| 2012-31132 | Rescinding Spent Fuel Pool Exclusion Regulations | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is providing supplemental information to a notice of receipt that appeared in the Federal Register on December 19, 2012. This document informed the public of a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Commonwealth) requesting that the NRC institute a rulemaking to rescind the regulations excluding consideration of spent fuel pool storage impacts from license renewal environmental reviews. This action is necessary to provide the public with supplemental information on how to access documents referenced in the Commonwealth's petition. | 2012-12-31 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/31/2012-31132/rescinding-spent-fuel-pool-exclusion-regulations | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-31/pdf/2012-31132.pdf | Nuclear Regulatory Commission | 383 | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is providing supplemental information to a notice of receipt that appeared in the Federal Register on December 19, 2012.

| 2012-31170 | Electronic Fund Transfers (Regulation E) | Proposed Rule | The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) is proposing to amend subpart B of Regulation E, which implements the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and the official interpretation to the regulation. The proposal would refine a final rule issued by the Bureau earlier in 2012 that implements section 1073 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regarding remittance transfers. The proposal addresses three narrow issues. First, the proposal would provide additional flexibility regarding the disclosure of foreign taxes, as well as fees imposed by a designated recipient's institution for receiving a remittance transfer in an account. Second, the proposal would limit a remittance transfer provider's obligation to disclose foreign taxes to those imposed by a country's central government. Third, the proposal would revise the error resolution provisions that apply when a remittance transfer is not delivered to a designated recipient because the sender provided incorrect or insufficient information, and, in particular, when a sender provides an incorrect account number and that incorrect account number results in the funds being deposited in the wrong account. The Bureau is also proposing to temporarily delay and extend the effective date of the rule. | 2012-12-31 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/31/2012-31170/electronic-fund-transfers-regulation-e | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-31/pdf/2012-31170.pdf | Consumer Financial Protection Bureau | 573 | The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) is proposing to amend subpart B of Regulation E, which implements the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and the official interpretation to the regulation.

| 2012-31188 | Pesticides; Revisions to Minimum Risk Exemption | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to more clearly describe the active and inert ingredients permitted in products eligible for the exemption from regulation for minimum risk pesticides. EPA is proposing to reorganize these lists with a focus on clarity and transparency by adding specific chemical identifiers. The identifiers would make it clearer to manufacturers; the public; and Federal, state, and tribal inspectors which ingredients are permitted in minimum risk pesticide products. EPA is also proposing to modify the label requirements in the exemption to require the use of specific common chemical names in lists of ingredients on minimum risk pesticide product labels, and to require producer contact information on the label. Once final, these proposed changes would maintain the availability of minimum risk pesticide products while providing more consistent information for consumers, clearer regulations for producers, and easier identification by states, tribes and EPA as to whether a product is in compliance with the exemption. | 2012-12-31 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/31/2012-31188/pesticides-revisions-to-minimum-risk-exemption | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-31/pdf/2012-31188.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing to more clearly describe the active and inert ingredients permitted in products eligible for the exemption from regulation for minimum risk pesticides.

| 2012-31340 | Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations for Nobles County, MN, and Incorporated Areas | Proposed Rule | The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is withdrawing its proposed rule concerning proposed flood elevation determinations for Nobles County, Minnesota, and Incorporated Areas. | 2012-12-31 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/31/2012-31340/proposed-flood-elevation-determinations-for-nobles-county-mn-and-incorporated-areas | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-31/pdf/2012-31340.pdf | Homeland Security Department; Federal Emergency Management Agency | 227,166 | The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is withdrawing its proposed rule concerning proposed flood elevation determinations for Nobles County, Minnesota, and Incorporated Areas. |
| 2012-31362 | Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines | Proposed Rule | We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80C2 series turbofan engines. That NPRM proposed to supersede an AD that required replacement of fuel tubes connected to the fuel flowmeter. That NPRM was prompted by several reports of fuel leaks, and two reports of engine fire, due to mis-assembled supporting brackets on the fuel tube connecting the flowmeter to the Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) fuel- oil cooler. That NPRM required installation of a new simplified one- piece supporting bracket to eliminate mis-assembly. This supplemental action adds an engine model, alters the list of affected part numbers (P/Ns), changes the replacement schedule, and revises our estimated cost of compliance. We are reopening the comment period to allow the public the opportunity to comment on these proposed changes. We are proposing this AD to prevent high-pressure fuel leaks caused by improper seating of fuel tube flanges, which could result in an engine fire and damage to the airplane. | 2012-12-31 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/31/2012-31362/airworthiness-directives-general-electric-company-turbofan-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-31/pdf/2012-31362.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80C2 series turbofan engines.

| 2012-31396 | Energy Conservation Program: Request for Exclusion of 100 Watt R20 Short Incandescent Reflector Lamp From Energy Conservation Standards | Proposed Rule | The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including incandescent reflector lamps (IRLs). The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) received a petition from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association requesting the initiation of a rulemaking to exclude from coverage under EPCA standards a certain type of IRL marketed for use in pool and spa applications. Specifically, the lamp at issue is a 100- watt R20 short (having a maximum overall length of 3 and \5/8\ or 3.625 inches) IRL ("R20 short lamp"). DOE published this petition and a request for comment in the Federal Register on December 23, 2010. From its evaluation of the petition and careful consideration of the public comments, DOE decided to grant the petition for rulemaking. DOE published a request for information in the Federal Register on September 8, 2011. Based on the comments received and additional data gathered by DOE, DOE proposes to exclude R20 short lamps from coverage under the EPCA energy conservation standards. | 2012-12-31 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/31/2012-31396/energy-conservation-program-request-for-exclusion-of-100-watt-r20-short-incandescent-reflector-lamp | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-31/pdf/2012-31396.pdf | Energy Department | 136 | The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including incandescent reflector lamps (IRLs).

| 2012-30090 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Washington; Regional Haze State Implementation Plan; Federal Implementation Plan for Best Available Retrofit Technology for Alcoa Intalco Operations and Tesoro Refining and Marketing | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove a Washington Regional Haze Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Washington on December 22, 2010, that addresses regional haze for the first implementation period. This plan was submitted to meet the requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 169A and 169B that require states to prevent any future and remedy any existing man-made impairment of visibility in mandatory Class I areas. EPA is proposing to: (1) Approve portions of this SIP submittal as meeting most of the requirements of the regional haze program, (2) propose a limited approval and limited disapproval of the SO<INF>2</INF> Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) determination for Intalco Aluminum Corp.

| 2012-30731 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reclassification of the Continental U.S. Breeding Population of the Wood Stork From Endangered to Threatened | Proposed Rule | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or USFWS), propose to reclassify the continental United States (U.S.) breeding population of wood stork from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We find that the best available scientific and commercial data indicate that the endangered designation no longer correctly reflects the current status of the continental U.S. breeding population of the wood stork due to a substantial improvement in the species' overall status. This proposed rule also constitutes our 12-month finding on the petition to reclassify the species. | 2012-12-26 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/26/2012-30731/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-reclassification-of-the-continental-us-breeding | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-26/pdf/2012-30731.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or USFWS), propose to reclassify the continental United States (U.S.) breeding population of wood stork from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).

| 2012-30916 | Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 airplanes. The existing AD currently requires, for certain airplanes, repetitively replacing the low-stage check valve and associated seals of the right hand (RH) engine's engine bleed system with a new check valve and new seals, replacing the low pressure check valves (LPCV), and revising the maintenance program. For certain other airplanes, the existing AD requires replacing a certain low-stage check valve with an improved low-stage check valve. Since we issued that AD, we have received reports of uncommanded engine shutdowns on both Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 airplanes due to excessive wear and failure of LPCVs having certain part numbers. This proposed AD would also, for certain airplanes, require replacing certain LPCVs of the left-hand (LH) and RH engines, which would be an option for other airplanes. We are proposing this AD to prevent the possibility of a dual engine in-flight shutdown due to LPCV failure. | 2012-12-26 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/26/2012-30916/airworthiness-directives-embraer-sa-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-26/pdf/2012-30916.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Embraer S.A.

| 2012-30925 | Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-102, -103, and -106 airplanes, and Model DHC-8-200, -300, and -400 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of excessive wear found in the clevis (bolt) hole where the rod assembly attaches to the rudder/brake pedal bellcrank, due to prolonged fretting. This proposed AD would require measuring the bellcrank clevis holes, inspecting for cracking of the bellcrank, and re-working the clevis holes with steel bushings, or replacing the bellcrank. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct a worn or cracked clevis hole, which could cause failure of the bellcrank on one side, with subsequent asymmetric braking and consequent runway excursion. | 2012-12-26 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/26/2012-30925/airworthiness-directives-bombardier-inc-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-26/pdf/2012-30925.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc.

| 2012-30962 | Control Date for Qualifying Landings History in the Central Gulf of Alaska Trawl Groundfish Fisheries | Proposed Rule | At the request of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council), this notice announces a control date of December 31, 2012, that may be used as a reference for future management actions applicable to, but not limited to, qualifying landings and permit history for an allocation-based management or catch share program in the Central Gulf of Alaska (GOA) trawl groundfish fisheries. This date corresponds to the end of the fishing year for this fishery, so that the full catch history for 2012 may be considered in any such future management actions. We also expect that this notice will publish close to the control date of December 31, 2012, and so will not either prompt speculation in advance of the control date, or disadvantage any fishers regarding their fishing activity after the control date, but before publication. This notice is intended to promote awareness of possible rulemaking and provide notice to the public that any accumulation of landings history in the Central GOA trawl groundfish fisheries occurring after the control date may not be credited for purposes of making any allocation under a future management program. This notice is also intended to discourage speculative entry into the fisheries while the Council considers whether and how allocations of fishing privileges should be developed under a future management program. | 2012-12-26 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/26/2012-30962/control-date-for-qualifying-landings-history-in-the-central-gulf-of-alaska-trawl-groundfish | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-26/pdf/2012-30962.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | At the request of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council), this notice announces a control date of December 31, 2012, that may be used as a reference for future management actions applicable to, but not limited to, qualifying landings... |

| 2012-31036 | Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation | Proposed Rule | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GV and GV-SP airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of two failures of the fuel boost pump and over-heat damage found on the internal components and external housing. This proposed AD would require doing an inspection to determine if fuel boost pumps having a certain part number are installed, replacing the fuel boost pumps having a certain part number, and revising the airplane maintenance program to include revised instructions for continued airworthiness. We are proposing this AD to prevent fuel leakage into the dry cavity of the boost pump and outside of the fuel pump, and to prevent capacitor clearance issues in the dry cavity, which together could result in an uncontrolled fire in the wheel well. | 2012-12-26 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/26/2012-31036/airworthiness-directives-gulfstream-aerospace-corporation | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-26/pdf/2012-31036.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GV and GV-SP airplanes.

| 2012-30666 | Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 757 and Model 767 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a standby power relay failure and subsequent illumination of the "STANDBY BUS OFF" light, which led the flightcrew to set the standby power switch to the "BAT" position, isolating the battery and standby buses, disabling the battery charger, and eventually causing the main battery to be depleted. This proposed AD would require doing wiring changes and installing a new air/ground relay to the battery charger system. We are proposing this AD to prevent discharge of the main battery, which could result in multiple system degradation, reduced airplane controllability, and runway excursion upon landing. | 2012-12-20 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/20/2012-30666/airworthiness-directives-the-boeing-company-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-20/pdf/2012-30666.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 757 and Model 767 airplanes.

| 2012-30493 | Special Conditions: Embraer S.A., Model EMB-550 Airplanes; Electrical/Electronic Equipment Bay Fire Detection and Smoke Penetration | Proposed Rule | This action proposes special conditions for the Embraer S.A. Model EMB-550 airplane. This airplane will have novel or unusual design features, specifically distributed electrical and electronic equipment bays in pressurized areas of the airplane. Older transport category airplane electrical/electronic equipment bay installations are located in the lower lobe where the flightcrew could determine the origin of smoke or fire by a straightforward airplane flight manual procedure. In distributed electrical/electronic bay installations it is not as straightforward. The FAA has no requirement for smoke and/or fire detection in the electrical/electronic equipment bays. To ensure effective mitigation of fires, the FAA proposes these special conditions.

| 2012-30195 | Amendments and Correction to Petitions for Waiver and Interim Waiver for Consumer Products and Commercial and Industrial Equipment | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE" or the "Department") proposes amendments and corrections to portions of its regulations governing petitions for waiver and interim waiver from DOE test procedures. In finalizing the March 7, 2011 final certification, compliance and enforcement rule for consumer products and commercial equipment, DOE inadvertently deleted language pertaining to petitions for waiver and interim waiver of DOE's test procedure requirements for consumer products. This notice addresses that error by proposing to restore, with minor amendments, the omitted text. DOE also proposes a process by which, within 60 days after DOE grants a waiver for a product employing a particular technology, other manufacturers of that product employing a technology or characteristic that results in the same need for a waiver would submit a petition for waiver. This process would ensure that manufacturers of similar products test and rate those products in a comparable manner. The proposed rule also sets forth a process for manufacturers to request rescission or modification of a waiver if they determine that the waiver is no longer needed, or for other appropriate reasons. DOE also proposes to make other minor modifications to the waiver provisions for both consumer products and commercial equipment and to clarify certain aspects related to the submission and processing of a waiver petition. | 2012-12-17 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/17/2012-30195/amendments-and-correction-to-petitions-for-waiver-and-interim-waiver-for-consumer-products-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-17/pdf/2012-30195.pdf | Energy Department | 136 | The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE" or the "Department") proposes amendments and corrections to portions of its regulations governing petitions for waiver and interim waiver from DOE test procedures.

| 2012-30368 | Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracks on the side stay of the main landing gear (MLG). This proposed AD would require repetitive measurements of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) MLG side stay support fitting to detect bushing migration, replacement of the bushing if necessary, and eventual replacement of the bushing; a detailed inspection for damage on the LH and RH MLG side stay support assembly, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary.

| 2012-30065 | Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Turbofan Engines | Proposed Rule | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) models Tay 620-15 and Tay 650-15 turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by RRD recalculating the Declared Safe Cyclic Life (DSCL) for certain low- pressure compressor (LPC) rotor disc assemblies operating to the Plan D Flight Mission. This proposed AD would require removing the affected LPC rotor disc assemblies at a new lower recalculated DSCL. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the LPC rotor disc assembly, uncontained engine failure, and damage to the airplane. | 2012-12-13 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/13/2012-30065/airworthiness-directives-rolls-royce-deutschland-ltd-and-co-kg-turbofan-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-13/pdf/2012-30065.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) models Tay 620-15 and Tay 650-15 turbofan engines.

| 2012-30071 | Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a translating door handle jamming during opening of an aft door. This proposed AD would require replacing the handle shaft with a new single-piece machined handle shaft on the aft entry and service doors, and require revising the maintenance program by incorporating a new airworthiness limitation task. We are proposing this AD to prevent a migrated pin from jamming a translating door handle, which could prevent opening of the door and impede an emergency evacuation. | 2012-12-13 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/13/2012-30071/airworthiness-directives-bombardier-inc-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-13/pdf/2012-30071.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc.

| 2012-30072 | Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines | Proposed Rule | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all General Electric Company (GE) CF34-8C and CF34-8E turbofan engines with certain part numbers (P/N) of operability bleed valves (OBV) installed. This proposed AD was prompted by three failure events of ring lock fuel fittings on the OBV. Two of those events led to an engine fire. This proposed AD would require the affected OBVs be removed from service and replaced with OBVs eligible for installation. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of OBV ring lock fuel fittings, engine fuel leakage, uncontrolled fire, and damage to the airplane. | 2012-12-13 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/13/2012-30072/airworthiness-directives-general-electric-company-turbofan-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-13/pdf/2012-30072.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all General Electric Company (GE) CF34-8C and CF34-8E turbofan engines with certain part numbers (P/N) of operability bleed valves (OBV) installed.

| 2012-30082 | Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Event Data Recorders | Proposed Rule | In August 2006, NHTSA established a regulation that sets forth requirements for data elements, data capture and format, data retrieval, and data crash survivability for event data recorders (EDRs) installed in light vehicles. The requirements apply to light vehicles that are manufactured on or after September 1, 2012, and are equipped with EDRs. However, the regulation does not mandate the installation of EDRs in those vehicles. This notice of proposed rulemaking would establish a new safety standard mandating the installation of EDRs in most light vehicles manufactured on or after September 1, 2014. The EDRs in those vehicles would be required by the new standard to meet the data elements, data capture and format, data retrieval, and data crash survivability requirements of the existing regulation. This proposal would not modify any of the requirements or specifications in the regulation for EDRs voluntarily installed between September 1, 2012 and September 1, 2014. | 2012-12-13 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/13/2012-30082/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standards-event-data-recorders | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-13/pdf/2012-30082.pdf | Transportation Department; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration | 492,345 | In August 2006, NHTSA established a regulation that sets forth requirements for data elements, data capture and format, data retrieval, and data crash survivability for event data recorders (EDRs) installed in light vehicles.

| 2012-30098 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; Public Participation for Air Quality Permit Applications | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) that establish the public participation requirements for air quality permits. EPA proposes to find that these revisions to the Texas SIP comply with the Federal Clean Air Act (the Act or CAA) and EPA regulations and are consistent with EPA policies. Texas submitted the public participation provisions in four separate revisions to the SIP on July 22, 1998; October 25, 1999; July 2, 2010; and March 11, 2011.

| 2012-30099 | Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Allocating Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crab Fishery Resources | Proposed Rule | The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) submitted Amendment 41 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/ Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs (FMP) to NMFS for review. If approved, Amendment 41 would amend the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program (CR program) by establishing a process for eligible harvesters, processors, and affected communities to request an exemption from regional delivery requirements. Federal regulations require that crab harvested with regionally designated individual fishing quota (IFQ) be landed within the designated region; likewise, crab purchased with regionally designated individual processing quota (IPQ) must be processed within the designated region. Natural and man- made situations can disrupt fishing and processing activity making regional delivery requirements untenable in some seasons. Amendment 41 is necessary to prevent disruption to the CR Program fisheries, while providing for the sustained participation of the communities intended to benefit from the regional delivery requirements. This proposed action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson- Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the FMP, and other applicable laws. | 2012-12-13 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/13/2012-30099/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-allocating-bering-sea-and-aleutian-islands-king | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-13/pdf/2012-30099.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) submitted Amendment 41 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/ Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs (FMP) to NMFS for review.

| 2012-30119 | Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fisheries; Framework Adjustment 7 | Proposed Rule | NMFS proposes changing the butterfish mortality cap on the longfin squid fishery from a catch cap to a discard cap in Framework Adjustment 7 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan,. This action also proposes reducing the butterfish mortality cap for the 2013 fishing year by 13 percent (from 4,500 mt to 3,915 mt) to exclude butterfish landings that were previously included in the butterfish mortality cap allocation. The adjustment will maintain the intended function of the butterfish mortality cap by continuing to limit butterfish discards in the longfin squid fishery while accommodating a potential directed butterfish fishery during the 2013 fishing year. | 2012-12-13 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/13/2012-30119/fisheries-of-the-northeastern-united-states-atlantic-mackerel-squid-and-butterfish-fisheries | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-13/pdf/2012-30119.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS proposes changing the butterfish mortality cap on the longfin squid fishery from a catch cap to a discard cap in Framework Adjustment 7 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan,.

| 2012-29244 | Oranges, Grapefruit, Tangerines, and Tangelos Grown in Florida; Redistricting and Reapportionment of Grower Members, and Changing the Qualifications for Grower Membership on the Citrus Administrative Committee | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule would redefine districts, reapportion representation, and modify the qualifications for membership on the Citrus Administrative Committee (Committee). The Committee is responsible for local administration of the Federal marketing order for oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, and tangelos grown in Florida (order). This rule would reduce the number of districts, reapportion representation among the districts, and allow up to four growers who are shippers or employees of a shipper to serve as grower members on the Committee. These changes would adjust grower representation to reflect the composition of the industry, provide equitable representation from each district, and create the opportunity for more growers to serve on the Committee. | 2012-12-12 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/12/2012-29244/oranges-grapefruit-tangerines-and-tangelos-grown-in-florida-redistricting-and-reapportionment-of | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-12/pdf/2012-29244.pdf | Agriculture Department; Agricultural Marketing Service | 12,9 | This proposed rule would redefine districts, reapportion representation, and modify the qualifications for membership on the Citrus Administrative Committee (Committee).

| 2012-29500 | Amendments to the Abandoned Plan Regulations | Proposed Rule | This document contains proposed amendments to three regulations previously published under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 that facilitate the termination of, and distribution of benefits from, individual account pension plans that have been abandoned by their sponsoring employers. The principal amendments propose to permit bankruptcy trustees to use the Department's Abandoned Plan Program to terminate and wind up the plans of sponsors in liquidation under chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In addition, other technical amendments are proposed to improve the operation of the regulations. If adopted, the amendments would affect employee benefit plans, primarily small defined contribution plans, participants and beneficiaries, service providers, and individuals appointed to serve as trustees under chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. | 2012-12-12 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/12/2012-29500/amendments-to-the-abandoned-plan-regulations | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-12/pdf/2012-29500.pdf | Labor Department; Employee Benefits Security Administration | 271,131 | This document contains proposed amendments to three regulations previously published under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 that facilitate the termination of, and distribution of benefits from, individual account pension plans that... |
