Final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) finalizes the removal of rules listing the addresses of Bureau facilities in each of its regions. We have replaced these rules with a short description of the Bureau’s structure, the address of the Bureau’s Central Office, and a reference to the Bureau’s internet address containing current and frequently updated contact information on Bureau facilities and Regional Offices. This change enables the Bureau to more quickly and accurately provide updated contact information to members of the public, in light of frequently changing circumstances. DATES: This rule is effective October 2, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarah Qureshi, Office of General Counsel, Bureau of Prisons, phone (202) 307–2105. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) finalizes the removal of rules listing the addresses of Bureau facilities in each of its regions. We have replaced these rules with a short description of the Bureau’s structure, the address of the Bureau’s Central Office, and a reference to the Bureau’s Web site containing current and frequently updated contact information on Bureau facilities and Regional Offices. This rule was published as an interim final rule on November 4, 2005 (70 FR 67090). No comments were received PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 during the comment period. We therefore finalized the interim final rule without change. Administrative Procedure Act The Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) allows exceptions to notice-and-comment rulemaking ‘‘when the agency for good cause finds * * * that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ Further, § 553(d) provides an exception to the usual requirement of a delayed effective date when an agency finds ‘‘good cause’’ that the rule be made immediately effective. This rulemaking is exempt from normal notice-and-comment procedures because advance notice and public comment in this instance is unnecessary. This is an administrative rule insignificant in impact and inconsequential to the public. The rule merely eliminates a long list of noncurrent addresses and replaces them with a reference to a publicly accessible and more accurate source. This rulemaking makes no change to any rights or responsibilities of the agency or any regulated entities. For the same reasons, the Bureau finds that ‘‘good cause’’ exists to make this rule effective upon publication. Nevertheless, the Bureau did invite public comment on this interim rule, and no comments were received. Executive Order 12866 This rule falls within a category of actions that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has determined not to constitute ‘‘significant regulatory actions’’ under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and, accordingly, it was not reviewed by OMB. Executive Order 13132 This regulation will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, under Executive Order 13132, we determine that this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Director of the Bureau of Prisons, under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), reviewed this regulation and by approving it certifies that it will not have a significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This rule pertains to the correctional E:\FR\FM\31AUR1.SGM 31AUR1 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 169 / Thursday, August 31, 2006 / Rules and Regulations management of offenders committed to the custody of the Attorney General or the Director of the Bureau of Prisons. This rule will enable the Bureau to more quickly and accurately provide updated contact information to members of the public and its economic impact is limited to the Bureau’s appropriated funds. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100,000,000 or more in any one year, and it will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 This rule is not a major rule as defined by § 804 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. This rule will not result in an annual effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or more; a major increase in costs or prices; or significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United States-based companies to compete with foreignbased companies in domestic and export markets.

ACTION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:29 Aug 30, 2006 Jkt 208001 SUMMARY: This rule will establish updated procedures for businesses to use when supplying the Minerals Management Service (MMS) with their control information. Because the existing rule contains obsolete procedures, MMS is not receiving updated contact information that it needs to be able to send important correspondence to companies. DATES: Effective Date: November 29, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharron L. Gebhardt, Lead Regulatory Specialist, MRM, MMS, P.O.

The principal authors of this rule are Linda Lautigar and Lorraine Corona, Department of the Interior, MMS, MRM. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Explanation of Rule Amendments The MMS is amending existing regulations at 30 CFR parts 218, 241, and 290: • To reflect current program procedures, such as appeal procedure information; • To remove references to Forms MMS–4025, Oil and Gas Payor Information Form, and MMS–4030, Payor Information Form—Solid Minerals; and • To revise nomenclature, such as replacing references to ‘‘Royalty Management Program’’ with ‘‘Minerals Revenue Management’’ or its abbreviation, MRM. This rule will make the following changes: • The titles of subchapter A and part 218 are revised. • In part 218, subpart H—Service of Official Correspondence is added. In subpart B, section 290.111 is removed. (It is replaced by the new 218, subpart H—Service of Official Correspondence.) Subpart H revises addressee of record reporting requirements (currently found at 30 CFR 290.111) and requires companies to submit information designating a specific addressee of record for service of official correspondence on Form MMS–4444, Addressee of Record Designation for Service of Official Correspondence, rather than on forms no longer used. During the reengineering effort, MRM eliminated Forms MMS–4025 and MMS–4030, each of which contained addressee of record information, along with information no longer required. However, MRM still requires the addressee of record information, which is now submitted on Form MMS–4444 PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 51749 available at the MMS Web site https:// www.mrm.mms.gov/ReportingServices/ RepServhome.htm. This section also clarifies to whom the Form MMS–4444 is mailed. • In part 241—Penalties, subpart B— Penalties for Federal and Indian Oil and Gas Leases, §§ 241.51 and 241.61 are revised in their entirety to conform with the addressee of record changes in parts 218 and 290. In part 290—Appeal Procedures: • The title of subpart B is changed from ‘‘Appeals of Royalty Management Program and Delegated State Orders’’ to ‘‘Minerals Revenue Management Appeal Procedures;’’ and • Subpart B is amended to reflect current nomenclature and business practices. Generally, the amendments to this rule are clear and self-explanatory and do not require additional information. However, we believe additional clarification is helpful regarding the request for contact information. When MMS reengineered the financial system of the MRM program, one piece of the reengineering effort eliminated Forms MMS–4025 and MMS–4030, each of which contained addressee of record information. This rulemaking revises the previous addressee of record reporting requirements and removes current references to Forms MMS–4025 and MMS–4030. To collect the identifying information of ‘‘changes of address’’ for the addressee of record, MMS will use Form MMS–4444. II. Procedural Matters 1. Public Comment Policy Under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), publication of a proposed rule and an opportunity for public comment are required before an agency promulgates a rule, except when the agency for good cause finds that notice and public comment are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. This rule is purely clerical in nature. It simply updates procedures for providing contact and address information to MMS for service of official correspondence, revises existing MMS procedures to conform with those changes, eliminates references to forms that are no longer used, and revises nomenclature to reflect current organization names. Therefore, MMS has determined that notice and public comment are unnecessary. 2. Regulatory Planning and Review, Executive Order 12866 In accordance with the criteria in Executive Order 12866, this rule is not E:\FR\FM\31AUR1.SGM 31AUR1

Bureau of Prisons Central Office, Regional Offices, Institutions, 
and Staff Training Centers: Removal of Addresses From Rules

AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) finalizes the 
removal of rules listing the addresses of Bureau facilities in each of 
its regions. We have replaced these rules with a short description of 
the Bureau's structure, the address of the Bureau's Central Office, and 
a reference to the Bureau's internet address containing current and 
frequently updated contact information on Bureau facilities and 
Regional Offices. This change enables the Bureau to more quickly and 
accurately provide updated contact information to members of the 
public, in light of frequently changing circumstances.

DATES: This rule is effective October 2, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarah Qureshi, Office of General 
Counsel, Bureau of Prisons, phone (202) 307-2105.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this document, the Bureau of Prisons 
(Bureau) finalizes the removal of rules listing the addresses of Bureau 
facilities in each of its regions. We have replaced these rules with a 
short description of the Bureau's structure, the address of the 
Bureau's Central Office, and a reference to the Bureau's Web site 
containing current and frequently updated contact information on Bureau 
facilities and Regional Offices.
    This rule was published as an interim final rule on November 4, 
2005 (70 FR 67090). No comments were received during the comment 
period. We therefore finalized the interim final rule without change.

Administrative Procedure Act

    The Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) allows 
exceptions to notice-and-comment rulemaking ``when the agency for good 
cause finds * * * that notice and public procedure thereon are 
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' 
Further, Sec.  553(d) provides an exception to the usual requirement of 
a delayed effective date when an agency finds ``good cause'' that the 
rule be made immediately effective.
    This rulemaking is exempt from normal notice-and-comment procedures 
because advance notice and public comment in this instance is 
unnecessary. This is an administrative rule insignificant in impact and 
inconsequential to the public. The rule merely eliminates a long list 
of non-current addresses and replaces them with a reference to a 
publicly accessible and more accurate source. This rulemaking makes no 
change to any rights or responsibilities of the agency or any regulated 
entities. For the same reasons, the Bureau finds that ``good cause'' 
exists to make this rule effective upon publication. Nevertheless, the 
Bureau did invite public comment on this interim rule, and no comments 
were received.

Executive Order 12866

    This rule falls within a category of actions that the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) has determined not to constitute 
``significant regulatory actions'' under section 3(f) of Executive 
Order 12866 and, accordingly, it was not reviewed by OMB.

Executive Order 13132

    This regulation will not have substantial direct effects on the 
States, on the relationship between the national government and the 
States, or on distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government. Therefore, under Executive Order 13132, 
we determine that this rule does not have sufficient federalism 
implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Director of the Bureau of Prisons, under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), reviewed this regulation and by 
approving it certifies that it will not have a significant economic 
impact upon a substantial number of small entities for the following 
reasons: This rule pertains to the correctional

management of offenders committed to the custody of the Attorney 
General or the Director of the Bureau of Prisons. This rule will enable 
the Bureau to more quickly and accurately provide updated contact 
information to members of the public and its economic impact is limited 
to the Bureau's appropriated funds.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local and 
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of 
$100,000,000 or more in any one year, and it will not significantly or 
uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed 
necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 
1995.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996

    This rule is not a major rule as defined by Sec.  804 of the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. This rule will 
not result in an annual effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or more; 
a major increase in costs or prices; or significant adverse effects on 
competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or on 
the ability of United States-based companies to compete with foreign-
based companies in domestic and export markets.
