(1) The debtor is unable to pay any
significant sum toward the debt within
a reasonable period of time;
(2) Collection of interest, penalties,
and administrative costs will jeopardize
collection of the principal of the debt;
(3) The NLRB is unable to enforce
collection in full within a reasonable
period of time by enforced collection
proceedings; or
(4) Collection is not in the best
interest of the United States, including
when an administrative offset or
installment agreement is in effect.
(e) The NLRB is authorized to impose
interest and related charges on debts not
subject to 31 U.S.C. 3717, in accordance
with common law.
§ 100.618
Bankruptcy claims.
When the NLRB learns that a
bankruptcy petition has been filed by a
debtor, before proceeding with further
collection action, the NLRB will
immediately seek legal advice from the
NLRB’s Office of Special Counsel
concerning the impact of the
Bankruptcy Code on any pending or
contemplated collection activities. After
seeking legal advice from the NLRB’s
Office of Special Counsel, the NLRB
will take any necessary action in
accordance with the provisions of 31
CFR Chapter IX § 901.2(h).
§ 100.619 When a debt may be
compromised.
The NLRB may compromise a debt
not in excess of the monetary limitation
in accordance with 31 CFR Chapter IX
part 902 if it has not been referred to the
Department of Justice for litigation.
§ 100.620
An offer of compromise must be in
writing and signed by the debtor. An
offer of compromise which is accepted
by the NLRB is final and conclusive on
the debtor and on all officials, agencies,
and courts of the United States, unless
obtained by fraud, misrepresentation,
the presentation of a false claim, or
mutual mistake of fact.

§ 100.621 When collection action may be
terminated or suspended.
The NLRB may suspend or terminate
collection action on a claim not in
excess of the monetary limitation of
$100,000 or such other amount as the
Attorney General may direct, exclusive
of interest, penalties, and administrative
costs, after deducting the amount of
partial payments or collections, if any,
in accordance with the standards and
reasons set forth in 31 CFR Chapter IX
part 903.

Jkt 211001
Termination of collection action.
Before terminating collection activity,
the NLRB will have pursued all
appropriate means of collection and
determined, based upon results of the
collection activity, that the debt is
uncollectible. Termination of collection
activity ceases active collection of the
debt. The termination of collection
activity does not preclude the NLRB
from retaining a record of the account
for the purposes stated in 31 CFR
Chapter IX § 903.3(b) and (c).
§ 100.623
Exception to termination.
If a debt meets the exceptions
described in 31 CFR Chapter IX § 903.4,
the NLRB may refer it for litigation even
though termination of collection activity
may otherwise be appropriate.
§ 100.624 Discharge of indebtedness;
reporting requirements.
(a) Before discharging a delinquent
debt (also referred to as close-out of a
debt), the NLRB shall take all
appropriate steps to collect the debt in
accordance with 31 U.S.C. 3711(g),
including, as applicable, administrative
offset, tax refund offset, Federal salary
offset, referral to Treasury or Treasurydesignated collection centers or private
collection contractors, credit bureau
reporting, wage garnishment, litigation,
and foreclosure. Discharge of
indebtedness is distinct from
termination or suspension of collection
activity and is governed by the Internal
Revenue Code. When the NLRB
determines that it will discharge a debt,
it will do so in accordance with the
provisions of 31 CFR Chapter IX § 903.5.
§ 100.625 Referral of a claim to the
Department of Justice.
Finality of a compromise.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
§ 100.622
The NLRB shall promptly refer debts
that are subject to aggressive collection
activity and that cannot be
compromised, or debts on which
collection activity cannot be suspended
or terminated, to the Department of
Justice for litigation. Debts shall be
referred as early as possible, consistent
with the standards contained if 31 CFR
Chapter IX parts 900–904 and, in any
event, well within the period for
initiating timely lawsuits against the
debtors. The NLRB will make every
effort to refer delinquent debts to the
Department of Justice within one year of
the date such debts became delinquent.
By Direction of the Board.
Dated in Washington, DC July 12, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists
for not publishing an NPRM. Logistical
details surrounding the event were not
finalized and presented to the Coast
Guard in time to draft and publish an
NPRM. As such, the event would occur
before the rulemaking process was
complete. Because of the dangers posed
by the pyrotechnics used in this
fireworks display, a safety zone is
necessary to provide for the safety of
event participants, spectator craft, and
other vessels transiting the event area.
For the safety concerns noted, it is in
the public interest to have this
regulation in effect during the event.
For the same reasons listed in the
previous paragraph, 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. Any
delay in the effective date of this rule
would expose mariners to the dangers
posed by the pyrotechnics used in this
fireworks display.
Background and Purpose
Giants Enterprises is sponsoring a
brief fireworks display on July 27, 2007,
in the waters of San Francisco Bay near
AT&T Park. The Coast Guard has
granted the event sponsor a marine
event permit for the fireworks display.
The fireworks display is meant for
entertainment purposes as a finale to a
San Francisco Giants baseball game.
This rule is being issued to establish a
temporary regulated area in San
Francisco Bay around the fireworks
launch barge during loading of the
pyrotechnics, during the transit of the
barge to the display location, and during
the fireworks display. The safety zone is
necessary to protect spectators, vessels,
and other property from the hazards
associated with the pyrotechnics on the
fireworks barge.
Discussion of Rule
The Coast Guard is establishing a
temporary safety zone on specified
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
40075
waters of the San Francisco Bay. During
the loading of the fireworks barge, while
the barge is being towed to the display
location, and until the start of the
fireworks display, the safety zone will
apply to the navigable waters around
and under the fireworks barge within a
radius of 100 feet. Fifteen minutes prior
to and during the fifteen minute
fireworks display, the area to which this
safety zone applies to will increase in
size to encompass the navigable waters
around and under the fireworks barge
within a radius of 1,000 feet. Loading of
the pyrotechnics onto the fireworks
barge is scheduled to commence at 11
a.m. on July 27, 2007, and will take
place at Pier 50 in San Francisco.
Towing of the barge from Pier 50 to the
display location is scheduled to take
place on July 27, 2007. During the
fireworks display, scheduled to
commence at approximately 10 p.m.,
the fireworks barge will be located
approximately 500–1,000 feet off of Pier
48 in position 37°46′35″ N, 122°23′00″
W.
The effect of the temporary safety
zone will be to restrict general
navigation in the vicinity of the
fireworks barge while the fireworks are
loaded at Pier 50, during the transit of
the fireworks barge, and until the
conclusion of the scheduled display.
Except for persons or vessels authorized
by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander,
no person or vessel may enter or remain
in the safety zone. This safety zone is
needed to keep spectators and vessels a
safe distance away from the fireworks
barge to ensure the safety of
participants, spectators, and transiting
vessels.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs
and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that
Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that
Order.
Although this rule restricts access to
the waters encompassed by the safety
zone, the effect of this rule will not be
significant because the local waterway
users will be notified via public
broadcast notice to mariners to ensure
the safety zone will result in minimum
impact. The entities most likely to be
affected are pleasure craft engaged in
recreational activities.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this rule would have a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OSHA published a final rule for the Design Safety Standards for
Electrical Systems (Electrical Standard) on February 14, 2007, after
determining that electrical hazards pose a significant risk of injury
or death to employees in the workplace. In addition, this revision of
these requirements is reasonably necessary to provide protection from
these hazards. The final rule becomes effective on August 13, 2007. As
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal Register
notice for the Electrical Standard final rule stated that compliance
with the collection of information requirements was not required until
those collection of information requirements have been approved by OMB,
and the Department of Labor publishes a notice in the Federal Register
announcing that OMB approved and assigned a control number to the
Electrical Standard collection of information requirements. Under 5 CFR
1320.5(b), an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless: (1) The collection of information displays a
current valid OMB control number; and (2) the agency informs members of
the public who must respond to the collection of
[[Page 40074]]
information that they are not required to respond to the collection of
information unless the agency displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
On February 14, 2007, OSHA submitted the Electrical Standard
information collection request for the final rule to OMB for approval
in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). On May 22, 2007, OMB approved the collections of information
contained in the final rule and assigned these collections OMB Control
Number 1218-0256 titled ``Design Safety Standards for Electrical
Systems (29 CFR 1910.302-308 and 1910.399.)'' The approval for these
collections expires on May 31, 2010. The approved collections of
