§ 366.7 Procedures for obtaining exempt
wholesale generator and foreign utility
company status.
(a) Self-certification notice procedure.
An exempt wholesale generator or a
foreign utility company, or its
representative, may file with the
Commission a notice of self-certification
demonstrating that it satisfies the
definition of exempt wholesale
generator or foreign utility company
(including stating the location of its
generation); such notices of selfcertification must be subscribed,
consistent with § 385.2005(a) of this
chapter, but need not be verified. In the
case of exempt wholesale generators, the
person filing a notice of self-certification
under this section must also file a copy
of the notice of self-certification with
the state regulatory authority of the state
in which the facility is located, and that

person must also represent to this
Commission in its submittal with this
Commission that it has filed a copy of
the notice of self-certification with the
state regulatory authority of the state in
which the facility is located. Notice of
the filing of a notice of self-certification
will be published in the Federal
Register. Persons that file a notice of
self-certification must include a form of
notice suitable for publication in the
Federal Register in accordance with the
specifications in § 385.203(d) of this
chapter. A person filing a notice of selfcertification in good faith will be
deemed to have temporary exempt
wholesale generator or foreign utility
company status. If the Commission
takes no action within 60 days from the
date of filing of the notice of selfcertification, the self-certification shall
be deemed to have been granted;
however, consistent with section 32(c)
of the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935 (15 U.S.C. 79z–5a (c)) any
self-certification of an exempt wholesale
generator may not become effective
until the relevant state commissions
have made the determinations provided
for therein if such determinations are
necessary (if such determinations are
not necessary, the notice of selfcertification should state so). The
Commission may toll the 60-day period
to request additional information, or for
further consideration of the request; in
such cases, the person’s exempt
wholesale generator or foreign utility
company status will remain temporary
until such time as the Commission has
determined whether to grant or deny
exempt wholesale generator or foreign
utility company status; however,
consistent with section 32(c) of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935 (15 U.S.C. 79z–5a (c)), any selfcertification of an exempt wholesale
generator may not become effective
until the relevant state commissions
have made the determinations provided
for therein if such determinations are
necessary (if such determinations are
not necessary, the notice of selfcertification should state so). Authority
to toll the 60-day period is delegated to
the Secretary or the Secretary’s
designee, and authority to act on
uncontested notices of self-certification
is delegated to the General Counsel or
the General Counsel’s designee.
(b) Optional procedure for
Commission determination of exempt
wholesale generator status or foreign
utility company status. A person may
file for a Commission determination of
exempt wholesale generator status or
foreign utility company status under
§ 366.1 by filing a petition for

declaratory order pursuant to
§ 385.207(a) of this chapter, justifying
the request for such status; however,
consistent with section 32(c) of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935 (15 U.S.C. 79z–5a (c)), a
Commission determination of exempt
wholesale generator status may not
become effective until the relevant state
commissions have made the
determinations provided for therein if
such determinations are necessary. (If
such determinations are not necessary,
the petition for declaratory order should
state so.) Persons that file petitions must
include a form of notice suitable for
publication in the Federal Register in
accordance with the specifications in
§ 385.203(d) of this chapter.

(e) An exempt wholesale generator
shall not be subject to any requirements
of this part other than § 366.7, i.e.,
procedures for obtaining exempt
wholesale generator status. A foreign
utility company shall not be subject to
any requirements of this part other than
§ 366.7, i.e., procedures for obtaining
foreign utility company status.

(DoD) published a final rule document
on May 12, 2006 promulgating the
Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) rule
regarding the scope, characteristics,

2705(d)(2)(A), which requires the
Secretary of Defense to prescribe
regulations regarding RABs. That rule
was based on DoD’s current policies for
establishing and operating RABs, as
well as the Department’s experience
over the past ten years. This document
makes administrative corrections to the
preamble of that document.
DATES: This rule is effective July 28,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
[CGD07–05–162]
On February 23, 2006, we published
a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NRPM) entitled Drawbridge Operation
Regulations; N.E. 14th Street, Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway, Mile 1055.0, at
Pompano Beach, FL, in the Federal
Register (71 FR 9300). We received no
letters commenting on the proposed
rule. No public meeting was requested,
and none was held.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective in less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. These repairs are necessary to
protect the safety of the public, and
delaying them would be contrary to the
public interest. In addition, we received
no objections to this rule during the
NPRM comment period and this rule
provides for scheduled single-leaf
bridge openings, as well as double-leaf
openings after four hours notice, for
vessels to transit past the bridge.
RIN 1625–AA09
Background and Purpose
Drawbridge Operation Regulation; N.E.
14th Street Bridge, Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway, Mile 1055.0,
Pompano, FL
PCL Civil Constructors, Inc. on behalf
of the Florida Department of
Transportation has requested the Coast
Guard temporarily change the existing
regulations governing the operation of
the N.E. 14th Street Bridge across the
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway by
allowing single-leaf operation during
bridge rehabilitation. The N.E. 14th
Street Bridge is located on the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway, mile 1055.0,
Pompano, Florida. The current
regulation governing the operation of
the N.E. 14th Street Bridge is published
in 33 CFR 117.261(cc) and requires the
bridge to open on signal except that,
from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., the draw need
open only on the quarter-hour and
three-quarter hour.
The Coast Guard is temporarily
changing the operating regulations of
the N.E. 14th Street Bridge from July 5,
2006 to September 30, 2006 so that the
bridge will operate a single-leaf twice an
hour unless a four hour notice is given
for double-leaf openings.
Dated: July 24, 2006.

ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
temporarily changing the regulations
governing the operation of the N.E. 14th
Street Bridge, Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway mile 1055.0, Pompano,
Florida. This temporary rule provides
for solely single-leaf bridge operations
twice an hour between July 5, 2006 and
September 30, 2006. During this period,
the bridge will operate on a single-leaf
schedule unless a four hour notice is
provided for double-leaf openings.
DATES: This temporary rule is effective
from July 5, 2006 until September 30,
2006.

repairs to the bridge.

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
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). The Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation is unnecessary, because the
rule will allow for bridge openings
during the repairs to this bridge.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this rule would 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,
because the regulations provide for
bridge openings, short closure periods
and will provide for the reasonable
needs of navigation.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we offered to assist small entities in
understanding this rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects on them and
participate in the rulemaking process. If
this rule would affect your small
business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person
listed in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
