Report and Order stated that the Commission will undertake a broader rulemaking to implement the Spectrum Act's provisions relating to an incentive auction for U/V band spectrum, and that it believes it will be more efficient to act on new allocations in the context of that rulemaking. In addition, the record created in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking does not establish a clear way forward to significantly increase the utility of the VHF bands for the operation of television services.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission initiated this proceeding to promote innovation and efficiency in spectrum use in the Experimental Radio Service (ERS).  For many years, the ERS has provided fertile ground for testing innovative ideas that have led to new services and new devices for all sectors of the economy.  The Commission proposes to leverage the power of experimental radio licensing to accelerate the rate at which these ideas transform from prototypes to consumer devices and services.  Its goal is to inspire researchers to dream, discover, and deliver the innovations that push the boundaries of the broadband ecosystem.  The resulting advancements in devices and services available to the American public and greater spectrum efficiency over the long term will promote economic growth, global competitiveness, and a better way of life for all Americans.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Operation of Radar Systems in the 76-77 GHz Band; ET Docket No. 11-90</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposes to amend its rules to enable enhanced vehicular radar technologies in the 76-77 GHz band to improve collision avoidance and driver safety. Vehicular radars can determine the exact distance and relative speed of objects in front of, beside, or behind a car to improve the driver's ability to perceive objects under bad visibility conditions or objects that are in blind spots.  These modifications to the rules will provide more efficient use of spectrum, and enable the automotive and fixed radar application industries to develop enhanced safety measures for drivers and the general public.  The Commission takes this action in response to petitions for rulemaking filed by Toyota Motor Corporation ("TMC") and Era Systems Corporation ("Era").

This Report and Order amends the Commission's rules to provide a more efficient use of the 76-77 GHz band, and to enable the automotive and aviation industries to develop enhanced safety measures for drivers and the general public. Specifically, the Commission is eliminated the in-motion and not-in-motion distinction for vehicular radars, and instead adopted new uniform emission limits for forward, side, and rear-looking vehicular radars. This will facilitate enhanced vehicular radar technologies to improve collision avoidance and driver safety. The Commission also amended its rules to allow the operation of fixed radars at airport locations in the 76-77 GHz band for purposes of detecting foreign object debris on runways and monitoring aircraft and service vehicles on taxiways and other airport vehicle service areas that have no public vehicle access. The Commission took this action in response to petitions for rulemaking filed by Toyota Motor Corporation ("TMC") and Era Systems Corporation ("Era").]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Part 15 Auditory Assistance Device; (ET Docket No. 10-26) 
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking the Commission proposed to amend the definition of "auditory assistance device" in the Commission's rules to allow such devices to be used by anyone at any location for simultaneous language interpretation, where the spoken words are translated continuously in near real time.  This was action taken in response to a petition for declaratory ruling filed by Williams Sound Corporation (Williams Sound Petition), a provider of wireless auditory assistance devices.  The current definition restricts the use of Part 15 auditory assistance devices that operate in the 72.0-73.0 MHz, 74.6-74.8 MHz, and 75.2-76.0 MHz bands (72-76 MHz bands) to auditory assistance to a handicapped person or persons; such devices may be used for auricular training in an educational institution, for auditory assistance at places of public gatherings, such as a church, theater, or auditorium, and to handicapped individuals, only, in other locations.  The proposed amendment would permit Part 15 auditory assistance devices that operate in the 72-76 MHz bands to be used by anyone at any location for simultaneous language interpretation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Tank Level Probing Radars; ET Docket No. 10-23</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposed to expand the scope of this proceeding to propose a set of technical rules for the operation of unlicensed level probing radars (LPR) in several frequency bands. LPR devices are low-power radars that measure the level (relative height) of various substances in man-made or natural containments. In open-air environments, LPR devices may be used to measure levels of materials such as coal piles or water basin levels. An LPR device also may be installed inside an enclosure, e.g., a tank made of materials such as steel or fiberglass and commonly referred to as a tank level probing radar (TLPR) that could be filled with liquids or granulates. During the pendency of the rulemaking proceeding, but outside this proceeding, the Commission received waiver requests and other inquiries regarding outdoor use on additional frequencies under existing rules for unlicensed devices. To address the apparent need for a comprehensive and consistent approach to LPR devices, the Commission proposed in this FNPRM rules that would apply to the operation of LPR devices installed in both open-air environments and inside storage tanks in the following frequency bands: 5.925-7.250 GHz, 24.05-29.00 GHz, and 75-85 GHz.]]></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 email 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; PS Docket No. 11-82</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 2004 Report and Order extended the Commission's outage reporting requirements to non-wireline carriers and streamlined reporting through a new electronic template.  Nine petitions for reconsideration were filed and remain pending.  A Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding the unique communications needs of airports also remains pending.

The 2012 Report and Order extended the Commission's outage reporting requirements to interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) services where there is a complete loss of connectivity that has the potential to affect at least 900,000 user minutes.  Interconnected VOIP service providers will file outage reports through the same electronic mechanism as providers of other services.  They will be required to submit a "Notification" and a "Final Report."  A notification is due within four hours of discovering a reportable outage when the outage affects a facility serving a 911 call center, and within 24 hours when the outage does not affect such facilities.  A Final Report is due within 30 days.  The Commission deferred action on extending the outage reporting requirements to broadband Internet services and to circumstances where technical conditions (such as packet loss, latency, and/or jitter) effectively prevent communication.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>In the Matter of Review of the Emergency Alert System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This revision of 47 CFR part 11 was necessary to accommodate the required adoption of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) as a new technical requirement.

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. 

In the Second FNPRM in EB Docket No. 04-296, the Commission sought comment on procedures and reporting requirements for implementing a nationwide test of the EAS.  
	
In the Third Report and Order in EB Docket No. 04-296, the Commission adopted rules governing the procedures and reporting requirements for implementing a nationwide test of the EAS.

In the third FNPRM in EB Docket No. 04-296, the Commission sought comment on tentative conclusions and proposed revisions to the Commission's part 11 rules to integrate into the part 11 rules that CAP-related mandates adopted in the second Report and Order.  

In the Fourth Report and Order in EB Docket No. 04-296, the Commission addressed the single issue of establishing a new deadline of June 30, 2012, for meeting the CAP-related deadline imposed by the Commission's Second Report and Order.

In the Fifth Report and Order in EB Docket No. 04-296, the Commission addressed the remainder of the issues raised in the third FNPRM by revising its part 11 EAS rules to specify the manner in which EAS participants must be able to receive alert messages formatted in the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and by streamlining the part 11 rules to enhance their effectiveness and clarity.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Related to the proceedings in which the FCC has previously acted to improve the quality of all emergency services, this action requires wireless carriers to take steps to provide more specific automatic location information in connection with 911 emergency calls to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) in areas where wireless carriers have not done so in the past.  Wireless licensees must now satisfy amended Enhanced 911 location accuracy standards at either a county-based or a PSAP-based geographic level.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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' 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>Facilitating the Provision of Fixed and Mobile Broadband Access, Educational, and Other Advanced Services in the 2150-2162 and 2500-2690 MHz Bands
</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.

In addition, the Commission has sought comment on a proposal intended to make it possible to use wider channel bandwidths for the provision of broadband services in these spectrum bands.  The proposed changes may permit operators to use spectrum more efficiently, and to provide higher data rates to consumers, thereby advancing key goals of the National Broadband Plan.]]></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>

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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fixed and Mobile Services in the Mobile Satellite Service Bands at 1525-1559 MHz and 1626.5-1660.5 MHz, 1610-1626.5 MHz and 2483.5-2500 MHz, and 2000-2020 MHz and 2180-2200 MHz</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission proposes to increase the Nation's supply of spectrum for mobile broadband by removing unnecessary barriers to flexible use of spectrum currently assigned to the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) in the 2 GHz band.  This proposal would carry out a recommendation in the National Broadband Plan that the Commission enable the provision of stand-alone terrestrial services in this spectrum.   We do so by proposing service, technical, assignment, and licensing rules for this spectrum.  These proposed rules are designed to provide for flexible use of this spectrum, to encourage innovation and investment in mobile broadband, and to provide a stable regulatory environment in which broadband deployment could develop.  Additionally, in our Notice of Inquiry, we seek comment on potential ways to free up additional valuable spectrum to address the Nation's growing demand for mobile broadband spectrum.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission seeks comment on whether the customers of lower 700 MHz B and C block licensees would experience harmful interference--and if so, to what degree, if the lower 700 MHz band were interoperable.  The Commission also explores the next steps should it find that interoperability would cause limited or no harmful interference to lower 700 MHz B and C block licensees, or that such interference can reasonably be mitigated through industry efforts and/or through modifications to the Commission's technical rules or other regulatory measures.]]></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, 2011) 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.

On October 27, 2011, the Commission adopted a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (USF/ICC Transformation Order) that fundamentally reformed the intercarrier compensation (ICC) regimes.  First, the Commission adopted rules to immediately address access stimulation and "phantom traffic."  Second, the Commission adopted comprehensive intercarrier compensation reform based on a uniform national bill-and-keep framework as the ultimate end state for all telecommunications traffic exchanged with a LEC.  In order to facilitate predictability and stability, the Commission adopted a gradual, measured transition that focused on reducing terminating switched access rates.  The Commission required carriers to cap most ICC rates as of the effective date of the Order.  To reduce the disparity between intrastate and interstate terminating end office rates, the Commission next required carriers to bring these rates to parity within two steps by July 2013.  Thereafter, the Commission required carriers to reduce their termination (and for some carriers also transport) rates to bill-and-keep, within 6 years for price cap carriers and 9 for rate-of-return carriers.  To mitigate the effect of reduced intercarrier revenues on carriers, the Commission adopted a transitional recovery mechanism.  The mechanism allows incumbent LECs to recover ICC revenues reduced as part of our intercarrier compensation reforms, up to a defined baseline, from alternate revenue sources: incremental and limited increases in end user rates and, where appropriate, universal service support through the Connect America Fund.  The Commission also clarified the prospective payment obligations for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) traffic exchanged between a LEC and another carrier and adopted a transitional framework for this traffic.  Further, the Commission clarified certain aspects of CMRS-LEC compensation to reduce disputes and address existing ambiguity.  In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,  the Commission sought comment on additional topics that will guide the next steps to comprehensive reform of the intercarrier compensation system initiated in the Report and Order.

On December 23, 2011 the Commission adopted an Order on Reconsideration that modified one aspect of the transition to a bill-and-keep framework for intercarrier compensation adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order. As adopted, the USF/ICC Transformation Order made bill-and-keep the default intercarrier compensation methodology applicable to non-access traffic exchanged between local exchange carriers (LECs) and Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) providers as of December 29, 2011.  The December 23, 2011 Order on Reconsideration modifies the default bill-and-keep methodology for non-access traffic exchanged between local exchange carriers and Commercial Mobile Radio Service providers to make it consistent with the state of the transitional intercarrier compensation recovery mechanism, also adopted in the October 27, 2011 Report and Order, for carriers that were exchanging LEC-CMRS traffic under existing interconnection agreements prior to October 27, 2011.

On February 3, 2012, the Wireline Competition Bureau and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (the Bureaus) adopted an Order on delegated authority to revise and clarify certain rules adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order.  Several of these rule revisions and clarifications relate to intercarrier compensation.  First, the Order corrected and revised 47 CFR sections 51.917(d)(1)(i)(3)-(4) so that the recovery mechanism calculation expressed in those rule sections corresponds to paragraph 899 of the USF/ICC Transformation Order.  Second, the Order clarifies that the data filing requirements for recovery mechanism compliance monitoring and for Access Recovery Charge (ARC) justification will be as consistent with one another as possible, and will be in the same or similar format where possible.  Third, the Order clarified that the prospective VoIP-PSTN framework adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order applies to the interstate rates as well as the interstate structure, including both per-minute (usage sensitive) and flat rates (dedicated) charges.  Fourth, the Order clarified that, in the limited circumstance of implementing the new intercarrier compensation for VoIP regime when a carrier's intrastate access rate is lower than its corresponding interstate access rate, that carrier may not include a rate for toll VoIP/PSTN traffic in its intrastate tariff that is higher than its intrastate access rate.  Fifth, the Order clarified that rules revisions adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order related to access stimulation complement previous Commission decisions related to access stimulation, and that nothing in the USF/ICC Transformation Order should be construed as overturning previous Commission decisions. The February 3, 2012 Order also clarified that any arrangement between a LEC and another party, including to an affiliate, that results in the generation of switched access traffic to the LEC and provides for the net payment of consideration of any kind, whether fixed fee or otherwise, to the other party, including an affiliate, is considered to be "based on the billing and collection of access charges."  Finally, the February 3 Order clarified that the USF/ICC Transformation Order, in adopting an "interim default riles allocating responsibility for transport costs applicable to non-access traffic exchanged between CMRS providers and rural, rate-of-return regulated LECs, did not intend to affect the existing rules governing points of interconnection between CMRS providers and price cap regulated carriers.

On February 27, 2012, the Wireline Competition Bureau (the Bureau) adopted, on delegated authority, another Order to revise and clarify certain rules adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order.  This Order amended an intercarrier compensation rule, 47 CFR section 61.26(f), to clarify that a carrier's ability to charge access charges under tariffs, as described in that rule, is limited by 47 CFR section 51.913(b), which expressly states that "[t]his rule does not permit a local exchange carrier to charge for functions not performed by the local exchange carrier itself or the affiliated or unaffiliated provider of interconnected VoIP service or non-interconnected VoIP service." 

On April 24, 2012, the Commission adopted a Second Order on Reconsideration that modified one aspect of the VoIP intercarrier compensation rules adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order.  This Order amended 47 CFR section 51.913(a) to permit LECs, prospectively, to tariff their transitional default rates equal to their intrastate originating access rates when they originate intrastate toll VoIP traffic until June 30, 2014.
 
On June 5, 2012, the Wireline Competition Bureau (the Bureau) adopted, on delegated authority, an Order to revise and clarify rules adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order relating to the transition of intrastate switched access rates and operation of the transitional recovery mechanism.  The Order revised 47 CFR sections 51.907 and 51.909 to clarify that the required reductions to intrastate switched access rates may be made to the rate level for any intrastate switched access rate so long as the lowered rates produce a reduction in revenues equal to the total reduction required in 2012.  The Order also revised 47 CFR sections 51.915 and 51.917 to clarify that non-CMRS reciprocal compensation traffic exchanged pursuant to a bill-and-keep arrangement should not be included in demand for the purpose of intercarrier compensation rate transition calculations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This NPRM proposes to eliminate our current service quality reports (ARMIS Report 43-05 and 43-06) and replace them with a more consumer-oriented report.  The NPRM proposes to reduce the reporting categories from more than 30 to 6, and addresses the needs of carriers, consumers, state public utility commissions, and other interested parties.

On February 15, 2005, the Commission adopted an Order that extended the Federal-State Joint Conference on Accounting Issues until March 1, 2007.]]></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>IP-Enabled Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The notice seeks comment on ways in which the Commission might categorize or regulate IP-enabled services. 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.]]></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 1 year, to June 30, 2011, the deadline for participants to select a vendor and request funding commitments under the Pilot Program. 

On July 9, 2012, the Commission released an Order maintaining support on a limited, interim, fiscally responsible basis for specific rural Health Care Pilot Program (Pilot Program) participants that have exhausted their funding this year or will exhaust such funding during funding year 2012.

On February 27, 2012, the Wireline Competition Bureau released a Public Notice seeking comment on whether to fund Rural Health Care Pilot Program (Pilot Program) participants who will exhaust funding allocated to them before or during funding year 2012 (July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013).

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 nonprofit health care providers. 

In May 2011, the Wireline Competition Bureau extended by 1 year, until June 30, 2012, the deadline for participants to select a vendor and request funding commitments under the Pilot Program.  The Bureau also extended by 1 year, the invoice deadline for Pilot Program participants.]]></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 sought comment on the types of activities that are caused increases in interstate access demand and the effects of such demand increases on the cost structures of LECs.  The Commission also sought comment on several means of ensuring just and reasonable rates going forward.  The NPRM invited 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 were filed on April 1, 2011, and reply comments were filed on April 18, 2011.

In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, we defined access stimulation.  The access stimulation definition we adopted has two conditions:  (1) a revenue sharing condition; and (2) an additional traffic volume condition, which is met where the LEC either:  (a) has a three-to-one interstate terminating-to-originating traffic ratio in a calendar month; or (b) has had more than a 100 percent growth in interstate originating and/or terminating switched access minutes of use in a month compared to the same month in the preceding year.  If both conditions are satisfied, the LEC generally must file revised tariffs to account for its increased traffic.]]></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.  In 2011, the Commission adopted a Report and Order extending the separations freeze for an additional year to June 2012.

The Commission is considering a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding extending the separations freeze for an additional two years to June 2014.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Preserving the Open Internet; Broadband Industry Practices  </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 2009, the FCC launched a public process to determine whether and what actions might be necessary to preserve the characteristics that have allowed the Internet to grow into an indispensable platform supporting our nation's economy and civic life. After receiving input from more than 100,000 individuals and organizations and several public workshops, this process has made clear that the Internet has thrived because of its freedom and openness--the absence of any gatekeeper blocking lawful uses of the network or picking winners and losers online.  The Open Internet Order builds on the bipartisan Internet Policy Statement the Commission adopted in 2005.  The Order requires that all broadband providers are required to be transparent by disclosing their network management practices, performance, and commercial terms; fixed providers may not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices; fixed providers may not unreasonably discriminate in transmitting lawful network traffic; mobile providers may not block access to lawful Web sites, or applications that compete with their voice or video telephony services; and all providers may engage in "reasonable network management," such as managing the network to address congestion or security issues.  The rules do not prevent broadband providers from offering specialized services, such as facilities-based VoIP; do not prevent providers from blocking unlawful content or unlawful transfers of content; and do not supersede any obligation or authorization a provider may have to address the needs of emergency communications or law enforcement, public safety, or national security authorities.]]></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.

On June 9, 2011, the Commission adopted rule revisions to require all tariff filiers to file tariffs using ETFS.  Carriers were given a 60 day window in order to make their initial filings on ETFS.  On October 13, 2011, the Commission announced that all tariff filiers should file their initial Base Document and/or Informational Tariff using the ETFS between November 17, 2011 and January 17, 2012.  After January 17, 2012, all carriers would be required to use ETFS on a going forward basis to file their tariff documents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Access for Price Cap Local Exchange Carriers, WC Docket No. 05-25; </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In the Report and Order, released on August 22, 2012, the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") suspends, on an interim basis, the rules allowing for automatic pricing flexibility grants for special access services, pending adoption of new rules. The Report and Order also initiates a process to gather data needed to inform the process of developing new pricing flexibility rules.  

In 1999, the Commission's Pricing Flexibility Order created rules allowing for automatic grants of pricing flexibility for special access services in order to ensure that the Commission's price cap rules did not interfere with the development of competition in interstate access markets.  The pricing flexibility rules are based on a proxy for measuring actual and potential competition in special access markets; specifically, a carrier can obtain pricing flexibility when it has made certain showings as to the extent of collocation by competitive carriers within a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).  

The Report and Order reflects the Commission's determination that the pricing flexibility rules are not working as predicted in the Pricing Flexibility Order.  First, the record demonstrates that MSAs are too large a geographic area to accurately reflect the scope of competitive special access market entry, which tends to occur on a more granular basis.  Second, the record raises significant questions about whether collocation is a viable proxy for facilities-based special access competition.  In light of this evidence, the Report and Order suspends the special access pricing flexibility rules pending the adoption of more accurate proxies for competition in the special access market.  Given the identified problems with the proxies, the Report and Order finds that it would be inappropriate to allow new grants of pricing flexibility under these rules; thus, the Commission suspends section 1.774(f)(1) of its rules, 47 CFR section 1.774(f)(1), which provides that petitions for pricing flexibility for special access services that are not denied within 90 days after the close of the pleading cycle are deemed granted by operation of law.

In this Report and Order, the Commission also initiates a process to obtain data needed to conduct a special access market analysis.  Based on the forthcoming data collection, the Commission will undertake a robust special access market analysis to determine the extent to which the special access market is competitive and develop special access pricing flexibility rules to replace the collocation-based competitive showings.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 15G generally requires the securitizer of asset-backed securities to retain not less than 5 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule would require the reporting of incentive-based compensation arrangements by a covered financial institution and prohibit incentive-based compensation arrangements at a covered financial institution that provide excessive compensation or that could expose the institution to inappropriate risks that could lead to material financial loss.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Assessments, Large Bank Pricing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 7, 2011, the Board adopted a final rule that amended its assessment regulations, by, among other things, establishing a new methodology for determining assessment rates for large and highly complex institutions.  The rules uses a scorecard method to determine large or highly complex institution's assessment rate.  One of the financial ratios used in the scorecard is the ratio of higher-risk assets to Tier 1 capital and reserves.  Higher-risk assets were defined as the sum of construction and land development (C&D) loans, leveraged loans, subprime loans, and nontraditional mortgage loans.  In developing the definition of higher-risk assets, the FDIC used existing interagency guidance to define leveraged loans, nontraditional mortgage loans, and subprime loans, but refined the definitions to ensure consistency in reporting.  In arriving at these definitions, the FDIC took into account comments that were received in response to the two notices of proposed rulemaking that led to adoption of the February 2011 rule.

While institutions already reported C&D loan data in their quarterly reports of condition and income (the Call Reports), they did not report the data for the other loans, thus requiring new line items in these reports.  Therefore, the February 2011 rule required a Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) notice requesting comment on proposed revisions to the reports that would provide the data needed by the FDIC to implement the rule beginning with the June 30, 2011 report date (the March 2011 PRA notice).  

Commenters on the March 2011 PRA notice raised concerns about their ability to report subprime and leveraged loan data consistent with the definitions used in the February 2011 rule.  They also stated that they would be unable to report the required data by the June 30, 2011 report date.  These data concerns had not been raised during the rulemaking process leading up to the February 2011 rule.
As a consequence of this unexpected difficulty, the FDIC issued guidance to large and highly complex institutions instructing them to identify and report subprime and leveraged loans and securitizations using either their existing internal methodologies or the definitions in existing supervisory guidance for a transition period.  During the transition period, the FDIC would review the definitions of subprime and leveraged loans to determine whether changes to the definitions would alleviate commenters concerns without sacrificing accuracy in determining risk for deposit insurance pricing purposes.

As part of the review, staff considered all comments related to the higher-risk asset definitions submitted in response to the March 2011 PRA notice and a later July 2011 PRA notice.  Staff also engaged in extensive discussions with bankers and industry trade groups to better understand their concerns and to solicit potential solutions to these concerns.  As a result, the Board issued a notice of proposed rulemaking on March 20, 2012 (the NPR) on which this final rule is based.

While the FDIC received only 14 comment letters on the NPR, some of the comments were extensive and detailed.  The final rule generally follows the proposal in the NPR, but makes some changes that reflect these comments.  The goal of the final rule is to ensure that the assessment system captures the risk inherent in higher-risk assets without imposing unnecessary reporting burden.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (collectively the "Agencies"), are seeking comment on three Notices of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") that would revise and replace the Agencies' current capital rules.  In this NPRM, the Agencies are proposing to revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in Basel III:  A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems.  The proposed revisions would include implementation of a new common equity tier 1 minimum capital requirement, a higher minimum tier 1 capital requirement, and, for banking organizations subject to the advanced approaches capital rules, a supplementary leverage ratio that incorporates a broader set of exposures in the denominator measure.
 
Additionally, consistent with Basel III, the Agencies are proposing to apply limits on a banking organization's capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a specified amount of common equity tier 1 capital in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based requirements.  This NPRM also would establish more conservative standards for including an instrument in regulatory capital.  As discussed in the proposal, the revisions set forth in this NPRM are consistent with section 171 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which requires the Agencies to establish minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (collectively, the Agencies) are seeking comment on three notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would revise and replace the agencies' current capital rules.  
This NPRM (Standardized Approach NPRM) includes proposed changes to the Agencies' general risk-based capital requirements for determining risk-weighted assets (that is, the calculation of the denominator of a banking organization's risk-based capital ratios).  The proposed changes would revise and harmonize the Agencies' rules of calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk-sensitivity and address weaknesses identified over recent years, including by incorporating certain international capital standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) set forth in the standardized approach of the "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards:  A revised Framework" (Basel II), as revised by the BCBS between 2006 and 2009, and other proposals addressed in recent consultative papers of the BCBS.  

In this NPRM, the Agencies also propose alternatives to credit ratings for calculating risk-weighted assets for certain assets, consistent with section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.  The revisions include methodologies for determining risk-weighted assets for residential mortgages, securitization exposures, and counterparty credit risk.  The changes in the Standardized Approach NPRM are proposed to take effect on January 1, 2015, with an option for early adoption.  The Standardized Approach NPRM also would introduce disclosure requirements that would apply to top-tier banking organizations domiciled in the United States with $50 billion or more in total assets, including disclosures related to regulatory capital instruments.]]></ABSTRACT>

Market Risk Capital Rule
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board"), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") (collectively, the "Agencies") are seeking comment on three notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRMs) that would revise and replace the Agencies' current capital rules.
 
In this NPRM (Advanced Approaches and Market Risk NPR) the Agencies are proposing to revise the advanced approaches risk-based capital rule to incorporate certain aspects of "Basel III:  A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems" that the agencies would apply only to advanced approach banking organizations.  This NPRM also proposes other changes to the advanced approaches rule that the agencies believe are consistent with changes by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision ("BCBS") to its "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards:  A Revised Framework" (Basel II), as revised by the BCBS between 2006 and 2009, and recent consultative papers published by the BCBS.  The Agencies also propose to revise the advanced approaches risk-based capital rule to be consistent with Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act").  These revisions include replacing reference to credit ratings with alternative standards of creditworthiness consistent with section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act.

Additionally, the OCC and FDIC are proposing that the market risk capital rule be applicable to federal and state savings associations, and the Board is proposing that the advanced approaches and market risk capital rules apply to top-tier savings and loan holding companies domiciled in the United States that meet the applicable thresholds.  In addition, this NPRM would codify the market risk rule consistent with the proposed codification of the other regulatory capital rules across the three proposals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Farm Credit Administration and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (collectively the "agencies") are reopening the comment period for the proposed rule published in the Federal Register on May 11, 2011, (76 FR 27564), to establish minimum margin and capital requirements for uncleared swaps and security-based swaps entered into by swap dealers, major swap participants, security-based swap dealers, and major security-based swap participants for which one of the Agencies is the prudential regulator (Proposed Margin Rule).  Reopening the comment period that expired on July 11, 2011, will allow interested persons additional time to analyze and comment on the Proposed Margin Rule in light of the consultative document on margin requirements for non-centrally-cleared derivatives recently published for comment by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the International Organization of Securities Commissions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Resolution Plans Required for Insured Depository Institutions With $50 Billion or More in Total Assets</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) adopted a final rule requiring an insured depository institution with $50 billion or more in total assets to submit periodically to the FDIC a contingent plan for the resolution of such institution in the event of its failure (Resolution Plan). The rule establishes the requirements for submission and content of a Resolution Plan, as well as procedures for review by the FDIC. The Rule requires a covered insured depository institution (CIDI) to submit a Resolution Plan that should enable the FDIC, as receiver, to resolve the institution under sections 11 and 13 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act), 12 U.S.C. 1821 and 1823, in a manner that ensures that depositors receive access to their insured deposits within one business day of the institution's failure (two business days if the failure occurs on a day other than Friday), maximizes the net present value return from the sale or disposition of its assets and minimizes the amount of any loss to be realized by the institution's creditors. The Rule is intended to address the continuing exposure of the banking industry to the risks of insolvency of large and complex insured depository institutions, an exposure that can be mitigated with proper resolution planning. The Interim Final Rule, which preceded this Rule, was effective January 1, 2012, and remains in effect until superseded by this Rule on April 1, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulations of 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) include various references to and requirements based on the use of credit ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, enacted on July 21, 2010, requires the 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are revising their market risk capital rules to better capture positions for which the market risk capital rules are appropriate; reduce procyclicality; enhance the rules' sensitivity to risks that are not adequately captured under current methodologies; and increase transparency through enhanced disclosures.  The final rules do not include all of the methodologies adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision for calculating the standardized 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 of 2010.  Instead, the final rule includes alternative methodologies for calculating standardized specific risk capital requirements for debt and securitization positions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Consistent with the authority provided to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and other statutory authorities, the FDIC is reissuing and redesigning certain transferring Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations currently found in title 12, chapter V of the Code of Federal Regulations. In republishing these rules, the FDIC is making only technical changes to existing OTS regulations (such as nomenclature or address changes), and eliminating those OTS regulations for which other appropriate Federal banking agencies are authorized to act. In the future, the FDIC may take other actions related to the transferred rules: incorporating them into other FDIC regulations contained in title 12, chapter III, amending them, or rescinding them, as appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act") abolished the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and redistributed, as of July 21, 2011, the statutorily prescribed transfer date ("Transfer Date"), the functions and regulations of the OTS relating to savings and loan holding companies, Federal savings associations, and State savings associations to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), respectively. The FDIC has determined that, effective on the Transfer Date, the OTS Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") and Privacy Act ("PA") regulations will not be enforced by the FDIC and that, instead, all FOIA and PA issues will be addressed under the FDIC's regulations involving disclosure of information and the PA, as amended. In taking this action the FDIC's goal is to avoid potential confusion and uncertainty that may arise regarding information concerning State savings associations after the Transfer Date.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Permissible Investments for Federal and State Savings Associations: Corporate Debt Securities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends FDIC regulations to prohibit any insured savings association from acquiring or retaining a corporate debt security unless it determines, prior to acquiring such security and periodically thereafter, that the issuer has adequate capacity to meet all financial commitments under the security for the projected life of the investment.  An issuer would satisfy this requirement if, based on the assessment of the savings association, the issuer presents a low risk of default and is likely to make full and timely repayment of principal and interest.  This final rule adopts the proposed creditworthiness standard with the clarifying revision described below.  In the final rule, the phrase "projected life of the investment" has been revised to "projected life of the security" to more closely track the language in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's ("OCC") final rule.  The clarifying revision addresses ambiguities in the proposed rule and harmonizes the final rule with the final rule adopted by the OCC regarding permissible investments for national banks.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mutual Insurance Holding Company Treated as Insurance Company</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") is issuing a final rule that treats a mutual insurance holding company as an insurance company for purposes of Section 203(e) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act").  The final rule clarifies that the liquidation and rehabilitation of a covered financial company that is a mutual insurance holding company will be conducted in the same manner as an insurance company.  The final rule harmonizes the treatment of mutual insurance holding companies under Section 203(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act.  The comment period for the NPR closed on February 13, 2012, and the FDIC received four comment letters.  Additionally, the FDIC held a conference call with representatives of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners on January 17, 2012 and received their comments on the NPR.  In light of the comments received and pursuant to the authority granted to it by section 209 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC is issuing the Final Rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

As required by the CRA regulations, the adjustment to the threshold amount is based on the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Annual Stress Test</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "Corporation") is issuing a final rule that implements the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") regarding stress tests.  The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Corporation to issue regulations that require FDIC-insured State nonmember banks and FDIC-insured State-chartered savings associations with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion to conduct annual stress tests, report the results of such stress tests to the Corporation and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and publish a summary of the results of the stress tests.  The final rule requires large covered banks to conduct annual stress tests beginning on the effective date of this final rule.  The Corporation, however, will delay implementation of the annual stress test requirements under the final rule for institutions with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion but less than $50 billion until September 30, 2013.  The final rule requirement for public disclosure of a summary of the stress testing results for these institutions will be implemented starting with the 2014 stress test, with the disclosure occurring during the period starting June 15 and ending June 30 of 2015.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Qualified Financial Contracts Recordkeeping </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (collectively the "Agencies" or "primary financial regulatory agencies") are proposing rules to implement the qualified financial contract recordkeeping requirements of section 210(c)(8)(H) of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act" or the "Dodd Frank Act").  Section 210(c)(8)(H) provides that, within 24 months of the enactment of the Act, the Agencies must jointly prescribe regulations that require financial companies to maintain such records with respect to qualified financial contracts (as defined in section 210(c)(8) of the Act) as necessary or appropriate to assist the FDIC as receiver for a covered financial company to exercise its rights and fulfill its obligations under the Act. The proposed rules will state recordkeeping requirements with respect to position-level data, counterparty level data, legal documentation data, and collateral level data. These data are necessary to enable the FDIC to: (a) Comply with section 210(c)(9) and (10) of the Act in transferring qualified financial contracts; (b) assess the consequences of decisions to transfer, disaffirm or allow the termination of qualified financial contracts with one or more counterparties, and; (c) determine if any systemic risks are posed by the transfer, disaffirmance, or termination of such qualified financial contracts. The recordkeeping requirements of the proposed rule have been informed by the FDIC's experience with both large and small portfolios of qualified financial contracts and its review of large portfolios of insured depository institutions that were in troubled condition during the recent financial crisis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "Corporation") is issuing a Final Rule that implements section 210(c)(16) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, codified at 12 U.S.C. section 5390(c)(16), which permits the Corporation, as receiver for a financial company whose failure would pose a significant risk to the financial stability of the United States, to enforce contracts of subsidiaries or affiliates of the covered financial company despite contract clauses that purport to terminate, accelerate, or provide for other remedies based on the insolvency, financial condition, or receivership of the covered financial company.  As a condition to maintaining these subsidiary or affiliate contracts in full force and effect, the Corporation as receiver must either:  (1) Transfer any supporting obligations of the covered financial company that back the obligations of the subsidiary or affiliate under the contract (along with all assets and liabilities that relate to those supporting obligations) to a bridge financial company or qualified third-party transferee by the statutory one-business-day deadline; or (2) provide adequate protection to such contract counterparties.  The Final Rule sets forth the scope and effect of the authority granted under section 210(c)(16), clarifies the conditions and requirements applicable to the receiver, addresses requirements for notice to certain affected counterparties and defines key terms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Filing of Privileged Materials and Answers to Motions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission revised its rules and regulations relating to the filing of privileged material in keeping with the Commission's efforts to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, and the E-Government Act of 2002.  First, the Commission established two categories of privileged material for filing purposes:  privileged material and critical energy infrastructure information.  This revision will expand the ability to file electronically by permitting electronic filing of materials subject to Administrative Law Judge protective orders as appropriate.  Second, the Commission revised its regulations to provide a single set of uniform procedures for filing privileged materials.  The revisions continue the Commission's effort to reassess and streamline its regulations to ensure that they are efficient, effective, and up to date. Also, the Commission revised Rule 213(d) of its Rules of Practice and Procedure, which established the timeline for filing answers to motions, to clarify that the standard fifteen day reply time will not apply to motions requesting an extension of time or a shortened time period for action.  Instead, the Commission proposed to set the time for responding to such motions at five days, unless another time period is established by notice based on the circumstances (Docket No. RM12-2-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission amended its regulations to revise subpart H to part 35 of title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations governing market-based rates for public utilities pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA).  The Commission codified and, in certain respects, revised its current standards for market-based rates for sales of electric energy, capacity, and ancillary services.  The Commission retained several of the core elements of its current standards for granting market-based rates and revised them in certain respects.

        <RULE_TITLE>Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation by Transmission Owning and Operating Public Utilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission affirmed its basic determinations in Order Nos. 1000 and 1000-A, amending the transmission planning and cost allocation requirements established in Order No. 890 to ensure that Commission-jurisdictional services are provided at just and reasonable rates and on a basis that is just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential.  The order affirmed the Order No. 1000 transmission planning reforms that:  (1) require that each public utility transmission provider participate in a regional transmission planning process that produces a regional transmission plan; (2) provide that local and regional transmission planning processes must provide an opportunity to identify and evaluate transmission needs driven by public policy requirements established by State or Federal laws or regulations; (3) improve coordination between neighboring transmission planning regions for new interregional transmission facilities; and (4) remove from Commission-approved tariffs and agreements a Federal right of first refusal.  The order also affirmed the Order No. 1000 requirements that each public utility transmission provider must participate in a regional transmission planning process that has:  (1) a regional cost allocation method for the cost of new transmission facilities selected in a regional transmission plan for purposes of cost allocation, and (2) an interregional cost allocation method for the cost of new transmission facilities that are located in two neighboring transmission planning regions and are jointly evaluated by the two regions in the interregional transmission coordination process required by the Final Rule.  Additionally, the order affirmed the Order No. 1000 requirement that each cost allocation method must satisfy six cost allocation principles (Docket No. RM10-23-002).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission amended the pro forma Open Access Transmission Tariff to remove unduly discriminatory practices and to ensure just and reasonable rates for Commission-jurisdictional services.  Specifically, the Final Rule removed barriers to the integration of variable energy resources by requiring each public utility transmission provider to:  (1) offer intra-hourly transmission scheduling; and, (2) incorporate provisions into the pro forma Large Generator Interconnection Agreement requiring interconnection customers whose generating facilities are variable energy resources to provide meteorological and forced outage data to the public utility transmission provider for the purpose of power production forecasting (Docket No. RM10-11-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Annual Charges for Use of Government Lands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Power Act requires hydropower licensees to recompense the United States for the use, occupancy, and enjoyment of its lands.  The Commission assesses annual charges for the use of Federal lands through part 11 of its regulations.  The Commission proposed to revise the methodology used to compute these annual charges. Under the proposal, the Commission would create a fee schedule based on the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) methodology for calculating rental rates for linear rights of way.  This methodology includes a land value per acre, an encumbrance factor, a rate of return, and an annual adjustment factor.  The fee schedule would include all adjustments described in the BLM rule adopting this methodology, except the allocation of county land values into zones.  Additionally, the Commission proposed to eliminate its current practice of doubling the per-acre rental rate for non-transmission line lands (Docket No. RM11-6-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Third-Party Provision of Ancillary Services; Accounting and Financial Reporting for New Electric Storage Technologies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed to revise certain aspects of its current market-based rate regulations, ancillary services requirements under the pro forma open-access transmission tariff (OATT), and accounting and reporting requirements.  Specifically, the Commission proposed to revise its Avista Corp. policy governing the sale of ancillary services at market-based rates to public utility transmission providers and reflect such reforms in parts 35 and 37 of the Commission's regulations.  The Commission also proposed to require each public utility transmission provider to include provisions in its OATT explaining how it will determine Regulation and Frequency Response reserve requirements in a manner that takes into account the speed and accuracy of resources used.  Finally, the Commission proposed to revise the accounting and reporting requirements under its Uniform System of Accounts for public utilities and licensees and its forms, statements, and reports, contained in FERC Form No. 1, Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities, Licensees and Others, FERC Form No. 1-F, Annual Report for Nonmajor Public Utilities and Licensees, and FERC Form No. 3-Q, Quarterly Financial Report of Electric Utilities, Licensees, and Natural Gas Companies, to better account for and report transactions associated with the use of energy storage devices in public utility operations (Docket Nos. RM11-24-000 and AD10-13-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission sought comment on the scope and implementation of its transmission incentives regulations and policies under Order No. 679.  It has been nearly five years since the Commission promulgated rules to implement the directives of section 1241 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which added a new section 219 to the Federal Power Act (FPA).  In the past five years, the Commission has received over 75 applications for transmission incentives.  The requested incentives have been varied, and the demonstrations supporting the incentives applications have likewise been varied.  During this time, the electric industry has continued to evolve, and the Commission has issued corresponding regulations, policy statements, and case-by-case determinations.  Given the changes in the electric industry, the Commission's experience to date applying Order No. 679, and the ongoing need to ensure that the Commission's incentives regulations and policies are encouraging the development of transmission infrastructure in a manner consistent with FPA sections 219 and 205 and 206, the Commission issued this Notice of Inquiry (Docket No, RM11-26-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding and Load Shedding Plans Reliability Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Commission approved Reliability Standards PRC-006-1 (Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding) and EOP-003-2 (Load Shedding Plans), developed and submitted to the Commission for approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Electric Reliability Organization certified by the Commission.  In addition, pursuant to section 215(d)(5) of the FPA, the Commission directed NERC to develop a modification to clarify the intent of one provision of the Reliability Standard.  The approved Reliability Standards establish design and documentation requirements for automatic underfrequency load shedding programs that arrest declining frequency and assist recovery of frequency following system events leading to frequency degradation.  The Commission approved, with modifications, the related Violation Risk Factors and Violation Severity Levels, implementation plan, and effective date proposed by NERC.  The Commission also approved the regional variance for the Western Electricity Coordinating Council in Reliability Standard PRC-006-1 (Docket No. RM11-20-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Electric Reliability Organization Definition of Bulk Electric System and Rules of Procedure</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposed to approve a modification to the currently-effective definition of "bulk electric system" developed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization.  The revised definition of "bulk electric system" removes language allowing for regional discretion in the currently-effective bulk electric system definition.  The revised definition establishes a bright-line threshold that includes all facilities operated at or above 100 kV.  The modified definition also identifies specific categories of facilities and configurations as inclusions and exclusions to provide clarity in the definition of "bulk electric system."  The Commission also proposed to approve:  (1) NERC's contemporaneously filed revisions to its Rules of Procedure, which creates an exception procedure to add elements to, or remove elements from, the definition of "bulk electric system" on a case-by-case basis; (2) NERC's proposed form entitled "Detailed Information to Support an Exception Request" that entities will use to support requests for exception from the "bulk electric system" definition; and (3) NERC's proposed implementation plan for the revised "bulk electric system" definition (Docket Nos. RM12-6-000 and RM12-7-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to Electric Quarterly Report Filing Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed to amend Rule 35.10b of its Regulations, 18 CFR part 35, which governs the filing of Electric Quarterly Reports (EQRs), to change the process for filing EQRs.  Currently, EQRs are filed by downloading EQR software from the Commission's Web site, installing it on a Microsoft Windows-based computer, entering the EQR data into the software, and then submitting the EQR data to the Commission.  The EQR software is designed in Microsoft Visual FoxPro.  Technological changes and limitations will render the current filing process outmoded, ineffective, and unsustainable.  Microsoft has discontinued Visual FoxPro and will not support the software after 2015.  Visual FoxPro also is constrained by data size limitations that will soon restrict the Commission's ability to add data fields in the EQR.  Therefore, the Commission proposed a new filing system that will provide EQR filers with two new options for filing EQRs. One option would allow an EQR filer to use a Web interface on the Commission's Web site to file its EQR.  This Web interface would look and operate like the current EQR software that uses Visual FoxPro.  However, an EQR filer would not need to download and install software from the Commission's Web site to file because the data would be filed directly with the Commission through the Web interface.  The other option would allow an EQR filer to file its EQR in an Extensible Mark-Up Language format via the Commission's Web site.  By proposing a process with two options for filing EQRs, the Commission seeks to provide the flexibility needed to accommodate EQR filers' technical preferences.  Under both options, the Commission proposed to require EQR filers to use the company identification number (Company Identifier) assigned through the Commission's Company Registration System. The Company Identifier would replace the personal identification numbers that are currently used and that are unique to the existing EQR filing process.  The Commission also proposed that implementation of any changes to the process for filing EQRs will apply to EQR filings beginning with the third quarter 2013 EQR, providing data for July through September 2013 (Docket No. RM12-3-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-NPCC-1--Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Commission proposed to approve regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-NPCC-1 (Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding).  The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) submitted the proposed regional Reliability Standard to the Commission for approval.  The proposed regional Reliability Standard applies to generator owners, planning coordinators, distribution providers, and transmission owners in the Northeast Power Coordinating Council Region and is designed to ensure the development of an effective automatic underfrequency load shedding (UFLS) program to preserve the security and integrity of the Bulk-Power System during declining system frequency events, in coordination with the NERC continent-wide UFLS Reliability Standard PRC-006-1.  The Commission also proposed to approve the associated violation risk factors and violation severity levels, implementation plan, and effective dates proposed by NERC (Docket No. RM12-12-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transmission Relay Loadability Reliability Standard</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission addressed requests for clarification or reconsideration of Order No. 733-A, which addressed requests for rehearing and clarification of the Commission's Final Rule on the North American Electric Reliability Corporation's (NERC) Reliability Standard PRC-023-1 regarding "relay loadability."  The petitioners sought further clarification of several matters that were clarified in Order No. 733-A. The Commission addressed these requests substantively and, in part, granted clarification and, in part, denied requests for clarification.  Additionally, the petitioners sought clarification or reconsideration regarding certain issues arising from the Final Rule, Order No. 733 that should have been raised at an earlier stage of this proceeding on rehearing.  Those arguments were rejected as untimely requests for rehearing of Order No. 733.  The petitioners sought to augment the record by submitting expert affidavits and requested that the Commission clarify or reconsider Order No. 733-A in light of the supplemented record.  The Commission rejected the attempt to expand the record at this late stage of proceeding.  While the Commission rejected the untimely arguments and affidavits on procedural grounds, the Commission nonetheless reviewed these matters in a summary manner and denied the requests on substantive grounds, (Docket No. RM08-13-004).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electricity Market Transparency Provisions of Section 220 of the Federal Power Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission revised its regulations pursuant to section 220 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), as enacted by section 1281 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), to facilitate price transparency in markets for the sale and transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce.  In doing so, the Commission revised its regulations to require market participants that are excluded from the Commission's jurisdiction under FPA section 205 and have more than a de minimis market presence to file Electric Quarterly Reports (EQR) with the Commission.  In addition, the Commission revised the existing EQR filing requirements applicable to market participants in the interstate wholesale electric markets by adding new fields for:  (1) reporting the trade date and the type of rate; (2) identifying the exchange used for a sales transaction, if applicable; (3) reporting whether a broker was used to consummate a transaction; (4) reporting electronic tag (e-Tag) ID data; and (5) reporting standardized prices and quantities for energy, capacity and booked out power transactions.  The Commission also required EQR filers to indicate in the existing ID data section whether they report their sales transactions to an index publisher and, if so, to which index publisher(s), and, if applicable, identify which types of transactions are reported.  The Commission also eliminated the time zone from the contract section and the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) data requirement.  These refinements to the existing EQR filing requirements reflect the evolving nature of interstate wholesale electric markets, will increase market transparency for the Commission and the public, and will allow market participants to file the information in the most efficient manner possible (Docket No. RM10-12-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission requested comment on the interplay between Reliability Standard IRO-006-4 (Reliability Coordination--Transmission Loading Relief) and the curtailment priorities set forth in the Commission's pro forma open access transmission tariff (OATT), particularly sections 13.6 and 14.7.  The Commission found based on the record before it, that the requirements of Reliability Standard IRO-006-4 had not been shown to be in conflict with the curtailment priorities of the pro forma OATT and terminated the Notice of Inquiry (Docket No. RM10-9-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interpretation of Transmission Planning Reliability Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) submitted a petition requesting approval of its interpretation of Requirement R1.3.10 of Commission-approved transmission planning Reliability Standard TPL-002-0 (System Performance Following Loss of a Single Bulk Electric System Element). In a March 2010 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR), the Commission proposed to reject NERC's proposed interpretation, and instead proposed an alternative interpretation of Requirement R1.3.10 of Reliability Standard TPL-002-0.  As a result of the comments received in response to the NOPR, the Commission declined to adopt the NOPR proposal and approved NERC's proposed interpretation.  In addition, as proposed by several commenters, the Commission directed NERC and Commission staff to initiate a process to identify any reliability issues (Docket No. RM10-6-000).]]></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 approved three new Interconnection 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 Reliability Standards were submitted to the Commission for approval 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.  The Reliability Standards were designed to prevent instability, uncontrolled separation, or cascading outages that adversely impact the reliability of the interconnection by ensuring that the reliability coordinator has the data necessary to assess its reliability coordinator area during the operations horizon and that it takes prompt action to prevent or mitigate instances of exceeding Interconnection Reliability.  Also the Commission approved the addition of two new terms to the NERC Glossary of Terms.  In addition the Commission approved NERC's proposed revisions to Reliability Standards EOP-001-1, IRO-002-2, IRO-004-2, IRO-005-3, TOP-003-1, TOP-005-2, and TOP-006-2, which remove requirements for the reliability coordinator to monitor and analyze system operating limits other than interconnection reliability operating limits,(Docket Nos. RM10-15-000 and RM10-15-001).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission approved three Emergency Operations and Preparedness (EOP) Reliability Standards, EOP-001-1 (Emergency Operations Planning), EOP-005-2 (System Restoration from Blackstart Resources), and EOP-006-2 (System Restoration Coordination) as well as the definition of the term "Blackstart Resource" submitted to the Commission for approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Electric Reliability Organization certified by the Commission.  The approved Reliability Standards require transmission operators, generation operators, and certain transmission owners and distribution providers to ensure that plans, facilities and personnel are prepared to enable system restoration from Blackstart Resources and require reliability coordinators to establish plans and prepare personnel to enable effective coordination of the system restoration process.  The Commission also approved the NERC's proposal to retire four existing EOP Reliability Standards and a definition that are replaced by the Standards and definition approved in Order No. 749, (Docket Nos. RM10-16-000 and RM10-16-001).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Interpretation of Protection System Reliability Standard </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 17, 2009, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) submitted a petition (Petition) requesting approval of NERC's interpretation of Requirement R1 of Commission-approved Reliability Standard PRC-005-1 (Transmission and Generation Protection System Maintenance and Testing).  On December 16, 2010, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), in which the Commission proposed to accept the NERC proposed interpretation of Requirement R1 of Reliability Standard PRC-005-1, and proposed to direct NERC to develop modifications to the PRC-005-1 Reliability Standard through its Reliability Standards development process to address gaps in the Protection System maintenance and testing standard that were highlighted by the proposed interpretation.  As a result of the comments received in response to the NPRM, the Commission adopted the NPRM proposal to accept NERC's proposed interpretation.  In addition, the Commission accepted, in part, NERC's commitment to address the concerns in the Protection System maintenance and testing standard that were identified by the NPRM within the Reliability Standards development process, and directed in part, that the concerns identified by the NPRM with regard to reclosing relays be addressed within the reinitiated PRC-005 revisions, (Docket No. RM10-5-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On February 17, 2011, the Commission issued a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) concerning the regulatory treatment of locational exchanges of wholesale electric power.  The Commission sought guidance as to the circumstances under which locational exchanges of wholesale electric power should be permitted generically and circumstances under which the Commission should consider locational exchanges of wholesale electric power on a case-by-case basis.  The Commission received 17 comments from interested parties addressing various issues presented in the NOI.  On February 16, 2012, the Commission issued a notice terminating this proceeding in which it determined that there is no basis for continuing this proceeding through the initiation of a rulemaking process and, instead, addressed related issues in an order issued contemporaneously with this notice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission issued a Notice of Inquiry which sought comment on whether the Commission should revise its approach to examining horizontal market power concerns under section 203 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) to reflect the Horizontal Merger Guidelines issued by the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission on August 19, 2010 (2010 Guidelines), and what impact, if any, the 2010 Guidelines should have on the Commission's analysis of horizontal market power in its electric market-based rate program under section 205 of the FPA.  After reviewing the comments received, the Commission decided to retain its existing policies regarding the analysis of horizontal market power when reviewing transactions under section 203 of the FPA and in its electric market-based rate program and terminated this proceeding, (Docket Number RM11-14-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Bidding by Affiliates in Open Seasons for Pipeline Capacity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission revised its regulations governing interstate natural gas pipelines to prohibit multiple affiliates of the same entity from bidding in an open season for pipeline capacity in which the pipeline may allocate capacity on a pro rata basis, unless each affiliate has an independent business reason for submitting a bid.  The Commission did not find it necessary to adopt its proposal in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that if more than one affiliate of the same entity participates in such an open season, then none of those affiliates may release any capacity obtained in that open season pursuant to a pro rata allocation to any affiliate, or otherwise allow any affiliate to obtain the use of the allowed capacity, (Docket No. RM11-15-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission approved eight modified Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Reliability Standards, CIP-002-4 through CIP-009-4, developed and submitted to the Commission for approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Electric Reliability Organization certified by the Commission.  The CIP Reliability Standards provide a cybersecurity framework for the identification and protection of "Critical Cyber Assets" to support the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System.  Reliability Standard CIP-002-4 requires the identification and documentation of Critical Cyber Assets associated with "Critical Assets" that support the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System and introduced "bright line" criteria for the identification of Critical Assets.  The Commission approved the related Violation Risk Factors, Violation Severity Levels with modifications, implementation plan, and effective date proposed by NERC (Docket No. RM11-11-000)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Commission approved Reliability Standard PRC-023-2 (Transmission Relay Loadability) submitted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) certified by the Commission.  The Reliability Standard requires transmission owners, generation owners, and distribution providers to set load-responsive phase protective relays according to specific criteria to ensure that the relays reliably detect - and protect the electric network from - fault conditions, but do not limit transmission loadability or interfere with system operators' ability to protect system reliability.  The Commission also approved NERC Rules of Procedure Section 1700 - Challenges to Determinations, which provides registered entities a means to challenge determinations made by planning coordinators under Reliability Standard PRC-023, (Docket No. RM11-16-000)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission amended its regulations to require each regional transmission organization (RTO) and independent system operator (ISO) to electronically deliver to the Commission, on an ongoing basis, data related to the markets that it administers.  The Commission determined that ongoing electronic delivery of data relating to physical and virtual offers and bids, market awards, resource outputs, marginal cost estimates, shift factors, financial transmission rights, internal bilateral contracts, uplift, and interchange pricing will facilitate the Commission's development and evaluation of its policies and regulations and will enhance Commission efforts to detect anti-competitive or manipulative behavior, or ineffective market rules, thereby helping to ensure just and reasonable rates (Docket No. RM11-17-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transmission Planning Reliability Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission remanded the proposed Transmission Planning (TPL) Reliability Standard TPL-002-0b, submitted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization.  The proposed Reliability Standard included a provision that allows for planned load shed in a single contingency provided that the plan is documented and alternatives are considered and vetted in an open and transparent process.  The Commission found that this provision is vague, unenforceable, and not responsive to the previous Commission directives on this matter.  Accordingly, the Final Rule remanded NERC's proposal as unjust, unreasonable, unduly discriminatory or preferential, and not in the public interest (Docket No. RM11-18-000).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission amended its regulations to incorporate by reference the latest version (Version 2.0) of certain business practice standards adopted by the Wholesale Gas Quadrant (WGQ) of the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB) applicable to natural gas pipelines.  In addition, based on the minor corrections and errata made by NAESB and reported to the Commission on May 4, 2012, the Commission incorporated by reference certain standards that it earlier proposed not to incorporate, as the revised standards no longer conflict with Commission regulations.  The Commission also provided guidance on the criteria the Commission will use in deciding whether to grant or deny requests for waivers or extensions of time and modified the compliance filing requirements to add transparency as to where in the tariff incorporated standards may be found (Docket No. RM96-1-037).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Notice(s) of Proposed Rulemaking would propose changes to regulations applicable to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Home Loan Banks to remove references to, or requirements based on, credit ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs). The rulemaking(s) would also propose new credit worthiness standards, not based on NRSRO ratings, to replace these references or requirements. The action is being undertaken in response to requirements in section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulated Entities Annual Capital Stress Tests</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would implement annual company-run stress tests required by section 165(i) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111-203, approved July 21, 2010 (Dodd-Frank). Company-run stress tests are required for financial companies with total consolidated assets of greater than $10 billion, which are regulated by a primary Federal financial regulatory agency.  The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is the primary Federal financial regulatory agency with oversight of the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks). The purpose of the annual Company-run stress tests is to ensure that the regulated entities have appropriate levels of capital and liquidity under a variety of different conditions, including baseline, adverse and severely adverse. The proposed rule would establish the stress test framework, including the methodology, reporting, and publication requirements. FHFA will separately publish, on an annual basis, the scenarios that are to be used by the regulated entities in applying the stress test methodology.]]></ABSTRACT>

The regulation would require each regulated entity to disclose to FHFA the structures of all its incentive-based compensation arrangements; and prescribe regulatory guidelines that prohibit incentive-based arrangements that encourage inappropriate risk-taking.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would direct the regulated entities not to purchase mortgages or mortgage re-financings that involve a PACE-loan that carries a first priority lien status. PACE programs provide a means of financing certain types of energy-related home-improvement projects.  The proposed rule summarizes comments received on subjects relating to PACE on which FHFA has considered alternative proposed rules.  It sets forth FHFA's responses to issues raised in the comments, including issues related to the risks PACE programs pose to mortgage holders and other interested parties, and economic implications of PACE programs. The rule sets forth for comment three alternative approaches that might create greater controls around PACE loans that affect first mortgages and might ameliorate risk concerns expressed by FHFA, including specific standards relating to underwriting.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Relocation and Repeal of Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) would issue a final rule to relocate, without any substantive modification, six FHFB regulations from the Finance Board chapter of title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to the FHFA regulations chapter of title 12. The first, Community Investment Cash Advance Programs (CICA)-part 952, would be in new Part 1292. The other five: Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) collection, settlement, and processing of payment instruments-part 975; Miscellaneous Bank authorities part-977; Bank request for information-part 978; Financing Corporation (FICO) operations-part 995; and Authority for Bank assistance of the Resolution Funding Corporation (RefCorp)-part 996, would each be subparts of part 1271. The final rule would remove and designate as reserved, several empty subparts in FHFB's regulations. The final rule would also create a common definition section to be located at part 1201. The new section would be similar to the current FHFB definition section found at part 900 and would consist of terms frequently used throughout the FHFA regulations.]]></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) proposed 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will set forth standards for the regulated entities of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) relating to various aspects of management and operations. FHFA would implement section 1108 of the Housing Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), which amended the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (12 U.S.C. 4501 et seq.) by establishing a new section on Prudential Management and Operations Standards. The regulation would provide for the establishment of the prudential standards in the form of guidelines, which initially would be set out in an appendix to the rule. The regulation also would include other provisions relating to the possible consequences for a regulated entity that fails to operate in accordance with the prudential standards.]]></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[This Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) issued this rule to restrict the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the Federal Home Loan Banks (regulated entities) from dealing in mortgages on properties encumbered by certain types of private transfer fee covenants and in certain related securities. Such covenants are adverse to the liquidity and stability of the housing finance market, and to financial safety and soundness. The regulation would except private transfer fees paid to homeowner associations, condominiums, cooperatives, and certain tax-exempt organizations that use the private transfer fees to provide a direct benefit to the owners of the encumbered real property. With limited exceptions, the regulation would apply only prospectively to private transfer fee covenants created on or after the date of publication of the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has been reviewing individual Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB) and Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) regulations, (chapter IX, 12 CFR parts 900 through 999, and chapter XVII, 12 CFR parts 1700 through 1799, respectively) that remain in effect to determine whether they should be removed or adopted, with or without change as FHFA regulations. This rulemaking would remove two obsolete FHFB regulations that FHFA has determined should not be carried over into the FHFA's regulations. The first set of regulations, located in part 912, deals with the Government in the Sunshine Act. These regulations applied to FHFB but do not apply to FHFA. Because FHFA does not need to have any Sunshine Act regulations, the FHFB regulations at part 912 need to be removed. The second set of regulations, located in part 997, deals with the manner in which FHFB/FHFA conducts the calculations relating to the Federal Home Loan Banks' (Banks) obligation to make payments towards the interest due on the RefCorp bonds. The FHFA recently determined that the Banks' RefCorp obligation has terminated, and since the Banks will no longer make RefCorp payments, FHFA no longer needs to make any calculations relating to the Banks' RefCorp obligations. As there is no need to keep the regulations at part 997 they need to be removed. This rulemaking would also remove reserved parts 1781 through 1799 from subchapter D of OFHEO regulations. FHFA has recently removed regulations under this subchapter and adopted its own regulations; therefore there is no need to reserve these parts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Z--Appraisals for Higher-Risk Mortgage Loans (Docket No. R-1443)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1471 of the Dodd-Frank Act establishes a new Truth In Lending Act (TILA) section 129H, which establishes appraisal requirements that apply to "higher-risk mortgages."  "Higher-risk mortgages" are mortgages with an annual percentage rate that exceeds the average prime offer rate by a specified percentage.  Section 129H of TILA requires the Federal Reserve Board (Board), the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Treasury (collectively, the Agencies) jointly to issue rules implementing these provisions.  Consistent with the statutory requirements, the Agencies proposed on September 5, 2012, to require that creditors of "higher-risk mortgages" must obtain an appraisal or appraisals meeting certain specified standards, provide applicants with a notification regarding the use of the appraisals, and give applicants a copy of the written appraisals used.  Final rules are expected to be issued by January 21, 2013.  The joint rule, when issued, is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities subject to the regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation CC--Availability of Funds and Collection of Checks (Docket No. R-1408)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve Board (the Board) proposed amendments to Regulation CC to facilitate the banking industry's ongoing transition to fully electronic interbank check collection and return, including proposed amendments to condition a depositary bank's right of expeditious return on the depositary bank agreeing to accept returned checks electronically either directly or indirectly from the paying bank. The Board also proposed amendments to the funds availability schedule provisions to reflect the fact that there are no longer any nonlocal checks. The Board proposed to revise the model forms in appendix C that banks may use in disclosing their funds availability policies to their customers and to update the preemption determinations in appendix F. Finally, the Board requested comment on whether it should consider future changes to the regulation to improve the check collection system, such as decreasing the time afforded to a paying bank to decide whether to pay a check in order to reduce the risk to a depositary bank of needing to make funds available for withdrawal before learning whether a deposited check has been returned unpaid.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Housing Agency, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Federal Reserve Board (the Agencies) are proposing rules to implement the credit risk retention requirements of section 15G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 USC 780-11), 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 5 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.]]></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 Federal Reserve Board (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[In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (the Agencies) are proposing to revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in "Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems" (Basel III).  The proposed revisions would include implementation of a new common equity tier I minimum capital requirement, a higher minimum tier I capital requirement, and, for banking organizations subject to the advanced approaches capital rules, a supplementary leverage ratio that incorporates a broader set of exposures in the denominator measure.  Additionally, consistent with Basel III, the Agencies are proposing to apply limits on a banking organization's capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a specified amount of common equity tier I capital above the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.  This NPRM also would establish more conservative standards for including an instrument in regulatory capital.  As discussed in the proposal, the revisions set forth in this NPRM are consistent with section 171 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires the Agencies to establish minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation LL--Savings and Loan Holding Companies and Regulation MM--Mutual Holding Companies (Docket No. R-1429)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dodd-Frank Act Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) transferred responsibility for supervision of Savings and Loan Holding Companies (SLHCs) and their non-depository subsidiaries from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), on July 21, 2011. The Act also transferred supervisory functions related to Federal savings associations and State savings associations to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), respectively. 

The Board on August 12, 2011, approved an interim final rule for SLHCs, including a request for public comment.  The interim final rule transferred from the OTS to the Board the regulations necessary for the Board to supervise SLHCs, with certain technical and substantive modifications.  The interim final rule has three components:  (1) new Regulation LL (part 238), which sets forth regulations generally governing SLHCs; (2) new Regulation MM (part 239), which sets forth regulations governing SLHCs in mutual form; and (3) technical amendments to existing Board regulations necessary to accommodate the transfer of supervisory authority for SLHCs from the OTS to the Board.

The structure of interim final Regulation LL closely follows that of the Board's Regulation Y, which governs bank holding companies, in order to provide an overall structure to rules that were previously found in disparate locations.  In many instances interim final Regulation LL incorporated OTS regulations with only technical modifications to account for the shift in supervisory responsibility from the OTS to the Board.  Interim final Regulation LL also reflects statutory changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act with respect to SLHCs, and incorporates Board precedent and practices with respect to applications processing procedures and control issues, among other matters.  

Interim final Regulation MM organized existing OTS regulations governing SLHCs in mutual form (MHCs) and their subsidiary holding companies into a single part of the Board's regulations.  In many instances interim final Regulation MM incorporated OTS regulations with only technical modifications to account for the shift in supervisory responsibility from the OTS to the Board.  Interim final Regulation MM also reflects statutory changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act with respect to MHCs,.

The interim final rule also made technical amendments to Board rules to facilitate supervision of SLHCs, including to rules implementing Community Reinvestment Act requirements and to Board procedural and administrative rules.  In addition, the Board made technical amendments to implement section 312(b)(2)(A) of the Act, which transfers to the Board all rulemaking authority under section 11 of the Home Owner's Loan Act relating to transactions with affiliates and extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders.  These amendments include revisions to parts 215 (Insider Transactions) and part 223 (Transactions with Affiliates) of Board regulations.

The comment period with respect to the interim final rule closed on November 1, 2011, and the Board intends in the future to issue a finalized rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation VV--Proprietary Trading and Relationships With Covered Funds (Docket No. R-1432)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act added a new section 13 to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act) that generally prohibits any banking entity from engaging in proprietary trading or from acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in, sponsoring, or having certain relationships with a hedge fund or private equity fund (covered fund), subject to certain exemptions. Section 13(b)(2) of the BHC Act directs the Federal Reserve Board (Board), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to adopt rules to carry out this section.  The Board, along with the OCC and FDIC, sought public comment on a proposed rule on October 11, 2011, and the SEC sought public comment on the same proposed rule on October 12, 2011.  See 76 FR 68846 (Nov. 7, 2011).  The period for filing public comments on this proposal was extended for an additional 30 days, until February 13, 2012.  On January 11, 2012, the CFTC requested comment through April 16, 2012, on a substantively similar proposed rule implementing section 13 of the BHC Act.  See 77 FR 8332 (Feb. 14, 2012).    
	
The comment period on the Board's proposal is closed and the Board is carefully considering comments as it and the other Federal agencies charged with adopting and implementing regulations under section 13 of the BHC Act finalize rules to implement that section.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Farm Credit Administration, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (the Agencies) are requesting comment on a proposal to establish minimum margin and capital requirements for registered swap dealers, major swap participants, security-based swap dealers, and major security-based swap participants for which one of the Agencies is the prudential regulator. This proposed rule implements sections 731 and 764 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which require the Agencies to adopt rules jointly to establish capital requirements and initial and variation margin requirements for such entities on all non-cleared swaps and non-cleared security-based swaps in order to offset the greater risk to such entities and the financial system arising from the use of swaps and security-based swaps that are not cleared.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) regarding alternatives to the Use of Credit Ratings in the  Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Federal Banking Agencies Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the Agencies) to review their regulations that:  (1) Require the use of an assessment of creditworthiness of a security or money market instrument, and (2) 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 creditworthiness that the Agencies determine to be appropriate for such regulations. 

Since issuance of the ANPRM, the Agencies have evaluated comments and have taken action on pertinent rule-makings which effectively supercede this ANPRM.  Therefore, please refer to RIN #s 7100-AD23 and 7100-AD62 for details on the application of credit rating alternatives to the risk-based capital guidelines.]]></ABSTRACT>

Specifically, the proposal would modify the 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 did not include the methodologies adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision that rely on the use of credit ratings, which is impermissible under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  

On December 21, 2011, the Agencies requested comment on amendments to the proposal, which provide alternative standards of creditworthiness to be used in place of credit ratings to determine risk-based capital requirements for certain debt and securitization positions in the market risk rule.  The Agencies considered comments received on both the proposal and the amendment.  On August 30, 2012, the Agencies published a final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act amended the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to require that financial institutions collect and report data concerning credit applications made by women and minority-owned businesses and small businesses.  The Federal Reserve Board is required to implement this provision for certain motor vehicle dealers.  The proposed rule would exempt these motor vehicle dealers from the statute's data collection requirements temporarily until the effective date of the final rules that will be issued by the Board to implement the statutory provision. On September 26, 2011, the Board published a final rule that was substantially as proposed (76 FR 59237).]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) includes proposed changes to the U.S. banking agencies' (the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) general risk-based capital requirements for determining risk-weighted assets (that is, the calculation of the denominator of a banking organization's risk-based capital ratios).  The proposed changes would revise and harmonize the agencies' rules for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity and address weaknesses identified over recent years, including by incorporating certain international capital standards as set forth by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.  The Agencies also propose alternatives to credit ratings for calculating risk-weighted assets for certain assets, consistent with section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.  The revisions include methodologies for determining risk-weighted assets for residential mortgages, securitization exposures, and counterparty credit risk.  The NPRM also would introduce disclosure requirements that would apply to top-tier banking organizations domiciled in the United States with $50 billion or more in total assets, including disclosures related to regulatory capital instruments.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In this Notice of Proposed Rule-making (NPRM), the U.S. banking agencies are proposing to revise the advanced approaches risk-based capital rule to incorporate certain aspects of "Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems" (Basel III) that the agencies would apply only to advanced approach banking organizations.  This NPR also proposes other changes to the advanced approaches rule that the agencies believe are consistent with changes made by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) to its "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards"  A Revised Framework" (Basel II), as revised by the BCBS between 2006 and 2009, and with recent consultative papers published by the BCBS.  The Agencies also propose to revise the advanced approaches risk-based capital rule to be consistent with Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act).  These revisions include replacing references to credit ratings with alternative standards of creditworthiness consistent with section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act.  Also, the Board is proposing that the advanced approaches and market risk capital rules apply to top-tier savings and loan holding companies domiciled in the United States that meet the applicable thresholds.  In addition, this NPRM would codify the market risk rule consistent with the proposed codification of the other regulatory capital rules across the three proposals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation HH--Financial Market Utilities (Docket No. R-1412)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve Board (the Board) finalized new part 234 to title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations implementing two provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act).  These two provisions relate to supervision of financial market utilities (FMUs) designated as systemically important by the Financial Stability Oversight Council.

Specifically, under section 805(a)(1)(A) of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Board is required to promulgate risk-management standards governing the operations related to the payment, clearing, and settlement activities of certain designated FMUs.  In addition, under section 806(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Board is required to prescribe regulations setting forth the standards for determining when advance notice is required to be provided by a designated FMU for which the Board is the Supervisory Agency when the designated FMU proposes to change its rules, procedures, or operations that could materially affect the nature or level of risks presented by the designated FMU.

The final rule is substantively similar to the proposed rulemaking, with two exceptions.  The final rule includes a new provision that would allow the Board to waive the application of certain Regulation HH standards to a particular type of designated FMU, where the risks presented by or the design of that designated FMU would make application of certain standards inappropriate.  In addition, the Board has revised the illustrative list of changes that do not require an advance notice, in part to include changes to a designated FMU's fees, prices, or other charges.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendments to the Board's Regulation D (Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions) to reflect the annual indexing of the reserve requirement exemption amount and the low reserve tranche for 2012.  The Regulation D amendments set the amount of total reservable liabilities of each depository institution that is subject to a zero percent reserve requirements in 2012 at $11.5 million (up from $10.7 million in 2011).  This amount is known 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 2012 at $71.0 million (up from $58.8 million in 2011).  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 also announced changes in two other amounts, the nonexempt deposit cutoff level and the reduced reporting limit, that are used to determine the frequency at which depository institutions must submit deposit reports.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve Board (the Board) issued a final rule to implement section 618 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which permits nonbank companies that own at least one registered securities broker or dealer, and that are required by a foreign regulator or provision of foreign law to be subject to comprehensive consolidated supervision, to register with the Board and subject themselves to supervision by the Board. The final rule is substantially the same as the proposed rule. The final rule outlines the requirements that a securities holding company must satisfy to make an effective election, including filing the appropriate form with the responsible Reserve Bank, providing all additional required information and satisfying the statutory waiting period of 45 days or such shorter period as the Board determines appropriate.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Y--Resolution Plans and Credit Exposure Reports Require (Docket No. R-1414)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Dodd-Frank Act requires certain financial institutions to report to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation their plans for rapid and orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The rule establishes requirements for the submission and content of a resolution plan and credit exposure report.  The resolution plan must include information related to the organizational structure of the company, the manner and extent to which any insured depository institution affiliated with the company is protected from risks presented by non-bank subsidiaries; identification of cross-guarantees, major counter parties, and the parties to whom collateral is pledged; and certain other elements including a strategic analysis of the company's plans for maintaining core business lines and critical operations.  Credit Exposure Reports must include information related to the aggregate credit exposure associated with a range of transactions with every large financial firm.

The rule was adopted substantially as proposed (76 FR 67323).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission continues its review of current rules and guides to identify any that should be modified or rescinded. The Commission will continue to consider ways to streamline and improve the review program. No determination about whether to modify or rescind a rule, guide, or interpretation or any other procedural option should be inferred from the Commission's decision to publish a request for comments. In certain instances, the reviews may also address other specific matters or issues, such as proposed amendments. Finally, the Commission may modify the rule review timetable as circumstances warrant. On April 6, 2012, the Commission announced its current rule and guide review schedule for 2012. 77 FR 22234.  

The Commission is also seeking input on ways to improve its regulatory review program and the procedure used for reviewing the Agency's rules and guides. Through comments suggesting improvements to its systematic regulatory review, the Commission seeks to ensure it is implementing a review process that accurately measures the effectiveness, efficiency, and consequences of its rules and guides in the face of changing marketplace conditions, evolving consumer behavior, and technological developments. Staff reviews comments as they are received.]]></ABSTRACT>

Effective in 1985 and last reviewed in 1995, the 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. The 2008 Federal Register 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. Staff anticipates Commission action by the end of October 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

Last revised in 1995, 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. 

The 2009 Federal Register notice 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. 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 November 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Prenotification Negative Option Plans</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the systematic review of all Commission rules, on May 14, 2009, the Commission initiated its periodic review of the Negative Option Rule (or the Trade Regulation Rule on Use of Prenotification Negative Option Plans) by publishing a notice seeking public comments on the effectiveness and impact of the Rule. 74 FR 22720.

Issued in 1974 and last reviewed in 1997, the Negative Option 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 2009 Federal Register notice 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 Commission action in the first quarter of 2013.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Preservation of Consumers&apos; Claims and Defenses (Holder-in-Due-Course Rule)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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. 

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Retail Food Store Advertising and Marketing Practices </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the systematic review of all Commission rules, on August 18, 2011, the Commission initiated its periodic review of the Unavailability Rule (or the Rule on Retail Food Store Advertising and Marketing Practices) by publishing a notice seeking public comments on the effectiveness and impact of the Rule. 76 FR 51308. The comment period closed on October 19, 2011. Staff has reviewed the comments and expects to submit a recommendation to the Commission by the end of 2012.

The Commission's 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

The comment period closed on October 24, 2011.  Staff anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission by December 2012.

The Consumer Warranty Rule 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the systematic review of all Commission rules, on August 23, 2011, the Commission initiated its periodic review of the Pre-Sale Availability Rule (or Rule Governing the Pre-Sale Availability of Written Warranty Terms) by publishing a notice seeking public comments on the effectiveness and impact of the Rule. 76 FR 52595. The comment period closed on October 24, 2011. Staff anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission by December 2012.

The Pre-Sale Availability Rule 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 warranties readily available by either (1) displaying the warranty document in close proximity to the product, or (2) furnishing the warranty document 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the systematic review of all Commission rules, on August 23, 2011, the Commission initiated its periodic review of the Rule Governing Informal Dispute Settlement Procedures (Rule 703) by publishing a notice seeking public comments on the effectiveness and impact of the rule. 76 FR 52596. The comment period closed on October 24, 2011. Staff anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission by December 2012.

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.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of its ongoing systematic review of all Federal Trade Commission rules and guides, the Commission expects to request comments during 2013 on, among other things, the economic impact and benefits of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA) Rules; possible conflict between the Rules and State, local, or other Federal laws or regulations; and the effect on the Rules of any technological, economic, or other industry changes. 

The FPLA requires consumer commodities to be marked with statements of: (1) identity; (2) net quantity of contents; and (3) name and place of the business of manufacturer, packer, or distributor. These requirements serve FPLA's stated purpose of "enabling consumers to obtain accurate information as to the quantity of the contents and ... to facilitate value comparisons." The FTC is responsible for FPLA enforcement regarding all consumer commodities other than foods, drugs, and cosmetics, and pursuant to section 6(b) of FPLA, the Commission promulgated the implementing regulations found in 16 CFR parts 500, 501, 502, and 503. Pursuant to 1992 amendments to the FPLA, the Commission has amended these regulations to require the use of the units of both the customary inch/pound measurement system and the metric measurement system in the net quantity statement for certain consumer commodities. The amended regulations became effective on February 14, 1994.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the systematic review of all Commission rules, on September 11, 2007, the Commission initiated its periodic review of the Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule (MTOR or Rule) by publishing a notice seeking public comments on the effectiveness and impact of the Rule. 72 FR 51728. The FTC also sought public comment on how the Rule could be amended to address changes in technology and commercial practices. 

Issued in 1975, and last amended in 1995, the MTOR 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.

Based on a review of comments received to the 2007 NPRM, on September 30, 2011, the FTC published a Federal Register Notice concluding that the Rule continues to benefit consumers and will be retained. 76 FR 60715. For clarity, the Commission reorganized the Rule by alphabetizing the definitions at the beginning of the Rule.

Also on September 30, 2011, in a separate Federal Register Notice, the Commission issued an NPRM seeking comment on, among other things, possible changes to the Rule to: clarify that the Rule covers all orders placed over the Internet; revise the Rule to allow sellers to provide refunds and refund notices to buyers by any means at least as fast and reliable as first-class mail; clarify sellers' obligations when buyers use payment methods not spelled out in the Rule, such as debit cards or prepaid gift cards; and require that refunds be made within seven working days for purchases that are made using third-party credit, such as Visa or MasterCard cards. 76 FR 60765. The comment period ended on December 14, 2011. Staff has reviewed the comments and anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission by the end of 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Telemarketing Sales Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Commission staff are considering proposed amendments to the Telemarketing Sales Rule (or TSR) concerning caller identification services and disclosure of the identity of the seller or telemarketer responsible for telemarketing calls (Caller ID).  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 the fourth quarter of 2012.

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 by the end of October 2012.

During 2013, staff also anticipates that the Commission will initiate periodic review of this Rule as set out on the ten-year review schedule. 77 FR 22234 (April 13, 2012).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the systematic review of all Commission rules, on April 5, 2010, the Commission initiated its periodic review of COPPA by publishing a notice seeking public comments on the effectiveness and impact of the Rule. 75 FR 17089. The Commission is accelerating this review due to changes in the online environment over the prior 5-year period, including but not limited to children's increasing use of mobile technology to access the Internet. 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 July 12, 2010.

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 web sites, 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 September 15, 2011, the Commission announced it was proposing modifications to the Rule in five areas to respond to changes in online technology, including in the mobile marketplace, and, where appropriate, to streamline the Rule:  definitions, including the definitions of "personal information" and "collection," parental notice, parental consent mechanisms, confidentiality and security of children's personal information, and the role of self-regulatory "safe harbor" programs.  In addition, the Commission also proposed adding a new provision addressing data retention and deletion.  The comment period closed on December 23, 2011. The Commission received 350 comments. In response to those comments and informed by its experience in enforcing and administrating the Rule, the FTC issued a Supplemental NPRM to propose modifications to certain definitions to clarify the scope of the Rule and strengthen its protections for the online collection, use, or disclosure of children's personal information. 77 FR 46643 (Aug. 6, 2012). The comment period as extended closed on September 24, 2012. Staff anticipates that the Commission will issue a final rule by the end of 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the systematic review of all Commission rules, on June 1, 2011, the Commission initiated its periodic review of the Alternative Fuel Rule (or Labeling Requirements for Alternative Fuels and Alternative-Fueled Vehicles Rule) by publishing a notice seeking public comments on the effectiveness and impact of the Rule. 76 FR 31513. The Rule, which became effective on November 20, 1995, requires disclosure of appropriate cost and benefit information to enable consumers to make reasonable purchasing choices and comparisons between nonliquid alternative fuels as well as alternative-fueled vehicles. The Commission requested comments on, among other things, the economic impact and benefits of this Rule; possible conflict between the Rule and State, local, or other Federal laws or regulations; and the effect on the Rule of any technological, economic, or other industry changes. The Commission also sought comment on whether to merge its alternative fueled vehicle (AFV) labels with fuel economy labels proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA); add new definitions for AFVs contained in recent legislation; and change labeling requirements for used AFVs. The comment period closed on July 25, 2011. After reviewing the comments it received, the FTC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to consolidate FTC labels with EPA labels for all AFVs, including AFV categories designated by recent legislation, and to eliminate FTC labeling requirements for used AFVs. 77 FR 36423 (June 19, 2012).

        <RULE_TITLE>Care Labeling of Textile Apparel and Certain Piece Goods as Amended</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the systematic review of all Commission rules, on July 13, 2011, the Commission initiated its periodic review of the Care Labeling Rule (or the Rule on Care Labeling of Textile Apparel and Certain Piece Goods as Amended) by publishing a notice seeking public comments on the effectiveness and impact of the Rule. 76 FR 41148. The comment period closed on September 6, 2011, and staff reviewed the comments. On September 11, 2012, the Commission announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Based on a review of comments, the agency has concluded that the Rule continues to benefit consumers and will be retained, and is now seeking comments on potential updates to the Rule, including changes that would: allow manufacturers and importers, if they so choose, to include professional instructions for wet-cleaning--an environmentally friendly alternative to drycleaning--on labels if the garment can be professionally wet-cleaned; permit manufacturers to use updated ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) or ISO (International Organization for Standardization) symbols on labels in lieu of written terms providing care instructions; and clarify what constitutes a reasonable basis for care instructions; and update and expand the definition of "dryclean" to reflect current practices and account for the advent of new solvents.  The comment period closed on November 16, 2012.

The Care Labeling Rule makes it an unfair or deceptive act or practice for manufacturers and importers of textile wearing apparel and certain piece goods to sell these items without attaching care labels stating "what regular care is needed for the ordinary use of the product." The Rule also requires that the manufacturer or importer possess, prior to sale, a reasonable basis for the care instructions, and allows the use of approved care symbols in lieu of words to disclose care instructions.]]></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), which amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act, was enacted on December 4, 2003.  The Act required that the Commission undertake a number of rulemakings and studies, which have primarily been completed.  Many of these responsibilities were transferred on July 21, 2011, to the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) 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. 

IDENTITY THEFT

Red Flags

FACTA required the Commission 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 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. Dodd-Frank requires the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to promulgate "red flag rules." The Commission and the other agencies expect to issue revised rules by the end of 2012 to implement this legislation.]]></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 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, providing 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. 

On August 1, 2011, the Commission published a NPRM seeking comment on expanding the "Lighting Facts" label coverage to additional bulb types and a specific test procedure for light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. 76 FR 45715. The comment period closed on September 22, 2011. Staff anticipates sending a recommendation to the Commission by early 2013.

Section 325 of the EISA provides the Commission with authority to promulgate energy labeling rules for consumer electronics, including televisions. 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).
 
Section 306 of the EISA directs that within 90 days of the Department of Energy (DOE) publishing a final rule establishing regional efficiency standards for furnaces, central air conditioners, and heat pumps, the FTC must undertake a rulemaking to determine the appropriate disclosures regarding conformance with such regional standards. The DOE's final rule became effective on October 25, 2011. Accordingly, on November 28, 2011, the Commission published an ANPRM seeking comment on disclosures to help consumers, distributors, contractors, and installers easily determine whether a specific furnace, central air conditioner, or heat pump meets the applicable new DOE efficiency standard for the region where it will be installed. 76 FR 72872. The Commission sought comment on the content, location, and format of such disclosures. The comment period closed on January 10, 2012. As part of this effort, the Commission staff also held a public meeting with the Department of Energy (DOE) on December 16, 2011, to discuss possible disclosures. The statutory deadline for the Commission to issue requirements for disclosures on residential heating and cooling equipment is 15 months after DOE issued their final efficiency standards. 76 FR 37408. On June 6, 2012, the Commission published an NPRM seeking public comments on the proposed changes to the EnergyGuide Labels which would provide a U.S. map showing where the product can be installed legally, a simple format for efficiency ratings, and a link to an online energy cost calculator. The FTC also proposed requiring the label on manufacturers' web sites, product packaging, and as currently required, on the products themselves. The comment period closed on August 6, 2012.

As part of its systematic review of all current FTC rules and guides, the Commission issued an NPRM seeking public comment on proposed changes to its Appliance Labeling Rule, which requires energy efficiency labels for major household appliances and other consumer products. 77 FR 15298 (Mar. 15, 2012). The FTC sought comments on its benefits and costs, and on several proposed changes, including whether the Commission should eliminate duplicative reporting requirements for manufacturers; require a uniform method for attaching labels to appliances; place EnergyGuide labels on room air conditioner packages instead of the products; improve web site disclosures; and  revise ceiling fan labels. The comment period closed on May 16, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rules and Regulations Under the Fur Products Labeling Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[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 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's ANPRM also requested comment on the effectiveness and impact of the Rule. The comment period closed on May 16, 2011, and staff reviewed the comments. On September 17, 2012, the Commission published a proposed amendment to the Fur Rules to update its Fur Products Name Guide, provide more labeling flexibility, incorporate recently enacted Truth in Fur Labeling Act provisions and eliminate unnecessary requirements. The comment period closes on November 16, 2012. 77 FR 57043.

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 Rules are set forth at 16 CFR 301.]]></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. The threshold reporting figure of the size of transaction test under section 7A(a)(2)(B)(i) is now $68.2 million, which was effective February 27, 2012. 77 FR 4323. 

On August 20, 2012, the Commission proposed amendments to the HSR rules regarding the reportability of licensing agreements in the pharmaceutical industry. 77 FR 50057. The comment period expires on October 25, 2012, and staff estimates the final rule will be issued in late 2012 or early 2013. The Commission is also considering amendments to the HSR rules concerning the expiration of HSR forms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Business Opportunity Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of its ongoing systematic review of all Federal Trade Commission rules, on April 7, 1995, the Commission initiated its periodic review of the Franchise Rule (16 CFR 436) by publishing a notice seeking public comments on the effectiveness and impact of the Rule. 60 FR 17656. During that review (RIN 3084-AA63), staff recommended that the Rule be split into two parts: One part addressing franchise issues and the second addressing business opportunity issues.  On April 6, 2006, the Commission announced publication of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) seeking comment on this proposed Business Opportunity Rule. 

The proposed rule addressed fraud in the offer and sale of business opportunity ventures by requiring business opportunity sellers to furnish specific presale disclosures to prospective purchasers. The proposed rule also prohibited 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 such as envelope stuffing, medical billing, and product assembly, many of which have not been covered before.  FTC staff also recommended streamlining the disclosures 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. The changes would 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.

The Commission published a final rule on December 8, 2011. 76 FR 76816. The final rule replaced the interim Business Opportunity Rule, which the Commission created in 2007 when it separated the Original Franchise Rule,16 CFR part 436, into two parts; one covering the sale of franchises and one covering the sale of business opportunities.  The interim Business Opportunity Rule contained no new substantive disclosure requirements or prohibitions, and in all material respects was substantially identical to the Original Franchise Rule; with all definitional elements and references regarding franchises deleted. The final rule amends the interim rule to broaden its scope to cover business opportunity sellers not covered by the interim Business Opportunity Rule, such as sellers of work-at-home opportunities, and to streamline and simplify the disclosures that sellers must provide to prospective purchasers. The final rule became effective on March 1, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

As a result, the Federal Trade Commission rescinded the following rules on April 13, 2012.  (77 FR 22200):  
	Disclosure Requirements for Depository Institutions Lacking Federal Deposit Insurance (16 CFR 320); 
	Mortgage Acts and Practices-Advertising Rule (16 CFR 321); 
	Mortgage Assistance Relief Services Rule (16 CFR 322);

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 113 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the DFA) (Pub. 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the General Services Administration Regulation (GSAR) to update the text addressing GSAR part 536, Construction and Architect-Engineer Contracts. This rule is a result of the GSA Acquisition Manual (GSAM) rewrite initiative undertaken by GSA to update internal policy and procedures pertaining to Construction and Architect-Engineer Contracts. The rewrite will include a review of solicitation provisions and contract clauses; address Construction Management as Contractor and Art-in-Architecture contracts; and will review selection panel processes for A/E contracting. The GSAM incorporates the GSAR as well as internal agency acquisition policy. 

This case is included in GSA's retrospective review of existing regulations under Executive Order 13563.  Additional information is located in GSA's retrospective review dated May 14, 2012, available at: www.gsa.gov/improvingregulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); Enterprise Acquisition Solution (EAS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The GSA is proposing to amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to add alternate GSAR/GSAM clauses that provide requirements for the Federal Supply Schedule contracting actions. The proposed revisions implement the Enterprise Acquisition Solution (EAS), the Federal Acquisition Service's (FAS) initiative. EAS supports FAS's modernization initiative to align continuous process improvements with Information Technology (IT) applications to create an end-to-end electronic contracting environment. With EAS, duplicate systems that support the same acquisition process will be eliminated and consistent standards for the acquisition process will be defined. As a result of EAS, FAS will meet its strategic priorities of acquisition excellence, environmental sustainability, workforce excellence, and customer-focused offerings, as well as facilitate transparency and open government. EAS will standardize and modernize the acquisition process to benefit contractors, acquisition personnel, and customers. EAS also facilitates the evaluation and award process for acquisition personnel by capturing all of the required pricing data upfront and eliminating the back and forth that sometimes occurs with the contractor to obtain all of the required information for evaluation. With EAS the approved price list will automatically post to GSAAdvantage!® providing the customer with current, accurate pricing on FSS contracts.

This proposed rule is part of the GSAM rewrite Project, in which all parts of the regulation are being reviewed and updated to include new statutes, legislation, policies, and to delete outdated information and obsolete forms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Federal Travel Regulation (FTR); FTR Case 2012-301; Removal of Conference Lodging Allowance Provisions </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GSA is proposing to amend the Federal Travel Regulation by removing the conference lodging allowance reimbursement option for employees on temporary duty (TDY) travel.  Agencies have a responsibility to act as a careful steward of taxpayer dollars, ensuring that Federal funds are used for the appropriate purposes, are important to the core mission of the agency and are cost-effective.  A centrally approved process for data on conference spending would ensure that information is readily available for audit review and management inquiry.  Although there is a possibility of agencies approving more requests for actual expenses, agencies will be more aware of conference lodging costs from the beginning and can establish policies that are cost effective.  Agencies should put emphasis on cost effective locations that accomplish the agencies mission and that are at or below the prescribed per diem rates for that area.  This case is included in GSA's retrospective review of existing regulations under Executive Order 13563.  Additional information is located in GSA's retrospective review (2012), available at: www.gsa.gov/improvingregulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to amend the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to revise GSAR/GSAM clauses to address use of the Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) under the Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) Program. The proposed revisions will reflect the current use of the Industrial Funding Fee to include the ability to offset losses in other Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) programs and fund initiatives that benefit other FAS programs. This change will benefit GSA and the Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) Program by facilitating transparency and open government, and more accurately define the current MAS Program operations while simultaneously complying with the recommendations of the GSA Office of Inspector General. This proposed rule is part of the GSAM rewrite Project, in which all parts of the regulation are being reviewed and updated to include new statutes, legislation, policies, and to delete outdated information and obsolete forms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule is a result of the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) Rewrite initiative undertaken by General Services Administration (GSA) to revise the GSAR to maintain consistency with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and to implement streamlined and innovative acquisition procedures that contractors, offerors, and GSA contracting personnel can utilize when entering into and administering contractual relationships.  The rule seeks to revise language to make it clearer, update statutory citations, and to delete obsolete language. The rule was put on hold pending FAR Cases 2008-032 and 2012-010 affecting interagency acquisitions.  The final rule for FAR Case 2008-032 was published in FAC 2005-55 in December 2011.  The case is expected to move forward upon issuance of the final rule for FAR Case 2012-010.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); GSAR Case 2006-G510, Rewrite of GSAR Part 504, Administrative Matters</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 and to add reference and a link to the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). GSAR subpart 504.5 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>GSAR Case 2010-G509, Reinstatement of Coverage Pertaining to Final Payment Under Construction and Building Service Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[GSA amended 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. This case is included in GSA's retrospective review of existing regulations under Executive Order 13563. Additional information is located in GSA's final plan dated August 18, 2011, available at : www.gsa.gov/improvingregulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule amends 2 CFR 1880 to extend coverage of nonprocurement suspension and debarment to all-tier procurement and nonprocurement actions under all grants and cooperative agreements.  Part 1880 prohibits the award of grants and cooperative agreements from offers that propose sub-awards to firms or individuals on the Excluded Parties List Service.  This rule will prevent appropriated funds going to any firm or individual that is excluded from doing business with the Government.  The revisions to this rule are part of NASA's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. NASA's full plan can be accessed at: http://www.nasa.gov/open.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nondiscrimination on Basis of Handicap</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule amends 14 CFR 1251 to align with the Department of Justice's (DOJ) implementing regulations incorporating the new accessibility standards.  Other amendments include updates to organizational information, use of the term "disability" in lieu of the term "handicap," changes to definitions, and other sections based on the Americans with Disabilities Act of 2008. 

Part 1251 implements the federally assisted provisions of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (section 504), as amended, 29 U.S.C. section 794, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by recipients of Federal Financial Assistance from NASA. Under Executive Order No. 12250, the United States Attorney General has the authority to coordinate the implementation and enforcement of a variety of civil rights statutes by Federal agencies such as NASA, including section 504.
 
The revisions to this rule are part of NASA's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. NASA's full plan can be accessed at: http://www.nasa.gov/open.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule amends 48 CFR for a comprehensive rewrite of the NASA FAR Supplement (NFS). The rewrite will accomplish basic administrative clean-up of document, correct numbering inconsistencies, incorporate guidance currently existing outside of the NFS, add new policy, and delete outdated policy. The effort will also identify opportunities for efficiencies and streamlining and include changes accordingly. The goal is to lessen the regulatory burden on the public.
  
The update to the NASA FAR Supplement will be done in three phases.  This first phase will amend part 1815, Contracting By Negotiation, 1834, Major System Acquisition, part 1841, Acquisition of Utility Services, part 1846, Quality Assurances, part 1851, Use of Government Sources by Contractors, and part 1852, Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses.

        <RULE_TITLE>Space Flight Mission Critical Systems Personnel Reliability Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule amends 14 CFR 1214, subpart 5.  NASA is determining if the need for this regulation still exists since the enactment of HSPD 12, Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors, which provides some initial and periodic screening and background checks for employees.  The original program was implemented in response to the Carter Administration's determination that the Space Shuttle was a critical national resource and that personnel assigned to mission critical positions in the Shuttle program that affected the safety of spaceflight needed to meet the highest standards of integrity and reliability.  If the need for this regulation continues, it will be shortened to incorporate the references provided by the HSPD-12 criteria.

Subpart 5 establishes a program to ensure that personnel assigned to mission critical positions/duties meet the screening requirements.  The revisions to this rule are part of NASA's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. NASA's full plan can be accessed at: http://www.nasa.gov/open.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NASA is amending subpart 4 of part 1204 that establishes the Agency's small business policy and outlines the delegation of authority in implementing this policy.  Currently, this section does not capture all small business categories and contains obsolete organizational references.  It has been determined that this section should be updated in accordance with and required by the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631).   

Revisions include adding more small business categories to include small disadvantaged business, HUBZone small business, women-owned small business concerns, veteran-owned small business, and service-and disabled veteran-owned small business.  Administrative changes to this policy include updating the office name and title of the head of the office and also describes the role of the Small Business Technical Advisor.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule was previously published as a NPRM on August 6, 2008.  It is being withdrawn due to FAR rules and NASA implementation in security and onboarding guides.  There is no longer a need for NASA FAR Supplement coverage.  

It revises the NFS to add subpart 1804.13, and corresponding clause at 1852.204, establishing Agency procedures for implementation of Contractor Personal Identity Verification as 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 rule will establish a new NFS Subpart 1804.13, which will pull Agency procedures into contracts and require flow down to subcontractors.]]></ABSTRACT>

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) and 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 requires NASA contractors to obtain the necessary permits and follow the safety requirements described in the public laws.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Inventions and Contributions</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 publication approval in NASA Tech Briefs of NASA employees and contractors' innovations. Reports are now paper forms. Accordingly, 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 within the agency and the change in responsibilities. Additionally, the revisions recognize that the agency has transitioned from a paper-based to a computerized system of record keeping and accounting resulting in electronic funds transfer payments. The revisions to this rule are part of NASA's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. NASA's full plan can be accessed at: http://www.nasa.gov/open.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>NASA FAR Supplement, Cross-Waiver of Liability</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule revised the NASA FAR Supplement by changing the coverage of the existing cross-waiver clauses to reflect the revised NASA authority established by the final rule published at 73 Federal Register 10143-50, dated 26 February 2008, because of NASA program changes. Cross-waivers of liability are situations in which all participating parties 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. The restructured clauses in this rule extend the existing principles into contracts for launch-related International Space Station (ISS) activities and Science or Space Exploration activities unrelated to the ISS that also involve a launch.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule is being withdrawn from the agenda and will be addressed in the rewrite of the NFS.

This rule revises the NASA FAR Supplement, part 1832 and provides agency procedures for suspension of payments for fraud. Since the agency procedures impact contractors, these procedures are being distributed through rulemaking. FAR 32.006-1 provides the framework and statutory authority (10 U.S.C. 2307(i)(2) and 41 U.S.C. 255, as amended by the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, Pub. L. 103-355.) Further, FAR 32.006-3 charges agencies with establishing their procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NASA is proposing revisions to its regulations for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) as authorized by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (40 CFR parts 1500 to 1508) and The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, sec 20113(a), 51 U.S.C. section 20113 (a). This proposed rule would update NASA's procedures at 14 CFR 1216.3, Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act. 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's experience with similar 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 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

Agencies were directed to "transition" from the SF-272 to the SF-425 as soon as possible after October 1, 2008, but no later than October 1, 2009. Consequently, NASA must revise the NASA Federal Acquisition Regulation supplement requirement to utilize SF-272 to request advance payments.]]></ABSTRACT>

The revisions will cover provisions in 36 CFR parts 1220, 1225, 1226, and 1235.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Designation of Low-Income Status</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NCUA Board proposes to amend its low-income credit unions regulation by extending the time credit unions have to accept a low-income designation.  Under the current rule, a Federal credit union (FCU) that has received notification from NCUA that it qualifies for a low-income designation has 30 days to notify NCUA that it wishes to receive the designation.  Some FCUs may find it difficult to respond this quickly, so the proposed rule extends the response period to 90 days.  The proposed rule also makes minor, nonsubstantive technical amendments to NCUA's insurance regulation to reflect current agency practice in this regard.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Maintaining Access to Emergency Liquidity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NCUA Board (Board) has requested public comment on a proposed regulation requiring federally insured credit unions (FICUs) with assets of $10 million or more to have a contingency funding plan that clearly sets out strategies for addressing liquidity shortfalls in emergency situations.  The NPRM also requires FICUs with assets of $100 million or more to have access to a backup Federal liquidity source for emergency situations.  Finally, the NPRM requires FICUs with less than $10 million in assets to maintain a basic written policy that provides a board-approved framework for managing liquidity and a list of contingent liquidity sources that can be employed under adverse circumstances.  The proposal is moving toward the final rule stage.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NCUA adopted a final rule to prohibit, with some exceptions, a federally insured credit union (FICU) from making golden parachute and indemnification payments to an institution-affiliated party (IAP).  The rule is intended to help safeguard the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund by preventing the wrongful or improper disposition of FICU assets and to inhibit unwarranted rewards to IAPs who may have contributed to a FICU's troubled condition.  NCUA also issued interim final and final rules to correct an exception to the definition of golden parachute payment pertaining to plans offered under section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 4, 2011, President Obama signed Senate Bill 4036 into law, which, among other things, amended the statutory definitions in the Federal Credit Union Act for net worth and equity ratio.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NCUA finalized its rule governing the process by which the agency solicits, receives, evaluates and acts on applications seeking loans or technical assistance grants from the Community Development Revolving Loan Fund (CDRLF).  The changes update the rule and are intended to improve its organization, structure, and ease of use by credit unions.  The revisions do not reflect a change to the fundamental mission of the CDRLF, but instead remove unnecessary detail and outdated processes in the current rule while adding clarification and flexibility.  The final rule also expands the detail relating to the application process and revises the requirements in the rule addressing reporting and monitoring.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) proposes rules to implement the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Under NEPA, each Federal department and agency conducting or supporting public works activities which affect the environment must implement the policies established under existing law. NEPA's basic policy is to assure that all branches of government give proper consideration to the environment prior to undertaking any major federal action that significantly affects the environment. These rules will ensure the NEA's integration of the NEPA process at the earliest possible time to reflect environmental values.]]></ABSTRACT>

It is removing its regulation implementing the Governmentwide common rule, currently located at 45 CFR part 1155, and issuing a new regulation to adopt the OMB guidance at 2 CFR part 182.

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of NEA Regulations Implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is proposing an interim final rule to update the agency's regulation implementing the federally assisted provisions of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (sec. 504), as well as to update the term "handicapped" to "individuals with disabilities."  The NEA will replace the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) with a different standard approved by the U.S. Department of Justice.  This new standard establishes that compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 Standards) will be the required means of complying with Section 504 accessibility requirements for new construction and alterations.  The NEA will update all relevant provisions and definitions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) proposes to unilaterally rescind its joint Freedom of Information Act Regulations with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, currently located in 45 CFR part 1100, and issue its own separate FOIA regulations.  The new regulations will provide the NEH's proposed procedures for disclosure of records, as required by the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 552, as amended.

        <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), after consultation with Indian tribes, published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to revise its fees regulation. The Commission will calculate fees based on each tribe's fiscal year and will require quarterly fee payments instead of yearly payments. Additionally, the Commission implemented a late payment system for late submissions of fees. Finally, the Commission revised the rule to ensure that fingerprint fees reflect the cost of fingerprint processing by providing for the annual review and adjustment of fees. The regulation will be effective on October 1, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC), after consultation with Indian tribes, published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to repeal the regulation providing for the review and approval of gaming ordinances enacted by tribes prior to January 22, 1993 that were not submitted to the Chair.  25 CFR 523.  This regulation applied only to ordinances established prior to the existence of the Commission.  There are no longer any such ordinances and, therefore, there is no further need for this regulation.  The repeal became effective on March 5, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC), after consultation with Indian tribes, published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to revise its enforcement regulations to provide for pre-enforcement procedures.  As part of this rulemaking, the Commission proposed a definition of "enforcement action" to clarify the proposed changes to 25 CFR part 573.  Neither the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (IGRA) nor NIGC's current regulations define "enforcement action." The final rule became effective on September 10, 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Representation-Case Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Labor Relations Board (the Board) has proposed to amend its rules and regulations governing the filing and processing of petitions relating to the representation of employees for purposes of collective bargaining with their employer. The NPRM set forth the Board's tentative view that the proposed amendments would remove unnecessary barriers to the fair and expeditious resolution of questions concerning representation; that they would simplify representation-case procedures and render them more transparent and uniform across regions, eliminate unnecessary litigation, and consolidate requests for Board review of regional directors' pre- and post-election determinations into a single, post-election request; and that they would allow the Board to more promptly determine if there is a question concerning representation and, if so, to resolve it by conducting a secret ballot election.  On December 22, 2011, the Board issued a final rule addressing a number of the proposed amendments. The final rule took effect on April 30, 2012.  On May 14, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a decision setting aside the final rule.  Chamber of Commerce v. NLRB (11-cv-2262).  On May 15, 2012, the Board announced that it had temporarily suspended implementation of the amendments adopted in the final rule.  The Board is appealing the court's decision. The Board is continuing to deliberate on the rest of the proposed amendments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NRC staff is preparing a regulatory basis for a proposed rule that 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.  The proposed rule would also modify part 50, appendix H, which contains reactor vessel material surveillance program requirements to monitor changes in the fracture toughness properties of the reactor vessel beltline due to neutron irradiation. This rule will also resolve issues raised in PRM-50-69.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to change the criteria for defining a medical event (ME) for permanent implant brachytherapy.    

Several medical use events involving therapeutic use of byproduct material in 2003, as well as advice from the Advisory Committee on the Medical Use of Isotopes (ACMUI), prompted the reconsideration of the appropriateness and adequacy of the regulations regarding MEs and written directives (WDs). 

A proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on August 6, 2008 (73 FR 45635), for public comment.  Most of the 57 comment letters received primarily opposed parts of the rulemaking.  During the fall of 2008, a substantial number of MEs involving permanent implant brachytherapy were reported to the NRC.  Based on its evaluation of this information, including an independent analysis by an NRC medical consultant, the staff developed a re-proposed rule in SECY-10-0062, "Re-proposed Rule: Medical Use of Byproduct Material-- Amendments/Medical Event Definitions," dated May 18, 2010, for Commission approval. 

In SRM-SECY-10-0062, dated August 10, 2010, the Commission disapproved the staff's recommendation to publish the re-proposed rule.  Instead, the Commission directed the staff to work closely with the ACMUI and the broader medical and stakeholder community to develop event definitions that will protect the interests of patients, allow physicians the flexibility to take actions that they deem medically necessary, while continuing to enable the agency to detect failures in process, procedure, and training, as well as any misapplication of byproduct materials by authorized users.  Additionally, the staff was directed to hold a series of stakeholder workshops to discuss issues associated with the ME definition.  The staff plans to expand this part 35 rulemaking to: modify preceptor attestation requirements, consider extending grandfathering to certain certified individuals (Ritenour petition PRM-35-20), and to consider other issues that have developed in implementation of the current regulations.  The NRC intends to merge this proposed rule with RIN 3150-AI63, Preceptor Attestation Requirements (NRC-2009-0175).]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As an alternative to the rulemaking, the NRC staff considered the "no-action" alternative.  Under this option the NRC would not modify part 35, and the medical events would continue to be considered under dose-based criteria than the activity-based criteria for the permanent brachytherapy implants.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The NRC is in the process of preparing a regulatory analysis to support this rulemaking.  The analysis examines the costs and benefits of the alternatives considered by the NRC.  The analysis will be available as part of the rulemaking package.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to enhance technical provisions associated with 10 CFR part 26 drug testing requirements and improve 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 will align the NRC's drug testing provisions in 10 CFR part 26 with those of other Federal agencies.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The need for rulemaking is to update and harmonize part 26 drug testing requirements with the 2008 HHS Guidelines.  The final rule for part 26 published on March 31, 2008, incorporated select provisions in the proposed rule published in 2004 to amend the HHS Guidelines to improve, in part, specimen collection, drug testing, privacy considerations, and due process.  On November 25, 2008, HHS published the final rule amending the HHS Guidelines to, in part, incorporate state-of-the-art drug testing methodologies, enhance drug testing methodologies, and improve the detection of illicit drug use or abuse within the Federal workplace.  NRC finalized its part 26 rulemaking prior to HHS publishing the final rule revision to the HHS Guidelines in 2008.  As a result, state-of-the-art drug testing provisions in the 2008 HHS Guidelines were not incorporated into the March 31, 2008, amendment of part 26.  This resulted in three potentially adverse outcomes:  (1) The substance detection provisions required by part 26 are not equivalent to those in the 2008 HHS Guidelines; (2) The evaluation of drug testing results required by part 26 has diminished the potential to effectively afford due process to individuals and identify persons subverting the testing process; and, (3) Certain administrative requirements in part 26 are not consistent with the 2008 HHS Guidelines and result in a burden on affected licensees and other entities.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The legal basis for the proposed action is 42 U.S.C. 2201, 42 U.S.C. 5841, and 10 CFR part 2, "Rules of Practice or Domestic Licensing Proceedings and Issuance of Orders," Subpart F, "Rulemaking."]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As an alternative to the rulemaking, the NRC staff considered the "non-action" alternative.  Without action the drug testing framework established by the NRC will not be as effective as can be in the identification of persons using the illegal drugs heroin, cocaine, or Ecstasy legal or misusing legal drugs such amphetamines who have access to NRC-licensed facilities; there will be a challenge to the NRC's regulatory Effectiveness Strategy because part 26 will be less effective than drug testing programs implemented by other Federal agencies; part 26 will be less effective at identifying persons desiring to subvert the drug testing process; and, due process afforded to individuals will be less effective for certain adulteration and validity test results. 

Issuance of Regulatory Guidance  The NRC, with or without public and industry involvement, can issue regulatory guidance on an acceptable method to implement part 26 requirements.  However, guidance in lieu of requirements would result in inconsistent implementation of drug testing, Medical Review Officer reviews, and due process afforded to individuals subject to part 26 drug testing, because guidance implementation by all affected entities is not mandatory.  As a result, the issuance of guidance could result in disproportionate burden on affected entities and the effectiveness of the part 26 requirements could be more based on site-specific considerations such as finances and employer-labor negotiations rather than the safety- or security-significance of the activities being performed.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Anticipated costs are estimated to be minimal.  FFD program (and site costs) will be the aggregate of licensee revision of FFD-program training, procedures, and policy; renegotiation of contracts already established with laboratories and reagent and blind sample suppliers; possible re-negotiation of collective bargaining agreements/provisions; and sundry other program changes.  The estimated one-time cost per site is estimated at $20,000 and one-time cost of $1.5 million for the industry.

Anticipated benefits are substantial.  The staff estimates that with effective implementation of the proposed amendment, affected entities will identify approximately 110  140 additional persons as being unfit for duty as a result of their misuse of legal substances or misuse of illegal substances.  The removal of these individuals from the protected area of affected nuclear facilities and having access to special strategic nuclear material or sensitive information pending evaluation by a Medical Review Officer, Substance Abuse Expert, and licensee representative contributes directly to public health and safety.  this contribution exists because when authorization is removed from these persons, these persons cannot challenge the defense-in-depth afforded by the NRC's regulations or cannot cause harm to themselves or others because they are impaired or exhibit diminished human performance.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The programmatic and litigative risks associated with implementation of the proposed action are minimal.  The NRC staff has received substantial feedback from affected entities with no unresolved significant adverse comments.  The general public has been invited to three public meetings and no substantial comments have been received.  The HHS Guidelines are considered a National standard and implemented by about 118 Federal agencies and many private entities; therefore, the provisions have been vetted, implemented, and lessons learned have been dispositioned without generic issues being identified.  The staff will evaluate all comments received on the proposed rule, solicit internal and external consensus, and incorporate changes to the proposed action as necessary.  The establishment of drug testing provisions in safety sensitive work places/activities is well established and part 26 drug testing requirements are consistent with other Federal drug testing programs.  The part 26 provisions have never been litigated.  Litigation of the 2008 HHS Guidelines and guideline implementation by other Federal agencies has not adversely affected the Part 26 requirements.  Provisions not covered by the Rule or proposed action would continue to be subject to employer-labor negotiation; however, resulting agreements would not be binding upon the NRC or adversely affect the effectiveness of the proposed action or current rule.  A qualitative reduction in the defense-in-depth afforded at affected commercial nuclear power facilities would result if the proposed amendment is not implemented because the potential for individual impairment could result in challenges to safe and competent human performance.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disposal of Unique Waste Streams [NRC-2011-0012]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR part 61 to require new and revised site-specific analyses to ensure that waste streams that are significantly different in terms of radiological characteristics (e.g., half-life) from those considered in the current technical basis can continue to be disposed of safely and still meet the performance objectives.  These changes would revise the existing site-specific analysis for protection of the general population to include a 20,000-year compliance period (i.e., performance assessment); add a new site-specific analysis for the protection of inadvertent intruders that would also include a 20,000-year compliance period and a dose limit (i.e., intruder assessment); add a new long-term-post-20,000 years-analysis for long-lived waste (i.e., long-term analyses); and revise the pre-closure analyses to include updates to the performance assessment, intruder assessment, and long-term analyses.  The proposed rule would also include changes to the regulations to reduce ambiguity, facilitate implementation, and better align the requirements with current health and safety standards.  This rule would affect low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) disposal facilities that are regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Agreement States.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to require low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) disposal facilities to conduct site-specific analyses to demonstrate compliance with the performance objectives.  Although the NRC believes that part 61 is adequate to protect public health and safety, requiring a site-specific analysis to demonstrate compliance with the performance objectives would enhance the safe disposal of LLRW and would provide added assurance that waste streams not considered in the part 61 technical basis comply with the part 61 performance objectives.  Further, these analyses would identify any additional measures that would be prudent to implement, and these amendments would improve the efficiency of the regulations by making changes to reduce ambiguity, facilitate implementation, and better align the requirements with the current and more modern health and safety regulations.  This rulemaking would correct ambiguities and provide added assurance that LLRW disposal continues to meet the performance objectives in part 61.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As an alternative to the rulemaking, the NRC staff considered the "no-action" alternative.  Under this option the NRC would not modify part 61, no long-term analyses would be required, no period of performance would be specified, and no intruder assessment would be required.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The NRC is in the process of preparing a regulatory analysis to support this rulemaking.  The analysis examines the costs and benefits of the alternatives considered by the NRC.  The analysis will be available as part of the rulemaking package.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Not conducting this rulemaking would allow the ambiguities in the part 61 regulations to continue and would not provide the added assurance that disposal of the waste streams not considered in the part 61 technical basis comply with the part 61 performance objectives.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Station Blackout Mitigation [NRC-2011-0299]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NRC published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) on March 20, 2012 (77 FR 16175), to seek public comments on potential changes to the Commission's regulations that address a condition known as station blackout (SBO).  SBO involves the loss of all onsite and offsite alternating current (ac) power at a nuclear power plant.  A central objective of this rulemaking would be to make generically applicable requirements previously imposed on licensees by EA-12-049 "Order Modifying Licenses with regard to Requirements for Mitigating Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events."  This  regulatory action is one of the near-term actions based on lessons-learned stemming from the March 2011, Fukushima Dai-ichi event in Japan.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rulemaking is intended to make, generically-applicable (by amending the Code of Federal Regulations), the requirements in Order EA-12-049, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events" that were issued on March 12, 2012.  The Order was issued in response to the events that occurred at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station on March 11, 2011 involving an earthquake and tsunami.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Order requirements were imposed on current power reactor licensees under 10 CFR 50.109(a)(4)(ii) as being required for adequate protection of public health and safety.  The rulemaking would be making those order requirements generically-applicable, and it is not anticipated that this action would be imposing substantial additional requirements beyond what has been already imposed on power reactor licensees by order.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[As an alternative to the rulemaking, the NRC staff considered the "non-action" alternative.  This alternative would mean that the NRC would be required to issue orders or impose license conditions on each new reactor licensed to ensure that the requirements continue to be imposed on all power reactor licensees. This is not the optimal regulatory approach and not consistent with the NRC's principles of good regulation.  The NRC sees benefit in pursuing a rulemaking that enables lessons-learned from implementation of EA-12-049 and external stakeholder feedback (through the public comment process) to be considered within the rulemaking to inform the requirements that are placed into the Code of Federal Regulations, which would then remove the need to issue orders or impose license conditions on each future reactor licensee.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The rulemaking is not anticipated to impose significant additional costs beyond those that are already being incurred due to implementation of EA-12-049.  The benefits of this regulatory action cannot be quantified due to large uncertainties associated with beyond design basis external events, which make it impractical to estimate (with any reasonable accuracy) a benefit to public health and safety through the use of a quantitative metrics such as reduced core damage frequency or reduced large early releases frequency.  The benefits, associated with these requirements (which impose requirements for licensees to develop, implement, and maintain strategies to mitigate beyond-design-basis external events) have been subjectively determined by the NRC to significantly enhance safety through in increased defense-in-depth.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[This rulemaking will amend the licensing, inspection, and annual fees charged to NRC licensees and applicants for an NRC license. The amendments are necessary to recover approximately 90 percent of the NRC budget authority for FY 2013, less the amounts appropriated for non-fee items. The OBRA-90, as amended, requires that the NRC
accomplish the 90 percent recovery through the assessment of fees. The NRC assesses two types of fees to recover its budget authority. License and inspection fees are assessed under the authority of the Independent Offices Appropriation Act of 1952 (IOAA) to recover the costs of providing individually identifiable services to specific
applicants and licensees (10 CFR part 170). IOAA requires that the NRC recover the full cost to the NRC of all identifiable regulatory services that each applicant or licensee receives. The NRC recovers generic and other regulatory costs not recovered from fees imposed under 10 CFR part 170 through the assessment of annual fees under the authority of OBRA-90 (10 CFR part 171).

        <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>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The objective of this rule is to provide reasonable assurance of preventing the theft or diversion of Category 1 and Category 2 quantities of radioactive material by establishing generally applicable security requirements similar to those previously imposed on certain licensees by the NRC orders.  Although a security order is legally binding on the licensee receiving the order, a rule makes requirements generally applicable to all licensees.  In addition, notice and comment rulemaking allows for public participation and is an open process.  This rulemaking places the security requirements for use of Category 1 and Category 2 quantities of radioactive material into the regulations.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[NRC could continue to regulate the security aspects for these facilities by Commission order.  This alternative would not significantly reduce the burden as the majority of the cost is associated with the order requirements.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This final rule will result in maximum annual impact to the economy of  approximately $17.9 million (using a 7 percent discount rate, annualizing the one-time costs over 20 years, and adding these "annualized" one-time costs to the annual costs) or $24.4 million (using a 3 percent discount rate).  The Office of Management and Budget has indicated that the annual cost of the orders should be included in the annual impact to the economy calculation.  The estimated annual cost to the industry using the pre-order was $111.6 million.  Therefore, this final rule is considered a major rule as defined by the Congressional Review Act.

The qualitative values of the rule are associated with safeguard and security considerations of the decreased risk of a security-related event, such as theft or diversion of radioactive material and subsequent use for unauthorized purposes.  Increasing the security of high-risk radioactive material decreases this risk and increases the common defense and security of the Nation.  Other qualitative values that are positively affected by the decreased risk of a security-related event include public and occupational health due to an accident or event and the risk of damage to on-site and off-site property.  In addition, regulatory efficiency is enhanced by the rule.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its environmental protection regulations by updating the Commission's 1996 findings on the environmental effect of renewing the operating license of a nuclear power plant.  The rule redefines the number and scope of the environmental impact issues which must be addressed by the NRC during license renewal environmental reviews.  The rule also incorporates lessons learned and knowledge gained from license renewal environmental reviews conducted by the NRC since 1996.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[NRC's environmental protection regulations are in 10 CFR part 51, and implement section 102(2) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The alternative to this rulemaking is to do nothing.  The NRC would not amend certain provisions of 10 CFR part 51 relating to the renewal of nuclear power plant licensees, including Table B-1, "Summary of Findings on NEPA Issues for License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants."  The NRC would continue to rely on the findings set forth in the current Table B 1 when evaluating the scope and magnitude of environmental impacts of renewing the operating license for a nuclear power plant.  This is not the optimal regulatory approach and not consistent with the NRC's principles of good regulation.  The NRC sees benefit in pursuing a rulemaking that both updates and re-evaluates the potential environmental impacts arising from the renewal of an operating license for a nuclear power reactor for an additional twenty years.  This rulemaking improves the efficiency of the license renewal process by identifying and assessing impacts that are expected to be generic (the same or similar) at all nuclear power plants (or plants with specific plant or site characteristics), and defining the number and scope of environmental impact issues that need to be addressed in plant-specific supplemental environmental impact statements.  Lessons learned and knowledge gained during previous environmental reviews provided a significant source of new information for this rulemaking (including changes to Federal laws).  For example, the rulemaking would now require applicants to evaluate the potential impact to groundwater quality from the discharge of radionuclides from plant systems, piping, and tanks.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will amend the Commission's regulations by adding additional requirements for licensees who possess significant quantities of uranium hexafluoride (UF6). The proposed amendments would require such licensees to conduct integrated safety analyses (ISAs) similar to the ISAs performed by 10 CFR part 70 licensees; set possession limits for UF6 for determining licensing authority NRC or Agreement States), and require the NRC to perform a backfit analysis under specified circumstances.  The proposed amendment would require applicants and licensees who possess or plan to possess significant amounts of UF6 to conduct an ISA and submit an ISA summary to the NRC.  The ISA, which evaluates and categorizes the consequences of accidents at NRC licensed facilities, would address both the radiological and chemical hazards from licensed material and hazardous chemicals produced in the processing of licensed material. The NRC is also proposing new guidance on the implementation of the additional regulatory requirements for licensees that would be authorized under this rulemaking.]]></ABSTRACT>

These facilities not only handle radioactive source material, but also large volumes of hazardous chemicals that are involved in processing the nuclear material which has a significant potential for onsite and offsite consequences.  Accidents at these facilities in the past have resulted in a death, serious harm to workers, and release of material offsite.

The rule would provide a risk-informed, performance-based regulatory structure that includes:  (1) the identification of appropriate risk criteria and the level of protection needed to prevent or mitigate accidents that exceed such criteria; (2) the performance of a comprehensive, structured, integrated safety analysis, to identify potential accidents at the facility and the items relied on for safety; and (3) the implementation of measures to ensure that the items relied on for safety are available and reliable when needed.  This will significantly reduce the risk of harm to workers, the public, and the environment.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[On April 10, 2007, and as supplemented on August 23 and December 21, 2007, and June 12, 2008, and August 14, 2009, and August 5 and August 15, 2010, and February 25, 2011, Transnuclear, Inc. Standardized NUHOMS® , the holder of CoC No. 1004, submitted to the NRC a request to amend CoC No. 1004.  Specifically, Transnuclear, Inc. Standardized NUHOMS® requested changes to:  1) add a new TC, the OS197L for use with the 32PT and 61BT dry shielded canisters (DSC); and 2) convert the CoC No. 1004 TSs to the format in NUREG-1745, "Standard Format and Content for Technical Specifications for 10 CFR Part 72 Cask Certificates of Compliance."  The previously approved payloads and the corresponding TSs have been retained "as-is" in the new format of the proposed TSs, including tables and figures.  In addition, this change removes the bases from the TSs and relocates the bases for the Limiting Conditions for Operation and Surveillance Requirements to UFSAR Chapter 10.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment No. 11 to CoC No. 1004 and does not include other aspects of the NUHOMS  System.  The NRC is using the "direct final rule procedure" to issue this amendment because it represents a limited and routine change to an existing CoC that is expected to be noncontroversial.  Adequate protection of public health and safety continues to be ensured.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The alternative to this action is to withhold approval of Amendment No. 11 and to require any 10 CFR Part 72 general licensee seeking to load spent nuclear fuel into Standardized NUHOMS® casks under the changes described in Amendment No. 11 to request an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212 and 72.214.  Under this alternative, licensees who want to use the cask would have to submit, and the NRC would have to review, separate exemption requests.  Each licensee seeking an exemption would prepare a request, including an environmental report.  The NRC review would include an environmental assessment and safety evaluation. This would increase the administrative burden upon the NRC and the costs to each licensee.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This direct final rule is consistent with previous NRC actions. Further, as documented in the SER and the environmental assessment, the direct final rule will have no adverse effect on public health and safety or the environment. This direct final rule has no significant identifiable impact or benefit on other Government agencies. Based on this regulatory analysis, the NRC concludes that the requirements of the direct final rule are commensurate with the NRC's responsibilities for public health and safety and the common defense and security. For these reasons, the Commission concludes that preparation of a regulatory analysis is neither required nor appropriate.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[On September 10, 2010 (ML102570739), and as supplemented on October 1, 2010 (ML102780596), February 18 (ML110620186),  and August 11 (ML11223A036) and November 14, 2011 (ML11320A185), Holtec International, the holder of CoC No. 1014, submitted a request to the NRC to amend CoC No. 1014.  Specifically, Holtec International requested changes to:  1) broaden the subgrade requirements for the HI-STORM 100U part of the HI-STORM 100 cask storage system; and 2) update the thermal model and methodology for the HI-TRAC transfer cask from a two dimensional thermal-hydraulic model to a more accurate three dimensional model.  Additionally, the following editorial changes are being made:  CoC; Conditions, first sentence, "Conditioned" is changed to "Conditional"; Appendix A and Appendix A-100U; SR 3.1.1.3 is revised to be consistent with the changes made to Condition No. 3 in Amendment No. 8; Appendix A-100U; Table 3-1, "< 30" is corrected to "less than or equal to 30" to be consistent with Appendix A.  

As documented in the SER, the NRC staff performed a detailed safety evaluation of the proposed CoC amendment request and found that an acceptable safety margin is maintained.  In addition, the NRC staff has determined that there continues to be reasonable assurance that public health and safety will be adequately protected.  

This direct final rule revises the HI-STORM 100 cask system listing in 10 CFR 72.214 by adding Amendment No. 9 to CoC No. 1014.  The amendment consists of the changes previously described, as set forth in the revised CoC and TSs.  The revised TSs are identified in the SER.  The amended HI-STORM 100 cask design, when used under the conditions specified in the CoC, the TSs, and the NRC's regulations, will meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 72; thus, adequate protection of public health and safety will continue to be ensured.  When this direct final rule becomes effective, persons who hold a general license under 10 CFR 72.210 may load spent nuclear fuel into HI-STORM 100 casks that meet the criteria of Amendment No. 9 to CoC No. 1014 under 10 CFR 72.212.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The direct final rule amends the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR part 73 to remove the Safeguards Information  Modified Handling (SGI-M) designation of the security related information for large irradiators, manufacturer and distributors, and for transport of category 1 quantities of radioactive material.  The rulemaking will also result in the removal of the SGI-M designation of the security related information for the transportation of irradiated reactor fuel that weighs 100 grams or less in net weight of irradiated fuel.  The security related information for these facilities and the transportation of certain materials will no longer be designated as SGI-M and will be protected under the information protection requirements that apply to other materials licensees that possess category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material.  This approach achieves sufficient protection of sensitive information while facilitating effective implementation of the part 37 requirements.  Conforming changes would be made to 10 CFR parts 30, 37, and 150.]]></ABSTRACT>

The objective of this proposed action is to ensure that the regulations regarding transfers of materials containing low concentrations of source material are adequate to protect public health and safety.  The NRC staff is planning to publish a notice in the Federal Register to withdraw the proposed rule, after which it will be removed from this report.]]></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 planning to publish a notice in the Federal Register to withdraw the ANPRM, after which it will be removed from this report.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NRC staff provided a draft proposed rule package on Controlling the Disposition of Solid Materials to the Commission on March 31, 2005, which the Commission disapproved (ADAMS Accession Number: ML051520285).  The rulemaking package included a summary of stakeholder comments (NUREG/CR-6682), Supplement 1, (ADAMS Accession Number: ML003754410).  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-10-0161).

The NRC staff believes that the draft final section 50.46a rule is an appropriate and well-founded approach to risk-inform the NRC's emergency core cooling requirements, because of the ongoing staff evaluation of Fukushima NTTF Recommendation 1 regarding the development of a new risk-informed regulatory framework and the recent publication of Risk Management Task Force's report, "A Proposed Risk Management Regulatory Framework."  However, the Commission approved the NRC staff request that the Commission defer its decision on the draft final rule (SECY-10-0161) so that it may be resubmitted later after the staff has completed its regulatory framework evaluation.  When the staff establishes its recommended approach, it will re-evaluate the draft final section 50.46a rule to ensure its compatibility with the recommended regulatory framework and the staff will resubmit the draft final section 50.46a rule for Commission consideration.]]></ABSTRACT>

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NRC staff is developing a proposed rule to amend the Commission's regulations to revise the acceptance criteria for the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) for light-water nuclear power reactors. The proposed ECCS acceptance criteria would be performance-based, and reflect recent research findings which identified new embrittlement mechanisms for fuel rods with zirconium alloy cladding under loss-of-coolant accident conditions.  Further, the proposed rule would address two petitions for rulemaking by establishing requirements applicable to all fuel types and cladding materials, and requiring the consideration of crud, oxide deposits, and hydrogen content in zirconium-based alloy fuel cladding.]]></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.  The Commission issue its SRM on SECY-09-014 on July 2, 2010, directing the staff to defer the decision on continuing the rulemaking until after the 10 CFR 50.46a rule is implemented and the staff obtains feedback from industry on the potential incremental benefit of a separate LOOP/LOCA rule.  The staff provided the draft 10 CFR 50.46a final rule to the Commission on December 10, 2010.  On April 26, 2012, the NRC staff withdrew the draft final rule.  The NRC staff will resubmit the draft final rule to the Commission after potential changes to NRC's regulatory framework under Fukushima NTTF Recommendation 1 are evaluated and considered in the draft final rule.  Because the schedule for resubmitting the draft final 10 CFR 50.46a rule to the Commission is uncertain, the schedule for reevaluating the need for a LOOP/LOCA rule is undetermined.
 
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 (ANPRM) 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>

        <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>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Variable Annual Fee Structure for Power Reactors [NRC-2008-0664]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was published in the Federal Register on March 25, 2009 (74 FR 12735), seeking comments from the public on a possible variable fee structure for part 171 annual fees for power reactors based on licensed power limits.  The comment period ended on June 8, 2009, and the NRC received 16 public comments.  The Commission approved the staff's recommendation to establish an NRC workgroup to analyze suggested methodologies for a variable annual fee structure for power reactors in SECY-09-0137 dated October 13, 2009.  On February 7, 2011, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) sent a memorandum to the Commission (ADAMS Accession No. ML110380251) responding to SECY-09-0137.  The OCFO has budgeted resources for this rulemaking in the Fiscal Year 2013 budget.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to ensure that personnel who actually perform independent quality control/verification (QC/QV) checks under the licensee's NRC-approved quality assurance program are subject to the same part 26, subpart I, provisions as operating personnel identified in section 26.4(a)(1). The proposed rule would also consider requests the Commission received in Petitions for Rulemaking 26-3, 26-5, and 26-6.  Part 26, subpart I, currently does not include QC/QV personnel as covered workers for fatigue management. Also, petitions for rulemaking have raised additional concerns from affected stakeholders.  A detailed regulatory analysis will be performed per NRC processes which detail the costs and benefits associated with the proposed rule.  This regulatory analysis will be published with the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to revise the existing security requirements that apply during the storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) at an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), and during the storage of SNF and high-level waste at a Monitored Retrievable Storage Installation (MRS).  This rule would require conforming changes to the ISFSI and MRS licensing requirements.  The specific objectives of this rule are to update the ISFSI security requirements to improve the consistency and clarification of the security requirements for both types of ISFSI licensees (i.e., general and specific); make generically applicable requirements similar to those imposed on ISFSI licensees by the post September 11, 2001, security orders; and use a risk-informed, performance-based structure in ISFSI and MRS security regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would have amended 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 publishing the final fuel cycle rule on July 27, 1979 (44 FR 45362), the Commission announced that it would publish an explanatory narrative to be part of that rule. A proposed rule "Appendix A, Narrative Explanation of Table S-3, Uranium Fuel Cycle Environmental Data," was published on March 4, 1981 (46 FR 15154). Work on this rulemaking was stopped, however, when on April 27, 1982, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, in a decision on the remanded Table S-3 case (NRDC v NRC, 685 F. 2d 459, D.C. Cir., 1982) vacated the NRC's original, interim, and final fuel cycle rules. This decision was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which on June 6, 1983, upheld all three versions of the NRC's Table S-3 rule and did not make publication of an explanatory narrative mandatory (Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. v NRDC, 51 U.S.L.W. 4678). The NRC plans to withdraw the rule activity discussed here from its agenda in the spring of 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Integrated Rulemaking for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors [NRC-2009-0083]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) 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, staff recommended that the integrated approach be approved and outlined staff plans for pursuing such a rulemaking.  Accordingly, the staff has subsumed previous rulemaking activities in the areas of emergency planning, insurance, safeguards, operator staffing, and backfit into one integrated rulemaking effort.  This rulemaking would apply to licensees who certified under section 50.82(a) that they have permanently ceased facility operation(s) and have permanently removed fuel from the reactor vessel.  The Commission approved this approach in an SRM dated December 21,1999.  

In SECY-00-0145, dated June 28, 2000, the NRC staff recommended a decommissioning rulemaking plan in the areas of emergency planning, insurance, safeguards, operator staffing, and backfit (the integrated decommissioning rulemaking plan). The rulemaking plan relied on a draft decommissioning risk study as the basis for its recommendations.  The Commission returned the rulemaking plan to the staff for rework in September 2000, based on changes to the decommissioning risk study findings.  The decommissioning risk study, NUREG-1738, was issued in January 2001.  After assessing the findings in the risk study, the staff presented a policy options paper to the Commission, SECY-01-0100, dated June 4, 2001, that provided options and made recommendations on issues to be addressed in the integrated rulemaking.  Following the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, the NRC staff recommended and the Commission approved the withdrawal of SECY-01-0101 because of the likely changes in the staff's position on decommissioning plant safeguards.  The decommissioning policy position will be revisited when a broad-scope NRC safeguards policy is developed in response to potential terrorist acts at nuclear facilities.  The schedule for the integrated rulemaking cannot be determined at this time.  The NRC plans to withdraw the rule activity discussed here from its agenda in the spring of 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Uranium in Drinking Water [NRC-2009-0086]</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 was on hold while NRC evaluated the possibility of removing this type of activity from NRC's jurisdiction.  In the meantime, a CWS was permitted 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.  In September 2010, the NRC decided it would no longer pursue this rulemaking, determining that a new general license is not needed at this time.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule amends requirements related to the emergency plans maintained by licensees, based on a comprehensive review of the NRC's 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 the consistent implementation of emergency plans among licensees; and (4) modify certain EP requirements to be more effective and efficient.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule would have also modified the compatibility categories contained in the current regulations (10 CFR 31.5 and 31.6) from "B" to "C."  The Commission disapproved publication of the final rule but did approved the change in compatibility for 10 CFR 31.5 and 10 CFR 31.6 from "B" to "C."

        <RULE_TITLE>Access Authorization and Physical Protection Requirements for Nuclear Power Plant Construction [NRC-2009-0195]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to add a new section to 10 CFR part 73.  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.

In a Staff Requirements Memorandum dated March 30, 2011(SECY-10-0137), the Commission disapproved the recommendation to publish for public comment the proposed rule to add requirements related to access authorization and physical protection during the construction of new nuclear power plants and directed staff to terminate this rulemaking effort.  The NRC plans to withdraw the rule activity discussed here from its agenda in the spring of 2012.]]></ABSTRACT>

[NRC-2010-0131]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the Commission's regulations to certify an amendment to the AP1000 standard plant design. The amendment replaces the combined license (COL) 
information items and design acceptance criteria (DAC) with specific design information, addresses the effects of the impact of a large commercial aircraft, incorporates design improvements, and increases standardization of the design. This action is necessary so that applicants or licensees intending to construct and operate an AP1000 design may do so by referencing this regulation (AP1000 design certification rule (DCR)), and need not demonstrate in their applications the safety of the certified design as amended. The applicant for this amendment to the AP1000 design is Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC (Westinghouse).]]></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>Executive Agency Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct Regulations Issued Jointly With the Concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics</RULE_TITLE>
        <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 Federal Acquisition Regulation TINA threshold.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) are proposing to issue regulations regarding designation of national security positions in the competitive service, and related matters. This proposed rule is one of a number of initiatives OPM and ODNI have undertaken to simplify and streamline the system of Federal Government investigative and adjudicative processes to make them more efficient and equitable. The purpose of this revision is to clarify the requirements and procedures agencies should observe when designating, as national security positions, positions in the competitive service, positions in the excepted service where the incumbent can be noncompetitively converted to the competitive service, and career appointments in the Senior Executive Service within the executive branch, pursuant to Executive Order 10450, Security Requirements for Government Employment. This proposed rule replaces OPM's proposed rule in 75 FR 77783 (Dec. 14, 2010), which is withdrawn.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to link locality pay area definitions to the current definitions of combined statistical areas and metropolitan statistical areas contained in OMB Bulletin 10-2.

Under current regulations, locality pay area definitions change whenever OMB revises statistical areas.  Since OMB is planning wholesale revisions in statistical area definitions in 2013, we need to change our regulation so that pay area boundaries do not change automatically when OMB revises the statistical areas.  This action will provide time for the Federal Salary Council and the President's Pay Agent to review the new statistical area definitions to assure they are appropriate before use in the locality pay program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a proposed rule that would redefine the geographic boundaries of the St. Louis, MO; Southern Missouri; Cleveland, OH; and Pittsburgh, PA, appropriated fund Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas.  The proposed rule would redefine Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, and Perry Counties, MO, from the Southern Missouri wage area to the St. Louis wage area and Mercer County, PA, from the Pittsburgh wage area to the Cleveland wage area.  These changes are based on recent consensus recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to best match the counties proposed for redefinition to a nearby FWS survey area.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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, Jan. 28, 2008) and section 565(b)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. 111-84, Oct. 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.  

Under 5 U.S.C. 6387, OPM is required, to the extent appropriate, to be consistent with Department of Labor (DOL) regulations.  We are currently waiting for DOL to issue their proposed and final regulations before we can proceed with proposed regulations.  DOL issued their proposed regulations on February 15, 2012 (77 FR 8960).  The comment period for the regulations closes April 16, 2012.

Proposed regulations were published under RIN 3206-AL91 at 74 FR 43064 on August 26, 2009.  The FMLA portion of those proposed regulations were split and will be republished under this RIN, 3206-AM12.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to implement a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 that provides that employees covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) who retire on an immediate annuity, or die while in active employment leaving a survivor or survivors between October 28, 2009 (the date of enactment of the statute), and December 31, 2013, will receive credit for 50 percent of their unused sick leave toward their total creditable service for annuity computation purposes.  The regulations would provide that employees covered by FERS who retire during this timeframe, with 50 percent of their sick leave having been credited toward their FERS annuity computation, are entitled to have the remaining 50 percent of their sick leave recredited to their sick leave account if they return to Federal service as reemployed annuitants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to the President's January 18, 2011, Executive Order 13563--Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, 76 FR 3821 (January 21, 2011), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) identified part 850 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, as a regulation that could be streamlined and revised so that it better serves OPM's ongoing modernization of the processing  of benefits under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS), the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (FEGLI), the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB), and the Retired Federal Employee Health Benefits (RFEHB) Programs.  OPM proposes to revise part 850 to ensure that it reflects the electronic recordkeeping and automated retirement processing improvements being deployed by OPM, agencies, and Shared Service Centers under OPM's Human Resources Line of Business. These amendments would also provide OPM with the flexibility to implement further improvements in automated retirement processing, recordkeeping, and electronic submission of forms and retirement applications as OPM's technological initiatives reach completion.]]></ABSTRACT>

Individuals will be given an opportunity to fully explain their failure to register, and the determination will be made on a more complete and reliable record.  OPM is also delegating authority to Federal agencies to make initial determinations as to whether an individual failure to register with Selective Service was knowing and willful.  The delegation will facilitate better quality in decisionmaking and more efficient decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a proposed rule to establish special wage schedules for the Department of Defense's (DOD's) nonappropriated fund (NAF) automotive mechanics.  These special wage schedules would replace the current commission pay practice covering DOD's NAF automotive mechanics with a flat rate pay system.  Implementation of a flat rate pay system will better align the pay practice for compensating NAF automotive mechanics with current prevailing pay practices in the private sector.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection by Offset From Indebted Government Employees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will issue final regulations to eliminate the 10-year statute of limitation on collection of debt by administrative offset, which includes centralized salary offset.  The regulations will conform with an amendment made by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.  This change will 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.  The regulations will also make several technical changes to be consistent with the Department of the Treasury Federal Claims Collection Standards and salary offset regulations.]]></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 Veterans 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 issued a final interim rule, published in the Federal Register at 76 FR 9939 on February 13, 2011. Comments for the interim final rule were due May 24, 2011, and the agencies are reviewing the comments in anticipation of issuing a final rule. 
 
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 benefits 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is amending subsection 870.801(d)(2) of title 5 Code of Federal Regulations.  This subsection implements section 8705 of title 5, United States Code regarding the effect of any court decree of divorce, annulment, or legal separation, or any court-approved property settlement agreement incident to any court decree of divorce, annulment, or legal separation (hereinafter "court order") where the court order expressly provides that an individual receive Federal Employee's Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) benefits.  The interim regulations will allow court orders submitted to the appropriate Federal agency before July 22, 1998, to be effective for providing FEGLI benefits if the court order was received in the appropriate office before the insured Federal employee's or annuitant's death.   This revision does not affect the current statutory limitation that court orders apply only when FEGLI benefits are based on insured individuals who died after July 22, 1998.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pay for Sunday Work</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 issued 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>Presumption of Insurable Interest for Same-Sex Domestic Partners</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will issue a final rule to amend parts 831 and 842 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, to include domestic partners in 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 candidates for employment.  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 have the same insurable interests in the continued life of employees or Members as the classes of persons listed in the existing rule.]]></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[The Commission adopted interim final rules, providing exemptions under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, and Trust Indenture Act of 1939, for those security-based swaps that under previous law were security-based swap agreements and have been defined as "securities" under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as of July 16, 2011, due solely to the provisions of title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act.  The Division is considering recommending that the Commission propose rules that would enable transactions in security-based swaps to rely on existing exemptions under the Securities Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission is reviewing the status under the Investment Company Act of companies that are engaged in the business of acquiring mortgages and mortgage-related securities (together mortgage companies).

The review focuses on mortgage companies, such as certain real estate investment trusts, that rely on the exclusion from the definition of investment company in section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act to avoid registration and regulation under that Act.  To help facilitate this review, the Commission issued a concept release to request information about these mortgage companies and solicit commenters' views about the application of the Investment Company Act to such companies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed amendments to Regulation M under an earlier RIN 3235-AF54 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 also 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The SEC proposed amendments to conform provisions of its net capital rule to changes to the net capital rule of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).  The proposed amendments would apply to broker-dealers also registered as futures commission merchants with the CFTC.

        <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 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 5 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 qualified residential mortgages, as defined in such joint regulations, be exempt from risk retention.  In accordance with the Act, the joint regulations would provide that asset-backed securities collateralized by certain assets that meet specified underwriting standards, as prescribed by the Federal banking agencies, may have less than 5 percent risk retention.]]></ABSTRACT>

These proposals would give effect to provisions of section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed rules to facilitate registration of security-based swap data repositories and a form to be used to register as a security-based swap data repository.  In June 2011, the Commission issued a release detailing the provisions that are not effective or do not require compliance as of a 360-day deadline in the Dodd-Frank Act and granting exemptive relief to entities that meet the definition of security-based swap data repository as set forth in section 3(a)(75) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 from those provisions of section 13(n) of the Exchange Act that require compliance as of the 360-day deadline. This exemptive relief does not end until the earlier of (1) the date the Commission grants registration to the security-based swap data repository and (2) the earliest compliance date for any of the final rules regarding the registration of security-based swap data repositories.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Registration and Regulation of Securities-Based Swap Execution Facilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission proposed a registration framework for security-based swap execution facilities ("SB SEFs"), rules that would implement a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act requiring SB SEFs to comply with fourteen enumerated core principles and enforce compliance with those principles, and a process for SB SEFs to submit proposed changes to their rules to the Commission.  The proposal includes an interpretation of the definition of "security-based swap execution facility" in section 3(a)(77) of the Exchange Act.  The Commission also proposed to exempt a registered SB SEF from the definition of "exchange," and to conditionally exempt a registered SB SEF from regulation as a "broker."]]></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 National Credit Union Administration (the Agencies), proposed regulations or guidelines with respect to incentive-based compensation practices at certain financial institutions that have $1 billion or more in total assets as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires that the Agencies prohibit any incentive-based payment arrangement, or any feature of any such arrangement, that the Agencies determine encourages inappropriate risks by covered financial institutions 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Clearing Agency Standards </RULE_TITLE>
        <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 proposed rules: (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.


The Commission adopted a new rule related to registered clearing agencies, including clearing agencies that clear security-based swaps.  The rule establishes minimum requirements for registered clearing agency risk management practices and operations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Removal of Certain References to Credit Ratings Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act requires the Commission to remove any references to credit ratings from its regulations and to substitute such standards of creditworthiness as the Commission determines to be appropriate.  The Commission proposed to amend certain rules and one form under the Securities Exchange Act applicable to broker-dealer financial responsibility, distributions of securities, and confirmations of transactions.  The Commission also requested comment on potential standards of creditworthiness for purposes of Exchange Act sections 3(a)(41) and 3(a)(53), which define the terms "mortgage related security" and "small business related security," respectively, as the Commission considers how to implement section 939(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Rule Filing Requirement for Dually Registered Clearing Agencies</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted an interim final rule to amend Rule 19b-4 under the Exchange Act, expanding the list of categories that qualify for summary effectiveness under section 19(b)(3)(A) of that Act to include any matter effecting a change in an existing service of a clearing agency registered with the Commission that both i)  primarily affects the futures clearing operations of the clearing agency, with respect to futures that are not security futures, and ii) does not significantly affect any securities clearing operations or any related rights or obligations of the clearing agency or persons using such service.  The Commission also made a corresponding technical modification to the General Instructions for Form 19b-4 under the Exchange Act.

The staff is considering recommending that the Commission adopt amendments to Rule 19b-4 and Form 19b-4 to streamline the rule filing process in areas involving certain activities concerning non-security products that may be subject to overlapping regulations as a result of, in part, certain provisions under section 763(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act that would deem some clearing agencies to be registered with the Commission as of July 16, 2011.]]></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 adopted 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 adopted 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>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted a new rule and rule amendments to implement the provisions of section 952 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which adds section 10C to the Exchange Act.  Section 10C requires the Commission to adopt rules directing the national securities exchanges and national securities associations to prohibit the listing of any equity security of an issuer that is not in compliance with section 10C's compensation committee and compensation adviser requirements.  In accordance with the statute, the rule directs the exchanges to establish listing standards that, among other things, require each member of a listed issuer's compensation committee to be a member of the board of directors and to be "independent," as defined in the listing standards of the exchanges adopted in accordance with the proposed rule.  In addition, section 10C(c)(2) of the Exchange Act requires the Commission to adopt new disclosure rules concerning the use of compensation consultants and any related conflicts of interest.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Commission adopted amendments to Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act, which permits investment advisers to charge fees to "qualified clients."  The amendments revise the dollar amount thresholds of the rule's tests that are used to determine qualified clients.  In addition, the rule amendments: provide that the Commission will issue an order every five years in the future adjusting the dollar amount thresholds for inflation; exclude the value of a person's primary residence and certain associated debt from the test of whether a person has sufficient net worth to be considered a "qualified client;" and add certain transition provisions to the rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

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[SBA's Office of Women's Business Ownership (OWBO) oversees a network of SBA-funded Women's Business Centers (WBCs) throughout the United States and its territories. WBCs provide management and technical assistance to small business concerns both nascent and established, with a focus on such businesses that are owned and controlled by women, or on women planning to start a business, especially women who are economically or socially disadvantaged. The training and counseling provided by the WBCs encompass a comprehensive array of topics, such as finance, management and marketing in various languages. This rule would propose to codify the requirements and procedures that govern the delivery, funding and evaluation of the management and technical assistance provided under the WBC Program. The rule would address, among other things, the eligibility criteria for selection as a WBC, use of federal funds, standards for effectively carrying out program duties and responsibilities, and the requirements for reporting on financial and programmatic performance.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>504 and 7(a) Regulatory Enhancements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 7(a) Loan Program and 504 Loan Program are SBA's two primary business loan programs authorized under the Small Business Act and the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 , respectively.  The 7(a) Loan Program's main purpose is to help eligible small businesses obtain credit when they cannot obtain "credit elsewhere."  This program is also an important engine for job creation.  On the other hand, the core mission of the 504 Loan Program is to provide long-term fixed asset financing to small businesses to facilitate the creation of jobs and local economic development. The purpose of this proposed rulemaking is to reinvigorate these programs as vital tools for creating and preserving American jobs.  SBA proposes to strip away regulatory restrictions that detract from the 504 Loan Program's core job creation mission as well as the 7(a) Loan Program's positive job creation impact on the American economy. The proposed changes would  enhance job creation through increasing eligibility for loans under SBA's business loan programs, including its Microloan Program, and by modifying certain program participant requirements applicable to these two programs.  The major changes that SBA is proposing include changes relating to affiliation principles, the personal resources test, the 9-month rule for the 504 Loan Program, and CDC operational and organizational requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") has determined that changing conditions in the American economy and persistent high levels of unemployment compel the agency to seek ways to improve access to its two flagship business lending programs: the 504 Loan Program and the 7(a) Loan Program.  The purpose of this proposed rulemaking is to reinvigorate and improve delivery of these programs to create and preserve American jobs.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The 504 Loan Program and 7(a) Loan Program are SBA's two primary business loan programs authorized under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 and the Small Business Act, respectively. Under these Acts, SBA's Administrator has the authority and responsibility for establishing guidelines for optimum delivery of these two Programs.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[With respect to the proposed changes to CDC Board of Director requirements, the Agency considered allowing CDC directors to operate with virtually no oversight or standards, relying on state non-profit corporation laws and state oversight to ensure proper Board performance.  This idea was rejected after  SBA's review of state oversight of non-profit directors and the applicable state law requirements indicated that they would not provide the parameters and oversight necessary for a Federal loan program that puts billions of taxpayer dollars at risk each year. Another "alternative" would be to eliminate even more regulatory burdens and the Agency enthusiastically encourages public comment and suggestions on how that can be done responsibly protecting the integrity of  the programs and the taxpayer investment without increased waste, fraud and/ or abuse.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The benefits of the proposed rule will include program enhancements to increase small business and lender participation in the program, and cost reduction of the 504 and 7(a) loan program to the federal government, participant lenders, and to the small business borrower.
The goal of the proposed rule is to reinvigorate the business loan programs by eliminating unnecessary compliance burdens and loan eligibility restrictions.  SBA estimates that the proposed rule will streamline the 504 and 7(a) loan applications resulting in an estimated 10% cost reduction to small business borrowers to participate in the 504 and 7(a) loan programs.  Based on estimates using FY 12 loan approvals as a base, the annual savings to borrowers for both programs combined is estimated at $700,000 - $750,000 annually. SBA also estimates that the proposed rule changes will reduce agency loan review burden hours by 5%.  Based on estimates using FY 12 loan approvals as a base, this burden reduction in loan review time combined for both the 504 and 7(a) loan programs is estimated at between $80,000 to $100,000 annually.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[SBA does not anticipate increased risk to the 504 and 7(a) loan programs due to this proposed rule.  SBA is confident that the rules will improve portfolio integrity and reach a more robust borrower that will reduce portfolio risk to SBA.
SBA also proposes more stringent corporate governance standards and higher insurance requirements for Certified Development Companies (CDC) to reduce risk to the SBA and the CDC.  These corporate governance proposed rules place more emphasis on board oversight and responsibility on CDC boards and increase insurance requirements on CDC boards as well as requiring errors and omissions insurance.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Business Jobs Act: Small Business Size Standards; Alternative Size Standard for 7(a) and 504 Business Loan Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <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>Small Business Jobs Act: Small Business Mentor-Protégé Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA currently has a mentor-protégé program for the 8(a) Business Development Program that is intended to enhance the capabilities of the protégé and to improve its ability to successfully compete for Federal contracts. The Small Business Jobs Act authorized SBA to use this model to establish similar mentor-protégé programs for the Service Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Federal Contract Business Programs. This authority is consistent with recommendations issued by an interagency task force created by President Obama on Federal Contracting Opportunities for Small Businesses. During the next 12 months, SBA will make it a priority to issue regulations establishing the three newly authorized mentor-protégé programs and set out the standards for participating as a mentor or protégé in each. As is the case with the current mentor-protégé program, the various forms of assistance that a mentor will be expected to provide to a protégé include technical and/or management assistance; financial assistance in the form of equity investment and/or loans; subcontracts; and/or assistance in performing prime contracts with the Government in the form of joint venture arrangements.]]></ABSTRACT>

This authority is consistent with recommendations issued by an interagency task force created by President Obama on Federal Contracting Opportunities for Small Businesses.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA has been reviewing its processes and procedures for implementing the HUBZone program and has determined that several of the regulations governing the program should be amended in order to resolve certain issues that have arisen. As a result, the proposed rule would constitute a comprehensive revision of part 126 of SBA's regulations to clarify current HUBZone Program regulations, and implement various new procedures. The amendments will make it easier for participants to comply with the program requirements and enable them to maximize the benefits afforded by participation. In developing this proposed rule, SBA will focus on the principles of Executive Order 13563 to determine whether portions of regulations should be modified, streamlined, expanded or repealed to make the HUBZone program more effective and/or less burdensome on small business concerns. At the same time, SBA will maintain a framework that helps identify and reduce waste, fraud and abuse in the program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These changes to 13 CFR sections 103, 134, and 2 CFR 2700 lay out a procedural process for SBA's revocation of the privilege of agents to conduct business with the Agency. Included in this process are procedure for proposed revocation, the opportunity to object to the proposed revocation, the revocation decision, as well as requests for reconsideration. These procedures also provide for suspension of the privilege to conduct business with the Agency pending a revocation action. In addition, these changes remove Office of Hearings and Appeals review of suspension, revocation, and debarment actions by SBA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Business Size Standards: Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction 

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA has received numerous comments from businesses, industry associations and other Federal agencies that SBA's small business size standards have not kept pace with changes in industry structure and Federal government contracting marketplace. SBA also recognizes that such changes require a re-evaluation of existing small business size standards. As a result, SBA is conducting a comprehensive review of all small business size standards to determine whether the existing size standards should be retained or revised. In addition, the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 directs SBA to conduct a detailed review of all size standards and to make appropriate adjustments to reflect market conditions. Accordingly, in this proposed rule, SBA will evaluate each industry within the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sector 21, Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction, and revise, as necessary, size standards for the sector. This is one of a series of proposed rules that will examine industries grouped by a NAICS Sector.]]></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 that has an employee-based standard but is not part of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sector 31-33, Manufacturing, or Sector 42, Wholesale Trade, and revised size standards for some of those industries.  This is one of the rules that will examine industries grouped by an NAICS Sector.  SBA has applied its "Size Standards Methodology," which is available on its Web site at http://www.sba.gov/size, to this proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Lender Oversight Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements the Small Business Administration's (SBA) statutory authority under the Small Business Reauthorization and Manufacturing Assistance Act of 2004 (Reauthorization Act) to regulate Small Business  Lending Companies (SBLCs) and non-federally regulated lenders (NFRLs).  It also 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>

There have been a number of changes to the framework of the STTR program and the updated Policy Directive will provide guidance and uniformity to agencies overseeing STTR research activities, as well as to small businesses/research institutions looking to meet agency research needs.

There will be costs involved in implementing the SBIR/STTR Reauthorization through the Policy Directive.  First, since there are numerous new or expanded responsibilities on both agency personnel and small businesses, there will be additional costs associated with the program.  SBA is of the opinion that the additional costs are not burdensome and that the amendments to the program through the SBIR/STTR Reauthorization legislation will help generate expanded economic benefits to both agencies and small businesses/research institutions.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

There have been a number of changes to the framework of the SBIR program and the updated Policy Directive will provide guidance and uniformity to agencies overseeing SBIR research activities, as well as to small businesses looking to meet agency research needs.

There will be costs involved in implementing the SBIR/STTR Reauthorization through the Policy Directive.  First of all since there are numerous new or expanded responsibilities on both agency personnel and small businesses (e.g. reporting), there will be additional costs associated with the program.  SBA is of the opinion that the additional costs are not burdensome and that the amendments to the program through the SBIR/STTR Reauthorization legislation will help generate expanded economic benefits to both agencies and small businesses.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is issuing regulations that will establish guidance under which Federal agencies may set aside part of a multiple award contract for small business concerns, set aside orders placed against multiple award contracts for small business concerns, and reserve one or more awards for small business concerns under full and open competition for a multiple award contract. These regulations will apply to small businesses, including those small businesses eligible for SBA's socioeconomic programs. The regulations will also set forth a Governmentwide 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 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.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations address subcontracting compliance and the interrelationship between contracting offices, small business offices, and program offices relating to oversight and review activities. The regulation also addresses 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 regulation also addresses 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>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Business Size Standards for Utilities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) proposes to revise the small business size standards for nine industries in North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sector 22, Utilities.  Six of those industries deal with electric power generation, distribution and transmission (NAICS 221111, NAICS 221112, NAICS 221113, NAICS 221119, NAICS 221121, and NAICS 221122) and have a common size standard based on electric output.  For those six industries, SBA proposes to replace the current size standard of 4 million megawatt hours in electric output with an employee based size standard of 500 employees.  SBA also proposes to increase the small business size standards for three industries in NAICS Sector 22 that have receipt based size standards, namely  NAICS 221310, Water Supply and Irrigation Systems, from $7 million to $25.5 million; NAICS 221320, Sewage Treatment Facilities, from $7 million to $19 million; and NAICS 221330, Steam and Air-conditioning Supply, from $12.5 million to $14 million.  As part of its ongoing initiative to review all size standards, SBA evaluated all industries in NAICS Sector 22 that have either electric output based or receipts based size standards to determine whether the existing size standards should be retained or revised.  This rule is one of the rules that will examine industries grouped by 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[The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) will increase small business size standards for one industry and one sub-industry in North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sector 23, Construction.  SBA will also increase the size standard for NAICS 237210, Land Subdivision, from $7 million to $25 million and the size standard for Dredging and Surface Cleanup Activities, a sub-industry category (or an "exception") under NAICS 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, from $20 million to $30 million in average annual receipts.  As part of its ongoing comprehensive size standards review, SBA has evaluated all size standards in NAICS Sector 23 to determine whether they should be retained or revised.  This is one of the rules that examines size standards of industries grouped by NAICS Sector.  SBA has applied its "Size Standards Methodology," which is available on its Web site at http://www.sba.gov/size, to this rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

As part of its ongoing comprehensive review of all small business size standards, SBA evaluated receipts based size standards for 16 industries and two sub-industries in NAICS Sector 11 to determine whether they should be retained or revised. SBA did not review size standards for 46 industries in NAICS Sector 11 that are currently set by statute at $750,000 in average annual receipts. SBA also did not review the 500-employee based size standard for NAICS 113310, Logging, but will review it in the near future with other employee based size standards.

        <RULE_TITLE>Conflict of Interest </RULE_TITLE>
        <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>

        <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 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 also implements a provision of the Energy Act that provides access to additional SBA leverage for SBICs that have made Energy Saving Qualified Investments.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Business Investment Companies-- Early Stage SBICs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To address a critical market need for early stage equity financing, SBA will 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 "Early Stage SBICs." 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 Early Stage SBICs may be significantly reduced. This rule will establish a number of regulatory provisions applicable to Early Stage SBICs for the purpose of managing overall program risk, including lower limits on maximum leverage eligibility and special distribution rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Surety Bond Guarantee Program, Quick Bond Guarantee Agreement</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[SBA developed a streamlined application for use by Prior Approval Sureties that will be used for smaller bonds to coincide with the current industry practice and to address surety concerns regarding SBA paperwork in the Surety Bond Guarantee (SBG) Program. Several participating surety companies have a shortened application process for non-guaranteed bonds that are issued in connection with lower contract amounts. This rule introduces a new application, the Quick Bond Guarantee Agreement (SBA Form 990A), that will be used for contract amounts that do not exceed $250,000. The single form is expected to reduce the number of forms currently submitted by surety bond applicants and, in so doing, replace SBA Form 994, Application for Surety Bond Guarantee Assistance and SBA Form 990, Surety Bond Guarantee Agreement. This rule also makes other minor administrative changes, including clarifying that the Prior Approval Agreement must be submitted to SBA prior to the Surety's execution of the bond (except for surety bonding lines) and, with respect to the rules regarding surety bonding lines, removing the reference to SBA Form 994C as this form is no longer used.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Business Size Standards: Adoption of 2012 North American Industry Classification System for Size Standards

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule will amend SBA's Small Business Size Regulations by incorporating the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) 2012 modifications of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) into its table of small business size standards.  NAICS 2012 created some new NAICS industries.  In addition, it revised the definitions of some NAICS 2007 industries, deleted others, and aggregated a number of closely related industries and activities into other new or revised industries.  These changes impact six (6) NAICS Sectors, mainly Sector 31-33, Manufacturing, where several closely related industries in NAICS 2007 are aggregated in new, existing, or other revised industries.  As a result, the size standards for some NAICS 2007 industries or activities will change.  Similar to the adoptions of prior OMB revisions to NAICS in 2002 and 2007, in this interim final rule, SBA is adopting the changes effective with the beginning of the Federal government's first new fiscal year (October 1, 2012) following the revision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>7(a) Loan Program - Eligible Passive Companies (Completed Action) 

</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prior SBA loan regulations allowed lenders and Certified Development Companies to make a loan to an Eligible Passive Company ("EPC") to purchase real or fixed assets that it leases to an Operating Company ("OC").  The prior regulations also allowed the loan to include working capital, as long as the EPC and OC are co-borrowers.  SBA discovered that some of its lenders had interpreted this rule to allow EPCs and OCs to co-borrow funds for the purchase of other assets for the OC's use, including intangible assets (such as trademarks, copyrights, intellectual property, or goodwill).  SBA recognized the need for this type of financing and needed to amend its regulations at 13 CFR 120.111 and 120.120 to allow it to continue.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Wage Reports (809P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend our rules on processing employers' annual wage reports by including electronic filing and removing magnetic media as a means of wage reporting.  We also propose to revise our rules to provide that if 95 percent or more of an employer's electronic wage reports have no Social Security numbers (SSNs) or incorrect employee names or SSNs, the employer must correct and resubmit the reports.  Our current rules contain a 90 percent threshold requirement.  Finally, we propose to replace outdated references and instructions to reflect current reporting requirements.  These proposed changes would update our regulations to reflect our current operating practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to create our own administrative debt collection regulations.  Currently, we collect these debts under the authority of the Health and Human Services regulation from 1995.  However, under the Department of Treasury regulations, to perform certain debt collection activities, agencies must publish their own regulations.  Therefore, we propose this regulation to allow us the ability to pursue collection of administrative debts on our own, against current and separated employees and non-employee debtors as authorized by the Debt Collection Act (DCA) of 1982, amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA) of 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to revise our rules to protect the integrity of our programs and to address public concerns regarding the removal of an administrative law judge's name from the Notice of Hearing and other prehearing notices.  To accomplish both objectives, these proposed rules state that we will provide an individual with notice that his or her hearing may be held by video teleconferencing and that he or she has an opportunity to object to appearing by video teleconferencing within 30 days of the notice.  We have also made changes that allow us to determine that claimant will appear via video teleconferencing if a claimant changes residences while his or her request for hearing is pending.  We anticipate these changes will increase the integrity of our programs with minimal impact on the public and result in more efficient administration of our program.]]></ABSTRACT>

This change would allow us to use the evidence from these sources to establish a claimant's medically determinable impairment(s).]]></ABSTRACT>

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>

Consequently, we do not expect the publication of this final rule to result in any negligible changes to OASDI or SSI benefit outlays.  The administrative effect of this regulation is negligible (i.e., less than 25 workyears or $2 million annually).]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to amend the regulations to establish that we can obtain medical evidence from any appropriate source, not just "special arrangement sources," when we can do so adequately and readily,  Due to our efforts to improve the evidence collection process through the increased use of Health Information Technology (health IT), we can obtain medical evidence electronically from certain sources, our health IT partners.  Although we currently have a limited number of health IT partners, which we consider "special arrangement sources" under our current rules, we expect more medical providers will adopt electronic health records and that the electronic exchange of medical records will become the primary means by which we obtain evidence.  Over time, health IT partners will be regular, not special, sources of medical records.  As such, our revised rules will clarify that we will obtain medical evidence from any source in those instances when we can do so adequately and readily.  By using this authority to obtain evidence from any appropriate source, we will be able to obtain evidence more quickly and efficiently in certain situations through increased use of health IT.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conforming Changes to Regulations Regarding Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amounts to Medicare Part B Premiums (3734I)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We are modifying our regulations to the Medicare Part B income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA) in order to conform to changes made to the Social Security Act (Act) by the Affordable Care Act. These rules remove the requirement that beneficiaries consent to the release of IRS information outside of SSA for appeals past the reconsideration level and freeze the income threshold and ranges from 2011 through 2019. We are also removing provisions that phased in the income-related monthly adjustment amount between 2007 and 2009.  The regulation also updates an outdated provision to reflect the transfer of authority for hearing appeals under title XVIII of the Act from SSA to the Department of health and Human Services, as prescribed by the Medicare Prescription Drug, and Modernization Act of 2003.]]></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>Garnishment of Accounts Containing Federal Benefit Payments </RULE_TITLE>
        <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[This advanced notice of proposed rulemaking will pose several questions to the public regarding the best means by which to encourage Employment Networks to assist beneficiaries in seeking employment at a level that could lead to eventual financial independence.  It will ask the public to weigh in on how we should define financial independence.  In addition, we will announce in the ANPRM public teleconferences and webinar meetings to obtain input from stakeholders to determine how best to re-focus the Ticket program (and its provider and beneficiary incentives) toward beneficiaries who are work-oriented and might become financially independent with the proper services and supports.  We want to hear from program beneficiaries and others about what combination of incentives would best to go to work and reach and sustain middle-class earnings.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>How We Collect and Consider Evidence of Disability (3487F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We modified 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 make a determination or decision on 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 (HIT).]]></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 amount (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 monthly premium and any applicable premium increases as described in 42 CFR 423.286. The regulations in this subpart explain how we decide whether you are required to pay an IRMAA, and if you are, the amount of your adjustment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Expedited Vocational Assessment Under the Sequential Evaluation Process (3684F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to give adjudicators the discretion to proceed to the fifth step of the sequential evaluation process for assessing disability when we have insufficient information about a claimant's past relevant work history to make the findings required for step 4. If an adjudicator finds at step 5 that a claimant may be unable to adjust to other work existing in the national economy, the adjudicator would return to the fourth step to develop the claimant's work history and make a finding about whether the claimant can perform his or her past relevant work. This proposed new process would not disadvantage any claimant or change the ultimate conclusion about whether a claimant is disabled, but it would promote administrative efficiency and help us make more timely disability determinations and decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to remove from our regulations the requirement that our adjudicators "consider the opinion given by one or more medical or psychological consultants designated by the Commissioner" when they make findings about medical equivalence to impairments listed in our Listing of Impairments (Listings).  We believe that this requirement is outdated and that we no longer need it.  Removing it will allow us to issue some favorable disability determinations and decisions more quickly.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Nonpayment of Benefits to Fugitive Felons and Probation or Parole Violators (2222P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To implement section 203 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA), we propose to revise our regulations on the payment of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act). Section 203 requires that title II benefits will not be paid to a person who is a fugitive felon or probation or parole violator, unless good cause is shown as specified in this new law. Section 203 also added a good cause exception to the title XVI fugitive felon ineligibility provision. In addition, we propose to make other changes in our regulations, required by this legislation, such as removing the reference to high misdemeanors in the state of New Jersey. Finally, we propose to clarify our interpretation of the statutory language ``fleeing to avoid "' for the purposes of the title II and title XVI provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), is issuing an regulation for SIGAR employees that will supplement the executive branch-wide Standards of Ethical Conduct (Standards) issued by OGE. The supplemental regulation includes a requirement that SIGAR employees obtain prior approval for certain types of outside activities.  

In 1992, OGE published the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch, as codified at 5 CFR part 2635 and effective February 3, 1993, which established uniform standards of ethical conduct applicable to all executive branch personnel. 

The National Defense Authorization Act (Pub. L. 110-181) established SIGAR. The agency's mission is to provide independent oversight of the treatment, handling, and expenditure of funds appropriated or otherwise made available for the reconstruction of Afghanistan; detect and deter fraud, waste, and abuse of U.S. funds; and promote actions to increase program economy, efficiency, and effectiveness. Afghanistan reconstruction includes any major contract, grant, agreement, or other funding mechanism entered into by any department or agency of the United States government that involves the use of amounts appropriated, or otherwise made available for the reconstruction of Afghanistan with any private entity to: 1) build or rebuild physical infrastructure of Afghanistan, 2) establish or reestablish political or societal institutions of Afghanistan, 3) build the Afghanistan National Security Forces, and 4) provide products or services to the people of Afghanistan.  

Given the importance of the agency's mission and the need to maintain objectivity and independence, SIGAR, through the proposed provisions, would require prior agency approval before employees engage in certain outside activities. Part 2635.105 authorizes executive branch agencies, with the concurrence of OGE, to publish such agency-specific supplemental regulations as may be necessary to implement their respective ethics programs. SIGAR, with OGE's concurrence, has determined that the following supplemental regulation is necessary, given SIGAR's unique status and mission, to implement the agency's ethics program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Requests for Testimony or the Production of Records in a Court or Other Proceedings in Which the United States is Not a Party
</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes procedures for the public to obtain the production or disclosure of information and documents of SIGAR in connection with legal proceedings in which neither the United States nor the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) is a party.  It sets forth the procedures used when determining whether SIGAR employees will be permitted to testify or provide records relating to their official duties when they are subpoenaed or otherwise requested to testify.  The rule also specifies the criteria that SIGAR officials are to use when deciding whether to allow an employee to testify or provide records.

On January 28, 2008, the President signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Pub. L. No. 110-181), which created the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). Under 5 U.S.C. 301, heads of Executive or military departments may prescribe regulations governing the conduct of its employees and the custody, use, and preservation of the department's records, papers, and property. Many departments and agencies have promulgated such regulations to provide procedures for the disclosure of official records and information. Generally, these are termed Touhy regulations, after the Supreme Court's decision in United States ex rel. Touhy v. Regan, 340 U.S. 462 (1951). In that case, the Supreme Court held that an agency employee could not be held in contempt for refusing to disclose agency records or information when following instructions of his or her supervisor regarding the disclosure that were issued pursuant to agency regulations. As such, an agency's Touhy regulations are the instructions agency employees are to follow when those employees receive requests or demands to testify or otherwise disclose agency records or information.

SIGAR's proposed Touhy regulations provide generally that employees of SIGAR may not disclose documents or information in response to a demand or order of a court or any other authority without first being authorized by the agency to do so. The purpose of these regulations is to conserve valuable agency resources, protect SIGAR employees from becoming enmeshed in litigation, and to protect sensitive Government information and decision making processes within the confines of the law.  In order to establish procedures to facilitate public interaction with SIGAR, SIGAR is issuing proposed and interim final regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board proposes to change some of its existing regulations and procedures concerning rate complaint proceedings. The Board previously created two simplified procedures to reduce the time, complexity, and expense of rate cases. The Board now proposes to modify its rates to remove the limitation on relief for one simplified approach, and to double the relief available under the simplified approach. The Board also proposes technical changes to the full and simplified rate procedure, and to raise the interest rate that railroads must pay on reparations if they are found to have charged unreasonable rates. The overarching goal is to ensure that the Board's simplified and expedited processes for resolving rate disputes are more accessible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board would require the nation's largest railroads to report separately how much each railroad is spending on the development, installation, and maintenance of Positive Train Control (PTC).  PTC is a system designed to prevent train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, incursions into established work zone limits, and the movement of a train through a switch left in the wrong position.  The Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 requires Class I rail carriers to implement PTC by December 31, 2015, on main lines where intercity rail passenger transportation or commuter rail transportation is regularly provided, and on main lines over which hazardous toxic-by-inhalation or poisonous-by-inhalation materials are transported.  49 U.S.C. 20157.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Trails System Act and Railroad Rights-Of-Way, Docket No. EP 702</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Board has proposed clarifications and updates to 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>
