Download as PDF 56580 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 28, 2005 / Rules and Regulations § 531.5 regulations (e.g., the 24-hour Rule) to which they are subject. IV. Statutory Reviews In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3507, the collection of information requirements contained in this Final Rule have been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for review. The estimated total annual burden for the estimated 635 annual respondents is 190,252 person-hours. No comments were received on this estimate. In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 605, the Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission has certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy, Small Business Administration, that the Final Rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Although NVOCCs as an industry include small entities, the Final Rule provides, but does not require, an alternative for NVOCCs from certain tariff requirements of the Shipping Act and the Commission’s regulations. It potentially relieves a burden. Therefore, the Commission has found that the Final Rule will have no significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. List of Subjects for 46 CFR Part 531 Exports, Non-vessel-operating common carriers, Ocean transportation intermediaries. For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the Federal Maritime Commission amends 46 CFR part 531 as follows: Duty to file. (a) The duty under this part to file NSAs, amendments and notices, and to publish statements of essential terms, shall be upon the NVOCC acting as carrier party to the NSA. * * * * * I 4. Revise paragraph (c)(2) and add paragraph (d)(4) to § 531.6 to read as follows: § 531.6 NVOCC Service Arrangements. * * * * * (c) * * * (2) Make reference to terms not explicitly contained in the NSA itself unless those terms are contained in a publication widely available to the public and well known within the industry.

Summary of Notice of Proposed Rulemaking No one proposed revising or eliminating any provisions in part 23 of the Commission’s rules in response to the NPRM published elsewhere in this issue.

Accordingly, we will not revise part 23 of the Commission’s rules at this time. This terminates our consideration of part 23 of the Commission’s rules issues in the context of IB Docket No. 00–248. Final Regulatory Flexibility Certification. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended (RFA) requires that a regulatory flexibility analysis be prepared for rulemaking proceedings, unless the agency certifies that ‘‘the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.’’ The RFA generally defines ‘‘small entity’’ having the same meaning as the terms ‘‘small business,’’ ‘‘small organization,’’ and ‘‘small governmental jurisdiction.’’ In addition, the term ‘‘small business’’ has the same meaning as the term ‘‘small business concern’’ under the Small Business Act. A small business concern is one which: (1) Is independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of operation; and (3) satisfies any additional criteria established by the Small Business Administration (SBA). No FRFA is necessary for the Seventh Report and Order because we have decided not to make any changes to the Commission’s rules at this time. Ordering Clauses Accordingly, it is ordered, pursuant to section 4(i), 7(a), 11, 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), and 303(r), of the Communication Act of 1934, as E:\FR\FM\28SER1.SGM 28SER1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 28, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 56581 amended 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 161, 303(c), 303(g), and 303(r), that this Seventh Report and Order in IB Docket No. 00– 248 is hereby adopted.

SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) 
invited commenters to propose revisions to part 23 of the Commission's

Summary of Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

    No one proposed revising or eliminating any provisions in part 23 
of the Commission's rules in response to the NPRM published elsewhere 
in this issue. As a result, we find that the record before us at this 
time does not provide any basis for revising part 23 of the 
Commission's rules. Accordingly, we will not revise part 23 of the 
Commission's rules at this time. This terminates our consideration of 
part 23 of the Commission's rules issues in the context of IB Docket 
No. 00-248.
    Final Regulatory Flexibility Certification. The Regulatory 
Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended (RFA) requires that a regulatory 
flexibility analysis be prepared for rulemaking proceedings, unless the 
agency certifies that ``the rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities.'' The RFA generally 
defines ``small entity'' having the same meaning as the terms ``small 
business,'' ``small organization,'' and ``small governmental 
jurisdiction.'' In addition, the term ``small business'' has the same 
meaning as the term ``small business concern'' under the Small Business 
Act. A small business concern is one which: (1) Is independently owned 
and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of operation; and (3) 
satisfies any additional criteria established by the Small Business 
Administration (SBA). No FRFA is necessary for the Seventh Report and 
Order because we have decided not to make any changes to the 
Commission's rules at this time.

Ordering Clauses

    Accordingly, it is ordered, pursuant to section 4(i), 7(a), 11, 
303(c), 303(f), 303(g), and 303(r), of the Communication Act of 1934, 
as

amended 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 161, 303(c), 303(g), and 303(r), that this

    Accordingly, it is further ordered that the Consumer and 
Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference Information Center, shall send a

Certification, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business
