Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 7, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not
an economically significant rule and
does not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under that order because
it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866 and is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. The Administrator of the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
has not designated it as a significant
energy action. Therefore, it does not
require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency
provides Congress, through the Office of
Management and Budget, with an
explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling
procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD
and Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 5100.1, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying
with the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321–
4370f), and have concluded that there
are no factors in this case that would
limit the use of a categorical exclusion
under section 2.B.2 of the Instruction.
Therefore, this rule is categorically
excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction, from further
environmental documentation. Under
figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(g), of the
Instruction, an ‘‘Environmental Analysis
Check List’’ and a ‘‘Categorical
Exclusion Determination’’ are not
required for this rule, because this rule
removes a duplicate temporary rule
from the Code of Federal Regulations.

direct final rule published in the
Federal Register on April 11, 2006 (71
FR 18219). This direct final rule sought
to exempt importers of aircraft fire
extinguishing vessels containing halon1301 (‘‘aircraft halon bottles’’) from the
import petition process in order to
facilitate the routine hydrostatic testing
of these bottles for environmental and
safety purposes. In the direct final rule,
the Agency indicated that should we
receive adverse comment by May 11,
2006, we would publish a timely
withdrawal notice in the Federal
Register. We received adverse comment
on the direct final rule from one
commenter and we will address this
comment in a subsequent final action
based on the parallel proposal also
published on April 11, 2006 (71 FR
18259). As stated in the parallel
proposal, we will not institute a second
comment period on this action.

withdraws the direct final rule
published at 71 FR 18219 on April 11,
2006.

Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Recordkeeping and Reporting
Requirements for the Import of Halon-1301 Aircraft Fire Extinguishing

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In response to adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the direct
final rule published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2006 (71 FR
18219). This direct final rule sought to exempt importers of aircraft
fire extinguishing vessels containing halon-1301 (``aircraft halon
bottles'') from the import petition process in order to facilitate the
routine hydrostatic testing of these bottles for environmental and
safety purposes. In the direct final rule, the Agency indicated that
should we receive adverse comment by May 11, 2006, we would publish a
timely withdrawal notice in the Federal Register. We received adverse
comment on the direct final rule from one commenter and we will address
this comment in a subsequent final action based on the parallel
proposal also published on April 11, 2006 (71 FR 18259). As stated in
the parallel proposal, we will not institute a second comment period on
this action.
DATES: Effective June 7, 2006, EPA withdraws the direct final rule
published at 71 FR 18219 on April 11, 2006.
