35286 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 107 / Friday, June 2, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

Federal government provides the funds

necessary to pay the direct compliance

costs incurred by the Tribal

governments, or EPA consults with

those governments. If EPA complies by

consulting, Executive Order 13084

requires EPA to provide to the Office of

Management and Budget, in a separately

identified section of the preamble to the

rule, a description of the extent of EPA’s

prior consultation with representatives

of affected Tribal governments, a

summary of the nature of their concerns,

and a statement supporting the need to

issue the regulation. In addition,

Executive Order 13084 requires EPA to

develop an effective process permitting

elected officials and other

representatives of Indian tribal

governments ‘‘to provide meaningful

and timely input in the development of

regulatory policies on matters that

significantly or uniquely affect their

communities.’’

Today’s rule does not significantly or

uniquely affect the communities of

Indian tribal governments nor does it

impose substantial direct compliance

costs on them. Today’s final rule only

withdraws the selenium CMC from part

132, Table 1(a) of the final Great Lakes

Guidance. Accordingly, the

requirements of section 3(b) of

Executive Order 13084 do not apply to

this rule.

X. Executive Order 13045 on Protection

of Children From Environmental Health

Risks and Safety Risks

Executive Order 13045, Protection of

Children from Environmental Health

Risks and Safety Risks (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.

This final rule is not subject to the

Executive Order because it is not

economically significant as defined in

Executive Order 12866. In addition, this

rule does not concern an environmental

health or safety risks that EPA has

reason to believe may have a

disproportionate effect on children. This

final rule merely removes the aquatic

life CMC for selenium from part 132,

Table 1(a) of the Guidance, consistent

with the 1996 Court order vacating the

acute (CMC) criterion for selenium. In

the interim, EPA is recommending that

States and Tribes rely on the aquatic life

CCC for selenium in Table 2(a) of part

132 when setting permit limits. States

and Tribes have submitted aquatic life

CCC for selenium that are as protective

as the 1995 Guidance CCC for selenium.

XI. National Technology Transfer and

Advancement Act of 1995

Section 12(d) of the National

Technology Transfer and Advancement

Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104–

113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note)

directs EPA to use voluntary consensus

standards in its regulatory activities

unless to do so would be inconsistent

with applicable law or otherwise

impracticable. Voluntary consensus

standards are technical standards (e.g.,

materials specifications, test methods,

sampling procedures, and business

practices) that are developed or adopted

by voluntary consensus standards

bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to

provide Congress, through OMB,

explanations when the Agency decides

not to use available and applicable

voluntary consensus standards. This

action does not involve technical

standards. Therefore, EPA did not

consider the use of any voluntary

consensus standards.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety

Administration

49 CFR Parts 385 and 390

[Docket No. FMCSA–98–3947 (Formerly

Docket No. FHWA–98–3947)]

RIN 2126–AA14 (Formerly 2125–AD49)

Federal Motor Carrier Safety

Regulations; General; Commercial

Motor Vehicle Marking

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety

Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The FMCSA is revising its

requirements concerning the marking of

commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and

for the submission of a Motor Carrier

Identification Report (Form MCS–150)

to the agency. The FMCSA is

eliminating the marking regulations of

the former Interstate Commerce

Commission (ICC), and requiring motor

carriers to apply markings that conform

to the requirements of this final rule.

The agency is also amending its marking

requirements to require that CMVs be

marked with the legal name of the

business entity that owns or controls the

motor carrier operation, or the ‘‘doing

business as’’ (DBA) name, as it appears

on the Form MCS–150. Motor carriers

will be allowed two years to comply

with the requirement to affix the

USDOT number to both sides of their

CMVs, and five years to comply with

the additional requirements to display

the legal name or a single trade name on

the CMVs currently in their fleet. The

FMCSA is redesignating the regulation

that requires motor carriers to submit

the Form MCS–150, and requiring that

all new interstate motor carriers submit

a Form MCS–150 to the FMCSA before

(rather than within 90 days after)

commencing operations. These

revisions are intended to enhance the

ability of the FMCSA, the States, and

the general public to identify motor

carriers. The FMCSA also revises the

listing for locations of motor carrier

safety Service Centers to reflect recent

changes to the agency organizational

structure. They were originally included

in the NPRM concerning safety fitness

procedures [RIN 2126–AA42, formerly

RIN 2125–AE56, Docket No. OMCS–99–

5467 (formerly Docket No. FHWA–99–

5467)] (64 FR 44460, August 16, 1999).

Background

On January 28, 1992, the FHWA

published a final rule (57 FR 3142)

which required interstate motor carriers

to mark their interstate CMVs with

specific information, including the

USDOT number (see 49 CFR 390.21).

The final rule, however, provided an

exception for motor carriers authorized

by the former ICC to conduct operations

as a for-hire motor carrier. These motor

carriers were required to comply only

with the marking provisions in former

49 CFR part 1058, now redesignated as

49 CFR 390.401, 390.403, 390.405, and

390.407 (61 FR 54706, 54710, October

21, 1996).

The ICC Termination Act of 1995

(ICCTA) (Pub. L. 104–88, 109 Stat. 803)

was enacted on December 29, 1995, and

became effective on January 1, 1996.

The ICCTA abolished the ICC, amended

subtitle IV of title 49, United States

Code, reformed the economic regulation

of transportation, and transferred the

assets, personnel, and many of the

duties and functions of the ICC to the

Secretary of Transportation (Secretary).

On June 16, 1998, the FHWA

published a notice of proposed
