rate. ∫The initial rate must be in at least 18-

point type unless the issuer also discloses in

the table the permanently applicable rate.a

The issuer may disclose in the table the∫

permanently applicablea rate that would

otherwise apply if the issuer also discloses

the time period during which the initial rate

will remain in effect. ∫In that case, the

permanently applicable rate must be in at

least 18-point type.a

7. Increased penalty rates. If the initial rate

may increase upon the occurrence of one or

more specific events, such as a late payment

or an extension of credit that exceeds the

credit limit, the card issuer must disclose in

the table the initial rate and the increased

penalty rate that may apply. If the penalty

rate is based on an index and an increased

margin, the issuer must also disclose in the

table the index and the margin. The issuer

must also disclose the specific event or

events that may result in imposing the

increased rate, such as ‘‘22% APR, if 60 days

late.’’ If the penalty rate cannot be

determined at the time disclosures are given,

the issuer must provide an explanation of the

specific event or events that may result in

imposing an increased rate. In describing the

specific event or events that may result in an

increased rate, issuers need not be as detailed

as for the disclosures required under

§ 226.6(a)(2). øAlternatively¿ For issuers

using a tabular format, the specific event or

events ∫musta ømay¿ be located outside of

the table∫ and an asterisk or other means

shall be used to direct the consumer to the

additional information.a øif the conditions

are noted with an asterisk or other means that

direct the consumer to the explanation.¿ At

its option, the issuer may ∫include in the

explanation of the penalty ratea ødisclose¿

the period for which the increased rate will

remain in effect, such as ‘‘until you make

three timely payments.’’ The issuer need not

disclose an increased rate that is imposed

when credit privileges are permanently

terminated.

G–10(A) illustrates the permissible

inclusionin the tabular format of all of the

disclosures. Model G–10(B) contains only the

disclosures required to be included in the

table, while the three additional disclosures

are shown outside of the table. The two forms

also illustrate two different levels of detail in

disclosing the grace period, and different

arrangements of the disclosures. Model G–

a lower introductory rate and a penalty rate.

Except as otherwise permitted, disclosures

must be substantially similar in sequence and

format to model forms G–10(A), (B), and (C).

vertically or horizontally and need not be

highlighted aside from being included in the

table.a øDisclosures may be arranged in an

order different from that in model forms G–

10(A), (B), and (C); may be arranged

vertically or horizontally; need not be

highlighted aside from being included in the

table; and are not required to be in any

particular type size¿. Various features from

different model forms may be combined; for

example, the shorter grace period disclosure

in model form G–10(B) may be used in any

disclosure. While proper use of the model

forms will be deemed in compliance with the

regulation, card issuers are permitted to use

headings and disclosures other than those in

the forms (with an exception relating to the

use of ‘‘grace period’’) if they are clear and

concise and are substantially similar to the

headings and disclosures contained in model

forms. For further discussion of requirements

relating to form, see the commentary to

§ 226.5a(a)(2).

Federal Plan Requirements for Large

Municipal Waste Combustors

Constructed On or Before September

20, 1994

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to take

action on the ‘‘Federal Plan

Requirements for Large Municipal

Waste Combustors Constructed on or

Before September 20, 1994.’’ This action

would clarify the final compliance date,

update the list of which large municipal

waste combustor (MWC) units are

affected by the Federal plan, and add a

site-specific compliance schedule for

one MWC unit.

On November 12, 1998, the EPA

adopted the Federal plan to implement

emission guidelines for large MWC

units located in areas that are not

covered by an approved and currently

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 24, 2000 / Proposed Rules 33505

effective State plan. In a direct final rule

published elsewhere in the issue of the

Federal Register, we are updating the

MWC Federal plan to identify large

MWC units for which a State plan was

approved and became effective since

adoption of the Federal plan (November

12, 1998). We are also amending part 62

of title 40 of the Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR) to reflect receipt of

negative declarations from States that

have certified that there are no large

MWC units located in the State that

would be subject to the Federal plan.

We are also amending a table in the

Federal plan to clarify that in all cases

for all large MWC units, final

compliance with all emission limits

including the mercury and dioxins/

furans emission limits must be achieved

by December 19, 2000. Finally, we are

amending a table to add a site-specific

compliance schedule for one additional

MWC unit. Today’s action does not

change the emission limits for large

MWC units nor does it change the level

of health protection that the Federal

plan provides.

In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’

section of the Federal Register, we are

amending part 62 as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because we view

the amendments as noncontroversial

and anticipate no adverse comment. The

amendments to the regulatory text

appear in the direct final rule and are

not published as proposed amendments

with this proposed rule. We have

explained our reasons for the

amendments in the preamble to the

direct final rule. If we receive no

adverse comment on this rule, we will

not take further action on this proposed

rule. If we receive adverse comment, we

will withdraw the direct final rule and

it will not take effect. We will address

all public comments in a subsequent

final rule based on this proposed rule.

We will not institute a second comment

period on this action. Any parties

interested in commenting must do so at

this time.

DATES: Written comments must be

received by June 23, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

submitted (in duplicate, if possible) to:

Information Center (MC–6102), Attn:

Administrative Requirements

Regulatory Flexibility Act/Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), as

amended by the Small Business

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of

1996 (SBREFA), generally requires EPA

to prepare a regulatory flexibility

analysis of any rule subject to notice

and comment under the Administrative

Procedure Act or any other statute

unless EPA certifies that the rule will

not have a significant impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

Small entities include small businesses,

small organizations, and small

governmental jurisdictions.

For purposes of assessing the impacts

of this action on small entities, small

entity is defined as: (1) A small business

in this industry with a gross annual

revenue less than $6 million; (2) a small

governmental jurisdiction that is a

government of a city, county, town

school district or special district or a

population of less than 50,000; and (3)

a small organization that is any not-forprofit enterprise that is independently

owned and operated and not dominant

in its field.

This action is not subject to the

requirements of the RFA as modified by

SBREFA because it only makes minor

technical amendments to some of the

rule’s requirements and it does not

impose any additional requirements.

During the 1995 MWC emission

guidelines rulemaking, EPA estimated

that few, if any, small entities would be

affected by the promulgated guidelines

and standards, and therefore, a

regulatory flexibility analysis was not

required (see 60 FR 65413). Therefore,

pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C.

605(b), EPA certifies that the

amendments to the MWC Federal plan

will not have a significant impact on a

substantial number of small entities and

a regulatory flexibility analysis is not

required.
