97-33411	International Banking Operations; Rules Regarding Delegation of Authority	Proposed Rule	Consistent with section 303 of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (the Regulatory Improvement Act) and the International Banking Act of 1978 (the IBA), the Board has reviewed Regulation K, which governs international banking operations, and is proposing for comment a number of changes to Subparts A, B and C of Regulation K. Subpart A of Regulation K governs the foreign investments and activities of all member banks (national banks as well as state member banks), Edge and agreement corporations, and bank holding companies. The proposed amendments would streamline foreign branching procedures for U.S. banking organizations, authorize expanded activities in foreign branches of U.S. banks, and implement recent statutory changes authorizing a bank to invest up to 20 percent of capital in surplus in Edge corporations. Changes also are proposed to the provisions governing permissible foreign activities of U.S. banking organizations, including securities activities, and investments by U.S. banking organizations under the general consent procedures and portfolio investments authority. Subpart B of Regulation K (Foreign Banking Organizations) governs the U.S. activities of foreign banking organizations. The proposed amendments include revisions aimed at streamlining the applications procedures applicable to foreign banks seeking to expand operations in the United States, changes to provisions regarding the qualification of certain foreign banking organizations for exemption from the nonbanking prohibitions of the section 4 of the Bank Holding Company Act (the BHC Act), and implementation of provisions of the Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the Interstate Act) that affect foreign banks. In addition, there are proposed a number of technical and clarifying amendments for Subparts A and B, as well as Subpart C, which deals with export trading companies, and certain amendments to the Board's Rules Regarding Delegation of Authority.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-33411/international-banking-operations-rules-regarding-delegation-of-authority	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-33411.pdf	Federal Reserve System	188	Consistent with section 303 of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (the Regulatory Improvement Act) and the International Banking Act of 1978 (the IBA), the Board has reviewed Regulation K, which governs...

97-33844	Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC): WIC Cereal Sugar Limit and Food Package Review	Proposed Rule	The Department published a Federal Register Notice of Intent on March 18, 1996 soliciting public comments on whether the existing Federal 6-gram sugar limit for WIC-eligible adult cereals should be changed. The 90-day comment period ended on June 17, 1996. USDA received 731 letters from a total of 878 commenters, representing a wide range of interested parties. The majority--809 commenters-- expressed support for the continuation of the 6-gram sugar limit unchanged. In addition, several commenters suggested that USDA conduct a comprehensive review of the WIC food packages rather than focus on the single issue of the sugar content of WIC-eligible adult cereals. The purpose of this Notice of Intent is to summarize the public comments received in response to the earlier Notice of intent and to announce the Department's intent to review the WIC food packages and recommend refinements that would best serve WIC Program objectives. USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion will be spearheading this effort in conjunction with the Food and Consumer Service. Until this review is completed, the Department will not make any decisions about whether to propose a regulatory change in the Federal sugar cap for WIC-eligible adult cereals. Therefore, the current requirement that WIC-eligible adult cereals made available to women and child participants must contain no more than 21.2 grams of sucrose and other sugars per 100 grams of dry cereal (i.e., 6 grams of sugar per dry ounce of cereal) remains in effect.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-33844/special-supplemental-nutrition-program-for-women-infants-and-children-wic-wic-cereal-sugar-limit-and	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-33844.pdf	Agriculture Department; Food and Consumer Service	12,198	The Department published a Federal Register Notice of Intent on March 18, 1996 soliciting public comments on whether the existing Federal 6-gram sugar limit for WIC-eligible adult cereals should be changed.

97-33959	Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of PMINF10/INF Implementation Plan for Colorado; Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Steamboat Springs	Proposed Rule	EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Colorado to achieve attainment and maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM<INF>10</INF>), including among other things, control measures, technical analyses, quantitative milestones and contingency measures.

In addition, EPA proposes to approve the Steamboat Springs emergency episode plan. EPA also proposes to amend the boundary for the Steamboat Springs nonattainment area to clarify the original description. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for EPA's actions 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 and the direct final rule will become effective. 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. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-33959/clean-air-act-approval-and-promulgation-of-pminf10inf-implementation-plan-for-colorado-designation	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-33959.pdf	Environmental Protection Agency	145	EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Colorado to achieve attainment and maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or...

97-33973	Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Scallop Fishery Off Alaska; Change in Season Dates	Rule	NMFS changes the dates of the fishing season for Registration Area D (Yakutat), Registration Area E (Prince William Sound), and Registration Area H exclusive of the Kamishak District in the scallop fishery in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off Alaska. The new fishing season will begin on July 1 and end on February 15 of the following year. The intended effect of this action, which makes the Federal fishing season parallel to that of the State of Alaska scallop fishery, is to improve vessel safety and product quality, and to maintain consistency between Federal and State of Alaska fishing season regulations. This action is necessary to promote the conservation and management objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for the Scallop Fishery off Alaska (FMP).	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-33973/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-scallop-fishery-off-alaska-change-in-season	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-33973.pdf	Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration	54,361	NMFS changes the dates of the fishing season for Registration Area D (Yakutat), Registration Area E (Prince William Sound), and Registration Area H exclusive of the Kamishak District in the scallop fishery in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off...

97-33975	Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Allocation of Atka Mackerel to Vessels Using Jig Gear	Rule	NMFS implements Amendment 34 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area (FMP). The implementing regulations of Amendment 34 require an allocation of Atka mackerel to vessels using jig gear. Annually, up to 2 percent of the total allowable catch (TAC) specified for this species in the eastern Aleutian Islands District (AI)/Bering Sea subarea (BS) will be allocated to the jig gear fleet fishing in this area. This action is necessary to provide an opportunity to a localized, small- vessel jig gear fleet to fish for Atka mackerel in summer months. The large-scale trawl fisheries typically harvest the available TAC for this species early in the fishing year, which does not allow jig gear fishermen an opportunity for a summer fishery. This action is intended to further the goals and objectives of the FMP.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-33975/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-allocation-of-atka-mackerel-to-vessels-using-jig	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-33975.pdf	Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration	54,361	NMFS implements Amendment 34 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area (FMP).

97-33996	Notice of availability of Record of Decision for Wainea-Paauilo Watershed, Hawaii County, Hawaii	Notice	Kenneth M. Kaneshiro, Responsible Federal Official for projects administered under the provisions of Public Law 83-566 in the State of Hawaii, is hereby providing notification that a record of decision to proceed with the installation of the Waimea-Paauilo Watershed project, signed December 16, 1997, is available. The record of decision documents the intent to implement Alternative 5--Kauahi Reservoir Plan as set forth in the final Watershed Plan-Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Waimea- Paauilo Watershed, Hawaii County, Hawaii. The project will address the problems of inadequate and inconsistent irrigation water supply that prevent area farmers from full utilization of cropland and cause crop damage and losses during drought. The project will also address inconsistent supply and distribution of livestock drinking water to Waimea area ranches. The Selected Plan proposes the following improvements to the Waimea Irrigation System installation of a 131- million gallon reservoir, reservoir supply pipeline, extension of the irrigation water distribution system pipeline, and installation of a livestock drinking water system. The economic benefits derived by implementation of the irrigation water supply components will exceed economic costs. The social and cultural benefits of the livestock drinking water system, which will primarily serve native Hawaiian ranchers, has been judged by the funding source, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, to justify its construction. The project meets the needs of the sponsoring local organizations. The record of decision documents that the Waimea-Paauilo Watershed project uses all practicable means, consistent with other essential considerations of national policy, to meet the goals established in the National Environmental Policy Act. The FEIS has been prepared, reviewed, and accepted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-33996/notice-of-availability-of-record-of-decision-for-wainea-paauilo-watershed-hawaii-county-hawaii	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-33996.pdf	Agriculture Department; Natural Resources Conservation Service	12,376	Kenneth M.

97-34001	Airworthiness Directives; British Aerospace Model ATP Airplanes	Proposed Rule	This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all British Aerospace Model ATP airplanes. This proposal would require revising the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to modify the limitation that prohibits positioning the power levers below the flight idle stop during flight, and to provide a statement of the consequences of positioning the power levers below the flight idle stop during flight. This proposal is prompted by incidents and accidents involving airplanes equipped with turboprop engines in which the ground propeller beta range was used improperly during flight. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent loss of airplane controllability, or engine overspeed and consequent loss of engine power caused by the power levers being positioned below the flight idle stop while the airplane is in flight.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-34001/airworthiness-directives-british-aerospace-model-atp-airplanes	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-34001.pdf	Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration	492,159	This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all British Aerospace Model ATP airplanes.

(CASA) Model C-212 Series Airplanes	Proposed Rule	This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain CASA Model C-212 series airplanes. This proposal would require a one-time inspection to detect discrepancies of the spherical bearing of the aileron control rod, and corrective action, if necessary; and installation of an improved retainer washer in the movable joint of the aileron control rod. This proposal is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent loss of the movable joint of the aileron control rod, caused by deterioration of the hinges, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-34002/airworthiness-directives-construcciones-aeronauticas-sa-casa-model-c-212-series-airplanes	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-34002.pdf	Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration	492,159	This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain CASA Model C-212 series airplanes.

97-34003	Airworthiness Directives; Fokker F28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Series Airplanes	Rule	This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series airplanes, that requires a one-time visual inspection of the rear cargo door and luggage auxiliary structure for corrosion, repetitive borescope inspections of the rear cargo door, and removal and repair of any corrosion found during the inspections. This amendment also requires the drilling of drain holes and application of a corrosion preventive and sealing compound inside the rear cargo door, and modification of the rear cargo door to aid in future routine borescope inspections. This amendment is prompted by reports of corrosion being found in the affected areas on several of the affected airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such corrosion, which could result in structural failure of the cargo door and loss of the door during flight, and consequent rapid decompression, aerodynamic instability, and/or damage to other fuselage structures.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-34003/airworthiness-directives-fokker-f28-mark-1000-2000-3000-and-4000-series-airplanes	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-34003.pdf	Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration	492,159	This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series airplanes, that requires a one-time visual inspection of the rear cargo door and luggage auxiliary structure for...

97-34005	National Assessment Governing Board Meeting	Notice	The National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), US Department of Education, is announcing two public hearings on the Voluntary National Tests (VNT). These hearings are being conducted pursuant to Public Law 105-78, which gives NAGB ``exclusive authority over all policies, direction, and guidelines for developing voluntary national tests.'' Public and private parties and organizations with an interest in the Voluntary National Tests for 4th grade reading and 8th grade mathematics are invited to present written and oral testimony. The purpose of the hearings is to gather recommendations on the test specifications or blueprint for the proposed VNT based on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in 4th grade reading and 8th grade mathematics. The proposed tests will be individualized versions of NAEP, and the Board intends to ensure that they are fully consistent with NAEP's content and performance standards. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board plans to consult widely and wishes to receive a broad range of input and views. We encourage your participation. Results of the hearings are particularly important as they will provide broad public input to the Governing Board for on specifications for the Voluntary National Tests.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-34005/national-assessment-governing-board-meeting	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-34005.pdf	Education Department	126	The National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), US Department of Education, is announcing two public hearings on the Voluntary National Tests (VNT).

97-34030	International Services Surveys: BE-22 Annual Survey of Selected Services Transactions With Unaffiliated Foreign Persons	Rule	These final rules amend the reporting requirements for the BE- 22, Annual Survey of Selected Services Transactions With Unaffiliated Foreign Persons. The BE-22 surveys is conducted by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), U.S. Department of Commerce, under the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act. It is the annual follow-on survey to the quinquennial BE-20, Benchmark Survey of Selected Services Transactions With Unaffiliated Foreign Persons, which was last conducted for 1996. Together, the two surveys produce a continuous annual time series of data on major types of services that are out of the scope of other international services surveys. In nonbenchmark years, universe estimates of these transactions are derived by adding to annually reported sample data extrapolations of data reported in the benchmark survey by companies exempt from annual reporting. The data are needed to support U.S. trade policy initiatives, compile the U.S. balance of payments, input-output, and national income and product accounts, develop U.S. international price indexes for services, assess U.S. competitiveness in services, and improve the ability of U.S. businesses to identify and evaluate market opportunities. Two major changes to the BE-22 annual survey are contained in these final rules: (1) coverage of the BE-22 annual survey is expanded to conform with the most recent BE-20 benchmark survey, which covered 1996, and (2) coverage of general use computer software royalties and license fees is dropped. To consolidate on one form all transactions in intangible rights between U.S. and unaffiliated foreign persons, coverage of general use computer software royalties and license fees is being moved from the BE-22 to the BE-93, Annual Survey of Royalties, License Fees, and Other Receipts and Payments for Intangible Rights Between U.S. and Unaffiliated Foreign Persons.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-34030/international-services-surveys-be-22-annual-survey-of-selected-services-transactions-with	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-34030.pdf	Commerce Department; Economic Analysis Bureau	54,118	These final rules amend the reporting requirements for the BE- 22, Annual Survey of Selected Services Transactions With Unaffiliated Foreign Persons.

97-34031	International Services Surveys: BE-93 Annual Survey of Royalties, License Fees, and Other Receipts and Payments for Intangible Rights Between U.S. and Unaffiliated Foreign Persons	Rule	These final rules amend the reporting requirements for the BE- 93, Annual Survey of Royalties, License Fees, and Other Receipts and Payments Between U.S. and Unaffiliated Foreign Persons. The BE-93 survey is conducted by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), U.S. Department of Commerce, under the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act. The data are needed to support U.S. trade policy initiatives, compile the U.S. balance of payments, input- output, and national income and product accounts, develop U.S. international price indexes for services, assess U.S. competitiveness in international trade in services, and improve the ability of U.S. businesses to identify and evaluate market opportunities. The change to the BE-93 annual survey contained in these final rules is to add coverage of general use computer software royalties and license fees. This change will consolidate on one form all transactions in intangible rights between U.S. and unaffiliated foreign persons. Previously, royalties and license fees related to general use computer software were included on the BE-22, Annual Survey of Selected Services Transactions with Unaffiliated Foreign Persons, and all other royalties and license fees were included on the BE-93. Placing general use computer software royalties and license fees together with other royalties and license fees on the BE-93 will eliminate the possibility that some respondents would have to examine their accounting records on royalties and license fees for purposes of responding to two separate surveys. In addition, the consolidation will improve consistency with current international standards for the compilation of balance of payments accounts, which include general use computer software royalties and license fees in the same category as all other royalties and license fees.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-34031/international-services-surveys-be-93-annual-survey-of-royalties-license-fees-and-other-receipts-and	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-34031.pdf	Commerce Department; Economic Analysis Bureau	54,118	These final rules amend the reporting requirements for the BE- 93, Annual Survey of Royalties, License Fees, and Other Receipts and Payments Between U.S. and Unaffiliated Foreign Persons.

97-34051	Timber Sale Contracts; Change in Stumpage Rate Adjustment Procedure	Notice	The Forest Service gives notice of adoption of a revised stumpage rate adjustment procedure, by which rates bid on timber can be adjusted in response in market changes after the contract is awarded. The procedure will be applied to most timber sale contracts in the western States. In an August 7, 1996, Federal Register notice (61 FR 41124), the Forest Service proposed eliminating the stumpage rate adjustment procedure entirely. After considering the public comment, the Forest Service has decided to continue to use stumpage rate adjustment in timber sale contracts, but to modify the procedures so that 100 percent of the difference between current and base lumber price indices is added to tentative rates during periods of increasing lumber prices and 100 percent of the difference is subtracted from tentative rates during periods of declining prices. The effect of this change is to equalize the risk of lumber price fluctuations between purchasers and the Forest Service on future timber sale contracts and, thereby, satisfy Office of Inspector General audit recommendations.	1997-12-31	1997	12	https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/31/97-34051/timber-sale-contracts-change-in-stumpage-rate-adjustment-procedure	https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-31/pdf/97-34051.pdf	Agriculture Department; Forest Service	12,209	The Forest Service gives notice of adoption of a revised stumpage rate adjustment procedure, by which rates bid on timber can be adjusted in response in market changes after the contract is awarded.
