local, or tribal governments in the

aggregate; or to the private sector, of

$100 million or more. Under section

205, EPA must select the most costeffective and least burdensome

alternative that achieves the objectives

of the rule and is consistent with

statutory requirements. Section 203

requires 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 this

action 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. This

Federal action approves preexisting

requirements under State or local law,

and imposes no new requirements.

Accordingly, no additional costs to

State, local, or tribal governments, or to

the private sector, result from this

action.

VII. Submission to Congress and the

General Accounting Office

Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) as added

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 this rule in

today’s Federal Register. This rule is

not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5

U.S.C. 804(2).

VIII. Petitions for Judicial Review

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Act,

petitions for judicial review of this

action must be filed in the United States

Court of Appeals for the appropriate

circuit by December 9, 1997. Filing a

petition for reconsideration by the

Administrator of this final rule does not

affect the finality of this rule for the

purposes of judicial review nor does it

extend the time within which a petition

for judicial review may be filed, and

shall not postpone the effectiveness of

such rule or action. This action may not

be challenged later in proceedings to

enforce its requirements. See section

307(b)(2).

the Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act (RCRA). The document

stated that the effective date was

January 13, 1994. This was a

typographical error. The correct

effective date is January 13, 1995. This

document corrects that error.

This document is also correcting

typographical errors that were in the

crosswalk listings of the federal

requirements in the same immediate

final rule.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 206

Disaster Assistance; Hazard Mitigation

Grant Program

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice of waiver.

SUMMARY: This notice states FEMA’s

intent to streamline the Hazard

Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)

process by allowing States to use a onetime effort to apply statewide eligibility

criteria to the HMGP for all disasters

declared before April 7, 1997.

DATES: October 10, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert F. Shea, Mitigation Directorate,

Federal Emergency Management

Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington,

DC 20472, (202) 646–3619, (facsimile)

(202) 646–3104.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

past, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program

(HMGP) funds were only available in

counties designated as eligible by FEMA

for Individual Assistance (IA) or Public

Assistance (PA). Under the Stafford Act

both IA and PA funds address damage

or hardship resulting from the major

disaster, but HMGP funds are intended

to reduce the risk of future damage or

hardship. As a result, FEMA has

determined that the use of HMGP funds

should not be limited only to counties

designated as eligible for IA or PA

funds. In an effort to streamline the

HMGP, FEMA will automatically

designate all counties within the

declared State as eligible to receive

HMGP funds for all disasters declared

on or after April 7, 1997.

In addition, FEMA has determined

that States declared before this time

should be permitted to take advantage of

this policy. In order to ensure

consistency in the availability of HMGP

funds among all States with open

disasters, FEMA is temporarily waiving

its regulatory requirement at 44 CFR

206.40(d) that requires a State to request

additional areas for designation within

30 days of the incident or declaration.

Therefore, this notice makes public that

States have until November 10, 1997, to

submit to their FEMA Regional Office

the open disasters for which they are

requesting the designation of additional

counties. For every disaster for which a

State is amending the designated areas,

States will have until February 9, 1998,

or 18 months after the date of the

disaster declaration, whichever is later,

to submit HMGP project applications to

the Regional Office.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 76

[CS Docket No. 95–174; FCC 96–86]

Uniform Cable Price-Setting

Methodology

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of

effective date.

SUMMARY: The Commission’s

amendments to 47 CFR 76.922, which

contain information collection

requirements, became effective on

September 4, 1997. These amendments,

which were published in the Federal

Register on March 31, 1997, relate to

implementation of the rate regulation

provisions of the 1992 Cable Act.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendments to 47

CFR 76.922 published at 62 FR 15127

became effective on September 4, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rob

Fream, Cable Services Bureau, (202)

418–7200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. On March 14, 1997, the

Commission released a Report and

Order, a summary of which was

published in the Federal Register. See

62 FR 15121, March 31, 1997. The

Report and Order establishes rules for

an optional rate-setting methodology

that would enable a cable operator to

establish uniform rates for uniform

cable service tiers offered in multiple

franchise areas. Because the rules

imposed new information collection

requirements, the amendments to 47

CFR 76.922 could not become effective

until approved by the Office of

Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’), and

no sooner than April 30, 1997. OMB

approved these rule changes on

September 4, 1997.

2. The Federal Register summary

stated that the Commission would

publish a document announcing the

effective date of the rule changes

requiring OMB approval. The

amendments to 47 CFR 76.922 became

effective on September 4, 1997. This

publication satisfies the statement that

the Commission would publish a

document announcing the effective date

of the rule changes requiring OMB

approval.
