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.
DATES: The direct final rule published
on September 28, 2006 (71 FR 56872),
is withdrawn as of November 21, 2006.

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:

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.

Adding New Military Resale Number Series
AGENCY: Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
ADDRESSES: 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

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 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.

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

agencies requested these number series, it is highly unlikely that
there would be any adverse comments on this rule. Because this

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
