Regulatory History
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:47 Dec 20, 2005
Jkt 208001
amendment. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B),
the Coast Guard finds that this technical
amendment is exempt from notice and
comment rulemaking requirements
because the amendment only makes
non-substantive address changes. These
changes will have no substantive effect
on the public; therefore, it is
unnecessary to publish an NPRM.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. The MSC left its previous
location on December 9, 2005, and
correspondence should be directed to
the new address.
Collection of Information
This amendment calls for no new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
Background and Purpose
The office of the United States Coast
Guard Marine Safety Center will change
locations resulting in the need for an
address change in the Code of Federal
Regulations. This rule also changes the
abbreviated designation of the Marine
Safety Center from ‘‘G–MSC’’ to ‘‘MSC’’
throughout chapters I of title 33 and title
46.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 or more in any one year.
Though this amendment will not result
in such an expenditure, we do discuss
the effects of this amendment elsewhere
in this preamble.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs
and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that
Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that
Order. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS). Because this amendment makes
only address changes, we expect the
economic impact to be so minimal that
a full Regulatory Evaluation under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
DHS is unnecessary.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this rule would have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises
small businesses, not-for-profit
organizations that are independently
owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields, and
governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000.
It is not expected that this amendment
will have a significant economic impact
on any small entities. Therefore, the
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this technical amendment
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.

Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on State or local governments and
would either preempt State law or
impose a substantial direct cost of
compliance on them. We have analyzed
this amendment under that Order and
have determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
Taking of Private Property
This amendment will not effect a
taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under
Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with
Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This amendment meets applicable
standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce
burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this amendment
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This amendment is not an
economically significant rule and does
not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This amendment does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
E:\FR\FM\21DER1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 244 / Wednesday, December 21, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this amendment
under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action?’’ under that order
because it is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866 and is not likely to have a
significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy. The
Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs has
not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a
Statement of Energy Effects under
Executive Order 13211.
rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency
provides Congress, through the Office of
Management and Budget, with an
explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling
procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This amendment does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guides the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors
in this case that would limit the use of
a categorical exclusion under section
2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this
rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(a), of the
Instruction from further environmental
documentation. Paragraph (34)(a)
excludes regulatory actions that are
editorial or procedural, such as those
updating addresses. Under figure 2–1,
paragraph (34)(a), of the Instruction, an
Environmental Analysis Check List and

on pallets maintain their integrity to a
greater degree than bundles in sacks.
Our new standards will help increase
the volume of mail on pallets by
revising the requirements for pallet
preparation.
Mailing Standards of the United
States Postal Service, Domestic Mail
Manual (DMM) 705.8.5.2 requires
mailers who prepare bundles of flat-size
mail or bundles of irregular parcels on
pallets to prepare a pallet to a required
sortation level if a mailing contains 500
or more pounds of bundles.
Under this final rule, after preparing
all other pallets at the 500-pound
required minimum, if there are 250 or
more pounds of bundles labeled to
destinations within the ZIP Code range
for an area distribution center (ADC), a
mailer who prepares bundles of
Periodicals flat-size mail or irregular
parcels on pallets must prepare the ADC
pallet. If there are 250 or more pounds
of bundles labeled to destinations
within the ZIP Code range for a bulk
mail center/auxiliary service facility
(BMC/ASF), a mailer who prepares
bundles of Standard Mail and Package
Services flat-size mail or irregular
parcels on pallets must prepare the
BMC/ASF pallet. If a mailing does not
contain any ADC or BMC/ASF pallets
and there are 250 or more pounds for an
SCF, the mailer must prepare the SCF
pallet.
In addition to these changes, we are
removing text in 705.8.5.2 about
labeling pallets and optional bundle
reallocation, because we cover these
topics in detail elsewhere in the DMM.

Regulatory History
We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
amendment. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that this
technical amendment is exempt from notice and comment rulemaking
requirements because the amendment only makes non-substantive address
changes. These changes will have no substantive effect on the public;
therefore, it is unnecessary to publish an NPRM.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. The MSC left its previous location
on December 9, 2005, and correspondence should be directed to the new
address.
Background and Purpose
The office of the United States Coast Guard Marine Safety Center
will change locations resulting in the need for an address change in
the Code of Federal Regulations. This rule also changes the abbreviated
designation of the Marine Safety Center from ``G-MSC'' to ``MSC''
throughout chapters I of title 33 and title 46.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does
not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. It is not ``significant'' under the
regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS). Because this amendment makes only address changes, we
expect the economic impact to be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation under the regulatory policies and procedures of DHS is
unnecessary.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
It is not expected that this amendment will have a significant
economic impact on any small entities. Therefore, the Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this technical amendment will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
Collection of Information
This amendment calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this amendment
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this amendment will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this amendment elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This amendment will not effect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This amendment meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this amendment under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This amendment is not an economically significant rule and does
not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This amendment does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the
[[Page 75733]]
Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this amendment under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action?'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This amendment does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors in this case that would limit
the use of a categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the
Instruction. Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(a), of the Instruction from further
environmental documentation. Paragraph (34)(a) excludes regulatory
actions that are editorial or procedural, such as those updating
addresses. Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(a), of the Instruction, an
Environmental Analysis Check List and a Categorical Exclusion
Determination are not required for this technical amendment.
