Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Department of Agriculture
(USDA)is adopting, as a final rule, without change, an interim final rule that removed the container regulations prescribed under the Washington sweet cherry marketing order. Specifically, this rule finalizes the removal of the requirement that dark-colored sweet cherries be handled in containers having a certain net weight. The marketing order regulates the handling of fresh sweet cherries grown in designated counties in the State of Washington, and is administered locally by the Washington Cherry Marketing Committee (Committee). By eliminating the container requirements, this regulatory relaxation provides handlers with the ability to meet the rapidly changing wholesale, retail, and consumer demand for innovative product packaging. This is expected to enhance industry marketing flexibility and efficiency. DATES: *Effective Date:* August 23, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert J. Curry or Gary D.

(202)720-8938; or E-mail: *Jay.Guerber@usda.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule is issued under Marketing Order No. 923 (7 CFR part 923) regulating the handling of sweet cherries grown in designated counties in Washington, hereinafter referred to as the “order.” The order is effective under the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended (7 U.S.C. 601-674), hereinafter referred to as the “Act.” USDA is issuing this rule in conformance with Executive Order 12866. This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule is not intended to have retroactive effect. This rule will not preempt any State or local laws, regulations, or policies, unless they present an irreconcilable conflict with this rule. The Act provides that administrative proceedings must be exhausted before parties may file suit in court. Under section 608c(15)(A) of the Act, any handler subject to an order may file with USDA a petition stating that the order, any provision of the order, or any obligation imposed in connection with the order is not in accordance with law and request a modification of the order or to be exempted therefrom. Such handler is afforded the opportunity for a hearing on the petition. After the hearing USDA would rule on the petition. The Act provides that the district court of the United States in any district in which the handler is an inhabitant, or has his or her principal place of business, has jurisdiction to review USDA's ruling on the petition, provided an action is filed not later than 20 days after the date of the entry of the ruling. This rule finalizes the removal of the requirement that dark-colored sweet cherries be handled in containers having a certain net weight. This relaxation in the regulations provides handlers with the ability to meet the rapidly changing wholesale, retail, and consumer demand for innovative product packaging, thereby enhancing industry marketing flexibility and efficiency. Section 923.52 of the order authorizes the issuance of regulations for grade, size, quality, maturity, pack, and container for any variety of sweet cherries grown in the production area. Section 923.52(a)(3) specifically authorizes the establishment of the container regulations found in § 923.322. Section 923.53 authorizes the modification, suspension, or termination of regulations issued pursuant to § 923.52. Authority to regulate the size, capacity, weight, dimension, markings or pack of containers used in the handling of fresh sweet cherries was included in the order when promulgated in 1957. This authority was included in the order to facilitate container standardization and thus help establish orderly marketing conditions and increase producer returns. The Committee meets prior to each season to consider recommendations for modification, suspension, or termination of any regulatory requirements for Washington sweet cherries that are issued on a continuing basis. Committee meetings are open to the public and interested persons may express their views at these meetings. The USDA reviews the Committee recommendations along with any supportive information submitted by the Committee, as well as information from other available resources, and determines whether modification, suspension, or termination of the regulatory requirements would tend to effectuate the declared policy of the Act. At its February 28, 2006, meeting, the Committee recommended that the container regulations be entirely removed from the handling regulations. The Committee recommended that this rule be effective as early as May 1, 2006, to ensure that the earliest shipments of sweet cherries benefit from the relaxed regulations, and that container manufacturers have adequate time prior to the beginning of the shipping season to retool if new containers are ordered by the industry. The container requirements provide the Washington cherry industry with container standardization to help ensure orderly marketing conditions and increased producer returns. Section 923.322(d) provided that: “No handler shall handle any lot of cherries, except cherries of the Rainier, Royal Anne, and similar varieties commonly referred to as “light sweet cherries”, unless such cherries are in containers which meet each of the following applicable requirements:
(1)The net weight of loose packed (jumble-filled) cherries in any container shall be 12 pounds or less, or 20 pounds or more. The net weight of face packed cherries in any container shall be 15 pounds, or 12 pounds or less: *Provided,* That containers with a net weight of 12 pounds or less may be packed together with like containers in a master shipping container.
(2)Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and
(ii)of this section, shipments of cherries may be handled in such experimental containers as have been approved by the Washington Cherry Marketing Committee.” Paragraph
(2)above refers to the provisions of § 923.322(b)(2)(i) and (ii), which specified that: “(i) All shipments handled in such containers shall be under the supervision of the committee; and
(ii)at least 90 percent, by count, of the cherries in any lot of such containers shall measure not less than 54/64 inch in diameter, and not more than 5 percent, by count, may be less than 52/64 inch in diameter.” Since the provisions of (b)(2)(i) and
(ii)referred to experimental containers exempt under 923.322(d)(2), this rule also finalizes the removal of both paragraphs from the handling regulations. Comments made at the public meeting indicate that container standardization has contributed to orderly marketing in the past. Due to the changing dynamics in the fresh produce industry, however, buyers—at the wholesale, retail and consumer level—are seeking many more packaging options than have been available in the past. Handlers report that buyers are increasingly interested in non-traditional packaging options designed for better handling and greater consumer acceptance. Handlers also desire greater latitude in choosing the optimum weight for a particular type of pack. Of specific concern to this industry is the ability to pack cherries in containers with net weights of between 12 and 20 pounds—a weight range specifically barred under the removed container regulation. Although § 923.322(d)(2) provided for experimental container exemptions, those handlers who have utilized this exemption in the past felt that the process was too cumbersome and time-consuming, thus failing to provide the optimal flexibility they need under current marketing conditions. Regardless of the size, capacity, or type containers the industry may eventually use, the Committee believes that the Washington cherry industry desires flexibility in packaging dark-colored sweet cherries. This action provides the industry with needed flexibility. This rule not only finalizes the removal of the container regulations (§ 923.322(d)), but also finalizes necessary conforming changes through the removal of § 923.322(b)(2)(i) and (ii), as well as references to container requirements in § 923.322(f)(1)(ii) and § 923.322(g). Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Pursuant to requirements set forth in the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), the Agricultural Marketing Service
(AMS)has considered the economic impact of this rule on small entities. Accordingly, AMS has prepared this final regulatory flexibility analysis. The purpose of the RFA is to fit regulatory actions to the scale of business subject to such actions in order that small businesses will not be unduly or disproportionately burdened. Marketing orders issued pursuant to the Act, and the rules issued thereunder, are unique in that they are brought about through group action of essentially small entities acting on their own behalf. Thus, both statutes have small entity orientation and compatibility. There are approximately 1,500 cherry producers within the regulated production area and approximately 53 regulated handlers. Small agricultural producers are defined by the Small Business Administration (13 CFR 121.201) as those having annual receipts of less than $750,000, and small agricultural service firms are defined as those whose annual receipts are less than $6,500,000. For the 2005 shipping season, the Washington Agricultural Statistics Service prepared a preliminary report showing that the total 113,000 ton fresh market sweet cherry utilization sold for an average of $2,830 per ton. Based on the number of producers in the production area, the average producer revenue from the sale of sweet cherries in 2005 is estimated at approximately $213,200 per year. In addition, the Committee reports that most of the industry's 53 handlers would have each averaged gross receipts of less than $6,500,000 from the sale of fresh sweet cherries last season. Thus, the majority of producers and handlers of Washington sweet cherries may be classified as small entities. At its February 28, 2006, meeting the Committee recommended that the container regulations in § 923.322(d) be removed from the order's rules and regulations. Section 923.52(a)(3) of the order specifically authorizes the establishment of container regulations. Further, § 923.53 authorizes the modification, suspension, or termination of regulations issued pursuant to § 923.52. This relaxation in the regulations provides handlers with the ability to meet the rapidly changing wholesale, retail, and consumer demand for innovative product packaging, thus enhancing industry marketing flexibility and efficiency. The Committee anticipates that this rule will not negatively impact small businesses. This rule finalizes the removal of the container requirements found under § 923.322(d) of the order's rules and regulations, and, thus, should provide the industry with greater marketing opportunities. The Committee believes that any additional costs this action may have on the industry would be associated with the development and use of new containers. Such costs would likely be offset by new marketing opportunities. The Committee discussed alternatives to its recommendation to remove the container regulations. The Committee explored the option of leaving the container regulations intact without change. This option was rejected as being an inadequate response to the demand for greater flexibility in the packaging of fresh cherries. Temporary suspension of the regulations was considered, and then discarded, as also being inadequate for the current marketing situation. This rule will not impose any additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements on either small or large cherry handlers. As with all Federal marketing order programs, reports and forms are periodically reviewed to reduce information requirements and duplication by industry and public sector agencies. In addition, USDA has not identified any relevant Federal rules that duplicate, overlap or conflict with this rule. AMS is committed to compliance with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA), which requires Government agencies in general to provide the public the option of submitting information or transacting business electronically to the maximum extent possible. The Committee's meeting was widely publicized throughout the Washington cherry industry and all interested persons were invited to attend the meeting and participate in Committee deliberations. Like all Committee meetings, the February 28, 2006, meeting was a public meeting and all entities, both large and small, were able to express their views on this issue. An interim final rule regarding this action was published in the **Federal Register** on April 10, 2006. Committee staff ensured that copies of the rule were made available to Committee members and Washington sweet cherry industry members. In addition, the rule was made available through the Internet by USDA and the Office of the Federal Register. The interim final rule provided for a 60-day comment period that ended June 9, 2006. No comments were received. A small business guide on complying with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop marketing agreements and orders may be viewed at: *http://www.ams.usda.gov/fv/moab.html* . Any questions about the compliance guide should be sent to Jay Guerber at the previously mentioned address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. After consideration of all relevant material presented, including the Committee's recommendation, and other information, it is found that finalization of the interim final rule, without change, as published in the **Federal Register** (71 FR 17982, April 10, 2006) will tend to effectuate the declared policy of the Act.

Executive Order 12866 The Office of Management and Budget has waived the review process required by Executive Order 12866 for this action. Executive Order 12988 This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule is not intended to have a retroactive effect. This rule would not preempt any State or local laws, regulations, or policies, unless they present an irreconcilable conflict with this rule. The Act provides that administrative proceedings must be exhausted before parties may file suit in court. Under section 14 of the Act, a person subject to an order may file provisions of such Order or any obligations imposed in connection with such Order are not in accordance with law; and requesting a modification of the Order or an exemption there from. Such person is afforded the opportunity for a hearing on the petition. After a hearing, the Secretary would rule on the petition. The Act provides that the district court of the United States in any district in which such person is an inhabitant, or has his principal place of business, has jurisdiction to review the Secretary's ruling on the petition, if a complaint is filed within 20 days after date of the entry of the ruling. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Agricultural Marketing Service has determined that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.* ). The rule imposes no new burden on the industry but merely adjusts area distribution to reflect geographic shifts in production since the last review. In accordance with the provisions of the Act and section 1250.328 of the Order, the area grouping of the 48 contiguous States are to be reviewed by the Board at least every 5 years. Based on the latest review, the Board has recommended adjustment of area distribution to reflect sustained geographic shifts in egg production. Total United States table egg production was 76.98 billion in 2005, representing a 9% increase in exports and continued increases in domestic per capita consumption. There are approximately 260 egg producers required to pay assessments to the Board under the Act. The Act exempts producers owning less than 75,000 laying hens from paying assessments; therefore, the nation's smallest producers are exempt from the program. The Small Business Administration
(SBA)[13 CFR 121.201] defines small agricultural producers as those having receipts of $750,000 or less annually and small agricultural service firms as those having receipts of $6.5 million or less annually. None of the 260 producers subject to the Act are believed to be categorized by the SBA as small agricultural producers. Paperwork Reduction Act Information collection requirements and recordkeeping provisions contained in 7 CFR part 1250 have been previously approved by the Office of Management and Budget and assigned OMB Control No. 0581-0093 under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980. Background and Proposed Change The Egg Research and Promotion Order (7 CFR 1250.301—1250.363) established pursuant to the Egg Research and Consumer Information Act, as amended (7 U.S.C. 2701 *et seq.* ), provides in section 1250.328(d) that any changes in representation on the American Egg Board be determined by the percentage of total U.S. egg production in each of the six geographic areas. The Board has 18 members, and representation in each of the 6 areas is based on egg production in the area. The Order further provides in section 1250.328(e) that the Board or designated person or agency shall conduct periodic reviews of production by geographic area at any time, not to exceed 5 years. This ensures that representation on the Board, insofar as is practicable, is fair and equal. During the development process of the Order in 1975, the 48 contiguous States of the United States and the District of Columbia were divided into 6 geographic areas for purposes of determining proportionate representation on the Board. The areas corresponded with those used by the National Agriculture Statistics Service, USDA. The Order provides in section 1250.328(d) that Board membership in each area be determined by calculating the percentage of U.S. egg production in the area, multiplying that total by 18 (total Board membership), and rounding to the nearest whole number. For the 2003 review, the American Egg Board 2002 production data were reconciled with the 2002 data from USDA to verify the shifts in production trends. The review showed the South Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central, South Central, and Western areas are no longer equitably represented on the Board. Therefore, the Board submitted a recommendation to the Secretary in accordance with section 1250.328(e) of the Order to redistrict the six areas. The following changes will be made accordingly: State Composition Current Revisions I—North Atlantic Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, District of Columbia None. II—South Atlantic Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee Add Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma; Remove Kentucky, Tennessee. III—East North Central Indiana, Michigan, Ohio Add Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee; Remove Indiana. IV—West North Central Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin Add Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Montana, Wyoming; Remove Iowa, Nebraska. V—South Central Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas Add Iowa, Nebraska; Remove Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas. VI—Western Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming Add New Mexico, Texas; Remove Idaho, Montana, Wyoming. The change is based on production in the redistricted areas and application of the formula in section 1250.328(d) of the Order that states that changes to the Board shall be accomplished by determining the percentage of United States egg production in each area times 18 (total Board membership) and rounding to the nearest whole number, as follows: Redistricted area Reported cases % of total production % of total production times 18 Board membership 1 I—North Atlantic 41,440,000 15.26 2.75 3 II—South Atlantic 39,900,000 14.70 2.65 3 III—East North Central 43,980,000 16.20 2.92 3 IV—West North Central 47,670,000 17.56 3.16 3 V—South Central 50,100,000 18.45 3.32 3 VI—Western 48,400,000 17.83 3.21 3 Total U.S. Production 271,490,000 100 18.01 18 1 Based on rounding to the nearest whole number [§ 1250.328(d)]. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, it is also found and determined upon good cause that it is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest to give preliminary notice prior to putting this rule into effect and that good cause exists for not postponing the effective date of this rule until 30 days after publication in the **Federal Register** because the Board adjustment provided for in this interim final rule needs to be effective as soon as possible in order to complete 2007-2008 Board appointments. List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 1250 Administrative practice and procedure, Advertising, Agricultural research, Eggs and egg products, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. For the reasons set forth in the preamble, Title 7, CFR part 1250 is amended as follows: PART 1250—EGG RESEARCH AND PROMOTION 1. The authority citation for part 1250 continues to read as follows: Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2701-2718 and 7 U.S.C. 7401. 2. Section 1250.510 is revised to read as follows: § 1250.510 Determination of Board Membership.
(a)Pursuant to § 1250.328
(d)and
(e)of the Order, the 48 contiguous States of the United States shall be grouped into 6 geographic areas, as follows: Area 1 (North Atlantic States)—Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia; Area 2 (South Atlantic States)—Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina; Area 3 (East North Central States)—Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee; Area 4 (West North Central States)—Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Wyoming; Area 5 (South Central States)—Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska; Area 6 (Western States)—Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington.
(b)Board representation among the 6 geographic areas is apportioned to reflect the percentages of United States egg production in each area times 18 (total Board membership). The distribution of members of the Board is: Area 1-3, Area 2-3, Area 3-3, Area 4-3, Area 5-3, and Area 6-3. Each member will have an alternate appointed from the same area. Dated: July 18, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On December 28, 2005, the FAA published in the **Federal Register** a notice of proposed rulemaking to revise Class E airspace at Kalispell, MT (71 FR 16250). This action would provide additional controlled airspace for the safety of IFR aircraft executing the published ILS approach procedures to the newly extended runway at Kalispell/Glacier Park International Airport, Kalispell, MT. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9O, effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in that Order. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by revising Class E airspace at Kalispell, MT. Additional controlled airspace is necessary for the safety of IFR aircraft executing the published ILS approach procedures to the newly extended runway at Kalispell/Glacier Park International Airport, Kalispell, MT. The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this regulation:
(1)Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866;
(2)is not a “significant rule” under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and
(3)does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

(202)267-8783. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On May 11, 2006, the FAA published in the **Federal Register** a notice of proposed rulemaking to modify the Norton Sound Low offshore airspace area in Alaska (71 FR 27430). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. In the notice of proposed rulemaking the description was described from west to north/east to south. In the final rule the description is reversed and described from west to south/east to north for the ease of digitizing the description. With the exception of this editorial change, this amendment is the same as that published in the notice. Offshore Airspace Areas are published in paragraph 6007 of FAA Order 7400.9O dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Offshore Airspace Areas listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The Rule This action amends to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 modifying the Norton Sound Low Offshore Airspace Area, AK, by lowering the floor to 1,200 feet MSL within a 30-mile radius of two geographic points near the Shishmaref Airport, AK. Additionally, this action lowers the controlled airspace floor to 700 feet MSL within a 25-mile radius of the Nome Airport and to 1,200 feet MSL within a 77.4-mile radius of the Nome VORTAC. The purpose of this action is to establish controlled airspace to support IFR operations at the Nome and Shishmaref Airports, Alaska. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet and 1,200 feet MSL above the surface in international airspace is created by this action. The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this regulation:
(1)Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866;
(2)is not a “significant rule” under Department of Transportation
(DOT)Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and
(3)does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. ICAO Considerations As part of this rule relates to navigable airspace outside the United States, this notice is submitted in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO)International Standards and Recommended Practices. The application of International Standards and Recommended Practices by the FAA, Office of System Operations Airspace and AIM, Airspace & Rules, in areas outside the United States domestic airspace, is governed by the Convention on International Civil Aviation. Specifically, the FAA is governed by Article 12 and Annex 11, which pertain to the establishment of necessary air navigational facilities and services to promote the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of civil air traffic. The purpose of Article 12 and Annex 11 is to ensure that civil aircraft operations on international air routes are performed under uniform conditions. The International Standards and Recommended Practices in Annex 11 apply to airspace under the jurisdiction of a contracting state, derived from ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when air traffic services are provided and a contracting state accepts the responsibility of providing air traffic services over high seas or in airspace of undetermined sovereignty. A contracting state accepting this responsibility may apply the International Standards and Recommended Practices that are consistent with standards and practices utilized in its domestic jurisdiction. In accordance with Article 3 of the Convention, state-owned aircraft are exempt from the Standards and Recommended Practices of Annex 11. The United States is a contracting state to the Convention. Article 3(d) of the Convention provides that participating state aircraft will be operated in international airspace with due regard for the safety of civil aircraft. Since this action involves, in part, the designation of navigable airspace outside the United States, the Administrator was consulted with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 10854.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations. SUMMARY: The Commander, First Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the AMTRAK Pelham Bay Bridge, across the Hutchinson River, mile 0.5, at New York City, New York. This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed position from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on July 23, 30, August 13, 20, and 27, 2006. This deviation is necessary to facilitate scheduled bridge maintenance. DATES: This deviation is effective from July 23, 2006 through August 27, 2006. ADDRESSES: Materials referred to in this document are available for inspection or copying at the First Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch Office, One South Street, New York, New York, 10004, between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The telephone number is
(212)668-7165. The First Coast Guard District Bridge Branch Office maintains the public docket for this temporary deviation. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judy Leung-Yee, Project Officer, First Coast Guard District, at
(212)668-7165. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The AMTRAK Pelham Bay Bridge, across the Hutchinson River, mile 0.5, at New York City, New York, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 8 feet at mean high water and 15 feet at mean low water. The existing regulation, 33 CFR 117.793, requires the bridge to open on demand. The owner of the bridge, National Railroad Passenger Corporation (AMTRAK), requested a temporary deviation to facilitate scheduled structural bridge repairs, replacement of the track and tread plates. In order to perform the above repairs the bridge must remain in the closed position. Under this temporary deviation the AMTRAK Pelham Bay Bridge across the Hutchinson River, mile 0.5, at New York City, New York, need not open for the passage of vessel traffic from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on July 23, 30, August 13, 20, and 27, 2006. Vessels that can pass under the draw without a bridge opening may do so at all times. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c), this work will be performed with all due speed in order to return the bridge to normal operation as soon as possible. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. Dated: July 14, 2006. Gary Kassof, Bridge Program Manager, First Coast Guard District. [FR Doc. E6-11729 Filed 7-21-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-15-P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Coast Guard 33 CFR Part 117 [CGD01-06-093] Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Thames River, New London, CT AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations. SUMMARY: The Commander, First Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the Amtrak Bridge, across the Thames River, mile 3.0, at New London, Connecticut. This deviation, in effect from July 14, 2006 through September 11, 2006, allows the bridge to remain in the closed position except during specific time periods when the bridge will remain open for the passage of vessel traffic. This deviation is necessary to facilitate unscheduled bridge repairs. DATES: This deviation is effective from July 14, 2006 through September 11, 2006. ADDRESSES: Materials referred to in this document are available for inspection or copying at the First Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch Office, One South Street, New York, New York, 10004, between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The telephone number is
(212)668-7165. The First Coast Guard District Bridge Branch Office maintains the public docket for this temporary deviation. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judy Leung-Yee, Project Officer, First Coast Guard District, at
(212)668-7165. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Amtrak Bridge, across the Thames River, mile 3.0, at New London, Connecticut, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 30 feet at mean high water and 33 feet at mean low water. The existing regulation is listed at 33 CFR 117.224. The owner of the bridge, National Railroad Passenger Corporation (AMTRAK), requested a temporary deviation to facilitate unscheduled structural bridge repairs. On June 29, 2006, the bridge owner discovered that one of the main bridge piers had shifted as a result of pile driving for the new adjacent Amtrak Bridge. In order to perform corrective repairs, minimize structural impingement, and continue to provide for rail traffic, the bridge must remain in the closed position except during specific time periods during which the bridge will remain in the full open position for the passage of vessel traffic. Therefore, under this temporary deviation in effect from July 14, 2006 through September 11, 2006, the Amtrak Bridge across the Thames River, mile 3.0, at New London, Connecticut, shall remain in the full open position for the passage of vessel traffic as follows: *Monday through Friday:* 5 a.m. to 5:40 a.m.; 11:20 a.m. to 11:55 a.m.; 3:34 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.; and 8:30 p.m. to 8:57 p.m. *Saturday:* 8:30 a.m. to 9:10 a.m.; 12:36 p.m. to 1:05 p.m.; 3:40 p.m. to 4:10 p.m.; 5:34 p.m. to 6:07 p.m.; and 7:33 p.m. to 8:40 p.m. *Sunday:* 8:30 a.m. to 9:20 a.m.; 11:35 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.; 1:27 p.m. to 1:55 p.m.; 6:27 p.m. to 7:13 p.m.; and 8:28 p.m. to 9:16 p.m. At all other times the draw shall remain in the closed position. Vessels that can pass under the draw without a bridge opening may do so at all times. The bridge owner did not provide the required thirty-day notice to the Coast Guard for this deviation; however, this deviation was approved because the repairs are necessary repairs that must be performed with undue delay in order to assure the continued safe reliable operation of the bridge. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c), this work will be performed with all due speed in order to return the bridge to normal operation as soon as possible. Should the bridge maintenance authorized by this temporary deviation be completed before the end of the effective period published in this notice, the Coast Guard will rescind the remainder of this temporary deviation, and the bridge shall be returned to its normal operating schedule. Notice of the above action shall be provided to the public in the Local Notice to Mariners and the **Federal Register** , where practicable. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35(b). Dated: July 14, 2006. Gary Kassof, Bridge Program Manager, First Coast Guard District. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Final rule; Notice of administrative change. SUMMARY: EPA is publishing this action to provide the public with notice of the update to the Tennessee State Implementation Plan
(SIP)compilation. In particular, materials submitted by Tennessee that are incorporated by reference
(IBR)into the Tennessee SIP are being updated to reflect EPA-approved revisions to Tennessee's SIP that have occurred since the last update. In this action EPA is also notifying the public of the correction of certain typographical errors. DATES: This action is effective July 24, 2006. ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations: Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, GA 30303; the EPA, Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, Air Docket (6102), 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room B102, Washington, DC 20460, and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-6030, or go to: *http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html* . FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Stacy DiFrank at the above Region 4 address or at
(404)562-9042. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each state has a SIP containing the control measures and strategies used to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as air pollution control regulations, emission inventories, monitoring networks, attainment demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms. Each state must formally adopt the control measures and strategies in the SIP after the public has had an opportunity to comment on them and then submit the SIP to EPA. Once these control measures and strategies are approved by EPA, after notice and comment, they are incorporated into the federally approved SIP and are identified in part 52 “Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans,” Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR part 52). The full text of the state regulation approved by EPA is not reproduced in its entirety in 40 CFR part 52, but is “incorporated by reference.” This means that EPA has approved a given state regulation with a specific effective date. The public is referred to the location of the full text version should they want to know which measures are contained in a given SIP. The information provided allows EPA and the public to monitor the extent to which a state implements a SIP to attain and maintain the NAAQS and to take enforcement action if necessary. The SIP is a living document which the state can revise as necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in the state. Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised regulations as being part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997, (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by reference, into the Code of Federal Regulations, materials submitted by states in their EPA-approved SIP revisions. These changes revised the format for the identification of the SIP in 40 CFR part 52, stream-lined the mechanisms for announcing EPA approval of revisions to a SIP, and stream-lined the mechanisms for EPA's updating of the IBR information contained for each SIP in 40 CFR part 52. The revised procedures also called for EPA to maintain “SIP Compilations” that contain the federally-approved regulations and source specific permits submitted by each state agency. These SIP Compilations are contained in 3-ring binders and are updated primarily on an annual basis. Under the revised procedures, EPA is to periodically publish an informational document in the rules section of the **Federal Register** when updates are made to a SIP Compilation for a particular state. EPA's 1997 revised procedures were formally applied to Tennessee on June 30, 1999 (64 FR 35009). This action represents EPA's publication of the Tennessee SIP Compilation update, appearing in 40 CFR part 52. In addition, notice is provided of the following typographical corrections to Table 1 of § 52.2220, as described below, and modifying the IBR Table format of Table 1. 1. Correcting typographical errors listed in Table 1 of § 52.2220(c), as described below: A. Change in **Federal Register** citations to reflect the beginning page of the preamble as opposed to that of the regulatory text. B. Chapter 1200-3-5-.03 title is revised to read “Method of Evaluating and Recording.” C. Chapter 1200-3-5-.11 EPA approved date is corrected to read “07/16/02.” D. Chapter 1200-3-9-.05, “Appeal of Permit Application Denials and Permit Conditions,” is changed to Chapter 1200-3-9-.06, and a new Chapter 1200-3-8-.05 is added and “Reserved.” EPA has determined that today's action falls under the “good cause” exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA)which, upon finding “good cause,” authorizes agencies to dispense with public participation, and section 553(d)(3), which allows an agency to make an action effective immediately (thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). Today's administrative action simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved state programs and corrects typographical errors appearing in the **Federal Register** . Under section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are “impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” Public comment for this administrative action is “unnecessary” and “contrary to the public interest” since the codification (and typographical corrections) only reflect existing law. Immediate notice of this action in the **Federal Register** benefits the public by providing the public notice of the updated Tennessee SIP Compilation and notice of typographical corrections to the Tennessee “Identification of Plan” portion of the **Federal Register** . Statutory and Executive Order Reviews A. General Requirements Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this administrative action is not a “significant regulatory action” and is therefore not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, “Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use” (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. Because the Agency has made a “good cause” finding that this action is not subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the APA or any other statute as indicated in the Supplementary Information section above, it is not subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.* ), or to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA)of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4). In addition, this action does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments or impose a significant intergovernmental mandate, as described in sections 203 and 204 of UMRA. This administrative action also does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This administrative action also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant. This administrative action does not involve technical standards, thus the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. The administrative action also does not involve special consideration of environmental justice related issues as required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This administrative action does not impose an information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ). EPA's compliance with these Statutes and Executive Orders for the underlying rules are discussed in previous actions taken on the State's rules. B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General The Congressional Review Act
(CRA)(5 U.S.C. 801 *et seq.* ), as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. Today's administrative action simply codifies (and corrects) provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved state programs. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). These announced actions were effective when EPA approved them through previous rulemaking actions. EPA will submit a report containing this action and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of this action in the **Federal Register** . This update to Tennessee's SIP Compilation and correction of typographical errors is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). C. Petitions for Judicial Review EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable to this action. This action is simply an announcement of prior rulemakings that have previously undergone notice and comment rulemaking. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component of the Tennessee SIP compilation previously afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action.

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. SUMMARY: NMFS announces the closure of the Nantucket Lightship Scallop Access Area
(NLCA)to scallop vessels until June 15, 2007. This closure, effective 0001 hours on July 20, 2006, is based on a determination by the Northeast Regional Administrator
(RA)that scallop vessels may attain the yellowtail flounder
(YT)bycatch total allowable catch
(TAC)for the NLCA on July 20, 2006. This action is being taken to prevent the scallop fleet from exceeding the YT bycatch TAC allocated to the NLCA for the 2006 scallop fishing year in accordance with the regulations implementing the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (FMP), Northeast
(NE)Multispecies FMP and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. DATES: The closure of the NLCA to all scallop vessels is effective 0001 hr local time, July 20, 2006, until June 15, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ryan Silva, Fishery Management Specialist,
(978)281-9326, fax
(978)281-9135. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Commercial scallop vessels fishing in access areas are allocated 9.8-percent of the annual YT TACs established in the Northeast
(NE)Multispecies FMP. Given current fishing effort by scallop vessels in the NLCA, the RA has made a determination that the NLCA YT TAC is projected to be attained on July 20, 2006. Pursuant to 50 CFR 648.60(a)(5)(ii)(C) and 648.85(c)(3)(ii), this **Federal Register** action notifies scallop vessel owners that, effective 0001 hours on July 20, 2006, scallop vessels are prohibited from declaring or initiating a trip into the NLCA until June 15, 2007. If a vessel with a limited access scallop permit has an unused trip(s) into the NLCA, it will be allocated 4.9 additional open areas days-at-sea
(DAS)for each unused trip. If a vessel has an unused compensation trip(s), it is allocated additional open area DAS based on estimated catch rates for the NLCA. The conversion rate from access area DAS to open area DAS for the NLCA is 0.41 per open area DAS. An access area DAS is equal to 1,500 lbs. A separate letter will be sent to notify vessel owners of their allocations for unused complete and/or compensation trips in the NLCA. Classification This action is required by 50 CFR part 648 and is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866. This action closes NLCA to scallop vessels until June 15, 2007. The regulations at 50 CFR 648.59(a)(5)(ii)(C) and 648.85(c)(3)(ii) require such action to ensure that scallop vessels do not take more YT than set aside for the scallop fishery. The NLCA opened for the 2006 fishing year on June 15, 2006. Data indicating the scallop fleet has taken, or is projected to take, all of the NLCA YT TAC has only recently become available. To allow scallop vessels to continue to take trips in the NLCA during the period necessary to publish and receive comments on a proposed rule would result in vessels taking much more YT than allocated to the scallop fleet. Excessive YT harvest from the NLCA would result in excessive fishing effort on the Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic YT stock, where tight effort controls are critical for the rebuilding program. Should excessive fishing effort occur, future management measures may need to be more restrictive. Based on the above, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), proposed rule making is waived because it would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest to allow a period for public comment. Furthermore, for the same reasons, there is good cause under 5 U.S.C 553(d)(3) to waive the 30-day delayed effectiveness period for this action. Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 *et seq.* Dated: July 18, 2006. Alan D. Risenhoover, Acting Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
