SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
II. Procedural Matters
I. Background
This final rule reflects the administrative action of changing the
street addresses of the Colorado State Office, including the Public
Room, of the BLM. This rule changes the postal and street address for
the personal filing of documents relating to public lands in Colorado
but makes no other changes in filing requirements. The BLM has
determined that the rule has no substantive impact on the public,
imposes no costs, and merely updates a list of addresses included in
the Code of Federal Regulations for the convenience of the public. The
Department of the Interior, therefore, for good cause finds that under
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), notice and public comment procedures are
unnecessary.
II. Procedural Matters
Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Order 12866)
This final rule is an administrative action to change the address
for one BLM State Office. This rule was not subject to review by the
Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866. The rule
imposes no costs, and merely updates a list of addresses included in
the Code of Federal Regulations for the convenience of the public.
National Environmental Policy Act
The BLM has found that the final rule is of a procedural nature and
thus is categorically excluded from further documentation under the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 in accordance with 43 CFR
46.210(i). In addition, the final rule does not present any of the 12
extraordinary circumstances listed at 43 CFR 46.215.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Congress enacted the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C.
601, et seq.) to ensure that Government regulations do not
unnecessarily or disproportionately burden small entities. This final
rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having no effects
upon the public or the environment, and it has been determined that the
rule will not have a significant effect on the economy or small
entities.
Congressional Review Act
This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having
no effects upon the public or the economy. This is not a major rule
under the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 804(2)). The rule will not
have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more. The rule
will not cause a major increase in costs of prices for consumers,
individual industries, Federal, State, or local government agencies, or
geographic regions. The rule will not have significant adverse effects
on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or
the ability of United States-based enterprises to complete with
foreign-based enterprises.
Unfunded Mandate Reform Act
The BLM has determined that this final rule is not significant
under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 because the rule will
not result in the expenditure by State, local, and Tribal governments,
in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in
any one year. Further, the administrative final rule will not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. It does not require
action by any non-Federal government entity. Therefore, the information
required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.),
is not required.
Executive Order 12630, Government Action and Interference With
Constitutionally Protected Property Rights (Takings)
As required by Executive Order 12630, the Department of the
Interior has determined that the rule will not cause a taking of
private property. No private property rights will be affected by a rule
that merely reports an address change for the Colorado State Office and
its Public Room. The Department therefore certifies that this final
rule does not represent a governmental action capable of interference
with constitutionally protected property rights.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism
In accordance with Executive Order 13132, the BLM finds that the
rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a federalism summary impact statement.
The final rule does not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the national governments and the
States, or the distribution of power and the responsibilities among the
various levels of government. This administrative final rule does not
preempt State law.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform
This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having
no effects upon the public and will not unduly burden the judicial
system. This final rule meets the requirements of Sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of the Executive Order.
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
In accordance with the Executive Order 13175, the BLM finds that
the rule does not include policies that have Tribal implications. This
final rule is purely an administrative action having no effects upon
the public or the environment, imposing no costs, and merely updates
the Colorado State Office and its Public Room addresses included in the
Code of Federal Regulations.
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
In accordance with Executive Order 13211, the BLM has determined
that the final rule will not have substantial direct effects on the
energy supply, distribution, or use, including a shortfall
[[Page 34782]]
in supply or price increase. This final rule is a purely administrative
action and has no implications under Executive Order 13211.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the rule does
not contain any information collection requirements that require the
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501,
et seq.
