AGENCY: The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) is adopting as final, without changes, an interim rule on procedures for the public to obtain the production or disclosure of information and documents of Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) in connection with legal proceedings in which neither the United States nor the SIGAR is a party. DATES: Effective date: June 22, 2012. ADDRESSES: Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, 2530 Crystal Drive, Arlington, Virginia 22202–3940. Attention: Office of General Counsel.

SUMMARY: On March 16, 2012, SIGAR published in the Federal Register (77 FR 15561) an interim final rule that establishes procedures for the public to obtain the production or disclosure of information and documents of Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) in connection with legal proceedings in which neither the United States nor the SIGAR is a party. We provided a 30-day comment period that ended on April 16, 2012. We received no comments and will not be wreier-aviles on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with RULES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:17 Jun 21, 2012 Jkt 226001 making any changes to the interim final rule. Based on the rationale set forth in the interim final rule, we adopt the interim final rule without change as a final rule. rule in light of section 3 of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, and certify that it meets the applicable standards provided therein. I. Matters of Regulatory Procedure Courts, Freedom of information, Government employees. Regulatory Flexibility Act As Acting Inspector General of SIGAR, I have determined under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) that this proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it will primarily affect SIGAR employees. Paperwork Reduction Act As Acting Inspector General of SIGAR, I have determined that the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) does not apply to this proposed rule, because it does not contain any information collection requirements that would require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act For purposes of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. chapter 25, subchapter II), this proposed rule would not significantly or uniquely affect small governments and would not result in increased expenditures by State, local, and tribal governments, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more (as adjusted for inflation) in any one year. Congressional Review Act SIGAR has determined that this rule is not a rule as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804 and, thus, does not require review by Congress. Executive Order 12866 In promulgating this proposed rule, SIGAR has adhered to the regulatory philosophy and the applicable principles of regulation set forth in section 1 of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget under that Executive order, since it deals with agency organization, management, and personnel matters and is not in any way event deemed ‘‘significant’’ thereunder. Executive Order 12988 As Acting Inspector General of SIGAR, I have reviewed this proposed PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 List of Subjects in 5 CFR Part 9302 Dated: June 15, 2012. Steven J. Trent, Acting Inspector General, Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction. Authority and Issuance Accordingly, the interim final rule amending 5 CFR part 9302, which was published at 77 FR 15561 on March 16, 2012, is adopted as a final rule without change.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 3, 2012 (77 FR 26149), the NRC published a direct final rule amending its regulations at Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 11, ‘‘Criteria and Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to or Control Over Special Nuclear Material,’’ and 10 CFR part 25, ‘‘Access Authorization.’’ The NRC amended its access authorization fees charged to licensees for work performed under the MAAP and the IAAP. The amended cost is the result of an increase in the review time for each application for access authorization. The formula for calculating fees remains based on current Office of Personnel Management (OPM) billing rates for personnel background investigations. The NRC designed the formula to recover the full cost of processing a request for access authorization from the licensee. The use of the fee assessment formula tied to current OPM billing rates eliminates the need for the NRC to update its access authorization fee schedules through regular rulemaking. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that, if it received no significant adverse comments, the direct final rule would become final on June 22, 2012. The NRC did not receive any comments on the direct final rule. VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:17 Jun 21, 2012 Jkt 226001 Therefore, this rule will become effective as scheduled.

PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 I. Background Sfmt 4700 Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act establishes an Orderly Liquidation Authority (‘‘OLA’’) to resolve a large interconnected financial company upon a determination that its failure and resolution under otherwise applicable law would have serious adverse effects on financial stability in the United States and the use of OLA would avoid or mitigate such adverse effects. Under the process set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act, certain designated Federal agencies,2 on their own initiative or at the request of the Secretary of the Treasury (‘‘Secretary’’), may recommend that the Secretary appoint the FDIC as receiver of a financial company. Any written recommendation from the designated Federal agencies that the Secretary should appoint the FDIC as receiver for a financial company must include a number of specific findings, which are enumerated in section 203(a)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act.3 Then, 2 The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (‘‘FRB’’) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) will make the recommendation if the company or its largest U.S. subsidiary is a broker or a dealer. The FRB and the Director of the Treasury’s Federal Insurance Office will make the recommendation and provide affirmative approval, respectively, if the company or its largest U.S. subsidiary is an insurance company, and the FRB and the FDIC will make the recommendation in all other cases. In cases involving the FRB and FDIC, the recommendation must be approved by at least 2⁄3 of the members of the FRB then serving and at least 2⁄3 of the members of the FDIC Board of Directors then serving. 3 Section 203(a)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act provides that all written recommendations from the designated Federal agencies to the Secretary must include the following: (1) An evaluation of whether the financial company is in default or in danger of default; (2) A description of the effect that the default of the financial company would have on financial stability in the United States; (3) A description of the effect that the default of the financial company would have on economic conditions or financial stability for low income, minority, or underserved communities; (4) A recommendation regarding the nature and the extent of actions to be taken under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act regarding the financial company; E:\FR\FM\22JNR1.SGM 22JNR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 3, 2012 (77 FR 26149), the NRC 
published a direct final rule amending its regulations at Title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 11, ``Criteria and 
Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to or Control Over 
Special Nuclear Material,'' and 10 CFR part 25, ``Access 
Authorization.'' The NRC amended its access authorization fees charged 
to licensees for work performed under the MAAP and the IAAP. The 
amended cost is the result of an increase in the review time for each 
application for access authorization. The formula for calculating fees 
remains based on current Office of Personnel Management (OPM) billing 
rates for personnel background investigations. The NRC designed the 
formula to recover the full cost of processing a request for access 
authorization from the licensee. The use of the fee assessment formula 
tied to current OPM billing rates eliminates the need for the NRC to 
update its access authorization fee schedules through regular 
rulemaking. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that, if it 
received no significant adverse comments, the direct final rule would 
become final on June 22, 2012.
    The NRC did not receive any comments on the direct final rule. 
Therefore, this rule will become effective as scheduled.
