Semiannual Regulatory Agenda
AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board.
ACTION: Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Chairman of the Surface Transportation Board is publishing
the Regulatory Flexibility Agenda for fall 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A contact person is identified for
each of the rules listed below.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq., sets forth several requirements for agency
rulemaking. Among other things, the RFA requires that, semiannually,
each agency shall publish in the Federal Register a Regulatory
Flexibility Agenda, which shall contain:
(1) A brief description of the subject area of any rule that the
agency expects to propose or promulgate, which is likely to have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
(2) A summary of the nature of any such rule under consideration
for each subject area listed in the agenda pursuant to paragraph (1),
the objectives and legal basis for the issuance of the rule, and an
approximate schedule for completing action on any rule for which the
agency has issued a general notice of proposed rulemaking; and
(3) The name and telephone number of an agency official
knowledgeable about the items listed in paragraph (1).
Accordingly, a list of proceedings appears below containing
information about subject areas in which the Board is currently
conducting rulemaking proceedings or may institute such proceedings
soon. It also contains information about existing regulations being
reviewed to determine whether to propose modifications through
rulemaking.
The agenda represents the Chairman's best estimate of rules that
may be considered over the next 12 months but does not necessarily
reflect the views of any other individual Board Member. However,
section 602(d) of the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 602(d), provides: ``Nothing in
[section 602] precludes an agency from considering or acting on any
matter not included in a Regulatory Flexibility Agenda or requires an
agency to consider or act on any matter listed in such agenda.''
The Chairman is publishing the agency's Regulatory Flexibility
Agenda for fall 2021 as part of the Unified Agenda of Federal
Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Unified Agenda). The Unified
Agenda is coordinated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB),
pursuant to Executive Orders 12866 and 13563. The Board is
participating voluntarily in the program to assist OMB and has included
rulemaking proceedings in the Unified Agenda beyond those required by
the RFA.
Dated: September 10, 2021.
By the Board, Martin J. Oberman.
Andrea Pope-Matheson,
Clearance Clerk.
