Search Fees in Freedom of Information
Act Cases
Department of State.
Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of State
proposes to revise its regulations on fees
to be charged for searching for
information responsive to requests made
under the Freedom of Information Act.
The existing regulations have proved to
be unworkable, particularly in terms of
ascertaining the costs of electronic
searches.
The Department will consider
any comments from the public that are
received by September 18, 2007.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
to Margaret P. Grafeld, Director, Office
of Information Programs and Services,
(202) 261–8300, U.S. Department of
State, SA–2, 515 22nd St., NW.,
Washington, DC 20522–6001; Fax: 202–
261–8590. E-mail: GrafeldMP@state.gov.
If submitting comments by e-mail, you
must include the RIN in the subject line
of your message. You may view this rule
online at https://www.regulations.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Although
the current version of the search fee
provision was promulgated in 2004,
based largely on previous long-standing

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 20, 2007 / Proposed Rules
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with PROPOSALS
regulations, experience has shown that
the previous, as well as the current,
regulation could not, in fact, be given
full effect because the cost of computer
searches could not be fully ascertained
and because of the difficulties in
determining the salary costs attributable
to individuals doing manual searches,
particularly at overseas posts where
Foreign Service Nationals have a
different and more frequently changing
pay scale. By using average salary costs
of the categories of individuals involved
in a search (i.e., clerical, professional,
executive) instead of the actual salary of
each such individual, the proposed
revision will permit computer
calculation of the fees that should be as
accurate as the current method and
should not result in any substantial
increase or diminution of search fees
charged or collected.
Regulatory Findings
Administrative Procedure Act. The
Department is publishing this rule as a
proposed rule. Public comments are
invited for a period of 90 days following
this document’s publication in the
Federal Register.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The
Department, in accordance with the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
605(b)), has reviewed this proposed rule
and, by approving it, certifies that this
rule will not have significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995. This
proposed rule will not result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
in any year, and it will not significantly
or uniquely affect small governments.
Therefore, no actions are deemed
necessary under the provisions of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995.
Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. This
rule is not a major rule as defined by
section 804 of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Act of 1996.
This rule will not result in an annual
effect on the economy of $100 million
or more; a major increase in costs or
prices; or significant adverse effects on
competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or on the
ability of United States-based
companies to compete with foreign
based companies in domestic and
import markets.
Executive Order 12866. The
Department does not consider this rule
to be a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866,
section 3(f), Regulatory Planning and
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:23 Jun 19, 2007

Review. In addition, the Department is
exempt from Executive Order 12866
except to the extent that it is
promulgating regulations in conjunction
with a domestic agency that are
significant regulatory actions. The
Department has nevertheless reviewed
the regulation to ensure its consistency
with the regulatory philosophy and
principles set forth in that Executive
Order.
Executive Order 13132. This
regulation will not have substantial
direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national
government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with section 6 of Executive
Order 13132, it is determined that this
rule does not have sufficient federalism
implications to require consultations or
warrant the preparation of a federalism
summary impact statement.
Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule
does not impose any new reporting or
recordkeeping requirements subject to
the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35.
List Subjects in 22 CFR Part 171

preamble, 22 CFR part 171 of the Code

Approval and Promulgation of Air
Quality Implementation Plans; New

Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to
approve revisions to the New Mexico
State Implementation Plan (SIP) that
were submitted to EPA on April 11,
2002, and December 29, 2005. The
proposed revisions modify New
Mexico’s Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment
New Source Review (NNSR) regulations
in the SIP to address changes to the
Federal PSD and NNSR regulations,
which were promulgated by EPA on
December 31, 2002 and reconsidered
with minor changes on November 7,
2003 (collectively, these two Federal
actions are called the ‘‘2002 New Source
Review (NSR) Reform Rules’’). The
proposed revisions include provisions
for baseline emissions calculations, an
actual-to-projected-actual methodology
for calculating emissions changes,
options for plantwide applicability
limits (PALs), and recordkeeping and
reporting requirements. EPA is
proposing to approve these revisions
pursuant to section 110, parts C and D
of the Federal Clean Air Act (Act).
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before July 20, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
identified by Docket ID Number EPA–
