Effective on December 18, 2008. Carey Jones, (202) 606-2858. Changes in Pay Administration Rules for General Schedule Employees; Correction, article Rules and Regulations D09002ee1809c3295 D09002ee1809c337e United States Department of Agriculture originator org United States Government Agency or Subagency United States Food and Nutrition Service originator org United States Government Agency or Subagency This interim rule implements provisions of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 relating to verification of applications approved for free or reduced price meals in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. This interim rule includes changes to sample sizes for local education agencies (school districts) when conducting verification which include alternatives when there is an increase in the number of responses to the requests for verification; direct verification provisions which allow the local educational agency to contact means- tested programs to verify the information on applications without contacting the applicant household for documentation; and revised deadlines for completion of verification efforts. This interim rule also establishes a standard sample size of three percent for local educational agencies that do not qualify for use of an alternative sample size. The direct verification provision will reduce the number of households that must be contacted to submit documentation. This interim rule incorporates other statutory changes designed to assist households in completing the verification process. These changes require the local educational agency to have a telephone number that households may call, without charge, for questions about verification. The local educational agency must also make at least one attempt to follow-up with households selected for verification prior to denying benefits when the household fails to respond. There is also a provision that gives local education agencies the discretion to replace selected applications when households are deemed unlikely to respond to the verification request. These are safeguards to avoid termination of a child's benefits due to misunderstandings or other difficulties that may preclude households from effectively complying with the verification request. The changes made in this interim rule are intended to enhance verification efforts which will improve the accuracy of benefit distribution. 73 FR 76847 http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/FR-2008-12-18/E8-29904 E8-29904 fr18de08-2 RIN 0584-AD61 3410-30-P FNS-2007-0024 http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/FR-2008-12-18/E8-29904/content-detail.html http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2008-12-18/html/E8-29904.htm http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2008-12-18/pdf/E8-29904.pdf Children Civil rights Commodity School Program Food assistance programs Grant programs-education Grant programs-health Grants programs-social programs Infants and children Milk National School Lunch Program Nutrition Reporting and recordkeeping requirements School breakfast and lunch programs Surplus agricultural commodities 17 p. 76847 76863 73 FR 76847 Title 7 Part 210 Title 7 Part 245 7 CFR Part 210 7 CFR Part 245 RIN 0584-AD61 Verification of Eligibility for Free and Reduced Price Meals in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; Federal Register Vol. 73, Issue RULE E8-29904 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Food and Nutrition Service FNS-2007-0024 3410-30-P E8-29904 Interim rule.

The final rule removes certain limitations on H-2A employers and adopts streamlining measures in order to encourage and facilitate the lawful employment of foreign temporary and seasonal agricultural workers. The final rule also addresses concerns regarding the integrity of the H-2A program and sets forth several conditions to prevent fraud and to protect laborers' rights.

This rule adopts, without substantial change, the proposed rule under which a grant of voluntary departure is automatically withdrawn upon the filing of a motion to reopen or reconsider with the immigration judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) or a petition for review in a federal court of appeals.

The Department of Justice is publishing this final rule to amend the regulations regarding voluntary departure. This rule adopts, without substantial change, the proposed rule under which a grant of voluntary departure is automatically withdrawn upon the filing of a motion to reopen or reconsider with the immigration judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) or a petition for review in a federal court of appeals. This final rule adopts, with some modification, the proposed rule under which an immigration judge will set a presumptive civil monetary penalty of $3,000 if the alien fails to depart within the time allowed. However, this rule adopts only in part the proposals to amend the provisions relating to the voluntary departure bond. Finally, this rule adopts the notice advisals in the proposed rule and incorporates additional notice requirements in light of public comments.

In addition, this final rule provides a limited administrative reporting exemption in certain cases from requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, also known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. Specifically, the administrative reporting exemption applies to releases of hazardous substances to the air that meet or exceed their reportable quantity where the source of those hazardous substances is animal waste at farms. Nothing in this final rule changes the notification requirements if hazardous substances are released to the air from any source other than animal waste at farms (e.g., ammonia tanks), or if any hazardous substances from animal waste are released to any other environmental media, (e.g., soil, ground water, or surface water) when the release of those hazardous substances is at or above its reportable quantity. Also, the administrative reporting exemption under section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, does not limit any of the Agency's other authorities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act sections 104 (response authorities), 106 (abatement actions), 107 (liability), or any other provisions of the Comprehensive Emergency Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act. Accordingly, EPA believes this administrative reporting exemption not only leaves in place important Agency response authorities that can be used to protect human health and the environment if needed, but also is consistent with the Agency's goal to reduce reporting burden, particularly considering that Federal, State or local response officials are unlikely to respond to notifications of air releases of hazardous substances from animal waste at farms. 73 FR 76948 http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/FR-2008-12-18/E8-30003 E8-30003 fr18de08-14 RIN 2050-AG37 6560-50-P EPA-HQ-SFUND-2007-0469 http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/FR-2008-12-18/E8-30003/content-detail.html http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2008-12-18/html/E8-30003.htm http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2008-12-18/pdf/E8-30003.pdf Air pollution control Chemicals Disaster assistance Hazardous substances Hazardous waste Intergovernmental relations Natural resources Penalties Reporting and recordkeeping requirements Superfund Water pollution control Water supply 13 p. 76948 76960 73 FR 76948 Title 40 Part 302 Title 40 Part 355 40 CFR Part 302 40 CFR Part 355 RIN 2050-AG37 CERCLA/EPCRA Administrative Reporting Exemption for Air Releases of Hazardous Substances From Animal Waste at Farms; Federal Register Vol. 73, Issue RULE E8-30003 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2009-01-20 EPA-HQ-SFUND-2007-0469 FRL-8753-9 6560-50-P E8-30003 Final rule.

The proposed regulations would enable the continuation of customary and traditional subsistence uses of migratory birds in Alaska and prescribe regional information on when and where the harvesting of birds may occur.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or we) proposes migratory bird subsistence harvest regulations in Alaska for the 2009 season. The proposed regulations would enable the continuation of customary and traditional subsistence uses of migratory birds in Alaska and prescribe regional information on when and where the harvesting of birds may occur. These proposed regulations were developed under a co- management process involving the Service, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and Alaska Native representatives. The rulemaking is necessary because the regulations governing the subsistence harvest of migratory birds in Alaska are subject to annual review. This rulemaking proposes region-specific regulations that would go into effect on April 2, 2009, and expire on August 31, 2009.

We will accept comments received or postmarked on or before January 20, 2009.
