Classifications; Iowa

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health

Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule as

final rule.

SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final

rule, without change, an interim rule

that amended the brucellosis regulations

concerning the interstate movement of

cattle by changing the classification of

Iowa from Class A to Class Free. We

have determined that Iowa meets the

standards for Class Free status. The

interim rule was necessary to relieve

certain restrictions on the interstate

movement of cattle from Iowa.

effective on July 14, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

In an interim rule effective July 14,

1997, and published in the Federal

Register on July 18, 1997 (62 FR 38443–

38445, Docket No. 97–036–1), we

amended the brucellosis regulations in

9 CFR part 78 by removing Iowa from

the list of Class A States in § 78.41(b)

and adding it to the list of Class Free

States in § 78.41(a).

Comments on the interim rule were

required to be received on or before

September 16, 1997. We did not receive

any comments. The facts presented in

the interim rule still provide a basis for

the rule.

This action also affirms the

information contained in the interim

rule concerning Executive Order 12866

and the Regulatory Flexibility Act,

Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and

the Paperwork Reduction Act.

Further, for this action, the Office of

Management and Budget has waived the

review process required by Executive

Order 12866.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

12 CFR Part 225

[Regulation Y; Docket Nos. R–0935; R–

0936]

Bank Holding Companies and Change

in Bank Control (Regulation Y);

Correction

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System.

ACTION: Final rule; correction to an

amendment.

SUMMARY: The Board is correcting an

error in the text of the comprehensive

amendments to Regulation Y (Bank

Holding Companies and Change in Bank

Control) that appeared in the Federal

Register on February 28, 1997. The

correction restores the time limit

required for Board action in processing

nonexpedited notices under section 4 of

the Bank Holding Company Act (BHC

Act) that was inadvertently deleted from

the text of the final rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 12, 1997.

3321), Legal Division, Board of

Governors of the Federal Reserve

System. For the hearing impaired only,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

February 19, 1997, the Board adopted

comprehensive amendments to

Regulation Y (Bank Holding Companies

and Change in Bank Control) to improve

the competitiveness of bank holding

companies by eliminating unnecessary

regulatory burden and operating

restrictions, and by streamlining the

application/notice process.1 In taking

this action, the Board stated in the

preamble that proposals that did not

qualify for expedited processing under

the new streamlined procedures would

be processed under the Board’s current

procedures.2 The procedures at that

time and the specific provisions of the

BHC Act, required action on any notice

considered by the Board to engage in

nonbanking activities under section 4 of

the Bank Holding Company Act (‘‘BHC

Act’’) within 60 calendar days after the

submission of a complete notice, and

the text of the amendments proposed for

public comment contained a provision

describing the time limit required for

Board action.3 This 60-day processing

schedule was included in the rule as

proposed in August 1996.

The final rule, however, inadvertently

omitted that provision. The correction

would restore the time-limit provision

as originally proposed, thereby

conforming the final rule to the Board’s

stated intent in the preamble and to the

specific provisions of the BHC Act. The

notice also changes certain crossreferences in light of this amendment.

The provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553

relating to notice, public participation,

and deferred effective date do not apply
