Interstate Movement of Fruits and Vegetables From Hawaii
Document Number: E7-3124
Type: Rule
Date: 2007-02-23
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are amending the regulations to remove vapor heat treatment as an approved treatment for bell pepper, eggplant, Italian squash, and tomato moved interstate from Hawaii. This action is necessary because these four commodities can serve as hosts for the solanum fruit fly, which has been detected in Hawaii. Vapor heat treatment is not an approved treatment for that pest. We are also providing for the use of irradiation as an approved treatment for all Capsicum spp. (peppers) and Cucurbita spp. (squash) moved interstate from Hawaii. This action will relieve unnecessary restrictions on the interstate movement of peppers and squash and allow a greater variety of Capsicum spp. and Cucurbita spp. to be moved interstate from Hawaii.
Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs; Office of Canadian Affairs; Interpretative Guidance on Non-Pipeline Elements of E.O. 13337, amending E.O. 11423
Document Number: E7-3123
Type: Notice
Date: 2007-02-23
Agency: Department of State
Executive Order 11423, of August 16, 1968, as amended, authorizes the Secretary of State to issue Presidential permits for the construction of facilities crossing the international borders of the United States, including, but not limited to, bridges and tunnels connecting the United States with Canada or Mexico. Section 2(a) of Executive Order 13337, dated April 30, 2004, amended Executive Order 11423, inter alia, by authorizing the Secretary of State to issue Presidential permits for ``border crossings for land transportation, including motor or rail vehicles, to or from a foreign country, whether or not in conjunction with the facilities'' to which Executive Order 11423 previously applied. This new language is found in section 1(a)(vi) of Executive Order 11423, as amended. In seeking to provide guidance to the public concerning its exercise of this new permitting authority, the Department has determined, after giving the matter careful consideration, that the new ``land border crossing'' language of section 1(a)(vi) will apply to all new crossings of the international border as well as to all substantial modifications of existing crossings of the international border. The Department assembled an interagency working group, consisting of relevant State Department personnel and personnel from other interested Federal agencies, to prepare further guidance on application of this interpretation of section 1(a)(vi) in the future. Over the course of two years, this working group studied how to implement the new and amended Executive Orders in an efficient manner. DOS intends to review this guidance periodically with participants in the interagency working group, and may modify or amend it accordingly. The guidance document and annexes are quoted in full below, under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

EPAAR Prescription and Solicitation Provision-EPA Green Meetings and Conferences
Document Number: E7-3114
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-02-23
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is proposing to revise the EPA Acquisition Regulation (EPAAR) Subparts 1523 and 1552 to establish policy and procedures for acquiring environmentally preferable meeting and conference services. This proposed EPAAR revision will add a prescription and solicitation provision that Agency employees will be required to use when soliciting quotes or offers for meeting and conference space and services. The solicitation provision will require meeting and conference venues to provide EPA with information about environmentally preferable features and practices in use at their facilities. As stated in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), environmentally preferable products and services are those ``that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose.'' The intent of this rule is to ensure that environmental preferability is considered in each purchase of commercial meeting and conference services, which furthers the EPA mission to protect human health and the environment. This action revises the EPAAR, but does not impose any new requirements on Agency contractors. The procedure will require Agency employees to request information from prospective meeting venues about their environmentally preferable (green) practices for consideration in the award decision, thus encouraging the industry to adopt more of these practices so that we will be more likely to do business with them. This rule imposes no requirement or standard that a facility must meet in order to do business with us.
