Budget (OMB) for review and approval 

information collection requirements 

imposed on ‘‘persons’’ as defined in the 

PRA. Section 503(c) of the IAA exempts 

from the PRA information collection 

‘‘for purposes of sections 104, 202(b)(4), 

and 303(d)’’ of the IAA ‘‘or for use as a 

Convention record as defined’’ in the 

IAA. All information collections that 

relate to outgoing non-Convention cases 

will be collections made for the 

purposes of section 303(d) of the IAA, 

and thereby are exempt. All information 

collections that relate to outgoing 

Convention cases will be Convention 

records as defined in and subject to the 

preservation requirements of 22 CFR 

part 98, which implements section 

401(a) of the IAA. Additionally, the 

majority of information collection 

imposed on persons pursuant to this 

rule, with respect to both Convention 

and non-Convention cases, will be for 

the purposes of obtaining information 

for congressional reports required under 

section 104 of the IAA. Accordingly, the 

Department has concluded that the PRA 

does not apply to information collected 

from the public under this rule. 

List of Subjects in 22 CFR Part 99 

Adoption and foster care; 

International agreements; Reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements. 

■ Accordingly, the Department adds 

new part 99 to title 22 of the CFR, 

chapter I, subchapter J, to read as 

follows: 

PART 99—REPORTING ON 

CONVENTION AND NON-CONVENTION 

ADOPTIONS OF EMIGRATING 

CHILDREN 

Sec. 

99.1 Definitions. 

99.2 Reporting requirements for adoption 

cases involving children emigrating from 

the United States. 

99.3 [Reserved]. 

Authority: The Convention on Protection 

of Children and Co-operation in Respect of 

Intercountry Adoption (done at The Hague, 

May 29, 1993), S. Treaty Doc. 105–51 (1998); 

1870 U.N.T.S. 167 (Reg. No. 31922 (1993)); 

The Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000, 42 

U.S.C. 14901–14954. 

§ 99.1 Definitions. 

As used in this part, the term: 

(a) Convention means the Convention 

on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry 

Adoption done at The Hague on May 29, 

1993. 

(b) Such other terms as are defined in 

22 CFR 96.2 shall have the meaning 

given to them therein. 

§ 99.2 Reporting requirements for 

adoption cases involving children 

emigrating from the United States. 

(a) Once the Convention has entered 

into force for the United States, an 

agency (including an accredited agency 

and temporarily accredited agency), 

person (including an approved person), 

public domestic authority, or other 

adoption service provider providing 

adoption services in a case involving the 

emigration of a child from the United 

States must report information to the 

Secretary in accordance with this 

section if it is identified as the reporting 

provider in accordance with paragraph 

(b) of this section. 

(b) In a Convention case in which an 

accredited agency, temporarily 

accredited agency, or approved person 

is providing adoption services, the 

primary provider is the reporting 

provider. In any other Convention case, 

or in a non-Convention case, the 

reporting provider is the agency, person, 

public domestic authority, or other 

adoption service provider that is 

providing adoption services in the case, 

if it is the only provider of adoption 

services. If there is more than one 

provider of adoption services in a nonConvention case, the reporting provider 

is the one that has child placement 

responsibility, as evidenced by the 

following factors: 

(1) Entering into placement contracts 

with prospective adoptive parent(s) to 

provide child referral and placement; 

(2) Accepting custody from a 

birthparent or other legal guardian for 

the purpose of placement for adoption; 

(3) Assuming responsibility for liaison 

with a foreign government or its 

designees with regard to arranging an 

adoption; or 

(4) Receiving information from, or 

sending information to a foreign country 

about a child that is under consideration 

for adoption. 

(c) A reporting provider, as identified 

in paragraph (b) of this section, must 

report the following identifying 

information to the Secretary for each 

outgoing case within 30 days of learning 

that the case involves emigration of a 

child from the United States to a foreign 

country: 

(1) Name, date of birth of child, and 

place of birth of child; 

(2) The U.S. State from which the 

child is emigrating; 

(3) The country to which the child is 

immigrating; 

(4) The U.S. State where the final 

adoption is taking place, or the U.S. 

State where legal custody for the 

purpose of adoption is being granted 

and the country where the final 

adoption is taking place; and 

(5) Its name, address, phone number, 

and other contact information. 

(d) A reporting provider, as identified 

in paragraph (b) of this section, must 

report any changes to information 

previously provided as well as the 

following milestone information to the 

Secretary for each outgoing case within 

30 days of occurrence: 

(1) Date case determined to involve 

emigration from the United States 

(generally the time the child is matched 

with adoptive parents); 

(2) Date of U.S. final adoption or date 

on which custody for the purpose of 

adoption was granted in United States; 

(3) Date of foreign final adoption if 

custody for purpose of adoption was 

granted in the United States, to the 

extent practicable; and 

(4) Any additional information when 

requested by the Secretary in a 

particular case.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation 

from regulations. 

SUMMARY: The Commander, Eleventh 

Coast Guard District, has issued a 

temporary deviation from the regulation 

governing the operation of the Isleton 

Drawbridge across the Sacramento 

River, mile 18.7, at Isleton, CA. This

openings. The deviation is necessary for 

the bridge owner, the California 

Department of Transportation (Caltrans), 

to coordinate vessel traffic with their 

scheduled critical maintenance and 

operating upgrades.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Caltrans 

requested a temporary change to the 

operation of the Isleton Drawbridge, 

mile 18.7, Sacramento River, at Isleton, 

CA. The Isleton Drawbridge navigation 

span provides a vertical clearance of 13 

feet above Mean High Water in the 

closed-to-navigation position. The draw 

opens on signal between 6 a.m. and 10 

p.m. from May 1 through October 31, 

and between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. from 

November 1 through April 30. At all 

other times, it opens on signal if at least 

four hours notice is given as required by 

33 CFR 117.189. Navigation on the 

waterway is recreational, search and 

rescue and commercial traffic hauling 

materials for levee repair. Caltrans 

requested a change to the 12-hour notice 

for openings from 12:01 a.m. on April 

21, 2007 through 11:59 p.m. on May 25, 

2007. During this time the control house 

will be replaced, motors refurbished, 

and operating machinery will be 

upgraded, resulting in manual control of 

the drawspan. This temporary deviation 

has been coordinated with waterway 

users. No objections to the proposed 

temporary rule were raised. Vessels that 

can transit the bridge while in the 

closed-to-navigation position may 

continue to do so at any time. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c), 

this work will be performed with all due 

speed in order to return the bridge to 

normal operation as soon as possible. 

This deviation from the operating 

regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 

117.35.

Parts and Accessories Necessary for 

Safe Operation: Surge Brake 

Requirements 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA amends the Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Regulations to 

allow the use of automatic hydraulic 

inertia brake systems (surge brakes) on 

trailers when the ratios of gross vehicle 

weight ratings (GVWR) for the towingvehicle and trailer are within certain 

limits. A surge brake is a self-contained 

permanently closed hydraulic brake 

system activated in response to the 

braking action of the towing vehicle. 

The amount of braking force developed 

by the trailer surge-brake system is 

proportional to the ratio of the towing 

vehicle to trailer weight and 

deceleration rate of the towing vehicle. 

This action is in response to a petition 

for rulemaking from the Surge Brake 

Coalition (Coalition).
