Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 207 / Thursday, October 27, 2005 / Proposed Rules
including small entities, from
employing manipulative or deceptive
devices or contrivances, and therefore
may cause entities, including
potentially small entities, to increase
costs in order to comply. This
prohibition, however, will improve
market transparency to the economic
benefit of all entities, including small
entities. Therefore, the Commission
certifies that this proposed rule, if
finalized, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In February 2000, we were petitioned
to list black carp as an injurious wildlife
species under the Lacey Act (18 U.S.C.
42). On July 30, 2002 (67 FR 49280), we
published a proposed rule in the
Federal Register to add all forms
(diploid and triploid) of live black carp
to the list of injurious fish, mollusks,
and crustaceans under the Lacey Act.
The comment period on the proposed
rule closed on September 30, 2002. On
June 4, 2003 (68 FR 33431), we
reopened the comment period until
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:39 Oct 26, 2005
Jkt 208001
August 4, 2003. We received 103
comments during the first two comment
periods.
On August 30, 2005 (70 FR 51326), we
announced the availability for public
comment of a draft environmental
assessment and draft economic analysis
for the proposed rule and reopened the
comment period on the proposed rule.
The purpose of the draft environmental
assessment is to evaluate three
alternatives associated with the
proposed rule; the purpose of the draft
economic analysis is to analyze the
potential economic impact if the
proposed rule were adopted as
published. The comment period on the
proposed rule, draft environmental
assessment, and draft economic analysis
is set to close October 31, 2005.
Because of requests received from the
public, we are hereby extending the
comment period until December 16,
2005. As stated in the August 30, 2005,
Federal Register document, we are
particularly interested in data and
comments on alternatively listing the
diploid (fertile) form only. Please refer
to that document for further
information. Comments already
