of the Code of Federal Regulations administered by the Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS). Further, this rule organizes the part's
sections into subparts and adds designated subpart headings. This
action is intended to make the part more readable and easier to amend
in the future. Finally, these revisions are made to conform to Office
of the Federal Register formatting requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule makes technical amendments
to regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Part 201 of
Title 9 of the CFR contains regulations that effectuate the Packers and
Stockyards Act, 1921 (7 U.S.C. 181 et seq.). 9 CFR 201 is divided into
several sections that are currently grouped under undesignated center
headings. AMS has determined that reorganizing the part into subparts
and adding designated subpart headings will make the part more readable
and facilitate future amendatory actions. Further, AMS is revising
headings in part 201 to conform with nomenclature guidelines
established by the Office of the Federal Register. This rule falls
within a category of regulatory actions that the Office of Management
and Budget exempted from Executive Order 12866 review.
The notice and comment requirements in the Administrative Procedure
Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553) apply to rules as defined in 5 U.S.C. 551
(``the whole or a part of an agency statement of general or particular
applicability and future effect designed to implement, interpret, or
prescribe law or policy or describing the organization, procedure, or
practice requirements of an agency and includes the approval or
prescription for the future of rates, wages, corporate or financial
structures or reorganizations thereof, prices, facilities, appliances,
services or allowances therefor or of valuations, costs, or accounting,
or practices bearing on any of the foregoing''). This final rule is
limited to reorganizing Part 201 into subparts and adding designated
subpart headings. It does not create new or amend existing requirements
or interpretations. Thus, AMS has determined that this final rule is
not a rule subject to the notice and comment requirements of 5 U.S.C.
553. Additionally, to the extent that this final rule is subject to
this section, AMS has determined that there is good cause for making
this technical amendment final without prior proposal and opportunity
for comment because the revisions are not substantive and will have no
impact on the regulatory requirements in the affected part. AMS has
determined that public comment on such administrative changes is
unnecessary and that there is good cause under the APA for proceeding
with a final rule.
Further, because a notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity
for public comment are not required to be given for this rule under the
APA or any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Accordingly,
this rule is issued in final form. Although there is no formal comment
period, public comments on this rule are welcome on an ongoing basis.
Comments should be submitted to the address or email under the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT caption.
