AGENCY: ACTION: The National Park Service is authorizing a solid waste transfer station near Stehekin, Washington, within the boundary of Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, that does not meet all the siting criteria of the general National Park Service regulations and accepts solid waste generated within the boundary of the recreation area from non-National Park Service activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background On December 22, 1994, the National Park Service (NPS) adopted regulations PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 codified at 36 CFR part 6 to implement a statutory requirement of Public Law 98–506 (54 U.S.C. 100903) (Act), which was enacted in 1984. The Act prohibits the operation of a solid waste disposal site within the boundary of any unit of the National Park System except for those operating as of September 1, 1984, or those ‘‘used only for disposal of wastes generated within that unit of the park system so long as such site will not degrade any of the natural or cultural resources of such park unit.’’ The Act directed the Secretary of the Interior to promulgate regulations ‘‘to carry out the provisions of this subsection, including reasonable regulations to mitigate the adverse effects of solid waste disposal sites in operation as of September 1, 1984, upon property of the United States.’’ The general regulations at 36 CFR part 6 ordinarily control both existing and new solid waste disposal sites within the boundaries of any unit of the National Park System to ensure that operation of such sites will not degrade the natural or cultural resources of the park unit. Transfer stations are included in the definition of ‘‘solid waste disposal site’’ in § 6.3 and are therefore subject to 36 CFR part 6. Section 6.4(a) prohibits any person (including NPS) from operating a new solid waste disposal site within the boundaries of a park unit unless the criteria in § 6.4(a) are met. Section 6.4(a)(1) requires that the solid waste handled by the site is generated solely from ‘‘National Park Service activities,’’ defined in § 6.3 as ‘‘operations conducted by the National Park Service or a National Park Service contractor, concessionaire or commercial use licensee.’’ Section 6.4(a)(9) requires that ‘‘the site is not located within one mile of a National Park Service visitor center, campground, ranger station, entrance station, or similar public use facility, or a residential area.’’ Section 6.4(a)(10) requires that the site is not detectable by public sight, sound, or odor from a scenic vista, a public use facility, a designated or proposed wilderness area, a site listed on (or eligible for listing on) the National Register of Historic Places, or a public road. Section 6.8(a) prohibits the NPS from accepting waste at an NPS operated solid waste disposal site, except for waste generated by NPS activities. Final Rule The NPS is promulgating a parkspecific regulation in 36 CFR 7.62 to authorize a limited exception to the general regulations described above. The rule authorizes an NPS transfer station on federal lands near Stehekin, E:\FR\FM\01DER1.SGM 01DER1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army is amending the Army Privacy 
Program Regulation. Specifically, this direct final rule is removing 
the exemption for A0601-222 USMEPCOM, titled Armed Services Military

Department of Defense does not expect to receive any adverse comments, 
and so a proposed rule is unnecessary.

are received that would result in a contrary determination. Comments 
will be accepted on or before February 1, 2016.

Direct Final Rule and Significant Adverse Comments

    DoD has determined this rulemaking meets the criteria for a direct 
final rule because it involves changes dealing with DoD's management of 
its Privacy Programs. DoD expects no opposition to the changes and no 
significant adverse comments. However, if DoD receives a significant 
adverse comment, the Department will withdraw this direct final rule by 
publishing a notice in the Federal Register. A significant adverse 
comment is one that explains: (1) Why the direct final rule is 
inappropriate, including challenges to the rule's underlying premise or 
approach; or (2) why the direct final rule will be ineffective or 
unacceptable without a change. In determining whether a comment 
necessitates withdrawal of this direct final rule, DoD will consider 
whether it warrants a substantive response in a notice and comment 
process.

Order 13563, ``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review''

net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distribute impacts, and equity). Executive 
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility. It has been determined that this rule is not a significant 
rule.

Public Law 96-354, ``Regulatory Flexibility Act'' (5 U.S.C. Chapter 6)

million or more and that such rulemaking will not significantly or 
uniquely affect small governments.

Executive Order 13132, ``Federalism''
