Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 20 / Thursday, January 30, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 4465

At the same time EPA is providing 30

days for submission of public

comments. EPA will consider all written

comments submitted in the allotted time

period to determine if any change to this

rule is necessary.

V. Administrative Requirements

A. Paperwork Reduction Act

The information collection

requirements of the previously

promulgated NESHAP were submitted

to and approved by the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB). A copy

of this Information Collection Request

(ICR) document (OMB number 1611.02)

may be obtained from Sandy Farmer,

Information Policy Branch (PM–223Y);

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;

401 M Street, SW; Washington, DC

20460 or by calling (202) 260–2740.

Today’s changes to the NESHAP

should have no impact on the

information collection burden estimates

made previously. Today’s action merely

extends the date of compliance with the

MRR requirements in the rule for the

existing affected sources in California.

These changes do not impose new

requirements. Consequently, the ICR has

not been revised.

B. Executive Order 12866 Review

Under Executive Order 12866, the

EPA must determine whether the

proposed regulatory action is

‘‘significant’’ and therefore, subject to

OMB review and the requirements of

the executive order. The Order defines

‘‘significant’’ regulatory action as one

that is likely to lead to 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 in

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 Chrome Electroplating NESHAP

promulgated on January 25, 1995 was

determined by OMB to be a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ within the meaning

of the Executive Order. For this reason

OMB reviewed the final rule as

promulgated. However, today’s action

merely extends for certain sources the

compliance deadline for MRR

requirements. These changes do not add

any additional control requirements or

costs. Therefore, this regulatory action

does not affect the previous decision

and is not considered to be significant.

C. Submission to Congress and the

General Accounting Office

Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) of the

Administrative Procedures Act (APA),

as amended by the Small Business

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of

1996, EPA submitted a report containing

this rule and other required information

to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of

Representatives and the Comptroller

General of the General Accounting

Office prior to publication of the rule in

today’s Federal Register. This rule is

not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5

U.S.C. 804(2) of the APA, as amended.

D. Unfunded Mandates

Under Section 202 of the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995, the EPA

must prepare a budgetary impact

statement to accompany any proposed

or final rule that includes a Federal

mandate that may result in estimated

costs to State, local, or tribal

governments in the aggregate; or to the

private sector, of $100 million or more.

Under Section 205, the EPA must select

the least costly, most cost-effective or

least burdensome alternative that

achieves the objectives of the rule and

is consistent with statutory

requirements. Section 203 requires the

EPA to establish a plan for informing

and advising any small governments

that may be significantly or uniquely

impacted by the rule.

The EPA has determined that the

action promulgated today does not

include a Federal mandate that may

result in estimated costs of $100 million

or more to either State, local, or tribal

governments in the aggregate, or to the

private sector. Therefore, the

requirements of the Unfunded Mandates

Reform Act do not apply to this action.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 95–127; RM–8676; RM–

8726]

Radio Broadcasting Services;

Comobabi, Florence, Oracle, and San

Carlos, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document reallots

Channel 276C2 from San Carlos to

Florence, Arizona, as a Class C1

channel, and modifies the authorization

of Desert West Air Ranchers Corporation

for Station KCDX(FM) to specify

operation on Channel 276C1 at

Florence, pursuant to the provisions of

Section 1.420 (g) and (i) of the

Commission’s Rules, in response to a

counterproposal filed by Desert West

Air Ranchers (‘‘Desert West’’) (RM–

8726). See 60 FR 40146, August 7, 1995.

The allotment of Channel 276C1 to

Florence will provide that community

with its first local aural transmission

service, and enable Station KCDX(FM)

to expand its coverage area. Channel

292A is substituted for Channel 279A at
4466 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 20 / Thursday, January 30, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

Oracle, Arizona, to accommodate the

Florence allotment and modification,

and the license of Desert West for

Station KLQB(FM), Oracle, is modified

accordingly. Additionally, Channel

*275A is substituted for vacant Channel

*276A at Comobabi, Arizona, as

requested by Desert West. Although a

proposal to allot a second Class A

channel to Oro Valley, Arizona,

initiated this proceeding in response to

a petition filed by Rita Bonilla (RM–

8676), it will be addressed in the

context of a Second Report and Order,

pending concurrence of the Mexican

government thereto. Coordinates used

for Channel 276C1 at Florence, Arizona,

are 33–03–30 and 110–47–00;

coordinates used for Channel 292A at

Oracle, Arizona, are 32–37–07 and 110–

47–20; coordinates used for Channel

*275A at Comobabi, Arizona, are 32–

07–30 and 111–53–00. As Florence,

Oracle and Comobabi are located within

320 kilometers (199 miles) of the

Mexican border, the Commission

obtained concurrence of the Mexican

government to the allotment proposals

at each of those communities. With this

action, the proceeding is terminated

with regard to RM–8726.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 10, 1997.

SPACE ADMINISTRATION

48 CFR Parts 1805, 1815, 1831, 1834,

Rewrite of the NASA FAR Supplement

(NFS)

AGENCY: Office of Procurement, National

Aeronautics and Space Administration

(NASA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: As part of the National

Performance Review initiative to

streamline and clarify regulations,

NASA is revising its regulations in 48

CFR part 1834, Major System

Acquisitions; part 1835, Research and

Development Contracting; part 1836,

Construction and Architect-Engineer

Contracts; part 1837, Service

Contracting; part 1839, Acquisition of

Information Technology; and part 1841,

Acquisition of Utility Services. This rule

also adds a new part 1872 on

Acquisitions of Investigations and

amends part 1815, Contracting by

Negotiation, to reflect these other

regulatory changes.

This rule restores some sections in

part 1831, Contract Cost Principles and

Procedures, and in part 1852,

Solicitation Provisions and Contract

Clauses, that were inadvertently

removed in a final rule published

October 28, 1996 (61 FR 55753).

This rule amends part 1871, Midrange

Procurement Procedures, in order to

conform its provisions to those of

recently established FAR regulations on

a test program for certain commercial

items. Also in this rule, the numbering

of regulatory sections has been changed

to indicate the exact section of the FAR

being implemented or supplemented.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 30, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The National Performance Review

urged agencies to streamline and clarify

their regulations. The NFS rewrite

initiative was established to pursue

these goals by conducting a section by

section review of the NFS to verify its

accuracy, relevancy, and validity. The

NFS will be rewritten in blocks of parts

and issued through Procurement

Notices (PNs). Upon completion of all

parts, the NFS will be reissued in a new

edition.

Impact

NASA certifies that this regulation

will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). This rule does

not impose any reporting or record

keeping requirements subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act.
