DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Land Management

43 CFR Part 1820

[WO-630-1820-PO-24-1A]
RIN 1004-AD72


Application Procedures, Execution and Filing of Forms: Correction 
of State Office Addresses for Filings and Recordings, Proper Offices 
for Recording of Mining Claims

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This administrative final rule amends the regulations 
pertaining to execution and filing of forms in order to reflect the new 
address of the Utah State Office of the Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM), which moved in May 2005. All filings and other documents 
relating to public lands in Utah must be filed at the new address of 
the State Office.

DATES: Effective August 5, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cynthia Ellis, Regulatory Affairs, 
(202) 452-5012. Persons who use a telecommunications device for the 
deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-
800-877-8339, 24 hours a day, 7days a week.

ADDRESSES: You may send inquiries or suggestions to Director (630), 
Bureau of Land Management, Eastern States Office, 7450 Boston 
Boulevard, Springfield, Virginia 22153; Attention: RIN 1004-AD72.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This administrative final rule reflects the 
administrative action of changing the address of the Utah State Office 
of BLM. It changes the street address for the personal filing of 
documents relating to public lands in Utah, but makes no other changes 
in filing requirements. This rule is an administrative action to change 
the address for one BLM State Office. The BLM has determined that it 
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 under 5 U.S.C. 553 (b)(B) and 553 
(d)(3) that notice and public procedures are unnecessary and that the 
rule may take effect upon publication.

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. It imposes 
no costs, and merely updates a list of addresses included in the Code 
of Federal Regulations for the convenience of the public.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having 
no effects upon the public or the environment, it has been determined 
that the rule will not have a significant effect on the economy or 
small entities. Further, the Department has determined under the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.) that it will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. Reporting address change for this BLM State Office will not 
have any economic impact whatsoever.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness 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 SBREFA (5 U.S.C. 804(2)).

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having 
no effects upon the public or on information collections. This rule 
does not contain information collection requirements that require 
approval by the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.

Takings Implication Assessment (Executive Order 12630)

    As required by Executive Order 12630, the Department of the 
Interior has determined that the rule would not cause a taking of 
private property. No private property rights would be affected by a 
rule that merely reports address change for this BLM State Office. The 
Department therefore certifies that this proposed rule does not 
represent a governmental action capable of interference with 
constitutionally protected property rights.

Civil Justice Reform (Executive Order 12988)

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having 
no effects upon the public and will not unduly burden the judicial 
system and meets the requirements of Sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the 
Executive Order.

National Environmental Policy Act

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having 
no effects upon the public or the environment, it has been determined 
that the rule is categorically excluded from review under section 
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 
4332(2)(C)).

Unfunded Mandate Reform Act of 1995 (Executive Order 12866)

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action and 
will not impose an unfunded mandate on state, local, or tribal 
governments.

Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments (Executive 
Order 13175)

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action and 
has no tribal implications that impose substantial direct compliance 
costs on Indian tribal governments.

Effects on the Nation's Energy Supply (Executive Order 13211)

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action and 
has no implications under Executive Order 13211.

Clarity of the Regulations (Executive Order 12866)

    Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations 
that are simple and easy to understand. The BLM invites your comments 
on how to make these regulations easier to understand, including 
answers to questions such as the following:
    1. Are the requirements in the final regulations clearly stated?
    2. Do the final regulations contain technical language or jargon 
that interferes with clarity?
    3. Does the format of the final regulations (grouping and order of 
sections, use of headings, paragraphing, etc.) aid or reduce their 
clarity?
    4. Would the final regulations be easier to understand if they were 
divided into more (but shorter) sections?
    5. Is the description of the final regulation in Supplementary 
Information section of this preamble helpful in making the final 
regulation easier to understand?
    Please send any comments you have on the clarity of the regulations 
to the address specified in the ADDRESSES section.
