SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
published this direct final rule with a
request for comments in the Federal
Register on Monday, July 17, 2006 (71
FR 40394). The FAA uses the direct
final rulemaking procedure for noncontroversial actions where the FAA
believes that there will be no adverse
public comment. The direct final rule
advised the public that no adverse
comments were anticipated, and that
unless a written adverse comment, or a
written notice of intent to submit such
an adverse comment, were received
within the comment period, the
regulation would become effective on
November 23, 2006.
One comment was received via
telephone, in which the person voiced
opposition to the name change. That
opinion is not within the scope of this
action, in that it does not address any
aeronautical effect. His complaint is
with the U.S. Army’s decision to change
the name. This action essentially
addresses the title of the airspace
annoted in the the FAA Order 7400.8.
No other adverse comments were
received. This notice confirms that the
rule will become effective on that date.

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy
is amending its certifications and
exemptions under the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at
Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that
the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty and Maritime Law)
has determined that USS NEW
ORLEANS (LPD 18) is a vessel of the
Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot fully
comply with certain provisions of the 72
COLREGS without interfering with its
special function as a naval ship. The
intended effect of this rule is to warn
mariners in waters where 72 COLREGS
apply.
DATES:
Effective Date: August 18, 2006.

Pursuant
to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.
1605, the Department of the Navy
amends 32 CFR part 706. This
amendment provides notice that the
Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty and Maritime Law),
under authority delegated by the
Secretary of the Navy, has certified that
USS NEW ORLEANS (LPD 18) is a
vessel of the Navy which, due to its
special construction and purpose,
cannot fully comply with the following
specific provisions of 72 COLREGS
without interfering with its special
function as a naval ship: Rule 27,
pertaining to the placement of all-round
task lights in a vertical line; Annex I,
paragraph 3(a), pertaining to the
horizontal distance between the forward
and after masthead lights; and Annex I,
paragraph 2(k), pertaining to the vertical
separation between anchor lights. The
Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty and Maritime Law)
has also certified that the lights
involved are located in closest possible
compliance with the applicable 72
COLREGS requirements.
Moreover, it has been determined, in
accordance with 32 CFR Parts 296 and
701, that publication of this amendment
for public comment prior to adoption is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to public interest since it is
based on technical findings that the
placement of lights on this vessel in a

General Guidelines for Systematic
Declassification Review of Foreign
Government Information; Removal of
Part
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Final rule.
ycherry on PROD1PC64 with RULES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA) is
removing Information Security
Oversight Office (ISOO) regulations on
the general guidelines for systematic
declassification review of foreign
government information. Following the
issuance of Executive Order 12958
(Classified National Security
Information) on April 17, 1995, and its
amendment on March 25, 2003, the
General Guidelines for Systematic
Declassification Review of Foreign
Government Information, became
obsolete. The final rule will affect
Federal agencies.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective September 7,
2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J.
William Leonard, Director, ISOO, at
202–357–5400.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
authority citation for part 2002 is no
longer valid with the revocation of E.O.
12356 following the issuance of E.O.
12958, as amended. Part 2002
prescribed the general guidelines for the
systematic declassification review of
classified foreign government
information that was either received or
classified by the United States
Government or its agents, and
incorporated into records determined by
the Archivist of the United States to
have permanent value. E.O. 12958, as
amended, and its implementing
regulation, 32 CFR parts 2001 and 2004
(ISOO Directive No. 1), provide for the
declassification of classified foreign
government information. As national
security classified information,
classified foreign government
information is subject to automatic
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:07 Sep 06, 2006
Jkt 208001
declassification after 25 years unless
specifically exempted.
Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), good cause exists for waiving
the requirements of notice and
opportunity for comment on the
withdrawal of 32 CFR part 2002.
Following the issuance of Executive
Order 12958, as amended, these sections
became obsolete. Therefore, because the
Information Security Oversight Office
(ISOO) has no authority to retain these
sections, the process of notice and
comment would be unproductive and is
unnecessary. Additionally, it is in the
public interest to remove an obsolete
regulation.
This rule is not a significant
regulatory action for the purposes of
Executive Order 12866 and has not been
submitted for Office of Management and
Budget review under that order. As
required by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, I certify that this rule will not have
a significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities because this
rule applies to Federal agencies. This
regulation does not have any federalism
implications.

deviation from the regulation governing
the operation of the U.S. 1 Bridge,
across the Housatonic River, mile 3.5, at
Stratford, Connecticut. Under this
temporary deviation, only one of the
two moveable bascule spans will be
opened for the passage of vessel traffic.
This deviation is necessary to facilitate
scheduled bridge maintenance.
DATES: This deviation is effective from
September 18, 2006 through November
16, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Materials referred to in this
document are available for inspection or
copying at the First Coast Guard
District, Bridge Branch Office, One
South Street, New York, New York
10004, between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The First Coast Guard District
Bridge Branch Office maintains the
public docket for this temporary
deviation.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judy
Leung-Yee, Project Officer, First Coast
Guard District, at (212) 668–7165.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 1
Bridge across the Housatonic River, mile
3.5, at Stratford, Connecticut, has a
vertical clearance in the closed position
of 32 feet at mean high water and 37 feet
at mean low water. The existing
operating regulations are listed at 33
CFR 117.207(a).
The bridge owner, Connecticut
Department of Transportation, requested
a temporary deviation to allow opening
only one of the two moveable bascule
spans for the passage of vessel traffic
from September 18, 2006 through
November 16, 2006, in order to facilitate
scheduled bridge maintenance.
Under this temporary deviation, the
U.S. 1 Bridge need only open one of the
two movable bascule spans for the
passage of vessel traffic from September
18, 2006 through November 16, 2006.
Two-span, full bridge, openings shall be
provided upon request, if at least a
three-day advance notice is given, by
calling the number posted at the bridge.
Otherwise, the bridge will continue to
open during this temporary deviation in
accordance with the schedule specified
in 33 CFR 117.207(a).
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c),
this work will be performed with all due
speed in order to return the bridge to
normal operation as soon as possible.
Should the bridge maintenance
authorized by this temporary deviation
be completed before the end of the
effective period published in this notice,
the Coast Guard will rescind the
remainder of this temporary deviation,
the bridge shall be returned to its
normal operating schedule, and notice
will be provided to the public.
