SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 1,
2006, the Department of Commerce
published and requested comments on
an interim final rule that amended its
regulations to establish the date that the
Department uses in identifying those
records that it may consider when
responding to a Freedom of Information
Act request (71 FR 31073). The interim
final rule revised the regulations to state
that the records that are considered
responsive to a FOIA request include
those records that are within the
Department’s possession and control as
of the date the Department begins its
search for those records. We received no
public comments on the interim final
rule. Therefore, the provisions of the
interim final rule published on June 1,
2006 are adopted without change.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On March 19, 2007, we published a
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled Special Local Regulations for
Marine Events; Sail Virginia 2007, Port
of Hampton Roads, Virginia in the
Federal Register (72 FR 12746). We
received no letters commenting on the
proposed rule. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date
would be contrary to the public interest,
since immediate action is needed to
ensure the safety of the event
participants, support craft and other
vessels transiting the event area.
However, advance notifications will be
made to affected waterway users via
marine information broadcasts, area
newspapers, and local radio stations.
