SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. On December 23, 1996, the

Commission adopted an order revising

its rate regulation rules, a summary of

which was published in the Federal

Register. See 62 FR 6491, February 12,

1997. The Commission’s rule changes

that did not impose new or modified

information collection requirements

became effective March 14, 1997.

However, because they imposed new or

modified information collection

requirements, the amendments to 47

CFR 76.922 and 76.913 could not

become effective until approved by the

Office of Management and Budget

(‘‘OMB’’), and no sooner than March 14,

1997. OMB approved these rule changes

on August 13, 1997.

2. The Federal Register summary

stated that the Commission would

publish a document establishing the

effective date of the rule changes

requiring OMB approval. The

amendments to 47 CFR 76.922 and

76.913 became effective on August 13,

1997. This publication satisfies the

statement that the Commission would

publish a document establishing the

effective date of the rule changes

requiring OMB approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 2,

1997, RSPA published in the Federal

Register a direct final rule adding a new

paragraph 49 CFR 171.14(c)(2) to the

HMR (49 CFR Parts 171–180) providing

as follows:

(2) A non-specification fiber drum

with a removable head authorized by

paragraph (c)(1) of this section may be

offered for transportation and

transported domestically prior to

October 1, 1999, if it—

(i) Was filled with an authorized

hazardous material prior to the

expiration of the authority in paragraph

(c)(1) of this section; and

(ii) Is not emptied and refilled after

the expiration of the authority in

paragraph (c)(1) of this section. 62 FR

29676. The reason and basis for the

direct final rule were set forth in the

preamble.

RSPA stated that this direct final rule

would become effective on October 1,

1997, unless an adverse comment or

notice of intent to file an adverse

comment was received by August 1,

1997. RSPA also stated that it would

publish in the Federal Register a timely

document confirming the effective date

of this direct final rule. 62 FR 29673.

This document confirms that, because

no adverse comment or notice of intent

to file an adverse comment was received

by August 1, 1997, the effective date of

the June 2, 1997 direct final rule is

October 1, 1997.
