AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of expired temporary rules issued.

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

SUMMARY: This document provides required notice of substantive rules
issued by the Coast Guard and that were made temporarily effective
between May 2011 and November 2011, and that expired before they could
be published in the Federal Register. This notice lists temporary
safety zones, security zones, special local regulations, drawbridge
operation regulations and regulated navigation areas, all of limited
duration and for which timely publication in the Federal Register was
not possible.

DATES: This document lists temporary Coast Guard rules between May 1,
2011, and November 15, 2011, that became effective and were terminated
before they could be published in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: The Docket Management Facility maintains the public docket

U.S. Department of Transportation, West Building ground floor, room
W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590 between 9

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast Guard District Commanders and Captains
of the Port (COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and
security needs within their jurisdiction; therefore, District
Commanders and COTPs have been delegated the authority to issue certain
local regulations. Safety zones may be established for safety or
environmental purposes. A safety zone may be stationary and described
by fixed limits or it may be described as a zone around a vessel in
motion. Security zones limit access to prevent injury or damage to
vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities. Special local regulations are
issued to enhance the safety of participants and spectators at regattas
and other marine events. Drawbridge operation regulations authorize
changes to drawbridge schedules to accommodate bridge repairs, seasonal
vessel traffic, and local public events. Regulated Navigation Areas are
water areas within a defined boundary for which regulations for vessels
navigating within the area have been established by the regional Coast
Guard District Commander.
    Timely publication of these rules in the Federal Register is often
precluded when a rule responds to an emergency, or when an event occurs
without sufficient advance notice. The affected public is, however,
often informed of these rules through Local Notices to Mariners, press
releases, and other means. Moreover, actual notification is provided by
Coast Guard patrol vessels enforcing the restrictions imposed by the
rule. Because Federal Register publication was not possible before the
end of the effective period, mariners were personally notified of the
contents of these safety zones, security zones, special local
regulations, regulated navigation areas or drawbridge operation
regulations by Coast Guard officials on-scene prior to any enforcement
action. However, the Coast Guard, by law, must publish in the Federal
Register notice of substantive rules adopted. To meet this obligation
without imposing undue expense on the public, the Coast Guard
periodically publishes a list of these temporary safety zones, security
zones, special local regulations, regulated navigation areas and
drawbridge operation regulations. Permanent rules are not included in
this list because they are published in their entirety in the Federal
Register. Temporary rules are also published in their entirety if
sufficient time is available to do so before they are placed in effect
or terminated. The temporary rules listed in this notice have been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12666, Regulatory Planning
and Review, because of their emergency nature, or limited scope and
temporary effectiveness.
    The following unpublished rules were placed in effect temporarily
during the period between May 1, 2011 and November 15, 2011 unless
otherwise indicated. To view copies of these rules, visit
www.regulations.gov and search by the docket number indicated in the
list below.

    Dated: January 30, 2012.

Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.

[Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0179]

Training Program for Regulatory Project Managers; Information
Available to Industry

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research (CDER) is announcing the continuation of the
Regulatory Project Management Site Tours and Regulatory Interaction
Program (the Site Tours Program). The purpose of this document is to
invite pharmaceutical companies interested in participating in this
program to contact CDER.

DATES: Pharmaceutical companies may send proposed agendas to the Agency
by April 13, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dan Brum, Center for Drug Evaluation
and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave.,
Bldg. 22, Rm. 5480, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    An important part of CDER's commitment to make safe and effective
drugs available to all Americans is optimizing the efficiency and
quality of the drug review process. To support this primary goal, CDER
has initiated various training and development programs to promote high
performance in its regulatory project management staff. CDER seeks to
significantly enhance review efficiency and review quality by providing
the staff with a better understanding of the pharmaceutical industry
and its operations. To this end, CDER is continuing its training
program to give regulatory project managers the opportunity to tour
pharmaceutical facilities. The goals are to provide the following: (1)
Firsthand exposure to industry's drug development processes and (2) a
venue for sharing information about project management procedures (but
not drug-specific information) with industry representatives.

II. The Site Tours Program

    In this program, over a 2- to 3-day period, small groups (five or
less) of regulatory project managers, including a senior level
regulatory project manager, can observe operations of pharmaceutical
manufacturing and/or packaging facilities, pathology/toxicology
laboratories, and regulatory affairs operations. Neither this tour nor
any part of the program is intended as a mechanism to inspect, assess,
judge, or perform a regulatory function, but is meant rather to improve
mutual understanding and to provide an avenue for open dialogue. During
the Site Tours Program, regulatory project managers will also
participate in daily workshops with their industry counterparts,
focusing on selective regulatory issues important to both CDER staff
and industry. The primary objective of the daily workshops is to learn
about the team approach to drug development, including drug discovery,
preclinical evaluation, tracking mechanisms, and regulatory submission
operations. The overall benefit to regulatory project managers will be
exposure to project management, team techniques, and processes employed
by the pharmaceutical industry. By participating in this program, the
regulatory project manager will grow professionally by gaining a better
understanding of industry processes and procedures.

III. Site Selection

    All travel expenses associated with the Site Tours Program will be
the responsibility of CDER; therefore, selection will be based on the
availability of funds and resources for each fiscal year. Selection
will also be based on firms having a favorable facility status as
determined by FDA's Office of Regulatory Affairs District Offices in
the firms' respective regions. Firms that want to learn more about this
training opportunity or that are interested in offering a site tour
should respond by sending a proposed agenda by email directly to Dan
Brum (see DATES and FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).

    Dated: February 6, 2018.

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Surface
Coating of Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action on amendments to the
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Surface
Coating of Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks (Automobiles and Light-
Duty Trucks NESHAP) which were promulgated on April 26, 2004, under the
authority of section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act. The direct final rule
amendments provide the option of including surface coating of heavier
motor vehicles under this rule. This action also makes direct final
rule amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and
Products (Miscellaneous Metal Parts NESHAP) and the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Surface Coating of Plastic
Parts and Products (Plastic Parts NESHAP) to maintain consistency
between these rules and the Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP.

DATES: The direct final rule is effective on February 20, 2007 without
further notice, unless EPA receives adverse written comment by January
22, 2007 or by February 5, 2007 if a public hearing is requested by
January 2, 2007. If adverse comments are received, EPA will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register indicating which amendments,
sections, or paragraphs will become effective and which are being
withdrawn due to adverse comment. If anyone contacts EPA requesting to
speak at a public hearing, a public hearing will be held on January 8,
2007.

    Comments. We are publishing the direct final rule amendments
without prior proposal because we view the amendments as
noncontroversial and do not anticipate adverse comments. However, in
the Proposed Rules section of this Federal Register notice, we are
publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to amend
the Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart
IIII), the Miscellaneous Metal Parts NESHAP (40 CFR 63, subpart MMMM),
and the Plastic Parts NESHAP (40 CFR 63, subpart PPPP) if material
adverse comments are filed. Instructions for submitting comments are
provided in that document. If we receive any material adverse comments
on one or more distinct amendments, we will publish a timely withdrawal
in the Federal Register informing the public which provisions will
become effective, and which provisions are being withdrawn due to
material adverse comment. We will address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule, should the EPA determine to issue one. Any of
the distinct amendments in today's direct final rule for which we do
not receive material adverse comment will become effective on the
previously mentioned date. We will not institute a second comment
period on the direct final rule amendments. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so at this time.
    Judicial Review. Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA), judicial review of the direct final rule amendments is available
only by filing a petition for review in the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by February 20, 2007.
Under section 307(d)(7)(B) of the CAA, only an objection to the direct
final rule amendments that was raised with reasonable specificity
during the period for public comment can be raised during judicial
review. Moreover, under section 307(b)(2) of the CAA, the requirements
established by the direct final rule amendments may not be challenged
separately in any civil or criminal proceeding brought by EPA to
enforce these requirements.

I. Background

    On April 26, 2004, we issued the final Automobiles and Light-Duty
Trucks NESHAP (69 FR 22602). The final NESHAP established standards to
control organic hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from new and
existing automobile and light-duty truck surface coating operations.
Today's action amends the final rule by adding an option to include the
coating of heavier vehicle bodies and parts for heavier vehicles in the
affected source under this NESHAP. We are also making direct final rule
amendments to the Miscellaneous Metal Parts NESHAP (40 CFR part 63,
subpart MMMM), and the Plastic Parts NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart
PPPP) to maintain consistency between these rules and the Automobiles
and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII). None of
the amendments will have any discernable effect on the stringency of
the rules.

II. Amendments

    The discussion in this section of the preamble pertains to the
Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII)
unless otherwise noted as applying to the Miscellaneous Metal Parts
NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart MMMM) or the Plastic Parts NESHAP (40
CFR part 63, subpart PPPP). Each of these rules has an early 2007
compliance date for existing sources.
    The main focus of the final rule is the coating of new automobile
or new light-duty truck bodies, and body parts for new automobiles or
new light-duty trucks. The final rule also allows the owner or operator
of an automobile and light-duty truck coating affected source to
include in that affected source any coating operation which applies
coatings to parts intended for use in new automobiles or new light-duty
trucks or as aftermarket repair or replacement parts for automobiles or
light-duty trucks which would otherwise be subject to the Miscellaneous
Metal Parts NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart MMMM) or the Plastic Parts
NESHAP (40 CFR part 63,

subpart PPPP). This makes it possible for such a facility to
demonstrate compliance with requirements applicable to all of these
activities within the final rule rather than having to demonstrate
compliance with two or three rules.
    Some automobile and light-duty truck surface coating facilities
also coat heavier vehicle bodies or body parts for heavier vehicles.
The heavier vehicle bodies or body parts for heavier vehicles may be
coated using the same equipment and materials that are used to coat
automobile and light-duty truck bodies or body parts for automobiles
and light-duty trucks. The final rule does not currently provide an
option for including the coating of heavier vehicle bodies or body
parts for heavier vehicles in the automobile and light-duty truck
affected source. Lacking such an option, a facility which coats
automobiles or light-duty trucks and also coats heavier vehicle bodies
or body parts for heavier vehicles would be subject to the Automobiles
and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII) and also
would be subject to the Miscellaneous Metal Parts NESHAP (40 CFR part
63, subpart MMMM) or the Plastic Parts NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart
PPPP). Adding the option of including the coating of heavier vehicle
bodies or body parts for heavier vehicles in the automobile and light-
duty truck affected source would make it possible for such a facility
to demonstrate compliance with requirements applicable to all of these
activities within the final rule rather than having to demonstrate
compliance with two or three rules.
    Some facilities that coat only heavier vehicle bodies or body parts
for heavier vehicles have paint shops that are designed and operated in
the same manner as paint shops that are used to coat automobile and
light-duty truck bodies and body parts for automobiles and light-duty
trucks. The permit requirements for these heavier vehicle paint shops
are often structured in the same way as permit requirements for
automobile and light-duty truck paint shops. The volatile organic
compounds (VOC) compliance demonstration procedures that are used for
these heavier vehicle paint shops are often the same as the VOC
compliance demonstration procedures that are used for automobile and
light-duty truck paint shops and very similar to the HAP compliance
demonstration procedures in the Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks
NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII). Without the option of including
these heavier vehicle paint shops under the Automobiles and Light-Duty
Trucks NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII), these heavier vehicle
paint shops will have to demonstrate compliance both with VOC
requirements using automobile and light-duty truck procedures and HAP
requirements using very different procedures as specified in the other
NESHAP. Adding the option of including the coating of heavier vehicle
bodies or body parts for heavier vehicles in the automobile and light-
duty truck affected source would make it possible for such a facility
to demonstrate compliance with HAP requirements using the very similar
procedures in the Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP (40 CFR part
63, subpart IIII).
    We, therefore, have amended the final rule by adding an option to
include the coating of heavier vehicle bodies, body parts for heavier
vehicles, and parts for heavier vehicles in the affected source under
this NESHAP. The direct final amendments use the term ``other motor
vehicle'' which is defined as ``a self-propelled vehicle designed for
transporting persons or property on a street or highway that has a
gross vehicle weight rating over 8,500 pounds.'' The emissions limits
in the Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP (40 CFR 63, subpart
IIII) are more stringent than the emissions limits in the Miscellaneous
Metal Parts NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart MMMM) and the Plastic Parts
NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPP). As a result, any heavier vehicle
coating operation that is included in this NESHAP will be required to
achieve the same or greater organic HAP emission reduction than it
would have been required to achieve under the other NESHAP. The first
monthly compliance period for existing sources in the Automobiles and
Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP begins on April 26, 2007 and ends on May 31,
2007. The first 12-month compliance period for existing sources in the
Miscellaneous Metal Parts NESHAP begins on January 2, 2007 and ends on
February 29, 2008. The first 12-month compliance period for existing
sources in the Plastic Parts NESHAP begins on April 19, 2007 and ends
on May 31, 2008. We believe the earlier start of the first compliance
period for existing sources in the Miscellaneous Metal Parts NESHAP is
inconsequential, particularly since the first compliance period for
existing sources in the Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP will
end sooner and continuous compliance with the Automobiles and Light-
Duty Trucks NESHAP will be demonstrated on a monthly basis as opposed
to the 12-month rolling basis used in the other two rules.
    We have amended the Miscellaneous Metal Parts NESHAP (40 CFR part
63, subpart MMMM) to allow the coating of metal heavier vehicle bodies,
metal body parts for heavier vehicles, and metal parts for heavier
vehicles to comply with the Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP
(40 CFR 63, subpart IIII) in lieu of complying with the Miscellaneous
Metal Parts NESHAP. We have amended the Plastic Parts NESHAP (40 CFR
part 63, subpart PPPP) to allow the coating of heavier plastic vehicle
bodies, plastic body parts for heavier vehicles, and plastic parts for
heavier vehicles to comply with the Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks
NESHAP (40 CFR 63, subpart IIII) in lieu of complying with the Plastic
Parts NESHAP.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) initially notified EPA
that it considered this action a ``significant regulatory action''
within the meaning of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993). Nevertheless, after reviewing information regarding this action,
OMB waived review of this action.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden.
This action adds optional provisions to the final standards. OMB has
previously approved the information collection requirements contained
in the existing regulations (40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII) under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq., and
has assigned OMB control number 2060-0550, EPA ICR No. 2045.02. A copy
of the Information Collection Request (ICR) may be obtained from Ms.
Susan Auby by mail at the Office of Environmental Information,
Collection Strategies Division (2822), EPA, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC 20460, by e-mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by
calling<PHONE_NUMBER>. You also may download a copy from the Internet
at http://www.epa.gov/icr. Include the ICR number in any

correspondence.
    Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology

and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to
be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or
otherwise disclose the information.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    EPA has determined that it is not necessary to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis in connection with the direct final rule
amendments.
    For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's direct final rule
on small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business
according to Small Business Administration size standards for companies
identified by NAICS codes 336111 (automobile manufacturing) and 336112
(light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing) with 1,000 or fewer
employees; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government
of a city, county, town, school district, or special district with a
population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is
any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated
and is not dominant in its field. Based on the above definition, there
are no small entities presently engaged in automobile and light-duty
truck surface coating.
    After considering the economic impacts of the final rule on small
entities, EPA has concluded that this action will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This is based on the observation that the final rule affects no small
entities since none are engaged in the surface coating of automobiles
and light-duty trucks.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
1 year. Before promulgating a rule for which a written statement is
needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires us to identify and
consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt the
least costly, most cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative that
achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205 do
not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows us to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation why that
alternative was not adopted. Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, including tribal governments, it must have developed under
section 203 of the UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must
provide for notifying potentially affected small governments, enabling
officials of affected small governments to have meaningful and timely
input in the development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant
Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and
advising small governments on compliance with the regulatory
requirements.
    EPA has determined that the direct final rule amendments do not
contain a Federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100
million or more for State, local, and tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or the private sector in any 1 year. The direct final rule
amendments provide the option of including surface coating of heavier
motor vehicles under this rule and, therefore, add no additional burden
on sources. Thus, the direct final rule amendments are not subject to
the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA.

E. Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects 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.''
    The direct final rule amendments do not have federalism
implications. They will not have substantial direct effects 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132. No
facilities subject to the direct final rule amendments are owned by
State or local governments. Therefore, State and local governments will
not have any direct compliance costs resulting from the direct final
rule amendments. Furthermore, the direct final rule amendments do not
require these governments to take on any new responsibilities. Thus,
Executive Order 13132 does not apply to the direct final rule
amendments.

F. Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have tribal implications.'' The direct final rule
amendments do not have tribal implications as specified in Executive
Order 13175. They will not have substantial direct effects on tribal
governments, 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, because we are not
aware of any Indian tribal governments or communities affected by the
direct final rule amendments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to the direct final rule amendments.

G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies to any
rule that: (1) is determined to be ``economically significant'' as
defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental
health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have a
disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets
both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health or
safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective

and reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that are based on health or safety risks, such that
the analysis required under section 5-501 of the Executive Order has
the potential to influence the regulation. The direct final rule
amendments are not subject to Executive Order 13045 because they are
based on technology performance and not on health or safety risks.

H. Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    The direct final rule amendments are not a ``significant energy
action'' as defined in Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because they are not likely to have a
significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. The direct final rule amendments provide the option of
including surface coating of heavier motor vehicles under this rule
and, therefore, add no additional burden on sources. We have,
therefore, concluded that the direct final rule amendments are not
likely to have any adverse energy effects.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA) of 1995, Public Law No. 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS) in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. VCS are technical standards
(e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and
business practices) that are developed or adopted by VCS bodies. The
NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when
the Agency decides not to use available and applicable VCS. The direct
final rule amendments do not involve technical standards. Therefore,
EPA is not considering the use of any VCS.

J. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801, et seq., as added by
the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996,
generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency
promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy
of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing the
direct final rule amendments and other required information to the
United States Senate, the United States House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the direct final rule amendments in the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. The direct final rule amendments are not a ``major rule'' as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The direct final rule amendments will be
effective on February 20, 2007.
