Semiannual Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: This notice provides the semiannual agenda of rules scheduled 
for review or development between fall 2007 and spring 2008. The 
Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order 12866 require 
publication of the agenda.

ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated, all Agency Contacts are located 
at the Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street NW., Washington, DC 
20240.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You should direct all comments and 
inquiries with regard to these rules to the appropriate Agency Contact. 
You should direct general comments relating to the agenda to the Office 
of Executive Secretariat, Department of the Interior, at the address 
above or at 202-208-3071 or 202-208-3181.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With this publication, the Department 
satisfies the requirement of Executive Order 12866 that the Department 
publish an agenda of rules that we have issued or expect to issue and 
of currently effective rules that we have scheduled for review.

     Simultaneously, the Department meets the requirement of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq) to publish an 
agenda in April and October of each year identifying rules that 
will have significant economic effects on a substantial number of 
small entities. We have specifically identified in the agenda rules 
that will have such effects.

     For this edition of the Department of Interior's regulatory 
agenda, the most important significant regulatory actions and a 
Statement of Regulatory Priorities are included in The Regulatory 
Plan, which appears in both the online Unified Agenda and in part 
II of the Federal Register that includes the Unified Agenda.

     Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the Internet will be the 
basic means for disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete 
Unified Agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov, in a 
format that offers users a greatly enhanced ability to obtain 
information from the Agenda database.

     Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for 
the regulatory flexibility agendas required by the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), Department of Interior's printed 
agenda entries include only:

 (1) rules that are in the Agency's regulatory flexibility agenda, in 
accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are likely 
to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities; and

 (2) any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review under 
section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

     Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain 
information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's Agenda 
requirements. Additional information on these entries is available 
in the Unified Agenda published on the Internet. In addition, for 
fall editions of the Agenda, the entireRegulatory Plan will 
continue to be printed in the Federal Register, as in past years, 
including the Department of the Interior's regulatory plan.

Dated:  September 20, 2007.

 John A. Strylowski,

Alternate Federal Register Liaison Officer.
