Title: Importation of Gypsy Moth Host Material From Canada
CFR: 7 CFR Part 319
Summary: We are adopting as a final rule, with minor changes discussed
in this document, an interim rule that established regulations for the
importation into the United States of gypsy moth host materials from
Canada due to infestations of gypsy moth in the Provinces of British
Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec. The rule
requires trees without roots (e.g., Christmas trees), trees with roots,
shrubs with roots and persistent woody stems, logs and pulpwood with
bark attached, outdoor household articles, and mobile homes and their
associated equipment to meet specified certification or destination
requirements if they are intended to be moved into or through areas of
the United States that are not infested with gypsy moth. This action is
necessary to prevent the introduction of gypsy moth into noninfested
areas of the United States.
Action: Final rule.

Title: Raising the Threshold of Property Damage for Reports of Accidents
Involving Recreational Vessels
CFR: 33 CFR Part 173
Summary: The Coast Guard proposes to raise the threshold of property
damage for reports of accidents involving recreational vessels to
$2,000 for Calendar Year 2001. We have also modified the methodology
used to achieve the threshold, to better account for the rising cost of
repairs on recreational vessels. This higher threshold would reduce the
number of accident reports for minor or cosmetic damage, help us
maintain statistics for future years comparable to those for past ones,
and reduce the paperwork burden on the public to report such incidents.
Action: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
Date-Time: Comments must reach the Docket Management Facility on or before
October 18, 2000.

Title: Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Common Carrier and Private
Operational Fixed Microwave Rules
CFR: 47 CFR Parts 24, 25, 74, 78, 90 and 101
Summary: In this document, the Commission proposes to eliminate
regulations that are duplicative, outmoded, or otherwise unnecessary.
Similarly, the Commission proposes to consolidate and/or streamline
rules concerning wireless radio services to remove duplication. We seek
to further the work begun by the consolidation of parts 21 and 94 into
a single part 101 Order in our implementation of a Universal Licensing
System (ULS) for wireless application. The new consolidated part 101
reduces or eliminates the differences in processing applications from
common carriers and private operational fixed microwave service
licensees, and furthers regulatory parity between these microwave
services.
Once fully deployed, the ULS will eliminate the need for wireless
carriers to file duplicative applications, and will increase the
accuracy and reliability of licensing information.
Action: Proposed rule.
Date-Time: Comments are due July 20, 2000. Reply Comment August 4, 2000.

Title: United States Standards for Dry Whey
Summary: The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) of the Department of
Agriculture (USDA) is soliciting comments on its proposal to change the
United States Standards for Dry Whey. AMS is proposing changes that
would lower the bacterial estimate of not more than 50,000 per gram to
not more than 30,000 per gram, incorporate maximum scorched particle
content as a requirement for U.S. grade, and expand the Test Methods
section to allow product evaluation using the latest methods included
in Standard Methods for Examination of Dairy Products, in the Official
Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists,
and in standards developed by the International Dairy Federation. These
changes are being proposed to strengthen the quality requirements of
this Standard to reflect improvements that have occurred in dry whey
quality since the Standards were last reviewed. AMS is also proposing
editorial changes to provide consistency with other dry milk standards.
USDA grade standards are voluntary standards. Manufacturers of dairy
products are free to choose whether or not to use these voluntary grade
standards. USDA grade standards have been developed to identify degrees
of quality in various dairy products. Quality in general refers to
usefulness, desirability, and value of the product or its marketability
as a commodity.

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Title: Adequacy Status of Chicago, IL, Northwest Indiana, IN, and
Milwaukee, WI in Submitted Ozone Attainment Demonstrations for
Transportation Conformity Purposes
Summary: In this document, EPA is notifying the public that EPA has
found that the motor vehicle emissions budgets in each of the three
Lake Michigan area ozone attainment demonstrations are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes. The three areas affected are:
Chicago, Illinois; Northwest Indiana (Lake and Porter Counties),
Indiana, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On March 2, 1999, the D.C. Circuit
Court ruled that submitted State Implementation Plans (SIPs) cannot be
used for transportation conformity determinations until EPA has
affirmatively found the motor vehicle emission budgets adequate. We
have made that finding in letters to the States affected and are
providing notice to the public in this Federal Register. As a result of
our finding, Chicago, Northwest Indiana and Milwaukee can use the motor
vehicle emissions budgets from their submitted ozone attainment
demonstrations for future transportation conformity determinations. The
motor vehicle emissions budgets are for two pollutants, volatile
organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), that combine to
form ground level-ozone. Ozone can cause inflamation of the lungs,
decrease lung capacity, and aggravate asthma. These budgets are
effective July 5, 2000.
Action: Notice of adequacy.
