Approval of the Clean Air Act, Section 112(l), Authority for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities: State of Maine Department of Environmental Protection
Pursuant to section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act (``CAA'') and Federal regulations promulgated thereunder, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (``ME DEP'') submitted a request for approval to implement and enforce the amended ``Chapter 125: Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaner Regulation'' (Maine Dry Cleaner Rule) as a partial substitution for the amended National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities (``Dry Cleaning NESHAP''), as it applies to area sources. EPA has reviewed this request and has determined that the amended Maine Dry Cleaner Rule satisfies the requirements necessary for partial substitution approval. Thus, EPA is hereby granting ME DEP the authority to implement and enforce its amended Maine Dry Cleaner Rule in place of the Dry Cleaning NESHAP for area sources, but EPA is retaining its authority with respect to major source dry cleaners and dry cleaners installed in a residence between July 13, 2006, and June 24, 2009. This approval makes the amended Maine Dry Cleaner Rule Federally enforceable.

It provides submitters notice pursuant to Executive Order 12600 that the General Services Administration, Office of Governmentwide Policy, Acquisition Systems Division (ASD) has received several FOIA requests for certain data elements within the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. This notice describes each data element contained in CCR and its exemption status under FOIA. The non-exempt data elements are packaged in a monthly CCR FOIA extract available on Acquisition.gov (https:// www.acquisition.gov). The exempt data elements are not made public as part of the CCR FOIA extract. However, certain data elements that are exempt for CCR FOIA requests may be displayed publicly in other Federal systems after they are associated with a Federal award as required by law. For instance, CCR data elements 250-254 address Executive Compensation as required under section 2 of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Pub.

In addition, CCR data elements 255-260 address Proceedings information in accordance with FAR clause 52.209-7 (version dated January 2011). While collected in CCR as part of the registrant's profile (in accordance with FAR 52.209-7(d)), the Proceedings information is only displayed in association with a record in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and is not releasable under CCR FOIA.

Information posted on or after April 15, 2011, will be available to the public through FAPIIS, as required by Section 3010 of Public Law 111-212 (see 41 U.S.C. 417b, as recodified, 41 U.S.C. 2313) and in accordance with FAR clause 52.209-9 (version dated January 2011). Federal contractors must not post information to data fields 255 to 260 under former FAR clause 52.209-8 (version dated April 2010) on or after April 15, 2011. Any contractors with a contract containing clause 52.209-8 (version dated April 2010) that requires update of information on or after April 15, 2011, should contact their contracting officer immediately to discuss a modification. Contracting officers are required to bilaterally modify existing contracts (including indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contracts) that contain the FAR clause 52.209-8 (version dated April 2010) if a six-month update is due on or after April 15, 2011.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Special Awareness Training for the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. This collection of information is required of persons who must receive training and testing under 14 CFR 91.161 in order to fly within 50 nautical miles (NM) of the Washington, DC omni-directional range/distance measuring equipment (DCA VOR/DME). For a person to enroll in the FAA's ``Washington, DC Area Training Program,'' the rule requires persons to electronically furnish their names, residence addresses, and pilot certificate numbers.
Taking and Importing Marine Mammals: U.S. Navy Training in the Virginia Capes Range Complex and Jacksonville Range Complex
In June 2009, pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS issued two 5-year final regulations to govern the unintentional taking of marine mammals incidental to Navy training activities conducted in the Virginia Capes (VACAPES) and Jacksonville (JAX) range complexes off the East Coast of the U.S. These regulations, which allow for the issuance of ``Letters of Authorization'' (LOAs) for the incidental take of marine mammals during the specified activities and described timeframes, prescribe the permissible methods of taking and other means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact on marine mammal species or stocks and their habitat, as well as requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of such taking. These rules quantify the specific amounts of training activities involving underwater detonations that will occur over the course of the 5-year rules, and indicate that marine mammal take may only be authorized in an LOA incidental to the types and amounts of training activities and explosives described. No language was included expressly allowing for deviation from those precise levels of training activities and amounts of explosives even if the total number of takes remain within the analyzed and authorized limits. Since the issuance of these rules, the Navy realized that their evolving training programs, which are linked to real world events, necessitate greater flexibility in the types and amounts of training events and explosives that they conduct and use. In response to this need, NMFS has, through this interim final rule, amended the VACAPES and JAX regulations to explicitly allow for greater flexibility in the types and amount of training activities that they conduct and explosives that they use.

This action does not include final confidentiality determinations for data elements that are in the ``Inputs to Emission Equations'' category.

Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments
NCUA is issuing a final rule to prohibit, in certain circumstances, a Federally insured credit union (FICU) from making golden parachute and indemnification payments to an institution- affiliated party (IAP). The rule will help safeguard the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) by preventing the wrongful or improper disposition of FICU assets and inhibit unwarranted rewards to IAPs that can contribute to an FICU's troubled condition.
Accuracy of Advertising and Notice of Insured Status
The NCUA Board is amending certain provisions of NCUA's official advertising statement rule. Specifically, insured credit unions will be required to include the statement in a greater number of radio and television advertisements, annual reports, and statements of condition required to be published by law.

Historic Preservation Certifications for Federal Income Tax Incentives
The National Park Service (NPS) is amending its procedures for obtaining historic preservation certifications for rehabilitation of historic structures. Individuals and corporations must obtain these certifications to be eligible for tax credits from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This rule incorporates references to the revised sections of the Internal Revenue Code containing the requirements for obtaining a tax credit; replaces references to NPS's regional offices with references to its Washington Area Service Office (WASO); requires NPS to accept appeals for denial of certain certifications; and removes the certification fee schedule from the regulation. These latter two revisions provide an additional avenue for appeals and allow NPS to update fees by publishing a notice in the Federal Register as administrative costs change.
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments
This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
