The Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the Morgan City Railroad Bridge across Berwick BayAtchafalaya River, mile 17.5 and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Morgan City-Port Allen Alternate Route, mile 0.3) in Morgan City, St. Mary's Parish, Louisiana. This deviation provides for the bridge to remain closed to navigation for four consecutive hours with an opening to pass vessels in the middle for the purpose of conducting scheduled maintenance to the drawbridge.

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the navigable waters of the Atlantic Ocean in Virginia Beach, VA. This safety zone will restrict vessel movement in the specified area during the Patriotic Festival III. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life and property on the surrounding navigable waters during the air show.

The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the upper deck of the Steel Bridge across the Willamette River, mile 12.1, at Portland, OR. This deviation is necessary to accommodate the safe and efficient movement of light rail and roadway traffic associated with the Rose Parade in Portland, Oregon. This deviation allows the upper deck of the Steel Bridge to remain in the closed position to facilitate efficient movement of event patrons.

The Coast Guard is modifying the operating schedule that governs the Amtrak Bridge, at mile 6.8 over Bush River, at Perryman, MD. The rule updates the language of the regulation to reflect the intent of the original schedule and change the interim rule as final.

The Department of Commerce, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is amending its rule on identity theft ``red flags'' (``Red Flags rule''), which implements section 615(e) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The Red Flag Program Clarification Act of 2010 (the Clarification Act) added a definition of ``creditor'' in FCRA section 615(e) that is specific to section 615(e). Accordingly, the final rule amends the definition of ``creditor'' in the Red Flags rule to reflect the definition of that term as added by the Clarification Act. The final rule also updates a cross-reference in the Red Flags rule to reflect a statutory change in rulemaking authority.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is repealing its Regulation DD, 12 CFR part 230, which was issued to implement the Truth in Saving Act (TISA). Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws, including TISA, from the Board to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau). In December 2011, the Bureau published an interim final rule establishing its own Regulation DD to implement TISA (Bureau Interim Final Rule). The Bureau Interim Final Rule substantially duplicates the Board's Regulation DD. Under section 1029 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Board retains authority to issue rules for certain motor vehicle dealers that offer consumer financial services and are not subject to the Bureau's regulatory authority. The Board is not aware of any entities that are motor vehicle dealers engaging in activities subject to TISA that would be subject to the Board's rulemaking authority under section 1029 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Accordingly, the Board is repealing its Regulation DD.

The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), will be submitting the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Best Practices in Developing Proprietary Names for Drugs.'' The draft guidance focuses on the safety aspects in the development and selection of proposed proprietary names for all prescription and nonprescription human drug products and biological products. The draft guidance describes naming design practices to help avoid medication errors and provides a qualitative systematic framework for evaluating proprietary names before submitting them for FDA review. FDA is issuing this draft guidance to help drug and biologic product sponsors develop proprietary names that do not cause or contribute to medication errors or otherwise contribute to the misbranding of the drug.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. This revision includes regulatory amendments that require the decommissioning of Stage II vapor recovery systems at gasoline dispensing facilities by December 22, 2015, and a demonstration that such removal is consistent with the Clean Air Act and EPA guidance. The intended effect of this action is to approve New Hampshire's revised vapor recovery regulation. This action is being taken in accordance with the Clean Air Act.
