existing utilities and non-utility power

intake structure, and whose flow levels

exceed a minimum threshold to be

determined by EPA; and (3) Phase III,

governing existing facilities that employ

a cooling water intake structure, that are

not covered by the Phase II rule, and

whose intake flow levels exceed a

minimum threshold to be determined by

EPA. EPA proposed Phase I regulations

on July 20, 2000, 65 FR 49060. The

remaining deadlines for rulemaking in

each phase are as follows:

Phase I: Final action by November 9,

2001

FEDERAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

ADVISORY BOARD

Notice of New Exposure Draft Change

in Certain Requirements for

Reconciling Obligations and Net Cost

of Operations—Amendment of SFFAS

7, Accounting for Revenue and Other

Financing Sources

AGENCY: Federal Accounting Standards

Advisory Board.

Board Action: Pursuant to the Federal

Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. No.

92–463), as amended, and the FASAB

Rules of Procedure, as amended in

October, 1999, notice is hereby given

that the Federal Accounting Standards

Advisory Board has published a new

exposure draft, Change in Certain

Requirements for Reconciling

Obligations and Net Cost of

Operations—Amendment to SFFAS 7,

Accounting for Revenue and Other

Financing Sources.

A summary of the proposed

Statement follows: On April 12, 2001,

the Federal Accounting Standards

Advisory Board (FASAB) released for

public comment an exposure draft (ED)

to amend Statement of Federal Financial

Accounting Standards (SFFAS) 7,

Accounting for Revenue and Other

Financing Sources and Concepts for

Reconciling Budgetary and Financial

Accounting. The Chairman of the

Federal Accounting Standards Advisory

Board announced that the FASAB has

issued an exposure draft of a proposed

standard affecting the presentation of

the reconciliation of obligations and the

net cost of operations in the statement

of financing. The new standard would

delete the requirement to report changes

in certain receivables from the public as

a resource on the statement of financing.

The effect of the change is that the

location of this item in the statement of

financing is no longer specified by the

standard. The Board is deferring a final

solution regarding the placement of this

element until it can be addressed within

the context of a fuller review of the

statement of financing. In the interim,

flexibility will be permitted by the

amended standard. The exposure draft

entitle Change in Certain Requirements

for Reconciling Obligations and Net

Cost of Operations, Amendment of

SFFAS 7, Accounting for Revenue and

Other Financing Sources, will be out for

comment until June 8, 2001. The

proposed amendment of SFFAS No. 7

would be effective for periods beginning

after September 30, 2000.

The exposure draft will be mailed to

FASAB’s mailing list subscribers.

Additionally, it is available on FASAB’s

home page http://www.financenet.gov/

fasab.htm. Copies fan be obtained by

contacting FASAB at (202) 512–7350, or

fontenroser.fasab@gao.gov. For further

information call Richard Fontenrose
