SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Navy published an 
interim rule at 72 FR 53426 on September 19, 2007, to amend regulations 
concerning the administrative processing and consideration of claims on

CFR part 757 is adopted as a final rule with no changes.
    Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review.'' It has 
been determined that the changes to 32 CFR part 757 are not considered 
a ``significant regulatory action.'' The rule does not:
    (1) Have an annual affect on the economy of $100 million or more or 
adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector in the 
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public 
health or safety, or state, local, or tribal governments or 
communities;
    (2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an 
action taken or planned by another agency;
    (3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, 
user fees, or loan programs, or the rights and obligations of the 
recipients thereof; or
    (4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal 
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in 
this Executive Order.
    Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (Sec. 202, Pub. L. 104-4). It has been 
certified that 32 CFR part 757 does not contain Federal Mandates that 
result in expenditures by State, local and tribal governments, in 
aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one 
year.
    Public Law 96-354, ``Regulatory Flexibility Act'' (5 U.S.C. 601). 
It has been determined that this rule is not subject to the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601) because it would not, if promulgated, 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. This rule implements the processing of the proper 
administrative processing and consideration of claims on behalf of and 
against the United States, and does not economically impact the Federal 
government's relations with the private sector.
    Public Law 96-511, ``Paperwork Reduction Act'' (44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35). This rule does not impose collection of information requirements 
for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 5 
CFR part 1320).
    Executive Order 13132, ``Federalism''. It has been certified that 
32 CFR part 757 does not have federalism implications as set forth in 
Executive Order 13132. This rule does not have substantial direct 
effects on:
    (1) The States;
    (2) The relationship between the National Government and the 
States; or
    (3) The distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government.
    Accordingly, the interim rule amending 32 CFR part 757 which was 
published at 72 FR 53426 on September 19, 2007, is adopted as a final 
rule without change.
