Florida Keys National Marine

Sanctuary Final Regulations

AGENCY: Office of Ocean and Coastal

Resource Management (OCRM),

National Ocean Service (NOS), National

Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration (NOAA), Department of

Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This document sets forth the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) control number for the collection

of information requirements in the

Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary

final regulations. Although the

collection of information requirements

for the Sanctuary regulations had been

approved by OMB when these

regulations were issued, the OMB

control number was inadvertently

omitted from the Federal Register

documents issuing the final regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the Florida Keys National Marine

Sanctuary and Protection Act and the

National Marine Sanctuaries Act, NOAA

developed a comprehensive final

management plan and implementing

regulations for the Florida Keys

National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS or

the Sanctuary). NOAA issued final

regulations to implement that plan and

govern the conduct of activities within

the Sanctuary on January 30, 1997 (62

FR 4578). These regulations were

modified on June 12, 1997 (62 FR

32154). The January 30, 1997, Federal

Register document contained, under ‘‘V

Miscellaneous Rulemaking

Requirements’’, a discussion of the

Paperwork Reduction Act, and

indicated that the collection of

information requirements contained in

the final rule was approved by OMB (62

FR 4578, 4606). However, the OMB

control number was inadvertently

omitted. The collection of information

requirements contained in the final

Sanctuary regulations had been

approved under OMB control number

0648–0141.

The final rule published on January

30, 1997 (62 FR 4578), Docket Number

97–1870, is corrected by adding the

following sentence to page 4606,

column 2, under the heading

‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act’’, at the end

of the second paragraph:

The collection of information

requirements has been approved under

OMB control number 0648–0141.

Dated: August 14, 1997.

Nancy Foster,

Assistant Administrator for Ocean Services

and Coastal Zone Management.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

20 CFR Parts 222 and 229

RIN 3220–AB28

Family Relationships; Social Security

Overall Minimum Guarantee

AGENCY: Railroad Retirement Board.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: In accord with amendments

to the Social Security Act made by

section 104 of Public Law 104–121, the

Railroad Retirement Board hereby

amends its regulations to eliminate the

‘‘living with’’ requirement as an

alternative to actual dependency as a

basis for eligibility for an annuity as the

stepchild of a railroad employee, and to

provide for termination of the inclusion

of a stepchild in the computation of the

social security overall minimum

guarantee provision when the

stepparent’s marriage to the natural

parent is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule will become

effective October 8, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Secretary to the Board,

Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North

Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Michael C. Litt, General Attorney,

Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North

Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611,

telephone (312) 751–4929, TTD (312)

751–4701.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

2(d)(4) of the Railroad Retirement Act

provides in pertinent part that a child is

deemed dependent if the conditions set

forth in sections 202(d)(3),(4), and (9) of

the Social Security Act are met. Since

section 202(d)(4), as amended by Public

Law 104–121, requires as a condition of

dependency that the child have received

one-half his or her support from the

stepparent, and eliminates the

alternative of the child having lived

with the stepparent as a means of

establishing dependency, this change in

the definition of dependency in regard

to stepchildren applies to benefits paid

under the Railroad Retirement Act.

Specifically, it will impact upon the

entitlement of a spouse or survivor of an

employee whose entitlement is based

upon having a stepchild of the

employee in care, or on an individual

seeking a child’s annuity as a stepchild

of an employee. In these instances,

actual dependency on the employee will

have to be established for purposes of

entitlement. The amendment is effective

with respect to the benefits of

individuals who become entitled to

benefits for July 1996 and later.

The change will also affect the

inclusion of auxiliary beneficiaries in

the computation of the employee

annuity under the social security overall

minimum guarantee provision of the

Railroad Retirement Act. The social

security overall minimum guarantee

provision guarantees that a railroad

retirement annuitant will receive, in

combined benefits under the Railroad

Retirement and Social Security Acts, not

less than the amount which would have

been paid to the employee and members

of his family under the Social Security

Act if the employee’s railroad service

had been creditable under that Act.

Public Law 104–121 also amends

section 202(d)(1) of the Social Security

Act to provide that a child’s benefits

based on the earnings record of a

stepparent will terminate the month

after the month in which the stepparent

and the natural parent are divorced. The
