Register.

B. Basis and Purpose

    Due to the emergency replacement of the approach span leading to
the West Venetian Causeway Bridge across the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway, Miami, Florida, the roadway will be closed from November 1,
2014 until August 1, 2015. As a result, the bridge owner will place the
West Venetian Causeway Bridge in the open to navigation position.
    This road closure action will require all Venetian Islands visitors
and residents to use the East Venetian Causeway Bridge.
    The vertical clearance of the East Venetian Causeway Bridge is five
feet above mean high water and the horizontal clearance is 57 feet
between fenders. Existing regulations require the Biscayne Bay East
Venetian Causeway Bridge to open on signal except from 7 a.m. to 7
p.m., Monday through Friday (excluding Federal holidays) when the
bridge must only open on the hour and half hour. Both the Mayor of
Miami-Dade County and the Mayor of Miami Beach have requested that the
Coast Guard consider closing the East Venetian Causeway Bridge to all
marine traffic for the estimated nine-month period of bridge repair at
the approach span on West side of the Venetian Islands. To ensure that
vessel traffic unable to transit under the bridge in the closed
position can continue to use this waterway while repairs are made to
the West Venetian Causeway Bridge, the Coast Guard proposes a temporary
amendment to this regulation requiring the East Venetian Causeway
Bridge to open at 10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. seven days a week from 7
a.m. on November 1, 2014 to 11:59 p.m. on August 15, 2015.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This proposed rule will temporarily modify the operating schedule
of the Venetian Causeway Bridge (East) at 33 CFR 117.269. Under the
proposed rule, vessels will be able to pass through the East Venetian
Causeway Bridge twice per day, 10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. This restricted
bridge opening period will allow vehicular traffic to access and depart
from the Venetian Causeway while repairs are made to the West Venetian
Causeway Bridge. Emergency vessels will be passed through the bridge at
any time.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on these statutes or executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
    This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    This regulatory action will not have a significant economic impact
as vessels will still be able to transit the bridge at the scheduled
intervals or transit the West Venetian Causeway Bridge. Therefore, it
will meet the reasonable needs of navigation while accommodating the
increased vehicular traffic.
2. Impact on Small Entities
    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.

    This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
needing to transit the bridge who will then need to seek the alternate
route, which is some cases could add an additional \1/2\ hour to \3/4\
hour to their transit time to the ocean in each direction.
    This action will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: Vessel
traffic may transit the West Venetian Causeway Bridge during the period
this regulation is enforced. In the closed position, vessels with a
vertical clearance of less than 5 feet may transit the East Venetian
Causeway Bridge. The bridge will continue to open two times per day,
10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., to accommodate vessels unable to transit
under the East Venetian Causeway Bridge or through the West Venetian
Causeway Bridge.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.
4. Collection of Information
    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).
5. Federalism
    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it does not have implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
    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 proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
    This proposed 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. Protection of Children
    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. Environment
    We have analyzed this proposed 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 made a preliminary determination 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 proposed 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. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800
and -900 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800 and -900 series airplanes. This
AD requires inspecting ground blocks GD261 and GD264 for corrosion,
measuring the electrical bond resistance between the ground blocks and
the airplane structure, separating the ground wires for the fuel boost
pump circuit between ground blocks GD261 and GD264, and doing
corrective actions if necessary. This AD results from a report of
random flashes of the six fuel pump low pressure lights and
intermittent operation of the fuel boost pumps. We are issuing this AD
to prevent the simultaneous malfunction of all six fuel boost pumps,
which could cause the engines to operate on suction feed and
potentially flame out.

DATES: This AD is effective June 6, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of June 6,
2008.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact
Boeing Commercial Airplanes, P.O. Box 3707, Seattle, Washington 98124-
2207.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
certain Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800 and -900 series
airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on June 6,
2007 (72 FR 31202). That NPRM proposed to require inspecting ground
blocks GD261 and GD264 for corrosion, measuring the electrical bond
resistance between the ground blocks and the airplane structure,
separating the ground wires for the fuel boost pump circuit between
ground blocks GD261 and GD264, and doing corrective actions if
necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We have considered the comments received.

Support for the NPRM

    AirTran Airways supports the NPRM.

Request to Incorporate Revised Service Bulletin

    The NPRM referred to Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-
28-1257, dated February 26, 2007, as the appropriate source of service
information for the proposed requirements. Boeing requests that we
revise the NPRM to refer to Revision 1 of the service bulletin, which
Boeing issued after we issued the NPRM.
    We have reviewed the revised service bulletin. In Revision 1, dated
November 28, 2007, Boeing removed certain annunciator checks, updated
temperature control operational test instructions, and removed certain
wire separation requirements. Revision 1 provides no substantive
changes or additional work. We agree to revise the final rule to
require Revision 1, and to provide credit for the original version.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that
these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 1,871 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. The following table provides the estimated costs for
U.S. operators to comply with this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs''
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory
Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On July 9, 2012, the President signed into law the Food and Drug
Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) (Pub L. 112-144).
Section 508 of FDASIA directs the Secretary of HHS to submit a report
to Congress on the implementation of the Best Pharmaceuticals for
Children Act (BPCA) and Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA). The first
report was required to be submitted to Congress by July 9, 2016, and
subsequent reports are required every 5 years thereafter. FDASIA also
requires FDA to obtain, at least 180 days prior to submission of the
report, stakeholder input from patient groups, consumer groups,
regulated industry, academia, and any other interested parties to
obtain any recommendations or information relevant to the report
including suggestions for modifications that would improve pediatric
drug research and pediatric labeling of drugs and biological products.
In addition, on August 18, 2017, the Food and Drug Administration
Reauthorization Act (FDARA) (Pub L. 115-52) was signed into law, which
outlined additional requirements to be included in the report.
    Some of the issues to be discussed at the meeting will include, but
not be limited to:
     Hearing from patients/parents and patient/parent groups,
industry, academia and other stakeholders about the public health
impact that pediatric legislation may have had on them or their
communities;
     Understanding the effects of the requirement of pediatric
studies under PREA or the incentives under BPCA on drug/biologic
development plans; and
     Understanding if there are any barriers or resource issues
preventing undertaking or completing studies under PREA and BPCA.

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department’s regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide
the services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our

action was consistent with Department policy; and (2) grant of the
authority was consistent with the public interest; and (3) grant of the
authority would not constitute a major regulatory action under the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.  To the extent not granted,
or dismissed, we denied all requests in the referenced Dockets.  We may
amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this Notice at any
time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

[Docket No. FDA-2008-N-0637]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for Office
of Management and Budget Review; Comment Request; Financial Disclosure
by Clinical Investigators

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY:  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a
proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES:  Fax written comments on the collection of information by May
22, 2009.

ADDRESSES:  To ensure that comments on the information collection are
received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer,
FAX:<PHONE_NUMBER>, or e-mailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>All
comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910-0396.
Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Elizabeth Berbakos, Office of
Information Management (HFA-710), Food and Drug Administration, 5600
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators--(OMB Control Number
0910-0396)--Extension

    Respondents are sponsors of marketing applications that contain
clinical data from studies covered by the regulations. These sponsors
represent pharmaceutical, biologic, and medical device firms. The
applicant will incur reporting costs in order to comply with the final
rule. Applicants will be required to submit, for example, the complete
list of clinical investigators for each covered study, not employed by
the applicant and/or sponsor of the covered study, and either certify
to the absence of certain financial arrangements with clinical
investigators or disclose the nature of those arrangements to FDA and
the steps taken by the applicant or sponsor to minimize the potential
for bias. The clinical investigator will have to supply information
regarding financial interests or payments held in the sponsor of the
covered study.
    In the Federal Register of December 29, 2008 (73 FR 79493), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information
collection provisions. Two comments were received, one comment
expressed support for this information collection. The second comment
raised several issues, first, the issue of the current cost the
commenter incurs in the collection of Financial Disclosure and the
estimate of substantial operating costs the commenter incurs in
operating costs to support the collection of investigator financial
information. FDA appreciates the comment and based on this new data,
submitted by the commenter, will undertake a new evaluation whether
there are capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated
with this collection of information. FDA also appreciates the comment
concerning the definition of ``clinical investigator'' and will forward
the comment to the FDA office responsible for this collection of
information to consider in any future rulemaking. However, these
definitions are codified in 21 CFR 54.2.
    FDA also appreciates the comment regarding the use of Form FDA 1572
to minimize burden. However, 21 CFR 54.4 requires the use of Form FDA
3454 and Form FDA 3455. This comment will also be forwarded to the FDA
office responsible for this collection of information to consider in
any future rulemaking.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

    The sponsors of covered studies will be required to maintain
complete records of compensation agreements with any compensation paid
to nonemployee clinical investigators, including information showing
any financial interests held by the clinical investigator, for a time
period of 2 years after the date of approval of the applications. This
time is consistent with the current recordkeeping requirements for
other information related to marketing applications for human drugs,
biologics, and medical devices. Currently, sponsors of covered studies
must maintain many records with regard to clinical investigators,
including protocol agreements and investigator resumes or curriculum
vitae. FDA estimates than an average of 15 minutes will be required for
each recordkeeper to add this record to clinical investigators' file.

October 25, 2007. If the passenger motor vehicle insurers remain
listed, they must submit reports by each subsequent October 25.

DATES: This final rule becomes effective on October 1, 2007, given the
date of submission. Insurers listed in the appendices are required to
submit reports before October 25, 2007.
    If you wish to submit a petition for reconsideration of this rule,
your petition must be received by October 15, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Petitions for reconsideration should refer to the docket
number and be submitted to: Administrator, National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West Building, Room
W41-307, Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 33112, Insurer reports and information, NHTSA
requires certain passenger motor vehicle insurers to file an annual
report with the agency. Each insurer's report includes information
about thefts and recoveries of motor vehicles, the rating rules used by
the insurer to establish premiums for comprehensive coverage, the
actions taken by the insurer to reduce such premiums, and the actions
taken by the insurer to reduce or deter theft. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
33112(f), the following insurers are subject to the reporting
requirements:
    (1) Issuers of motor vehicle insurance policies whose total
premiums account for 1 percent or more of the total premiums of motor
vehicle insurance issued within the United States;
    (2) Issuers of motor vehicle insurance policies whose premiums
account for 10 percent or more of total premiums written within any one
state; and
    (3) Rental and leasing companies with a fleet of 20 or more
vehicles not covered by theft insurance policies issued by insurers of
motor vehicles, other than any governmental entity.
    Pursuant to its statutory exemption authority, the agency exempted
certain passenger motor vehicle insurers from the reporting
requirements.

A. Small Insurers of Passenger Motor Vehicles

    Section 33112(f)(2) provides that the agency shall exempt small
insurers of passenger motor vehicles if NHTSA finds that such
exemptions will not significantly affect the validity or usefulness of
the information in the reports, either nationally or on a State-by-
State basis. The term ``small insurer'' is defined, in Section
33112(f)(1)(A) and (B), as an insurer whose premiums for motor vehicle
insurance issued directly or through an affiliate, including pooling
arrangements established under State law or regulation for the issuance
of motor vehicle insurance, account for less than 1 percent of the
total premiums for all forms of motor vehicle insurance issued by
insurers within the United States. However, that section also
stipulates that if an insurance company satisfies this definition of a
``small insurer,'' but accounts for 10 percent or more of the total
premiums for all motor vehicle insurance issued in a particular state,
the insurer must report about its operations in that State.
    In the final rule establishing the insurer reports requirement (49
CFR part 544), (52 FR 59; January 2, 1987), NHTSA exercised its
exemption authority by listing in Appendix A each insurer that must
report because it had at least 1 percent of the motor vehicle insurance
premiums nationally. Listing the insurers subject to reporting, instead
of each insurer exempted from reporting because it had less than 1
percent of the premiums nationally, is administratively simpler since
the former group is much smaller than the latter. In Appendix B, NHTSA
lists those insurers required to report for particular states because
each insurer had a 10 percent or greater market share of motor vehicle
premiums in those states. In the January 1987 final rule, the agency
stated that it would update Appendices A and B annually. NHTSA updates
the appendices based on data voluntarily provided by insurance
companies to A.M. Best, which A.M. Best \1\ publishes in its State/Line
Report each spring. The agency uses the data to determine the insurers'
market shares nationally and in each state.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A.M. Best Company is a well-recognized source of insurance
company ratings and information. 49 U.S.C. 33112(i) authorizes NHTSA
to consult with public and private organizations as necessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Insured Rental and Leasing Companies

    In addition, upon making certain determinations, NHTSA grants
exemptions to self-insurers, i.e., any person who has a fleet of 20 or
more motor vehicles (other than any governmental entity) used for
rental or lease whose vehicles are not covered by theft insurance
policies issued by insurers of passenger motor vehicles, 49 U.S.C.
33112(b)(1) and (f). Under 49 U.S.C. 33112(e)(1) and (2), NHTSA may
exempt a self-insurer from reporting, if the agency determines:
    (1) The cost of preparing and furnishing such reports is excessive
in relation to the size of the business of the insurer; and 33112(e)(1)
and (2),
    (2) The insurer's report will not significantly contribute to
carrying out the purposes of Chapter 331.
    In a final rule published June 22, 1990 (55 FR 25606), the agency
granted a class exemption to all companies that rent or lease fewer
than 50,000 vehicles, because it believed that the largest companies'
reports sufficiently represent the theft experience of rental and
leasing companies. NHTSA concluded that smaller rental and leasing
companies' reports do not significantly contribute to carrying out
NHTSA's statutory obligations and that exempting such companies will
relieve an unnecessary burden on them. As a result of the June 1990
final rule, the agency added Appendix C, consisting of an annually
updated list of the self-insurers subject to Part 544. Following the
same approach as in Appendix A, NHTSA included, in Appendix C, each of
the self-insurers subject to reporting instead of the self-insurers
which are exempted. NHTSA updates Appendix C based primarily on
information from Automotive Fleet Magazine and Auto Rental News.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Automotive Fleet Magazine and Auto Rental News are
publications that provide information on the size of fleets and
market share of rental and leasing companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. When a Listed Insurer Must File a Report

    Under Part 544, as long as an insurer is listed, it must file
reports on or before October 25 of each year. Thus, any insurer listed
in the appendices must file a report before October 25, and by each
succeeding October 25, absent an amendment removing the insurer's name
from the appendices.

II. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

1. Insurers of Passenger Motor Vehicles

    On April 9, 2007, NHTSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) to update the list of insurers in Appendices A, B, and, C
required to file reports (72 FR 17465). Appendix A lists insurers that
must report because each had 1 percent of the motor vehicle insurance
premiums on a national basis. The list was last amended in a final rule
published on September 5, 2006 (71 FR 52291). Based on the 2004
calendar year market share data from A.M. Best, NHTSA proposed to
remove Travelers PC Group and add St Paul Travelers Companies to
Appendix A.
    Each of the 18 insurers listed in Appendix A are required to file a
report before October 25, 2007, setting forth the information required
by Part 544 for each State in which it did business in the 2004
calendar year. As long as these 18 insurers remain listed, they are
required to submit a report by each subsequent October 25 for the
calendar year ending slightly less than 3 years before.
    Appendix B lists insurers required to report for particular States
for calendar year 2004, because each insurer had a 10 percent or
greater market share of motor vehicle premiums in those States. Based
on the 2004 calendar year data for market shares from A.M. Best, we
proposed to remove Arbella Mutual Insurance (Massachusetts) and add the

Farm Bureau of Idaho Group (Idaho) to Appendix B.
    The nine insurers listed in Appendix B are required to report on
their calendar year 2004 activities in every State where they had a 10
percent or greater market share. These reports must be filed by October
25, 2007, and set forth the information required by Part 544. As long
as these nine insurers remain listed, they would be required to submit
reports on or before each subsequent October 25 for the calendar year
ending slightly less than 3 years before.

2. Rental and Leasing Companies

    Appendix C lists rental and leasing companies required to file
reports. Based on information in Automotive Fleet Magazine and Auto
Rental News for 2004, NHTSA proposed to add Emkay, Inc. Each of the
eight companies (including franchisees and licensees) listed in
Appendix C are required to file reports for calendar year 2004 no later
than October 25, 2007, and set forth the information required by Part
544. As long as those eight companies remain listed, they would be
required to submit reports before each subsequent October 25 for the
calendar year ending slightly less than 3 years before.

Public Comments on Final Determination

Insurers of Passenger Motor Vehicles

    The agency received no comments in response to the NPRM for
Appendices A, B and C. Therefore, this final rule adopts the proposed
changes to Appendix A, B and C. Accordingly, NHTSA has determined that
each of the 18 insurers listed in Appendix A, each of the nine insurers
listed in Appendix B and each of eight companies listed in Appendix C
are required to submit an insurer report on its experience for calendar
year 2004 as required by 49 CFR Part 544.

Submission of Theft Loss Report

    Passenger motor vehicle insurers listed in the appendices can
forward their theft loss reports to the agency in several ways:
    a. Mail: Rosalind Proctor, Office of International Vehicle, Fuel
Economy and Consumer Standards, Department of Transportation, NHTSA,
West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., NVS-131, Room W43-302,
Washington, DC 20590
    b. E-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or
    c. Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Theft loss reports may also be submitted to the docket
electronically by:
    d. Logging onto the Dockets Management System Web site at http://dms.dot.gov.
 Click on ``ES Submit'' or ``Help'' to obtain instructions

for filing the document electronically.

Regulatory Impacts

1. Costs and Other Impacts

    This notice has not been reviewed under Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review. NHTSA has considered the impact of this
final rule and determined that the action is not ``significant'' within
the meaning of the Department of Transportation's regulatory policies
and procedures. This final rule implements the agency's policy of
ensuring that all insurance companies that are statutorily eligible for
exemption from the insurer reporting requirements are in fact exempted
from those requirements. Only those companies that are not statutorily
eligible for an exemption are required to file reports.
    NHTSA does not believe that this rule, reflecting current data,
affects the impacts described in the final regulatory evaluation
prepared for the final rule establishing Part 544 (52 FR 59; January 2,
1987). Accordingly, a separate regulatory evaluation has not been
prepared for this rulemaking action. Using the Bureau of Labor
Statistics Consumer Price Index for 2006 (see http://www.bls.gov/cpi),

the cost estimates in the 1987 final regulatory evaluation were
adjusted for inflation. The agency estimates that the cost of
compliance is $100,800 for any insurer added to Appendix A, $40,320 for
any insurer added to Appendix B, and $11,632 for any insurer added to
Appendix C. In this final rule, the agency made no additional changes
to Appendices A, B, or C of the list of insurers published in the April
9, 2007 NPRM. Therefore, there will be no additional net effect of this
final rule. Accordingly, this final will adopt the proposed changes to
Appendix A, B and C.
    Interested persons may wish to examine the 1987 final regulatory
evaluation. Copies of that evaluation were placed in Docket No. T86-01;
Notice 2. Any interested person may obtain a copy of this evaluation by
writing to NHTSA, Docket Section, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West
Building (Ground Floor), Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590, or by
calling<PHONE_NUMBER>.

2. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The information collection requirements in this final rule were
submitted and approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
pursuant to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.). The existing information collection indicates that the
number of respondents for this collection is forty-five, however, the
actual number of respondents fluctuate from year to year. Therefore,
because the number of respondents required to report for this final
rule does not exceed the number of respondents indicated in the
existing information collection, the agency does not believe that an
amendment to the existing information collection is necessary. This
collection of information is assigned OMB Control Number 2127-0547
(``Insurer Reporting Requirements'') and is approved for use through
August 31, 2009, and the agency will seek to extend the approval
afterwards.

3. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The agency also considered the effects of this rulemaking under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). I certify that
this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. The rationale for the
certification is that none of the companies listed on Appendices A, B,
or C are construed to be a small entity within the definition of the
RFA. ``Small insurer'' is defined, in part under 49 U.S.C. 33112, as
any insurer whose premiums for all forms of motor vehicle insurance
account for less than 1 percent of the total premiums for all forms of
motor vehicle insurance issued by insurers within the United States, or
any insurer whose premiums within any State, account for less than 10
percent of the total premiums for all forms of motor vehicle insurance
issued by insurers within the State. This notice exempts all insurers
meeting those criteria. Any insurer too large to meet those criteria is
not a small entity. In addition, in this rulemaking, the agency exempts
all ``self insured rental and leasing companies'' that have fleets of
fewer than 50,000 vehicles. Any self-insured rental and leasing company
too large to meet that criterion is not a small entity.

4. Federalism

    This action has been analyzed according to the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612, and it has been determined
that the final rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to
warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

5. Environmental Impacts

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, NHTSA has
considered the environmental impacts of this final rule and determined
that it would not have a significant impact on the quality of the human
environment.

6. Civil Justice Reform

    This final rule does not have any retroactive effect, and it does
not preempt any State law, 49 U.S.C. 33117 provides that judicial
review of this rule may be obtained pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 32909, and
section 32909 does not require submission of a petition for
reconsideration or other administrative proceedings before parties may
file suit in court.

7. Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)

    The Department of Transportation assigns a regulation identifier
number (RIN) to each regulatory action listed in the Unified Agenda of
Federal Regulations. The Regulatory Information Service Center
publishes the Unified Agenda in April and October of each year. You may
use the RIN contained in the heading, at the beginning, of this
document to find this action in the Unified Agenda.

8. Plain Language

    Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write all rules in
plain language. Application of the principles of plain language
includes consideration of the following questions:
     Have we organized the material to suit the public's needs?
     Are the requirements in the proposal clearly stated?
     Does the proposal contain technical language or jargon
that is not clear?
     Would a different format (grouping and order of sections,
