The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is issuing this final rule as part of its implementation of title I of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (Act). The Act established a temporary Terrorism Insurance Program (Program) under which the Federal Government will share the risk of insured loss from certified acts of terrorism with commercial property and casualty insurers until the Program ends on December 31, 2005. This final rule clarifies that, for purposes of calculating direct earned premium and insurer deductibles and meeting the requirements for claiming the Federal share of compensation for insured losses for any Program Year, an insurer's affiliates will be determined based on the insurer's circumstances as of the date of occurrence of the act of terrorism that is the first act of terrorism certified by the Secretary for that Program Year.

To comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, we are inviting comments on a collection of information that we will submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The information collection request (ICR) is titled ``30 CFR Part 202ROYALTIES, Subpart JGas Production From Indian Leases, and Part 206PRODUCT VALUATION, Subpart B Indian Oil, and Subpart EIndian Gas (Forms MMS-4109, Gas Processing Allowance Summary Report; MMS-4110, Oil Transportation Allowance Report; MMS-4295, Gas Transportation Allowance Report; MMS-4410, Accounting for Comparison [Dual Accounting]; and MMS-4411, Safety Net Report).'' The title of this ICR clarifies the regulatory language we are covering under 30 CFR parts 202 and 206, for Indian oil and gas leases, and incorporates relevant portions of six previous ICRs. The six ICRs now consolidated into this ICR were previously titled: 1010-0061: 30 CFR Part 206, Subpart BIndian Oil, Sec. 206.55Determination of Transportation Allowances (Form MMS-4110, Oil Transportation Allowance Report); 1010-0075: 30 CFR Part 206, Subpart EIndian Gas, Sec. 206.178How do I determine a transportation allowance?

The Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, has temporarily changed the regulation governing the operation of the Cedar Lake Road Swing Span drawbridge across the Tchoutacabouffa River, mile 8.0, at Cedar Lake, Harrison County, Mississippi. The rule states that the draw of the bridge shall open on signal with twenty-four hours notice; except that the draw will remain closed to navigation Monday through Friday from June 27 through October 28, 2005 with the exception of July 4, 2005. However, from August 1 through September 23, 2005 it will open on signal with twenty-four hours notice every other weekend, beginning with the weekend of August 13, 2005. The closure is necessary for remedial structural repairs to be made to the bridge that are essential for the continued operation of the draw span.

This final rule will revise Class E airspace at Wray, CO. New Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) have been developed at Wray Municipal Airport. Additional Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is necessary for the safety of instrument flight rules (IFR) aircraft executing these new SIAPs and transitioning between the terminal and en route environment.

These special conditions are issued to Tiger Aircraft, 266 Pilot Way, Martinsburg, WV, 25401, for a change to the Type Design of the Tiger AG-5B. This airplane will have novel and unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisaged in the applicable airworthiness standards. These novel and unusual design features include the installation of an electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) in the form of a Garmin G1000 integrated avionics system. The current applicable regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate airworthiness standards for the protection of the systems from the effects of high intensity radiated fields (HIRF). These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to the airworthiness standards applicable to these airplanes.

On September 5, 2000, EPA issued a proposed rule, in response to a petition filed under section 313(e)(1) of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), to add a diisononyl phthalate (DINP) category to the list of toxic chemicals subject to the reporting requirements under EPCRA section 313 and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA). EPA proposed to add this chemical category to the EPCRA section 313 toxic chemical list pursuant to its authority to add chemicals and chemical categories because EPA believes this category meets the EPCRA section 313(d)(2)(B) toxicity criterion. The purpose of today's action is to inform interested parties that, in an effort to ensure adequate opportunities for input from all affected parties, EPA is making available for public comment a revised hazard assessment for DINP.

EPA has received from Illinois a request for a waiver from the Agency's asbestos-in-schools program. A waiver of these requirements will be granted if EPA determines, after notice and comment and opportunity for a public hearing, that Illinois is implementing or intends to implement a program of asbestos inspection and management at least as stringent as EPA's program. This notice announces an opportunity for a public hearing on the Illinois waiver request and solicits written comments.

On November 22, 2004, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) issued a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) seeking comments on its policy regarding selective discounting by natural gas pipeline companies. The Commission has determined that it will take no further action in this proceeding and, therefore, it terminated Docket No. RM05-2-000.

On December 20, 2004, the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA)the predecessor agency to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)published a final rule under Docket Number RSPA-04-17036 (HM-215G) amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to maintain alignment with international standards by incorporating various amendments, including changes to proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations, air transport quantity limitations and vessel stowage requirements. Because of recent changes to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code), the International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO Technical Instructions), and the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Recommendations), these revisions are necessary to facilitate the transport of hazardous materials in international commerce. This final rule corrects errors in the December 20, 2004 final rule.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) to supersede AD 2005-05-52 (70 FR 13362, March 21, 2005), which applies to all Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 402C and 414A airplanes. AD 2005-05-52 currently requires you to eddy current inspect the forward wing spars and visually inspect the aft and auxiliary spars. This AD is the result of fatigue and crack growth analyses of the wings of these airplanes, recent cracks found on Model 402C airplanes, and the FAA's determination that repetitive inspections and a wing spar modification are necessary to address the unsafe condition. Consequently, this AD would require repetitive eddy current inspections, visual inspections, and a spar strap modification on each wing. You must retain the actions of AD 2005-05-52 until you do the modifications of this AD. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent wing spar cap failure caused by undetected fatigue cracks. Such failure could result in loss of a wing with consequent loss of airplane control. FAA is also issuing AD 2005-12-12 to require the spar strap modification and long-term inspections on Models 401, 401A, 402, 402A, 402B, 411, and 411A airplanes.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Turbomeca S.A. Arrius 2 B1, 2 B1A, 2 B1A-1, and 2 B2 turboshaft engines. This AD requires replacing the software in the Engine Electronic Control Unit (EECU). This AD results from a report of simultaneous loss of automatic control of both engines of a Eurocopter Deutschland EC 135 helicopter, during flight. We are issuing this AD to prevent simultaneous loss of automatic control of both engines and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending the FERC Form No. 73, Oil Pipeline Service Life Data to allow for filing in an Excel spreadsheet, eliminate the filing requirement for utility codes, which are no longer used by the Commission, and update the filing instructions to delete references to outdated filing formats. These modifications resulted from a review conducted by the Commission's FERC Information Assessment Team (FIAT) of the Commission's current reporting and information collection requirements to evaluate their original purposes and current uses and to propose ways to reduce the reporting burden on industry through the elimination, reduction, streamlining or reformatting of current collections. The information collected on FERC Form No. 73 assists the Commission in the selection of appropriate oil pipeline service lives and book depreciation rates. Some oil pipeline companies use the book depreciation rates to compute their operating expenses for accounting and cost of service purposes.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is amending its nuclear plant decommissioning trust fund (Fund) guidelines to remove the requirement that the financial report that public utilities furnish to the Commission each year must show all purchases and sales of investments and substitute a requirement that public utilities must include in their report a summary amount for purchases of fund investments and a summary amount for sales of fund investments. All other reporting requirements in the special provisions that relate to Fund reports remain in place; e.g., records of individual purchases and sales of investments must still be maintained even if such individual transactions are not routinely reported. These modifications are the result of a review conducted by the Commission's Information Assessment Team (FIAT), identifying the Commission's current information collections, evaluating their original purposes and current uses, and proposing ways to reduce the reporting burden on industry through the elimination, reduction, streamlining or reformatting of current collections. These changes in the Commission's regulations will reduce the reporting burden on the electric industry while simultaneously simplifying Fund reports and making it easier for the Commission to review them.

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) Model S-92A helicopters. This action requires replacing the main gearbox (MGB) lubrication/scavenge pump vespel spline adapters (vespel spline adapters) before further flight, and thereafter, replacing them at certain intervals. This amendment is prompted by a reported incident of an in-flight loss of oil pressure. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent loss of lubrication to the MGB, which could cause failure of one or both engine input drives, or planetary gear to sun gear tooth mesh failure, resulting in loss of power to the rotor system and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to certain transport category airplanes. That AD currently requires modification of the reinforced flight deck door. This new AD expands the applicability of the existing AD and requires other actions related to the reinforced flight deck door. These other actions include modifying the door, inspecting and modifying wiring in the area, and revising the maintenance program to require more frequent testing of the decompression panels of the flight deck door. This AD is prompted by reports of discrepancies with the reinforced flight deck door. We are issuing this AD to prevent inadvertent release of the decompression latch and consequent opening of the decompression panel in the flight deck door, or penetration of the flight deck door by smoke or shrapnel, any of which could result in injury to the airplane flightcrew. This AD also requires finding and fixing wire chafing, which could result in arcing, fire, and/or reduced controllability of the airplane.
