SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 2

U.S.C. 131, 136, and 149, the Librarian

of Congress has general and specific

authority for the administration and

disposition of Library materials; it

pertains to the organization and

handling of duplicate materials and to

the exchange and transfer operations of

the Library, sale, donation to domestic

educational institutions and public

bodies, and the disposition of materials

not needed for any of these uses. In

order to enhance these operations and to

fill gaps in its permanent collections,

the Library of Congress has encouraged

libraries and other agencies of the

Federal Government to send to the

Library’s Exchange and Gift Division all

library materials that are surplus to their

needs. For several decades this program

benefitted the Library, the Federal

library community and the general

public. Because of reductions in staffing

levels, due to budgetary constraints, and

reduced demand in some categories, the

Library can no longer fully utilize these

materials. In analyzing the costs and

benefits to the Federal Government, the

Library found that the expenses to

administer the current program far

outweigh the benefits. By implementing

this regulation, the Library will be able

to redirect its remaining fiscal and

human resources to efficiently

administer a reduced, but more focused,

program. Other Federal agencies will

achieve considerable savings in labor

and postage by not having to handle and

ship unwanted materials to the Library

of Congress. The proposed replacement

text for 36 CFR 701.33(a)(4) is revised to

set forth the general policy on the

transfer of surplus library materials to

reduce the volume and type of materials

it receives from Federal agencies.

Libraries, Seals and insignias.

Proposed Regulations

In consideration of the foregoing the

Library of Congress proposes to amend

36 CFR part 701 as follows:

PART 701—PROCEDURES AND

SERVICES

1. The authority citation for part 701

will continue to read as follows:

Authority: 2 U.S.C. 131, 136 & 149.

2. Section 701.33(a)(4) is revised to

read as follows:

§ 701.33 Acquisition of library materials by

non-purchase means and disposition of

surplus library materials.

* * * * *

(4) Transfer. Libraries and other

agencies of the Federal Government are

encouraged to send to the Library for

disposition soft or hard-bound books

that are surplus to their needs in the

following categories: Novels and

Reference works (e.g. encyclopedias,

directories, guides, such as

Encyclopedia of Associations, The

World of Learning, The Statesman’s

Yearbook, Books in Print, etc.) not older

than three years. And not older than five

years in: Humanities (art, music, belles

lettres etc.); History and area studies;

Social sciences (economics, politics,

etc.); Education; and Science

(agriculture, medicine, computer

science, mathematics, physics, etc.).

Such transferred materials are needed to

fill gaps in the Library’s holdings, for

exchanges, to transfer to other Federal

agencies, and to make available through

the Surplus Books Program to qualified

recipients. The Library’s Exchange and

Gift Division (E&G) requests notification

at the earliest possible date of any

government libraries that are scheduled

to close or be substantially reduced. The

Library also requests that shipments of

1,000 pounds or more be cleared with

E&G in advance. The Library does not

accept bound and unbound serials.

Federal agencies should dispose of

surplus serials, and other surplus library

materials not specified above, in

accordance with their agency’s

regulations governing the disposal of

surplus materials.

County Local Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: On November 29, and

December 28, 1995, the State of North

Carolina, through the North Carolina

Department of Environment, Health and

Natural Resources, submitted revisions

to the North Carolina State

Implementation Plan (SIP). These

revisions include the adoption of three

source-specific volatile organic

compound rules; Subchapter 3D .0955,

Thread Bonding Manufacturing, .0956,

Glass Christmas Ornament

Manufacturing, and .0957 Commercial

Bakeries, the deleting of textile coating,

Christmas ornament manufacturing, and

bakeries from the list of sources that

must follow interim standards, the

defining of di-acetone alcohol as a nonphotochemically reactive solvent, and

the placement of statutory requirements

for adoption by reference for referenced

ASTM methods into a single rule rather

than each individual rule that references

ASTM methods.

Revisions to Subchapter 3D .1401–

.1415; Reasonably Available Control

Technology for Sources of Nitrogen

Oxides (Nox RACT); .1501–.1504

.1603; General Conformity are being

addressed in separate Federal Register

documents.

In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, the EPA is approving

the State’s SIP revision as a direct final

rule without prior proposal because the

EPA 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 this proposed

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. The EPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this document. Any parties

interested in commenting on this

document should do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments

must be received by June 24, 1996.
