As a result of this final rule, with limited exceptions discussed below, beginning January 23, 2007, all United States citizens and nonimmigrant aliens from Canada, Bermuda, and Mexico departing from or entering the United States from within the Western Hemisphere at air portsofentry will be required to present a valid passport.

Public Housing Operating Fund Program; Revised Transition Funding Provision for Federal Fiscal Year 2007

Fri, Nov 24 2006 11:00:00 GMT

This proposed rule would modify HUD's regulations for transition funding under the Operating Fund Program. The Operating Fund Program, as revised by a September 19, 2005, final rule, adopted a new formula for determining the payment of operating subsidy to public housing agencies (PHAs). Transition funding is based on the difference in subsidy levels between the new formula and the formula in effect prior to the implementation of the September 19, 2005, final rule. As a result of the new formula PHAs may experience either an increase or decrease in the amount of funding that they receive. This proposed rule would revise the transitionfunding schedule for those PHAs that will experience a decline in funding. For federal fiscal year (FFY) 2007 only, the transition funding percentage loss for all PHAs will be capped at five percent of the difference between the two funding levels.

Public Housing Operating Fund Program; Revised Transition Funding Schedule for Fiscal Year 2008 Through Fiscal Year

Fri, Nov 24 2006 11:00:00 GMT

This proposed rule would modify HUD's regulations for transition funding under the Operating Fund Program. The Operating Fund Program, as revised by a September 19, 2005, final rule, adopted a new formula for determining the payment of operating subsidy to public housing agencies (PHAs). Transition funding is based on the difference in subsidy levels between the new formula and the formula in effect prior to the implementation of the September 19, 2005, final rule. As a result of the new formula, PHAs may experience either an increase or decrease in the amount of funding that they receive. For PHAs experiencing a decline in operating subsidy as a result of the new formula, the September 19, 2005, final rule phases in the reduction over a period of years. This proposed rule would revise the schedule for those PHAs that will experience a decline in funding, by extending the transition phasein period an additional year.

Registered Traveler Interoperability Pilot Fees

Fri, Nov 24 2006 11:00:00 GMT

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announces the establishment of the Service Provider Key Personnel Fee and the Registered Traveler Interoperability Pilot Participant Fee for the Registered Traveler Interoperability Pilot (RTIP).

TSA currently is testing a pilot of the Registered Traveler program at Orlando International Airport. In the near future, TSA will begin the RTIP to test interoperability and other features of the program at selected airports. The Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2006 directs TSA to impose fees for the Registered Traveler Program by notice.

Community Reinvestment Act--Interagency Uniformity

Fri, Nov 24 2006 11:00:00 GMT

In this notice of proposed rulemaking (proposal), OTS is proposing changes to its Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations in four areas to reestablish uniformity between its regulations and those of the other Federal banking agencies. OTS is proposing revisions to its CRA rule to promote consistency and help facilitate objective evaluations of CRA performance across the banking and thrift industries. Consistent standards could allow the public to make more effective comparisons of bank and thrift CRA performance.

To advance these objectives OTS is proposing to align its CRA rule with the rule adopted by the banking agencies by: (1) Eliminating the option of alternative weights for lending, investment, and service under the large, retail savings association test; (2) defining small savings associations with between $250 million and $1 billion in assets as ``intermediate small savings associations'' and establishing a new [[Page 67827]]

The Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway Company-- Abandonment Exemption--in Roane County, TN

Fri, Nov 24 2006 11:00:00 GMT

On November 6, 2006, The Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway Company (CNOTP), a wholly owned subsidiary of Norfolk Southern Railway Company, filed with the Board a petition under 49 U.S.C. 10502 for exemption from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10903 to abandon an approximately 1.10mile line of railroad extending from milepost 156.9 H to milepost 158.0H in Rockwood, Roane County, TN.\1\ The line traverses United States Postal Service Zip Code 37854 and serves the station at Rockwood, where CNOTP will continue to provide rail service. \1\ On August 15, 2005, CNOTP filed a petition for exemption to abandon this same line based solely on the proposition that there was no need for continued operations over the line because no shipper would lose any service it required. CNOTP did not attempt to justify that petition based on operating losses. When a shipper on the line, Horsehead Corp. (Horsehead), opposed the abandonment, the Board denied the petition without prejudice to the subse

The NRC intends to issue security Orders to this licensee in the near future. The Orders will require compliance with specific Additional Security Measures to enhance the security for transport of certain radioactive material quantities of concern. The Commission has determined that these documents will contain Safeguards Information, will not be released to the public, and must be protected from unauthorized disclosure. Therefore, the Commission is imposing the requirements, as set forth in Attachments 1 and 2 to this Order and in Order EA06244, so that the affected Licensee can receive these documents.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Definition of ``Motorcycle''; Denial of Petition for Rulemaking

Fri, Nov 24 2006 11:00:00 GMT

This document denies a petition for rulemaking from GG Quad North America requesting that NHTSA redefine the term ``motorcycle'' so that the vehicle it seeks to import and sell, a fourwheeled vehicle with a motorcyclelike body, would be classified as a motorcycle and thus be subject to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSSs) for motorcycles. Currently, the petitioner's vehicle is classified as a passenger car. Since the initial FMVSSs were issued in 1967, the term ``motorcycle'' has been defined to exclude motor vehicles designed to travel on four wheels in contact with the ground.

NHTSA is denying the petition because the petitioner has not shown that redefining ``motorcycle'' to include the petitioner's vehicle would be consistent with the safety purposes of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Denial of the petition means that the petitioner's vehicle will remain classified as a passenger car. Before it can be imported, offered for sale or sold in the United Stat
