Notice is hereby given that the Department of State proposes to create a new system of records, STATE-69, pursuant to the Provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 as amended (5 U.S.C.(r)), and the Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-130, Appendix I. The Department's report was filed with the Office of Management and Budget on February 9, 2006. It is proposed that the new system will be named ``WebMove Records.'' This system description is proposed in order to reflect more accurately the Office of Logistics Management Transportation Management Office and the General Services Officers at Posts' record-keeping system, activities and operations. Any persons interested in commenting on this new system of records may do so by submitting comments in writing to Margaret P. Grafeld, Director; Office of Information Programs and Services; A/RPS/IPS; Department of State, SA-2; Washington, DC 20522-6001.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is canceling the meeting on the Animal Drug User Fee Act scheduled for February 24, 2006.

FDA will continue to seek public comments relative to the program's overall performance and reauthorization as directed by Congress. FDA will publish another notice in the Federal Register announcing any plans for rescheduling the public meeting.

The FDIC is adopting a final rule which clarifies and simplifies the procedures to be used when all of the deposit liabilities of an insured depository institution have been assumed by another insured depository institution or institutions. The final regulation would modify the current rule's requirements by: Making clear that an insured institution is required to file a ``certification'' when all of its deposits are assumed, but no certification is required if only a portion of its deposits are assumed; and requiring that the transferring institution, or its legal successor, file the certification rather than the assuming institution. The rule also clarifies that the transferring institution's status as an insured institution automatically terminates upon the FDIC's receipt of an accurate certification stating that: All of its deposits have been assumed by an insured depository institution or institutions, and the legal authority of the transferring institution to accept deposits has been terminated contemporaneously with the deposit assumption. In such a situation, and in a situation in which the FDIC has been appointed receiver of an insured institution, little practical purpose would be served by an order terminating deposit insurance, and the final rule provides that no such order will be issued in such situations. Finally, the rule would provide more specificity concerning how notice is given to depositors when an insured depository institution voluntarily terminates its insured status without the assumption of all of its deposits by an insured institution. In sum, the revisions would make the insurance termination process somewhat easier for insured depository institutions, and somewhat more efficient for the FDIC.

The Department is eliminating its rule that currently prohibits each airline that owns, controls, or operates a computer reservations system (``CRS'' or ``system'') from denying system access to two or more carriers whose flights share a single designator code and discriminating against any carrier because the carrier uses the same designator code as another carrier. The Department has determined that this rule is no longer necessary. This action is consistent with the Department's decision at the end of 2003 to eliminate its comprehensive rules governing system operations, 14 CFR part 255.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), announce our 12-month finding for a petition to list the Yellowstone cutthroat trout (YCT) (Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri) as a threatened species throughout its range in the United States, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. After a thorough review of all available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the YCT as either threatened or endangered is not warranted at this time. We ask the public to continue to submit to us any new information that becomes available concerning the status of or threats to the subspecies. This information will help us to monitor and encourage the ongoing conservation of this subspecies.
