ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule. AGENCY: cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES SUMMARY: On September 28, 2006 (71 FR 56872), EPA published a direct final rule approving Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions that pertain to regulations to control Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from facilities in Texas. The direct final action was published without prior proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse comment. EPA stated in the direct final rule that if EPA received adverse comment by October 30, 2006, EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA subsequently received a timely adverse comment on the direct final rule. Therefore, EPA is withdrawing the direct final approval. EPA will address the comment in a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal also published on September 28, 2006 (71 FR 56920). As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

E6–19639 Filed 11–20–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560–50–P COMMITTEE FOR PURCHASE FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE BLIND OR SEVERELY DISABLED 41 CFR Part 51 RIN 3037–AA06 Adding New Military Resale Number Series Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled. ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (the Committee) has in its procurement program nonprofit agencies that sell products to military commissary stores for resale. The items sold are assigned to specific number series so that the nonprofit agencies, the Committee, and the military stores may identify the specific products. The number series are only used for identification of specific products sold in the military stores. These product numbers are internal only to the Committee, the nonprofit agencies, and the military commissaries. This proposed rule adds additional number series to the authorized series so that replacement products may have their own unique identifying numbers. DATES: Effective Date: November 21, 2006. The Committee office is located at Jefferson Plaza 2, Suite 10800, 1421 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202–3259. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For more information, contact Kimberly Zeich by telephone (703) 603–7740, or by facsimile at (703) 603–0030, or by mail at the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled, 1421 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Suite 10800, Arlington, VA 22202–3259. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee’s regulation at 41 CFR 51– 6.4, Military Resale Commodities, requires military commissary stores and other military resale outlets to stock certain products in the Committee’s ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 67311 program, which are identified by special military resale number series. 41 CFR 51–6.4 references number series 400–, 500–, 800–, 900– and 1000–series, with the 800–, 900–, and 1000–series being stocked exclusively and all series being stocked in as broad a range as practicable. Additional number series are required because the numbers cannot be re-used after being assigned to a product. The expansion of the number series will not expand the scope of the military resale products, rather it will allow for the effective administration and maintenance of the military resale program at its current level. This final rule adds series 300–, 1100– and 10,000– (10,000–10,999) to 41 CFR 51– 6.4(b); series 0– (0–99), 200–, 300–, 600–, 700–, 1100–, 1200– (1200–9999), and 10000– (10000–10999) to 41 CFR 51–6.4(c)(2) to be stocked in as broad a range as practicable; series 300–, 1100–, and 10000– (10000–10999) to 41 CFR 51–6.4(c)(4); and series 300–, 1100– and 10,000– (10,000–10,999) to 41 CFR 51–6.4(d). Executive Order 12866: This agency has made the determination that this rule is not significant for the purposes of EO 12866. Administrative Procedure Act: The Committee finds under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) that good cause exists to waive prior notice and opportunity for public comment. This final rule simply adds numbers to a series of number that already exist. These series are internal to this agency and have no impact on nonprofit agencies not working in the military resale area. National Industries for the Blind, a central nonprofit agency in the Committee’s program, requested these specific number series on behalf of the nonprofit agencies that participate in the military resale arena. The Defense Commissary Agency also asked the Committee to take this action. Since both the Federal and nonprofit agencies requested these number series, it is highly unlikely that there would be any adverse comments on this rule. Because this amendment is not a substantive change to the regulation, it is unnecessary to provide notice and opportunity for public comment. Further, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 (b)(3)(A), this rule of agency organization, procedure and practice is not subject to the requirement to provide prior notice and opportunity for public comment. The Committee also finds that the 30-day delay in effectiveness, required under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), is inapplicable because this rule is not a substantive rule. This final rule merely expands the series of item numbers for use in the military resale program. E:\FR\FM\21NOR1.SGM 21NOR1
