4562 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 24, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

under FFDCA section 408(d), such as 

the exemptions in this final rule, do not 

require the issuance of a proposed rule, 

the requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et 

seq.), do not apply. 

This action directly regulates growers, 

food processors, food handlers, and food 

retailers, not States or Tribes, nor does 

this action alter the relationships or 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities established by Congress 

in the preemption provisions of FFDCA 

section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency 

has determined that this action will not 

have a substantial direct effect on States 

or Tribal Governments, on the 

relationship between the National 

Government and the States or Tribal 

Governments, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government or between 

the Federal Government and Indian 

tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined 

that Executive Order 13132, entitled 

‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999) and Executive Order 13175, 

entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 

67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply 

to this action. In addition, this action 

does not impose any enforceable duty or 

contain any unfunded mandate as 

described under Title II of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 

1501 et seq.). 

This action does not involve any 

technical standards that would require 

Agency consideration of voluntary 

consensus standards pursuant to section 

12(d) of the National Technology 

Transfer and Advancement Act 

(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). 

VIII. Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), EPA will 

submit 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 United States prior to 

publication of the rule in the Federal 

Register. This action is not a ‘‘major 

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION 

45 CFR Part 1611 

Income Level for Individuals Eligible 

for Assistance 

AGENCY: Legal Services Corporation. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Legal Services 

Corporation (LSC) is required by law to 

establish maximum income levels for 

individuals eligible for legal assistance. 

This document updates the specified 

income levels to reflect the annual 

amendments to the Federal Poverty 

Guidelines issued by the U. S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

DATES: Effective January 24, 2024.

and Ethics Officer, Legal Services 

Corporation, 3333 K St. NW, 

Washington, DC 20007; (202) 295–1563;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1007(a)(2) of the Legal Services 

Corporation Act (Act), 42 U.S.C. 

2996f(a)(2), requires LSC to establish 

maximum income levels for individuals 

eligible for legal assistance. Section 

1611.3(c) of LSC’s regulations 

establishes a maximum income level 

equivalent to 125% of the Federal 

Poverty Guidelines (Guidelines), which 

HHS is responsible for updating and 

issuing. 45 CFR 1611.3(c). 

Each year, LSC updates appendix A to 

45 CFR part 1611 to provide client 

income eligibility standards based on 

the most recent Guidelines. The figures 

for 2024, set out below, are equivalent 

to 125% of the Guidelines published by 

HHS on January 12, 2024. 

In addition, LSC is publishing a chart 

listing income levels that are 200% of 

the Guidelines. This chart is for 

reference purposes only as an aid to 

recipients in assessing the financial 

eligibility of an applicant whose income 

is greater than 125% of the applicable 

Guidelines amount, but less than 200% 

of the applicable Guidelines amount 

(and who may be found to be financially 

eligible under duly adopted exceptions 

to the annual income ceiling in 

accordance with 45 CFR 1611.3, 1611.4, 

and 1611.5). 

Except where there are minor 

variances due to rounding, the amount 

by which the guideline increases for 

each additional member of the 

household is a consistent amount.

NASA Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement (NFS): Removal of Total 

Compensation Plan Language (NFS 

Case 2023–N002) 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NASA is finalizing 

amendments to the NASA Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement 

(NFS) as well as corresponding sections 

of the CFR to a solicitation provision 

and clause. 

DATES: Effective February 23, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

NASA proposed a rule in the Federal 

Register at 88 FR 67720 on October 2, 

2023, to amend the NFS by removing 

NFS 1831.205–671, Solicitation 

provision, and NFS 1852.231–71, 

Determination of Compensation 

Reasonableness, from the NFS. NASA 

has determined these provisions are 

unnecessary as they exceed the scope 

requirements adequately covered in 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

provision 52.222–46, Evaluation of 

Compensation for Professional 

Employees (48 CFR 52.222–46). 

Currently, NFS requires an evaluation 

for all labor categories and periodic 

review of total compensation plans after 

contract award for cost reimbursement 

contracts (at least every 3 years) to 

evaluate the reasonableness of 

compensation for all proposed labor 

categories in service contracts. 

NASA has made a determination to 

rely on FAR provision 52.222–46, 

agencywide templates, and instructions, 

to ensure consistency in the data 

provided to NASA and subsequent 

evaluations to ensure NASA continues 

to pay fair and reasonable wages. 

II. Discussion 

As no public comments were 

submitted on the proposed rule, NASA 

is finalizing this rule with no changes. 

III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 

13563 direct agencies to assess all costs 

and benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of
