necessary to keep them operationally

current. It, therefore—(1) Is not a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. For the same

reason, the FAA certifies that this

amendment will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

Regulation of Short-Term Natural Gas

Transportation Services and

Regulation of Interstate Natural Gas

Transportation Services

Issued April 12, 2000.

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, DOE.

ACTION: Final rule; order extending time

for compliance filings.

SUMMARY: The Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission is extending the

time for pipelines to make filings to

comply with Order No. 637 relating to

regulation of short-term natural gas

transportation services and regulation of

interstate natural gas transportation

services which was published in the

Federal Register of February 25, 2000.

DATES: Pipeline compliance filings will

be due on June 15, 2000, July 17, 2000,

and August 15, 2000, according to the

schedule set out in SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Order Extending Time for Compliance

On February 9, 2000, The Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission

(Commission) issued Order No. 637 1

that, among other things, required

pipelines to file pro forma tariff sheets

on May 1, 2000, to comply with the

adopted regulations. Shippers were

given 30 days to file comments or

protests. The Commission is extending

the time for filing and staggering the

compliance schedule.

On March 10, 2000, the Pipeline

Transportation Customer Coalition 2

filed a motion requesting the

Commission to extend the filing of the

pro forma tariff sheets beyond the May

1, 2000 date. They contend the

Commission should adopt a staggered

schedule to provide customers on

multiple pipelines with the opportunity

to effectively respond to the pipeline

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 19, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 20903

filings. They also request an extension

of the time within which to prepare

comments or protests to 45 days.

The Commission is extending and

staggering the schedule for pro forma

compliance filings to provide shippers

an opportunity to fully respond to each

pipeline filing. The revised schedule is

set out below. The Commission denies

the request to extend the time period for

comments. Given the staggered

schedule, shippers should be able to file

comments within the 30 day period.

The pipelines listed below are to

make their pro forma tariff filing by the

date indicated:

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

Bureau of Consular Affairs

22 CFR Parts 41 and 42

[Public Notice 3283]

Visas: Documentation of Immigrants

and Nonimmigrants Under the

Immigration and Nationality Act, as

Amended

AGENCY: Bureau of Consular Affairs,

DOS.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The enactment of legislation

over the past few years has created new

immigrant and nonimmigrant visa

categories. Additionally, some visa

classification symbols are removed due

to the expiration of certain immigrant

visa programs. This rule amends both

the immigrant and nonimmigrant

classification tables.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule takes effect on

April 19, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Chief, Legislation and

Regulation Division, Visa Office,

Washington, DC 20522–1013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: H.

Edward Odom, Chief, Legislation and

Regulations Division, 202–663–1204.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

How Is the Nonimmigrant Visa Table

Affected?

The rule amends the nonimmigrant

visa classification table at 22 CFR 41.12

by removing the classification H–1A

and by adding a new classification H–

1C. This rule implements sec. 2 of

Public Law 106–95. The law adds a new

class of nonimmigrants for nurses

coming to areas where there is a health

professional shortage. These nurses

have been given the classification

symbol H–1C. The same law repeals

INA 101(a)(15)(H)(i) relating to former

registered nurses classified as H–1A.

This rule, therefore, removes the H–1A

category and adds the H–1C category to

the nonimmigrant table.

The Department is also taking this

opportunity to correct a typographical

error for the NATO–2 entry.

How Is the Immigrant Visa

Classification Table Affected?

This rule amends the immigrant visa

classification table at 22 CFR 42.11 by

including NATO employees and their

spouses and children in the special

immigrant categories SK1, SK3 and SK4.

The rule implements section 421(a) of

Public Law 105–277 which added

NATO employees and their spouse and

unmarried children to the special
