Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 50 / Wednesday, March 15, 1995 / Rules and Regulations 13907

The definition of the term ‘‘bid’’ in

§ 356.2 has been expanded to clarify

that an offer to purchase a stated par

amount of a security by a depository

institution or dealer to fulfill a

guarantee as described above is a bid for

the depository institution’s or dealer’s

own account and not a bid for a

customer.

In § 356.12, the requirement to

express a competitive bid with two

decimals has been changed with regard

to Treasury notes and bonds. Prior to

the publication of this rule, a

competitive bid for a note or bond had

to show the yield bid, expressed with

two decimals. Effective with the

publication of this rule, such bids must

show the yield bid, expressed with three

decimals. The requirement for a

competitive bid for a Treasury bill to

show the discount rate bid, expressed

with two decimals, remains unchanged.

Further, the restriction against using

fractions still applies to bids for all

securities.

The change from two decimal places

to three decimal places for notes and

bonds is being made to encourage

greater participation in Treasury

auctions.

Procedural Requirements

This final rule does not meet the

criteria for a ‘‘significant regulatory

action’’ pursuant to Executive Order

12866.

Because this rule relates to public

contracts and procedures for United

States securities, the notice, public

comment, and delayed effective date

provisions of the Administrative

Procedure Act are inapplicable,

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2).

As no notice of proposed rulemaking

is required, the provisions of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601,

et seq.) do not apply.

There are no collections of

information required by this final rule,

and, therefore, the Paperwork Reduction

Act does not apply.

Analysis of Comments

The proposed amendment to Selective

Service Regulations was published in

the Federal Register on December 28,

1994 (59 FR 66839) for public comment.

No comment was received.

The proposed regulation will become

the final rule.

Executive Order 12866

In promulgating this regulation, I have

adhered to the regulatory philosophy

and the applicable principles of

regulation set forth in section 1 of

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory

Planning and Review. This amendment

has not been reviewed by the Office of

Management and Budget under that

Executive order, as it is not deemed

‘‘significant’’ thereunder.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

I certify under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) that

this rulemaking will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act (44

U.S.C. chapter 35) does not apply

because this rulemaking does not

contain information collection

requirements that require the approval

of the Office of Management and

Budget.

Certificate

Whereas, on December 28, 1994, the

Director of Selective Service published

a Notice of Proposed Amendments of

Selective Service Regulations at 59 FR

66839; and whereas such publication

complied with the publication

requirement of section 13(b) of the

Military Selective Service Act (50 App.

U.S.C. 463(b)) in that more than 30 days

have elapsed subsequent to such

publication during which period

comments from the public (summarized

above) have been received and

considered; and I certify that I have

requested the view of officials named in

section 2(a) of Executive Order 11623

and none of them has timely requested

that the matter be referred to the

President for decision.

Now therefore by virtue of the

authority vested in me by the Military

Selective Service Act, as amended (50

App. U.S.C. section 451 et seq.) and

Executive Order 11623 of October 12,

1971, the Selective Service Regulations
13908 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 50 / Wednesday, March 15, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

subject of these corrections established

Federal agency micrographic program

responsibilities, revised micrographic

standards, modified coverage of

temporary records, and clarified

inspection provisions. The regulations

affected Federal agencies.

Need for Corrections

The final regulation intended to revise

the title of the Part from

‘‘Micrographics’’ to ‘‘Micrographic

Records Management’’ to better reflect

the subject matter; due to a technical

drafting error, the change in title was

not made although the final rule

displayed the revised title. In

§ 1230.12(d)(1)(i), a typographical error

was made in the ANSI/AIIM standard

referenced of aperture card formats.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Under the 1990 Clean Air Act

Amendments (CAAA), States have the

responsibility to inventory emissions

contributing to NAAQS nonattainment,

to track these emissions over time, and

to ensure that control strategies are

being implemented that reduce

emissions and move areas towards

attainment. The CAAA require ozone

nonattainment areas designated as

moderate, serious, severe, and extreme

to submit a plan within three years of

1990 to reduce volatile organic

compounds (VOC) emissions by 15

percent within six years after 1990. The

baseline level of emissions, from which

the 15 percent reduction is calculated,

is determined by adjusting the base year

inventory to exclude biogenic emissions

and to exclude certain emission

reductions not creditable towards the 15

percent. The 1990 base year emissions

inventory is the primary inventory from

which the periodic inventory, the

Reasonable Further Progress projection

inventory, and the modeling inventory
