2536 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 6 / Tuesday, January 10, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

Kentucky is not authorized to operate

the Federal program on Indian Lands.

This authority remains with EPA unless

provided otherwise in a future statute or

regulation.

C. Decision

I conclude that Kentucky’s

applications for these program revisions

meet all of the statutory and regulatory

requirements established by RCRA.

Accordingly, Kentucky is granted final

authorization to operate its hazardous

waste program as revised.

Kentucky now has responsibility for

permitting treatment, storage, and

disposal facilities within its borders and

carrying out other aspects of the RCRA

program, subject to the limitations of its

program revision applications and

previously approved authorities.

Kentucky also has primary enforcement

responsibilities, although EPA retains

the right to conduct inspections under

section 3007 of RCRA and to take

enforcement actions under sections

3008, 3013, and 7003 of RCRA.

Compliance With Executive Order

12866

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this rule from the

requirements of Section 6 of Executive

Order 12866.

Certification Under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act

Pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C.

605(b), I hereby certify that this

authorization will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. This

authorization effectively suspends the

applicability of certain Federal

regulations in favor of Kentucky’s

program, thereby eliminating

duplicative requirements for handlers of

hazardous waste in the State. It does not

impose any new burdens on small

entities. This rule, therefore, does not

require a regulatory flexibility analysis.

Tables

AGENCY: Federal Supply Service, GSA.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Federal, State, and Puerto

Rico tax tables for calculating the

relocation income tax (RIT) allowance

must be updated yearly to reflect

changes in Federal, State, and Puerto

Rico income tax brackets and rates. The

Federal, State, and Puerto Rico tax

tables contained in this rule are for

calculating the 1995 RIT allowance to be

paid to relocating Federal employees.

DATES: Effective dates: The new tables

in this final rule are effective January 1,

1995. The change to the 1992 Puerto

Rico tax table in this final rule is

effective January 1, 1993.

Applicability dates: The new tables in

this final rule apply for RIT allowance

payments made on or after January 1,

1995. The change to the 1992 Puerto

Rico tax table in this final rule applies

for RIT allowance payments made on or

after January 1, 1993.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment provides the tax tables

necessary to compute the relocation

income tax (RIT) allowance for

employees who are taxed in 1995 on

moving expense reimbursements. In

addition, the Internal Revenue Service

(IRS) informed the General Services

Administration (GSA) that the Puerto

Rico tax table for 1992 which the IRS

provided GSA contained an error. This

amendment corrects that error.

GSA has determined that this rule is

not a significant regulatory action for

the purposes of Executive Order 12866

of September 30, 1993. This final rule is

not required to be published in the

Federal Register for notice and

comment. Therefore, the Regulatory

Flexibility Act does not apply.

1Earned income amounts that fall between the income brackets shown in this table (e.g., $24,999.45, $49,999.75) should be rounded to the

nearest dollar to determine the marginal tax rate to be used in calculating the RIT allowance. 2 If the earned income amount is less than the lowest income bracket shown in this table, the employing agency shall establish an appropriate

marginal tax rate as provided in § 302–11.8(e)(2)(ii). 3This rate applies only to those individuals certifying that they will file under a single status within the States where they will pay income taxes.

All other taxpayers, regardless of filing status, will use the other rate shown. 4The income tax rate for Rhode Island (for other than single status) is 27.5 percent of Federal income tax liability for employees whose earned

income amounts are between $20,000–$24,999; 32 percent of Federal income tax liability for employees whose earned income amounts are between $25,000–$49,999; 27.55 percent of Federal income tax liability for employees whose earned income amounts are between $50,000–

$74,999; and 25.05 percent of Federal income tax liability for employees whose earned income amounts are $75,000 and over. Rates shown as

a percent of Federal income tax liability must be converted to a percent of income as provided in § 302–11.8(e)(2)(iii). 5The income tax rate for Rhode Island (for single status) is 32 percent of Federal income tax liability for employees whose earned income

amounts are between $20,000–$24,999; 27.55 percent of Federal income tax liability for employees whose earned income amounts are between

$25,000–$74,999; and 25.05 percent of Federal income tax liability for employees whose earned income amounts are $75,000 and over. Rates

shown as a percent of Federal income tax liability must be converted to a percent of income as provided in § 302–11.8(e)(2)(iii). 6The income tax rate for Vermont is 25 percent of Federal income tax liability for all employees. Rates shown as a percent of Federal income

tax liability must be converted to a percent of income as provided in § 302–11.8(e)(2)(iii).

ACTION: Final rule; response to petitions

SUMMARY: On April 25, 1994, NHTSA

published a new Federal motor vehicle

safety standard, Standard No. 303, Fuel

System Integrity of Compressed Natural

Gas Vehicles. The standard limits the

amount of allowable CNG leakage after

a crash test by limiting the post-crash

pressure drop of the fuel system. Ford

and the American Automobile

Manufacturers Association, submitted

petitions for reconsideration of the final

rule. The issues raised in the petitions

include the allowable pressure drop

limit, submitted by Ford and Chrysler,

and other pre-crash test conditions and

procedures, submitted by AAMA.

NHTSA is denying the petitions of Ford

and Chrysler concerning pressure drop

limit, and denying in part and granting

in part the requests by AAMA.

DATES: Effective Date: The amendments

made in this rule are effective

September 1, 1995.
