Secretary of Defense (OSD) exempts a

system of records, DFM&P 26, entitled

comments were received, therefore, the

rule is being adopted as published.

Executive Order 12866. It has been

determined that this Privacy Act rule for

the Department of Defense does not

constitute ‘significant regulatory action’.

Analysis of the rule indicates that it

does not have an annual effect on the

economy of $100 million or more; does

not create a serious inconsistency or

otherwise interfere with an action taken

or planned by another agency; does not

materially alter the budgetary impact of

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan

programs or the rights and obligations of

recipients thereof; does not raise novel

legal or policy issues arising out of legal

mandates, the President’s priorities, or

the principles set forth in Executive

Order 12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act. It has been

determined that this Privacy Act rule for

the Department of Defense does not

have significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

because it is concerned only with the

administration of Privacy Act systems of

records within the Department of

Defense.

Paperwork Reduction Act. It has been

determined that this Privacy Act rule for

the Department of Defense imposes no

information requirements beyond the

Department of Defense and that the

information collected within the

Department of Defense is necessary and

consistent with 5 U.S.C. 552a, known as

the Privacy Act, and 44 U.S.C. Chapter

35.

The proposed rule was published on

June 25, 1997, at 62 FR 34187. No

comments were received, therefore, the

rule is being adopted as published.

Protection Protocol

AGENCY: Coast Guard.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of

effective date.

SUMMARY: On April 14, 1997, the Coast

Guard published a direct final rule (62

FR 18043; CGD 97–015). This direct

final rule notified the public of the

Coast Guard’s intent to establish

regulations to implement the Antarctic

Science, Tourism, and Conservation Act

of 1996. These regulations should guide

U.S. owned and/or operated vessels to

properly prepare for voyages in the

Antarctic. They also harmonize U.S.

regulations with international

standards, and improve preparedness to

respond to a spill. The Coast Guard has

not received an adverse comment, or

notice of intent to submit an adverse

comment, objecting to this rule as

written. Therefore, this rule will go into

effect as scheduled.

DATES: The effective date of the direct

final rule is confirmed as September 30,

1997.
