Background On October 7, 2002, at 67 FR 62370, the FHWA, jointly with the FTA, issued a final rule to provide the New York City metropolitan area additional time to review and update its transportation plan by waiving the regulatory requirement for a triennial plan update for the New York City metropolitan area for up to three years, until September 30, 2005. This action was necessary because the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Council’s (NYMTC) offices were destroyed by the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, and without this waiver, Federal highway and transit funding could be disrupted after September 30, 2002. The purpose of this notice is to correct the docket number to the final rule. The correct docket number for the final rule is FHWA–2001–10836.
Authority: 23 U.S.C. 134, 135, 217(g), 315; 42 U.S.C. 7410 et seq.; 49 U.S.C. 5303–5306; 49 CFR 1.48(b) and 1.51.

Metropolitan Transportation Planning and Programming Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT. ACTION: Correction to final rule.
AGENCY: SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error in the FHWA final rule, published jointly with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), on October 7, 2002, at 67 FR 62370. The final rule amends the regulation on Planning and Assistance Standards that govern the development of transportation plans and programs for urbanized (metropolitan) areas. The FTA has codified the FHWA regulations for Metropolitan Transportation Planning and Programming into its regulations at 49 CFR 613 and joins the FHWA in making this change. The final rule provides the New York City metropolitan area additional time to
Background and Explanation of Provisions Section 274(d) provides that a taxpayer is not allowed a deduction or credit for certain expenses unless the expense is substantiated. These substantiation requirements apply to deductions under section 162 or 212 for any traveling expense (including meals and lodging) while away from home. Under section 274(d), the Secretary may issue regulations that provide that some or all of the substantiation requirements will not apply to expenses that do not exceed a prescribed amount. Section 1.274–5(j)(1) of the regulations permits the Commissioner to establish a method under which a taxpayer may substantiate the amount of meal expenses paid or incurred while traveling away from home by means of
an allowance in lieu of substantiating the actual cost of meals. Under this authority, the Commissioner has provided a method for taxpayers to substantiate deductible costs of business meal and incidental expenses while away from home by means of an allowance. See Rev. Proc. 2001–47 (2001–42 I.R.B. 332). These temporary regulations amend § 1.274– 5T to authorize the Commissioner to establish a method under which a taxpayer may substantiate the amount of incidental expenses paid or incurred while traveling away from home by means of an allowance in lieu of substantiating the actual cost. The taxpayer will not be relieved of the requirement to substantiate the actual cost of other travel expenses as well as the time, place and business purpose of the travel. Special Analyses It has been determined that this Treasury decision is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It is hereby certified that these regulations will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This certification is based upon the fact that these regulations do not require a collection of information and do not impose any new or different requirements on small entities. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, these temporary regulations will be submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on their impact. Drafting Information The principal author of these regulations is John Moriarty, Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Income Tax & Accounting). However, other personnel from the IRS and Treasury Department participated in their development. List of Subjects in 26 CFR Part 1 Income taxes, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Sale and Issue of Marketable BookEntry Treasury Bills, Notes, and Bonds; Reporting of Net Long Position and Application of the 35 Percent Limit Bureau of the Public Debt, Fiscal Service, Department of the Treasury. ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury (‘‘Treasury,’’ ‘‘We,’’ or ‘‘Us’’) is issuing in final form an amendment to the regulation ‘‘Uniform Offering Circular for the Sale and Issue of Marketable Book-Entry Treasury Bills, Notes, and Bonds.’’ This amendment modifies the net long position (‘‘NLP’’) reporting threshold for all Treasury marketable securities auctions. The threshold, currently $1 billion for Treasury bill auctions and $2 billion for Treasury note auctions, is being changed to 35 percent of the offering amount in each auction. This modification will reduce the number of auction bidders that are required to report their NLPs, while ensuring that we can still effectively administer the 35 percent award limit. The amendment also incorporates certain changes in Treasury’s marketable securities auction program that have already been implemented. First, the amendment modifies the competitive bid format for auctions of Treasury cash management bills to conform to a policy change that was made in April 2002. The current twodecimal bid format is being changed to three decimals in .005 percent increments, which is the format in all other Treasury bill auctions. Second, the amendment makes several changes to reflect the current treatment in all Treasury marketable securities auctions of bids from Federal Reserve Banks for their own accounts and for the accounts of foreign and international monetary authorities. Specifically, the amendment deletes the defined term ‘‘public offering,’’ adds ‘‘offering amount’’ as a new defined term, revises the definition of ‘‘bid-tocover ratio,’’ and makes conforming changes within the text of the Uniform Offering Circular. These changes make the terminology consistent between the Uniform Offering Circular and auction offering announcements. EFFECTIVE DATE: December 12, 2002.
