Air Plan Approval; Florida: Unnecessary Rule Removal, 33851-33852 [2017-15267]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 139 / Friday, July 21, 2017 / Proposed Rules affiliated with any person (other than a natural person) that is not a small business or small organization.93 The Commission preliminarily believes that the proposal to amend Rule 146(b) would not affect a substantial number of small entities because IEX is not a small entity. Further, to list its securities on IEX, an issuer’s aggregate market value of publicly held shares would be required to be at least $5 million. If an entity’s market value of publicly held shares were at least $5 million, it is reasonable to believe that its assets generally would be worth more than $5 million. Therefore, an entity seeking to list securities on IEX pursuant to IEX’s listing standards generally would have assets with a market value of more than $5 million and thus would not be a small entity. Accordingly, the Commission hereby certifies, pursuant to Section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act,94 that amending Rule 146(b) as proposed would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The Commission encourages written comments regarding this certification. The Commission solicits comment as to whether the proposed amendment to Rule 146(b) could have an effect that has not been considered. The Commission requests that commenters describe the nature of any impact on small entities and provide empirical data to support the extent of such impact. VIII. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 For purposes of the Small Business Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, a rule is ‘‘major’’ if it results or is likely to result in: 1. An annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; 2. a major increase in costs or prices for consumers or individual industries; or 3. significant adverse effects on competition, investment, or innovation. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS 95 The Commission requests comment regarding the potential impact of the proposed amendment on the economy on an annual basis. Commenters should provide empirical data to support their views to the extent possible. 93 17 CFR 240.0–10(e).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Timi Kenealy, (703) 603–2100, Email: CMTEFedReg@AbilityOne.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Committee, operating as the U.S. AbilityOne Commission, administers the AbilityOne Program pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 8501. Through this program, employment opportunities are provided to people who are blind or severely disabled through the provisions of products and services to the Federal Government. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 301, the head of an Executive department or military department may prescribe regulations for the government of his department, the conduct of its employees, the distribution and performance of its business, and the custody, use, and preservation of its records, papers, and property. The part does not authorize withholding information from the public or limiting the availability of records to the public. The United States Supreme Court held in United States ex rel. Touhy v. Ragen, 340 U.S. 462 (1951), that the head of a federal agency may make the determination on his/her sole authority to produce documents and authorize employee’s testimony in response to a subpoena or other demand for information. This proposed regulation will govern the Committee’s procedures for authorizing or denying such demands. In addition to updating this section for the Touhy case, the Committee is taking this opportunity to make technical corrections to include changes to the mailing address and changing ‘‘JWOD’’ to ‘‘AbilityOne’’ the operating name of the agency since 2010. Changes to this section of the CFR were last made in 1994. PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Regulatory Analysis Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distribute impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule benefits the public and the United States Government by providing clear procedures for members of the public and Government employees to follow when official testimony or official documents, records, files or information are sought from the Committee or from Committee personnel in connection with legal proceedings. This rule has not been designated a significant regulatory action. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1532) requires agencies to assess anticipated costs and benefits before issuing any rule whose mandates require spending in any 1 year of $100 million in 1995 dollars, updated annually for inflation. In 2016, that threshold is approximately $146 million. This rule will not mandate any requirements for State, local, or tribal governments, nor will it affect private sector costs. Public Law 96–354, Regulatory Flexibility Act The Committee certifies this proposed rule is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. Ch. 6) because it would not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule will provide clarity to U.S. Government personnel and outside counsel on the proper rules and procedures to serve process on U.S. Government officials in their official capacity and to obtain official U.S. Government testimony or documents for use in legal proceedings. Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended, does not require the Committee to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis. E:\FR\FM\21JYP1.SGM 21JYP1
