| 99-33515 | General Revision of Regulations Relating to Withholding of Tax on Certain U.S. Source Income Paid to Foreign Persons and Related Collection, Refunds, and Credits; Revision of Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Regulations; and Removal of Regulations Under Parts 1 and 35a and of Certain Regulations Under Income Tax Treaties | Rule | This document contains changes delaying the effective date to final regulations (TD 8734), which were published in the Federal Register of October 14, 1997, relating to the withholding of income tax on certain U.S. source income payments to foreign persons. The Department of the Treasury and the IRS believe it is in the best interest of tax administration to delay the effective date of the final withholding regulations to ensure that both taxpayers and the government can complete changes necessary to implement the new withholding regime. As extended by this document, the final withholding regulations will apply to payments made after December 31, 2000. | 1999-12-30 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/30/99-33515/general-revision-of-regulations-relating-to-withholding-of-tax-on-certain-us-source-income-paid-to | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-30/pdf/99-33515.pdf | Treasury Department; Internal Revenue Service | 497,254 | This document contains changes delaying the effective date to final regulations (TD 8734), which were published in the Federal Register of October 14, 1997, relating to the withholding of income tax on certain U.S. source income payments to foreign... |

| 99-33627 | Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants; Available Cyanide in Water | Rule | This final rule amends the ``Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants'' under section 304(h) of the Clean Water Act by adding Method OIA-1677: Available Cyanide by Flow Injection, Ligand Exchange, and Amperometry (hereafter Method OIA- 1677). Method OIA-1677 employs flow injection analysis (FIA) to measure ``available cyanide.'' Method OIA-1677 is an additional test procedure for measuring the same cyanide species as are measured by currently approved methods for cyanide amenable to chlorination (CATC). In some matrices, CATC methods are subject to test interferences. EPA is approving Method OIA-1677 because it is more specific for available cyanide, is more rapid, measures cyanide at lower concentrations, offers improved safety, reduces laboratory waste, and is more precise and accurate than currently approved CATC methods. | 1999-12-30 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/30/99-33627/guidelines-establishing-test-procedures-for-the-analysis-of-pollutants-available-cyanide-in-water | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-30/pdf/99-33627.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This final rule amends the ``Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants'' under section 304(h) of the Clean Water Act by adding Method OIA-1677: Available Cyanide by Flow Injection, Ligand Exchange, and Amperometry... |

| 99-31658 | Control of Emissions of Air Pollution From New Marine Compression-Ignition Engines at or Above 37 kW | Rule | In this action, we are establishing an emission control program for new marine diesel engines rated at or above 37 kilowatts. The affected engines are used for propulsion and auxiliary purposes in a wide variety of marine applications. The standards for these engines will require substantial reductions in oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter emissions to correspond with the next round of emission standards for comparable land-based engines. The standards will lead to significant reduction in oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter emissions from this source. When combined with other mobile source emission control programs, the program described in this action will help provide long-term improvements in air quality in many port cities and other coastal areas. Overall, these emission standards provide much-needed assistance to states facing ozone and particulate air quality problems, which can cause a range of adverse health effects for their residents, especially in terms of respiratory impairment and related illnesses. The persons potentially affected by this action are those who manufacture new marine diesel engines or marine vessels or other equipment using such engines. Additional requirements apply to companies that rebuild or maintain these engines. | 1999-12-29 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/29/99-31658/control-of-emissions-of-air-pollution-from-new-marine-compression-ignition-engines-at-or-above-37-kw | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-29/pdf/99-31658.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | In this action, we are establishing an emission control program for new marine diesel engines rated at or above 37 kilowatts.

Resolution of these issues should address delays in implementation of Phase I service. The Commission also resolves such issues in order to ensure implementation of Phase II and avoid potential delays in the provision of vital Phase II services. Finally, the Commission takes action to overcome obstacles in Commercial Mobile Radio Service carriers' ability to comply with the schedule and requirements that apply to their implementation of E911, consistent with the Commission's goals in adopting the framework for E911. | 1999-12-29 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/29/99-33391/wireless-radio-services-compatibility-with-enhanced-911-emergency-calling-systems | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-29/pdf/99-33391.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | In this document the Commission decides various issues raised in petitions for reconsideration and clarification of the wireless Enhanced 911 (E911) rules that request the removal of ambiguities in the rules and the adoption of modifications to enhance... |
| 99-33448 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan for Louisiana: Transportation Conformity Rule | Rule | The EPA is approving a revision to the Louisiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) that contains the transportation conformity rule. The conformity rules assure that in air quality nonattainment or maintenance areas, projected emissions from transportation plans and projects stay within the motor vehicle emissions ceiling in the SIP. The transportation conformity SIP revision enables the State to implement and enforce the Federal transportation conformity requirements at the State level. The EPA's approval action streamlines the conformity process and allows direct consultation among agencies at the local levels. The final approval action is limited to Transportation Conformity. The EPA approved the SIP revision sent under conformity of general Federal actions on September 13, 1996 (61 FR 48409). The EPA approves this SIP revision under sections 110(k) and 176 of the Clean Air Act (Act).

| 99-33564 | Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company 170, 172, 175, and 177 Series Airplanes | Rule | This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) 170, 172, 175, and 177 series airplanes. This AD requires replacing certain fuel selector valve cams or fuel selector valves that Cessna shipped from December 6, 1998, through May 10, 1999, and prevents the future installation of these fuel selector valve cams or fuel selector valves. This AD allows the pilot to check the logbooks to determine whether one of these fuel selector valve cams or fuel selector valves is installed. This AD results from reports from Cessna that fuel selector valve cams and fuel selector valves were manufactured with control shafts that will not allow both tanks to supply fuel to the engine in certain situations. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an inadequate supply of fuel from reaching the engine because of a fuel selector valve cam or fuel selector valve. This could result in an emergency landing or loss of control of the airplane. | 1999-12-29 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/29/99-33564/airworthiness-directives-cessna-aircraft-company-170-172-175-and-177-series-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-29/pdf/99-33564.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) 170, 172, 175, and 177 series airplanes.

| 99-33565 | Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Limited Dart Series Turboprop Engines | Rule | This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Rolls-Royce Limited Dart series turboprop engines. This amendment requires a one-time visual inspection of the interior of the switch to determine the type of low torque switch, and removal from service of unapproved Klixon low torque switches and replacement with serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by the discovery of unapproved low torque switches in fleet operation. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent possible low torque switch failure, which could result in failure of a propeller to auto-feather following an engine power loss, resulting in possible loss of control of the airplane due to high asymmetric drag. | 1999-12-29 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/29/99-33565/airworthiness-directives-rolls-royce-limited-dart-series-turboprop-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-29/pdf/99-33565.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Rolls-Royce Limited Dart series turboprop engines.

| 99-33567 | Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F27 Mark 050 Series Airplanes | Rule | This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F27 Mark 050 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive inspections of the connections between certain ribs and stringers of the wing skins to detect loose or missing rivets or gaps, and corrective actions, if necessary. This action also requires eventual modification of the rib-stringer connection, which terminates the repetitive inspections. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent fatigue cracking in the skin and stringers, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the wings. | 1999-12-29 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/29/99-33567/airworthiness-directives-fokker-model-f27-mark-050-series-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-29/pdf/99-33567.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F27 Mark 050 series airplanes.

| 99-33619 | Food Distribution Programs: Implementation of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Welfare Reform) | Rule | This final rule amends provisions of the Food Distribution Program regulations and the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) regulations to implement certain provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, commonly known as Welfare Reform, while generally streamlining and clarifying these regulations. In accordance with the Welfare Reform legislation, the provisions contained in this rule address various changes required by the repeal of section 110 of the Hunger Prevention Act of 1988, which authorized the former Soup Kitchens/Food Banks Program, the former beneficiaries of which are now served by an expanded TEFAP. It amends the definitions relating to organizational eligibility in TEFAP to reflect the program consolidation, and to achieve consistency with the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983 as amended by Welfare Reform. Changes to these and other definitions also provide greater clarity to the regulations. As mandated by Welfare Reform, this rule also changes the required content and frequency of submission of the TEFAP State plan of operation, and encourages State agencies to create advisory boards comprised of public and private entities with an interest in the distribution of TEFAP commodities. In addition, this rule broadens the allowable uses of TEFAP administrative funds at the State and local levels, and provides greater flexibility for State agencies in meeting the TEFAP maintenance-of-effort requirement. Finally, in order to reduce the paperwork burden and afford State agencies greater flexibility, this rule makes discretionary changes in TEFAP recordkeeping, monitoring, and reporting requirements. | 1999-12-29 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/29/99-33619/food-distribution-programs-implementation-of-the-personal-responsibility-and-work-opportunity | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-29/pdf/99-33619.pdf | Agriculture Department; Food and Nutrition Service | 12,200 | This final rule amends provisions of the Food Distribution Program regulations and the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) regulations to implement certain provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996,... |
| 99-33620 | Food Distribution Programs: Definition of ``Indian Tribal Household'' | Rule | This rule makes final an interim rule published in the Federal Register on January 11, 1994. It broadens the regulatory definition of ``Indian tribal household'' in the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) and the Food Distribution Program for Indian Households in Oklahoma (FDPIHO). Previous to the amendment of the definition, households residing in areas approved for service near Indian reservations (``near areas''), or in FNS service areas in Oklahoma, that contained Native American children, but no Native American adults, were excluded from the programs. Also, households in near areas were excluded from FDPIR if they did not contain a tribal member of the administering Indian tribe or tribes in that area. The intended effect of the change is to allow more low-income households to be served in FDPIR and FDPIHO. | 1999-12-29 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/29/99-33620/food-distribution-programs-definition-of-indian-tribal-household | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-29/pdf/99-33620.pdf | Agriculture Department; Food and Nutrition Service | 12,200 | This rule makes final an interim rule published in the Federal Register on January 11, 1994.

| 99-33808 | Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Revision of Chapter Heading and Removal of CFR Part | Rule | This document amends the heading for chapter III concerning motor carrier safety regulations. On October 9, 1999, the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) rescinded the authority previously delegated to the Federal Highway Administrator to perform motor carrier functions and operations, and to carry out the duties and powers related to motor carrier safety vested in the Secretary by chapters 5 and 315 of title 49, United States Code; and redelegated that authority to the Director, Office of Motor Carrier Safety, a new office within the Department of Transportation (Department). The title of chapter III, therefore, was changed from ``Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation'' to ``Office of Motor Carrier Safety, Department of Transportation'' on October 29, 1999. On December 9, 1999, the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 established a new administration--the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)--within the Department to improve the motor carrier safety program, effective January 1, 2000. Accordingly, the title of chapter III is now being changed from ``Office of Motor Carrier Safety, Department of Transportation'' to ``Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Department of Transportation'' to reflect the statutory changes noted above. The document also removes regulations that reference the organizational structure of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) so that new regulations may be added for the FMCSA. | 1999-12-29 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/29/99-33808/motor-carrier-safety-regulations-revision-of-chapter-heading-and-removal-of-cfr-part | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-29/pdf/99-33808.pdf | Transportation Department | 492 | This document amends the heading for chapter III concerning motor carrier safety regulations.

| 99-33329 | Section 112(l) Approval of the State of Florida's Rule Adjustment to the National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities | Rule | On April 9, 1999, the State of Florida, through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) submitted a request for adjustment of the ``National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities,'' (PERC) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). This Request was submitted through the procedures outlined in 40 CFR 63.92 and 63.91 of section 112 of the Clean Air Act as Amended in 1990. The requested adjustment by FDEP would allow the Periodic Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction reports as required in 40 CFR 63.10(d)(5) of the General Provisions, to be retained on site at PERC NESHAP affected facility instead of submitting them to the delegated agency. EPA has reviewed this 112(l) adjustment request, and determined that the State has satisfied the necessary criteria of a complete submittal as specified in Secs. 63.92 and 63.91. EPA believes this 112(l) adjustment request by the State of Florida is approvable due to the State's consistent compliance and inspection rate of these specific area source PERC NESHAP affected facilities. EPA is hereby granting the State of Florida the authority to adjust its Periodic Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction reports, to accommodate area source PERC NESHAP affected facilities through 40 CFR 63.92(b)(3)(viii) and 63.10(f)(2). Today's action is taken to modify the delegated PERC NESHAP to the State of Florida to accommodate sources classified by this PERC NESHAP as affected area sources as listed in 58 FR 49345 (September 22, 1993). | 1999-12-28 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/28/99-33329/section-112l-approval-of-the-state-of-floridas-rule-adjustment-to-the-national-perchloroethylene-air | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-28/pdf/99-33329.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | On April 9, 1999, the State of Florida, through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) submitted a request for adjustment of the ``National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities,'' (PERC) National... |

| 99-33500 | Fair Market Rents for the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments ProgramFiscal Year 2000 | Rule | FMRs for the rental of manufactured home spaces in the Section 8 housing choice voucher program are now generally 40 percent of the applicable Section 8 existing housing program FMR for a two-bedroom unit, rather than 30 percent. This reflects the change in the statute (section 545 of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998) which provides that the rent for the space with respect to which assistance payments are to be made shall include tenant-paid utilities. This change was made effective in the recent Federal Register (October 21, 1999; publication, ``Section 8 Tenant-Based Assistance; Statutory Merger of Section 8 Certificate and Voucher Programs; Housing Choice Voucher Program; Final Rule'') which revised 24 CFR 888.113. | 1999-12-28 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/28/99-33500/fair-market-rents-for-the-section-8-housing-assistance-payments-programfiscal-year-2000 | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-28/pdf/99-33500.pdf | Housing and Urban Development Department | 228 | FMRs for the rental of manufactured home spaces in the Section 8 housing choice voucher program are now generally 40 percent of the applicable Section 8 existing housing program FMR for a two-bedroom unit, rather than 30 percent.

| 99-33501 | Civil Penalties for Fair Housing Act Violations | Rule | This final rule adopts revisions to HUD's regulations governing hearing procedures for civil rights matters made effective by an interim rule published on February 10, 1999. These revisions implement two important changes in the way civil penalties are assessed in fair housing cases. First, they allow an administrative law judge (ALJ) to assess a separate civil penalty against a respondent for each separate and distinct discriminatory housing practice committed by the respondent. Second, they require an ALJ to take into account, in favor of imposing a maximum civil penalty, a finding that a respondent has committed a housing-related hate act. This final rule takes into consideration public comments received on the February 10, 1999 interim rule. After careful consideration of the public comments, HUD has decided to adopt the interim rule without change. | 1999-12-28 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/28/99-33501/civil-penalties-for-fair-housing-act-violations | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-28/pdf/99-33501.pdf | Housing and Urban Development Department | 228 | This final rule adopts revisions to HUD's regulations governing hearing procedures for civil rights matters made effective by an interim rule published on February 10, 1999.

It also clarifies the names of selected places in Connecticut and Florida. All had been incorrectly categorized or named in Schedule C of the document published in the Federal Register on September 24, 1999. None of the AAFs published in the September 24, 1999 document are being changed by this document; however, for clarity the entire document is being reprinted, and the September 24, 1999 document should be replaced with this one. The Annual Adjustment Factors (AAFs) contained in this document are for adjustment of Section 8 contract rents on housing assistance payment contract anniversaries from October 1, 1999. The AAFs are based on a formula using data on residential rent and utilities cost changes from the most current Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) survey and from HUD's Random Digit Dialing (RDD) rent change surveys. | 1999-12-28 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/28/99-33502/section-8-housing-assistance-payments-program-contract-rent-annual-adjustment-factors-fiscal-year | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-28/pdf/99-33502.pdf | Housing and Urban Development Department | 228 | This document corrects the Schedule C area definitions for metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the following States: Alabama (Auburn-Opelika), Arizona (Flagstaff), Colorado (Grand Junction), Idaho (Pocatello), Maine (Portland), Mississippi... |

In addition, RUS has determined to no longer limit borrowers to 130 percent of the project cost estimate for projects in the CWP or amendment and approved loan, as amended, for which prior RUS approval must be obtained.

In addition, this rule makes minor changes to the meal pattern requirements. These changes include a technical correction to the supper meal pattern for adults; a modification to the egg and meat/meat alternate equivalencies in the meal patterns to conform to the standards used in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program; and a correction to the infant meal pattern to remove an erroneous footnote for breakfast for infants 8 through 11 months. | 1999-12-27 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/27/99-33180/child-and-adult-care-food-program-overclaim-authority-and-technical-changes-to-the-meal-pattern | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-27/pdf/99-33180.pdf | Agriculture Department; Food and Nutrition Service | 12,200 | This rule amends the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) regulations to explicitly authorize the Department and State agencies to assess overclaims against institutions that fail to abide by CACFP recordkeeping requirements.

| 99-33363 | Prevailing Rate Systems; Abolishment of the Washington, MD, Nonappropriated Fund Wage Area | Rule | The Office of Personnel Management is issuing an interim rule that will abolish the Washington, MD, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area, and establish a new Frederick, MD, NAF FWS wage area. The abolishment of the Washington, MD, wage area and the establishment of a new Frederick wage area is necessary because of the closure of the Washington, MD, wage area's host installation, Fort Ritchie. This closure has left the Department of Defense without an installation in the survey area capable of hosting annual local wage surveys. In addition, there are no longer any NAF FWS employees stationed in Washington County. | 1999-12-27 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/27/99-33363/prevailing-rate-systems-abolishment-of-the-washington-md-nonappropriated-fund-wage-area | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-27/pdf/99-33363.pdf | Personnel Management Office | 406 | The Office of Personnel Management is issuing an interim rule that will abolish the Washington, MD, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area, and establish a new Frederick, MD, NAF FWS wage area.
