Title 18, Code of Federal Regulations, as follows:

PART 388—INFORMATION AND REQUESTS

I 1. The authority citation for part 388 continues to read as follows:

Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301–305, 551, 552 (as amended), 553–557; 42 U.S.C. 7101–7352.

I 2. In § 388.113, paragraphs (c)(1), (d)(3)(i), and (d)(3)(ii) are revised to read as follows:

§ 388.113 Accessing critical energy infrastructure information.

- - - (c) * - (1) Critical energy infrastructure information means specific engineering, vulnerability, or detailed design information about proposed or existing critical infrastructure that:

(i) Relates details about the production, generation, transportation, transmission, or distribution of energy;

(ii) Could be useful to a person in planning an attack on critical infrastructure;

(iii) Is exempt from mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552; and

(iv) Does not simply give the general location of the critical infrastructure.

- - - (d) * - (3) * - (i) File a signed, written request with the Commission’s CEII Coordinator. The request must contain the following: Requester’s name (including any other name(s) which the requester has used and the dates the requester used such name(s)), date and place of birth, title, address, and telephone number; the name, address, and telephone number of the person or entity on whose behalf the information is requested; a detailed statement explaining the particular need for and intended use of the information; and a statement as to the requester’s willingness to adhere to limitations on the use and disclosure of the information requested. A requester must also file an executed non-disclosure agreement. Requesters are also requested to include their social security number for identification purposes.

(ii) Once the request is received, the CEII Coordinator will determine if the information is CEII, and, if it is, whether to release the CEII to the requester. The CEII Coordinator will balance the requester’s need for the information against the sensitivity of the information. If the requester is determined to be eligible to receive the information requested, the CEII

Coordinator will determine what conditions, if any, to place on release of the information. The CEII Coordinator’s decisions regarding release of CEII are subject to rehearing as provided in § 385.713 of this chapter. Copies of requests for rehearing of the CEII Coordinator’s decision must be served on the CEII Coordinator and the Associate General Counsel for General Law.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 191 / Tuesday, October 3, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 58277

Review, section 1(b), Principles of Regulation. This rule is limited to agency organization, management, and personnel as described by Executive Order 12866 section 3(d)(3) and, therefore, is not a ‘‘regulation’’ or ‘‘rule’’ as defined by that Executive Order. Accordingly, this action has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.

Executive Order 13132—Federalism

This regulation will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is determined that this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Executive Order 12988—Civil Justice Reform

This regulation meets the applicable standards set forth in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1955

This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any one year, and it will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.

Congressional Review Act

This action pertains to agency management, personnel and organizations and does not substantially affect the rights or obligations of nonagency parties and, accordingly, is not a ‘‘rule’’ as that term is used by the Congressional Review Act (Subtitle E of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA)). Therefore, the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C. section 801 does not apply.

List of Subjects in 28 CFR Part 16

Administrative Practices and Procedures, Courts, Freedom of Information, Sunshine Act and Privacy.

I Pursuant to the authority vested in the Attorney General by 5 U.S.C. 552a and delegated to me by Attorney General Order 793–78, title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations is amended as follows:

On page 42051, column 2, in the preamble under the paragraph heading ‘‘Special Rules for Determining Applicability of Mandatory Flat Rate Withholding’’, lines 2 and 3 from the top of the column, the language, ‘‘the final regulations and the revenue procedure provide employers with a’’ is corrected to read ‘‘the final regulations provide employers with a’’.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

28 CFR Part 16

[AAG/A Order No. 015–2006]

Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation

AGENCY: Department of Justice.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule amends part 16 of title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the applicability of Privacy Act Systems of Records Notices and any associated exemptions to the newly established National Security Division (NSD) at the Department of Justice. The National Security Division was created by section 506 of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005, by consolidating the resources of the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review (OIPR) and the Criminal Division’s Counterterrorism and Counterespionage Sections. Therefore, Privacy Act Systems of Records Notices and any associated exemptions that applied to OIPR and the Criminal Division’s Counterterrorism and Counterespionage Sections, are adopted by and applicable to the NSD until modified, superseded, or revoked in accordance with law.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective October 3, 2006

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Cahill, Justice Management Division, U.S. Department of Justice, 1331 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Suite 1400, Washington, DC 20530; Telephone: (202) 307–1823.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because OIPR is transferring in its entirety to NSD, all the Privacy Act Systems of Records Notices and exemptions that applied to OIPR are adopted by and now apply to NSD. As a result of the transfer of the Criminal Division’s Counterterrorism and Counterespionage

Sections to NSD, the following Privacy Act System of Records Notice and associated exemptions are adopted by and apply to NSD: ‘‘Central Criminal Division Index File and Associated Records, JUSTICE/CRM–001’’ (to the extent that subject matters therein are transferred to the jurisdiction of NSD), 63 FR 8659 (February 20, 1998), as amended in part by 66 FR 17200 (March 29, 2001), (this notice and associated exemptions continue to apply to the Criminal Division as well). The notices for the following nonexempt Systems of Records are also adopted by and apply to NSD: ‘‘Registration and Propaganda Files Under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, as amended, JUSTICE/CRM–017’’ 53 FR 16794 (May 11, 1988), and ‘‘Registration Files of Individuals Who Have Knowledge of or Have Received Instruction or Assignment in Espionage, Counterespionage, or Sabotage Service or Tactics of a Foreign Government or of a Foreign Political Party, JUSTICE/ CRM–018’’ 52 FR 47197 (December 11, 1987). No substantive changes are being made to the Privacy Act Systems of Records Notices and associated exemptions at this time, and the adoption by and continued applicability of the notices and exemptions to NSD will not add or remove any substantive rights or obligations of the public.

Administrative Procedure Act—5 U.S.C. 553

This rule is a rule of agency organization and relates to a matter relating to agency management and is therefore exempt from the requirements of prior notice and comment and a 30day delay in the effective date. See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2), 553(b)(3)(A).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Attorney General, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has reviewed this regulation and by approving it certifies that this regulation will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it pertains to personnel and administrative matters affecting the Department. Further, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis was not required to be prepared for this final rule since the Department was not required to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking for this matter.

Executive Order 12866—Regulatory Planning and Review

This action has been drafted and reviewed in accordance with Executive Order 12866 Regulatory Planning and
