After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that the following listing actions are warranted: We propose to list all three subspecies of the northern giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis)--the West African giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis peralta), the Kordofan giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis antiquorum), and the Nubian giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis)--as endangered species under Act. We also propose to list the reticulated giraffe (Giraffa reticulata) and the Masai giraffe (Giraffa tippelskirchi), both from east Africa, as threatened species with protective regulations issued under section 4(d) of the Act (\"4(d) rule\"). After a thorough review of the best scientific and commercial data available, we find that, based on the Act's section 4(a)(1) factors, it is not warranted at this time to list either subspecies of the southern giraffe (Giraffa giraffa)--the Angolan giraffe (Giraffa giraffa angolensis) and the South African giraffe (Giraffa giraffa giraffa)--but we are proposing, under the authority of section 4(e) of the Act, to treat both of these subspecies as threatened species based on their similarity of appearance to the West African giraffe, Kordofan giraffe, Nubian giraffe, reticulated giraffe, and Masai giraffe. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would add all giraffes to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife, under the authority of either section 4(a)(1) or 4(e) of the Act, and extend the Act's protections to these taxa.","document_number":"2024-26395","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/11/21/2024-26395/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-listing-the-giraffe","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-11-21/pdf/2024-26395.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-26395.pdf?1732110315","publication_date":"2024-11-21","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","id":197,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fish-and-wildlife-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/197","parent_id":253,"slug":"fish-and-wildlife-service"}],"excerpts":"Therefore, we request comments or information from other <span class=\"match\">governmental</span> agencies (including foreign <span class=\"match\">governments</span> within the range of any giraffe species), Native American Tribes, the scientific community, industry, or any other interested parties concerning this proposed rule.

The Commission is proposing to simultaneously establish position limits and limit formulas for certain physical commodity futures and option contracts executed pursuant to the rules of designated contract markets (\"DCM\") and physical commodity swaps that are economically equivalent to such DCM contracts. In compliance with the requirements of the Dodd- Frank Act, the CFTC is also proposing aggregate position limits that would apply across different trading venues to contracts based on the same underlying commodity. The Commission is proposing to establish position limits in two phases: The first phase would involve adopting current DCM spot-month limits, while the second phase would involve establishing non-spot-month limits based on open interest levels as well as establishing Commission-determined spot-month limits. The proposal includes exemptions for bona fide hedging transactions and for positions that are established in good faith prior to the effective date of specific limits that could be adopted pursuant to final regulations. This notice of rulemaking also proposes new account aggregation standards, visibility regulations that are similar to current reporting obligations for large bona fide hedgers, and new regulations establishing requirements and standards for position limits and accountability rules that are implemented by registered entities. The Commission solicits comment on any aspect of the proposal. The Commission also solicits comment on particular issues throughout the preamble.","document_number":"2011-1154","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/01/26/2011-1154/position-limits-for-derivatives","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-01-26/pdf/2011-1154.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2011-01-26","agencies":[{"raw_name":"COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION","name":"Commodity Futures Trading Commission","id":77,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commodity-futures-trading-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/77","parent_id":null,"slug":"commodity-futures-trading-commission"}],"excerpts":"contained in a <span class=\"match\">government</span> system of records pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974.\n 51 \n \n \n \n \n 50 \n  7 U.S.C. 12(a)(1).\n \n \n \n \n 51 \n  5 U.S.C. 552a.\n \n \n \n Under the proposed regulations, market participants with positions in referenced contracts, as defined in proposed § 151.2, would be subject to the position limit framework established by proposed part 151.

We are proposing to establish criteria for foreign ``regions'' based on risk class levels. The criteria would be used to establish importation requirements for particular animals and animal products from different regions outside of the United States. We believe this change is in accordance with international trade agreements entered into by the United States. We are also proposing to allow, under certain conditions, the unloading and reloading at the port of arrival of meat and other animal products otherwise prohibited entry into the United States.

This action clarifies aspects of the regulation as provided under section 604 and 606 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA). To ensure an orderly phaseout of the production and consumption of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform and hydrobromofluorocarbons in 1996, and of halons after 1994, this action alters the administrative requirements of the regulations so companies may continue to produce for special exempted uses. Today's action also clarifies administrative procedures to improve the efficiency of current reporting requirements and to reduce the burden on the affected companies. These actions continue to ensure compliance with Title VI of the CAA in a manner consistent with the United States' obligations under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, as amended. Specifically, EPA changes the requirements for the post-phaseout period for transformation and destruction of ozone-depleting substances; establishes the framework for the post-phaseout production of exempted essential uses; revises the controls for imports of controlled substances that are used or recycled; eases the requirements for exporting substances to Article 5 countries; changes the allowance requirements for exports of ozone-depleting substances; clarifies the requirements for heels remaining in containers that are returning to the U.S.; provides a period of reconciliation in which allowance balances may be adjusted; and simplifies the recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The changes made in this rule ease the burden on industry, and will therefore limit the negative economic impact associated with the regulations previously promulgated under Sections 604 and 606, while maintaining the environmental benefits of the accelerated phaseout.","document_number":"95-10616","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/05/10/95-10616/protection-of-stratospheric-ozone-administrative-changes-to-final-rule-to-phase-out-ozone-depleting","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-05-10/pdf/95-10616.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"1995-05-10","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"excerpts":"January 1, 1996\n    1.
