was made available through the Internet
by USDA and the Office of the Federal
Register. A 20-day comment period
ending September 27, 2007, was
provided to allow interested persons to
respond to the proposal. No comments
were received.
A small business guide on complying
with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop
marketing agreements and orders may
be viewed at: https://www.ams.usda.gov/

compliance guide should be sent to Jay
Guerber at the previously mentioned

CONTACT section.
After consideration of all relevant
material presented, including the
information and recommendation
submitted by the Committee and other
available information, it is hereby found
that this rule, as hereinafter set forth,
will tend to effectuate the declared
policy of the Act.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, it also found
and determined that good cause exists
for not postponing the effective date of
this rule until 30 days after publication
in the Federal Register because the
2007–08 crop year began on August 1,
2007, and the marketing order requires
that the rate of assessment for each year
apply to all assessable prunes handled
during the year; and handlers are
already receiving 2007–08 crop prunes
from growers. The Committee needs to
have sufficient funds to meet its
expenses which are incurred on a
continuous basis. Further, handlers are
aware of this rule which was which was
unanimously recommended at a public
meeting. Also, a 20-day comment period
was provided for in the proposed rule
and no comments were received.

effective date and correction.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document confirms the
effective date of the direct final rule
which revises Class E airspace at Fort
Scott, KS and corrects the coordinates of
the Fort Scott Nondirectional Beacon
(NDB).
Effective Date: 0901 UTC,
December 20, 2007. The Director of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
published this direct final rule with a
request for comments in the Federal
Register on Friday, August 10, 2007 (72
FR 44954). The FAA uses the direct
final rulemaking procedure for a noncontroversial rule where the FAA
believes that there will be no adverse
public comment. This direct final rule
advised the public that no adverse
comments were anticipated, and that
unless a written adverse comment, or a
written notice of intent of submit such
an adverse comment, were received
within the comment period, the
regulation would become effective on
December 20, 2007. No adverse
comments were received, and thus this
notice confirms that this direct final rule
will become effective on that date.

(DDG 104) is a vessel of the Navy which,
due to its special construction and
purpose, cannot fully comply with
certain provisions of the 72 COLREGS
without interfering with its special
function as a naval ship. The intended
effect of this rule is to warn mariners in
waters where 72 COLREGS apply.
DATES: This rule is effective November
5, 2007, and is applicable to August 1,
2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.
1605, the Department of the Navy
amends 32 CFR part 706. This
amendment provides notice that the
Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty and Maritime Law),
under authority delegated by the
Secretary of the Navy, has certified that
USS STERETT (DDG 104) is a vessel of
the Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot fully
comply with the following specific
provisions of 72 COLREGS without
interfering with its special function as a
naval ship: Annex I, paragraph 2(f)(i),
pertaining to the placement of the
masthead light or lights above and clear
of all other lights and obstructions;
Annex I, paragraph 2(f)(ii), pertaining to
the vertical placement of task lights;
Annex I, paragraph 3(a), pertaining to
the location of the forward masthead
light in the forward quarter of the ship,
and the horizontal distance between the
forward and after masthead lights; and
Annex I, paragraph 3(c), pertaining to
placement of task lights not less than
two meters from the fore and aft
centerline of the ship in the athwartship
direction. The Deputy Assistant Judge
Advocate General (Admiralty and
Maritime Law) has also certified that the
lights involved are located in closest
possible compliance with the applicable
72 COLREGS requirements.
Moreover, it has been determined, in
accordance with 32 CFR parts 296 and
701, that publication of this amendment
for public comment prior to adoption is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to public interest since it is
based on technical findings that the
placement of lights on this vessel in a
manner differently from that prescribed
herein will adversely affect the vessel’s
ability to perform its military functions.
