FDA has special interest in ensuring that women, minority groups, and individuals with disabilities are adequately represented on advisory committees and, therefore, encourages nominations of qualified candidates from these groups.
Notice of Availability of Supplemental Information on Proposed Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) and Associated Resource Use Limitations for Public Lands for the Draft Rawlins Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (Draft RMP/EIS), Laramie, Albany, Carbon, and Eastern Sweetwater Counties, WY
On December 17, 2004, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published a Notice of Availability (Vol. 69, No. 242) of the Draft Rawlins Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement for public review and comment in the Federal Register. BLM planning regulations at 43 CFR 1610.7-2 require the BLM to notify the public of proposed ACECs in a Federal Register Notice. The proposed ACECs and resource use limitations that are identified in the Draft RMP/EIS were not specifically identified in the original notice. This notice fulfills the regulatory requirements. (Supplemental information can be found in the original Notice of Availability (NOA) published in the Federal Register.)
Palmer Barge Superfund Site in Jefferson County, TX; Settlement Agreement and Draft Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment
Pursuant to 43 CFR 11.32 and 11.81-.82, notice is hereby given that a proposed Settlement Agreement in resolution of the Natural Resource Trustees' claim for natural resource damages (Agreement) associated with the Palmer Barge Superfund Site and the ``Draft Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Palmer Barge Waste Site, Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas'' (Draft DARP/EA) are available for public review and comment. This document has been approved by the state and federal Natural Resource Trustee agencies to address natural resource injuries and resource services losses of an ecological nature attributable to releases of hazardous substances from the Palmer Barge Superfund Site (Site).The natural resource trustees include: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce; United States Department of the Interior (DOI); Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD); Texas General Land Office (GLO); and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The Natural Resource Trustees have reached a proposed agreement with E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Texaco Inc., Ashland Inc. and Kirby Inland Marine to resolve their liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) for damages to natural resources resulting from releases of hazardous substances from the Site. This draft DARP/EA presents the Trustees' assessment of these natural resource injuries and service losses attributable to the Site, and the plan for restoring ecological resources and services to compensate for those injuries and losses. The Trustees will consider input received during the public comment period before finalizing the DARP/EA.
Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent Extension; NAMENDA
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the regulatory review period for NAMENDA and is publishing this notice of that determination as required by law. FDA has made the determination because of the submission of two applications to the Director of Patents and Trademarks, Department of Commerce, for the extension of patents which claim that human drug product.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model DHC-8-400 Series Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This AD requires revising the Limitations section of the airplane flight manual to include procedures for pulling the ``HYD PWR XFER'' circuit breaker in the event of the loss of all hydraulic fluid in the No. 1 or No. 2 hydraulic system. This AD results from reports of fluid loss in the No. 2 hydraulic system, causing the power transfer unit to overspeed, increasing the fluid flow within the No. 1 hydraulic system. We are issuing this AD to prevent possible loss of both the No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic systems, resulting in the potential loss of several functions essential for safe flight and landing of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R Series Airplanes, and Model C4-605R Variant F Airplanes (Collectively Called A300-600 Series Airplanes)
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Airbus Model A300-600 series airplanes. That AD currently requires inspections of the lower door surrounding structure to detect cracks and corrosion; inspections to detect cracking of the holes of the corner doublers, the fail-safe ring, and the door frames of the door structures; and repair if necessary. That AD also provides for optional terminating action for certain inspections. This new AD retains all requirements of the existing AD, mandates the previously optional terminating action, reduces the applicability of the existing AD, and adds repetitive inspections behind scuff plates for certain affected airplanes. This AD results from a determination that further rulemaking is necessary to improve the fatigue behavior of the cabin door surroundings. We are issuing this AD to prevent corrosion between the scuff plates at exit and cargo doors and fatigue cracks originating from certain fastener holes located in adjacent structure, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the door surroundings.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model DHC-8-100, DHC-8-200, and DHC-8-300 Series Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier Model DHC-8-100, DHC-8-200, and DHC-8-300 series airplanes. This AD requires, for certain airplanes, modification of the upper bearing of the main landing gear (MLG) shock strut. This AD also requires, for certain airplanes, revising the de Havilland DHC-8 Maintenance Program Manual to include the MLG shock strut servicing task. This AD results from reports of over-extension of the MLG shock strut piston, which allows the torque links to go over-center and rest on the piston. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss in shock absorption during touchdown and failure of the shock strut housing, which could result in a subsequent loss of directional control.
Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-8-33, -42, and -43 Airplanes; Model DC-8-50 Series Airplanes; Model DC-8F-54 and -55 Airplanes; Model DC-8-60 Series Airplanes; Model DC-8-60F Series Airplanes; Model DC-8-72 Airplanes; and Model DC-8-70F Series Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain McDonnell Douglas airplanes described previously. This AD requires installing bonding jumpers to the airplane wing structure from the fuel system in-line electrical solenoid valves along the left and right wing front spar. This AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent point- of-contact arcing or filament heating damage in the fuel lines that could create a potential ignition source, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could cause a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
Exchange Visitor Program-College and University Students, Student Interns
The Department is hereby proposing to revise its regulations concerning College and University Students. The proposed Rule, if adopted, will create a new subcategory of the College and University Student category``Student Interns''. Participation in this new sub- category is open to foreign students enrolled and pursuing full-time studies at a post-secondary educational institution outside the United States. Student interns may participate in a student internship program for up to 12 months at each degree level.
Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80 Series Turbofan Engines
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for GE CF6-80 series turbofan engines with fuel shroud retaining rings, part number (P/N) J204P0084, installed. This AD requires replacing those retaining rings with a more robust design fuel shroud retaining snap ring. This AD results from two events of external engine fuel leakage and a subsequent under-cowl engine fire. We are issuing this AD to prevent an under-cowl engine fire and damage to the airplane during an engine high vibration event.
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding on a Petition To List the Wolverine as Threatened or Endangered
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the opening of a public comment period regarding the status of the wolverine (Gulo gulo luscus) in the contiguous United States. We are initiating this status review pursuant to a court order requiring us to prepare a 12-month finding on a petition to list the wolverine in the contiguous United States as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Through this action, we encourage all interested parties to provide us information regarding the status of, and any potential threats to, the wolverine in the contiguous United States.
Chartering and Field of Membership for Federal Credit Unions
The NCUA Board is proposing amendments to its chartering and field of membership manual to update community chartering policies in response to NCUA's experience with reviewing applications of credit unions seeking community charters. These changes include clarifying the documentation requirements for a local community and adding a public comment procedure for certain types of multiple political jurisdiction community charter applications.
Federal Credit Union Bylaws
NCUA is proposing to reincorporate the Federal Credit Union (FCU) Bylaws into NCUA regulations. This change clarifies NCUA's ability to use a range of enforcement authorities, in appropriate cases, to enforce the FCU Bylaws. In addition, NCUA is adding a bylaw provision on director succession, an issue it has previously addressed in legal opinions, and is revising the introduction to the Bylaws to conform it to these changes.
Fees for Unified Carrier Registration Plan and Agreement; Correction
On May 29, 2007, (72 FR 29472), FMCSA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register that would establish annual fees and a fee bracket structure for the Unified Carrier Registration Agreement. This action is required under the Unified Carrier Registration Act of 2005, enacted as Subtitle C of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users. This document corrects some errors in that proposed rule.
Privacy Act; Inter-Country Adoptions
Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is updating and re-issuing a legacy system of records, Department of Justice DOJ/Immigration and Naturalization (INS)007 SORN known as Orphan Petitioner Index and Files that was published on July 27, 2001, 66 FR 39199. This system of records will now be referred to as DHS/ USCIS-005 Inter-Country Adoptions.
Privacy Act; Background Check Services System of Records
Pursuant to Updated Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is updating the Background Check Service system of records to include a new category of individuals, which is other individuals over the age of 18 residing in a prospective adoptive parent's household pursuant to 8 CFR 204.3 (herein referred to as ``other individuals''). Additionally, DHS is adding a new routine use consistent with Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-07-16, Attachment 2 that permits DHS to be in the best position to respond in a timely and effective manner in the event of a data breach. This republished system of records notice will replace the previously published system of records notice for the Background Check System, Federal Register on December 4, 2006 (71 FR 070413).
Privacy Act; IDENT System of Records
The Department of Homeland Security is republishing the Privacy Act system of records notice for the Automated Biometric Identification System in order (1) to add a category of records that comprises unique personal identifiers that links individuals with their encounters, biometrics, records, and other data elements and (2) to add a new routine use consistent with Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-07-16, Attachment 2 that permits DHS to be in the best position to respond in a timely and effective manner in the event of a data breach. This republished system of records notice will replace the previously published system of records notice for the Automated Biometric Identification System, Federal Register on July 27, 2006 (71 FR 42651).

Regulations Governing Securities Held in TreasuryDirect
TreasuryDirect is an account-based, book-entry, online system for purchasing, holding, and conducting transactions in Treasury securities. An account owner currently accesses his or her account using a password to authenticate the account owner's identity. Treasury is now introducing additional customer-based authentication mechanisms for accessing accounts. This final rule provides Treasury the flexibility to require additional methods of authentication for the protection of customer accounts. Treasury is also strengthening its ability to respond to attempted fraud and abuse of TreasuryDirect. Currently, Treasury has the authority to close any account. This rule explicitly permits Treasury to liquidate the securities held in the account to be closed and pay the proceeds to the person entitled.
Authorizations Under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act for Take of Eagles
In anticipation of possible removal (delisting) of the bald eagle from the List of Threatened and Endangered Wildlife under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (``we'' or ``the Service'') is proposing new permit regulations to authorize the take of bald and golden eagles under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act), generally where the take to be authorized is associated with otherwise lawful activities. Second, we are proposing regulatory provisions to provide take authorization under the Eagle Act to ESA section 10 permittees who continue to operate in full compliance with the terms and conditions of their existing permits. Additionally, these proposed permit regulations would establish permit provisions for intentional take of eagle nests in rare cases where their location poses a risk to human safety or to the eagles themselves.
Protection of Eagles; Definition of “Disturb”
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, announce the availability of a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) evaluating the possible effects of defining ``disturb'' under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act), and a Finding of No Significant Impact for the preferred alternative. We prepared the environmental assessment as part of the National Environmental Policy Act process. Based on public comments received on the draft environmental assessment (DEA) and proposed rule defining disturb, we modified the preferred alternative in the FEA, and have adopted the modified version of the preferred alternative as the final definition of ``disturb'' under the Eagle Act. The final rule codifying the definition of ``disturb'' is published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines
This notice advises the public that National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines are available to the public.
Protection of Eagles; Definition of “Disturb”
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service), are codifying a definition of ``disturb'' under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act). Given that the Eagle Act's prohibition against disturbance applies to both bald and golden eagles, the definition will apply to golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) as well as bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). If the bald eagle is delisted, the Eagle Act will be the primary law protecting bald as well as golden eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits unregulated take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of ``take'' that includes ``disturb.'' Although disturbing eagles has been prohibited by the Eagle Act since the statute's enactment in 1940, the meaning of ``disturb'' has not been explicitly defined by the Service or by the courts. To define ``disturb,'' we considered Congressional intent, the common meaning of the term as applied to the conservation intent of the Eagle Act, and the working definitions of ``disturb'' currently used by Federal and State agencies to manage eagles. This definition of ``disturb'' will apply to eagles in Alaska, where the bald eagle has never been listed under the ESA, as well as eagles throughout the 48 contiguous States. (Eagles do not occur in Hawaii.) In addition to this final rule, the Service is publishing three related documents elsewhere in today's Federal Register: a notice of availability of the final environmental assessment for the definition of ``disturb''; a notice of availability for National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines; and a proposed rule to codify additional take authorizations under the Eagle Act.
