SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Interest Rates

The Small Business Administration

publishes an interest rate called the

optional ‘‘peg’’ rate (13 CFR 120.214) on

a quarterly basis. This rate is a weighted

average cost of money to the

government for maturities similar to the

average SBA direct loan. This rate may

be used as a base rate for guaranteed

fluctuating interest rate SBA loans. This

rate will be 67⁄8 percent for the July–

September quarter of FY 97.

Pursuant to 13 CFR 120.932, the

maximum legal interest rate for a

commercial loan which funds any

portion of the cost of a project (see 13

CFR 120.801) shall be the greater of 6%

over the New York prime rate of the

limitation established by the

constitution or laws of a given State.

The initial rate for a fixed rate loan shall

be the legal rate for the term of the loan.

Coast Guard

[CGD 97–040]

Annual Certification of Cook Inlet

Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Under the Oil Terminal and

Oil Tanker Environmental Oversight

and Monitoring Act of 1990, the Coast

Guard may certify, on an annual basis,

a voluntary advisory group instead of a

Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council for

Cook Inlet, Alaska. This certification

allows the advisory group to monitor

the activities of terminal facilities and

crude-oil tankers in Cook Inlet as

established by the statute. The purpose

of this notice is to inform the public that

the Coast Guard has recertified the

alternative voluntary advisory group for

Cook Inlet, Alaska.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 1997, through

June 30, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Mark Meza, Project Manager, Port and

Environmental Management Division

(G–MOR–1), (202) 267–0421, U.S. Coast

Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street

SW., Washington, DC 20593–0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress

passed, as part of the Oil Pollution Act

of 1990, the Oil Terminal and Oil

Tanker Environmental Oversight and

Monitoring Act of 1990 (the Act), 33

U.S.C. 2732, to foster the long-term

partnership among industry,

government, and local communities in

overseeing compliance with

environmental concerns in the

operation of terminal facilities and

crude-oil tankers.

Sub-section 2732(o) permits an

alternative voluntary advisory group to

represent the communities and interests

in the vicinity of the terminal facilities

in Cook Inlet, instead of a council of the

type specified in sub-section 2732(d), if

certain conditions are met. The Act

requires that the group enter into a

contract to ensure annual funding, and

that it receive annual certification by the

President to the effect that it fosters the

general goals and purposes of the Act

and is broadly representative of the

community and interests in the vicinity

of the terminal facilities. Accordingly,

in 1991, the President granted

certification to the Cook Inlet Regional

Citizens’ Advisory Council (CIRCAC).

He later delegated the authority to

certify alternative advisory groups to the

Commandant of the Coast Guard, who

redelegated it to the Assistant

Commandant for Marine Safety and

Environmental Protection.

On May 22, 1997, in the Federal

Register, the Coast Guard announced

the availability of the application for

recertification that it received from the

CIRCAC and requested comments (61

FR 19110). It received none. Since it

received no comments in opposition to

the continued operation of the CIRCAC,

the Coast Guard has determined that

recertification of the CIRCAC in

accordance with the Act is appropriate.

Recertification: By letter dated July 7,

1997, the Assistant Commandant for

Marine Safety and Environmental

Protection, certified that the CIRCAC

qualifies as an alternative voluntary

advisory group under 33 U.S.C. 2732(o).

This recertification terminates on May

31, 1998.

Dated: July 27, 1997.

R.C. North,

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant

Commandant for Marine Safety and

Environmental Protection.
