Finally, GSA conducts independent reviews of the cost of travel and the operation of privately owned airplanes and motorcycles on an annual basis to determine their corresponding mileage reimbursement rates. These reviews evaluate various factors, such as the cost of fuel, depreciation of the original vehicle cost, maintenance and insurance, state and Federal taxes, and consumer price index data.

various revisions to CNMI's primacy program. For the revision covered 
by this action, EPA promulgated the GWR at 40 CFR subpart S on November 
8, 2006 (71 FR 65574). The GWR provides protection against microbial 
pathogens in public water systems using ground water sources. EPA has 
determined that the GWR requirements were adopted into the CNMI 
Commonwealth Register, Section 2141 (alternatively published as 
Northern Mariana Islands Administrative Code, Title 65, Chapter 20) in 
a manner that CNMI's regulations are comparable to and no less 
stringent than the federal requirements. EPA has also determined that 
CNMI's program revision request meets all of the regulatory 
requirements for approval, as set forth in 40 CFR 142.12, including a 
side-by-side comparison of the Federal requirements demonstrating the 
corresponding CNMI authorities, additional materials to support special 
primacy requirements of 40 CFR 142.16, a review of the requirements 
contained in 40 CFR 142.10 necessary for CNMI to attain and retain 
primary enforcement responsibility, and a statement by the CNMI 
Attorney General certifying that CNMI's laws and regulations to carry 
out the program revision were duly adopted and are enforceable. The 
Attorney General's statement also affirms that there are no 
environmental audit privilege and immunity laws that would impact 
CNMI's ability to implement or enforce the CNMI laws and regulations 
pertaining to the program revision. Therefore, EPA approves this 
revision of CNMI's approved primacy program. The Technical Support 
Document, which provides EPA's analysis of CNMI's program revision 
request, is available by submitting a request to the following email 
address: [email protected]. Please note ``Technical Support 
Document'' in the subject line of the email.
