Liquor Dealers; Recodification of Regulations; Administrative Changes Due to the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (2004R-258T)
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is recodifying its regulations pertaining to liquor dealers. We are also making administrative changes to these regulations to reflect TTB's new name and organizational structure resulting from changes made by the Homeland Security Act of 2002. This document does not include any substantive regulatory changes.
Removal of Tobacco Products and Cigarette Papers and Tubes, Without Payment of Tax, for United States Use in Law Enforcement Activities
The Department of the Treasury and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau adopt a temporary amendment to the regulations relating to the removal of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, without payment of tax, for use of the United States. This amendment allows manufacturers of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes to remove these articles without payment of tax for use by Federal agencies in their law enforcement activities, and to exempt packages of those removed products from the tax-exempt labeling requirement. We take this action to timely meet the needs of Federal agency law enforcement operations, particularly investigations involving tobacco product diversion and smuggling.
Request for Comment on Potentially Inadequate Monitoring in Clean Air Act Applicable Requirements and on Methods To Improve Such Monitoring; Notice of Public Comment Period Extension
The EPA is announcing that the closing date of the public comment period for the advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) ``Request for Comment on Potentially Inadequate Monitoring in Clean Air Act Applicable Requirements and on Methods To Improve Such Monitoring'' (70 FR 7905, February 16, 2005) is extended sixty days from April 18, 2005 until June 17, 2005. After publishing this ANPR, the EPA received a letter dated March 11, 2005, from Environmental Integrity Project and several other environmental and citizens' organizations requesting a 120-day extension of the public comment period to allow the public to provide more meaningful comments, given the broad scope of the ANPR. The EPA believes it is reasonable to extend the public comment period for sixty days and is hereby granting the requested extension for that period.
Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company CT7-5, -7, and -9 Series Turboprop Engines
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CT7-5A2, -5A3, -7A, -7A1, -9B, -9B1, and -9B2 turboprop engines, with stage 2 turbine aft cooling plate, part number (P/N) 6064T07P01, 6064T07P02, 6064T07P05, or 6068T36P01 installed. This proposed AD would require a onetime eddy current inspection (ECI) of certain P/N stage 2 turbine aft cooling plate boltholes. This proposed AD results from reports of six stage 2 turbine aft cooling plates found cracked during inspection. We are proposing this AD to prevent stage 2 aft cooling plate separation, resulting in uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
Tuberculosis in Cattle and Bison; State and Zone Designations; California
We are amending the bovine tuberculosis regulations regarding State and zone classifications by raising the designation of California from modified accredited advanced to accredited-free. We have determined that California meets the criteria for designation as an accredited-free State.
Regulations Governing Practice Before the Internal Revenue Service; Correction
This document contains corrections to (TD 9165), which were published in the Federal Register on Monday, December 20, 2004 (69 FR 75839) revising the regulations governing practice before the Internal Revenue Service (Circular 230).
Benefits Payable in Terminated Single-Employer Plans; Allocation of Assets in Single-Employer Plans; Interest Assumptions for Valuing and Paying Benefits
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's regulations on Benefits Payable in Terminated Single-Employer Plans and Allocation of Assets in Single-Employer Plans prescribe interest assumptions for valuing and paying benefits under terminating single-employer plans. This final rule amends the regulations to adopt interest assumptions for plans with valuation dates in May 2005. Interest assumptions are also published on the PBGC's Web site (https://www.pbgc.gov).
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments
This amendment establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, addition of new obstacles, or changes in air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans and Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Ohio; Redesignation of Cincinnati to Attainment of the 1-Hour Ozone Standard; Removal of Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Programs for the Cincinnati and Dayton Areas
The State of Ohio has requested the EPA to parallel process an ozone redesignation request and a number of revisions to Ohio's air quality control plan. We are proposing to determine that the Cincinnati-Hamilton area has attained the 1-hour ozone standard for the entire period of 1996-2004 based on 1-hour ozone monitoring data demonstrating attainment of the standard during that period. As a result, certain attainment demonstration requirements, along with certain other related requirements of part D of title I of the Clean Air Act, are not applicable to the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati- Hamilton area. We are proposing to approve Ohio's request to redesignate the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati-Hamilton area to attainment of the 1-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). We are proposing to approve Ohio's revision of the 1-hour ozone maintenance plan, previously approved by us on June 19, 2000, for the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati-Hamilton area. This update to the plan extends the timeframe for demonstrating continued maintenance of the 1-hour ozone standard through 2015, and demonstrates that the 1- hour ozone standard may be maintained in this area even with the termination of the vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) program in the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati-Hamilton area. We are notifying the public that we believe that the revised motor vehicle emissions budgets for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) for the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati-Hamilton area are adequate for conformity purposes and are approvable as part of the revised ozone maintenance plan for this area. We are proposing to approve new VOC emission control regulations for various sources in the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati-Hamilton area and to approve negative source declarations for some source categories for this area as long as the State meets certain conditions. We are proposing approval of periodic emission inventories for the Cincinnati area. Additionally, we are proposing to find that Ohio has demonstrated that termination of the I/M program in the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati-Hamilton area will not interfere with the attainment and maintenance of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS in this area. Similarly, we are proposing to find that Ohio has demonstrated that termination of the I/ M program in the Dayton area will not interfere with attainment and maintenance of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS in this area provided that the State meets certain conditions.
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 10, announces its intent to delete the Naval Magazine Indian Island Site (Site) located in Port Hadlock, Washington from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this proposed action. The NPL constitutes appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. EPA and the State of Washington have determined that the remedial action for the Site has been successfully executed by the Navy and no further response under CERCLA is needed.
Lindane; Proposed Tolerance Actions
EPA is proposing to revoke specific existing tolerances for the insecticide lindane because, following receipt of registrant requests, the Agency canceled their associated Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) registrations.
Applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations to Loading, Unloading, and Storage
On October 30, 2003, the Research and Special Programs Administration, predecessor agency to PHMSA, published a final rule to clarify the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations to functions and activities related to the safe and secure transportation of hazardous materials in commerce, including loading, unloading, and storage operations. In response to appeals submitted by persons affected by the final rule, this final rule amends certain regulations and makes editorial corrections.
National Emission Standards for Coke Oven Batteries
On October 27, 1993 (58 FR 57898), pursuant to section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA issued technology-based national emission standards to control hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted by coke oven batteries. This action amends the standards to address residual risks under section 112(f) and the 8-year review requirements of section 112(d)(6).
