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.

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

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.

[Docket No. 95N-310B]
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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Regarding general information on FDA's ``reinventing initiative'':
Lisa M. Helmanis, Office of Policy (HF-26), Food and Drug
Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-443-3480.
Regarding biologics regulations: Annette A. Ragosta, Center for
Biologics Evaluation and Research (HFM-630), Food and Drug
Administration, 1401 Rockville Pike, suite 200N, Rockville, MD 20852-
1448, 301-594-3074.
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.

DATES: September 30, 1996 for annual fees for Geosynchronous Space
Station Licensees, Intelsat and Inmarsat Signatories, and Low Earth
Orbit Satellite System Licensees. September 12, 1996, through September
20, 1996, for all other annual fee payors. Beginning on September 12,
1996, for applicants who pay fees in advance in combination with their
application fee for new, renewal and reinstatement authorizations in
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
private wireless services which pay annual fees of $7.00 in advance for
each year of their license term in combination with the appropriate
application fee are to begin paying the new rate on September 12, 1996.
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.

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.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

Removal of Duplicate Cotton and Rice Regulations
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule removes unnecessary, duplicative regulations
concerning the formulas by which the world prices of cotton and rice
are calculated. This action is being taken as part of the National
Performance Review.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 31, 1996.

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.

Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska; Pacific Ocean Perch in the
Eastern Regulatory Area
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.

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).

ACTION: Closure of the fishery.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NMFS announces the closure of the Northwestern Hawaiian
Islands (NWHI) crustacean fishery due to attainment of the harvest
guideline for the 1996 fishing season. Further lobster fishing in the
NWHI is prohibited until the beginning of the 1997 fishing season on
July 1, 1997. This action is intended to prevent overfishing and to
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.

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

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 95
[Docket No. 28621; Amdt. No. 397]
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.
