Revisions for the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Regulations
The NCUA Board is proposing changes to its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act regulations. The changes to FOIA provisions largely relate to recent amendments to the Freedom of Information Act addressing several procedural issues concerning fee practices, time limits for complying with requests, and new reporting requirements. The changes to Privacy Act provisions reflect the agency's efforts to clarify the procedures whereby individuals may obtain notification of whether an NCUA system of records contains information about the individual and access or amend a record.
Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Revised Definition of Substantially Similar Rule for Alaska
EPA is proposing to revise an interpretive rule defining the term ``substantially similar'' for unleaded gasoline as that phrase is used in section 211(f) of the Clean Air Act (the Act). To meet the current definition, fuel or fuel additives must possess, at the time of manufacture, all of the physical and chemical characteristics of an unleaded gasoline as specified in ASTM Standard D 4814-88 for at least one of the Seasonal and Geographical Volatility Classes specified in the standard. EPA proposes to amend the definition to allow some additional flexibility for the vapor/liquid ratio specification for fuel introduced into commerce in the state of Alaska. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we are amending the ``substantially similar'' definition as a direct final rule without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule.
