SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

As published, the final rule contains

errors which may prove to be

misleading and are in need of

clarification. In particular, the statement

of availability that is being removed

from § 582.340(a)(1) essentially repeats

the statement of availability that is in

the footnote to § 582.340(a).

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, FR Doc. 96–24875, a

final rule published on September 30,

1996 (61 FR 51168) that amended 24

CFR part 582, is corrected as follows:

§ 582.5 [Corrected]

1. On page 51169, in the third

column, in § 582.5, paragraph (3) of the

defined term ‘‘Person with disabilities’’

is corrected by adding the character ‘‘)’’

at the end of the paragraph.

§ 582.310 [Corrected]

2. On page 51171, in the first column,

in § 582.310, paragraph (a), the citation

‘‘(42 U.S.C. 1437a(3)(1))’’ is corrected to

read ‘‘(42 U.S.C. 1437a(a)(1))’’.

§ 582.340 [Corrected]

3. On page 51171, in the third

column, in § 582.340, paragraph (a)(1) is

corrected by removing the last sentence,

which reads ‘‘(OMB Circulars are

available from the Executive Office of

the President, Publication Service, 725

17th Street, NW., Suite G–2200,

Washington, DC 20503, Telephone 202–

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

34 CFR Part 682

RINS 1840–AC35, 1840–AC33

Federal Family Education Loan

Program

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Final Regulations.

SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the

regulations governing the Federal

Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program

to add the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) control number to certain

sections of the regulations. These

sections contain information collection

requirements approved by OMB. Under

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

no persons are required to respond to a

collection of information unless it

displays a valid OMB control number.

The Secretary takes this action to inform

the public that these requirements have

been approved and affected parties must

comply with them.

EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations are

effective on July 1, 1997.

Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–

p.m., Eastern time, Monday through

Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Final

regulations for the FFEL Program

entitled Due Diligence Requirements (61

FR 60478) and Guaranty AgenciesConflicts of Interest (61 FR 60426) were

published in the Federal Register on

November 27, 1996. Compliance with

information collection requirements in

certain sections of these regulations was

delayed until those requirements were

approved by OMB under the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995. OMB approved

the information collection requirements

in the regulations on January 17, 1997.

The information collection requirements

in these regulations will, therefore,

become effective with all of the other

provisions of the regulations on July 1,

1997.

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

It is the practice of the Secretary to

offer interested parties the opportunity

to comment on proposed regulations.

However, the publication of OMB

control numbers is purely technical and

does not establish substantive policy.

Therefore, the Secretary has determined

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that public

comment on the regulations is

unnecessary and contrary to the public

interest.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Forest Service

36 CFR Part 200

Organization, Functions, and

Procedures; Information Availability

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; technical

amendment.

SUMMARY: This technical amendment

streamlines the rules for obtaining

information from the Forest Service by

combining related sections into a single

rule and by making editorial changes to

clarify the procedures by which the

public may obtain agency information.

The need for this revision became

apparent when the agency reviewed its

regulations as part of the President’s

Regulatory Reinvention Initiative. The

intended effect is to make the rule easier

to use and understand.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective

March 21, 1997.

Information Act Staff, telephone: (703)

13540 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 55 / Friday, March 21, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Current

regulations at § 200.5, § 200.7, § 200.8,

and § 200.9 of Title 36 of the Code of

Federal Regulations provide guidance

for locating, inspecting, and copying

Forest Service information. As part of

the President’s Regulatory Reinvention

Initiative, an agency review team

determined that these four small

regulations could be combined to

provide one streamlined regulation for

viewing and obtaining information. In

addition, minor revisions have been

made to clarify longstanding procedures

for requesting information and for

clarifying when fees are assessed for

copies of records and agency

publications. As a result of combining

these rules, sections 200.10 and 200.11

will be redesignated as §§ 200.7 and

200.8 respectively. No substantive

changes have been made to the agency’s

policies on access to information.

List of Subjects in 36 CFR Part 200

Administrative practice and

procedure, Freedom of information,

Organization and functions

(Government agencies).

Therefore, for the reasons set forth in

the preamble, Part 200 of Title 36 of the

Code of Federal Regulations is hereby

amended as follows:

PART 200—[AMENDED]

1. The authority citation for Part 200

is revised to read as follows:

Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552; 16 U.S.C. 472,

551, and 1603.

2. In part 200, §§ 200.6 and 200.5 are

redesignated as §§ 200.5 and 200.6,

respectively, and newly designated

§ 200.6 is revised to read as follows:

§ 200.6 Information available; inspection,

copying, and charges.

(a) In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a)

and 7 CFR 1.2, the Forest Service shall

make available for public inspection

and copying all published or

unpublished directives, forms, records,

and final opinions, including

concurring or dissenting opinions and

orders made in the adjudication of

cases. Charges for information requested

from the Forest Service are set out in

paragraph (d) of this section and vary

according to the type of information

requested.

(b) Information made available

pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section

may be obtained at the Office of the

Chief, or the office of any Regional

Forester, Research Station Director, Area

Director, Institute Director, Forest

Supervisor, or District Ranger. The

addresses of these offices are set forth in

§§ 200.1 and 200.2. Forest Service

personnel at these offices will assist

members of the public seeking Forest

Service records. However, Research

Station and Institute Directors and

District Rangers may not have all

volumes of the Forest Service Manual

and Handbooks. When the information

requested is not available at a given

location, the personnel where the

request is received will direct the

requester to another office where the

information may be obtained.

(c) Inspection and copying availability

is as follows:

(1) Facilities for inspection and

copying are available at the offices listed

in §§ 200.1 and 200.2, during

established office hours for the

particular location, usually 8 a.m. to 5

p.m., Monday through Friday. Copying

facilities may not be available at all

Forest Service offices.

(2) Requesters for information may

make copies of available information

without charge if they elect to bring

their own copy equipment to the

appropriate offices listed in §§ 200.1

and 200.2.

(3) Requesters should make prior

arrangements for using agency copying

facilities or for bringing in copying

equipment and, in the later case, should

get advance approval from the office.

(d) Any request for information

pursuant to the provisions of the

Freedom of Information Act must be

submitted in accordance with §§ 200.7

and 200.8. The Forest Service charges a

fee for copies of records not generally

made available to the public but

released pursuant to a FOIA request in

accordance with a schedule of fees

established by the Department of

Agriculture at 7 CFR Part 1, Subpart A,

Appendix A. These fees do not apply to

information that is generally and

routinely made available to the public

upon request, such as recreational

brochures, pamphlets, maps, and

technical guides as well as agency

directive issuances. Separate charges for

such general information are established

in the agency’s Directive System

(§ 200.4). For example, some pamphlets

and small segments of the Forest Service

Manual and Handbook may be provided

at no cost, but maps of the National

Forest System and larger sections of the

Manual and Handbook are available for

a charge. Current charges are explained

at the time the request is made.

§§ 200.7, 200.8, and 200.9 [Removed]

§§ 200.10 and 200.11 [Redesignated as

§§ 200.7 and 200.8]

3. Remove §§ 200.7 through 200.9 and

redesignate §§ 200.10 and 200.11 as

§§ 200.7 and 200.8, respectively.

[FRL–5800–1]

Arizona: Final Authorization of State

Hazardous Waste Management

Program Revisions; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Immediate final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency published in the Federal

Register of March 7, 1997, the

authorization of Arizona’s Hazardous

Waste Management Program Revisions

under the Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act (RCRA). The heading in

that published version stated ‘‘Nevada:

Final Authorization of State Hazardous

Waste Management Program Revisions.’’

This was a typographical error and

should have read ‘‘Arizona: Final

Authorization of State Hazardous Waste

Management Program Revisions.’’ This

document corrects that error and

consequently extends the public

comment period and effective dates.

DATES: Final authorization for Arizona

is effective May 20, 1997 unless EPA

publishes a prior Federal Register

action withdrawing this immediate final

rule. All comments on Arizona’s

program revision application must be

received by the close of business April

21, 1997.
