Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: We are amending the regulations to remove vapor heat treatment as an approved treatment for bell pepper, eggplant, Italian squash, and tomato moved interstate from Hawaii. This action is necessary because these four commodities can serve as hosts for the solanum fruit fly, which has been detected in Hawaii. Vapor heat treatment is not an approved treatment for that pest. We are also providing for the use of irradiation as an approved treatment for all *Capsicum* spp.
(peppers) and *Cucurbita* spp. (squash) moved interstate from Hawaii. This action will relieve unnecessary restrictions on the interstate movement of peppers and squash and allow a greater variety of *Capsicum* spp. and *Cucurbita* spp. to be moved interstate from Hawaii. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 26, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David B. Lamb, Import Specialist, Commodity Import Analysis and Operations, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236;
(301)734-8758. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Hawaiian fruits and vegetables regulations, contained in 7 CFR 318.13 through 318.13-17 (referred to below as the regulations), govern, among other things, the interstate movement of fruits and vegetables from Hawaii. Regulation is necessary to prevent the spread of dangerous plant diseases and pests that occur in Hawaii. Some fruits and vegetables regulated under the Hawaiian fruits and vegetables regulations are allowed to move interstate if they are treated with an approved treatment for certain plant pests. Lists of approved treatments for these fruits and vegetables and requirements for conducting these treatments are contained in 7 CFR part 305. On October 11, 2006, we published in the **Federal Register** (71 FR 59694-59696, Docket No. APHIS-2006-0027) a proposal 1 to amend the regulations by removing vapor heat treatment as an approved treatment for bell pepper, eggplant, Italian squash, and tomato moved interstate from Hawaii. We proposed this action because these four commodities can serve as hosts for the solanum fruit fly, which has been detected in Hawaii, and vapor heat treatment is not an approved treatment for that pest. We also proposed to provide for the use of irradiation as an approved treatment for all *Capsicum* spp. (peppers) and *Cucurbita* spp. (squash) moved interstate from Hawaii. Treatment with irradiation is approved to neutralize all fruit flies of the family Tephritidae. 1 To view the proposed rule go to *http://www.regulations.gov* , click on the ``Advanced Search'' tab, and select ``Docket Search.'' In the Docket ID field, enter APHIS-2006-0027, then click ``Submit.'' Clicking on the Docket ID link in the search results page will produce a list of all documents in the docket. We solicited comments concerning our proposal for 60 days ending December 11, 2006. We did not receive any comments. Therefore, for the reasons given in the proposed rule, we are adopting the proposed rule as a final rule, without change. Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act This final rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12866. The rule has been determined to be not significant for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is in response to a species of fruit fly that has been detected in Hawaii, the solanum fruit fly ( *Bactrocera latifrons* ). Bell peppers, eggplant, Italian squash, and tomatoes are the four commodities for which vapor heat treatment has been an approved treatment that are affected by the solanum fruit fly. Because limited research has been done regarding the effectiveness of vapor heat treatment at neutralizing solanum fruit fly, APHIS is removing vapor heat treatment from the list of approved treatments for bell peppers, eggplant, Italian squash, and tomatoes moved interstate from Hawaii. While vapor heat treatment will no longer be an approved treatment, irradiation is an approved treatment for the interstate movement of bell peppers and Italian squash from Hawaii. We are amending the regulations to approve irradiation as a treatment for all species of the genus *Capsicum* (peppers), not just bell peppers, and all species of the genus *Cucurbita* (squash), not just the Italian squash. APHIS has previously determined that an irradiation dose of 150 gray is sufficient to neutralize all fruit flies that affect *Capsicum* spp. and *Cucurbita* spp. in Hawaii, including the solanum fruit fly. Approximately $15.4 million worth of eggplant, green peppers, Italian squash, Oriental squash, and tomatoes were produced in the State of Hawaii in 2004, amounting to 52 million pounds (table 1). However, none of the eggplant, green peppers, Italian squash, or tomatoes produced in Hawaii in 2004 was moved interstate to the U.S. mainland. According to the Hawaii Department of Agriculture, none of these commodities has been moved interstate from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland within the last 2 years. Table 1.—Production and Value of Hawaiian Eggplant, Peppers, Squash, and Tomatoes, 2004 Commodity Quantity
(lb)Value Eggplant 1,050,000 $809,000 Peppers (Green) 3,200,000 2,208,000 Squash (Italian, Oriental) 2,350,000 1,263,000 Tomatoes 16,800,000 11,088,000 Total 52,200,000 15,368,000 Source: USDA, Hawaii Agricultural Statistics, 2006. The regulations will continue to give Hawaiian entities the opportunity to move *Capsicum* spp. and *Cucurbita* spp. interstate. While vapor heat treatment will no longer be an approved treatment for bell peppers and Italian squash, irradiation will become an approved treatment for all *Capsicum* spp. and *Cucurbita* spp. Irradiation will continue to be an approved treatment for eggplant and tomatoes as well. Accordingly, we do not expect that this rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule is necessary to safeguard the U.S. mainland from the introduction of solanum fruit fly ( *Bactrocera latifrons* ). Because in recent years eggplant, peppers, squash, and tomatoes have not been moved interstate from Hawaii, the rule is not expected to have a significant impact on small or large entities. Under these circumstances, the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Executive Order 12372 This program/activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under No. 10.025 and is subject to Executive Order 12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and local officials. (See 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V.) Executive Order 12988 This final rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule:
(1)Preempts all State and local laws and regulations that are inconsistent with this rule;
(2)has no retroactive effect; and
(3)does not require administrative proceedings before parties may file suit in court challenging this rule. Paperwork Reduction Act This final rule contains no new information collection or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive
(AD)for certain SAP cast cylinder assemblies installed in Teledyne Continental Motors
(TCM)470, 520, and 550 series reciprocating engines, Lycoming Engines
(LE)320, 360, and 540 series reciprocating engines, Avco Lycoming
(AL)540 series reciprocating engines, and Superior Air Parts, Inc.
(SAP)360 series reciprocating engines. This AD requires removing from service certain SAP part numbered (P/N) cast cylinder assemblies installed in TCM, LE, and AL reciprocating engines. This AD also requires removing from service certain cast cylinder assemblies installed as original equipment in SAP reciprocating engines, or in certain overhauled or repaired SAP reciprocating engines. This AD results from nine separated SAP cylinder assemblies in TCM reciprocating engines and one in LE reciprocating engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent cylinder separation that can lead to engine failure, a possible engine compartment fire, and damage to the airplane. DATES: This AD becomes effective March 12, 2007. We must receive any comments on this AD by April 24, 2007.

(817)222-5785. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SAP informed the FAA on July 12, 2006, that at least nine SAP cylinder assemblies installed in TCM 470, 520, and 550 series reciprocating engines and one installed in LE 320, 360, and 540 series reciprocating engines had separated at the cylinder head-to-barrel threaded interface because SAP omitted a heat treat process step during cylinder barrel manufacture. This omission resulted in higher stresses in the cylinder head-to-barrel threaded interface, leading to fatigue cracking and cylinder head separation. The lowest time-in-service
(TIS)for a cylinder assembly known to have separated from this defect is 202 hours TIS. SAP isolated this defect to a specific production lot of 1,354 barrel forgings used as original equipment on SAP O-360 engines and in SAP PMA cylinder assemblies as replacement parts for various TCM, LE, and AL engine models. This AD addresses the barrels used in SAP PMA cylinders installed in the engines listed below.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD The unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other TCM 470, 520, and 550; LE 320, 360, and 540; AL 540, and SAP 360 series reciprocating engines of the same type design with SAP cast cylinder assemblies that have as original equipment, or have been overhauled or repaired using SAP part numbers listed in the table above. For that reason, we are issuing this AD to prevent cylinder separation which can lead to engine failure, a possible engine compartment fire, and damage to the airplane. This AD requires removing from service installed SAP cast cylinder assemblies listed in the table above, no later than 150 hours total TIS to preclude cylinder head fatigue failure and separation at the head-to-barrel threaded interface. FAA's Determination of the Effective Date Since an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD, we have found that notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable, and that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days. Comments Invited This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public comment; however, we invite you to send us any written relevant data, views, or arguments regarding this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under ADDRESSES . Include “AD Docket No. FAA-2006-25948; Directorate Identifier 2006-NE-32-AD” in the subject line of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that might suggest a need to modify it. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to *http://dms.dot.gov,* including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact with FAA personnel concerning this AD. Using the search function of the DMS Web site, anyone can find and read the comments in any of our dockets, including the name of the individual who sent the comment (or signed the comment on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review the DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement in the **Federal Register** published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477-78) or you may visit *http://dms.dot.gov* . Examining the AD Docket You may examine the docket that contains the AD, any comments received, and any final disposition in person at the Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The Docket Office (telephone
(800)647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Department of Transportation Nassif Building at the street address stated in ADDRESSES . Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after the DMS receives them. Authority for This Rulemaking Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority. We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, “General requirements.” Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action. Regulatory Findings We have determined that this AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect 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. *For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:* 1. Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866; 2. Is not a “significant rule” under the DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We prepared a summary of the costs to comply with this AD and placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the address listed under ADDRESSES . List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1.

E7-2985 Filed 2-22-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-13-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 71 [Docket No. FAA-2005-20381; Airspace Docket No. 05-ANM-3] Revision of Class E Airspace; Gillette, WY AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This action will revise the Class E airspace at Gillette, WY. Additional Class E airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using a new Area Navigation
(RNAV)Global Positioning System
(GPS)Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
(SIAP)at Gillette-Campbell County Airport. This will improve the safety of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR)aircraft executing the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Gillette-Campbell County Airport, Gillette, WY. DATES: *Effective Date:* 0901 UTC, May 10, 2007. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed Haeseker, Federal Aviation Administration, Western Service Area, System Support, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA, 98055-4056; telephone
(425)227-2527. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On August 11, 2006, the FAA published in the **Federal Register** a notice of proposed rulemaking to revise Class E airspace at Gillette, WY, (71 FR 46133). This action would improve the safety of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR)aircraft executing this new RNAV GPS approach procedure at Gillette-Campbell County Airport, Gillette WY. 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 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 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 Gillette, WY. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing a new RNAV
(GPS)approach procedure at Gillette-Campbell Airport, Gillette WY. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air). Adoption of the Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows: PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1. The authority citation for 14 CFR part 71 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40103, 40113, 40120; E. O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p. 389. § 71.1 [Amended] 2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1 of the Federal Aviation Administration Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006, is amended as follows: Paragraph 6005.

(425)917-6714. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On October 20, 2006, the FAA published in the **Federal Register** a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at Nucla, CO (71 FR 61922). This action would improve the safety of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR)aircraft executing this new RNAV GPS approach procedure at Hopkins Field, Nucla, CO. 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 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, and 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 establishing Class E airspace at Nucla, CO. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing a new RNAV
(GPS)approach procedure at Hopkins Field, Nucla, CO. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air). Adoption of the Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows: PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1.

No. 466] IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument conditions in the affected areas. DATES: *Effective Date:* 0901 UTC, March 15, 2007.

Pate, Flight Procedure Standards Branch (AMCAFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O.

(405)954-4164. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover points
(COPs)for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as prescribed in part 95. The Rule The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and operational efficiency in the National Airspace System, are related to published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for making the amendment effective in less than 30 days. Conclusion 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. It, therefore—(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. For the same reason, the FAA certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

ACTION: Final rules. SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) has amended Regulation 4.41, which governs advertising by commodity pool operators (CPOs), commodity trading advisors (CTAs), and the principals thereof,
(1)To restrict the use of testimonials,
(2)to clarify the required placement of the prescribed simulated or hypothetical performance disclaimer, and
(3)to include within the regulation's coverage advertisement through electronic media (Amendments). This action is in furtherance of the Commission's longstanding view that all advertisements by CPOs, CTAs, and their principals must not be fraudulent, deceptive or misleading. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 26, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Barbara S. Gold, Associate Director, or Peter B. Sanchez, Staff Attorney, Division of Clearing and Intermediary Oversight, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 1155 21st Street, NW., Washington, DC 20581, telephone numbers:
(202)418-5450 or
(202)418-5237, respectively; facsimile number:
(202)418-5528; and electronic mail: *bgold@cftc.gov* or *psanchez@cftc.gov* , respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background A. Regulation 4.41 Part 4 of the Commission's regulations governs the operations and activities of CPOs and CTAs. 1 In particular, Regulation 4.41 pertains to advertising by CPOs, CTAs, and the principals 2 thereof, an issue first addressed by the Commission over 25 years ago. The Commission originally proposed that CPOs, CTAs, and their principals could not advertise their actual past performance results in a format other than that which the CPO or CTA was required to use in its Disclosure Document, 3 and that the presentation of simulated or hypothetical performance of a CPO, CTA, or the principals thereof would be prohibited. 4 In response to the comments received and its further deliberations on these proposals, the Commission adopted less restrictive advertising regulations. 5 1 17 CFR Part 4 (2006). The Commodity Exchange Act (Act), 7 U.S.C. 1 *et seq.* (2000), and the Commission's regulations issued thereunder may be accessed through the Commission's Web site, at *http://www.cftc.gov/cftc.cftclawreg.htm.* 2 The definition of the term “principal” is set forth in Regulation 4.10(e)(1), which cross-references the definition of the term in Regulation 3.1(a). An example of a principal of a CPO organized as a corporation would be the corporation's chief executive officer. 3 Regulations 4.21 and 4.24-4.26 and 4.31 and 4.34-4.36 concern the Disclosure Document that registered CPOs and CTAs, respectively, must prepare, deliver, and file. 4 45 FR 51600 (Aug. 4, 1980). 5 46 FR 26004 (May 8, 1981). With respect to the presentation of actual past performance, the Commission explained that it had adopted in Regulation 4.41(a) “a rule that leaves to the discretion of the [CPO, CTA, or principal] advertising performance results—whether actual, simulated or hypothetical—the format of that presentation, so long as that format is not false, misleading or deceptive.” 6 With regard to the presentation of simulated or hypothetical performance results, the Commission explained that it had adopted in Regulation 4.41(b) “a rule that allows the presentation of those results, provided that the presentation is accompanied by the statement prescribed in the rule,” whose purpose was “to alert prospective customers to the limitations inherent in simulated and hypothetical past performance results.” 7 The Commission also noted the scope of new Regulation 4.41—that it applied to both oral and written communications and regardless of whether a CPO or a CTA was exempt from registration under the Act. 8 6 While acknowledging that it was not possible to identify every advertisement that was prohibited by new Regulation 4.41, the Commission nonetheless gave notice in the **Federal Register** release announcing the adoption of the rule that it would consider the following, non-exclusive list of advertisements, to be prohibited:
(1)References only to successful trades, if during the same time period, trades which were unsuccessful were also recommended or executed;
(2)references to the results during a specific time period, if the results claimed were not fairly representative of results achieved for comparable periods;
(3)suggestions, assurances or claims of profit potential that do not also fairly present the possibility of loss;
(4)statements of opinions or predictions which are not clearly labeled as such or which have no reasonable basis in fact; and
(5)failure to disclose whether, and to what extent, fees, commissions and other expenses are reflected in the past performance results. *Id.* at 26012. 7 *Id.* 8 Section 4m(1) of the Act, 7 U.S.C. 6m(1) (2000), generally requires the registration of CPOs and CTAs. Regulation 4.13 provides exemptions from CPO registration for certain persons, and Sections 4m(1) and 4m(3) and Regulation 4.14 provide exemptions from CTA registration for certain other persons. B. The Proposal Based upon its experience with the operation of Regulation 4.41 over the course of the past 25 years, on August 23, 2006, the Commission published for comment proposed amendments to the regulation (Proposing Release). 9 Specifically, the Commission proposed to amend Regulation 4.41:
(1)To restrict the use of testimonials;
(2)to clarify the required placement of the prescribed simulated or hypothetical performance disclaimer; and
(3)to include within the regulation's coverage advertisement through electronic media (Proposal). 9 71 FR 49387. The Proposing Release may be accessed through the Commission's Web site, at *http://www.cftc.gov/files/foia/fedreg06/foi060823a.pdf.* C. The Comments on the Proposal The Commission received six comment letters in response to the Proposal, as follows: 10 one from a registered futures association; one from a bar association; one from a futures industry trade association; and three from unregistered CTAs. 11 The first three commenters supported the Proposal, stating that it would further the goals of Regulation 4.41. The CTAs, however, questioned the Commission's authority to adopt and maintain Regulation 4.41 altogether. 10 The comments on the Proposal similarly may be accessed through the Commission's Web site, at *http://www.cftc.gov/foia/comment06/foi06—005_1.htm* . 11 It appears that each of these CTAs is exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation 4.14(a)(9), which provides an exemption from registration for a CTA who does not direct client accounts or who does not provide commodity interest trading advice based on, or tailored to, the commodity interest or cash market positions or other circumstances or characteristics of particular clients. Specifically, they objected to Regulation 4.41 on the grounds that it violates the First Amendment as applied to some CTAs. However, as the Commission explained in the Proposing Release, false, deceptive or misleading commercial speech is not protected by the First Amendment, and disclosure requirements to ensure that commercial speech is not false, deceptive or misleading are a constitutionally permissible form of regulation. 12 Thus, the Commission continues to believe that, because Regulation 4.41 applies to forms of communication used by CTAs and CPOs for marketing their services, the regulation is subject to the constitutional standards for commercial speech and it complies with those standards. 12 71 FR at 49389, citing *Zauderer* v. *Office of Disciplinary Counsel* , 471 U.S. 626, 638 (1985), and *Pearson* v. *Shalala* , 164 F.3d 650, 655 (D.C. Cir. 1999). In light of the foregoing and the specific comments the Commission received on the Proposal, which are discussed more fully below, the Commission is adopting the revisions to Regulation 4.41 as proposed. In the Proposing Release, the Commission provided a detailed explanation of each revision it had proposed to make. Accordingly, the scope of this **Federal Register** release generally is restricted to responding to the comments received on the Proposal. The Commission invites interested persons to read the Proposing Release for a fuller discussion of the purpose of each of the amendments contained in the Proposal. II. Responses to the Comments A. New Regulation 4.41(a)(3): Testimonials on Actual Past Performance of CPOs, CTAs, and Their Principals As proposed and as adopted, Regulation 4.41(a)(3) requires advertisements of the actual past performance of a CPO, CTA, or a principal thereof that refer to a testimonial to prominently disclose specified information about the testimonial— *e.g.* , that it may not be representative of the experience of other clients. As the Commission noted, it modeled this provision upon Rule 2210(d)(2) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), which sets similar limits on the use of testimonials in advertisements and other marketing materials applicable to NASD members— *i.e.* , persons who are registered as securities broker-dealers under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (BDs). 13 13 71 FR at 49388 n.9. One commenter questioned why the Commission proposed to regulate the use of testimonials along the lines of the NASD requirement for BDs, as opposed to adopting an outright prohibition against their use—as the Securities and Exchange Commission has done with respect to persons registered or required to be registered as investment advisers. 14 The same commenter asked the Commission to explain its rationale for how it approached the use of testimonials— *e.g.* , whether the Commission had based its approach on problems the Commission had observed or on requests for clarification from CPOs and CTAs. 14 *See* 17 CFR 275.206(4)-1(a)(1) (2006). The purpose of this amendment, as with all of the Amendments, is to “modernize and clarify” the Commission's regulations concerning communications with the public—which was the same purpose of the NASD in proposing its Rule 2210(d)(2). 15 While the Commission based this amendment on the observations of its staff, those observations were not of a nature so as to justify the adoption of an outright ban on testimonials at this time. In addition, the Commission notes that, as proposed and as adopted, Regulation 4.41(a)(3) applies to *all* CPOs and CTAs, not solely to those CPOs and CTAs subject to registration. 15 *See* 68 FR 27116 at 27117 (May 19, 2003). B. Amended Regulation 4.41(b): The Statement That Must Accompany Simulated or Hypothetical Performance of CPOs, CTAs, and Their Principals 1. Regulation 4.41(b)(1): The Text of the Statement Regulation 4.41(b)(1) prohibits the presentation of simulated or hypothetical performance results of a CPO, CTA, or principal thereof unless that presentation is accompanied by either:
(1)The statement prescribed by the regulation; or
(2)a statement prescribed by a registered futures association. The National Futures Association
(NFA)currently is the sole registered futures association, and it has prescribed such a statement in its Compliance Rule 2-29(c). 16 As proposed, the Commission has amended Regulation 4.41(b)(1) so as to clarify the meaning of the term “accompanied by” in the context of the statement prescribed by the regulation. 17 16 All of NFA's rules can be accessed through NFA's Web site, *www.nfa.futures.org.* 17 The Commission additionally has conformed the reference to performance in the statement to the references throughout Regulation 4.41(b), so the statement now refers to “simulated or hypothetical” performance (whereas previously it referred to “hypothetical or simulated” performance). One of the commenters on the Proposal questioned the need for alternative statements under the regulation. In response, the Commission notes that the availability of alternative statements provides a meaningful option for compliance with the regulation. Indeed, in the more than ten years following NFA's adoption of Compliance Rule 2-29(c), 18 the Commission has not been made aware of any compliance or other issues arising from the existence of alternative cautionary statements in Regulation 4.41(b)(1). 19 Accordingly, the Commission has not adopted the recommendation of this commenter that it abandon its own prescribed statement in favor of the prescribed NFA statement. 18 *See* NFA Notice to Members, Notice I-95-24 (Dec. 28, 1995). 19 The Commission also notes that the use of alternative cautionary statements is not restricted to the presentation of simulated or hypothetical performance results. Commission Regulation 1.55(b) sets forth the risk disclosure statement to be made to customers by futures commission merchants
(FCMs)and introducing brokers (IBs). Regulation 1.55(a) provides, however, that the Commission may approve a risk disclosure statement authorized by one or more foreign regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations. In 1994, the Commission approved the use of an alternative risk disclosure for use by FCMs and IBs for trading in futures and options in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. 59 FR 34376 (Jul. 5, 1994). The Commission similarly is unaware of any compliance or other problems arising from the existence of such dual general risk disclosures. Two commenters recommended that the Commission adopt an exception to its prescribed statement where advertisements are directed solely to persons who meet the definition of “qualified eligible person”
(QEP)in Commission Regulation 4.7. 20 They claimed adoption of such an exception would be consistent with NFA Compliance Rule 2-29(c)(6). However, based upon its review of the record of the adoption of the NFA rule, the Commission has concluded that the NFA rule does not provide for any such exception. 20 Regulation 4.7 makes relief from otherwise applicable disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping requirements available to registered CPOs and CTAs whose participants and clients are solely QEPs— *e.g.* , certain Commission and SEC registrants, “knowledgeable employees” and “qualified purchasers,” and accredited investors who have investments with an aggregate market value of $2 million. In its Notice to Members announcing the adoption of amendments to, and a formal interpretation of, Compliance Rule 2-29(c), NFA stated: Compliance Rule 2-29(c) and the Interpretative Notice do not apply to promotional materials directed exclusively to [QEPs] as defined in CFTC Regulation 4.7. However, CFTC Regulation 4.41(b) requires CPOs and CTAs to provide *all* potential pool participants or clients with either the disclaimer in NFA Compliance Rule 2-29(c) or the shorter disclaimer in CFTC Regulation 4.41(b)(1)(i) *if they are using hypothetical performance results.* Therefore, promotional materials directed to QEPs by CPOs and CTAs should continue to include the disclaimer in CFTC Regulation 4.41(b)(i) (unless they include the disclaimer in Compliance Rule 2-29(c)) (emphasis in the original). 21 21 *See supra* n. 18. This NFA advice was issued pursuant to the Commission's letter approving the amendments and interpretation, which stated: Under recently-amended Commission Regulation 4.41, persons who present commodity interest hypothetical trading results in their promotional material must include in such materials either the disclaimer specified in Commission Regulation 4.41(b)(1)(i) or a disclaimer which complies with the rules promulgated by a registered futures association pursuant to Section 17(j) of the Act. Accordingly, NFA should inform its members that while new NFA Compliance Rule 2-29(c)(4) would not require members to provide [QEPs] with any disclaimer under Rule 2-29, members would be required to provide QEPs with a disclaimer pursuant to Commission Regulation 4.41(b)(1)(i). Letter from Jean A. Webb, Secretary of the Commission, to Daniel J. Roth, NFA's General Counsel, dated Dec. 12, 1995. Moreover, given the nature of simulated or hypothetical performance results, the Commission does not believe that it is appropriate to extend the approach of fewer disclosures to QEPs in this instance. Due to their financial sophistication and/or wealth, QEPs may justifiably be presumed to be better equipped to obtain information regarding industry professionals and to scrutinize the risks and rewards for particular investments. However, it is not clear that QEPs, solely by virtue of their being QEPs, are able to identify each instance in which otherwise unexplained performance results are simulated or hypothetical. Accordingly, the Commission has not adopted the recommendation of these commenters. 2. Regulation 4.41(b)(2): The Meaning of “In Immediate Proximity” Regulation 4.41(b)(2) requires that the statement prescribed by Regulation 4.41(b)(1) be “prominently disclosed” if the simulated or hypothetical performance that is presented is other than oral. In order to make clear that simulated or hypothetical performance is clearly identified as such, as proposed and as adopted, Regulation 4.41(b)(2) specifies that the prescribed disclaimer also must be “in immediate proximity to the simulated or hypothetical performance being presented.” One commenter suggested that the proposed amendment lacked specificity as to the term “in immediate proximity.” The commenter requested that the Commission either define the term “in immediate proximity” or provide examples of how compliance with that requirement would be assessed in practice. In determining what constitutes “in immediate proximity” for the purpose of Regulation 4.41(b), the Commission does not believe that a bright-line test is practical for all circumstances. Rather, the Commission believes that, in determining what would constitute “in immediate proximity” to the simulated or hypothetical performance being advertised, the person providing the prescribed statement should use its best judgment. If it would be clear to someone viewing the simulated or hypothetical performance results that the statement is intended to refer to those particular performance results, then the statement would be “in immediate proximity” to the performance results. 22 Thus, placing the statement on the cover page of a document would not be sufficient, because it would be on a different page from the simulated or hypothetical performance being shown. Similarly, if simulated or hypothetical performance results appear on several pages, the statement should appear on a sufficient number of pages so as to leave no doubt as to the nature of the performance results as they appear on each of those several pages. 22 Additional guidance regarding unacceptable practices can be gleaned from past enforcement actions concerning violations of Section 4 *o* of the Act and Regulation 4.41. *See,* *e.g.* , *CFTC* v. *Vartuli* , 228 F.3d 94 (2d Cir. 2000) (prescribed statement appears on a separate page from the hypothetical trading results), and *CFTC* v. *Heffernan* , 245 F.Supp.2d 1276 (S.D. Ga. 2003) (statement on a webpage, but not included in the original advertisement containing the hypothetical performance). II. Related Matters A. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA)23 requires that agencies, in proposing regulations, consider the impact of those regulations on small businesses. The Commission has previously established certain definitions of “small entities” to be used by the Commission in evaluating the impact of its regulations on such entities in accordance with the RFA. 24 23 5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.* 24 47 FR 18618 (Apr. 30, 1982). With respect to CTAs, the Commission has previously stated that it would evaluate within the context of a particular rule proposal whether all or some affected CTAs would be considered to be small entities and, if so, the economic impact on them of the proposal. 25 Moreover, the Commission stated that CPOs would be considered small entities if they are exempt from registration by virtue of Regulation 4.13(a). 26 The Commission does not believe that the Amendments will have a significant impact on affected CTAs, CPOs, and their principals. This is because the only burden that will be imposed by the Amendments will be in furtherance of the obligation to comply with the antifraud provisions of Section 4 *o* of the Act when presenting the past performance of CTAs, CPOs, and their principals—whether by way of actual, simulated or hypothetical performance or through the use of testimonials. Assuming *arguendo* , however, that compliance with Section 4 *o* will constitute a significant burden, the burden is neither new nor additional, because the Amendments are consistent with the Commission's longstanding interpretation of Section 4 *o* as applicable to all advertisements by CTAs, CPOs, and their principals, including advertisements that are viewed electronically, and with the requirement that such advertisements must not be false or misleading. 25 *Id.* at 18620. 26 *Id* . The Commission did not receive any comments relative to its analysis of the application of the RFA to the Proposal. B. Paperwork Reduction Act The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA)27 imposes certain requirements on Federal agencies (including the Commission) in connection with their conducting or sponsoring any collection of information as defined by the PRA. The Amendments do not require a new collection of information on the part of any entities. 27 44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* The Commission did not receive any comments relative to its analysis of the application of the PRA to the Proposal. C. Cost-Benefit Analysis Section 15(a) of the Act 28 requires the Commission to consider the costs and benefits of its action before issuing a new regulation under the Act. By its terms, Section 15(a) does not require the Commission to quantify the costs and benefits of a new regulation or to determine whether the benefits of the proposed regulation outweigh its costs. Rather, Section 15(a) simply requires the Commission to “consider the costs and benefits” of its action. 28 7 U.S.C. 19(a) (2000). Section 15(a) further specifies that costs and benefits shall be evaluated in light of five broad areas of market and public concern: Protection of market participants and the public; efficiency, competitiveness, and financial integrity of futures markets; price discovery; sound risk management practices; and other public interest considerations. Accordingly, the Commission could in its discretion give greater weight to any one of the five enumerated areas and could in its discretion determine that, notwithstanding its costs, a particular regulation was necessary or appropriate to protect the public interest or to effectuate any of the provisions or to accomplish any of the purposes of the Act. The Commission did not receive any comments relative to its cost-benefit analysis of the Proposal.

E7-3122 Filed 2-22-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6351-01-P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Bureau of Customs and Border Protection 19 CFR Part 123 Advance Electronic Presentation of Cargo Information for Truck Carriers Required To Be Transmitted Through ACE Truck Manifest at Ports in the States of Michigan and New York AGENCY: Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 343(a) of the Trade Act of 2002 and implementing regulations, truck carriers and other eligible parties are required to transmit advance electronic truck cargo information to the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection
(CBP)through a CBP-approved electronic data interchange. In a previous notice, CBP designated the Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE)Truck Manifest System as the approved interchange and announced that the requirement that advance electronic cargo information be transmitted through ACE would be phased in by groups of ports of entry. This notice announces that at all land border ports in Michigan and New York, truck carriers will be required to file electronic manifests through the ACE Truck Manifest System. DATES: Trucks entering the United States through land border ports of entry in the states of Michigan and New York will be required to transmit the advance information through the ACE Truck Manifest system effective May 24, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. James Swanson, via e-mail at *james.d.swanson@dhs.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Section 343(a) of the Trade Act of 2002, as amended (the Act; 19 U.S.C. 2071 note), required that CBP promulgate regulations providing for the mandatory transmission of electronic cargo information by way of a CBP-approved electronic data interchange
(EDI)system before the cargo is brought into or departs the United States by any mode of commercial transportation (sea, air, rail or truck). The cargo information required is that which is reasonably necessary to enable high-risk shipments to be identified for purposes of ensuring cargo safety and security and preventing smuggling pursuant to the laws enforced and administered by CBP. On December 5, 2003, CBP published in the **Federal Register** (68 FR 68140) a final rule to effectuate the provisions of the Act. In particular, a new section 123.92 (19 CFR 123.92) was added to the regulations to implement the inbound truck cargo provisions. Section 123.92 describes the general requirement that, in the case of any inbound truck required to report its arrival under section 123.1(b), if the truck will have commercial cargo aboard, CBP must electronically receive certain information regarding that cargo through a CBP-approved EDI system no later than 1 hour prior to the carrier's reaching the first port of arrival in the United States. For truck carriers arriving with shipments qualified for clearance under the FAST (Free and Secure Trade) program, section 123.92 provides that CBP must electronically receive such cargo information through the CBP-approved EDI system no later than 30 minutes prior to the carrier's reaching the first port of arrival in the United States. ACE Truck Manifest Test On September 13, 2004, CBP published a notice in the **Federal Register** (69 FR 55167) announcing a test allowing participating Truck Carrier Accounts to transmit electronic manifest data for inbound cargo through ACE, with any such transmissions automatically complying with advance cargo information requirements as provided in section 343(a) of the Trade Act of 2002. Truck Carrier Accounts participating in the test were given the ability to electronically transmit the truck manifest data and obtain release of their cargo, crew, conveyances, and equipment via the ACE Portal or electronic data interchange messaging. A series of notices announced additional deployments of the test, with deployment sites being phased in as clusters. Clusters were announced in the following notices published in the **Federal Register:** 70 FR 30964 (May 31, 2005); 70 FR 43892 (July 29, 2005); 70 FR 60096 (October 14, 2005); 71 FR 3875 (January 24, 2006); 71 FR 23941 (April 25, 2006); 71 FR 42103 (July 25, 2006); 71 FR 77404 (December 26, 2006) and 72 FR 7058 (February 14, 2007). CBP continues to test ACE at various ports. CBP will continue, as necessary, to announce in subsequent notices in the **Federal Register** the deployment of the ACE truck manifest system test at additional ports. Designation of ACE Truck Manifest System as the Approved Data Interchange System In a notice published October 27, 2006, (71 FR 62922), CBP designated the Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE)Truck Manifest System as the approved EDI for the transmission of required data and announced that the requirement that advance electronic cargo information be transmitted through ACE would be phased in by groups of ports of entry. ACE will be phased in as the required transmission system at some ports even while it is still being tested at other ports. However, the use of ACE to transmit advance electronic truck cargo information will not be required in any port in which CBP has not first conducted the test. The October 27, 2006, document identified all land border ports in the states of Washington and Arizona and the ports of Pembina, Neche, Walhalla, Maida, Hannah, Sarles, and Hansboro in North Dakota as the first group of ports where use of the ACE Truck Manifest System is mandated. Subsequently, CBP announced on January 19, 2007 (72 FR 2435) that, after 90 days notice, the use of the ACE Truck Manifest System will be mandatory at all land border ports in the states of California, Texas and New Mexico, as well. ACE Mandated at Land Border Ports of Entry in Michigan and New York Applicable regulations (19 CFR 123.92(e)) require CBP, 90 days prior to mandating advance electronic information at a port of entry, to publish notice in the **Federal Register** informing affected carriers that the EDI system is in place and fully operational. Accordingly, CBP is announcing in this document that, effective 90 days from the date of publication of this notice, truck carriers entering the United States at any land border port of entry in the states of Michigan and New York will be required to present advance electronic cargo information regarding truck cargo through the ACE Truck Manifest System. Although other systems that have been deemed acceptable by CBP for transmitting advance truck manifest data will continue to operate and may still be used in the normal course of business for purposes other than transmitting advance truck manifest data, use of systems other than ACE will no longer satisfy advance electronic cargo information requirements at a port of entry in Michigan and New York as of May 24, 2007. Compliance Sequence CBP will be publishing subsequent notices in the **Federal Register** as it phases in the requirement that truck carriers utilize the ACE system to present advance electronic truck cargo information at other ports. ACE will be phased in as the mandatory EDI system at the ports identified below in the sequential order in which they are listed. The sequential order provided below is somewhat different than that announced in the October 27, 2006, notice. Although further changes to this order are not currently anticipated, CBP will state in future notices if changes do occur. In any event, as mandatory ACE is phased in at these remaining ports, CBP will always provide 90 days' notice through publication in the **Federal Register** prior to requiring the use of ACE for the transmission of advance electronic truck cargo information at a particular group of ports. The remaining ports at which the mandatory use of ACE will be phased in, listed in sequential order, are as follows: 1. The remaining land border ports in the state of North Dakota and all land border ports in the state of Vermont. 2. All land border ports in the states of Idaho and Montana. 3. All land border ports in the states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Minnesota. 4. All land border ports in the state of Alaska. Dated: February 20, 2007. Deborah J. Spero, Acting Commissioner, Customs and Border Protection. [FR Doc. 07-829 Filed 2-22-07; 8:45 am]
