encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of 

today’s Federal Register, we are 

publishing a direct final Notice of 

Deletion of the Columbus Old

in the preamble to the direct final 

Notice of Deletion, and those reasons 

are incorporated herein. If we receive no 

adverse comment(s) on this deletion 

action, we will not take further action 

on this Notice of Intent to Delete. If we 

receive adverse comment(s), we will 

withdraw the direct final Notice of 

Deletion, and it will not take effect. We 

will, as appropriate, address all public 

comments in a subsequent final Notice 

of Deletion based on this Notice of 

Intent to Delete. We will not institute a 

second comment period on this Notice 

of Intent to Delete. Any parties 

interested in commenting must do so at 

this time.
