  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-21-E6-21512</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This proposal would enhance the security of our Nation's rail 
transportation system. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) 
proposes security requirements for freight railroad carriers; 
intercity, commuter, and shorthaul passenger train service providers; 
rail transit systems; and rail operations at certain, fixedsite 
facilities that ship or receive specified hazardous materials by rail. 
This rule proposes to codify the scope of TSA's existing inspection 
program and to require regulated parties to allow TSA and Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS) officials to enter, inspect, and test property, 
facilities, and records relevant to rail security. This rule also 
proposes that regulated parties designate rail security coordinators  and report significant security concerns to DHS.</p><p>    TSA further proposes that freight rail carriers and certain 
facilities handling hazardous materials be equipped to report location 
and shipping information to TSA upon request and to implement chain of

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-21-E6-21518</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration 
(PHMSA), in consultation with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) 
and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), is proposing to 
revise the current requirements in the Hazardous Materials Regulations 
applicable to the safe and secure transportation of hazardous materials 
transported in commerce by rail. Specifically, we are proposing to 
require rail carriers to compile annual data on specified shipments of 
hazardous materials, use the data to analyze safety and security risks 
along rail transportation routes where those materials are transported, 
assess alternative routing options, and make routing decisions based on 
those assessments. We are also proposing clarifications of the current 
security plan requirements to address en route storage, delays in 
transit, delivery notification, and additional security inspection 
requirements for hazardous materials shipments. In today's edition of 
the Federal Register, TSA is publishin<script type="text/javascript">

  <description><![CDATA[ FMCSA proposes regulations for entities offering intermodal 
chassis to motor carriers for transportation of intermodal containers 
in interstate commerce. As mandated by section 4118 of the Safe, 
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy 
for Users (SAFETEALU), this rulemaking would require intermodal 
equipment providers (IEPs) to register and file with FMCSA an 
Intermodal Equipment Provider Identification Report (Form MCS150C); 
display the USDOT Number, or other unique identifier, on each 
intermodal container chassis offered for transportation in interstate 
commerce; establish a systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance 
program to ensure the safe operating condition of each intermodal 
container chassis; maintain documentation of the program; and provide a 
means to effectively respond to driver and motor carrier reports about 
intermodal container chassis mechanical defects and deficiencies. The 
proposed regulations would for the first time make IEPs subject to the <script type="text/javascript">

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-21-06-9759</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ FMCSA proposes changes to the New Entrant Safety Assurance 
Process that would raise the standard of compliance for passing the new 
entrant safety audit. The agency has identified 11 regulations that it 
believes are essential elements of basic safety management controls 
necessary to operate in interstate commerce and proposes that failure 
to comply with any one of the 11 regulations would result in automatic 
failure of the audit. Under this proposal, carriers would also be 
subject to the current safety audit evaluation criteria in Appendix A 
of part 385. Additionally, if a roadside inspection discloses certain 
violations, the new entrant would be subject to expedited actions to 
correct these deficiencies. The agency proposes to eliminate Form MCS
150ASafety Certification for Application for USDOT Number. The agency 
also intends to check compliance with the Americans with Disabilities 
Act and certain household goodsrelated requirements in the new entrant 
safety audit, if they apply to the new entr<script type="text/javascript">

Under the extension, a nonaccelerated filer is not required to provide

  <description><![CDATA[ The Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) is revising its regulations on 
procedures for reductions in sentence (RIS) for medical reasons. 28 CFR 
Part 571, Subpart G, is currently entitled ``Compassionate Release

reflect our authority under these statutes and our current policy, (2) 
clarify procedures for RIS consideration, and (3) describe procedures 
for RIS consideration of D.C. Code offenders, for whom the Bureau has 
responsibility under the National Capital Revitalization and Self
Government Improvement Act of 1997 (D.C. Revitalization Act), D.C. 
Official Code Sec.  24101(b). The new Subpart G will be entitled 
``Reduction in Sentence for Medical Reasons.''

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-21-E6-21845</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is providing 
public notice that the Secretary of Agriculture has determined the 
costshare payments made under the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Small 
Renewables Initiative Program are primarily for the purpose of 
protecting or restoring the environment. NRCS was assigned technical 
and administrative responsibility for reviewing the Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts' Program and making appropriate recommendations for the 
Secretary's determination of primary purpose. This determination is in 
accordance with Section 126 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as 
amended (26 U.S.C. 126), and permits recipients of costshare payments 
to exclude from gross income to the extent allowed by the Internal 
Revenue Service.

  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS announces that the summer flounder commercial quota 
available to New Jersey has been harvested. Vessels issued a commercial 
Federal fisheries permit for the summer flounder fishery may not land 
summer flounder in New Jersey for the remainder of calendar year 2006, 
unless additional quota becomes available through a transfer from 
another state. Regulations governing the summer flounder fishery 
require publication of this notification to advise New Jersey that the 
quota has been harvested and to advise vessel permit holders and dealer 
permit holders that no commercial quota is available for landing summer 
flounder in New Jersey.

  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS has determined that the daily Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) 
retention limits for the Atlantic tunas General category should be 
adjusted to provide reasonable opportunity to harvest the General 
category January timeperiod subquota. Therefore, NMFS increases the 
daily BFT retention limits for the entire month of January, including 
previously scheduled Restricted Fishing Days (RFDs), to provide 
enhanced commercial General category fishing opportunities in all areas 
while minimizing the risk of an overharvest of the General category BFT 
quota.

  <description><![CDATA[ As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (``Department'') and the International Trade Commission 
(``ITC'') that revocation of the antidumping duty order on silicon 
metal from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') would likely lead 
to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an 
industry in the United States, the Department is publishing this notice 
of continuation of the antidumping duty order.

  <description><![CDATA[ On January 3, 2006, the Department of Commerce initiated and 
the International Trade Commission instituted a sunset review of the 
antidumping duty order on silicon metal from Brazil. As a result of the 
review, the International Trade Commission determined that revocation 
of the order on silicon metal from Brazil would not be likely to lead 
to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. Therefore, the 
Department of Commerce is revoking this antidumping duty order.
