| 95-30972 | Management Official Interlocks | Proposed Rule | The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (collectively, the agencies) propose to revise their rules regarding management interlocks. The proposal conforms the interlocks rules to recent statutory changes, modernizes and clarifies the rules, and reduces unnecessary regulatory burdens where feasible, consistent with statutory requirements. | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-30972/management-official-interlocks | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-30972.pdf | Treasury Department; Comptroller of the Currency; Federal Reserve System; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; Thrift Supervision Office | 497,80,188,164,489 | The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (collectively, the agencies) propose to revise their... |
| 95-31376 | Conformance of Uniform State Waterways Marking System and Western Rivers Marking System with the United States Aids to Navigation System and the Maritime Buoyage System of the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities | Proposed Rule | The Coast Guard is considering changes that would bring the Uniform State Waterways Marking System (USWMS) and the Western Rivers Marking System (WRMS) more into conformance with the U.S. Aids to Navigation System (USATONS) and the Maritime Buoyage System (MBS) of the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA). These changes would help mariners avoid misinterpreting signals they might see when transiting different bodies of water now subject to different marking systems. | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31376/conformance-of-uniform-state-waterways-marking-system-and-western-rivers-marking-system-with-the | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31376.pdf | Transportation Department; Coast Guard | 492,53 | The Coast Guard is considering changes that would bring the Uniform State Waterways Marking System (USWMS) and the Western Rivers Marking System (WRMS) more into conformance with the U.S. Aids to Navigation System (USATONS) and the Maritime Buoyage... |
| 95-31390 | Substances Approved for Use in the Preparation of Meat and Poultry Products | Proposed Rule | FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations to harmonize and improve the efficiency of the procedures used by FSIS and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for reviewing and approving the use of substances in meat and poultry products. Under the proposed procedures, FSIS would no longer issue its own regulations listing substances it finds suitable for use in meat and poultry products. Instead, by agreement between USDA and the FDA, future FDA regulations would specify whether a substance approved for use in foods under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) may be used in or on meat or poultry products. Current FDA regulations that approve the use of substances in foods generally and do not preclude meat and poultry uses will confer authority to use such substances in meat and poultry products unless expressly prohibited by USDA regulation. Requests for meat and poultry uses of substances not permitted under title 9 or title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) would have to be made to FDA in the form of a petition for FDA approval. FDA is simultaneously publishing in this issue of the Federal Register a proposal that would amend the FDA regulations governing the review of petitions for the approval of food additives to provide for simultaneous review of such petitions by FSIS when meat or poultry product uses are indicated. This would permit FDA listings to specify whether, and if so under what conditions, such substances may be used in USDA-inspected meat and poultry products. Such listings would eliminate the need for separate FSIS rulemaking. FSIS would limit any future, substance-specific rulemaking to prohibitions or limitations on meat or poultry uses of specific substances that may be necessary to protect the public under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) or Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA). FSIS would continue to provide evaluations upon request as to whether substances permitted for general use under current regulations are suitable for s… | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31390/substances-approved-for-use-in-the-preparation-of-meat-and-poultry-products | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31390.pdf | Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service | 12,201 | FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations to harmonize and improve the efficiency of the procedures used by FSIS and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for reviewing and approving the use of substances in meat... |
| 95-31391 | Food Standards: Requirements for Processed Meat and Poultry Products Named by Use of an Expressed Nutrient Content Claim and a Standardized Term | Proposed Rule | The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to establish a general definition and standard of identity for standardized meat food and poultry food products that have been modified to qualify for use of an expressed nutrient content claim in their product name. These products would be identified by an expressed nutrient content claim, such as ``Fat Free,'' ``Low Fat,'' and ``Light,'' in conjunction with an appropriate standardized product name. FSIS is taking this action to: (1) Assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices by providing for substitute versions of standardized processed meat food and poultry food products that have reductions of certain constituents that are of health concern to consumers, such as fat and cholesterol, (2) increase regulatory flexibility and support product innovation in accord with Executive Orders 12861 and 12866 and with President Clinton's Memorandum to Heads of Departments and Agencies, ``Regulatory Reinvention Initiative,'' dated March 4, 1995, and (3) provide consumers with an informative nutrition labeling system. | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31391/food-standards-requirements-for-processed-meat-and-poultry-products-named-by-use-of-an-expressed | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31391.pdf | Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service | 12,201 | The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to establish a general definition and standard of identity for standardized meat food and poultry food products that have... |
| 95-31393 | FSIS Agenda for Change: Regulatory Review | Proposed Rule | The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has begun a comprehensive review of its regulatory procedures and requirements to determine which are still needed and which ought to be modified, streamlined, or eliminated. This review is an integral part of the FSIS initiative to improve the safety of meat and poultry products by modernizing the Agency's system of food safety regulation. It also moves beyond the page-by-page review of FSIS regulations carried out earlier this year under the President's Reinvention of Government Initiative. A thorough review of FSIS's regulations is needed to prepare for implementation of the Agency's proposed Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) regulations and a new food safety strategy that will reduce reliance on command-and-control regulations and increase reliance on science-based preventive measures and performance standards to improve food safety. This review and any changes in FSIS regulations that are necessary to make them compatible with HACCP will be completed prior to implementation of HACCP. FSIS invites comment from the public and all interested parties on the Agency's preliminary review of its regulations and specific suggestions on which regulations need to be eliminated or changed to be compatible with HACCP, and how they should be changed, or to achieve Reinvention of Government goals of having fewer, clearer, and more user-friendly regulations. Some of the rulemakings needed to streamline existing requirements and carry out the FSIS food safety strategy are being initiated or effectuated in documents that appear elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register: A proposed rule that would eliminate the FSIS prior approval system for substances added to meat and poultry products; a proposed rule that would facilitate marketing of nutritionally improved alternatives to standardized meat and poultry food products; and a final rule streamlining the prior approval system for meat and poultry labels. As FSIS progresses in its comprehensive regulatory revi… | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31393/fsis-agenda-for-change-regulatory-review | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31393.pdf | Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service | 12,201 | The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has begun a comprehensive review of its regulatory procedures and requirements to determine which are still needed and which ought to be modified, streamlined, or eliminated.

The document proposed to classify certain unclassified preamendments pedicle screw spinal systems into class II (special controls), and to reclassify certain postamendments pedicle screw spinal systems from class III (premarket approval) to class II. FDA is taking this action in response to several requests for an extension to assure adequate time for preparation of comments. | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31460/orthopedic-devices-classification-reclassification-and-codification-of-pedicle-screw-spinal-systems | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31460.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is extending to March 4, 1996, the comment period for the proposed rule that published in the Federal Register of October 4, 1995 (60 FR 51946).

| 95-31490 | Proposed Airspace and Flight Operations Requirements for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, Atlanta, GA | Proposed Rule | This document proposes a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR), applicable for the period July 5 through August 11, 1996, to establish temporary flight restricted (TFR) areas overlying the various competition venues for the XXVI Olympic Games. This action also proposes to require slot reservations for arrivals and departures at specified airports in the vicinity of the Olympic Games. The FAA believes this action is necessary for the security of the venues, safe operation and management of aircraft operating to, within, and from these areas, and to prevent any unsafe congestion of sightseeing and other aircraft over the various game sites. | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31490/proposed-airspace-and-flight-operations-requirements-for-the-1996-summer-olympic-games-atlanta-ga | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31490.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This document proposes a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR), applicable for the period July 5 through August 11, 1996, to establish temporary flight restricted (TFR) areas overlying the various competition venues for the XXVI Olympic Games.... |
| 95-31491 | Substances Approved for Use in the Preparation of Meat and Poultry Products | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations governing the review of petitions for the approval of food and color additives and substances generally recognized as safe (GRAS) to provide for joint review of such petitions by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), when meat or poultry product uses are proposed. By agreement between USDA and FDA, such listings would eliminate the need for a separate FSIS rulemaking to allow the use in meat and poultry products of FDA- approved substances. | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31491/substances-approved-for-use-in-the-preparation-of-meat-and-poultry-products | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31491.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations governing the review of petitions for the approval of food and color additives and substances generally recognized as safe (GRAS) to provide for joint review of such petitions... |
| 95-31492 | Food Standards of Identity, Quality and Fill of Container; Common or Usual Name Regulations; Request for Comments on Existing Regulations | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that it intends to review its regulations pertaining to identity, quality, and fill of container for standardized foods and its common or usual name regulations for nonstandardized foods. As part of this review, the agency is soliciting comments from all interested parties on whether these regulations should be retained, revised, or revoked. FDA solicits comments on the benefits or lack of benefits of such regulations in facilitating domestic, as well as international, commerce and on the value of these regulations to consumers. The agency also solicits comments on alternative means of accomplishing the statutory objective of food standards, i.e., to promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers in the manufacture and sale of food products covered by these regulations. This review responds in part to President Clinton's memorandum to heads of departments and agencies, entitled ``Regulatory Reinvention Initiative,'' dated March 4, 1995. | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31492/food-standards-of-identity-quality-and-fill-of-container-common-or-usual-name-regulations-request | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31492.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that it intends to review its regulations pertaining to identity, quality, and fill of container for standardized foods and its common or usual name regulations for nonstandardized foods.

| 95-31511 | Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard; Steering Control Rearward Displacement | Proposed Rule | On November 16, 1995, (60 FR 57565) the agency published a proposal to exclude certain vehicles from the application of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 204, Steering Control Rearward Displacement. The excluded vehicles would be passenger cars and other light vehicles that are certified to comply with the frontal barrier crash test requirements of the agency's occupant crash protection standard by means of an airbag. A 60-day comment period was announced for that proposal. Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety requested an extension of the period to submit written comments. Advocates urged the agency to extend the time to comment, due to significant demands on their staff, responding to other NHTSA dockets and participation in NHTSA Negotiated Rulemaking meetings in January. The agency agrees that the unusual coincidence of numerous agency activities of interest to Advocates may result in inadequate time to respond to this notice. Additionally the agency recognizes the limited resources available to commenters during this holiday season. Therefore, by this notice, the agency extends the comment period for another 30 days. | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31511/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standard-steering-control-rearward-displacement | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31511.pdf | Transportation Department; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration | 492,345 | On November 16, 1995, (60 FR 57565) the agency published a proposal to exclude certain vehicles from the application of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 204, Steering Control Rearward Displacement.

| 95-31021 | Community Development Corporation and Project Investments and Other Public Welfare Investments | Proposed Rule | The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is proposing to revise its regulation governing national bank investments designed primarily to promote the public welfare. The revisions clarify banks' authority under this part; renumber and reorganize the regulation; provide the OCC greater flexibility for determining whether investments primarily promote the public welfare; and simplify the regulation's investment self-certification and prior approval processes. The proposed revisions reduce regulatory burden and inconsistencies while enhancing the ability of national banks to make public welfare investments. | 1995-12-28 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/28/95-31021/community-development-corporation-and-project-investments-and-other-public-welfare-investments | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-28/pdf/95-31021.pdf | Treasury Department; Comptroller of the Currency | 497,80 | The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is proposing to revise its regulation governing national bank investments designed primarily to promote the public welfare.

| 95-31193 | Food Labeling; Requirements for Nutrient Content Claims, Health Claims, and Statements of Nutritional Support for Dietary Supplements | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its nutrient content claims regulations to change the terminology used to describe dietary supplements; provide for the use of statements that characterize the percentage level of dietary ingredients that do not have Reference Daily Intakes (RDI's) or Daily Reference Values (DRV's); and withdraw the provision that dietary supplements of vitamins and minerals may not give prominence to any ingredient that is not a vitamin or a mineral on its label or in labeling. The agency is also proposing to specify how (i.e., text, placement, and type size) the disclaimer required by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) is to be presented with statements of nutritional support. Additionally, FDA is proposing to remove the definition of ``dietary supplements'' and to change the terminology used to describe dietary supplements in regulations governing health claims for food products. This action is being taken to implement in part the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (the DSHEA). | 1995-12-28 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/28/95-31193/food-labeling-requirements-for-nutrient-content-claims-health-claims-and-statements-of-nutritional | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-28/pdf/95-31193.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its nutrient content claims regulations to change the terminology used to describe dietary supplements; provide for the use of statements that characterize the percentage level of dietary... |
| 95-31194 | Food Labeling; Nutrient Content Claims: Definition for ``High Potency'' Claim for Dietary Supplements and Definition of ``Antioxidant'' for Use in Nutrient Content Claims for Dietary Supplements and Conventional Foods | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations to define the term ``high potency'' as a nutrient content claim for dietary supplements; define the term ``antioxidant'' for use in nutrient content claims on labels or in labeling of dietary supplements and conventional foods; and correct an omission pertaining to the use of ``sugar free'' claims on dietary supplements. FDA is taking these actions to provide for the use of additional nutrient content claims in response to provisions of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990. This proposed rule will benefit consumers by providing established definitions for use in food labeling for the terms ``high potency,'' ``antioxidant,'' and ``sugar free.'' | 1995-12-28 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/28/95-31194/food-labeling-nutrient-content-claims-definition-for-high-potency-claim-for-dietary-supplements-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-28/pdf/95-31194.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations to define the term ``high potency'' as a nutrient content claim for dietary supplements; define the term ``antioxidant'' for use in nutrient content claims on labels or in... |
| 95-31196 | Food Labeling; Statement of Identity, Nutrition Labeling and Ingredient Labeling of Dietary Supplements | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its food labeling regulations to require that dietary supplements be identified with the statement of identity ``Dietary Supplement'' on the principal display panel of the label and modify the nutrition labeling and ingredient labeling requirements for these foods. FDA is proposing these actions in response to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (the DSHEA). FDA is also responding to a citizen petition on type size requirements for these products. | 1995-12-28 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/28/95-31196/food-labeling-statement-of-identity-nutrition-labeling-and-ingredient-labeling-of-dietary | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-28/pdf/95-31196.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its food labeling regulations to require that dietary supplements be identified with the statement of identity ``Dietary Supplement'' on the principal display panel of the label and modify... |
| 95-31311 | Recovery of Overpayments | Proposed Rule | The Railroad Retirement Board (Board) revises part 255 of its regulations, currently entitled ``Recovery of Erroneous Payments'', to clarify and update its regulations with respect to recovery of overpayments. The revisions more clearly identify the individuals from whom recovery may be sought and under what circumstances recovery of an overpayment of benefits will be made. The revisions also cover the circumstances under which such recovery may be waived, and the circumstances under which such recovery may be terminated or suspended under the Board's authority concerning administrative relief from recovery. | 1995-12-28 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/28/95-31311/recovery-of-overpayments | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-28/pdf/95-31311.pdf | Railroad Retirement Board | 444 | The Railroad Retirement Board (Board) revises part 255 of its regulations, currently entitled ``Recovery of Erroneous Payments'', to clarify and update its regulations with respect to recovery of overpayments.

| 95-31335 | Federal Acquisition Regulation; Contracting by Negotiations; FAR Part 15 Rewrite | Proposed Rule | Comments are solicited from both government and industry personnel on how FAR Part 15 can be rewritten to better support contracting by negotiation. The Director of Defense Procurement, in concert with the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, is sponsoring an initiative to rewrite Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. The goal is to make Part 15 easier to understand and to eliminate policies, procedures, or requirements that impose unnecessary burdens on contractors or contracting officers. Regulatory requirements that are not required by statute, required to ensure adequately standardized government business practices, or required to protect the public interest will be considered for elimination. Innovative means of simplifying the procurement process and enhancing its efficiency will be considered for incorporation into the regulation. | 1995-12-28 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/28/95-31335/federal-acquisition-regulation-contracting-by-negotiations-far-part-15-rewrite | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-28/pdf/95-31335.pdf | Defense Department; General Services Administration; National Aeronautics and Space Administration | 103,210,301 | Comments are solicited from both government and industry personnel on how FAR Part 15 can be rewritten to better support contracting by negotiation.

| 95-31364 | International Banking Operations | Proposed Rule | The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is proposing to amend its Regulation K regarding interstate banking operations of foreign banking organizations. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (Interstate Act) removed geographic restrictions on interstate banking by foreign banks effective September 29, 1995, and requires certain foreign banks without U.S. deposit-taking offices to select a home state for the first time. The proposed amendments to Regulation K would require these foreign banks to select a home state by March 31, 1996, and would immediately remove outdated restrictions on certain mergers by U.S. bank subsidiaries of foreign banks outside the home state of the foreign bank. Obsolete and superseded provisions of Regulation K concerning home state selection would be deleted. The Board is also requesting comment on other aspects of the Interstate Act as it applies to foreign banks. | 1995-12-28 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/28/95-31364/international-banking-operations | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-28/pdf/95-31364.pdf | Federal Reserve System | 188 | The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is proposing to amend its Regulation K regarding interstate banking operations of foreign banking organizations.

| 95-31371 | Structural Measures To Reduce Oil Spills From Existing Tank Vessels Without Double Hulls | Proposed Rule | The Coast Guard solicits comments on structural measures for certain existing tank vessels of 5,000 gross tons (GT) or more that do not have double hulls. This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) responds to comments received on the notice of proposed rulemaking, presents a summary of a regulatory assessment for various structural measures, notifies the public of the availability of this assessment, and solicits comments on the economic feasibility of the measures. This SNPRM represents the third step in the Coast Guard's three-step effort to establish structural and operational measures, that are economically and technologically feasible for reducing the threat of oil spills from tank vessels without double hulls, as required by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90). It analyzes a number of measures and describes the results of extensive cost and benefit research on those measures deemed technologically feasible. No regulatory text is introduced in this SNPRM; however, comments received on this SNPRM will enable the Coast Guard to assess the economic feasibility for structural measures. | 1995-12-28 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/28/95-31371/structural-measures-to-reduce-oil-spills-from-existing-tank-vessels-without-double-hulls | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-28/pdf/95-31371.pdf | Transportation Department; Coast Guard | 492,53 | The Coast Guard solicits comments on structural measures for certain existing tank vessels of 5,000 gross tons (GT) or more that do not have double hulls.

The proposal would have found that an institution's liability on certain obligations issued by the institution as a means of obtaining funds constitutes a deposit liability.

| 95-31294 | Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment | Proposed Rule | This document grants three requests to extend the comment period on an agency proposal to amend the geometric visibility requirements of signal lamps and the rear side marker color, both contained Standard No. 108, Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment. The goal of the proposed amendment is to assist international efforts to harmonize the lighting requirements of continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States. A lengthy extension of the comment period is desirable because a large number of governmental and industry parties require time to achieve internal consensus on the usefulness of the NHTSA proposal.

| 95-31035 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Maine; NOINFX Exemption Request for Northern Maine and NOINFX Control Approval | Proposed Rule | The EPA is approving, through direct final rulemaking procedures, a limited exemption request from the requirements contained in Section 182(f) of the Clean Air Act (Act) for the Northern Maine area (specifically, Oxford, Franklin, Somerset, Piscataquis, Penobscot, Washington, Aroostook, Hancock and Waldo Counties). These 9 counties, as with the rest of the State of Maine, are part of the Ozone Transport Region (OTR) as provided for in section 184(a) of the Clean Air Act. Section 182(f) in combination with section 184 (relating to ozone transport regions) of the Act requires States in the OTR, such as Maine, to adopt reasonably available control technology (RACT) rules for major stationary sources of nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X) and to provide for nonattainment area new source review (NSR) for new sources and modifications that are major for NO<INF>X. This exemption request, submitted by the State of Maine on September 7, 1995, is based on a demonstration that NO<INF>X emissions in this 9 county area are not impacting Maine's moderate nonattainment areas or other nonattainment areas in the Ozone Transport Region (OTR) during times when elevated ozone levels are monitored in those areas. As such, additional reductions in NO<INF>X emissions from these 9 counties beyond what the State regulations would provide for are not necessary for attainment in these areas, and, because they do not contribute to the ozone problem anywhere in the OTR, are also not necessary for purposes of showing future attainment for any other area in the OTR. Thus, as provided for in section 182(f)(2), additional NO<INF>X reductions in these areas would constitute excess reductions that can be waived under the Clean Air Act. Maine has requested that EPA combine its approval of this NO<INF>X exemption with its approval of NO<INF>X controls for existing sources in Northern Maine that were submitted to EPA on August 5, 1994 for purposes of meeting the Act's NO<INF>X RACT requirements. Consequently, this action approves a full exemption from nonatt… | 1995-12-26 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/26/95-31035/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-maine-noinfx-exemption-request-for-northern-maine | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-26/pdf/95-31035.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The EPA is approving, through direct final rulemaking procedures, a limited exemption request from the requirements contained in Section 182(f) of the Clean Air Act (Act) for the Northern Maine area (specifically, Oxford, Franklin, Somerset,... |
| 95-31037 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee: Revisions to Knox County Regulations for Appeals, Violations, Monitoring, Recording, and Reporting | Proposed Rule | The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Tennessee for the purpose of incorporating changes to regulations for appeals, judicial review, violations, and monitoring, recording and reporting in the Knox County portion of the Tennessee SIP. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time. | 1995-12-26 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/26/95-31037/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-tennessee-revisions-to-knox-county-regulations-for | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-26/pdf/95-31037.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Tennessee for the purpose of incorporating changes to regulations for appeals, judicial review, violations, and monitoring, recording and reporting in... |

| 95-31215 | Regattas and Marine Parades | Proposed Rule | The Coast Guard is withdrawing its rulemaking to increase the time requirement for submitting permit applications to the Coast Guard for approval prior to the start of a regatta or marine parade event. Since the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was published for this rulemaking, the Coast Guard has participated in the National Performance Review and has determined that a broader regulatory examination of the entire Regatta and marine Parade Permit process, including the issue of appropriate permit application submission times, was needed. Therefore, this single issue rulemaking project is being withdrawn and the permit application submission time issue will be included in the broader overall review and revision of the regatta and marine parade permit process regulations. | 1995-12-26 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/26/95-31215/regattas-and-marine-parades | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-26/pdf/95-31215.pdf | Transportation Department; Coast Guard | 492,53 | The Coast Guard is withdrawing its rulemaking to increase the time requirement for submitting permit applications to the Coast Guard for approval prior to the start of a regatta or marine parade event.

| 95-31216 | Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Chehalis River, WA | Proposed Rule | At the request of the Washington Department of Transportation, the Coast Guard is considering an amendment to the regulations governing the operation of the Union Pacific railroad drawbridge and the U.S. Route 101 bridge over the Chehalis River at Aberdeen, Washington. The proposed rule would remove the portion of the existing regulations pertaining to the Union Pacific railroad drawbridge because that bridge is no longer in operation and will be removed. The proposed rule would also require one hour notice at all times for opening the drawspan of the U.S. Route 101 bridge for the passage of vessels. Finally, the proposed rule would change the special sound signal for requesting openings of the U.S. Route 101 bridge to the standard signal of one prolonged blast followed by one short blast. | 1995-12-26 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/26/95-31216/drawbridge-operation-regulations-chehalis-river-wa | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-26/pdf/95-31216.pdf | Transportation Department | 492 | At the request of the Washington Department of Transportation, the Coast Guard is considering an amendment to the regulations governing the operation of the Union Pacific railroad drawbridge and the U.S. Route 101 bridge over the Chehalis River at... |

The amendments would accommodate developments in the securities markets by adding certain yield-related confirmation disclosure requirements for transactions involving debt and asset-backed securities effected by State member banks for customers, and providing for three day settlement of those transactions. The proposed amendments also would clarify that State member banks that effect de minimis government securities brokerage transactions and are exempt from registration under Department of the Treasury regulations, also are exempt from Regulation H.

| 95-31245 | Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9 and DC-9- 80 Series Airplanes, and Model MD-88 Airplanes | Proposed Rule | This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all McDonnell Douglas DC-9 and DC- 9-80 series airplanes, and Model MD-88 airplanes. Among other things, this proposal would require repetitive leak checks of the lavatory drain system and repair, if necessary; would provide for the option of revising the FAA-approved maintenance program to include a schedule of leak checks; would require the installation of a cap on the flush/fill line; and would require replacement or modification of the vent system piping. This proposal is prompted by continuing reports of damage to engines and airframes, separation of engines from airplanes, and damage to property on the ground, caused by ``blue ice'' that forms from leaking lavatory drain systems on transport category airplanes and subsequently dislodges from the airplane fuselage. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to prevent such damage associated with the problems of ``blue ice.'' | 1995-12-26 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/26/95-31245/airworthiness-directives-mcdonnell-douglas-model-dc-9-and-dc-9--80-series-airplanes-and-model-md-88 | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-26/pdf/95-31245.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all McDonnell Douglas DC-9 and DC- 9-80 series airplanes, and Model MD-88 airplanes.

| 95-31154 | Protection of Human Subjects; Informed Consent | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its current informed consent regulations to require that the written consent form signed by the subject or the subject's legally authorized representative, be dated by the subject or the subject's legally authorized representative at the time consent is given. FDA is proposing this requirement because the agency has had problems on occasion verifying that informed consent was obtained from a research subject prior to participation in a study because the consent document was not dated. The agency believes that by explicitly requiring that the consent form be dated at the time it is signed, the agency will be able to help ensure that informed consent was, in fact, obtained prior to entry into the study as required by FDA regulations. FDA is also proposing to amend its regulation on case histories to clarify what adequate case histories include.

| 95-31169 | The Malibu-Newton Canyon Viticultural Area (95R-014P) | Proposed Rule | The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) has received a petition proposing the establishment of a viticultural area in the State of California to be known as ``Malibu-Newton Canyon.'' This proposal is the result of a petition submitted by Mr. George Rosenthal, President of Rancho Escondido, Inc. ATF believes that the establishment of viticultural area names as appellations of origin in wine labeling and advertising allows wineries to designate the specific areas where the grapes used to make the wine were grown and enables consumers to better identify the wines they purchase. | 1995-12-22 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/22/95-31169/the-malibu-newton-canyon-viticultural-area-95r-014p | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-22/pdf/95-31169.pdf | Treasury Department; Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Bureau | 497,19 | The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) has received a petition proposing the establishment of a viticultural area in the State of California to be known as ``Malibu-Newton Canyon.''

| 95-31189 | Airworthiness Directives; Beech (Raytheon) Model BAe 125-800A and Hawker 800 Series Airplanes | Proposed Rule | This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Beech (Raytheon) Model BAe 125-800A and Hawker 800 series airplanes. This proposal would require a detailed visual inspection of the fuel feed hose assemblies of the auxiliary power unit (APU) to detect overheating, degradation, proper routing, and adequate clearance; and the correction of any discrepancies found. This proposal is prompted by reports of heat damage to the fuel feed hose assembly of the APU due to contact between the hose assembly and hot surfaces. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent such heat damage, which could lead to a possible fire/smoke hazard when failure of the hose assembly occurs and subsequent fuel mist or spray is emitted into the rear equipment bay. | 1995-12-22 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/22/95-31189/airworthiness-directives-beech-raytheon-model-bae-125-800a-and-hawker-800-series-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-22/pdf/95-31189.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Beech (Raytheon) Model BAe 125-800A and Hawker 800 series airplanes.

| 95-31202 | Proposed Establishment of Class D and E Airspace Areas; Saipan Island, CQ | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule would establish Class D and E airspace areas at Saipan Island, CQ. The Class D airspace area would be established because an airport traffic control tower (ATCT) at Saipan International Airport, Saipan Island, CQ, has been commissioned. The FAA is proposing to establish the Class E airspace area to provide adequate controlled airspace for aircraft executing instrument approach operations at Saipan International Airport. | 1995-12-22 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/22/95-31202/proposed-establishment-of-class-d-and-e-airspace-areas-saipan-island-cq | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-22/pdf/95-31202.pdf | Transportation Department | 492 | This proposed rule would establish Class D and E airspace areas at Saipan Island, CQ.

| 95-29458 | Hazardous Waste Management System: Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste: Hazardous Waste Identification Rule (HWIR) | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today is proposing to amend its regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by establishing constituent-specific exit levels for low- risk solid wastes that are designated as hazardous because they are listed, or have been mixed with, derived from, or contain listed hazardous wastes. Under this proposal, generators of listed hazardous wastes that meet the self-implementing exit levels would no longer be subject to the hazardous waste management system under Subtitle C of RCRA as listed hazardous wastes. Today's Notice, commonly referred to as the Hazardous Waste Identification Rule (HWIR), establishes a risk- based ``floor'' to hazardous waste listings that will encourage pollution prevention, waste minimization, and the development of innovative waste treatment technologies. Many of the exit levels are established using an innovative risk assessment which evaluates potential exposure pathways, both direct and indirect, from a variety of sources, such as waste piles and surface impoundments. This assessment focuses on both human and environmental receptors and is presented for comment in today's Notice. The remaining exit levels are based on an alternative risk analysis. The Agency is also proposing to modify some of the land disposal restriction (LDR) numerical treatment standards listed in subpart D of 40 CFR part 268. This notice proposes to cap technology-based treatment standards with the risk-based exit levels which minimize threats to human health and the environment. This notice also takes comment on several general approaches and one specific approach for conditional exemptions from subtitle C management. Today's notice also contains the Agency's tentative response to a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Chemical Manufacturers Association and the Agency's tentative response to the recommendations made by the Dialogue Committee on Hazardous Waste Identification. This committee was formally chartered in July 1993 in accordance with the… | 1995-12-21 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/21/95-29458/hazardous-waste-management-system-identification-and-listing-of-hazardous-waste-hazardous-waste | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-21/pdf/95-29458.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today is proposing to amend its regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by establishing constituent-specific exit levels for low- risk solid wastes that are designated as hazardous... |

| 95-30994 | Truth in Lending | Proposed Rule | The Board is soliciting comment on how the finance charge could more accurately reflect the cost of consumer credit. In particular, the Board is asking for the public's views on the feasibility of treating as finance charges all costs imposed by the creditor or payable by the consumer as an incident to the extension of credit. The Truth in Lending Act Amendments of 1995 direct the Board to submit a report to the Congress regarding these issues. Under present law, costs such as interest are part of the finance charge; other costs, including many associated with real estate-secured lending, are excluded from the finance charge. The Board is also required to address in its report abusive refinancing practices engaged in by creditors for the purpose of avoiding a consumer's rescission rights. | 1995-12-21 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/21/95-30994/truth-in-lending | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-21/pdf/95-30994.pdf | Federal Reserve System | 188 | The Board is soliciting comment on how the finance charge could more accurately reflect the cost of consumer credit.

| 95-31008 | Food Labeling: Nutrient Content Claims, General Principles; Health Claims, General Requirements and Other Specific Requirements for Individual Health Claims | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations on nutrient content claims and health claims to provide additional flexibility in the use of these claims on food products. These changes are intended to benefit public health by encouraging manufacturers to use health claims and nutrient content claims that will assist consumers in maintaining a healthy diet. The agency's current regulations were issued in January of 1993 to implement the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990. This document proposes refinements to those regulations to allow additional synonyms for nutrient content claims without specific preclearance by the agency, permit health claims on certain foods that do not currently qualify because they do not contain 10 percent of certain required nutrients, permit the use of shortened versions of authorized health claims under certain circumstances, eliminate some of the required elements for health claims, and provide additional guidance for petitioners seeking exemption from the disqualification of some foods from bearing a health claim because they contain high levels of certain nutrients. FDA is proposing these amendments in response to petitions submitted by the National Food Processors Association (NFPA) and the American Bakers Association (ABA). | 1995-12-21 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/21/95-31008/food-labeling-nutrient-content-claims-general-principles-health-claims-general-requirements-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-21/pdf/95-31008.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations on nutrient content claims and health claims to provide additional flexibility in the use of these claims on food products.

| 95-31039 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; State of Georgia | Proposed Rule | The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Georgia for the adoption of the Clean Fuel Fleet program. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to that direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule.

| 95-30967 | Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Nacote Creek, New Jersey | Proposed Rule | At the request of the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), the Coast Guard is proposing to change the regulations governing operation of the Route 9 Bridge across Nacote Creek, mile 1.5, in Smithville, Atlantic County, New Jersey. This proposal would require the Route 9 Bridge to open on signal except during the period from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., when a two-hour advance notice for openings would be required. This change should help relieve the bridge owner of the burden of having a bridgetender constantly available at times when there are few or no quests for openings, while still proving for the needs of navigation. | 1995-12-20 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/20/95-30967/drawbridge-operation-regulations-nacote-creek-new-jersey | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-20/pdf/95-30967.pdf | Transportation Department; Coast Guard | 492,53 | At the request of the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), the Coast Guard is proposing to change the regulations governing operation of the Route 9 Bridge across Nacote Creek, mile 1.5, in Smithville, Atlantic County, New Jersey.

| 95-30985 | Proposed Removal of Federal 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 | In December 1994, under the authority of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated a rule establishing four sets of water quality criteria to protect the designated uses for the surface waters of the Sacramento River, San Joaquin River, and San Francisco Bay and Delta of the State of California (Bay/Delta). Subsequent to this promulgation, the State of California adopted water quality standards for the Bay/Delta and submitted them to EPA for approval. On September 26, 1995, the Regional Administrator for EPA Region IX approved the state water quality standards as protective of the designated uses for the relevant waterbodies. Currently, the State of California is in the process of implementing these state-adopted and EPA-approved water quality standards through a state water rights hearing process. Accordingly, EPA's promulgated water quality standards are no longer needed to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act. Therefore, EPA proposes to remove the rule. | 1995-12-20 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/20/95-30985/proposed-removal-of-federal-water-quality-standards-for-surface-waters-of-the-sacramento-river-san | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-20/pdf/95-30985.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | In December 1994, under the authority of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated a rule establishing four sets of water quality criteria to protect the designated uses for the surface waters of the Sacramento... |
| 95-30990 | Requirements for Approval of Flame-Resistant Conveyor Belts | Proposed Rule | In response to requests from the mining community for additional time in which to prepare comments, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is extending the period for public comment on its proposed rule addressing the requirements for approval of flame- resistant conveyor belts to be used in underground mines. | 1995-12-20 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/20/95-30990/requirements-for-approval-of-flame-resistant-conveyor-belts | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-20/pdf/95-30990.pdf | Labor Department; Mine Safety and Health Administration | 271,288 | In response to requests from the mining community for additional time in which to prepare comments, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is extending the period for public comment on its proposed rule addressing the requirements for... |
| 95-30256 | Standards of Performance for Municipal Waste Combustors | Proposed Rule | This action revises the ``Standards of Performance for Municipal Waste Combustors'' (subpart Ea). These amendments are being made to improve the clarity of subpart Ea and to make subpart Ea consistent with subparts Eb and Cb. Because the amendments clarify regulatory text and make subpart Ea consistent with subparts Eb and Cb, the Agency does not anticipate receiving adverse comments. Consequently the amendments are also being issued as a direct final rule in the final rules section of this Federal Register. If no significant adverse comments are received, no further action will be taken with respect to this proposal and the direct final rule will become final on the date provided in that action. | 1995-12-19 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/19/95-30256/standards-of-performance-for-municipal-waste-combustors | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-19/pdf/95-30256.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This action revises the ``Standards of Performance for Municipal Waste Combustors'' (subpart Ea).

| 95-30408 | Transportation of Hazardous Materials By Rail; Miscellaneous Amendments | Proposed Rule | RSPA is proposing to incorporate into the Department's Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) a number of changes to rail requirements based on rulemaking petitions from industry and RSPA initiatives. This action is necessary to update the regulations and to respond to petitions for rulemaking. The intended effect of these regulatory changes is to improve safety and reduce costs to offerors and transporters of hazardous materials. | 1995-12-19 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/19/95-30408/transportation-of-hazardous-materials-by-rail-miscellaneous-amendments | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-19/pdf/95-30408.pdf | Transportation Department; Research and Special Programs Administration | 492,451 | RSPA is proposing to incorporate into the Department's Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) a number of changes to rail requirements based on rulemaking petitions from industry and RSPA initiatives.

| 95-30558 | Denial of Petition for Rulemaking; Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards | Proposed Rule | This document denies a petition from Mr. Philip Sweeney to require audible exterior back-up warning signals on large motor vehicles such as school buses and city maintenance vehicles. After analyzing the petition and data on back-up accidents, NHTSA concludes that mandating audible backup warning signals may not be effective in minimizing collisions with pedestrians, especially young children. The Agency has research underway on other means to reduce such deaths and injuries. | 1995-12-19 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/19/95-30558/denial-of-petition-for-rulemaking-federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standards | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-19/pdf/95-30558.pdf | Transportation Department; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration | 492,345 | This document denies a petition from Mr. Philip Sweeney to require audible exterior back-up warning signals on large motor vehicles such as school buses and city maintenance vehicles.

| 95-30581 | Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System | Proposed Rule | The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), proposes to issue regulations for the officers and employees of the Board that supplement the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch issued by OGE. The proposed regulation is a necessary supplement to the Executive Branch-wide Standards because it addresses ethical issues unique to the Board. The regulation as proposed would establish rules relating to: financial interests and transactions; borrowing and extensions of credit; employment relationships of immediate family members; and outside employment. The Board is also proposing to replace its old employee conduct regulation with a residual cross-reference to the new provisions. | 1995-12-19 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/19/95-30581/supplemental-standards-of-ethical-conduct-for-employees-of-the-board-of-governors-of-the-federal | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-19/pdf/95-30581.pdf | Federal Reserve System | 188 | The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), proposes to issue regulations for the officers and employees of the Board that supplement the Standards of Ethical Conduct for... |
