RIN 1024-AE84
National Capital Region; Change of Address
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Park Service amends the special regulations for
the National Capital Region to change the street address for the
Division of Permits Management.
DATES: This rule is effective on May 18, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robbin Owen, Chief, Division of
Permits Management, National Capital Region, National Park Service;
phone: (202) 359-1459; email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#fe8c919c9c9790a191899b90be908e8dd0999188"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="186a777a7a717647776f7d765876686b367f776e">[email protected]</span></a>. Individuals in the
United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a
speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside the United
States should use the relay services offered within their country to
make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule updates National Park Service
(NPS) regulations at 36 CFR 7.96(g)(3) to reflect the new address of
the Division of Permits Management for the National Mall and Memorial
Parks. This change is needed to provide accurate information about
where permits for demonstrations and special events within the National
Capital Region may be obtained by the public. The Division of Permits
Management relocated on February 27, 2023. The NPS has already notified
the public of the address change on its website and through other means
of communication.
Compliance With Other Laws, Executive Orders and Department Policy
Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Orders 12866 and 13563)
Executive Order 12866 provides that the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget will review
all significant rules. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
has determined that this rule is not significant.
Executive Order 13563 reaffirms the principles of Executive Order
12866 while calling for improvements in the Nation's regulatory system
to promote predictability, to reduce uncertainty, and to use the best,
most innovative, and least burdensome tools for achieving regulatory
ends. The Executive order directs agencies to consider regulatory
approaches that reduce burdens and maintain flexibility and freedom of
choice for the public where these approaches are relevant, feasible,
and consistent with regulatory objectives. Executive Order 13563
emphasizes further that regulations must be based on the best available
science and that the rulemaking process must allow for public
participation and an open exchange of ideas. The NPS has developed this
rule in a manner consistent with these requirements.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., generally
requires Federal agencies to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis
for rules that are subject to the notice-and-comment rulemaking
requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) if the rule
would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. See 5 U.S.C. 601-612. The NPS certifies that this final
rule will not have a significant economic effect on a substantial
number of small entities. This is a technical, non-substantive rule
that updates the street address in Washington, DC, where the public may
obtain permit applications for activities within the National Capital
Region.
Congressional Review Act
This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This rule:
(a) Does not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million
or more.
(b) Will not cause a major increase in costs or prices for
consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government
agencies, or geographic regions.
(c) Does not have significant adverse effects on competition,
employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of
U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This rule will not impose an unfunded mandate on State, local, or
tribal governments or the private sector of more than $100 million per
year. The rule will not have a significant or unique effect on State,
local, or tribal governments or the private sector. It addresses public
use of national park lands and imposes no requirements on other
agencies or governments. A statement containing the information
required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) is
not required.
Takings (Executive Order 12630)
This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have takings implications under Executive Order 12630. A takings
implication assessment is not required.
Federalism (Executive Order 13132)
Under the criteria in section 1 of Executive Order 13132, the rule
will not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a federalism summary impact statement. A federalism
summary impact statement is not required.
Civil Justice Reform (Executive Order 12988)
This rule complies with the requirements of Executive Order 12988.
This rule:
(a) Meets the criteria of section 3(a) requiring that all
regulations be reviewed to eliminate errors and ambiguity and be
written to minimize litigation; and
(b) Meets the criteria of section 3(b)(2) requiring that all
regulations be written in clear language and contain clear legal
standards.
Consultation With Indian Tribes (Executive Order 13175 and Department
Policy)
The Department of the Interior strives to strengthen its
government-to-government relationship with Indian Tribes through a
commitment to consultation with Indian tribes and recognition of their
right to self-governance and tribal sovereignty. The NPS has evaluated
this rule under the criteria in Executive Order 13175 and under the
Department's tribal consultation policy and has determined that tribal
consultation is not required because the rule will have no substantial
direct effect on federally recognized Indian tribes.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not contain information collection requirements, and
a submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) is not
required. The NPS may not conduct or sponsor and you are not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
[[Page 31625]]
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
This rule does not constitute a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment. A detailed statement
under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not
required because this is a technical regulation. (For further
information see 43 CFR 46.210(i).) We have also determined that the
rule does not involve any of the extraordinary circumstances listed in
43 CFR 46.215 that would require further analysis under NEPA.
Effects on the Energy Supply (Executive Order 13211)
This rulemaking is not a significant energy action under the
definition in Executive Order 13211; the rule is not likely to have a
significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy, and the rule has not otherwise been designated by the
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a
significant energy action. A Statement of Energy Effects is not
required.
Determination To Issue Final Rule Without the Opportunity for Public
Comment and With Immediate Effective Date
The NPS recognizes that under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) and (c), notice of
proposed rules ordinarily must be published in the Federal Register and
the agency must give interested parties an opportunity to submit their
views and comments. The NPS has determined under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) and
318 DM HB 5.3, however, that notice and public comment for this rule
are not required. We find good cause to treat notice and comment as
unnecessary because this rule simply updates the address of the
Division of Permits Management that appears in NPS regulations to
reflect the current address of the Division.
