(e) A decision to remove a provider
from the approved list shall take effect
upon the expiration of a provider’s time
to seek review from the Director or, if
the provider timely seeks such review,
upon the issuance of a final written
decision by the Director.
(f) Notwithstanding sub-paragraph (e)
of this section, a decision to remove a
provider from the approved list may
include, or may later be supplemented
by, an interim directive, which may
immediately remove a provider from the
approved list. Such an interim directive
may be issued if one or more of the
following are specifically found:
(1) The provider made a material false
statement on the application;
(2) The provider (board of directors,
officer, manager, employee, counselor,
or agent) has engaged in conduct that is
dishonest, deceitful, fraudulent, or
criminal in nature;
(3) The provider (board of directors,
officer, manager, employee, counselor,
or agent) has engaged in other gross
misconduct that is unbefitting the
provider’s position as an approved
provider;
(4) Revocation of the provider’s
license to do business in a particular
state, provided the immediate removal
shall apply only to the federal judicial
districts within the particular state.
(g) The provider’s request for review
shall fully describe why the provider
disagrees with the denial or removal
decision, and shall be accompanied by
all documents and materials that the
provider wants the Director to consider
in reviewing the decision. The provider
shall send a copy of the request for
review, and the accompanying
documents and materials, to the
Director by overnight courier, for
delivery the next business day, and
must be received by the Director within
20 calendar days of the denial or
removal notice.
(h) The Director may seek additional
information from any party, in the
manner and to the extent the Director
deems appropriate.
(i) The Director shall issue a written
decision no later than 45 calendar days
from the receipt of the provider’s
request for review, unless the provider
agrees to a longer period of time or the
Director extends the period. That
decision shall determine whether the
denial or removal decision is supported
by the record and the action is an
appropriate exercise of discretion, and
shall adopt, modify, or reject the denial
or removal decision. The Director’s
decision shall constitute final
government agency action.
(j) In reaching a determination, the
Director may specify a person to act as

a reviewing official. The reviewing
official shall not be a person who was
involved in the denial or removal
decision. The reviewing official’s duties
shall be specified by the Director on a
case by case basis, and may include
reviewing the record, obtaining
additional information from the
participants, providing the Director with
written recommendations, or such other
duties as the Director shall prescribe in
a particular case.
(k) A provider that files a request for
review shall bear its own costs and
expenses, including counsel fees.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: OSHA is announcing that the
collection of information requirements
contained in the Chromium (VI)
standard (29 CFR parts 1910, 1915,
1917, 1918, and 1926) have been
approved by OMB under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The OMB
approval number is 1218–0252.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSHA
published a final rule for chromium (VI)
(Cr(VI)) on February 28, 2006, after
determining that employees exposed to
Cr(VI) are at increased risk of
developing lung cancer (71 FR 10099).
In addition, occupational exposure to
Cr(VI) may result in asthma, and
damage to the nasal passages and the

skin. The final rule becomes effective on
May 30, 2006. As required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Federal Register notice for the Cr(VI)
final rule stated that compliance with
the collection of information
requirements was not required until
these requirements are approved by
OMB, and the Department of Labor
publishes a notice in the Federal
Register announcing that OMB
approved and assigned a control
number to the Cr(VI) requirements.
Under 5 CFR 1320.5(b), an agency may
not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless: (1) The collection of
information displays a current valid
OMB control number, and (2) the
agency informs members of the public
who must respond to the collection of
information that they are not required to
respond to the collection of information
unless the agency displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
On February 27, 2006, OSHA
submitted the Cr(VI) information
collection request for the final rule to
OMB for approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). On March 28,
2006, OMB approved the collections of
information contained in the final rule
and assigned this collection OMB
Control Number 1218–0252 title

jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone
encompassing portions of the navigable
waters on the St. Lawrence River on July
8, 2006 for the French Festival
Fireworks. This safety zone is necessary
to ensure the safety of spectators and
vessels from the hazards associated with
fireworks displays. This safety zone is
intended to restrict vessel traffic from a
portion of the St. Lawrence River, Cape
Vincent, NY.
DATES: This rule is effective from 9.30
p.m. (local) through 10:30 p.m. (local)
on July 8, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this
preamble as being available in the
docket, are part of docket [CGD09–06–
056] and are available for inspection or
copying at: U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Buffalo, 1 Fuhrmann Blvd, Buffalo, New
York 14203, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LT
Tracy Wirth, U.S. Coast Guard Sector

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
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 permit
application was not received in time to
publish an NPRM followed by a final
rule before the effective date.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:23 Jul 03, 2006
Jkt 208001
38087
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying this rule would be
contrary to the public interest of
ensuring the safety of spectators and
vessels during this event and immediate
action is necessary to prevent possible
loss of life or property. The Coast Guard
has not received any complaints or
negative comments previously with
regard to this event.
and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that
Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that
Order. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
This determination is based on the
minimal time that vessels will be
restricted from the zone, and therefore
minor if any impacts to Mariners.
Background and Purpose
Temporary safety zones are necessary
to ensure the safety of vessels and
spectators from the hazards associated
with fireworks displays. Based on recent
accidents that have occurred in other
Captain of the Port zones, and the
explosive hazard of fireworks, the
Captain of the Port Buffalo has
determined fireworks launches in close
proximity to watercraft pose significant
risks to public safety and property. The
likely combination of large numbers of
recreational vessels, congested
waterways, darkness punctuated by
bright flashes of light, alcohol use, and
debris falling into the water could easily
result in serious injuries or fatalities.
Establishing a safety zone to control
vessel movement around the locations
of the launch platforms will help ensure
the safety of persons and property at
these events and help minimize the
associated risk.
The safety zone consists of all
navigable waters of the St. Lawrence
River within an 500 foot radius around
the fireworks launch platform located at
44°07′53″ N, 076°20′02″ W. All
Geographic coordinates are North
American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). The
size of this zone was determined using
the National Fire Prevention
Association guidelines and local
knowledge concerning wind, waves,
and currents.
All persons and vessels shall comply
with the instructions of the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port or his designated onscene patrol representative. The
designated on-scene patrol
representative will be the patrol
commander. Entry into, transiting, or
anchoring within this safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port Buffalo or his
designated on-scene representative. The
Captain of the Port or his designated onscene representative may be contacted
via VHF Channel 16.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we considered
whether this rule would have a
significant 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 would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
This rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small
entities: The owners or operators of
commercial vessels intending to transit
or anchor in the activated safety zone.
This safety zone will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for
the following reason: This safety zone is
only in effect from 9:30 p.m. (local)
until 10:30 p.m. (local) on the day of the
event.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule would have a
significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rule would economically affect it.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs

Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects and participate
in the rulemaking process. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact U.S. Coast
Guard Sector Buffalo (see ADDRESSES.)

requirements contained in the Chromium (VI) standard (29 CFR parts
1910, 1915, 1917, 1918, and 1926) have been approved by OMB under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The OMB approval number is 1218-0252.
DATES: This final rule is effective July 5, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Todd Owen, OSHA, Directorate of
Standards and Guidance, Room N-3609, U.S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone (202) 693-
2222.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSHA published a final rule for chromium
(VI) (Cr(VI)) on February 28, 2006, after determining that employees
exposed to Cr(VI) are at increased risk of developing lung cancer (71
FR 10099). In addition, occupational exposure to Cr(VI) may result in
asthma, and damage to the nasal passages and the skin. The final rule
becomes effective on May 30, 2006. As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal Register notice for the Cr(VI) final
rule stated that compliance with the collection of information
requirements was not required until these requirements are approved by
OMB, and the Department of Labor publishes a notice in the Federal
Register announcing that OMB approved and assigned a control number to
the Cr(VI) requirements. Under 5 CFR 1320.5(b), an agency may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless: (1) The
collection of information displays a current valid OMB control number,
and (2) the agency informs members of the public who must respond to
the collection of information that they are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless the agency displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
On February 27, 2006, OSHA submitted the Cr(VI) information
collection request for the final rule to OMB for approval in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). On
March 28, 2006, OMB approved the collections of information contained
in the final rule and assigned this collection OMB Control Number 1218-
0252 title ``Chromium (VI) Standards for General Industry (29 CFR
1910.1026), Shipyard Employment (29 CFR 1915.1026),\1\ and Construction
(29 CFR 1926.1126).'' The approval for the collection expires on March
31, 2009. The approved collections of information are:
