| 94-27086 | North Pacific Fishery Management Council; Teleconference | Proposed Rule | The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) will hold a teleconference on November 14, 1994. The teleconference will begin at 9 a.m., Alaska local time. The primary subject of the conference will be possible time/area closures for the groundfish fisheries to protect red king crab in Bristol Bay. The Council will receive reports on groundfish and crab concentrations and decide if an emergency rule to implement an area closure is warranted. Possible adjustments to the 1995 recommended vessel incentive program rate standards for the Bering Sea/Aleutian Island ``other trawl'' category will also be discussed. Listening sites for the public are being arranged for Anchorage, Homer, Kodiak, Juneau, Sitka, AK, and Seattle, WA. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27086/north-pacific-fishery-management-council-teleconference | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) will hold a teleconference on November 14, 1994.

| 94-27097 | Lead; Proposed Requirements for Disclosure of Information Concerning Lead-Based Paint in Housing; Proposed Rule | Proposed Rule | Section 1018 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 directs EPA and HUD to jointly issue regulations requiring disclosure of certain information by persons selling or leasing (leasing includes renting) housing that may contain lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards. Under that authority, EPA and HUD propose the following requirements. Sellers and lessors, or any agent acting on their behalf, of most residential housing built before 1978 would be required to provide purchasers and lessees with all information known to the seller, lessor, or agent on the presence of lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards, as well as an EPA pamphlet on lead-based paint hazards. In addition, sellers would be required to grant purchasers 10 calendar days to conduct an inspection or risk assessment for lead-based paint hazards before being obligated under any contract to purchase that housing. Finally, the regulation would require that a standard warning, disclosure, and acknowledgement form be attached to all leases and sales contracts involving target housing. The rule would require the completion of these disclosure activities before the purchaser or lessee had become obligated under any contract to purchase or lease the target housing. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27097/lead-proposed-requirements-for-disclosure-of-information-concerning-lead-based-paint-in-housing | Section 1018 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 directs EPA and HUD to jointly issue regulations requiring disclosure of certain information by persons selling or leasing (leasing includes renting) housing that may contain... | |||
| 94-27102 | Dihydro-7a-methyl-1H,3H,5H-oxazolo[3,4-c]oxazole; Proposed Significant New Use Rule | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for the chemical substance described as dihydro-7a-methyl-1H,3H,5H-oxazolo[3,4- c]oxazole, which is the subject of premanufacture notice (PMN) P-91- 1324. This proposal would require certain persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process this substance for a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing any manufacturing or processing activities for a use designated by this SNUR as a significant new use. The required notice would provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity before it can occur. DATES: Written comments must be received by EPA on or before December 2, 1994. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27102/dihydro-7a-methyl-1h3h5h-oxazolo34-coxazole-proposed-significant-new-use-rule | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for the chemical substance described as dihydro-7a-methyl-1H,3H,5H-oxazolo[3,4- c]oxazole, which is the subject of premanufacture notice... | |
| 94-27108 | Internalized/Affiliate Practices, Payment for Order Flow and Order Routing Practices | Proposed Rule | The Securities and Exchange Commission is proposing to revise its rules governing disclosure to customers by broker-dealers of practices related to the routing of order flow, including payment for order flow, internalization of order flow, and affiliate practices.

| 94-27111 | Airworthiness Directives; Beech Aircraft Corporation 33, 35, and 36 Series Airplanes | Proposed Rule | This document proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive 92-08-07, which currently requires inspecting (one-time) the wing front spar carry-through frame structure for cracks on certain Beech 33, 35, and 36 series airplanes, and, if found cracked, repairing or reinforcing. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has received 43 reports of wing front spar carry-through frame structure cracks on the affected airplanes during the inspection required by AD 92-08-07. The proposed action would make this one-time inspection repetitive. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent spar carry-through structure failure, which could result in severe structural damage to the wing. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27111/airworthiness-directives-beech-aircraft-corporation-33-35-and-36-series-airplanes | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This document proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive 92-08-07, which currently requires inspecting (one-time) the wing front spar carry-through frame structure for cracks on certain Beech 33, 35, and 36 series airplanes, and, if found cracked,... | |
| 94-27112 | Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Model S-76B Helicopters | Proposed Rule | This action withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Sikorsky Aircraft Model S-76B helicopters. That action would have limited the applicability of the inspections of the left and right engine input drive shaft assemblies (shaft assemblies) for loose balance weights or cracks to those shaft assemblies of original (or initial) design only, and would have excluded redesigned shaft assemblies from those inspections. Since the issuance of the NPRM, the FAA has received a report of a fatigue crack in a redesigned shaft assembly indicating a need to continue the existing inspections of the redesigned shaft assembly. Accordingly, the proposed rule is withdrawn. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27112/airworthiness-directives-sikorsky-aircraft-model-s-76b-helicopters | Transportation Department | 492 | This action withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Sikorsky Aircraft Model S-76B helicopters.

| 94-27117 | Decertification of Approved Instructors and Certified and Qualified Persons | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule would establish uniform procedures under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) for the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to decertify persons who have been designated as MSHA-approved instructors and those individuals certified or qualified to perform certain mining related tasks under the applicable training, safety and health regulations. These proposed decertification procedures would also apply to those persons who are deemed certified by MSHA as a result of their certification through State programs recognized by the agency. The proposal would provide notice of potential decertification by MSHA and would provide procedural due process, including a notice of proposed action, an informational meeting with the district manager, notice of the district manager's decision, appeal rights to the appropriate administrator, and a de novo post-decertification evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge of the U.S. Department of Labor. In addition, the proposal would provide a new paragraph to replace the decertification of diesel mechanics previously proposed. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27117/decertification-of-approved-instructors-and-certified-and-qualified-persons | Labor Department; Mine Safety and Health Administration | 271,288 | This proposed rule would establish uniform procedures under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) for the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to decertify persons who have been designated as MSHA-approved instructors and... | |
| 94-27126 | Reduction of Reporting Requirements Imposed on NRC Licensees | Proposed Rule | The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to reduce reporting requirements currently imposed on water-cooled nuclear power reactor, research and test reactor, and nuclear material licensees. This action would reduce the regulatory burden on NRC licensees. The proposed rule would implement an NRC initiative to review its current regulations with the intent to revise or eliminate duplicative or unnecessary reporting requirements. The proposed amendments would: (1) Eliminate the current requirement for licensees to submit summary reports of containment leakage rate tests to the NRC (10 CFR Part 50--Appendix J), but preserve the requirements in Secs. 50.72 and 50.73 under which licensees currently report any instances of leakage exceeding authorized limits in the technical specifications of the license; (2) revise 10 CFR 55.25 to refer licensees to a similar reporting requirement in 10 CFR 50.74(c) and require notification of operator incapacity only in case of permanent disability or illness; and (3) eliminate the requirement for quarterly submittal of safeguards event logs presently contained in 10 CFR 73.71(c)(2) and Appendix G to Part 73. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27126/reduction-of-reporting-requirements-imposed-on-nrc-licensees | Nuclear Regulatory Commission | 383 | The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to reduce reporting requirements currently imposed on water-cooled nuclear power reactor, research and test reactor, and nuclear material licensees.

| 94-27151 | Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment | Proposed Rule | This notice proposes amendments to the Federal motor vehicle standard on lighting to substitute SAE J576 JUL91 for the currently incorporated J576c as the referenced standard on plastics materials, to substitute ASTM D 1003-92 for ASTM D 1003-61 in the test procedures, to allow alternative processing techniques, sample sizes and thickness tolerances to those presently specified. Alternatively, the notice proposes amendments to the existing requirements that would accomplish the same ends. This action is taken pursuant to a grant of a petition for rulemaking submitted by Heraeus DSET Laboratories, Inc. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27151/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standards-lamps-reflective-devices-and-associated-equipment | Transportation Department; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration | 492,345 | This notice proposes amendments to the Federal motor vehicle standard on lighting to substitute SAE J576 JUL91 for the currently incorporated J576c as the referenced standard on plastics materials, to substitute ASTM D 1003-92 for ASTM D 1003-61 in the... | |
| 94-27153 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A320 Series Airplanes | Proposed Rule | This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A320 series airplanes. This proposal would require inspections to determine proper adjustment of the gap tolerances of the seat track joints at frame 64, and correction of discrepancies. This proposal would also require eventual repositioning or replacing the seat tracks on all affected airplanes, which would terminate the requirement of repetitively removing or repositioning the seat tracks. This proposal is prompted by in-service inspection reports, which have revealed that a gap between the forward and aft seat track at frame 64 could exceed the tolerance limit due to a method used on the assembly line to control the position of the seat track. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to ensure that the gap tolerances of the seat track joints do not exceed the tolerance limit and subsequently lead to separation of the passenger seats from the seat track under emergency landing conditions. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27153/airworthiness-directives-airbus-model-a320-series-airplanes | Transportation Department | 492 | This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A320 series airplanes.

| 94-27174 | Approval and Promulgation of an Implementation Plan for Vehicle Miles Traveled; Indiana | Proposed Rule | The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) proposes to approve a request for a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, addressing the Lake and Porter County ozone nonattainment area, submitted by the State of Indiana for the purpose of offsetting any growth in emissions from growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) or number of vehicle trips, and to attain reduction in motor vehicle emissions, in combination with other emission reduction requirements, as necessary to comply with Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) milestones and attainment requirements of the Clean Air Act (Act). The rationale for this proposed approval is set forth below; additional information is available at the address indicated below. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27174/approval-and-promulgation-of-an-implementation-plan-for-vehicle-miles-traveled-indiana | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) proposes to approve a request for a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, addressing the Lake and Porter County ozone nonattainment area, submitted by the State of Indiana for the purpose of... | |
| 94-27225 | Natural Resource Damage Assessments: Type A Procedure for Great Lakes Environments | Proposed Rule | On August 8, 1994, the Department of the Interior issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (59 FR 40319) to revise the natural resource damage assessment regulations. The natural resource damage assessment regulations establish procedures for assessing damages for injury to natural resources resulting from a discharge of oil into navigable waters under the Clean Water Act, or a release of a hazardous substance under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. The August 8, 1994 proposed rule describes a procedure for simplified assessments for relatively minor discharges or releases in Great Lakes environments. The Department is extending the period for comment on the proposed rule and soliciting comment on an additional aspect of the type A procedure. | 1994-11-02 | 1994 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/11/02/94-27225/natural-resource-damage-assessments-type-a-procedure-for-great-lakes-environments | Interior Department | 253 | On August 8, 1994, the Department of the Interior issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (59 FR 40319) to revise the natural resource damage assessment regulations.

| 94-20405 | DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Coast Guard DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS 38 CFR Part 21 | Proposed Rule | The Veterans Education and Employment Amendments of 1989 and the Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1990, contain provisions which change significantly the Montgomery GI Bill--Selected Reserve. These two acts expand this program by adding new types of permissible training such as apprenticeship and other on-job training, cooperative training, and flight training. Furthermore, the eligibility provisions are significantly liberalized. For instance, the attainment of a baccalaureate degree or equivalent evidence of completion of study will no longer bar some reservists from training under the Montgomery GI Bill--Selected Reserve. This proposal will acquaint the public with the way in which VA (Department of Veterans Affairs), the Department of Defense, and the Department of Transportation intend to implement these provisions of these two acts. | 1994-09-02 | 1994 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/09/02/94-20405/department-of-transportation-coast-guard-department-of-veterans-affairs-38-cfr-part-21 | Defense Department | 103 | The Veterans Education and Employment Amendments of 1989 and the Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1990, contain provisions which change significantly the Montgomery GI Bill--Selected Reserve.

| 94-21501 | DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule establishes regulations for seasons, harvest limits, methods, and means related to taking of wildlife for subsistence uses during the 1995-1996 regulatory year. This rulemaking is necessary because subpart D regulations require annual public review. When final, this rule making will replace hunting and trapping regulations in ``Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, Subpart D--1994-1995 Subsistence Taking of Fish and Wildlife Regulations,'' which expire on June 30, 1995. | 1994-09-02 | 1994 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/09/02/94-21501/department-of-the-interior | Agriculture Department; Forest Service | 12,209 | This proposed rule establishes regulations for seasons, harvest limits, methods, and means related to taking of wildlife for subsistence uses during the 1995-1996 regulatory year.

| 94-21513 | Federal Acquisition Regulation; Commercially Available Government-Furnished Material | Proposed Rule | The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council (CAAC) and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (DARC) are proposing changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to require contractors to provide all material for performing Government contracts, except when Government-furnished material is necessary to achieve significant economy, standardization, or expedited production, or when it is otherwise in the Government's interest. Also, material to be furnished by the Government shall be listed in the contract. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review pursuant to Executive Order No. 12866 dated September 30, 1993. | 1994-09-02 | 1994 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/09/02/94-21513/federal-acquisition-regulation-commercially-available-government-furnished-material | Defense Department; General Services Administration; National Aeronautics and Space Administration | 103,210,301 | The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council (CAAC) and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (DARC) are proposing changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to require contractors to provide all material for performing Government contracts,... | |
| 94-21514 | Federal Acquisition Regulation; Use of Government Facilities on A No-Charge Basis | Proposed Rule | The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council (CAAC) and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (DARC) are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to add two new clauses entitled, ``Schedule of Government-Furnished Property'' and ``Use on No-Charge Basis--Government Facilities, Special Test Equipment and Special Tooling''. The Government property clauses have been changed to reference the ``Schedule of Government-Furnished Property'' clause. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review pursuant to Executive Order No. 12866 dated September 30, 1993. | 1994-09-02 | 1994 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/09/02/94-21514/federal-acquisition-regulation-use-of-government-facilities-on-a-no-charge-basis | Defense Department | 103 | The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council (CAAC) and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (DARC) are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to add two new clauses entitled, ``Schedule of Government-Furnished Property'' and... | |
| 94-21578 | Lead; Requirements for Lead-based Paint Activities | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing regulations governing lead-based paint activities to ensure that individuals engaged in such activities are properly trained; that training programs are accredited; and that contractors engaged in such activities are certified. This proposed rule would also establish standards for performing lead-based paint activities and require that all lead-based paint activities be performed by certified individuals. When promulgated, the rule would fulfil the mandate of section 402 (a)(1) of Title IV of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Additionally, as part of this proposed rule, EPA has, in accordance with section 404(d) of TSCA, developed a proposed Model State Program. When promulgated, this program may be adopted by any State that seeks to administer and enforce a State program under Title IV of TSCA. | 1994-09-02 | 1994 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/09/02/94-21578/lead-requirements-for-lead-based-paint-activities | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing regulations governing lead-based paint activities to ensure that individuals engaged in such activities are properly trained; that training programs are accredited; and that contractors engaged in such activities are certified.

| 94-21638 | Accounting Requirements for REA Electric Borrowers | Proposed Rule | The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) proposes to amend its regulations on accounting policies and procedures for REA electric borrowers as set forth in REA's regulation concerning Accounting Requirements for REA Electric Borrowers, Uniform System of Accounts. This proposed rule would eliminate the requirement that REA borrowers place the difference between the amount accrued for postretirement benefits during the year and the amount paid on a ``pay- as-you-go'' basis in an external, irrevocable trust to be used solely for postretirement benefits. REA borrowers may, however, elect to voluntarily fund their postretirement benefit obligations. This proposed rule would set forth new accounting interpretations that address the requirements of recently issued pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board concerning the accounting for postemployment benefits and the accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities. In addition, this proposed rule would also set forth a new accounting for storm damage costs and the associated funds received from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). It would also clarify the accounting prescribed for computer software costs by specifying the accounts to which generalized software costs should be amortized and to which the costs of maintaining, updating, and converting files should be expensed.

| 94-21646 | Endangered and Threatened Species; Notice of Public Hearing and Extension of Comment Period on Proposed Endangered Status for the Umpqua River Cutthroat Trout | Proposed Rule | On July 8, 1994, NMFS proposed listing Umpqua River cutthroat trout as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (59 FR 35089). Department of Commerce ESA implementing regulations state that the Secretary of Commerce ``shall promptly hold at least one public hearing if any person so requests within 45 days of publication of a proposed regulation to list. . . .a species'' (50 CFR 424.16 (c)(3)). A public hearing on the proposed listing provides the opportunity for the public to give comments and to permit an exchange of information and opinion among interested parties. In response to a request by the Douglas Timber Operators, Inc. for a public hearing, NMFS announces that a hearing on the proposed listing of the Umpqua River cutthroat trout will be held from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Thursday, September 29, 1994, at the Timber/Indian Rooms of the Campus Center at the Umpqua Community College. The Umpqua Community College is located on College Way Road, Winchester, OR, and is approximately 7 miles north of Roseburg. The original public comment period for the proposed listing of Umpqua River cutthroat trout was scheduled to close on September 6, 1994. To ensure that the public is provided adequate opportunity to comment on the proposed listing, and in order to accept public comment after the public hearing, NMFS is extending the ongoing public comment period for 30 additional days. The extended public comment period for the proposed rule to list Umpqua River cutthroat trout as endangered will conclude October 6, 1994. Written comments should be sent to the address below. | 1994-09-02 | 1994 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/09/02/94-21646/endangered-and-threatened-species-notice-of-public-hearing-and-extension-of-comment-period-on | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | On July 8, 1994, NMFS proposed listing Umpqua River cutthroat trout as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (59 FR 35089).

| 94-21695 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Minnesota | Proposed Rule | On December 11, 1992, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) submitted proposed revisions to its State Implementation Plan (SIP) for sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2). In the proposed revisions, MPCA is attempting to demonstrate attainment and maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for SO<INF>2 as required by Sections 110 and 172 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7410 and 7502. The submittal consists of Administrative Orders representing the St. Paul Park/Ashland area of Air Quality Control Region (AQCR) 131. In this action, USEPA is proposing to disapprove the State's submittal based on enforceability and attainment demonstration concerns. The MPCA must address the concerns detailed in this action and submit the Administrative Order to USEPA before the end of the 30-day comment period. If no other substantive, adverse comments are received and MPCA adequately responds the USEPA's concerns before the end of the 30-day comment period, USEPA intends to proceed with a direct final approval of the submittal. If, however, the concerns are not adequately addressed before that time, USEPA will finalize the disapproval. The direct final rulemaking would provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the final rulemaking action. | 1994-09-02 | 1994 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/09/02/94-21695/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-minnesota | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | On December 11, 1992, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) submitted proposed revisions to its State Implementation Plan (SIP) for sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2).

| 94-21744 | Upward Bound Program; Proposed Rule | Proposed Rule | The Secretary proposes to amend the regulations governing the Upward Bound Program. These regulations are needed to further implement statutory changes made to the Upward Bound Program by the Higher Education Amendments of 1992, and to clarify and simplify certain requirements governing the program. The selection criteria, prior experience criteria, and grantee accountability provisions are affected by these proposed changes. The purposes and allowable activities of the Upward Bound Program support the National Education Goals. Specifically, the program funds projects designed to increase high school graduation rates, increase competency over challenging subject matters, encourage more students to pursue programs in mathematics and science, and help gain parental participation in the social, emotional and academic growth of their children. | 1994-09-02 | 1994 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/09/02/94-21744/upward-bound-program-proposed-rule | The Secretary proposes to amend the regulations governing the Upward Bound Program.

| 94-21785 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 1-Year Finding for a Petition To List the Pacific Coast Population of the Cactus Wren Under the Endangered Species Act | Proposed Rule | The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), announces a 1-year finding on a petition to add the Pacific coast population of the cactus wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus couesi) to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. After a review of all available scientific and commercial information, the Service determines that listing is not warranted at this time and hereby transfers the petitioned entity from category 2 to category 3B of the Candidate Notice of Review. The Service concludes that the cactus wrens occupying coastal southern California do not constitute a distinct population segment. Therefore, the Service concludes that the Pacific coast population of the cactus wren is not a listable entity. | 1994-09-02 | 1994 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/09/02/94-21785/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-1-year-finding-for-a-petition-to-list-the-pacific | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), announces a 1-year finding on a petition to add the Pacific coast population of the cactus wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus couesi) to the... | |
| 94-298 | Adjustment to the Examinations Fee Schedule | Proposed Rule | This rule proposes to adjust the current Examinations Fee schedule for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in order to generate sufficient revenue to recover the costs of providing immigration and naturalization services, and to change procedures and charges for the Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, Form I-129, in response to INS and user experiences. The fee adjustment is needed to comply with specific Federal immigration laws and the Federal user fee statute and regulations, which require the recipients of special benefits from Government services that are not directed to the public at large to bear the costs to the Government of providing those services. The fees proposed in this rule result from an analysis of adjudication and naturalization services and associated costs for fiscal years 1993 and 1994, and are calculated to recover the costs of providing these special services and benefits. This proposed rule ensures that funds will be available to continue to improve the quality of service to users. Its financial impact on users of the services is small. In most cases the proposed fee increase is five dollars. In the aggregate this proposed fee increase is slightly less than the projected change in the consumer price index since the last general fee increase in April 1991. | 1994-01-10 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/10/94-298/adjustment-to-the-examinations-fee-schedule | Justice Department; Immigration and Naturalization Service | 268,232 | This rule proposes to adjust the current Examinations Fee schedule for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in order to generate sufficient revenue to recover the costs of providing immigration and naturalization services, and to change... | |

If adopted, the proposal would regulate a plant at Kingsport, Tennessee, under the Tennessee Valley order, instead of the Carolina order, and it would keep regulated under the Tennessee Valley order a plant at Somerset, Kentucky, that otherwise might become regulated under the Louisville-Lexington-Evansville order. The proposals were submitted by Land-O-Sun Dairies, which operates the Kingsport, Tennessee, plant, and Southern Bell Dairy, Inc., which operates the Somerset, Kentucky, plant.

In order to focus agency consideration, each commenter is asked to concentrate on no more than three regulations he or she believes to be of primary concern. The agency asks further that each commenter provide a brief explanation of: (1) The bases for the three highest priority recommendations to amend or eliminate the regulations; (2) the ways in which each regulation's objective is otherwise fulfilled (e.g., by duplicative regulations or by technological advances that render the regulations obsolete); and (3) where appropriate, a suggested substitute or amended version of the regulations identified.

| 94-225 | Natural Resource Damage Assessments | Proposed Rule | Section 1006(e)(1) requires the President, acting through the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, to promulgate regulations for the assessments of natural resource damages resulting from discharges of oil. By today's Notice, NOAA is seeking comments concerning the proposed rule. The proposed rule is for the use of authorized federal, state, and tribal officials referred to in the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) as ``trustees,'' for the assessment of damages to natural resources and/or services from a discharge of oil. Natural resource damage assessments are not identical to response or remedial actions addressed by the larger statutory scheme of OPA. Assessments are not intended to replace response actions, which have as their primary purpose the protection of human health, but to supplement them, by providing a process for determining proper compensation to the public for injury to natural resources. | 1994-01-07 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/07/94-225/natural-resource-damage-assessments | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | Section 1006(e)(1) requires the President, acting through the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, to promulgate regulations for the assessments of natural resource damages resulting from discharges of oil.

Section 622(a) provides public housing agencies (PHAs) with the option, subject to certain requirements, to designate public housing projects, or portions of public housing projects, for occupancy by disabled families; elderly families; or disabled families and elderly families. This proposed rule would also amend existing regulations, which currently provide for preference for elderly families and disabled families, and discretionary preference for near-elderly families in ``public housing projects for the elderly''--that is, public housing projects that house both elderly families and disabled families. The regulations would continue to provide for preference for disabled families and elderly families in public housing projects that house a population of disabled families and elderly families. However, certain amendments would be made to include new and revised definitions pertaining to ``family'' as set forth in section 621 of the 1992 Act, and to provide for recognition of the designated housing process. | 1994-01-07 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/07/94-259/designated-housing-public-housing-designated-for-occupancy-by-disabled-elderly-or-disabled-and | Housing and Urban Development Department | 228 | This proposed rule would implement section 622(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.

| 94-341 | Codes and Standards for Nuclear Power Plants; Subsection IWE and Subsection IWL | Proposed Rule | The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to amend its regulations to incorporate by reference the 1992 Edition with the 1992 Addenda of Subsection IWE, ``Requirements for Class MC and Metallic Liners of Class CC Components of Light-Water Cooled Power Plants,'' and Subsection IWL, ``Requirements for Class CC Concrete Components of Light-Water Cooled Power Plants,'' of Section XI, Division 1, of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code) with specified modifications and a limitation. Subsection IWE of the ASME Code provides rules for inservice inspection, repair, and replacement of Class MC pressure retaining components and their integral attachments and of metallic shell and penetration liners of Class CC pressure retaining components and their integral attachments in light-water cooled power plants. Subsection IWL of the ASME Code provides rules for inservice inspection and repair of the reinforced concrete and the post-tensioning systems of Class CC components. Licensees would be required to incorporate Subsection IWE and Subsection IWL into their routine inservice inspection (ISI) program. Licensees would also be required to expedite implementation of the containment examinations and complete the expedited examination in accordance with Subsection IWE and Subsection IWL within 5 years of the effective date of this rule. Provisions have been proposed that would prevent unnecessary duplication of examinations between the expedited examination and the routine 120-month ISI examinations. Subsection IWE and Subsection IWL have not been previously incorporated by reference into the NRC regulations. This proposed amendment would specify requirements to assure that the critical areas of containments are routinely inspected to detect defects that could compromise a containment's pressure-retaining integrity. | 1994-01-07 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/07/94-341/codes-and-standards-for-nuclear-power-plants-subsection-iwe-and-subsection-iwl | Nuclear Regulatory Commission | 383 | The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to amend its regulations to incorporate by reference the 1992 Edition with the 1992 Addenda of Subsection IWE, ``Requirements for Class MC and Metallic Liners of Class CC Components of Light-Water Cooled... | |

| 94-120 | Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the Sacramento River, San Joaquin River, and San Francisco Bay and Delta of the State of California | Proposed Rule | On September 3, 1991, the Regional Administrator for Region IX of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency disapproved certain water quality criteria contained in the Water Quality Control Plan for Salinity for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary, that was adopted by the California State Water Resources Control Board on May 1, 1991. These criteria were disapproved because they failed to protect the Estuarine Habitat and other designated fish and wildlife uses of the estuary. Under the authority of section 303 of the Clean Water Act, this document proposes a rule establishing three sets of federal criteria to protect the designated uses of the estuary: salinity criteria protecting the Estuarine Habitat and other designated fish and wildlife uses, a second set of salinity criteria (measured in electrical conductivity) to protect the Fish Spawning (Striped Bass) designated use in the lower San Joaquin River, and a set of salmon smolt survival index criteria to protect the Fish Migration and Cold Fresh-Water Habitat designated uses in the estuary. | 1994-01-06 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/06/94-120/water-quality-standards-for-surface-waters-of-the-sacramento-river-san-joaquin-river-and-san | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | On September 3, 1991, the Regional Administrator for Region IX of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency disapproved certain water quality criteria contained in the Water Quality Control Plan for Salinity for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San... | |

| 94-65 | Medicare Program; Revisions to the Definition of End-Stage Renal Disease and Resumption of Entitlement | Proposed Rule | We propose to revise the definition of end-stage renal disease to reflect that more than one dialysis treatment is required for there to be a ``regular course of dialysis'' and to require that generally accepted diagnostic criteria and laboratory findings must form the basis of the physician's certification of end-stage renal disease. The purpose of this proposed revision is to eliminate any misinterpretation of the definition of end-stage renal disease. We propose to do so by clarifying that only those individuals whose kidneys have failed and for whom the disease is expected to be a lifelong affliction are eligible for Medicare end-stage renal disease benefits. We also propose to amend the regulations to specify that Medicare entitlement is resumed for individuals who again begin a regular course of renal dialysis treatments after a previous course is terminated (with or without a transplant), and to add the same considerations for those who have a second transplant. Therefore, the purpose of these proposed revisions is to conform the regulations more closely to the intent of sections 226A (c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Social Security Act regarding resumption of entitlement to Medicare. | 1994-01-06 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/06/94-65/medicare-program-revisions-to-the-definition-of-end-stage-renal-disease-and-resumption-of | Health and Human Services Department; Health Care Finance Administration | 221,559 | We propose to revise the definition of end-stage renal disease to reflect that more than one dialysis treatment is required for there to be a ``regular course of dialysis'' and to require that generally accepted diagnostic criteria and laboratory... | |
| 94-90 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revised Proposed Critical Habitat Determination for the Delta Smelt | Proposed Rule | The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) revises its proposed designation of critical habitat for the delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) originally published on October 3, 1991, concurrently with the proposal to list the species, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The final rule listing the delta smelt as a threatened species was published on March 5, 1993. In the final rule, the Service postponed the decision on critical habitat determination for up to 1 year beyond the date that the final rule was due (October 3, 1993) in accordance with section 4(b)(6)(C)(ii) of the Act. The Service has refined the primary constituent elements described in the original critical habitat proposal. This revised proposed rule supersedes all aspects of the Service's previous proposal. Critical habitat designation for the delta smelt would provide additional protection under section 7 of the Act with regard to activities that require Federal agency action. As required by section 4 of the Act, the Service will consider economic and other relevant impacts prior to making a final decision on the size and configuration of critical habitat. The Service solicits data and comments from the public on all aspects of this revised proposal. | 1994-01-06 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/06/94-90/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-revised-proposed-critical-habitat-determination-for | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) revises its proposed designation of critical habitat for the delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) originally published on October 3, 1991, concurrently with the proposal to list the species, pursuant to the... | |
| 94-91 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Determination of Threatened Status for the Sacramento Splittail | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) proposes threatened status for the Sacramento splittail (Pogonichthys macrolepidotus) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Sacramento splittail occur in Suisun Bay and the San Francisco Bay-Sacramento-San Joaquin River Estuary in California. The Sacramento splittail has declined by 62 percent over the last 15 years. This species is primarily threatened by large freshwater exports from Sacramento and San Joaquin River diversions, prolonged drought, loss of shallow-water habitat, introduced aquatic species, and agricultural and industrial chemicals. This proposal, if made final, would implement the protection and recovery provisions afforded by the Act for Sacramento splittail. The Service seeks all available data and comments from the public regarding this proposal. | 1994-01-06 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/06/94-91/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-proposed-determination-of-threatened-status-for-the | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) proposes threatened status for the Sacramento splittail (Pogonichthys macrolepidotus) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).

| 94-92 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Notice of 1-Year Finding on a Petition to List the Longfin Smelt | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces a 1- year finding on a petition to list the longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The Service determines that the petitioned action is not warranted at this time. The longfin smelt occurs from the San Francisco Bay-Sacramento-San Joaquin River Estuary in California to Prince William Sound in Alaska. Although the southernmost populations are declining, little or no population trend data are available for estuaries in Oregon and Washington. The species may be surviving and reproducing in Puget Sound, Skagit Bay, Grays Harbor, Willapa Bay, the Columbia River, Yaquina Bay, and Coos Bay. Large numbers are found in the Gulf of Alaska 5 to 6 miles off shore. The listing of a Sacramento- San Joaquin River estuary vertebrate population segment is also not warranted at this time because that population does not seem to be biologically significant to the species as a whole, and may not be sufficiently reproductively isolated. | 1994-01-06 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/06/94-92/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-notice-of-1-year-finding-on-a-petition-to-list-the | Interior Department | 253 | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces a 1- year finding on a petition to list the longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).

| 94-104 | Use of Trisodium Phosphate on Raw, Chilled Poultry Carcasses | Proposed Rule | FSIS is proposing to amend the poultry products inspection regulations to permit the application of trisodium phosphate (TSP) on raw, chilled poultry carcasses passed for wholesomeness. TSP would be permitted as an antimicrobial agent on such poultry carcasses at a level of 8 to 12 percent. The TSP treatment solution would be maintained at a temperature of 45 deg. F. to 55 deg. F. and applied by spraying or dipping carcasses for up to 15 seconds. Tests conducted by industry have shown that the use of TSP at a level of 8 to 12 percent reduces microbial populations on raw, chilled poultry surfaces. This proposed rule is in response to a petition filed by Rhone-Poulenc, Inc., Cranbury, New Jersey. | 1994-01-05 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/05/94-104/use-of-trisodium-phosphate-on-raw-chilled-poultry-carcasses | Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service | 12,201 | FSIS is proposing to amend the poultry products inspection regulations to permit the application of trisodium phosphate (TSP) on raw, chilled poultry carcasses passed for wholesomeness.

| 94-105 | Sodium Citrate as a Tripe Denuding Agent | Proposed Rule | The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations to permit the use of sodium citrate in solution to denude beef stomachs of mucous membranes. In 1990, a manufacturer of processing aids and other direct food ingredients petitioned the Food and Drug Administration and FSIS to approve the use of several compounds, including sodium citrate, for use in denuding tripe. FSIS has reviewed the data and other information submitted by the petitioner and has determined that the proposed use of sodium citrate would not result in product adulteration or misbranding. The proposed regulation would make available to meat processors an additional, alternative tripe-denuding formulation that would contain sodium citrate as an ingredient. The sodium citrate solution would be as effective as existing tripe-denuding agents, but would be less objectionable to workers than the agents now in use. The sodium citrate-containing formulation would contribute to improved tripe production. | 1994-01-05 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/05/94-105/sodium-citrate-as-a-tripe-denuding-agent | Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service | 12,201 | The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations to permit the use of sodium citrate in solution to denude beef stomachs of mucous membranes.

| 94-140 | Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. Model 205A, 205A-1, 205B, 212, and 412 Series Helicopters | Proposed Rule | This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. Model 205A, 205A-1, 205B, 212, and 412 series helicopters. This proposal would require removal and replacement of a certain design main transmission lower planetary spider (spider) and would establish a 2,500 hours' time-in-service retirement life for the spider. This proposal is prompted by five failures of the spider that occurred during the manufacturer's fatigue tests. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent fatigue failure of the spider, failure of the main transmission, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. | 1994-01-05 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/05/94-140/airworthiness-directives-bell-helicopter-textron-inc-model-205a-205a-1-205b-212-and-412-series | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc.

| 94-143 | Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. Model 214B, 214B-1, and 214ST Helicopters | Proposed Rule | This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. Model 214B, 214B-1, and 214ST helicopters. This proposal would establish a mandatory retirement life of 60,000 high-power events for the main rotor trunnion (trunnion), which is currently not a life- limited part. This proposal is prompted by the manufacturer's analysis and retesting that has shown that the trunnion is sensitive to high- power events. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent fatigue failure of the trunnion, that could result in loss of the main rotor and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. | 1994-01-05 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/05/94-143/airworthiness-directives-bell-helicopter-textron-inc-model-214b-214b-1-and-214st-helicopters | Transportation Department | 492 | This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc.

| 94-30 | Vanity Call Sign System | Proposed Rule | This action proposes to authorize the use of vanity call signs in the amateur service. The proposed rules are necessary so that amateur operators can request specific call signs with letters that signify something of importance to them such as their initials or their nicknames. This proposal would give better service to members of the amateur community because it would allow them to choose their own calls signs provided the call sign chosen is unassigned and within the framework of the license class held. | 1994-01-05 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/05/94-30/vanity-call-sign-system | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | This action proposes to authorize the use of vanity call signs in the amateur service.

| 94-22 | Airworthiness Directives; de Havilland, Inc., Model DHC-7 Series Airplanes | Proposed Rule | This document revises an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain de Havilland Model DHC-7 series airplanes, that would have required a one-time inspection to assess the adequacy of the clearance between various adapter plates and seal retaining angles on the fuselage side access panel, and modification, if necessary. That proposal was prompted by reports of incidents involving corrosion and fatigue cracking in commuter-class airplanes that are approaching or have exceeded their economic design goal. This action revises the proposed rule by requiring modification of both the forward and rear seal retention angles, regardless of whether damage is found. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to prevent degradation of the structural capabilities of the affected airplanes. | 1994-01-04 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/04/94-22/airworthiness-directives-de-havilland-inc-model-dhc-7-series-airplanes | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This document revises an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain de Havilland Model DHC-7 series airplanes, that would have required a one-time inspection to assess the adequacy of the clearance between various adapter... | |
| 94-23 | Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747 Series Airplanes | Proposed Rule | This document proposes the supersedure of an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 747 series airplanes, that currently requires that the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program include inspections which will give no less than the required damage tolerance rating (DTR) for each Structural Significant Item (SSI). This action would require the inclusion of additional airplanes to the candidate fleet. This proposal is prompted by a recommendation from the Airworthiness Assurance Task Force, Model 747 Structures Working Group. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to ensure the continued structural integrity of the total Boeing Model 747 fleet. | 1994-01-04 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/04/94-23/airworthiness-directives-boeing-model-747-series-airplanes | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This document proposes the supersedure of an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 747 series airplanes, that currently requires that the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program include inspections which will... | |

| 94-56 | Milk in the Chicago Regional and Other Marketing Areas; Notice of Hearing on Proposed Amendments to Tentative Marketing Agreements and Orders | Proposed Rule | This hearing is being held to consider proposals to amend five Federal milk marketing orders. The proposals would establish a multiple component pricing plan for pricing producer milk under the orders. Producer milk utilized in Class II and Class III would be priced to handlers on the basis of three components. The components priced would be butterfat, protein and solids-not-fat other than protein. Under some of the proposals, producer prices or protein prices would be adjusted for quality attributes of milk, such as somatic cell content. The hearing was requested by a dairy trade association and several cooperative associations that represent a substantial number of dairy farmers who supply these markets. A number of other dairy cooperative associations and dairy organizations submitted proposals to be considered at the hearing. The proponents maintain that the proposed payment plans would give producers a direct economic incentive to produce the components valued by the marketplace. | 1994-01-04 | 1994 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/01/04/94-56/milk-in-the-chicago-regional-and-other-marketing-areas-notice-of-hearing-on-proposed-amendments-to | Agriculture Department; Agricultural Marketing Service | 12,9 | This hearing is being held to consider proposals to amend five Federal milk marketing orders.
