| E8-30778 | Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Fisheries Off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; 2009-2010 Biennial Specifications and Management Measures | Proposed Rule | NMFS proposes a rule to set the 2009-2010 harvest specifications and management measures for groundfish taken in the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California and to revise rebuilding plans for four of the seven overfished rockfish species, consistent with the Mangunson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan. Together, the revisions to rebuilding plans and the 2007-2008 harvest specifications and management measures are intended to rebuild overfished stocks as soon as possible, taking into account the status and biology of the stocks, the needs of fishing communities, and the interaction of the overfished stocks within the marine environment. | 2008-12-31 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/31/E8-30778/magnuson-stevens-act-provisions-fisheries-off-west-coast-states-pacific-coast-groundfish-fishery | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-31/pdf/E8-30778.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS proposes a rule to set the 2009-2010 harvest specifications and management measures for groundfish taken in the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California and to revise rebuilding plans for four of the... |
| E8-31062 | Qualification and Certification of Locomotive Engineers; Miscellaneous Revisions | Proposed Rule | FRA proposes revisions to its regulation governing the qualification and certification of locomotive engineers by prohibiting a railroad from reclassifying a person's locomotive engineer certificate to that of a more restrictive class during the period in which the certificate is otherwise valid while permitting the railroad to place restrictions on the locomotive engineer if appropriate. FRA also proposes to clarify that revocation of an engineer's certificate may only occur for the reasons specified in the regulation. Additionally, FRA proposes provisions that would require each railroad to identify the actions it will take in the event that a person fails a skills performance test or the railroad finds deficiencies with an engineer's performance during an operational monitoring observation or unannounced compliance test. These proposals will address unanticipated consequences arising from reclassifications and clarify the grounds upon which a railroad may revoke a locomotive engineer's certification. | 2008-12-31 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/31/E8-31062/qualification-and-certification-of-locomotive-engineers-miscellaneous-revisions | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-31/pdf/E8-31062.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Railroad Administration | 492,185 | FRA proposes revisions to its regulation governing the qualification and certification of locomotive engineers by prohibiting a railroad from reclassifying a person's locomotive engineer certificate to that of a more restrictive class during the period... |
| E8-31127 | Records Services, Fee Schedule | Proposed Rule | The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is soliciting comments on a proposed amendment to its regulation governing the fees for records services. The Commission's schedule of fees for records services will be updated using a formula for the calculation of fees under the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") and language that directs FOIA requesters to the Commission's Web site. Using a formula, instead of set rates, will allow the Commission to charge fees that reflect its allowable direct costs. | 2008-12-31 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/31/E8-31127/records-services-fee-schedule | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-31/pdf/E8-31127.pdf | Securities and Exchange Commission | 466 | The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is soliciting comments on a proposed amendment to its regulation governing the fees for records services.

| E8-30750 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for the Alabama Sturgeon (Scaphirhyncus suttkusi) | Proposed Rule | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the reopening of the public comment period and the scheduling of a public hearing on the proposed revised designation of critical habitat for the Alabama sturgeon (Scaphirhyncus suttkusi) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We also announce the availability for public comment of a draft economic analysis (DEA) and an amended required determinations section of the proposal. We also seek comment on our proposal to change the first primary constituent element (PCE) from its original description because we have determined that the original wording failed to indicate that the flow needs of the species are relative to the season of the year. We are reopening the comment period to allow all interested parties an opportunity to comment simultaneously on the revised proposed rule, the associated DEA, and the amended required determinations section. If you submitted comments previously, you do not need to resubmit them because we have already incorporated them into the public record and will fully consider them in preparation of the final rule. | 2008-12-30 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/30/E8-30750/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-designation-of-critical-habitat-for-the-alabama | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-30/pdf/E8-30750.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the reopening of the public comment period and the scheduling of a public hearing on the proposed revised designation of critical habitat for the Alabama sturgeon (Scaphirhyncus suttkusi) under... |
| E8-30822 | Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Oregon; Salem Carbon Monoxide Nonattainment Area; Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Oregon for the Salem carbon monoxide (CO) nonattainment area. On August 9, 2007, the State of Oregon submitted a request to EPA that the Salem nonattainment area be redesignated to attainment for the CO National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and concurrently submitted a maintenance plan to provide for continued attainment of the CO NAAQS. The Salem CO nonattainment area has not violated the 8-hour CO NAAQS since 1985. In accordance with the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (the Act), EPA is proposing to approve Oregon's redesignation request and SIP revision because the State adequately demonstrates that requirements for redesignation are met and that the Salem area will maintain air quality standards for CO. | 2008-12-30 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/30/E8-30822/approval-and-promulgation-of-state-implementation-plans-oregon-salem-carbon-monoxide-nonattainment | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-30/pdf/E8-30822.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Oregon for the Salem carbon monoxide (CO) nonattainment area.

| E8-31018 | Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska License Limitation Program | Proposed Rule | NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 92 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area and Amendment 82 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska. This proposed action would remove trawl gear endorsements on licenses issued under the license limitation program in specific management areas if those licenses have not been used on vessels that met minimum recent landing requirements using trawl gear. This proposed action would provide exemptions to this requirement for licenses that are used in trawl fisheries subject to certain limited access privilege programs. This proposed action would issue new area endorsements for trawl catcher vessel licenses in the Aleutian Islands if minimum recent landing requirements in the Aleutian Islands were met. This proposed action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Fishery Management Plans, and other applicable law. | 2008-12-30 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/30/E8-31018/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-bering-sea-and-aleutian-islands-and-gulf-of | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-30/pdf/E8-31018.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 92 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area and Amendment 82 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska.

| E8-30592 | Employer's Annual Federal Tax Return and Modifications to the Deposit Rules | Proposed Rule | This document revises the notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register on January 3, 2006. In the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register, the IRS is issuing temporary regulations relating to the annual filing of Federal employment tax returns and requirements for employment tax deposits under sections 6011 and 6302 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Those temporary regulations generally allow certain employers to file a Form 944, "Employer's ANNUAL Federal Tax Return," rather than Form 941, "Employer's QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return." In addition to rules related to Form 944, those temporary regulations provide an additional method for employers who file Form 941 to determine whether the amount of accumulated employment taxes is considered de minimis. The temporary and proposed regulations affect taxpayers that file Form 941, "Employer's QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return," Form 944, "Employer's ANNUAL Federal Tax Return," and any related Spanish-language returns or returns for U.S. possessions. The text of those regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. | 2008-12-29 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/29/E8-30592/employers-annual-federal-tax-return-and-modifications-to-the-deposit-rules | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-29/pdf/E8-30592.pdf | Treasury Department; Internal Revenue Service | 497,254 | This document revises the notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register on January 3, 2006.

| E8-30752 | New Standards for Letter-Size Booklets and Folded Self-Mailers | Proposed Rule | On March 14, 2008, we published in the Federal Register (Volume 73, Number 51, pages 13812-13813) an advance notice of our intent to develop new mailing standards for folded self-mailers and booklets mailed at automation and machinable letter prices. In that advance notice, we provided justification for these changes, announced a two-phase testing initiative, and reported the results of the first phase of testing. We invited comments from customers and asked that they suggest alternative booklet designs that could improve mailpiece performance. The following proposed rule is based on the results of completed testing. We propose revisions to tab size, tab location, paper weight, and dimensions for folded self-mailers and booklets mailed at automation or machinable letter prices. | 2008-12-29 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/29/E8-30752/new-standards-for-letter-size-booklets-and-folded-self-mailers | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-29/pdf/E8-30752.pdf | Postal Service | 410 | On March 14, 2008, we published in the Federal Register (Volume 73, Number 51, pages 13812-13813) an advance notice of our intent to develop new mailing standards for folded self-mailers and booklets mailed at automation and machinable letter prices.... |
| E8-30799 | Exemption to Prohibition on Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems for Access Control Technologies | Proposed Rule | The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is conducting its triennial rulemaking proceeding in accordance with a provision of the Copyright Act which was added by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and which provides that the Librarian of Congress may exempt certain classes of works from the prohibition against circumvention of technological measures that control access to copyrighted works.

| E8-30714 | Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic; Snapper-Grouper Fishery off the Southern Atlantic States; Amendment 16 | Proposed Rule | The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) has submitted Amendment 16 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (Amendment 16) for review, approval, and implementation by NMFS. Amendment 16 was developed to address overfishing and other management issues in the snapper-grouper fishery. Amendment 16 would establish management reference points and specify interim allocations for the commercial and recreational sectors for gag and vermilion snapper, as well as implement management measures which would be applied to the commercial and recreational sectors of the snapper-grouper fishery. These management measures include: a four-month spawning season closure of the recreational and commercial shallow water grouper fisheries; a five-month closure of the recreational vermilion snapper fishery; commercial quotas for gag and vermilion snapper; a reduced recreational grouper aggregate bag limit (including tilefish) and vermilion snapper bag limit; and a requirement to use dehooking and venting tools to reduce bycatch mortality of snapper-grouper species. | 2008-12-24 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/24/E8-30714/fisheries-of-the-caribbean-gulf-of-mexico-and-south-atlantic-snapper-grouper-fishery-off-the | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-24/pdf/E8-30714.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) has submitted Amendment 16 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (Amendment 16) for review, approval, and implementation by NMFS.... |

| E8-29965 | Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Adjustments to the Allowance System for Controlling HCFC Production, Import, and Export | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to adjust the allowance system for control of U.S. consumption and production of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) by apportioning baselines and allocating production and consumption allowances for several HCFCs for which the Agency previously allocated allowances and other HCFCs that were not allocated allowances previously, for the control periods 2010- 2014. The HCFC allowance system is part of EPA's Clean Air Act program to phase out ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) to protect the stratospheric ozone layer. Protection of the stratospheric ozone layer helps reduce rates of skin cancer and cataracts, as well as other health and ecological effects. The U.S. is obligated under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Montreal Protocol) to limit HCFC consumption and production to a specific level and, using stepwise reductions, to decrease the specific level culminating in a complete HCFC phaseout in 2030. The next major milestone, to occur on January 1, 2010, is a 75 percent reduction from the aggregate U.S. HCFC baseline for production and consumption. In this action EPA proposes to allocate the allowances for 2010-2014 that will ensure compliance with the international stepwise reduction, consistent with the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. In addition, EPA proposes to amend the regulatory provisions concerning allowances for HCFC production for developing countries' basic domestic needs to be consistent with the September 2007 adjustments to the Montreal Protocol. Also, the Agency is providing its interpretation of a self-effectuating ban on introduction into interstate commerce and use of HCFCs contained in section 605(a) of the Clean Air Act and proposes to amend existing regulatory provisions to facilitate implementation of the statutory requirements. | 2008-12-23 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/23/E8-29965/protection-of-stratospheric-ozone-adjustments-to-the-allowance-system-for-controlling-hcfc | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-23/pdf/E8-29965.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing to adjust the allowance system for control of U.S. consumption and production of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) by apportioning baselines and allocating production and consumption allowances for several HCFCs for which the Agency... |

| E8-29961 | National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List | Proposed Rule | The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 Office announces its intent to delete specific properties of the former Griffiss Air Force Base (GAFB) site located in Rome, New York, from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this proposed action. The NPL constitutes Appendix B to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR part 300, which EPA promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended. The entire GAFB Site, approximately 3,552 acres, includes 32 areas of concern located on property currently or formerly owned by the United States Department of Defense. EPA and the State of New York, through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), have determined that for the specified areas identified in this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion (NOIPD), all appropriate response actions pursuant to CERCLA have been implemented and, aside from monitoring, operations, maintenance, and Five-Year Reviews, no further response actions, pursuant to CERCLA, are appropriate. Moreover, EPA and NYSDEC have determined that the specified properties at the GAFB Site (i.e., the soil and groundwater beneath) either pose no significant threat to public health or the environment or all appropriate response actions have been implemented, and therefore this NOIPD may proceed.

| E8-30258 | Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD) for certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 airplanes. The original NPRM would have required replacement of the wire harness of the auxiliary hydraulic pump with a new wire harness, and routing the new wire harness outside of the tire burst area. The original NPRM resulted from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer, as well as reports of shorted wires in the right wheel well and evidence of arcing on the power cables of the auxiliary hydraulic pump. This action revises the original NPRM by proposing to require modifying the auxiliary hydraulic power system (including doing all applicable related investigative and corrective actions). We are proposing this supplemental NPRM to prevent shorted wires or electrical arcing at the auxiliary hydraulic pump, which could result in a fire in the wheel well. We are also proposing this supplemental NPRM to reduce the potential of an ignition source adjacent to the fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane. | 2008-12-19 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/19/E8-30258/airworthiness-directives-mcdonnell-douglas-model-md-90-30-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-19/pdf/E8-30258.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD) for certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 airplanes.

| E8-29673 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding on a Petition To List Four Penguin Species as Threatened or Endangered Under the Endangered Species Act and Proposed Rule To List the Southern Rockhopper Penguin in the Campbell Plateau Portion of Its Range | Proposed Rule | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 12-month finding on a petition to list four species of penguins as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). After a thorough review of all available scientific and commercial information, we find that the petitioned action for the Campbell Plateau portion of the range of the New Zealand/Australia Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of the southern rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome) is warranted, and we propose to list this species as threatened under the Act in the Campbell Plateau portion of its range. This proposal, if made final, would extend the Act's protection to this species in that portion of its range. In addition, we find that listing under the Act is not warranted for the remainder of the range of the southern rockhopper penguin and throughout all or any portion of the range for the northern rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes moseleyi), macaroni penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus), and emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri). | 2008-12-18 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/18/E8-29673/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-12-month-finding-on-a-petition-to-list-four-penguin | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-18/pdf/E8-29673.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 12-month finding on a petition to list four species of penguins as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).

| E8-30044 | Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Models 208 and 208B Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 208 and 208B airplanes. This proposed AD would require you to modify the aileron carry-through cable attachment to the aileron upper quadrant with parts of improved design. This proposed AD results from reports of a "catch" in the aileron control system when the control yoke is turned.

| E8-30081 | Migratory Bird Subsistence Harvest in Alaska; Harvest Regulations for Migratory Birds in Alaska During the 2009 Season | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or we) proposes migratory bird subsistence harvest regulations in Alaska for the 2009 season. The proposed regulations would enable the continuation of customary and traditional subsistence uses of migratory birds in Alaska and prescribe regional information on when and where the harvesting of birds may occur. These proposed regulations were developed under a co- management process involving the Service, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and Alaska Native representatives. The rulemaking is necessary because the regulations governing the subsistence harvest of migratory birds in Alaska are subject to annual review. This rulemaking proposes region-specific regulations that would go into effect on April 2, 2009, and expire on August 31, 2009. | 2008-12-18 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/18/E8-30081/migratory-bird-subsistence-harvest-in-alaska-harvest-regulations-for-migratory-birds-in-alaska | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-18/pdf/E8-30081.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or we) proposes migratory bird subsistence harvest regulations in Alaska for the 2009 season.

| E8-29951 | Use of Date of Written Statement as Filing Date | Proposed Rule | We propose to revise our rules for protective filing after we receive a written statement of intent to claim Social Security benefits under title II of the Social Security Act (the Act). Specifically, we propose to revise from 6 months to 60 days the time period during which you must file an application for benefits after the date of a notice we send explaining the need to file an application. We are proposing this revision to make the time period used in the title II program consistent with the time period used in other programs we administer under the Act. We believe that eliminating the difference between the time periods in the programs we administer would make it easier for the public to understand and follow our rules. | 2008-12-17 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/17/E8-29951/use-of-date-of-written-statement-as-filing-date | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-17/pdf/E8-29951.pdf | Social Security Administration | 470 | We propose to revise our rules for protective filing after we receive a written statement of intent to claim Social Security benefits under title II of the Social Security Act (the Act).
