Inmates may be designated to home detention as a condition of pre-release custody and programming during the final months of the inmate’s term of imprisonment, not to exceed the shorter of ten percent of the inmate’s term of imprisonment or six months. (c) Exceeding time-frames. These time-frames may be exceeded when separate statutory authority allows greater periods of community confinement as a condition of prerelease custody. ■ § 570.22 Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301; 18 U.S.C. 751, 3621, 3622, 3624, 4001, 4042, 4081, 4082 (Repealed in part as to offenses committed on or after November 1, 1987), 4161–4166, 5006–5024 (Repealed October 12, 1984, as to offenses committed after that date), 5039; 28 U.S.C. 509, 510.

BILLING CODE 4410–05–P Forest Service 36 CFR Part 211 SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations, which were published in the Federal Register of November 8, 1999 (64 FR 60678). The regulations established the minimum requirements applicable to written agreements between the Forest Service and cooperators, such as individuals, States and local governments, and other non-Federal entities. Additionally, this rulemaking implemented amendments to the Act of June 30, 1914, which expanded the basis for accepting contributions for cooperative work, allows reimbursable payments by cooperators, and adequately protects the Government’s interest. § 570.21 rmajette on PRODPC74 with RULES The purpose of this subpart is to provide the procedures of the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) for designating inmates to pre-release community confinement or home detention. (a) Community confinement is defined as residence in a community treatment center, halfway house, restitution center, mental health facility, alcohol or drug rehabilitation center, or other community correctional facility (including residential re-entry centers); and participation in gainful employment, employment search efforts, community service, vocational training, treatment, educational programs, or similar facility-approved programs during non-residential hours. (b) Home detention is defined as a program of confinement and supervision that restricts the defendant to his place of residence continuously, except for authorized absences, enforced by appropriate means of surveillance by the probation office or other monitoring authority.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections implemented amendments to the Act of June 30, 1914 (16 U.S.C. 498). This Act authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to receive and subsequently use money as contributions toward cooperative work in forest investigations or for the protection and improvement of the national forests. The rule implemented amendments the Act of June 30, 1914, (16 U.S.C. 498) by: (1) Providing for the use of contributions for cooperative work on the entire National Forest System; (2) Adding ‘‘management’’ to the list of activities for which contributions for cooperative work may be accepted; and (3) Providing specific authority to accomplish cooperative work using Forest Service funds prior to reimbursement by the cooperator pursuant to a written agreement. Need for Correction As published, the final regulations do not define adequately the term nonGovernment cooperator. This term is defined so that non-Government entities can obtain a bond to protect the agency should the non-Government entity owe money to the agency for work performed on their behalf. Non-Government is defined in the negative by listing government entities and making all other entities non-Government. Omitted from the government list are federally recognized Indian tribes which means any Indian Tribe, band, nation, or other organized group or community, and other organizations funding a Forest Service agreement with pass through funding from an entity that is a member, division, or affiliate of a Federal, State, local government, or federally recognized Indian Tribe. This omission leads to inconsistent interpretation and, therefore, requires correction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final rule that is the subject of these corrections was published on September 24, 2008 (73 FR 54932), and implemented amendments to the subsistence fishery rules for Pacific halibut in waters in and off Alaska. The regulations at § 300.65 provide for a catch sharing plan and for domestic management measures for Pacific halibut fisheries in waters in and off Alaska. Among other regulatory actions, the final rule converted the gear and harvest restrictions from text to table format. This action amends § 300.65(h)(1)(i) table heading by replacing ‘‘Retention limits’’ with ‘‘Gear restrictions’’ and amends § 300.65(h)(2) table heading by replacing ‘‘Gear restrictions’’ with ‘‘Retention limits.’’ ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY VerDate Aug<31>2005 [Docket No. 080310411–8949–02] Need for Corrections BILLING CODE 3410–11–P BILLING CODE 1505–01–D 50 CFR Part 300 Classification Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Assistant Administrator of Fisheries finds good cause to waive prior notice and opportunity for public comment otherwise required by the section. NOAA finds that prior notice and opportunity for public comment are unnecessary because the editorial changes made by this rule are non– substantive. The need to immediately correct the published headings for two in–text tables for this regulation will eliminate a potential source of confusion and constitutes good cause to waive the requirement to provide prior notice and opportunity for public PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 comment, as such procedures would be unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Notice and comment is unnecessary because this action makes only minor, non–substantive changes to 50 CFR 300.65 to correct the headings of two tables. The rule does not make any substantive change in the rights and obligations of subsistence fishermen managed under the subsistence halibut regulations. No aspect of this action is controversial and no change in operating practices in the fishery is required. Because prior notice and opportunity for public comment are not required for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., are inapplicable. Correction Accordingly, the final rule, FR Doc. E8–22411, published on September 24, 2008, at 73 FR 54932, to be effective October 24, 2008, is corrected as follows: ■ 1a. In § 300.65, on pages 54940 and 54941, the headings to the table under paragraph (h)(1)(i) are corrected to read as follows: ■ § 300.65 Catch sharing plan and domestic management measures in waters in and off Alaska. * * * (h) * * * (1) * * * (i) * * * Regulatory Area * * Permit Type Gear Restrictions ******* * * * * * 1b.

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations, 
which were published in the Federal Register of November 8, 1999 (64 FR 
60678). The regulations established the minimum requirements applicable 
to written agreements between the Forest Service and cooperators, such 
as individuals, States and local governments, and other non-Federal 
entities. Additionally, this rulemaking implemented amendments to the 
Act of June 30, 1914, which expanded the basis for accepting 
contributions for cooperative work, allows reimbursable payments by 
cooperators, and adequately protects the Government's interest.

Relations, (202) 205-4972.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections 
implemented amendments to the Act of June 30, 1914 (16 U.S.C. 498). 
This Act authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to receive and 
subsequently use money as contributions toward cooperative work in 
forest investigations or for the protection and improvement of the 
national forests. The rule implemented amendments the Act of June 30, 
1914, (16 U.S.C. 498) by: (1) Providing for the use of contributions 
for cooperative work on the entire National Forest System; (2) Adding 
``management'' to the list of activities for which contributions for 
cooperative work may be accepted; and (3) Providing specific authority 
to accomplish cooperative work using Forest Service funds prior to 
reimbursement by the cooperator pursuant to a written agreement.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations do not define adequately the 
term non-Government cooperator. This term is defined so that non-
Government entities can obtain a bond to protect the agency should the 
non-Government entity owe money to the agency for work performed on 
their behalf. Non-Government is defined in the negative by listing 
government entities and making all other entities non-Government. 
Omitted from the government list are federally recognized Indian tribes 
which means any Indian Tribe, band, nation, or other organized group or 
community, and other organizations funding a Forest Service agreement 
with pass through funding from an entity that is a member, division, or 
affiliate of a Federal, State, local government, or federally 
recognized Indian Tribe. This omission leads to inconsistent 
interpretation and, therefore, requires correction.
