EPA proposes to grant final authorization to New York for these changes which are described in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this Federal Register. In that section, EPA is authorizing the changes by an immediate final rule. EPA did not make a proposal prior to the immediate final rule because we believe this action is not controversial and do not expect comments that oppose it. We have explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the immediate final rule. Unless we get written comments which oppose this authorization during the comment period, the immediate final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and we will not take further action on this proposal. If we get comments that oppose this action, we will either withdraw the immediate final rule, or the portion of the immediate final rule that is the subject of the comments. Only the remaining portion of the rule will take effect. We will then respond to those public comments opposing this authorization in a second final authorization notice. This second final notice may or may not include changes based on comments received during the public notice comment period. You may not have another opportunity for comment.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Moore at the address given in the ADDRESSES section, or telephone 301– 496–4607 (not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 20, 2000, the United States Congress enacted the Chimpanzee Health Improvement, Maintenance, and Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106– 551). Section 1 of this law amended the Public Health Service (PHS) Act by adding a new section 481C (42 U.S.C. 287a–3a). Section 481C authorizes the Secretary to provide for the establishment and operation of a sanctuary system to provide for the lifetime care of chimpanzees that have been used, or were bred or purchased for use, in research conducted or supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Disease Control and Prevention, or other agencies of the Federal Government, and with respect to which it has been determined by the Secretary that the chimpanzees are not needed for such research (i.e., surplus chimpanzees). Section 481C (d) directs the Secretary to establish by regulation standards of care for operating the Sanctuary system to provide for the permanent retirement of surplus chimpanzees. These standards of care for chimpanzees must ensure the well-being of animals and the health and safety of the animals and the people caring for them. On April 5, 2001, the Secretary delegated to the Director, NIH, the authorities to establish and operate the sanctuary system. Subsequently, the Director, NIH, delegated the authorities to the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). Consequently, NCRR has the lead responsibility for coordinating all efforts on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) concerning the Sanctuary system for surplus chimpanzees from both Federal and non-Federal sources. Section 481C (e) authorizes the Secretary to make an award of a contract to a nonprofit private entity (i.e., Sanctuary Contractor) under which the entity has the responsibility of operating (and establishing, as applicable) the Sanctuary system and awarding subcontracts to individual Sanctuary facilities that meet established standards. NCRR/NIH must approve both contractor and subcontractor awards and NCRR/NIH will verify E:\FR\FM\11JAP1.SGM 11JAP1
