exploration,'' shall apply to any person who conducts or seeks to 
conduct coal exploration operations.
    (b) The Office shall make every effort to act on an exploration 
application within 60 days of receipt or such longer time as may be 
reasonable under the circumstances. If additional time is needed, OSMRE 
shall notify the applicant that the application is being reviewed, but 
more time is necessary to complete such review, setting forth the 
reasons and the additional time that is needed.
    (c) Where coal exploration is to occur on State lands or the

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures

[[Page 40152]]

(SIAPs) for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions 
are needed because of changes occurring in the National Airspace 
System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, 
addition of new obstacles, or changes in air traffic requirements. 
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the 
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under 
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: An effective date for each SIAP is specified in the amendatory 
provisions.
    Incorporation by reference-approved by the Director of the Federal 
Register on December 31, 1980, and reapproved as of January 1, 1982.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the 
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence 
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which affected airport 
is located; or
    3. The Flight Inspection Area Office which originated the SIAP.

For Purchase

    Individual SIAP copies may be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building, 
800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected 
airport is located.

By Subscription

    Copies of all SIAPs, mailed once every 2 weeks, are for sale by the 
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, 
Washington, DC 20402.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Paul J. Best, Flight Procedures Standards Branch (AFS-420), Technical 
Programs Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; 
telephone (202) 267-8277.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 97 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97) establishes, amends, suspends, or 
revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs). The complete 
regulatory description on each SIAP is contained in the appropriate FAA 
Form 8260 and the National Flight Data Center (FDC)/Permanent (P) 
Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) which are incorporated by reference in the 
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and Sec. 97.20 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). Materials incorporated by reference 
are available for examination or purchase as stated above.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a 
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register 
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory 
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction of charts 
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages 
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the 
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is 
unnecessary. The provisions of this amendment state the affected CFR 
(and FAR) sections, with the types and effective dates of the SIAPs. 
This amendment also identifies the airport, its location, the procedure 
identification and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 97 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 97) establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes SIAPs. For 
safety and timeliness of change considerations, this amendment 
incorporates only specific changes contained in the content of the 
following FDC/P NOTAM for each SIAP. The SIAP information in some 
previously designated FDC/Temporary (FDC/T) NOTAMs is of such duration 
as to be permanent. With conversion to FDC/P NOTAMs, the respective 
FDC/T NOTAMs have been cancelled.

    The FDC/P NOTAMs for the SIAPs contained in this amendment are 
based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal 
Instrument Approach Procedures (TERPS). In developing these chart 
changes to SIAPs by FDC/P NOTAMs, the TERPS criteria were applied to 
only these specific conditions existing at the affected airports. All 
SIAP amendments in this rule have been previously issued by the FAA in 
a National Flight Data Center (FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an 
emergency action of immediate flight safety relating directly to 
published aeronautical charts. The circumstances which created the need 
for all these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less 
than 30 days.
    Further, the SIAPs contained in this amendment are based on the 
criteria contained in the TERPS. Because of the close and immediate 
relationship between these SIAPs and safety in air commerce, I find 
that notice and public procedure before adopting these SIAPs are 
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where 
applicable, that good cause exists for making these SIAPs effective in 
less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); 
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the 
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA 
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) for operations at 
certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the 
adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in 
the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new 
navigational facilities, addition of new obstacles, or changes in air 
traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and 
efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight 
operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: An effective date for each SIAP is specified in the amendatory 
provisions.
    Incorporation by reference-approved by the Director of the Federal 
Register on December 31, 1980, and reapproved as of January 1, 1982.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the 
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence 
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected 
airport is located; or
    3. The Flight Inspection Area Office which originated the SIAP.

For Purchase

    Individual SIAP copies may be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building, 
800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected 
airport is located.

By Subscription

    Copies of all SIAPs, mailed once every 2 weeks, are for sale by the 
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, 
Washington, DC 20402.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul J. Best, Flight Procedures 
Standards Branch (AFS-420), Technical Programs Division, Flight 
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence 
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone (202) 267-8277.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 97 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97) establishes, amends, suspends, or 
revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs). The complete 
regulatory description of each SIAP is contained in official FAA form 
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5 
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and Sec. 97.20 of the Federal Aviation 
Regulations (FAR). The applicable FAA Forms are identified as FAA Forms 
8260-3, 8260-4, and 8260-5. Materials incorporated by reference are 
available for examination or purchase as stated above.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a 
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register 
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory 
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts 
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages 
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the 
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is 
unnecessary. The provisions of this amendment state the affected CFR 
(and FAR) sections, with the types and effective dates of the SIAPs. 
This amendment also identifies the airport, its location, the procedure 
identification and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 97 is effective upon publication of each 
separate SIAP as contained in the transmittal. Some SIAP amendments may 
have been previously issued by the FAA in a National Flight Data Center 
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate 
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The 
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP amendments may 
require making them effective in less than 30 days. For the remaining 
SIAPs, an effective date at least 30 days after publication is 
provided.
    Further, the SIAPs contained in this amendment are based on the 
criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument 
Approach Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs, the TERPS 
criteria were applied to the conditions existing or anticipated at the 
affected airports. Because of the close and immediate relationship 
between these SIAPs and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and 
public procedure before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and 
contrary to the public interest and, where applicable, that good cause 
exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); 
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the 
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA 
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

[Airspace Docket No. 95-ANE-11]
RIN 2110-AA66

Alteration of V-2 and V-14; NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule alters Federal Airways V-2 and V-14 between the 
Albany, NY, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) and the 
Gardner, MA, VOR. This action allows more flexibility for air traffic 
operations and enhances utilization of that airspace. In addition, the 
airspace description for V-14 in the notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) errorneously included Canadian airspace. This action corrects 
that error.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 10, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia P. Crawford, Airspace and 
Rules Division, ATA-400, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, 
Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-8783.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On September 21, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to alter V-2 and 
V-14 from the Albany, NY, VOR to the Gardner, MA, VOR (60 FR 48937). 
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Except for 
editorial changes and the removal of the language to exclude Canadian 
airspace from V-14, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the 
notice. Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) 
of FAA Order 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 
1995, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The airways 
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 alters V-2 and V-14 from the 
Albany, NY, VOR to the Gardner, MA, VOR. These airways are the primary 
arrival routes to Boston, MA, from the west. At the present time, the 
segment of the airways between the Albany VOR and the Gardner VOR is 
limited to a 10,000-foot minimum en route altitude (MEA). Realigning 
these airways will allow for a lower MEA to be assigned along these 
routes and will provide more flexibility for air traffic operations in 
that area. This alteration will enhance utilization of that airspace. 
In addition, the airspace description for V-14 in the NPRM errorneously 
included Canadian airspace. This action corrects that error because V-
14 does not penetrate the Canadian airspace.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); 
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the 
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that 
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Revocation of Certain Regulations; Biological Products

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule 
to remove certain biologics regulations that are obsolete or no longer 
necessary to achieve public health goals. These regulations were 
identified for removal as the result of a page-by-page review of the 
agency's regulations. This regulatory review is in response to the 
Administration's ``Reinventing Government'' initiative which seeks to 
streamline government to ease the burden on regulated industry and 
consumers.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 12, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On March 4, 1995, President Clinton announced plans for the reform 
of the Federal regulatory system as part of the Administration's 
``Reinventing Government'' initiative. In his March 4 directive, the 
President ordered all Federal agencies to conduct a page-by-page review 
of their regulations and to ``eliminate or revise those that are 
outdated or otherwise in need of reform.'' In the Federal Register of 
October 13, 1995 (60 FR 53480), FDA issued a notice of proposed 
rulemaking in which FDA proposed to remove a number of outdated or 
unnecessary regulations in parts 100 through 801 (21 CFR parts 100 
through 801). The regulations proposed for removal apply to a variety 
of products regulated by FDA, including foods, drugs, veterinary drugs, 
biological products, and devices. Interested persons were requested 
when submitting comments to identify the FDA Center responsible for the 
regulation of the product to which the comments applied. In order to 
expedite matters, the final rules resulting from the line-by-line 
review are being issued separately by FDA Centers. FDA is issuing this 
final rule, which eliminates

[[Page 40154]]

certain regulations affecting biological products in parts 600 through 
680.

II. Comments

    FDA received two comments on the proposed rule that related to the 
biologics regulations. One comment was general in nature and urged 
Congress to include FDA reform as a top priority in 1996.
    Congress is currently considering legislation that would affect FDA 
programs and procedures. FDA has testified at congressional hearings on 
the pending bills. The agency does not believe it would be appropriate 
to comment on the ongoing legislative initiatives in this rulemaking.
    The agency agrees with the comment that regulatory programs and the 
regulations that implement them should be reviewed and revised or 
reformed where appropriate. FDA is currently reviewing other biologics 
regulations, the potential removal or revision of which involves issues 
of greater regulatory complexity and, based on this review, will remove 
or significantly revise these regulations at a later date. In addition, 
a number of changes to the regulations and policies affecting 
biological products are already underway. (See for example, ``Interim 
Definition and Elimination of Lot-by-Lot Release for Well-Characterized 
Therapeutic Recombinant DNA-Derived and Monoclonal Antibody 
Biotechnology Products'' (60 FR 63048, December 8, 1995); ``Well-
Characterized Biotechnology Products; Elimination of Establishment 
License Application'' (61 FR 2733, January 29, 1996); ``Changes to an 
Approved Application'' (61 FR 2739); ``Draft Guidance; Changes to an 
Approved Application for Well-Characterized Therapeutic Recombinant 
DNA-Derived and Monoclonal Antibody Biotechnology Products; 
Availability'' (61 FR 2748); ``Changes to an Approved Application; 
Draft Guidance; Availability'' (61 FR 2749).) This final rule, 
``Revocation of Certain Regulations; Biological Products,'' is one part 
of the agency's efforts to create a more efficient and responsive 
regulatory system.
    The other comment received was supportive of the proposed rule and 
stated that it was a good first step in reducing regulatory burden. The 
comment suggested the incorporation of the United States Pharmacopeia 
(USP) monograph system based on the Center for Drug Evaluation and 
Research model into the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research's 
regulatory reform process.
    The agency does not agree with this suggestion because biologics, 
for which FDA is removing additional standards from the regulations, 
are complex and diverse entities. Monographs for many types of 
biological products could become quickly outdated in the rapidly 
evolving field of biotechnology, as did the Additional Standards in 
parts 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, and 680, which this final rule is 
removing. Use of monographs would allow for less flexibility in the 
development of product specifications for complex biologicals.

III. Effective Date

    As provided under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) and Sec. 10.40(c) (21 CFR 
10.40(c)), the effective date of a final rule may not be less than 30 
days after the date of publication, except for, among other things, ``a 
regulation that grants an exemption or relieves a restriction'' 
(Sec. 10.40(c)(4)(i)). The final rule is effective August 12, 1996.

IV. Analysis of Impacts

    FDA has examined the impacts of the final rule under Executive 
Order 12866 and the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354). 
Executive Order 12866 directs agencies to assess all costs and benefits 
of available regulatory alternatives and, when regulation is necessary, 
to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including 
potential economic, environmental, public health and safety, and other 
advantages; distributive impacts; and equity). The agency believes that 
this final rule is consistent with the regulatory philosophy and 
principles identified in the Executive Order. In addition, the final 
rule is not a significant regulatory action as defined by the Executive 
Order and so is not subject to review under the Executive Order.
    The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires agencies to analyze 
regulatory options that would minimize any significant impact of a rule 
on small entities. Because the proposed removals have no compliance 
costs and do not result in any new requirements, the agency certifies 
that the final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. Therefore, under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, no further analysis is required.

V. Environmental Impact

    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.24(a)(8) that this action 
is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an 
environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is 
required.

the private wireless services.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter W. Herrick, Office of Managing 
Director at (202) 418-0443, or Terry D. Johnson, Office of Managing 
Director at (202) 418-0445.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Adopted: July 22, 1996
Released: July 24, 1996

    1. The Managing Director has determined the dates for collection of 
the fees adopted in the fiscal year 1996 regulatory fee proceeding. See 
Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 1996, FCC-
295 (released July 5, 1996), 61 FR 36629 (July 12, 1996). We are 
establishing collection dates as indicated below.
    2. Annual regulatory fees for Geosynchronous Space Station 
licensees, Intelsat and Inmarsat Signatories, and Low Earth Orbit

[[Page 40156]]

Satellite System Licensees are due on September 30, 1996.
    3. Annual regulatory fees for regulatees in the cable television, 
common carrier, international (except the three categories listed in 
paragraph 2 above), mass media, and commercial wireless services are 
due during the period beginning September 12, 1996, and ending 
September 20, 1996. Parties paying these fees electronically are 
requested to submit them on September 12th or September 13th.
    4. Applicants for new, renewal and reinstatement licenses in the

For private wireless licensees which pay $3.00 in advance for each year 
of their license term in combination with the appropriate application 
fee, there is no change and they will continue to do so.
    5. Since the time for collecting fees is extremely limited, we are 
unable to offer installment payments for fiscal year 1996.
    6. Accordingly, it is ordered That the dates for collection of 
fiscal year 1996 regulatory fees are as provided in paragraphs 2, 3 and 
4 of this Order. This action is taken under delegated authority 
pursuant to Secs. 0.231(a) and 1.1157(b)(1) of the Commission's rules.

[Docket No. 960126016-6121-04; I.D. 072396C]

Fisheries Off West Coast States and in the Western Pacific; West 
Coast Salmon Fisheries; Inseason Adjustments From the U.S.-Canadian 
Border to Cape Falcon, OR

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Inseason adjustments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the non-treaty commercial and recreational 
salmon fisheries in the area from the U.S.-Canadian border to Cape 
Falcon, OR, will open under the contingency seasons announced in the 
annual management measures. NMFS announces that the overall treaty 
Indian ocean quota for coho salmon is modified to 25,000 fish. These 
actions are necessary to implement ocean salmon fisheries established 
in the annual management measures.

DATES: Opening of the non-treaty commercial and recreational salmon 
fisheries under the contingency seasons is effective July 22, 1996, 
through September 30, 1996. Modification of the treaty Indian coho 
quota is effective August 1, 1996, through September 30, 1996. Comments 
will be accepted through August 13, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to William Stelle, Jr., Director, 
Northwest Region, NMFS (Regional Director), NOAA, 7600 Sand Point Way 
NE., Seattle, WA 98115-0070. Information relevant to this action has 
been compiled in aggregate form and is available for public review 
during business hours at the office of the Regional Director.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William L. Robinson, 206-526-6140.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the annual management measures for ocean 
salmon fisheries (61 FR 20175, May 6, 1996), NMFS announced that the 
1996 non-treaty commercial and recreational fisheries north of Cape 
Falcon, OR, are closed unless the conditions allowing the contingency 
seasons are met. Specifically, if the Canadian harvest of coho salmon 
off the west coast of Vancouver Island (WCVI) is determined to be 1.3 
million coho or less, contingency seasons recommended by the Pacific 
Fishery Management Council would be implemented. At a Canadian harvest 
level between 1.1 million and 1.3 million coho off WCVI, the non-treaty 
ocean total allowable catch (TAC) would be zero chinook and 75,000 coho 
(18,800 coho to the commercial fishery and 56,200 coho to the 
recreational fishery). At a Canadian harvest level of less than 1.1 
million coho off WCVI, the non treaty coho TAC could be increased upon 
the recommendation of the States of Washington and Oregon and the 
treaty Indian tribes. The contingency seasons and any adjustments to 
the non-treaty coho TAC would be implemented by the Regional Director 
using the inseason management authority and process.
    On July 19, 1996, agreement was reached between the United States 
and Canada that the Canadian harvest of coho salmon off WCVI would be 
less than 1 million fish. This harvest level allows the implementation 
of the contingency seasons and the consideration of increasing the non-
treaty coho TAC. U.S. fishery managers agreed that any additional 
harvest opportunity on coho salmon would be provided to the inside 
fisheries instead of the ocean fisheries. Therefore, the non-treaty 
coho ocean TAC will remain at 75,000 coho, and the contingency seasons 
will open as described in Tables 1 and 2 of the annual management 
measures (61 FR 20181, May 6, 1996).
    The annual management measures for the treaty Indian troll 
fisheries initially set the coho quota at 12,500 fish. In accordance 
with the provisions in the annual management measures for a Canadian 
harvest level between 1.1 million and 1.3 million coho off WCVI, the 
Regional Director is raising the treaty Indian coho quota to 25,000 
fish.
    The Regional Director consulted with representatives of the 
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon Department of Fish 
and Game, Pacific Fishery Management Council, and treaty Indian tribes 
regarding this action. The States of Washington and Oregon will open 
the non-treaty commercial and recreational fisheries in state waters as 
provided in the annual management measures for the contingency seasons. 
The treaty Indian tribes will manage the treaty troll fisheries in 
accordance with the revised coho quota. As provided by the inseason 
action procedures of 50 CFR 660.411, actual notice to fishermen of the 
opening of the non-treaty commercial and recreational fisheries was 
given prior to July 22, 1996 (opening date of recreational seasons in 
two subareas between Leadbetter Point, WA, and Cape Falcon, OR), by 
telephone hotline number 206-526-6667 or 800-662-9825 and by U.S. Coast 
Guard Notice to Mariners broadcasts on Channel 16 VHF-FM and 2182 kHz. 
Because of the need for immediate action to open these fisheries in a 
timely manner, NMFS has determined that good cause exists for this 
action to be issued without affording a prior opportunity for public 
comment. This action does not apply to other fisheries that may be 
operating in other areas.

Classification

    This action is authorized by 50 CFR 660.409 and 660.411 and is 
exempt from review under E.O. 12866.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Executive Order 12866

    This rule has been determined to be not significant and was not 
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under Executive 
Order 12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act is not applicable to this rule 
because the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) is not required by 5 
U.S.C. 553 or any other provision of law to publish a notice of 
proposed rulemaking with respect to the subject matter of this rule.

Environmental Evaluation

    This action will have no significant impact on the quality of the 
human environment. Therefore, neither an Environmental Assessment nor 
an Environmental Impact Statement is needed.

Federal Assistance Program

    The titles and numbers of the Federal Assistance Programs, as found 
in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, to which this rule 
applies, are: Cotton Production Stabilization--10.052 and Rice 
Production Stabilization--10.065.

Executive Order 12778

    This rule has been reviewed in accordance with Executive Order 
12778. The provisions of this rule do not preempt State laws, are not 
retroactive, and do not require the exhaustion of any administrative 
appeal remedies.

Executive Order 12372

    This program is not subject to the provisions of Executive Order 
12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and 
local officials. See the Notice related to 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V, 
published at 48 FR 29115 (June 24, 1983).

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The amendments to 7 CFR part 26 set forth in this rule do not 
contain information collections that require clearance by OMB under the 
provisions of 44 U.S.C. 35.

Background

    This final rule removes duplicate regulations. The regulations at 7 
CFR part 26, Subpart A, were originally issued to establish the formula 
for calculating the world price for upland cotton. These regulations 
were subsequently duplicated at 7 CFR part 1427.25 but were not removed 
from their original location. Similarly, the regulations at 7 CFR part 
26, subpart B, were originally issued to establish the formula for 
calculating the world price for rice. These regulations were duplicated 
at 7 CFR part 1421.25 but also were not removed from their original 
location. There being no need for such duplication, this rule removes 
the needless regulations under 7 CFR part 26.

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 26

    Rice, Upland cotton, World market price.

    Accordingly, under the authority at 7 U.S.C. 1441-2, 7 CFR part 26 
is removed and reserved.

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Modification of a closure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS is opening the directed fishery for Pacific ocean perch 
in the Eastern Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action 
is necessary to fully utilize the total allowable catch (TAC) of 
Pacific ocean perch in that area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 12 noon, Alaska local time (A.l.t.), July 31, 1996, 
until 12 noon, A.l.t., December 31, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Smoker, 907-586-7228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The groundfish fishery in the GOA exclusive 
economic zone is managed by NMFS according to the Fishery Management 
Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North 
Pacific Fishery Management Council under authority of the Magnuson 
Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Fishing by U.S. vessels is 
governed by regulations implementing the FMP at Subpart H of 50 CFR 
part 600 and 50 CFR part 679.
    In accordance with Sec. 679.20 (c)(3)(ii), the annual TAC for 
Pacific ocean perch in the Eastern Regulatory Area of the GOA, was 
established by the Final 1996 Harvest Specifications of Groundfish (61 
FR 4304, February 5, 1996) as 2,366 metric tons (mt). The directed 
fishery for Pacific ocean perch in the Eastern Regulatory Area of the 
GOA closed to directed fishing under Sec. 679.20 (d)(1)(iii) in order 
to reserve amounts anticipated to be needed for incidental catch in 
other fisheries (61 FR 37225; July 17, 1996). NMFS has determined that 
as of July 13, 1996, 800 mt remain in the directed fishing allowance.
    The Director, Alaska Region, NMFS, has determined that the 1996 
directed fishing allowance of Pacific ocean perch in the Eastern 
Regulatory Area of the GOA has not been reached. Therefore, NMFS is 
terminating the previous closure and is opening directed fishing for 
Pacific ocean perch in the Eastern Regulatory Area of the GOA.
    All other closures remain in full force and effect.

Classification

    This action is taken under Sec. 679.20 and is exempt from review

Sharpchin/Northern Rockfish Species Group in the Aleutian Islands 
Subarea

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting retention of the sharpchin/northern 
rockfish species group in the Aleutian Islands subarea of the Bering 
Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). NMFS is requiring that 
catches of the sharpchin/northern rockfish species group in the 
Aleutian Islands subarea be treated in the same manner as prohibited 
species and discarded at sea with a minimum of injury. This action is 
necessary because the sharpchin/northern rockfish species group total 
allowable catch (TAC) in the Aleutian Islands subarea has been caught.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 1200 hours, Alaska local time (A.l.t.), July 27, 1996, 
until 2400 hours, A.l.t., December 31, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Furuness, 907-586-7228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The groundfish fishery in the BSAI exclusive 
economic zone is managed by the NMFS according to the Fishery 
Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and 
Aleutian Islands Area (FMP) prepared by the North Pacific Fishery 
Management Council under authority of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation 
and Management Act. Fishing by U.S. vessels is governed by regulations 
implementing the FMP at 50 CFR parts 600 and 679.
    In accordance with Sec. 679.20(c)(3)(iii), the sharpchin/northern 
rockfish species category initial TAC for the Aleutian Islands subarea 
was established by the Final 1996 Harvest Specifications of Groundfish 
(61 FR 4311, February 5, 1996) as 4,445 metric tons (mt). On May 30, 
1996 (61 FR 28072), NMFS closed the directed fishery for the sharpchin/
northern rockfish species category in this area.
    The Director, Alaska Region, NMFS, has determined, in accordance 
with Sec. 679.20(d)(2), that the TAC for the sharpchin/northern 
rockfish species group in the Aleutian Islands subarea has been 
reached. Therefore, NMFS is requiring that further catches of the 
sharpchin/northern rockfish species group in the Aleutian Islands 
subarea be treated as prohibited species in accordance with 
Sec. 679.21(b).

Classification

    This action is taken under 50 CFR 679.20 and is exempt from review

achieve optimum yield according to the objectives of the Fishery 
Management Plan for the Crustacean Fisheries of the Western Pacific 
Region (FMP).

EFFECTIVE DATES: Fishing for lobsters in the NWHI is prohibited from 
2400 hours (local time) July 26, 1996, through June 30, 1997. Landings 
of lobsters taken from the NWHI are prohibited after 2400 hours (local 
time) July 30, 1996, through June 30, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 5, 1996, a harvest guideline of 
186,000 spiny and slipper lobsters was published in the Federal 
Register (61 FR 35145) as the allowable harvest permitted in the NWHI 
for the 1996 fishing season, which began on July 1. Through July 21, 
150,000 spiny and slipper lobsters have been harvested by commercial 
fishing vessels, mostly at Necker Island. The average daily harvest has 
been more than 7,800 lobsters. Further harvesting of lobsters is 
therefore prohibited after 2400 hours (local time) July 26, 1996, when 
the harvest guideline is projected to be reached, and further landings 
of lobster taken in Permit Area I are prohibited after 2400 hours 
(local time) July 30, 1996.

7 CFR Part 928

[Docket No. FV96-928-1 FIR]

Papayas Grown in Hawaii; Assessment Rate

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Agriculture (Department) is adopting as a 
final rule, without change, the provisions of an interim final rule 
establishing an assessment rate for the Papaya Administrative Committee 
(Committee) under Marketing Order No. 928 for the 1996-97 and 
subsequent fiscal periods. The Committee is responsible for local 
administration of the marketing order which regulates the handling of 
papayas grown in Hawaii. Authorization to assess papaya handlers 
enables the Committee to incur expenses that are reasonable and 
necessary to administer the program.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 1996.

5698.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule is issued under Marketing 
Agreement No. 928 and Order No. 928, both as amended (7 CFR part 928), 
regulating the handling of papayas grown in Hawaii, hereinafter 
referred to as the ``order.'' The marketing agreement and order are 
effective under the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as 
amended (7 U.S.C. 601-674), hereinafter referred to as the ``Act.''
    The Department of Agriculture (Department) is issuing this rule in 
conformance with Executive Order 12866.
    This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil 
Justice Reform. Under the marketing order now in effect, handlers of 
papayas grown in Hawaii are subject to assessments. Funds to administer 
the order are derived from such assessments. It is intended that the 
assessment rate as issued herein will be applicable to all assessable 
papayas beginning July 1, 1996, and continuing until amended, 
suspended, or terminated. This rule will not preempt any State or local 
laws, regulations, or policies, unless they present an irreconcilable 
conflict with this rule.
    The Act provides that administrative proceedings must be exhausted 
before parties may file suit in court. Under section 608c(15)(A) of the 
Act, any handler subject to an order may file with the Secretary a 
petition stating that the order, any provision of the order, or any 
obligation imposed in connection with the order is not in accordance 
with law and request a modification of the order or to be exempted 
therefrom. Such handler is afforded the opportunity for a hearing on 
the petition. After the hearing the Secretary would rule on the 
petition. The Act provides that the district court of the United States 
in any district in which the handler is an inhabitant, or has his or 
her principal place of business, has jurisdiction to review the 
Secretary's ruling on the petition, provided an action is filed not 
later than 20 days after the date of the entry of the ruling.
    Pursuant to requirements set forth in the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (RFA), the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has considered the 
economic impact of this rule on small entities.
    The purpose of the RFA is to fit regulatory actions to the scale of 
business subject to such actions in order that small businesses will 
not be unduly or disproportionately burdened. Marketing orders issued 
pursuant to the Act, and the rules issued thereunder, are unique in 
that they are brought about through group action of essentially small 
entities acting on their own behalf. Thus, both statutes have small 
entity orientation and compatibility.
    There are approximately 400 producers of papayas in the production 
area and approximately 60 handlers subject to regulation under the 
marketing order. Small agricultural producers have been defined by the 
Small Business Administration (13 CFR 121.601) as those having annual 
receipts less than $500,000, and small agricultural service firms are 
defined as those whose annual receipts are less than $5,000,000. The 
majority of papaya producers and handlers may be classified as small 
entities.
    The papaya marketing order provides authority for the Committee, 
with the approval of the Department, to formulate an annual budget of 
expenses and collect assessments from handlers to administer the 
program. The members of the Committee are producers and handlers of 
papayas grown in Hawaii. They are familiar with the Committee's needs 
and with the costs for goods and services in their local area and are 
thus in a position to formulate an appropriate budget and assessment 
rate. The assessment rate is formulated and discussed in a public 
meeting. Thus, all directly affected persons have an opportunity to 
participate and provide input.
    The Committee met on April 26, 1996, and unanimously recommended 
1996-97 expenditures of $485,300 and an assessment rate of $0.0059 per 
pound of papayas. In comparison, last year's budgeted expenditures were 
$435,800. The assessment rate of $0.0059 is the same as last year's 
established rate. Major expenditures recommended by the Committee for 
the 1996-97 year include $160,000 for marketing and promotion 
activities, $130,000 for research and development, and $67,000 for 
salaries. Budgeted expenses for these items in 1995-96 were $165,500, 
$115,000, and $67,000 respectively.
    The assessment rate recommended by the Committee was derived by 
dividing anticipated expenses by expected shipments of papayas grown in 
Hawaii. Papaya shipments for the year are estimated at 30 million 
pounds which should provide $177,000 in assessment income. Income 
derived from handler assessments, the Hawaii Department of Agriculture, 
the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service, the County of Hawaii, and the 
Japanese Inspection program, along with interest income and funds from 
the Committee's authorized reserve, will be adequate to cover budgeted 
expenses. Funds in the reserve will be kept within the maximum 
permitted by the order.
    An interim final rule regarding this action was published in the 
June 4, 1996, issue of the Federal Register (61 FR 28000). That rule 
provided for a 30-day comment period. No comments were received.
    While this rule will impose some costs on handlers, the costs are 
in the form of uniform assessments on all handlers. Some of the costs 
may be

[[Page 40147]]

passed on to producers. However, these costs should be offset by the 
benefits derived by the operation of the marketing order. Therefore, 
the Agricultural Marketing Service has determined that this rule will 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    The assessment rate established in this rule will continue in 
effect indefinitely unless modified, suspended, or terminated by the 
Secretary upon recommendation and information submitted by the 
Committee or other available information.
    Although this assessment rate is effective for an indefinite 
period, the Committee will continue to meet prior to or during each 
fiscal period to recommend a budget of expenses and consider 
recommendations for modification of the assessment rate. The dates and 
times of Committee meetings are available from the Committee or the 
Department. Committee meetings are open to the public and interested 
persons may express their views at these meetings. The Department will 
evaluate Committee recommendations and other available information to 
determine whether modification of the assessment rate is needed. The 
Committee's 1996-97 budget and those for subsequent fiscal periods will 
be reviewed and, as appropriate, approved by the Department.
    After consideration of all relevant material presented, including 
the information and recommendation submitted by the Committee and other 
available information, it is hereby found that this rule, as 
hereinafter set forth, will tend to effectuate the declared policy of 
the Act.
    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, it is also found and determined that good 
cause exists for not postponing the effective date of this rule until 
30 days after publication in the Federal Register because: (1) The 
Committee needs to have sufficient funds to pay its expenses which are 
incurred on a continuous basis; (2) the 1996-97 fiscal period began on 
July 1, 1996, and the marketing order requires that the rate of 
assessment for each fiscal period apply to all assessable papayas 
handled during such fiscal period; (3) handlers are aware of this 
action which was unanimously recommended by the Committee at a public 
meeting and is similar to other assessment rate actions issued in past 
years; and (4) an interim final rule was published on this action and 
provided for a 30-day comment period, no comments were received.

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required 
IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for 
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a 
minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This 
regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the 
national Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the 
safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument 
conditions in the affected areas.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 15, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Paul J. Best, Flight Procedures Standards Branch (AFS-420), Technical 
Programs Division, Flight Standards Service Federal Aviation 
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, D.C. 20591; 
telephone: (202) 267-8277.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal 
Aviation Administration (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes 
IFR altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a 
specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover 
points (COPs) for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as 
prescribed in part 95.

The Rule

    The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the 
prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid 
coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of 
frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the 
need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and 
operational efficiency in the National airspace System, are related to 
published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and 
provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In 
addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this 
amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication 
date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the 
user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those 
considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between 
these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice 
and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable 
and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for 
making the amendment effective in less than 30 days. The FAA has 
determined that this regulation only involves an established body of 
technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are 
necessary to keep them operationally current.
    It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); 
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the 
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA 
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
