Section 1374 Effective Dates; Correction, 5044-5045 [05-1734]

Download as PDF 5044 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 20 / Tuesday, February 1, 2005 / Rules and Regulations On May 10, 2004 (69 FR 25820– 25826, Docket No. 04–011–1), we published an interim rule that amended the regulations to, among other things, establish additional restrictions on the importation of birds and poultry and unprocessed bird and poultry products from regions where HPAI subtype H5N1 is considered to exist. The interim rule also added to the regulations a list of regions (Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam) in which HPAI subtype H5N1 is considered to exist. On August 19, 2004, Malaysia alerted the World Organization for Animal Health and the United States that an outbreak of HPAI subtype H5N1 had occurred in that country. The outbreak occurred in the northeastern State of Kelantan, close to the border with Thailand, a country where the presence of the disease has already been confirmed. Currently, control measures for the disease in Malaysia include depopulation of all poultry and birds within a 1-kilometer radius of the infected flock, quarantine within 10 kilometers of the infected flock, movement restrictions, and clinical surveillance in the State of Kelantan. Therefore, in order to prevent the introduction of HPAI subtype H5N1 into the United States, we are amending the regulations by adding Malaysia to the list in § 94.6(d) of regions where HPAI subtype H5N1 exists. We are making this action effective retroactively to August 7, 2004, which is the date that Malaysian veterinary authorities estimate to be the date of primary infection. As a result of this action, the importation into the United States of birds, poultry, and unprocessed bird and poultry products from Malaysia is restricted and U.S. origin pet birds and performing or theatrical birds and poultry returning to the United States from Malaysia will be subject to additional permit and quarantine requirements. Emergency Action This rulemaking is necessary on an emergency basis to prevent the introduction of HPAI subtype H5N1 into the United States. Under these circumstances, the Administrator has determined that prior notice and opportunity for public comment are contrary to the public interest and that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553 for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. We will consider comments we receive during the comment period for this interim rule (see DATES above). After the comment period closes, we VerDate jul<14>2003 16:45 Jan 31, 2005 Jkt 205001 will publish another document in the Federal Register. The document will include a discussion of any comments we receive and any amendments we are making to the rule. Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12866. For this action, the Office of Management and Budget has waived its review under Executive Order 12866. This rule amends the regulations by adding Malaysia to the list of regions in which HPAI subtype H5N1 is considered to exist. This action is necessary on an emergency basis to prevent the introduction of HPAI, subtype H5N1 into the United States. The U.S. does not recognize Malaysia as free of exotic Newcastle disease, thus the importation of poultry and nonprocessed poultry products from Malaysia is restricted. The United States, Canada, and Mexico imported no live poultry, poultry meat, eggs, or feathers from Malaysia in 2003/2004. The only exception was two commercial shipments, consisting of 6,791 and 9,646 pet birds, respectively, which were imported from Malaysia in October 2003 and February 2004. Both shipments consisted of assorted finches. Live birds are quarantined in U.S. ports prior to clearance for entry into the country, during which time testing for infectious diseases, including AI, takes place. Since no live poultry or poultry products are imported from Malaysia at this time, it is unlikely that this interim rule will have any substantial effects on trade, or on small or large businesses. APHIS also does not anticipate significant changes in program operations, or effects on other Federal agencies, State governments, or local governments. 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 12988 This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule: (1) Preempts all State and local laws and regulations that are in conflict with this rule; (2) has retroactive effect to August 7, 2004; and (3) does not require administrative proceedings before parties may file suit in court challenging this rule.

SUMMARY: This document provides required notice of substantive rules issued by the Coast Guard and temporarily effective between October 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004, that were not published in the Federal Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary special local regulations, security zones, safety zones, and regulated navigation areas, all of limited duration for which timely publication in the Federal Register was not possible. DATES: This document lists temporary Coast Guard rules that because effective and were terminated between October 1, 2004, and December 31, 2004. ADDRESSES: The Department of Transportation Docket Management Facility maintains the public docket for this notice. Documents indicated in this notice will be available for inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, Room PL–401, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20593–0001 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

For questions on viewing, or on submitting material to the docket, contact Renee Z. Wright, Acting Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone (202) 493–0402. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast Guard District Commanders and Captains of the Port (COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and security needs within their jurisdiction; therefore, District Commanders and COTPs have been delegated the authority to issue certain regulations. Safety Zones may be PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 5045 established for safety or environmental purposes. A safety zone may be stationary and described by fixed limits or it may be described as a zone round a vessel in motion. Security zones limit access to prevent injury or damage to vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities and may also describe a zone around a vessel in motion. Special local regulations are issued to enhance the safety of participants and spectators at regattas and other marine events. Regulated navigation areas established regulations for vessels navigating within the area. Timely publication of these rules in the Federal Register is often precluded when a rule responds to an emergency, or when an event occurs without sufficient advance notice. The affected public is, however, informed of these rules through local notices to mariners, press releases, and other means. Moreover, actual notification is provided by Coast Guard patrol vessels enforcing the restrictions imposed by the rule. Because Federal Register publication was not possible before the beginning of the effective period, mariners were personally notified of the contents of these special local regulations, security zones, safety zones or regulated navigation areas by Coast Guard officials on-scene prior to any enforcement action. However, the Coast Guard, by law, must publish in the Federal Register notice of substantive rules adopted. To meet this obligation without imposing undue expense on the public, the Coast Guard periodically publishes a list of these temporary special local regulations, security zones, safety zones and regulated navigation areas. Permanent rules are not included in this list because they are published in their entirety in the Federal Register. Temporary rules are also published in their entirety if sufficient time is available to do so before they are placed in effect or terminated. The safety zones, special local regulations, security zones and regulated navigation areas listed in this notice have been exempted from review and under Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, because of their emergency nature, or limited scope and temporary effectiveness. The following rules were placed in effect temporarily during the period from October 1, 2004, through December 31, 2004, unless otherwise indicated. Dated: January 24, 2004. Steve G. Venckus, Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law. E:\FR\FM\01FER1.SGM 01FER1
