SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Over the

past eighteen months, the Coast Guard

conducted a comprehensive review of

its regulatory process. This review

included meetings with members of

regulated communities and advisory

committees. Although the Coast Guard

is proud of its frequent and ongoing

interaction with the regulated

community, the need for additional

public involvement in the regulatory

process was an area specifically

identified for improvement. It is only

through keeping in touch with those

affected that the Coast Guard can truly

judge if its regulatory and compliance

efforts are effective and efficient. As a

result, the Coast Guard’s new regulatory

procedures manual requires regulatory

project managers to provide

opportunities for public involvement at

the earliest stages of a regulatory project.

Additionally, the Coast Guard’s ongoing

Maritime Regulatory Reform effort is

intended to remove unnecessary

regulatory burdens on the maritime

industry.

In his memorandum of March 4, 1995,

President Clinton directed the heads of

all Federal departments and agencies to

make regulatory reinvention a top

priority. He identified four steps to be

taken. These steps are: (1) Cut obsolete

regulations; (2) reward results, not red

tape; (3) get out of Washington and

create grassroots partnerships; and (4)

negotiate, don’t dictate. The Coast

Guard is taking a number of additional

actions to achieve the President’s goals

of reducing the regulatory burden and

improving compliance through

cooperation.

One of these actions is to conduct a

number of public meetings during the

month of April to discuss regulatory

reinvention. The meetings are intended

to allow members of the regulated

community the opportunity to talk

directly with senior Coast Guard

officials involved in the regulatory

process, and raise concerns with current

regulatory and enforcement policies.

The senior Coast Guard officials

identified below currently plan to

attend the meetings listed below. Rear

Admiral Gregory Penington, Chief of the

Office of Navigation Safety and

Waterway Services at Coast Guard

Headquarters, will attend the meeting of

the Navigation Safety Advisory Council

in Seattle, WA on April 21, 1995. This

meeting will begin at 8 a.m. Rear

Admiral James Card, Chief of the Office

of Marine Safety, Security, and

Environmental Protection at Coast

Guard Headquarters, will attend an

‘‘Industry Day’’ meeting in New York,

NY on April 11, 1995. This meeting will

begin at 9 a.m. Rear Admiral John

Shkor, Chief Counsel of the Coast Guard

and Chairman of the Marine Safety

Council, the Coast Guard’s regulatory

oversight body, will attend an ‘‘Industry

Day’’ meeting in Boston, MA on April

12, 1995. This meeting will begin at 9

a.m., with registration beginning at 8:30

a.m. The locations for these meetings

are listed above under ADDRESSES.

In addition to the above meetings, a

number of other ‘‘Industry Day’’

meetings are scheduled in Portland, OR;

Warren, RI; Valdez, AK; Cape Cod, MA;

Milwaukee, WI; Anchorage, AK;

Alameda, CA; Hampton Roads, VA;

Tampa, FL; Mobile, AL; and Agana,

Guam. These meetings will be hosted by

the local Coast Guard Captain of the

Port, and regulatory reinvention will be

a key topic. The Coast Guard Captain of

the Port for each area can provide

additional details on the date and time

for each meeting. Additionally, on April

20, 1995, the Coast Guard will hold a

public meeting in Washington, DC to

discuss regulatory reform. The details of

this meeting will be announced by a

separate notice in the Federal Register.

Persons affected by or interested in

Coast Guard regulatory actions are also

invited to submit written comments as

indicated under ADDRESSES above.

Dated: March 24, 1995.

POSTAL SERVICE

39 CFR Part 232

Conduct on Postal Service Property

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This proposed rule will

amend Postal Service property

regulations by providing that when

conduct that is a violation of Federal or

State criminal law is committed on

Postal Service property, it is also a

violation of Postal Service regulations,

and that the fine and/or imprisonment

penalties of 39 CFR 232.1(p) may be

imposed for the proscribed conduct

when Federal and State prosecution of

the criminal law violation are declined.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before May 5, 1995.
17288 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 5, 1995 / Proposed Rules

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be mailed or delivered to the Counsel,

Postal Inspection Service, 475 L’Enfant

20260–2181.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Henry J. Bauman, Counsel, Postal

Inspection Service, (202) 268–4415.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Postal

Service regulations on conduct on

postal property are published in title 39

of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

as § 232.1. One purpose of this proposed

rule is to clarify that prohibited conduct

on postal property includes violations

of: (1) State, Territory, Possession, and

District criminal laws assimilated onto

exclusive Federal property under 18

U.S.C. 13, Assimilated Crimes Act; and

(2) Federal, State, Territory, Possession,

and/or District criminal laws that apply

to the geographic areas in which

nonexclusive properties owned or

leased by the Postal Service are located.

Another purpose of this proposed rule

is to provide that when conduct that is

a violation of Federal, State, Territory,

Possession, and/or District criminal law

is committed on Postal Service property,

it is also a violation of Postal Service

regulations. Persons committing such

prohibited conduct are subject to the

penalty provisions of 39 CFR 232.1(p)

(i.e., a fine of not more than $50 and/

or imprisonment of not more than 30

days), when prosecution of the criminal

law violation is declined by Federal,

State, Territory, Possession, or District

prosecutors.

List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 232

Federal buildings and facilities,

Penalties, Postal Service.

Accordingly, 39 CFR part 232 is

proposed to be amended as set forth

below.

PART 232—CONDUCT ON POSTAL

PROPERTY

1. The authority citation for part 232

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 39 U.S.C. 401, 403(b)(3),

404(a)(7); 40 U.S.C. 318, 318a, 318b, 318c;

sec. 613, Treasury, Postal Service, and

General Government Appropriations Act,

1992, Pub. L. 102–141, 18 U.S.C. 13, 3061; 21

U.S.C. 802, 844.

2. Section 232.1 is amended by

adding a new paragraph (r) to read as

follows:

§ 232.1 Conduct on postal property.

* * * * *

(r) Other prohibited conduct. (1) The

regulations in this section for conduct

on Postal Service property also include:

(i) State, Territory, Possession, and

District criminal laws assimilated onto

exclusive Federal property under 18

U.S.C. 13, Assimilated Crimes Act; and

(ii) Federal, State, Territory,

Possession, and/or District criminal

laws that apply to the geographic areas

in which nonexclusive properties

owned or leased by the Postal Service

are located.

(2) When a violation of a Federal,

State, Territory, Possession, or District

criminal law is committed on Postal

Service property, it is also a violation of

Postal Service regulations and is

therefore subject to the penalty

provisions of paragraph (p) of this

section when prosecution of the

criminal law violation is declined by

Federal, State, Territory, Possession, or

District prosecutors.

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans;

Massachusetts; U Restricted Emission

Status

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

a State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This

revision approves 310 CMR 7.02(12),

entitled ‘‘U Restricted Emission Status,’’

into the Massachusetts SIP. EPA is also

proposing to extend the federal

enforceability of this regulation to

hazardous air pollutants. In the Final

Rules Section of this Federal Register,

EPA is approving the Commonwealth’s

SIP revision as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

revision amendment and anticipates no

adverse comments. A detailed rationale

for the approval is set forth in the direct

final rule. If no adverse comments are

received in response to that direct final

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA

receives adverse comments, the direct

final rule will be withdrawn and all

public comments received will be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. EPA will

not institute a second comment period

on this proposal. Any parties interested

in commenting on this proposal should

do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before May 5, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

Linda M. Murphy, Director, Air,
