a minimum of two hours between bridge 

closures for the passage of marine 

traffic. In the event of bridge operational 

failure, the bridge owner or operator 

shall notify the Coast Guard Captain of 

the Port, New York immediately and 

shall ensure that a repair crew is on 

scene at the bridge no later than 45 

minutes after the bridge fails, and 

remains until the bridge has been 

restored to normal operations or raised 

and locked in the fully open position. 

This deviation from the operating

38 CFR Part 4 

RIN 2900–AM60 

Schedule for Rating Disabilities; 

Appendices A, B, and C 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) is revising its Schedule for 

Rating Disabilities, Appendices A, B, 

and C to include all current diagnostic 

codes. Appendix A is also amended to 

include all the diagnostic code 

historical information since the last 

review. 

DATES: Effective Date: This amendment 

is effective April 19, 2007.

20420, (202) 273–7210. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Schedule for Rating Disabilities, 38 CFR 

Part 4, Appendices A, B, and C have not 

been updated since July 1, 1988. These 

Appendices are tools for users of the 

Schedule for Rating Disabilities. The 

Appendices reflect changes to the 

diagnostic criteria in the Schedule for 

Rating Disabilities. 

We have amended the Appendices to 

add changes to the Schedule for Rating 

Disabilities since the Appendices were 

last updated. Additionally, we removed 

language in Appendix A that showed 

when a diagnostic code was updated to 

correct spelling, revise text, or other 

additional changes, which had no 

impact on the disability code. Those 

changes were incorporated within the 

text when amended. All diagnostic 

codes in Appendix A will now be 

categorized by when they were added, 

removed, whether the criterion was 

amended, and whether the disability 

evaluation was amended. We will 

continue to include the date for 

historical purposes. We revised 

Appendices B and C to provide the 

current diagnostic codes and disability 

terminology. We will continue to update 

the Appendices as the Schedule for 

Rating Disabilities is revised. 

Administrative Procedures Act 

This final rule merely replaces 

inaccurate examples and does not alter 

the content of the regulations. 

Accordingly, there is a basis for 

dispensing with prior notice and 

comment and the delayed effective date 

provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This document contains no provisions 

constituting a collection of information 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3521). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Secretary hereby certifies that 

this final rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities as they are 

defined in the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612. This final rule 

would not affect any small entities. 

Only VA beneficiaries could be directly 

affected. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

605(b), this final rule is exempt from the 

initial and final regulatory flexibility 

analysis requirements of sections 603 

and 604. 

Executive Order 12866 

Executive Order 12866 directs 

agencies to assess all costs and benefits 

of available regulatory alternatives and, 

when regulation is necessary, to select 

regulatory approaches that maximize 

net benefits (including potential 

economic, environmental, public health 

and safety, and other advantages; 

distributive impacts; and equity). The 

Executive Order classifies a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action,’’ requiring review by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) unless OMB waives such review, 

as any regulatory action that is likely to 

result in a rule that may: (1) Have an 

annual effect on the economy of $100 

million or more or adversely affect in a 

material way the economy, a sector of 

the economy, productivity, competition, 

jobs, the environment, public health or 

safety, or State, local, or tribal 

governments or communities; (2) Create 

a serious inconsistency or otherwise 

interfere with an action taken or 

planned by another agency; (3) 

Materially alter the budgetary impact of 

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 

programs or the rights and obligations of 

recipients thereof; or (4) Raise novel 

legal or policy issues arising out of legal 

mandates, the President’s priorities, or 

the principles set forth in the Executive 

Order. 

The economic, interagency, 

budgetary, legal, and policy 

implications of this final rule have been 

examined and it has been determined 

not to be a significant regulatory action 

under Executive Order 12866. 

Unfunded Mandates 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that 

agencies prepare an assessment of 

anticipated costs and benefits before 

issuing any rule that may result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

(adjusted annually for inflation) in any 

year. This final rule would have no such 

effect on State, local, and tribal 

governments, or on the private sector. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

Numbers and Titles 

The Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance program numbers and titles 

for this final are 64.104, Pension for

Standards of Performance for New 

Stationary Sources and Emission 

Guidelines for Existing Sources: Large 

Municipal Waste Combustors 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of reconsideration of 

final rule. 

SUMMARY: On May 10, 2006, EPA 

published a final rule entitled, 

‘‘Standards of Performance for New 

Stationary Sources and Emission 

Guidelines for Existing Sources: Large 

Municipal Waste Combustors.’’

Following that final action, the 

Administrator received a petition for 

reconsideration. In response to the 

petition, EPA is announcing its 

reconsideration of three aspects of the 

rule: operator stand-in provisions, data 

requirements for continuous monitors, 

and the status of operating parameters 

during the 2 weeks prior to mercury and 

dioxin/furan testing. 

DATES: Comments. Comments must be 

received on or before April 19, 2007. 

Because of the need to resolve the issues 

raised in this action in a timely manner, 

EPA will not grant requests for 

extensions beyond this date. If, 

however, a public hearing is held, the 

comment period will remain open until 

May 4, 2007. 

Public Hearing. If anyone contacts 

EPA by March 27, 2007 requesting to 

speak at a public hearing, EPA will hold 

a public hearing on April 4, 2007. If you 

are interested in attending the public 

hearing, contact Pamela Garrett at (919) 

541–7966 to verify that a hearing will be 

held.

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through http://

to EPA without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. 

Public Hearing. If a public hearing is 

requested, it will be held at EPA’s 

Campus located at 109 T.W. Alexander
