Type: Rule
Date: 2011-12-22
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard announces the availability of Policy Letter 11-15, which describes steps the Coast Guard is taking to implement a statutory change in mariner credentialing requirements. This policy letter details how the Coast Guard is relaxing its Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) enforcement posture for mariners who serve on board vessels that are not required to have a vessel security plan. It also describes policy changes to allow these mariners to acquire and renew a Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) without holding a valid TWIC.
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act Provisions; Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Northeast (NE) Multispecies Fishery; Amendment 17
Document Number: 2011-32851
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-12-22
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS proposes regulations to implement measures in Amendment 17 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan. This action would amend the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan to explicitly define and facilitate the effective operation of state- operated permit banks. As proposed in Amendment 17, state-operated permit banks would be allocated an annual catch entitlement and specifically authorized to provide their annual catch entitlement and/ or days-at-sea to approved groundfish sectors for the purpose of enhancing the fishing opportunities available to sector members. This action also includes a provision that would allow NMFS to issue a days- at-sea credit to a vessel that cancels a fishing trip prior to setting or hauling fishing gear and the vessel, therefore, does not catch or land fish at any time on the trip.
Special Local Regulations; Patriot Challenge Kayak Race, Ashley River, Charleston, SC
Document Number: 2011-32850
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-12-22
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard proposes to establish special local regulations on the Ashley River in Charleston, South Carolina during the Patriot Challenge Kayak Race on Saturday, April 28, 2012. Approximately 150 paddle boats are anticipated to participate in the Patriot Challenge Kayak Race. Participant paddle boats will include: kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. These special local regulations are necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters of the United States during the race. The special local regulations consist of a series of moving buffer zones around participant vessels as they transit the Ashley River from Brittlebank Park to Tidewater Reach and back to Brittlebank Park. Persons and vessels that are not participating in the race are prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within any of the buffer zones unless authorized by the Captain of the Charleston or a designated representative.

Document Number: 2011-32848
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-12-22
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS proposes 2012 and 2013 harvest specifications, apportionments, and Pacific halibut prohibited species catch limits for the groundfish fishery of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary to establish harvest limits for groundfish during the 2012 and 2013 fishing years and to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska. The intended effect of this action is to conserve and manage the groundfish resources in the GOA in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
Document Number: 2011-32845
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-12-22
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes; Model A330-223F and -243F airplanes; and Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that during the evaluation of specific engine failure cases at take-off on Airbus flight simulators. It has been shown that with flight control primary computer (FCPC)1 inoperative, in worst case scenario, when FCPC2 and FCPC3 resets occur during rotation at take off, a transient loss of elevator control associated with a temporary incorrect flight control law reconfiguration could occur. This proposed AD would require revising the Limitations section of the applicable airplane flight manual. We are proposing this AD to prevent movement of the elevators to zero position, which could result in inducing a pitch down movement instead of a pitch up movement needed for lift off, resulting in loss of controllability of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
Document Number: 2011-32844
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-12-22
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called A300-600 series airplanes), and Model A310 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a crack in the forward cargo door selector valve pipe located in the avionics bay opposite to line replaceable unit racking. This proposed AD would require replacing a certain aluminum high pressure pipe with a new corrosion resistant stainless steel pipe. We are proposing this AD to prevent cracking in the forward cargo door selector valve pipe which could impact the 90 VU avionics line replaceable unit, and could result in multiple computer failures, affecting flight safety.

Premium Changes Based On Recharacterization of Contributions
Document Number: 2011-32804
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-12-22
Agency: Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Agencies and Commissions
This policy statement addresses PBGC's policy on accepting and responding to amended premium filings based on recharacterization of contributions. Recharacterization of contributions refers to a situation in which contributions originally designated as being for the plan year in which they were made are retroactively redesignated as being for the preceding plan year. This makes plan assets for the current year higher, and the plan's variable-rate premium lower, than originally reported. Such recharacterization seeks not to correct a factual error but to change a valid designation and is not an appropriate basis for an amended premium filing or premium refund.

In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, HHS/OS/ONC is establishing a new system of records, ``ONC Health IT Dashboard,'' to create datasets that will be used by ONC and its partners (including grantees in the Health IT Extension Center program and ONC program evaluation contractors) to assess, improve, and publicize the effectiveness of ONC health IT grants to States and State-designated entities. The datasets will enable ONC to (1) Evaluate the state of health IT implementation by parties registered to receive (i.e., who have received or could receive) electronic health record implementation assistance from ONC grantees, (2) compare the evaluations to grantees' progress reports in order to validate claims submitted for grant payments, (3) share the evaluations with the grantees to help improve grant performance, and (4) make aggregate data (e.g., national and State-level implementation estimates) publicly available on ONC's Web site at https://www.healthit.hhs.gov. The parties receiving grants and health IT implementation assistance from ONC grantees include health care providers (not only provider-entities such as hospitals, but individual providers such as individual physicians), community colleges, State-designated entities, and other entities. Information about an individual provider (e.g., an individual physician as opposed to a hospital, corporation or other organization) is protected by the Privacy Act. Privacy Act-protected information about each individual provider will consist of the provider's health IT implementation information, demographic information, and contact information, retrieved by his or her National Provider Identifier (NPI). The system will not contain information about patients. The system of records is more thoroughly described in the Supplementary Information section and System of Records Notice (SORN), below.
