State and Local Assistance, 21697 [2017-09486]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 89 / Wednesday, May 10, 2017 / Rules and Regulations The Office is removing the position/title and address fields for the primary and secondary account contacts from the system; the Office has determined that such information is not necessary for Office communications. The organization field and fields relating to the secondary contact will remain, but will be made optional, as certain service providers might find it useful to include this information. Nonetheless, the Office still strongly encourages all service providers to provide a secondary contact as a backup to best ensure that important communications from the Office—especially renewal reminders— reach the appropriate person. Because the current regulation only requires this information for administrative purposes, this final rule is a non-substantive, procedural change not ‘‘alter[ing] the rights or interests of parties,’’ and thus is not subject to the notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act.3 Furthermore, the Office finds good cause that permitting notice and comment would be ‘‘contrary to the public interest’’ in this instance.4 Because this final rule will make it even easier and faster for service providers to register an account with the new system, and should reduce any confusion or burden on smaller service providers, it is in the public’s best interest that it take effect without delay. For these same reasons, the Office is making this final rule effective on May 10, 2017, when updates to the electronic system will be made to implement it.5 List of Subjects in 37 CFR Parts 201 and 202 Copyright. jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES Final Regulations For the reasons set forth above, the Copyright Office amends 37 CFR part 201 as follows: 13:27 May 09, 2017 Jkt 241001 1.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia. The revision includes regulatory amendments that allow gasoline dispensing facilities (GDFs) located in Northern Virginia, Fredericksburg, and Richmond that are currently required to install and operate vapor recovery equipment on gasoline dispensers (otherwise referred to as Stage II vapor recovery, or simply as Stage II) to decommission that equipment by January 2017. In prior rulemaking actions, EPA already approved Virginia’s demonstrations that decommissioning Stage II is consistent with the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA guidance. The intended effect of this action is to approve Virginia’s revised petroleum transfer and storage regulation to allow for decommissioning of Stage II equipment. DATES: This final rule is effective on June 9, 2017. SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\10MYR1.SGM 10MYR1
