Download as PDF 60076 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 197 / Thursday, October 12, 2006 / Rules and Regulations the vessel monitoring capabilities of AIS are maximized. 3. MariTEL did not directly dispute these benefits. Rather, MariTEL contended that the Commission must weigh against those public interest benefits the interference to VHF Public Coast station operations that will be caused by the introduction of AIS technology as contemplated by the international standards, and the adverse impact of such interference on MariTEL’s ability to develop a viable maritime communications service. However, the Commission continues to believe that MariTEL overstates the interference impact of AIS equipment authorized on the basis of international standards, and that the challenges that may be presented by such potential interference can be surmounted using existing technology. In particular, the Commission continues to disagree with MariTEL’s contention that the AIS emission mask is not as stringent as the emission mask typically applicable to maritime transmitters under part 80 of the Commission’s rules. The Commission concludes that the public interest benefits of conforming its part 80 rules governing the certification of AIS equipment with those used in other nations and internationally clearly outweigh the costs, and that adoption of an alternative AIS certification standard would be in derogation of the paramount public interest in maximizing homeland security and maritime safety. The Commission therefore denies MariTEL’s petition for reconsideration. I. Procedural Matters A. Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis 1.

Contractor Personnel Deployment

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Final Rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action removes regulations pertaining to the deployment 
of contractor personnel in support of military operations. The 
regulations are superseded by a higher regulation, Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Subpart 225.74, Defense 
Contractors Outside the United States.

DATES: Effective Date: Effective October 12, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Steve Jaren, (703) 604-7105.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    In the November 28, 2003 issue of the Federal Register (68 FR 66738 
and 68 FR 66740), the Department of the Army issued two interim final 
rules to add 48 CFR part 5125, section 5125.74-9000 and amend 48 CFR 
part 5152. Subsequent amendments to the DFARS, on May 5, 2005 (70 FR 
23790) and June 16, 2006 (71 FR 34826), added DoD policy addressing 
situations that require contractor personnel to provide in-theater 
support to United States military forces engaged in contingency, 
humanitarian or peacekeeping, or certain other operations outside the 
United States, and incorporated significant terminology from the Army 
Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS), rendering the 
regulations at 48 CFR part 5125 and 48 CFR 5152.225-74-9000 obsolete.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    These rules 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 rules 
add no new requirements for contractors. These rules remove AFARS text 
that has become unnecessary as a result of policy that was added to the 
DFARS.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the rules do not 
impose any information collection requirements that require the 
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, 
et seq.
