SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

17 CFR Part 200

[Release No. 34–37159]

Delegation of Authority to Director of

Division of Enforcement

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission is amending

its rules to delegate authority to the

Director of the Division of Enforcement

to authorize staff to appear in federal

bankruptcy court where the debtor is

involved with the subject matter of a

Commission investigation, and to take

necessary action therein to preserve

potential Commission claims. This

amendment will expedite and enhance

the effectiveness of the enforcement

process by enabling staff to meet

bankruptcy court deadlines that affect

potential Commission claims and to

preserve and protect such claims.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 8, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Judith R. Starr, Division Bankruptcy

Counsel, Division of Enforcement, 202/

942–4868.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Securities and Exchange Commission

today announced amendments to its

rules governing delegation of authority

to the Division of Enforcement

(‘‘Division’’).

The amendment to Rule 30–4 1

authorizes the Director of Division of

Enforcement to approve staff

appearances in federal bankruptcy court

where the debtor is involved with the

subject matter of a Commission

investigation. This delegation will

expedite and enhance the effectiveness

of the enforcement process by enabling

prompt action to protect and preserve

potential claims. Notwithstanding this

delegation of authority, in instances

where contemplated action in a

bankruptcy case raises any close or

controversial issues, the Division may

consult with the Commission before the

action is filed in federal court.

The Commission finds, in accordance

with Section 553(b)(3)(A) of the

Administrative Procedure Act,2 that this

amendment relates solely to agency

organization, procedure, or practice, and

does not relate to a substantive rule.

Accordingly, notice and opportunity for

public comment are unnecessary, and

publication of the amendment 30 days

before its effective date is also

unnecessary.

SUMMARY: This Treasury decision makes

Federal Regulations (CFR). All changes

are to provide clarity and uniformity

throughout title 27 Code of Federal

Regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 8, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and

Firearms administers regulations

published in chapter I of title 27 Code

of Federal Regulations. These

regulations are updated April 1 of each

year to incorporate new or revised

regulations that were published by ATF

in the Federal Register during the

preceding year. Upon reviewing title 27

for the annual revision, ATF and the

CFR Unit of the Office of the Federal

Register identified several amendments

and conforming changes that are needed

to provide uniformity in chapter I of

title 27, Code of Federal Regulations.

These amendments do not make any

substantive changes and are only

intended to improve the clarity of title

27 or relieve regulatory requirements.

Paperwork Reduction Act

The provisions of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1980, Public Law 96–

511, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, and its

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part

1320, do not apply to this final rule

because there are no recordkeeping or

reporting requirements.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

Because no notice of proposed

rulemaking is required for this rule, the

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) does not

apply.

Executive Order 12866

It has been determined that this rule

is not a significant regulatory action

because it will not, (1) Have an annual

effect on the economy of $100 million

or more or adversely affect in a material

way the economy, a sector of the

economy, productivity, competition,

jobs, the environment, public health or

safety, or State, local or tribal

governments or communities; (2) Create

a serious inconsistency or otherwise

interfere with an action taken or

planned by another agency; (3)

Materially alter the budgetary impact of

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan

programs or the rights and obligations of

recipients thereof; or (4) Raise novel

legal or policy issues arising out of legal

mandates, the President’s priorities, or

the principles set forth in Executive

Order 12866.

Administrative Procedures Act

Because this final rule merely makes

technical amendments and conforming

changes to improve the clarity of the

regulations, it is unnecessary to issue

this final rule with notice and public

procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b).

Similarly it is unnecessary to subject

this final rule to the effective date

limitation of 5 U.S.C. 553(d).

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Forest Service

36 CFR Part 292

RIN 0596–AB39

Smith River National Recreation Area

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; change of effective

date.

SUMMARY: The Forest Service is giving

notice of a change in the effective date

of the Smith River National Recreation

Area final rule. The Smith River final

rule was published in the Federal

Register on April 3, 1996, (61 FR 14621)

and became effective on that date.

However, at the time of submission, the

Forest Service was unaware of the new

statutory requirements concerning

Congressional review of regulations.

Public Law 104–121, Subtitle E, Section

251, ‘‘Congressional Review’’ requires

the agency to submit a report and a copy

of a final regulation to each House of

Congress and to the General Accounting

Office (GAO), when the rule is

published in the Federal Register. The

effective date of a published rule must

be later than the publication date in

order to allow time for Congressional

review. A report and a copy of the rule

were submitted to Congress and the

GAO on May 3, 1996.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The new effective date

for this rule is May 23, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sam

Hotchkiss, Minerals and Geology

Management Staff, Forest Service,

USDA, (202) 205–1535.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final

rule (36 CFR Part 292) implements

Section 8(d) of the Smith River National

Recreation Area Act of 1990 and sets

forth the procedures by which the

Forest Service will regulate mineral

operations on National Forest System

lands within the Smith River National

Recreation Area. This rule supplements

existing Forest Service regulations and

is intended to ensure that mineral

operations are conducted in a manner

consistent with the purposes for which

the Smith River National Recreation

Area was established.

Dated: May 3, 1996.

Adjudication Regulations;

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document amends

adjudication regulations by updating

various cross-references and authority

citations and by making other

nonsubstantive changes.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This amendment is

effective May 8, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 38 CFR

3.23(d)(5) concerns annual income for

improved pension surviving spouses.

The authority citation for 38 CFR

3.23(d)(5) is shown incorrectly as ‘‘38

U.S.C. 1541 (c), (h)’’. The authority

citation is corrected to read ‘‘38 U.S.C.

1541 (c), (g)’’.

38 CFR 3.24(c)(1) states that in certain

situations pension shall be paid to a

child in the custody of a person legally

responsible for the child’s support at an

annual rate equal to the difference

between the rate for a surviving spouse

and one child, and ‘‘the sum of the

annual income of such person.’’ This

paragraph is based on 38 U.S.C. 1542

which states that the child’s rate is

reduced by the child’s income or, if the

child is residing with a person legally

responsible for the child’s support, by

‘‘the sum of the annual income of such

child and such person.’’ 38 CFR

3.24(c)(1) is amended to restore the

words ‘‘the annual income of such child

and’’ before ‘‘the annual income of such

person’’. These words appear in the

Federal Register of September 16, 1987,

but were omitted from the July 1, 1988,

Federal Register codification of 38 CFR

and all subsequent versions. This

change will conform the regulation to 38

U.S.C. 1542.

The most recent change to 38 CFR

3.25 appeared in the Federal Register of

September 16, 1987. The version of 38

CFR 3.25(c)(2) in the Federal Register of

September 16, 1987, contained the

following statement: ‘‘. . . no payment

of DIC to a parent under this paragraph

may be less than $5 monthly. Each time

there is a rate increase under 38 U.S.C.

3112, the amount of the reduction under

this paragraph shall be recomputed to

provide, as nearly as possible, for an

equitable distribution of the rate

increase.’’ However, the July 1, 1988,

codified version of 38 CFR 3.25(c)(2)

omitted the following words: ‘‘may be

less than $5 monthly. Each time there is

a rate increase under 38 U.S.C. 3112, the

amount of the reduction under this

paragraph’’. This change restores the

words that were inadvertently omitted

from 38 CFR 3.25(c)(2).

38 CFR 3.250(d) concerning

remarriage of a parent receiving

Dependency and Indemnity

Compensation (DIC) contains an

incorrect reference to ‘‘38 U.S.C.

102(a)(2)’’. The reference is corrected to

read ‘‘38 U.S.C. 102(b)(1)’’.

38 CFR 3.252(a), which concerns

annual income limitations in old-law

pension cases, contains an incorrect

reference to ‘‘§ 3.26(b)’’. 38 CFR 3.252(a)

is changed to show the correct reference

for old-law pension, which is 38 CFR

3.26(c).

In 1991 § 14(d)(8)(b) of Public Law

102–54 eliminated subsection (e) from

38 U.S.C. 6103. The language that was

previously in subsection (e) was

included under subsection (b). The

authority citation for 38 CFR 3.458(f)(2)

is changed from ‘‘38 U.S.C. 6103(e)’’ to

‘‘38 U.S.C 6103(b)’’.

38 CFR 3.100(a), 38 CFR 3.321(b)(1),

38 CFR 3.460(b), 38 CFR 3.461(b)(1),

and 38 CFR 3.559(c) are amended to

show the current title of the chief officer

of the Veterans Benefits Administration.

Previously the Under Secretary for

Benefits was called the ‘‘Chief Benefits

Director.’’

A regulatory change published in the

Federal Register of June 24, 1985,

moved effective date rules for

Dependency and Indemnity

Compensation (DIC) from 38 CFR

3.400(c)(3) to 38 CFR 3.400(c)(4). 38

CFR 3.702 on DIC is amended to reflect

that change in two references to 38 CFR

3.400.

We are amending 38 CFR 3.852 on

institutional awards to add authority

citations for paragraphs (a), (c), (d), and

(e).

In 1991, § 14(d)(8)(b) of Public Law

102–54 eliminated paragraph (e) from

38 U.S.C. 6103. The authority citation

for 38 CFR 3.901(c) is changed from ‘‘38
