This paragraph provides for the duration of certificates for Flight Standards or Aircraft Certification Service Designated Representatives. The references omitted were to the sections describing the privileges of pilot examiners (§ 183.23) and technical personnel examiners (§ 183.25). This correction adds those two references to § 183.15(b).

In addition, this final rule makes an administrative change to correct a crossreference error in paragraph (e) of the general condition entitled, ‘‘Patent Rights,’’ § 1260.28.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background The Grant Handbook at § 1260.20(e) requires use of Exhibit E, Special Conditions for Cooperative Agreements between NASA and the Commercial Space Centers. However, Exhibit E also requires use of the general conditions which include § 1260.28, Patent Rights, and § 1260.30, Rights in Data. This coverage may have the unintentional consequence of requiring use of both the Exhibit E special conditions and the general conditions. In such case, the PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Exhibit E special conditions would take precedence since they are structured as stand-alone special conditions that supersede the general conditions. However, to avoid any potential misinterpretation or confusion, this change clarifies that the special conditions in Exhibit E replace the general conditions for patent and data rights. B. Regulatory Flexibility Act NASA certifies that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., because the changes are merely clarifying existing coverage in the Grant Handbook. C. Paperwork Reduction Act The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this rule does not impose any new recordkeeping or information collection requirements, or collection of information from offerors, contractors, or members of the public that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulatory Information AGENCY: We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM. The precise location of this detonation operation site, and the need for this safety zone, was not determined until less than 30 days before the range operations were scheduled to begin. Publishing an NPRM and delaying the effective date would be contrary to the public interest because the Air Force operations would begin before the rulemaking process was complete, thereby jeopardizing the safety of people and property unknowingly transiting or remaining in the area. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. The COTP finds this good cause to be the immediate need for a safety zone to allay the aforementioned safety concerns surrounding the detonation operations.

Temporary final rule. SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone in the waters of the North Pacific Ocean bounded by a circle with a 2077-yard radius, centered at 13°35′35″ North Latitude and 144°56′29″ East Longitude (NAD 1983) in the vicinity of Pati Point, Guam. This safety zone is necessary to protect mariners who would otherwise transit or be within this area from possible safety hazards associated with U.S. Air Force detonation range VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:00 May 17, 2006 Jkt 208001 The Coast Guard expects that, every Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. from May 4, 2006 to July 30, 2006, the U.S. Air Force will conduct range operations within the Guam Captain of the Port Zone. The Coast Guard has determined that a temporary safety zone in the waters of Tarague Basin bounded by a circle with a 2077-yard radius in the vicinity of Pati Point, Guam is necessary to protect people and property from hazards associated with the operation. PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 28775 Discussion of Rule This temporary safety zone will be enforced every Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. from May 4, 2006 to July 30, 2006. It is located within the Guam Captain of the Port Zone (See 33 CFR 3.70–15) and covers all waters bounded by a circle with a 2077-yard radius, centered at 13°35′35″ North Latitude and 144°56′29″ East Longitude (NAD 1983), from the surface of the water to the ocean floor. The general regulations governing safety zones contained in 33 CFR 165.23 apply. Entry into, transit through, or anchoring within this zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or a designated representative thereof. Any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty officer, and any other Captain of the Port representative permitted by law, may enforce the zone. The Captain of the Port may waive any of the requirements of this rule for any person, vessel, or class of vessel upon finding that application of the safety zone is unnecessary or impractical for the purpose of maritime safety. Regulatory Evaluation This rule is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under § 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under § 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This expectation is based on the short durations of the zone and the limited geographic area affected by it. Small Entities Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered whether this rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. We expect that there will be little or no impact to small entities due to the narrowly tailored scope of this safety zone. E:\FR\FM\18MYR1.SGM 18MYR1

NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook--Patent Rights and 
Rights in Data, CSC Programs

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule amends 14 CFR 1260.20(e), ``Provisions,'' and 
the introductory paragraph to Exhibit E (Commercial Space Centers 
Program Grants/Cooperative Agreements Intellectual Property) to clarify 
that the ``Patent Rights'' and ``Rights in Data--CSC Program'' special 
conditions in Exhibit E are to be used in all grants or cooperative 
agreements awarded to Commercial Space Centers (CSC) under the Space 
Development and Commercial Research (SDCR) Program instead of (rather 
than in addition to) the general conditions for Patent Rights (Sec.  
1260.28) and Rights in Data (Sec.  1260.30).
    In addition, this final rule makes an administrative change to 
correct a cross-reference error in paragraph (e) of the general 
condition entitled, ``Patent Rights,'' Sec.  1260.28.

DATES: Effective Date: May 18, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    The Grant Handbook at Sec.  1260.20(e) requires use of Exhibit E, 
Special Conditions for Cooperative Agreements between NASA and the 
Commercial Space Centers. However, Exhibit E also requires use of the 
general conditions which include Sec.  1260.28, Patent Rights, and 
Sec.  1260.30, Rights in Data. This coverage may have the unintentional 
consequence of requiring use of both the Exhibit E special conditions 
and the general conditions. In such case, the Exhibit E special 
conditions would take precedence since they are structured as stand-
alone special conditions that supersede the general conditions. 
However, to avoid any potential misinterpretation or confusion, this 
change clarifies that the special conditions in Exhibit E replace the 
general conditions for patent and data rights.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    NASA certifies that this final rule will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the 
meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., 
because the changes are merely clarifying existing coverage in the 
Grant Handbook.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this rule does 
not impose any new recordkeeping or information collection 
requirements, or collection of information from offerors, contractors, 
or members of the public that require the approval of the Office of 
Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
