ACTION: Final rule; confirmation of interim rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: NARA is revising its regulations to increase the number of hours its archival research rooms are open in the Washington, DC, area. In response to an interim final rule published on February 1, 2008, we received 53 comments, which are discussed in the SUPPLEMENTARY PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 INFORMATION section of this preamble. This final rule document confirms without change to the rule the effective date of the regulation.

NARA published an interim final rule on February 1, 2008 (73 FR 6030) to restore extended evening and Saturday research room hours in its Washington, DC, area archival research rooms, effective April 14, 2008. The research rooms will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday they will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. We received 53 comments on the interim final rule from individuals and representatives of organizations, all supportive of the increased hours. While one comment expressed disappointment with the choice of evenings because the extended hours overlap with the Library of Congress, a number of comments specifically endorsed having three consecutive evenings and Saturday to maximize the cost-effectiveness of research room use by out-of-town researchers. Seven comments requested that NARA provide additional ‘‘record pull times’’ for retrieving records from the stacks for use in the research rooms on Saturdays and, in one case, weekdays. As we noted in the interim final rule, we are restoring the late afternoon time for pulling records from the stacks on the three weekdays that we are open in the evening, but we have never had Saturday ‘‘pull’’ service. We recognize that this would be a useful service to researchers who only use the research rooms on Saturdays, but we are unable to adopt the suggestion. The FY 2008 appropriation that is permitting us to restore extended hours does not cover adding staff to provide this additional new service. As a result, the finding aids room is open but there is no archival consultation. It is these archival professionals who would be needed to ensure successful records pulls. Every records request slip submitted is checked for accurate pull information by an archivist or specialist. We also do not have the pull and refile manager or pull and refile technicians available on Saturdays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Body at telephone number (206) 553–0782, e-mail address: body.steve@epa.gov, or the EPA Region 10 address. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this action is to announce that on October 4, 2007, EPA Region 10, delegated partial administrative authority for implementation of certain provisions of the Quinault FIP to the Quinault Indian Nation. See 40 CFR part 49, subpart M, sections 10581 through 10590, as authorized by 40 CFR 49.122 of the Federal Air Rules for Reservations (FARR), 40 CFR part 49, subpart C. Federal regulation 40 CFR 49.122 provides EPA authority to delegate to Indian Tribes partial administrative authority to implement provisions of the Federal Air Rules for Reservations (FARR), 40 CFR part 49, subpart C. Tribes must submit a request to the Regional Administrator that meets the requirements of 40 CFR 49.122. II. Request for Delegation On July 25, 2006, the President of the Quinault Indian Nation submitted to the Regional Administrator a request for delegation of certain provision of the Quinault FIP. That request included all the information and demonstrations required by the FARR for delegation. A copy of all documentation is on file at EPA Region 10, Seattle, Washington (see ADDRESSES above). The Quinault Indian Nation requested delegation for the following provisions; 40 CFR 49.10590 (a) General provisions, 40 CFR 49.10586 (b) Rule for limiting visible emissions, 40 CFR 49.10586 (g) PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 18161 General rule for open burning, and 40 CFR 49.10586 (i) Rule for air pollution episodes. III. EPA Response to the Request for Delegation EPA and the Quinault Indian Nation signed the Delegation Agreement that specifies the provisions and authorities delegated. The Quinault Indian Nation is delegated the following provisions; 40 CFR 49.10590 (a) General provisions, 40 CFR 49.10586 (b) Rule for limiting visible emissions, 40 CFR 49.10586 (g) General rule for open burning, and 40 CFR 49.10586 (i) Rule for air pollution episodes. In addition, the agreement delegates to the Tribe authority to investigate complaints and assist EPA in inspections. The Agreement also includes terms and conditions applicable to the delegation. A copy of the Agreement is kept at EPA Region 10 at the address above. EPA solicited by letter, advice and insight from the State of Washington, Grays Harbor County, Jefferson County Olympic National Park, and the Olympic National Forest on the Quinault request for delegation. One comment supporting delegation was received. Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has determined that there is good cause for making today’s rule final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because EPA is merely informing the public of partial delegation of administrative authority to the Quinault Indian Nation and making a technical amendment to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) by adding a note announcing the partial delegation. Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. EPA finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). Moreover, since today’s action does not create any new regulatory requirements, EPA finds that good cause exists to provide for an immediate effective date pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and therefore is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget.

ACTION: Final rule; confirmation of interim rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NARA is revising its regulations to increase the number of 
hours its archival research rooms are open in the Washington, DC, area. 
In response to an interim final rule published on February 1, 2008, we 
received 53 comments, which are discussed in the SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION section of this preamble. This final rule document confirms 
without change to the rule the effective date of the regulation.

DATES: Effective Date: The interim rule amending published on February 
1, 2008 (73 FR 6030), is adopted as a final rule, effective April 14, 
2008.

Jennifer Davis Heaps at 301-837-1801 or via fax number 301-837-0319.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA published an interim final rule on 
February 1, 2008 (73 FR 6030) to restore extended evening and Saturday 
research room hours in its Washington, DC, area archival research 
rooms, effective April 14, 2008. The research rooms will be open from 9 
a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. On Wednesday, 
Thursday, and Friday they will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
    We received 53 comments on the interim final rule from individuals 
and representatives of organizations, all supportive of the increased 
hours. While one comment expressed disappointment with the choice of 
evenings because the extended hours overlap with the Library of

research room use by out-of-town researchers.
    Seven comments requested that NARA provide additional ``record pull
