Federal Employment Tax Deposits—De

Minimis Rule

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS),

Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

by cross-reference to temporary

regulations.

SUMMARY: In the Rules and Regulations

section of this issue of the Federal

Register, the IRS is issuing temporary

regulations relating to the deposits of

Federal employment taxes. The text of

those regulations also serves as the text

of these proposed regulations.

DATES: Written comments and requests

for a public hearing must be received by

September 14, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send submissions to:

CC:DOM:CORP:R (REG–110403–98),

room 5226, Internal Revenue Service,

POB 7604, Ben Franklin Station,

Washington, DC 20044. Submissions

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Explanation of

Provisions

Temporary regulations in the Rules

and Regulations section of this issue of

the Federal Register amend the

Employment Tax and Collection of

Income Tax at Source Regulations (26

CFR part 31) relating to section 6302.

The temporary regulations change the

de minimis rule for the deposit of

Federal employment taxes. The text of

those regulations also serves as the text

of these proposed regulations. The

preamble to the temporary regulations

explains the amendments.

Special Analyses

It has been determined that this notice

of proposed rulemaking is not a

significant regulatory action as defined

in EO 12866. Therefore, a regulatory

assessment is not required. It also has

been determined that section 553(b) of

the Administrative Procedure Act (5

U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these

regulations, and because these

regulations do not impose a collection

of information on small entities, the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.

chapter 6) does not apply. Pursuant to

section 7805(f) of the Internal Revenue

Code, this notice of proposed

rulemaking will be submitted to the

Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small

Business Administration for comment

on its impact on small business.

Comments and Requests for a Public

Hearing

Before these proposed regulations are

adopted as final regulations,

consideration will be given to any

comments that are submitted timely to

the IRS. All comments will be available

for public inspection and copying. A

public hearing may be scheduled if

requested by any person that timely

submits comments. If a public hearing is

scheduled, notice of the date, time, and

place for the hearing will be published

in the Federal Register.

Drafting Information: The principal

author of these regulations is Vincent

Surabian, Office of Assistant Chief

Counsel (Income Tax & Accounting).

However, other personnel from the IRS

and Treasury Department participated

in their development.

List of Subjects in 26 CFR Part 31

Employment taxes, Income taxes,

Penalties, Pensions, Railroad retirement,

Reporting and recordkeeping

requirements, Social security,

Unemployment compensation.

Proposed Amendments to the

Regulations

Accordingly, 26 CFR part 31 is

33 CFR Part 100

[CCD 08–98–018]

RIN 2115–AE46

Special Local Regulations; Eighth

Coast Guard District Annual Marine

Events

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to

revise Table 1 to 33 CFR 100.801, the

list of annual marine events that occur

within the Eighth Coast Guard District.

This proposed revision will also result

the Eighth Coast Guard District’s

absorption of the territories previously

encompassed by Second the Coast

Guard District.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before August 17, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

mailed to Commander (dl), Eighth Coast

Guard District, 501 Magazine Street,

New Orleans, LA 70130–3396. The

comments will be available for

inspection and copying at the District

Legal Office, Room 1311, Hale Boggs

Federal Building, 501 Magazine Street,

New Orleans, LA. Office hours are
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 115 /Tuesday, June 16, 1998 / Proposed Rules 32775

between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday

through Friday, except holidays.

Comments may also be hand delivered

to this address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Project Attorney, Lieutenant

Commander Jim Wilson at Commander

(dl), Eighth Coast Guard District, 501

Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA

70130–3396, (504) 589–6188.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Request for Comments

The Coast Guard encourages

interested persons to participate in this

rulemaking by submitting written data,

views, or arguments. Persons submitting

comments should include their names

and address, identify this rulemaking

[CGD 08–98–018] and the specific

section of this proposal to which each

comment applies, and give a reason for

each comment. Please submit two

copies of all comments and attachments

in an unbound format, no larger than 8.5

by 11 inches, suitable for copying and

electronic filing. Persons wanting

acknowledgment of receipt of comments

should enclosure a stamped, selfaddressed postcard or envelope. The

Coast Guard will consider all comments

received during the comment period.

The Coast Guard many change this

proposed rule in view of the comments.

The Coast Guard plans no public

hearing. Persons may request a public

hearing by writing to the Project

Attorney at the address under

ADDRESSES. If it determines that the

opportunity for oral presentations will

aid this rulemaking, the Coast Guard

will hold a public hearing at a time and

place announced by a notice in the

Federal Register.

Background and Purpose

This rulemaking will update the

existing list of annual marine events in

the Eighth Coast Guard District. This

revision will also reflect the Eighth

Coast Guard District’s absorption of the

territories previously encompassed by

the Second Coast Guard District.

Regulatory Evaluation

This proposed rule is not a significant

regulatory action under section 3(f) of

Executive Order 12866 and does not

require an assessment of potential costs

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that

Order. It has not been reviewed by the

Office of Management and Budget under

that Order. It is not significant under the

regulatory policies and procedures of

the Department of Transportation (DOT)

(44 FR 11040; February 26, 1979).

The Coast Guard expects the

economic impact of this proposed rule

to be so minimal that a full Regulatory

Evaluation under paragraph 10e of the

regulatory policies and procedures of

DOT is unnecessary. The economic

impact is not significant because this

proposed rule serves only to update an

already existing list of marine events

and does not change the process for

reviewing such occurrences.

Small Entities

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Coast Guard

considers whether this proposed rule

will have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small

entities. ‘‘Small entities’’ include small

businesses, not-for-profit organizations

that are independently owned, operated,

and not dominant in their fields, and

governmental jurisdictions with

populations of less than 50,000.

The segment of the listed waterways

regulated is the minimum necessary to

assure the safety of life and property on

or adjacent to navigable waters. These

regulations are relatively brief in

duration and will only affect marine

traffic. Therefore, the Coast Guard

certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this

proposed rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. If, however,

you think your business or organization

qualifies as a small entity and this

proposed rule will have a significant

economic impact on your business or

organization, please submit a comment

(see ADDRESSES) explaining why you

think your business qualifies and in

what way and to what degree this

proposed rule will economically affect

it.

Assistance for Small Entities

In accordance with section 213(a) of

the Small Business Regulatory

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub.

L. 104–121), the Coast Guard encourages

small businesses to participate in this

rulemaking. The Coast Guard will assist

small entities in understanding this

proposed rule so that they can better

evaluate the rule’s effect on them. If

your small business or organization is

affected by this rule and you have

questions concerning its provisions or

options for compliance, contact Project

Attorney, Lieutenant Commander Jim

Wilson at Commander (dl), Eighth Coast

Guard District, 501 Magazine Street,

New Orleans, LA 70130–3396, (504)

589–6188.

Collection of Information

No information is collected under this

proposed rule. This rule complies with

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

Federalism Implications

The Coast Guard has analyzed this

proposed rule under the principles and

criteria contained in Executive Order

12612 and has determined that this

proposed rule does not have sufficient

federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Environment

The Coast Guard is proposed to revise

its list of recurring marine events. The

listing itself will not affect the

environment. When an event

application is received, the Coast Guard

will conduct an environmental analysis

for the event. Under figure 2–1

paragraph (34)(h) of with Coast Guard

Commandant Instruction M16475.1C,

this proposed revision is categorically

excluded from further environmental

documentation.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100

Marine safety, Navigation (water),

Reporting and recordkeeping

requirements, Waterways.

Proposed Regulations

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Coast Guard proposed to amend part

100 of Title 33, Code of Federal

Regulations, as follows:

PART 100—[AMENDED]

1. The authority citation for part 100

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1233; 49 CFR 1.46;

and 33 CFR 100.35.

§ 100.201 [Removed]

2. Remove § 100.201.

3. Section 100.801 is amended by

revising Table 1 to read as follows:

§ 100.80 Annual Marine Events in the

Eighth Coast Guard District.
