AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:09 Oct 19, 2006 Jkt 211001 Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. ACTION: SUMMARY: The Departments of Commerce and the Interior jointly administer the Insular Possessions Watch Program. Under this program, insular possessions watch producers may receive duty-free treatment of certain watches imported into the customs territory of the United States. This action invites comments from insular watch producers and interested parties on possible options for revising the maximum total value of watch components per watch and watch movement that are eligible for duty-free entry into the United States under the insular watch program. DATES: Comments must be submitted by November 20, 2006. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Faye Robinson, Director, Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room 2104, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th and Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20230. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Faye Robinson, (202) 482–3526. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Departments of Commerce and the Interior (the Departments) administer the watch duty-exemption allocations and the watch and jewelry duty-refund benefits for producers in the United States insular possessions (the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) in accordance with Public Law 97–446, as amended by Public Law 103–465, Public Law 106–36 and Public Law 108–429. Currently, the insular watch program does not allow watch movements and watches assembled from components with a value of more than $35 for watch movements and $800 for watches to receive program duty exemption benefits as set forth in Section 303.14(b)(3) of the Department of Commerce’s regulations (15 CFR 303.14(b)(3)) even if the watch movements and watches have met all other program requirements. On July 25, 2006, we received a letter from the U.S. Virgin Islands Watch & Jewelry Manufacturers Association requesting that the Department of Commerce reexamine the current value limits for watches which are assembled in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Association asserted that the cost of gold has more than doubled in the past year, making it impossible to continue a viable and steady production of gold watches. In light of the foregoing, the Departments would like to receive comment on whether to change the PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 61923 maximum value of watch components per watch and watch movement that are eligible for benefits under the program and, if so, what that value might be. In particular, we are interested in receiving comments on four options: • Leave the maximum value of watch components per watch and watch movement at their current level. • Raise the maximum value of a watch components per watch to $1,250 and watch movement to $50. • Remove any restriction on the value of watch components per watch and watch movement. • Index the maximum value of watch components per watch to the New York spot gold index price per day as reported in the Wall Street Journal and leave the value of the watch movement components at the current level. Persons wishing to comment should submit a signed original copy of comments by the due date. The Departments will consider all comments received by the due date. Comments received after the due date will be considered, if possible, but their consideration cannot be assured.

Notice of proposed rulemaking. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to temporarily change the drawbridge operating regulations governing the operation of the New Jersey Transit Rail Operations (NJTRO) railroad bridge, mile 0.2, at Morgan, New Jersey. This proposed rule would allow the NJTRO railroad bridge to remain in the closed position from January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007. This rule is necessary to facilitate structural bridge rehabilitation. DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or before November 20, 2006. ADDRESSES: You may mail comments and related material to Commander (dpb), First Coast Guard District Bridge Branch, One South Street, Battery Park Building, New York, New York, 10004, or deliver them to the same address between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except, Federal holidays. The telephone number is (212) 668–7165. The First Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch, maintains the public docket for this rulemaking. Comments and material received from the public, as well as documents indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket, will become part of this docket and will be available for inspection or copying at the First Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch, between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Joe Arca, Project Officer, First Coast Guard District, (212) 668–7165. PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Request for Comments We encourage you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting comments and related material. If you do so, please include your name and address, identify the docket number for this rulemaking CGD01–06–109, indicate the specific section of this document to which each comment applies, and give the reason for each comment. Please submit all comments and related material in an unbound format, no larger than 81⁄2 by 11 inches, suitable for copying. If you would like to know if they reached us, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard or envelope. We will consider all comments and material received during the comment period. We may change this proposed rule in view of them. Public Meeting We do not now plan to hold a public meeting; however, you may submit a request for a meeting by writing to the First Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch, at the address under ADDRESSES explaining why one would be beneficial. If we determine that one would aid this rulemaking, we will hold one at a time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register. Background and Purpose The NJTRO railroad bridge has a vertical clearance of 3 feet at mean high water, and 8 feet at mean low water in the closed position. The existing drawbridge operating regulations, listed at 33 CFR 117.709(b), require the bridge to open on signal; except that, at least a four-hour notice for bridge openings is required from January 1 through March 31 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. The bridge owner, New Jersey Transit Rail Operations (NJTRO), requested a temporary rule to facilitate structural and mechanical rehabilitation at the NJTRO railroad bridge. Under this temporary rule, the NJTRO railroad bridge may remain closed to navigation from January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007. Vessels that can pass under the bridge without an opening may do so at all times. A small number of fishing boats are docked upstream from the NJTRO railroad bridge; however, Cheesequake Creek is predominantly a recreational waterway. From January through March, the recreational vessels are in winter storage and the waterway is normally not transited. The Coast Guard met with the mariners in June and July 2006, to discuss this bridge project and related closure. The mariners agreed with the E:\FR\FM\20OCP1.SGM 20OCP1
