(2) Fruits and vegetables authorized
importation prior to October 15, 2018.
Fruits and vegetables that were
authorized importation under this
subpart either directly by permit or by
specific regulation as of October 15,
2018 may continue to be imported into
the United States under the same
requirements that applied before
October 15, 2018, except as provided in
paragraph (c)(4) of this section.
(3) Other fruits and vegetables. Fruits
and vegetables not already authorized
for importation as described in
paragraph (c)(2) of this section may be
authorized importation only after:
(i) APHIS has analyzed the pest risk
posed by the importation of a fruit or
vegetable from a specified foreign region
and has determined that the risk posed
by each quarantine pest associated with
the fruit or vegetable can be reasonably
mitigated by the application of one or
more phytosanitary measures;
(ii) APHIS has made its pest risk
analysis and determination available for
public comment for at least 60 days
through a notice published in the
Federal Register; and
(iii) The Administrator has
announced his or her decision in a
subsequent Federal Register notice to
authorize the importation of the fruit or
vegetable subject to the phytosanitary
measures specified in the notice.
(4) Changes to phytosanitary
measures. (i) If the Administrator
determines that the phytosanitary
measures required for a fruit or
vegetable that has been authorized
importation under this subpart are no
longer sufficient to reasonably mitigate
the pest risk posed by the fruit or
vegetable, APHIS will prohibit or
further restrict importation of the fruit
or vegetable. APHIS will also publish a
notice in the Federal Register advising
the public of its finding. The notice will
specify the amended importation
requirements, provide an effective date
for the change, and will invite public
comment on the subject.
(ii) If the Administrator determines
that any of the phytosanitary measures
required for a fruit or vegetable that has
been authorized importation under this
subpart are no longer necessary to
reasonably mitigate the pest risk posed
by the fruit or vegetable, APHIS will
make new pest risk documentation
available for public comment, in
accordance with paragraph (c)(3) of this
section, prior to allowing importation of
the fruit or vegetable subject to the
phytosanitary measures specified in the
notice.

The Federal Trade
Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) is
amending its Telemarketing Sales Rule
(‘‘TSR’’) by updating the fees charged to
entities accessing the National Do Not
Call Registry (the ‘‘Registry’’) as
required by the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee
Extension Act of 2007.

Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
To comply
with the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee
Extension Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110–188,
122 Stat. 635) (‘‘Act’’), the Commission
is amending the TSR by updating the
fees entities are charged for accessing
the Registry as follows: The revised rule
increases the annual fee for access to the
Registry for each area code of data from
$62 to $63 per area code; and increases
the maximum amount that will be
charged to any single entity for
accessing area codes of data from
$17,021 to $17,406. Entities may add
area codes during the second six months
of their annual subscription; the fee for
those additional area codes of data
increases from $31 to $32.
These increases are in accordance
with the Act, which specifies that
beginning after fiscal year 2009, the
dollar amounts charged shall be
increased by an amount equal to the
amounts specified in the Act, multiplied
by the percentage (if any) by which the
average of the monthly consumer price
index (for all urban consumers
published by the Department of Labor)
(‘‘CPI’’) for the most recently ended 12month period ending on June 30
exceeds the CPI for the 12-month period
ending June 30, 2008. The Act also
states that any increase shall be rounded
to the nearest dollar and that there shall
be no increase in the dollar amounts if
the change in the CPI since the last fee
increase is less than one percent. For
fiscal year 2009, the Act specified that
the original annual fee for access to the
Registry for each area code of data was
$54 per area code, or $27 per area code
of data during the second six months of
an entity’s annual subscription period,
and that the maximum amount that
would be charged to any single entity
for accessing area codes of data would
be $14,850.

The determination whether a fee
change is required and the amount of
the fee change involves a two-step
process. First, to determine whether a
fee change is required, we measure the
change in the CPI from the time of the
previous increase in fees. There was an
increase in the fees for fiscal year 2018.
Accordingly, we calculated the change
in the CPI since last year, and the
increase was 2.25 percent. Because this
change is over the one percent
threshold, the fees will change for fiscal
year 2019.
Second, to determine how much the
fees should increase this fiscal year, we
use the calculation specified by the Act
set forth above: The percentage change
in the baseline CPI applied to the
original fees for fiscal year 2009. The
average value of the CPI for July 1, 2007
to June 30, 2008 was 211.702; the
average value for July 1, 2017 to June 30,
2018 was 248.126, an increase of 17.21
percent. Applying the 17.21 percent
increase to the base amount from fiscal
year 2009, leads to a $63 fee for access
to a single area code of data for a full
year for fiscal year 2019, an increase of
$1 from last year. The actual amount is
$63.29, but when rounded, pursuant to
the Act, $63 is the appropriate fee. The
fee for accessing an additional area code
for a half year increases from $31 to $32
(rounded from $31.65). The maximum
amount charged increases to $17,406
(rounded from $17,405.69).
Administrative Procedure Act;
Regulatory Flexibility Act; Paperwork
Reduction Act. The revisions to the Fee
Rule are technical in nature and merely
incorporate statutory changes to the
TSR. These statutory changes have been
adopted without change or
interpretation, making public comment
unnecessary. Therefore, the Commission
has determined that the notice and
comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act do not
apply. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b). For this
reason, the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act also do not
apply. See 5 U.S.C. 603, 604.
Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521, the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’)
approved the information collection
requirements in the Amended TSR and
assigned the following existing OMB
Control Number: 3084–0169. The
amendments outlined in this Final Rule
pertain only to the fee provision
(§ 310.8) of the Amended TSR and will
not establish or alter any record
keeping, reporting, or third-party
disclosure requirements elsewhere in
the Amended TSR.

shall be no charge to any person for
accessing the first five area codes of
data, and provided further, that there
shall be no charge to any person
engaging in or causing others to engage
in outbound telephone calls to
consumers and who is accessing area
codes of data in the National Do Not
Call Registry if the person is permitted
to access, but is not required to access,
the National Do Not Call Registry under
this Rule, 47 CFR 64.1200, or any other
Federal regulation or law. No person
may participate in any arrangement to
share the cost of accessing the National
Do Not Call Registry, including any
arrangement with any telemarketer or
service provider to divide the costs to
access the registry among various clients
of that telemarketer or service provider.
(d) Each person who pays, either
directly or through another person, the
annual fee set forth in paragraph (c) of
this section, each person excepted
under paragraph (c) from paying the
annual fee, and each person excepted
from paying an annual fee under
§ 310.4(b)(1)(iii)(B), will be provided a
unique account number that will allow
that person to access the registry data
for the selected area codes at any time
for the twelve month period beginning
on the first day of the month in which
the person paid the fee (‘‘the annual

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

PBGC’s
regulations on Allocation of Assets in
Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR part
4044) and Benefits Payable in
Terminated Single-Employer Plans (29
CFR part 4022) prescribe actuarial
assumptions—including interest
assumptions—for valuing and paying
plan benefits under terminating singleemployer plans covered by title IV of
the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The
interest assumptions in the regulations
are also published on PBGC’s website
(https://www.pbgc.gov).
The interest assumptions in appendix
B to part 4044 are used to value benefits
for allocation purposes under ERISA
section 4044. PBGC uses the interest
assumptions in appendix B to part 4022
to determine whether a benefit is
payable as a lump sum and to determine
the amount to pay. Appendix C to part
4022 contains interest assumptions for
private-sector pension practitioners to
refer to if they wish to use lump-sum
interest rates determined using PBGC’s
historical methodology. Currently, the
rates in appendices B and C of the
benefit payment regulation are the same.
The interest assumptions are intended
to reflect current conditions in the
financial and annuity markets.
Assumptions under the asset allocation
regulation are updated quarterly;
assumptions under the benefit payments
regulation are updated monthly. This
final rule updates the benefit payments
interest assumptions for October 2018
and updates the asset allocation interest
assumptions for the fourth quarter
(October through December) of 2018.
The fourth quarter 2018 interest
assumptions under the allocation
regulation will be 2.84 percent for the
first 20 years following the valuation
date and 2.76 percent thereafter. In
comparison with the interest
assumptions in effect for the third
quarter of 2018, these interest
assumptions represent a decrease of 5
years in the select period (the period
during which the select rate (the initial
rate) applies), an increase of 0.31
percent in the select rate, and an
increase of 0.12 percent in the ultimate
rate (the final rate).
The October 2018 interest
assumptions under the benefit payments
regulation will be 1.25 percent for the
period during which a benefit is in pay
status and 4.00 percent during any years

preceding the benefit’s placement in pay
status. In comparison with the interest
assumptions in effect for September
2018, these interest assumptions
represent no change in the immediate
rate and no changes in i1, i2, or i3.
PBGC has determined that notice and
public comment on this amendment are
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest. This finding is based on the
need to determine and issue new
interest assumptions promptly so that
the assumptions can reflect current
market conditions as accurately as
possible.
Because of the need to provide
immediate guidance for the valuation
and payment of benefits under plans
with valuation dates during October
2018, PBGC finds that good cause exists
for making the assumptions set forth in
this amendment effective less than 30
days after publication.
PBGC has determined that this action
is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under the criteria set forth in Executive
Order 12866.
Because no general notice of proposed
rulemaking is required for this
amendment, the Regulatory Flexibility
Act of 1980 does not apply. See 5 U.S.C.
601(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To comply with the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee
Extension Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-188, 122 Stat. 635) (``Act''), the
Commission is amending the TSR by updating the fees entities are
charged for accessing the Registry as follows: The revised rule
increases the annual fee for access to the Registry for each area code
of data from $62 to $63 per area code; and increases the maximum amount
that will be charged to any single entity for accessing area codes of
data from $17,021 to $17,406. Entities may add area codes during the
second six months of their annual subscription; the fee for those
additional area codes of data increases from $31 to $32.
These increases are in accordance with the Act, which specifies
that beginning after fiscal year 2009, the dollar amounts charged shall
be increased by an amount equal to the amounts specified in the Act,
multiplied by the percentage (if any) by which the average of the
monthly consumer price index (for all urban consumers published by the
Department of Labor) (``CPI'') for the most recently ended 12-month
period ending on June 30 exceeds the CPI for the 12-month period ending
June 30, 2008. The Act also states that any increase shall be rounded
to the nearest dollar and that there shall be no increase in the dollar
amounts if the change in the CPI since the last fee increase is less
than one percent. For fiscal year 2009, the Act specified that the
original annual fee for access to the Registry for each area code of
data was $54 per area code, or $27 per area code of data during the
second six months of an entity's annual subscription period, and that
the maximum amount that would be charged to any single entity for
accessing area codes of data would be $14,850.
The determination whether a fee change is required and the amount

2018 was 248.126, an increase of 17.21 percent. Applying the 17.21
percent increase to the base amount from fiscal year 2009, leads to a
$63 fee for access to a single area code of data for a full year for
fiscal year 2019, an increase of $1 from last year. The actual amount
is $63.29, but when rounded, pursuant to the Act, $63 is the
appropriate fee. The fee for accessing an additional area code for a
half year increases from $31 to $32 (rounded from $31.65). The maximum

Sec. 310.8 Fee for access to the National Do Not Call Registry.
* * * * *
(c) The annual fee, which must be paid by any person prior to
obtaining access to the National Do Not Call Registry, is $63 for each
area code of data accessed, up to a maximum of $17,406; provided,
however, that there shall be no charge to any person for accessing the
first five area codes of data, and provided further, that there shall
be no charge to any person engaging in or causing others to engage in
outbound telephone calls to consumers and who is accessing area codes
of data in the National Do Not Call Registry if the person is permitted
to access, but is not required to access, the National Do Not Call
Registry under this Rule, 47 CFR 64.1200, or any other Federal
regulation or law. No person may participate in any arrangement to
share the cost of accessing the National Do Not Call Registry,
including any arrangement with any telemarketer or service provider to
divide the costs to access the registry among various clients of that
telemarketer or service provider.
(d) Each person who pays, either directly or through another
person, the annual fee set forth in paragraph (c) of this section, each
person excepted under paragraph (c) from paying the annual fee, and
each person excepted from paying an annual fee under Sec.
310.4(b)(1)(iii)(B), will be provided a unique account number that will
allow that person to access the registry data for the selected area
codes at any time for the twelve month period beginning on the first
day of the month in which the person paid the fee (``the annual
period''). To obtain access to additional area codes of data during the
first six months of the annual period, each person required to pay the
fee under paragraph (c) of this section must first
[[Page 46641]]
pay $63 for each additional area code of data not initially selected.
To obtain access to additional area codes of data during the second six
months of the annual period, each person required to pay the fee under
paragraph (c) of this section must first pay $32 for each additional
area code of data not initially selected. The payment of the additional
fee will permit the person to access the additional area codes of data
for the remainder of the annual period.
