SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Order 

(7 CFR part 1260) is authorized under 

the Beef Promotion and Research Act of 

1985 (Act) (7 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.). This 

program is a national beef program for 

beef and beef product promotion, 

research, consumer information, and 

industry information as part of a 

comprehensive strategy to strengthen 

the beef industry’s position in the 

marketplace by maintaining and 

expanding existing domestic and foreign 

markets and by developing new markets 

for beef and beef products. The program 

is funded by a mandatory assessment of 

$1-per-head, collected each time cattle 

are sold. All producers owning and 

marketing cattle, regardless of the size of 

their operation or the value of their 

cattle, must pay the assessment. A 

comparable assessment is collected on 

all imported cattle, beef, and beef 

products. Assessments collected under 

this program are used for promotion, 

research, consumer information, and 

industry information. 

The national program is administered 

by the Cattlemen’s Beef Board (Board), 

which has 104 producer and importer 

members. Board members serve 3-year 

terms, but no individual may serve more 

than two consecutive 3-year terms. 

Producer members represent 35 States 

and 4 geographic units. The program 

became effective on July 18, 1986, when 

the Order was issued. Assessments 

began on October 1, 1986. 

On February 18, 1999, AMS 

published in the Federal Register (64 

FR 8014) its plan to review certain 

regulations. On January 4, 2002, AMS 

published in the Federal Register (67 

FR 525) an update to its plan to review 

regulations, including the Cattlemen’s 

Beef Promotion and Research Program, 

which is conducted under the Order, 

under criteria contained in section 610 

of the RFA (5 U.S.C. 601–612). Because 

many AMS regulations impact small 

entities, AMS decided, as a matter of 

policy, to review certain regulations 

that, although may not meet the 

threshold requirement under section 

610 of the RFA, warrant review. 

Accordingly, this notice and request for 

comments is made for the Order. 

The purpose of the review is to 

determine whether the Order should 

continue without change or whether it 

should be amended or rescinded 

(consistent with the objectives of the 

Act) to minimize the impact on small 

entities. AMS will consider the 

following factors: (1) The continued 

need for the Order; (2) The nature of 

complaints or comments received from 

the public concerning the Order; (3) the 

complexity of the Order; (4) the extent 

to which the Order overlaps, duplicates, 

or conflicts with other Federal rules, 

and, to the extent feasible, with State 

and local governmental rules; and (5) 

the length of time since the Order has 

been evaluated or the degree to which 

technology, economic conditions, or 

other factors have changed in the area 

affected by the Order. 

Written comments, views, opinions, 

and other information regarding the 

Order’s impact on small businesses are 

invited. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2901–2918.

Modification 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and

Energy (DOE or Department). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy 

proposed to amend the Replacement 

Fuel Goal provided under the Energy 

Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct 1992), Public 

Law 102–486. 71 FR 54771 (September 

19, 2006). The purpose of the proposed 

amendment is to revise the goal to a 

level which is achievable, in accordance 

with requirements under section 504 of 

EPAct 1992. 

Due to technical difficulties in 

receiving the electronic comments on 

the proposed rule for the Replacement 

Fuel Goal, the comment period, which 

originally ended on November 3, 2006, 

is reopened and comments will be 

accepted until January 31, 2007, to 

ensure that all comments submitted 

during the original comment period are 

entered in the docket. All comments 

already received by DOE have been 

posted in the written comments section 

of the electronic docket at http:// 

www1.eere.energy.gov/vehiclesandfuels/ 

epact/private/plg_docket.html. If 

comments were previously submitted 

but are not posted in this location, the 

comments should be resubmitted to 

DOE prior to the new deadline. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

proposed rule published on September 

19, 2006 which ended on November 3, 

2006 is reopened and extended to 

January 31, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by the number RIN 1904–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

proposed rule published September 19, 

2006, DOE proposed to modify the 2010 

goal of 30 percent of U.S. motor fuel 

production to be supplied by 

replacement fuels, established in section 

502(b)(2) of the Energy Policy Act of 

1992, because it is not achievable. 71 FR 

54771. The Department has authority to 

review the goal and to modify it, by 

rule, if it is not achievable, and in doing 

so may change the percentage level for 

the goal and/or the timeframe for 

achievement of the goal. (42 U.S.C. 

13254(b).) The Department has 

preliminarily determined through its 

analysis that the 30 percent replacement 

fuel production goal could potentially 

be met, not by 2010, but at a later date. 

The Department consequently is 

proposing to keep the replacement fuel 

goal of 30 percent originally provided in 

EPAct 1992 (section 502(b)(2)), but 

extend the date for achieving the goal to 

2030. 

Due to technical difficulties in 

receiving the electronic comments on 

the proposed rule, the comment period 

is reopened until January 31, 2007. 

During the original comment period,

some comments were not accepted by

However, to ensure that all comments

electronically during the original 

comment period, and that comment is 

not posted on the electronic docket 

(http://www1.eere.energy.gov/

be resubmitted as directed under the

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR Part 71), which 

would modify Class E airspace at 

Valdez, AK. The intended effect of this 

proposal is to modify the Class E 

airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 

ft. above the surface to contain 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at Valdez Airport, in Valdez, AK. 

The FAA Instrument Flight 

Procedures Production and 

Maintenance Branch has drafted two 

new SIAPs for the Valdez Airport. The 

approaches are (1) Localizer Type 

Directional Aid (LDA)/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (DME)–G, 

Original and (2) LDA–H, Original. The 

LDA–G is a Special procedure and will 

not be published in the U.S. Terminal 

Procedures (Alaska) publication. 

Revised Class E controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 ft. and 

1,200 ft. above the surface within the 

Valdez Airport area would be 

established by this action. The proposed 

airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft 

executing the new and existing 

instrument procedures at the Valdez 

Airport. 

The area would be depicted on 

aeronautical charts for pilot reference. 

The coordinates for this airspace docket 

are based on North American Datum 83. 

The Class E airspace areas designated as 

700/1200 foot transition areas are 

published in paragraph 6005 in FAA 

Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated September 

1, 2006, and effective September 15, 

2006, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 

airspace designations listed in this
