Changes to the Federal Register for July 11, 2007

Judicial Administration 28 CFR 43-END
Part 552 - This document adopts as final a Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposed rule on searches of inmates, housing units, and inmate work areas with respect to the use of electronic devices.

We intend this change to provide for the continued efficient and secure operation of the institution and prevent the introduction of contraband into Bureau institutions. [72 FR 37630]

Air Programs 40 CFR 1-69
Part 62 - EPA is notifying the public that it has received negative declarations for other solid waste incinerator (OSWI) units from the States of Delaware, and West Virginia.
