05-24388 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Public Utilities Including RTOs Rule The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending its regulations to update the accounting requirements for public utilities and licensees, including independent system operators and regional transmission organizations (collectively referred to as RTOs). The Commission is also amending its financial reporting requirements for the quarterly and annual financial reporting forms for these entities. These updates to the Commission's Uniform System of Accounts and the financial reporting requirements will allow for better comparability between public utilities and will result in improved transparency of financial information and will facilitate better understanding of RTO costs. 2005-12-30 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/30/05-24388/accounting-and-financial-reporting-for-public-utilities-including-rtos https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-30/pdf/05-24388.pdf Energy Department; Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 136,167 The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending its regulations to update the accounting requirements for public utilities and licensees, including independent system operators and regional transmission organizations (collectively...
05-24515 Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca Artouste III Series Turboshaft Engines Rule The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Turbomeca Artouste III series turboshaft engines. That AD currently requires smoke emission checks after every ground engine shutdown, and if necessary, additional checks and possibly removing the engine from service. That action also requires inspection of central labyrinths not previously inspected, or not replaced after the engine logged 1,500 operating hours, and, replacement if necessary. That action also requires the removal of injection wheels at a new lower life limit. This AD includes the same requirements as AD 2002-22-11, but reduces the compliance time for the initial inspection of the central labyrinth and adds repetitive inspections of the central labyrinth. This AD results from reports and analyses of in-flight engine shutdowns occurring since we issued AD 2002-22-11. We are issuing this AD to prevent injection wheel cracks and excessive central labyrinth wear, which could result in an in-flight engine shutdown and possible loss of the helicopter. 2005-12-30 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/30/05-24515/airworthiness-directives-turbomeca-artouste-iii-series-turboshaft-engines https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-30/pdf/05-24515.pdf Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration 492,159 The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Turbomeca Artouste III series turboshaft engines.

05-24527 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 B2 and A300 B4 Series Airplanes; A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R Series Airplanes, and C4-605R Variant F Airplanes (Collectively Called A300-600 Series Airplanes); and Airbus Model A310-200 and A310-300 Series Airplanes Rule The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Airbus Model A300-600 and A310 series airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive visual inspections to detect corrosion on the lower rim area of the fuselage rear pressure bulkhead; and follow-on actions, if necessary. This new AD requires new repetitive inspections for corrosion on the rear pressure bulkhead between stringer (STGR) 27 (right hand) and STGR27 (left hand), and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD also requires sending a report of certain information to the manufacturer. The AD also adds airplanes to the applicability of the existing AD. This AD results from findings of severe corrosion on airplanes previously inspected in accordance with the existing AD. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion at the lower rim area of the fuselage rear pressure bulkhead, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the bulkhead, and consequent decompression of the cabin. 2005-12-30 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/30/05-24527/airworthiness-directives-airbus-model-a300-b2-and-a300-b4-series-airplanes-a300-b4-600-b4-600r-and https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-30/pdf/05-24527.pdf Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration 492,159 The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Airbus Model A300-600 and A310 series airplanes.

This AD requires inspecting for certain serial numbers on elevators, and doing a detailed inspection, visual inspection with a low-angle light, and tap-test inspection of the upper and lower surfaces of the external skins on certain identified elevators for any damage (i.e., debonding of the graphite fiber reinforced plastic/Tedlar film protection, bulges, debonding of the honeycomb core to the carbon fiber reinforced plastic, abnormal surface reflections, and torn-out plies), and doing corrective actions if necessary. This AD results from reports of debonded skins on the elevators. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct debonding of the skins on the elevators, which could cause reduced structural integrity of an elevator and reduced controllability of the airplane. 2005-12-30 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/30/05-24531/airworthiness-directives-airbus-model-a300-b4-600-b4-600r-and-f4-600r-series-airplanes-and-model https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-30/pdf/05-24531.pdf Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration 492,159 The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A300-600, A310-200, and A310-300 series airplanes.

05-24611 Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Renewable Fuel Standard Requirements for 2006 Rule EPA is taking direct final action to interpret and clarify the 2006 default standard applicable under the Renewable Fuel Program set forth in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The Act requires that 2.78 volume percent of gasoline sold or dispensed to consumers in the U.S. in 2006 be renewable fuel if EPA does not promulgate comprehensive regulations to implement the Renewable Fuel Program by August 8, 2006. Given the short timeframe available and the need to provide certainty to the regulated community, the Agency is finalizing a limited set of regulations for the default standard for 2006 that will provide for collective compliance by refiners, blenders, and importers to meet the 2.78 volume percent requirement, with compliance determined by looking at the national pool of gasoline sold in 2006. The Agency will develop and promulgate the comprehensive program subsequent to this action. 2005-12-30 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/30/05-24611/regulation-of-fuels-and-fuel-additives-renewable-fuel-standard-requirements-for-2006 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-30/pdf/05-24611.pdf Environmental Protection Agency 145 EPA is taking direct final action to interpret and clarify the 2006 default standard applicable under the Renewable Fuel Program set forth in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

05-24642 Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland (Formerly Rolls-Royce plc) Models Tay 650-15 and 651-54 Turbofan Engines Rule The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce Deutschland (formerly Rolls-Royce plc) (RRD) models Tay 650-15 and 651-54 turbofan engines. That AD currently requires borescope inspection of the high pressure compressor (HPC) stage 12 disc assembly to detect damage caused by HPC outlet guide vane (OGV) retaining bolt failure, and replacement of unserviceable parts with serviceable parts. That AD also requires as terminating action, the incorporation of a new design retention arrangement for the HPC OGV to prevent HPC OGV retaining bolt failure. This ad requires the same actions but extends the terminating action compliance time for Tay 650- 15 engines. This AD also includes references to later revisions of two of the applicable RRD service bulletins (SBs). This AD results from RRD relaxing the terminating action compliance time for Tay 650-15 engines due to reassessment by RRD. We are issuing this AD to prevent an uncontained failure of the HPC stage 11/12 disc spacer, which could result in damage to the airplane. 2005-12-30 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/30/05-24642/airworthiness-directives-rolls-royce-deutschland-formerly-rolls-royce-plc-models-tay-650-15-and https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-30/pdf/05-24642.pdf Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration 492,159 The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce Deutschland (formerly Rolls-Royce plc) (RRD) models Tay 650-15 and 651-54 turbofan engines.

05-24654 Thermal/Acoustic Insulation Installed on Transport Category Airplanes Rule This action modifies the requirements for improved flammability characteristics of thermal/acoustic insulation used as replacements on airplanes manufactured before September 2, 2005. The FAA has recently been provided information that the rule will apply to a much broader range of components in currently operating airplanes than was originally intended. In addition, since publishing a final rule on July 31, 2003, the FAA has learned that some requirements for improved flammability covered materials do not have a significant effect on airplane fire safety. Further, in many cases, compliant replacements are not readily available. This action focuses the requirements on replacement materials that have a greater effect on safety and are readily available, and is necessary to avoid grounding of airplanes. 2005-12-30 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/30/05-24654/thermalacoustic-insulation-installed-on-transport-category-airplanes https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-30/pdf/05-24654.pdf Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration 492,159 This action modifies the requirements for improved flammability characteristics of thermal/acoustic insulation used as replacements on airplanes manufactured before September 2, 2005.

05-24462 Roll-Over Protective Structures Rule In 1996, OSHA published a technical amendment revising the construction and agriculture standards that regulate testing of roll- over protective structures ("ROPS") used to protect employees who operate wheel-type tractors. This revision removed the original ROPS standards and replaced them with references to national consensus standards for ROPS-testing requirements. The Agency believed that the national consensus standards essentially duplicated the ROPS standards they replaced, and that any differences between them were not substantive. Subsequently, OSHA identified several substantive differences between the national consensus standards and the original ROPS standards. Therefore, the Agency is reinstating the original ROPS standards by issuing this direct final rule. The reinstated ROPS standards for both construction and agriculture also contain a number of minor revisions that OSHA believes are not substantive and will improve comprehension of, and compliance with, the standards. 2005-12-29 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/29/05-24462/roll-over-protective-structures https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-29/pdf/05-24462.pdf Labor Department; Occupational Safety and Health Administration 271,386 In 1996, OSHA published a technical amendment revising the construction and agriculture standards that regulate testing of roll- over protective structures ("ROPS") used to protect employees who operate wheel-type tractors.

05-24542 Determination of Attainment, Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Indiana; Redesignation of the Evansville Area To Attainment of the 8-Hour Ozone Standard Rule EPA is determining that the Evansville 8-hour ozone nonattainment area (Evansville area) has attained the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The Evansville area includes Vanderburgh and Warrick Counties. EPA is approving a request from the State of Indiana, submitted on June 2, 2005, to redesignate the Evansville area from nonattainment to attainment for the 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

05-24583 Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fisheries; 2006 Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Specifications; Preliminary 2006 Quota Adjustments; 2006 Summer Flounder Quota for Delaware Rule NMFS issues final specifications for the 2006 summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass fisheries, and makes preliminary adjustments to the 2006 commercial quotas for these fisheries. This final rule specifies allowed harvest limits for both commercial and recreational fisheries, including scup possession limits. This action prohibits federally permitted commercial vessels from landing summer flounder in Delaware in 2006. Regulations governing the summer flounder fishery require publication of this notification to advise the State of Delaware, Federal vessel permit holders, and Federal dealer permit holders that no commercial quota is available for landing summer flounder in Delaware in 2006. This action also defines the total length measurement for black sea bass and makes changes to the regulations regarding the commercial black sea bass pot/trap fishery. The intent of this action is to establish harvest levels and other measures to attain the target fishing mortality (F) or exploitation rates, as specified for these species in the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan (FMP), to reduce bycatch, and to improve the efficiency of the commercial black sea bass fishery. 2005-12-29 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/29/05-24583/fisheries-of-the-northeastern-united-states-summer-flounder-scup-and-black-sea-bass-fisheries-2006 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-29/pdf/05-24583.pdf Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 54,361 NMFS issues final specifications for the 2006 summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass fisheries, and makes preliminary adjustments to the 2006 commercial quotas for these fisheries.

05-24603 Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Gulf of Mexico Commercial Grouper Fishery; Trip Limit Rule NMFS issues this final rule to implement a regulatory amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP) prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council). This final rule establishes a 6,000-lb (2,722-kg) commercial trip limit for shallow-water and deep-water grouper, combined, in the exclusive economic zone of the Gulf of Mexico. The intended effect of this final rule is to minimize the effects of derby fishing and prolong the fishing season. 2005-12-29 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/29/05-24603/fisheries-of-the-caribbean-gulf-of-mexico-and-south-atlantic-gulf-of-mexico-commercial-grouper https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-29/pdf/05-24603.pdf Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 54,361 NMFS issues this final rule to implement a regulatory amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP) prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council).

05-24604 Sea Turtle Conservation; Shrimp Trawling Requirements Rule NMFS issues this 30-day temporary rule to allow shrimp fishermen to continue to use limited tow times as an alternative to Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in inshore and offshore waters from the Florida/Alabama border, westward to the Louisiana/Texas border, and extending offshore 20 nautical miles. The previous 30-day variances of the TED requirements were from September 23 through October 23, 2005; October 11 through November 10, 2005; October 22 through November 23, 2005; and from November 24 through December 23, 2005, for waters affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. These variances were initially for 50 nautical miles, while the most recent variance was for 20 nautical miles. After an investigation, NMFS has determined that excessive debris is still affecting fishermen's ability to use TEDs effectively in an area extending approximately 20 nm offshore. This action is necessary because environmental conditions resulting from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita persist on the fishing grounds, preventing some fishermen from using TEDs effectively. 2005-12-29 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/29/05-24604/sea-turtle-conservation-shrimp-trawling-requirements https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-29/pdf/05-24604.pdf Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 54,361 NMFS issues this 30-day temporary rule to allow shrimp fishermen to continue to use limited tow times as an alternative to Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in inshore and offshore waters from the Florida/Alabama border, westward to the Louisiana/Texas...

Accelerated filers will continue to file their Form 10-K annual reports under a 75-day deadline, with no further reduction scheduled to occur under the revised rules. Accelerated filers and large accelerated filers will continue to file their Form 10-Q quarterly reports under a 40-day deadline, rather than the 35-day deadline that was scheduled to apply next year under the previously existing rules. Further, the amendments revise the definition of the term "accelerated filer" to permit an accelerated filer that has voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of less than $50 million to exit accelerated filer status at the end of the fiscal year in which its equity falls below $50 million and to file its annual report for that year and subsequent periodic reports on a non- accelerated basis. Finally, the amendments permit a large accelerated filer that has voting and non-voting common equity held by non- affiliates of less than $500 million to exit large accelerated filer status at the end of the fiscal year in which its equity falls below $500 million and to file its annual report for that year and subsequent periodic reports as an accelerated filer, or a non-accelerated filer, as appropriate. 2005-12-27 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/27/05-24479/revisions-to-accelerated-filer-definition-and-accelerated-deadlines-for-filing-periodic-reports https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-27/pdf/05-24479.pdf Securities and Exchange Commission 466 We are adopting amendments to the accelerated filing deadlines that apply to periodic reports so that a "large accelerated filer" (an Exchange Act reporting company with a worldwide market value of outstanding voting and non-voting common equity held...

05-24367 Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste; Final Exclusion Rule The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) today is granting a petition submitted by Saturn Corporation in Spring Hill, Tennessee (Saturn) to exclude (or "delist") a certain hazardous waste from the lists of hazardous wastes. Saturn generates the petitioned waste, the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) sludge, by treating wastewater from Saturn's chemical conversion coating of aluminum. The waste so generated is a wastewater treatment sludge that meets the definition of F019. Saturn petitioned EPA to grant a "generator- specific" delisting because Saturn believes that its F019 waste does not meet the criteria for which this type of waste was listed. EPA reviewed all of the waste-specific information provided by Saturn, performed calculations, and determined that the waste could be disposed in a landfill without harming human health and the environment. This action responds to Saturn's petition to delist this waste on a generator-specific basis from the hazardous waste lists, and to public comments on the proposed rule. EPA took into account the public comments on the proposed rule before setting the final delisting levels. Final delisting levels in the waste leachate are based on the EPA, Region 6's Delisting Risk Assessment Software. In accordance with the conditions specified in this final rule, Saturn's petitioned waste is excluded from the requirements of hazardous waste regulations under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 2005-12-23 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/23/05-24367/hazardous-waste-management-system-identification-and-listing-of-hazardous-waste-final-exclusion https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-23/pdf/05-24367.pdf Environmental Protection Agency 145 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) today is granting a petition submitted by Saturn Corporation in Spring Hill, Tennessee (Saturn) to exclude (or "delist") a certain hazardous waste from the lists of hazardous wastes.

05-24416 Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Gulf of Mexico Essential Fish Habitat Amendment Rule NMFS issues this final rule to implement Generic Amendment 3 to the Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) of the Gulf of Mexico (EFH Amendment 3), which was prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council). EFH Amendment 3 amends each of the seven Council FMPs -shrimp, red drum, reef fish, coastal migratory pelagic resources, coral and coral reefs, stone crab, and spiny lobster- to describe and identify essential fish habitat (EFH); minimize to the extent practicable the adverse effects of fishing on EFH; and encourage conservation and management of EFH. This final rule establishes additional habitat areas of particular concern (HAPCs), restricts fishing activities within HAPCs to protect EFH, and requires a weak link in bottom trawl gear to protect EFH. The intended effect of this final rule is to facilitate long-term protection of EFH and, thus, better conserve and manage fishery resources in the Gulf of Mexico. 2005-12-23 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/23/05-24416/fisheries-of-the-caribbean-gulf-of-mexico-and-south-atlantic-gulf-of-mexico-essential-fish-habitat https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-23/pdf/05-24416.pdf Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 54,361 NMFS issues this final rule to implement Generic Amendment 3 to the Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) of the Gulf of Mexico (EFH Amendment 3), which was prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council).

05-24419 Telecommunications Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech Services for Individuals With Hearing and Speech Disabilities Rule In this document, the Commission concludes that its current rules regarding eligibility criteria for compensation from the Interstate Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) Fund do not reflect advances in the way that TRS is offered, particularly with respect to the two Internet-based forms of TRS, Video Relay Service (VRS) and Internet-Protocol (IP) Relay. Therefore, the Commission amends its rules to permit common carriers desiring to offer VRS and IP Relay service and receive compensation from the Interstate TRS Fund (Fund) to seek certification from the Commission. In doing so, the Commission largely adopts the proposal set forth in the Second Improved TRS Order's NPRM. Through this action, the certification procedure will permit common carriers desiring to offer only VRS and/or IP Relay, and not the other forms of TRS, to receive compensation from the Fund without having to meet one of the existing three eligibility criteria set forth in the Commission's rules. Also in this document, the Commission addresses a related issue raised in Hands On Video Relay Services, Inc.'s (Hands On) petition for reconsideration of the 2004 TRS Report and Order, which challenges the Commission's dismissal of Hands On application for certification as a VRS provider eligible for compensation from the Fund. Because the Commission adopts a new eligibility rule that permits Hands On to seek certification as a VRS provider eligible for compensation from the Fund without being part of a certified state TRS, the Commission concludes this issue is moot. Also, in this document, the Commission seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for any Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) burdens contained in this document that will modify OMB Control No. 3060-1047. The revised PRA burdens are related to new rules permitting common carriers seeking to offer VRS or IP Relay service, that are not part of a certified state program or have not contracted with an entity that is, to qualify for compensation from the Fund through a Commissi… 2005-12-23 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/23/05-24419/telecommunications-relay-services-and-speech-to-speech-services-for-individuals-with-hearing-and https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-23/pdf/05-24419.pdf Federal Communications Commission 161 In this document, the Commission concludes that its current rules regarding eligibility criteria for compensation from the Interstate Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) Fund do not reflect advances in the way that TRS is offered, particularly with...

05-24341 Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company CF6-45A, CF6-50A, CF6-50C, and CF6-50E Series Turbofan Engines Rule The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF6-45A, CF6-50A, CF6-50C, and CF6-50E series turbofan engines. This AD requires removing from service pre-GE Service Bulletin (SB) No. CF6-50S/B 72-1268 configuration low pressure turbine (LPT) stage 2 interstage seal assemblies and stage 3 interstage seal assemblies. This AD also requires installing new or reworked configuration stage 2 interstage seal assemblies and stage 3 interstage seal assemblies. This AD results from reports of fan mid shaft separation, leading to separation of the LPT stage 1 disk, disk overspeed, and uncontained engine failure. We are issuing this AD to prevent uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane. 2005-12-22 2005 12 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/22/05-24341/airworthiness-directives-general-electric-company-cf6-45a-cf6-50a-cf6-50c-and-cf6-50e-series https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-22/pdf/05-24341.pdf Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration 492,159 The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF6-45A, CF6-50A, CF6-50C, and CF6-50E series turbofan engines.

05-24343 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 Airplanes Rule This amendment rescinds Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005-19- 16, which is applicable to certain Airbus Model A320-111, -211, -212, - 214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes. That AD requires installing a bonding strip between each of the two water scavenge jet pumps of the center fuel tank and the rear spar in section 21. That AD resulted from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. The requirements of that AD were intended to prevent an ignition source for fuel vapor in the wing, which could result in fire or explosion in the center wing fuel tank. Since the issuance of that AD, the FAA has determined that the procedures specified in the service bulletin and French AD referenced in that AD would result in duplicate actions.

05-24374 Cosponsorships, Fee and Non-Fee Based SBA-Sponsored Activities, and Gifts Rule The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is correcting a final rule regarding cosponsorships, fee and non-fee based SBA- sponsored activities, and gifts that was published in the Federal Register on November 23, 2005. The final rule implemented SBA's statutory authority to provide assistance for the benefit of small businesses through activities sponsored with outside entities (for- profit and non-profit entities and Federal, State, and local government officials or entities) as well as activities sponsored solely by SBA. The final rule also established minimum requirements for those activities as well as the Agency's solicitation and acceptance of gifts. The rule was effective on November 23, 2005, the date of publication, but did not contain a justification for the immediate effective date as required by the Administrative Procedures Act.
