II. What Does This Correction Do?
On February 18, 1998, (63 FR 8284)
EPA published streamlined procedures
for use by local governments seeking
reimbursement for emergency response
costs. Local governments may be
reimbursed for certain costs they incur
in taking temporary emergency
measures related to releases of
hazardous substances pollutants and
contaminants. Those procedures are
found in 40 CFR part 310. Section
310.15(d) gives the address to mail the
completed application and supporting
data for reimbursement. Appendix II to
40 CFR part 310 provides EPA Regions
and NRC Telephone Lines. The mailing
address and some of the telephone
numbers are now incorrect. This
technical correction provides the
corrected address to mail the completed
application and supporting data and the
EPA Regions and NRC phone numbers.
III. Why Is This Correction Issued as a
Final Rule?
Section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides that, when an
Agency for good cause finds that notice
and public procedure are impracticable,
unnecessary or contrary to the public
interest, the agency may issue a final
rule without providing notice and an
opportunity for public comment. EPA
has determined that there is good cause
for making today’s technical correction
final without prior proposal and
opportunity for comment, because EPA
is merely correcting information that

40 CFR 310.15, How do I apply for
reimbursement? and some of the
telephone numbers listed in Appendix
II to part 310 have changed since the
February 18, 1998, publication of the
final rule. EPA finds that this
constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B).
IV. Do Any of the Statutory and
Executive Order Reviews Apply to This
Action?
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of this final
rule in the Federal Register. This final
rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2).
List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 310
The applicable statutory and
Executive Order reviews were included
in the February 18, 1998 Federal
Register document. This document is a
technical correction and as such no new
review requirements are applicable.
V. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5

I. Background
Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier
Service Arrangements
On August 3, 2005, the Federal
Maritime Commission (‘‘FMC’’ or
‘‘Commission’’) proposed a revision to
its regulations at 46 CFR part 531, NonVessel-Operating Common Carrier
Service Arrangements. 70 FR 456267
(August 8, 2005) (‘‘NPR’’). The NPR
proposed revisions to 46 CFR sections
531.3(o), 531.5(a), 531.6(c)(2), and
531.6(d) that would have the effect of
allowing non-vessel-operating common
carriers (‘‘NVOCCs’’) to act as either
shippers or carriers in an NVOCC
Service Arrangement (‘‘NSA’’). Id.
Federal Maritime Commission.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Federal Maritime
Commission has revised its exemption
for non-vessel-operating common
carriers (NVOCCs) from certain tariff
requirements of the Shipping Act of
1984 to allow NVOCCs and shippers’
associations with NVOCC members to
act as shipper parties in NVOCC Service
Arrangements.

On January 19, 2005, 46 CFR part 531
became effective, exempting NVOCCs
from certain tariff publication
requirements of the Shipping Act of
1984, 46 U.S.C. app. 1701 et seq.
(‘‘Shipping Act’’). 69 FR 75850
(December 20, 2004) (final rule) (‘‘NSA
Rule’’). The NSA Rule was issued
pursuant to the Commission’s authority
under section 16 of the Shipping Act, 46
U.S.C. app. 1715 (‘‘Section 16’’). The
exemption relieved NVOCCs from
certain tariff requirements of the
Shipping Act, provided the carriage in
question was done pursuant to an NSA
filed with the Commission and the
essential terms are published in the
NVOCC’s tariff. Id.
The NSA Rule defined an ‘‘NSA
shipper’’ as a cargo owner, the person
for whose account the ocean
transportation is provided, the person to
whom delivery is to be made, or a
shippers’ association. 46 CFR 531.3(o).
