Technical Updates to Applicability of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Reduced Benefit Rate for Individuals Residing in Medical Treatment Facilities, 54349-54350 [E7-18815]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 25, 2007 / Rules and Regulations examination cycle based on the interim rules, for an increase of 31 offices.10 The FDI Act and the IBA set the outside limits within which an on-site safety and soundness examination of an institution or foreign bank office must commence, and permit the appropriate Agency for an institution or foreign bank to conduct an on-site examination more frequently than required. The Agencies’ rules continue to expressly recognize that the appropriate Agency may examine an institution or foreign bank office as frequently as the Agency deems necessary. Regulatory Flexibility Act The final rules do not impose any new obligations, restrictions or burdens on banking organizations, including small banking organizations, and, indeed, reduce regulatory burden associated with on-site examinations for qualifying small institutions and foreign bank offices. For these reasons, the Agencies certify that the final rules will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities, as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., and therefore a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required. The objective and legal basis for the rules are discussed in the Supplementary Information. Paperwork Reduction Act In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,11 the Agencies have determined that no collections of information pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act are contained in these final rules. OCC and OTS Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995 Statement Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 12 requires that an agency prepare a budgetary impact statement before promulgating a rule that includes a Federal mandate that may 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. If a budgetary impact statement is required, section 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Act also requires an agency to identify and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives before promulgating a rule. Because the OCC and the OTS have each independently determined that the rules will not result in expenditures by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of more than $100 million in any one year, the OCC and the OTS have not prepared a budgetary impact statement or specifically addressed the regulatory alternatives considered. Nevertheless, as discussed in the preamble, the rules will have the effect of reducing regulatory burden on certain institutions and foreign bank offices. Plain Language Section 722 of the Gramm-LeachBliley Act (12 U.S.C. 4809) requires the Agencies to use ‘‘plain language’’ in all proposed and final rules published in the Federal Register. The Agencies believe the final rules are presented in a clear and straightforward manner and received no comments on how to make the rules easier to understand.
