SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission’s July 21, 2008 Federal Register document seeks comments on the Rule’s costs, benefits, and effectiveness. The document seeks comments on whether the Rule should permit used car dealers to use a single bilingual Buyers Guide and, if so, on how to design a bilingual Buyers Guide. The document also asks for comments on the Buyers Guide’s pre-printed list of systems and major defects. In addition, the document solicits comments on whether the Rule should be revised to permit dealers to use alternative Buyers Guides when disclosing manufacturer’s warranties and other third-party warranties. On September 12, 2008, the Commission received a joint letter from Consumer Action, Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, the Consumer Federation of America, the National Association of Consumer Advocates, and the National Consumer Law Center requesting that the comment period be extended for sixty days. Among other reasons supporting the request, these organizations cite their need to conduct research to address the numerous questions raised in the Commission’s Federal Register document and changes that have occurred in the automotive marketplace and information technologies since the Commission last E:\FR\FM\25SEP1.SGM 25SEP1 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 187 / Thursday, September 25, 2008 / Proposed Rules reviewed the Rule. The organizations argue that they will be able to present more carefully considered comments if provided an additional sixty days to comment. Based on the arguments raised in the joint letter, the Commission believes that an extension of the initial sixty-day comment period until November 19, 2008 is reasonable. The additional time should enable the organizations that sent the letter and other commenters to submit detailed and thoughtful comments in response to the document. Accordingly, the Commission has decided to extend the comment period set forth in the July 21, 2008 Federal Register document until November 19, 2008. By direction of the Commission. Donald S.

Regis Binder (Technical Information), Office of Electric Reliability, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502–6460. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Before Commissioners: Joseph T. Kelliher, Chairman; Suedeen G. Kelly, Marc Spitzer, Philip D. Moeller, and Jon Wellinghoff. 1. In this order, the Commission proposes to clarify the scope of the eight Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Reliability Standards 1 approved in Order No. 706 to assure that no ‘‘gap’’ occurs in the applicability of these Standards.2 In particular, each of the eight CIP Reliability Standards provides that facilities regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) are exempt from the Standard. It has come to the attention of the Commission that the NRC does not regulate all facilities within a nuclear generation plant. Thus, to assure that there is no ‘‘gap’’ in the regulatory process, the Commission proposes to clarify that the facilities within a nuclear generation plant in the United States that are not regulated by the NRC are subject to compliance with the eight CIP Reliability Standards approved in Order No. 706. 2. Comments on the Commission’s proposed clarification are due 30 days from the date of issuance of this order, after which the Commission intends to issue a further order on the matter. Background 3. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization (ERO), developed eight CIP Reliability Standards that require certain users, owners and operators of the Bulk-Power System to comply with specific requirements to safeguard critical cyber assets. In January 2008, pursuant to section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA),3 the Commission approved the eight CIP Reliability Standards. In addition, pursuant to section 215(d)(5) of the FPA,4 the Commission directed the ERO to develop modifications to the CIP Reliability Standards to address specific concerns identified by the Commission. 4. Each of the eight CIP Reliability Standards includes an exemption for facilities regulated by the NRC. For example, Reliability Standard CIP–002– 1 provides: The following are exempt from Standard CIP–002: Facilities Regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. * * * [5] 5. In an April 8, 2008 public joint meeting of the Commission and the NRC, staff of both Commissions discussed cyber security at nuclear generation plants. While NRC staff indicated that the NRC has proposed regulations to address cybersecurity at nuclear generation plants,6 NRC staff raised a concern regarding a potential gap in regulatory coverage. In particular, NRC staff indicated that the NRC’s proposed regulations on cybersecurity would not apply to all systems within a nuclear generation plant. NRC staff explained: The NRC’s cyber requirements are not going to extend to power continuity systems. They do not extend directly to what is not directly associated with reactor safety security or emergency response. * * * As a result, and when you look at the CIP standards that were issued, there is a discrete statement in each of the seven or eight standards where it specifically exempts facilities regulated by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission from compliance with those CIP Standards. So there is an issue there in the sense that our regulations for cyber security go up to a certain point, and end.[7] Discussion 6. The Commission shares the concern raised at the April 8, 2008 joint meeting. It appears that the NRC’s regulation of a nuclear generation plant is limited to the facilities that are associated with reactor safety or emergency response.8 The Commission believes that a nuclear generation plant will likely include critical assets and critical cyber assets that are not safety related and, therefore, not regulated by the NRC. For example, facilities that pertain to the ‘‘continuity of operation’’ of a nuclear generation plant may be 4 16 1 Reliability Standards CIP–002–1 through CIP– 009–1.

the Commission has determined to reopen and extend the comment period 
until November 19, 2008.

DATES: Comments addressing the Used Car Rule must be received on or 
before November 19, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission's July 21, 2008 Federal 
Register document seeks comments on the Rule's costs, benefits, and 
effectiveness. The document seeks comments on whether the Rule should 
permit used car dealers to use a single bilingual Buyers Guide and, if 
so, on how to design a bilingual Buyers Guide. The document also asks 
for comments on the Buyers Guide's pre-printed list of systems and 
major defects. In addition, the document solicits comments on whether 
the Rule should be revised to permit dealers to use alternative Buyers 
Guides when disclosing manufacturer's warranties and other third-party 
warranties.
    On September 12, 2008, the Commission received a joint letter from 
Consumer Action, Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, the 
Consumer Federation of America, the National Association of Consumer 
Advocates, and the National Consumer Law Center requesting that the 
comment period be extended for sixty days. Among other reasons 
supporting the request, these organizations cite their need to conduct 
research to address the numerous questions raised in the Commission's 
Federal Register document and changes that have occurred in the 
automotive marketplace and information technologies since the 
Commission last

reviewed the Rule. The organizations argue that they will be able to 
present more carefully considered comments if provided an additional 
sixty days to comment.
    Based on the arguments raised in the joint letter, the Commission 
believes that an extension of the initial sixty-day comment period 
until November 19, 2008 is reasonable. The additional time should 
enable the organizations that sent the letter and other commenters to 
submit detailed and thoughtful comments in response to the document. 
Accordingly, the Commission has decided to extend the comment period 
set forth in the July 21, 2008 Federal Register document until November 
19, 2008.
    By direction of the Commission.
