Civil Justice Reform List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117 The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. 8. Taking of Private Property This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden. 10.

Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards. We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023–01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have concluded that this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule simply promulgates the operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2– 1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction. Under figure 2–1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are not required for this rule. 7.

We are removing the FIP requirements because we are taking final action today in a separate document in the Federal Register to approve revisions to the New Mexico State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by the New Mexico Environmental Department (NMED) to EPA, which address revised Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) requirements for oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) concerning noninterference with programs in other states to protect visibility.

The State of New Mexico adopted and transmitted an Interstate Transport SIP revision on September 17, 2007 for the purpose of addressing the ‘‘good neighbor’’ provisions of the CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS and the PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA disapproved a portion of that SIP submittal addressing the requirements with respect to visibility transport and concurrently promulgated a FIP establishing enforceable NOX and SO2 emission limits for the SJGS on August 22, 2011. EPA found that New Mexico sources, except the San Juan Generating Station, were sufficiently controlled to eliminate interference with the visibility programs of other states (see 76 FR 52388). EPA set SO2 emission limits of 0.15 pounds per million British Thermal Units (lb/MMBtu) for the four units of the SJGS. EPA set enforceable NOX emission limits of 0.05 lbs/MMBtu E:\FR\FM\09OCR1.SGM 09OCR1

    This document corrects two inadvertent errors contained in the

have required copyright owners to request annual statements of account 
that they had not received for fiscal years ending after March 1, 2009 
and before November 17, 2014, before the effective date of the 
regulations. This error is corrected to reflect the Office's intent to 
permit copyright owners to make such a request at any time within 6

compulsory licensee requesting an Annual Statement of Account for the 
relevant fiscal year conforming to the requirements of this section. If 
such a request is made, the compulsory licensee shall provide the

request. If such a circumstance and request applies to more than one of 
the compulsory licensee's fiscal years, such years may be combined on a
