Technical, Organizational and Conforming Amendments; Title 44 CFR 
Chapter I

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: By this final rule, the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) is making editorial and technical changes throughout chapter I 
of title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to reflect the 
current organization and procedures of the agency. This rule updates 
organization names, removes the internal delegations of authority from 
part 2, and makes conforming amendments and technical corrections, and 
will have no substantive effect on the regulated public.

DATES: This final rule is effective April 3, 2009.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this rule is available electronically on the 
Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov. To the far right of 
that page is a section titled ``More Search Options.'' Below that 
title, click on ``Advanced Docket Search.'' On the next screen, in the 
box provided for Docket ID, type ``FEMA-2008-0013''. The next screen 
will provide a link to the docket. Once viewing the docket, all 
documents are provided in chronological order. The rule is also 
available for inspection at the Office of Chief Counsel, Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, Room 835, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, 
DC 20472.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin McMunigal, Assistant Chief 
Counsel for Regulation and Policy, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 
500 C Street, SW., Washington DC 20472, (phone) (202) 646-4097,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency did not publish a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this regulation. Under both 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(A) and (b)(B), FEMA finds that this rule is exempt from notice 
and comment rulemaking requirements because its substance updates 
FEMA's regulations to conform to changes in FEMA's organization and 
practices. All of the changes in this rule are non-substantive. This 
rule consists only of corrections and editorial, organizational, and 
conforming amendments. 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), FEMA finds that, for the same reasons, good cause 
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after 
publication in the Federal Register.

Discussion of the Rule

    In 1979, by Executive Order 12127, President Carter created FEMA as 
an independent executive branch agency, and FEMA began issuing 
regulations in title 44 CFR, chapter I. Since then, the agency has 
undergone several reorganizations, both absorbed and shed 
responsibilities, and in 2003 became part of the Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS). Most recently, Congress passed, and the President 
signed into law, the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 
2006 (Pub. L. 109-295), which on March 31, 2007, made many 
organizational changes to FEMA, including renaming the Director as an 
Administrator. Due to these many changes to its organization and 
structure throughout the years, many of FEMA's regulations do not 
reflect its current organization, nomenclature, procedures, and 
practices.
    This rule corrects organization names and addresses, updates 
Information Collection Approval Numbers issued by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), removes the text of an Executive Order 
that has been repealed, and makes other technical and editorial 
corrections throughout title 44. This rule does not change the 
substantive requirements of existing regulations. In the following 
paragraphs, FEMA describes revisions that are not self-explanatory. 
Self explanatory revisions include name, address, or spelling 
corrections, gender-neutral changes, or updates to references/cites.

Title Changes

    FEMA has undergone a number of transitions, the largest of which 
was the Agency's move into DHS in March 2003. Although continuing to 
work under the FEMA name, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 
107-296, Sec.  503, 116 Stat. 2135, 2213 (2002)) transferred FEMA's 
functions to DHS's Directorate of Emergency Preparedness and Response.
    Recently, the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (PKEMRA) 
(Pub. L. 109-295, 120 Stat. 1355, (2006)) amended the Homeland Security 
Act of 2002 and reinforced critical elements of FEMA's emergency 
response capabilities. In part, PKEMRA removed FEMA from DHS's 
Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate, and established it as 
a stand-alone, directorate-level component of DHS. PKEMRA also shifted 
many of the responsibilities of the DHS Preparedness Directorate into 
the new FEMA. FEMA now manages the United States Fire Administration, 
the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness program, the Radiological 
Emergency Preparedness program, the Office of National Capital Region 
Coordination, and the functions of what was formerly DHS' Office of 
Grants and Training. Finally, FEMA is now headed by an Administrator, 
who ``is the principal advisor to the President, the Homeland Security 
Council, and the Secretary for all matters relating to emergency 
management in the United States.'' (Pub. L. 109-295, Sec.  611, 120 
Stat. 1355, 1397 (2006)).
    During the transitions described above, certain of FEMA's 
directorates were reorganized to comport with the overall structure of 
DHS, and to better serve the missions of both FEMA and DHS. As a 
result, some components and their subdivisions have been renamed. For 
example, the functions that were once performed by the Response and 
Recovery Directorate have been split amongst three new directorates, 
the Disaster Assistance Directorate, Disaster Operations Directorate, 
and the Logistics Management Directorate. The Response and Recovery 
Directorate no longer exists. Where the names of offices or 
directorates appear in the text of Title 44, they have been corrected 
to reflect designations current as of the date of this publication.
    In addition, modifications have been made to FEMA leadership titles 
and roles. Where these terms appear in the text of Title 44, they have 
been corrected to reflect the proper terms that are now in use. For 
example, the former title of FEMA's ``Director'' has been replaced with 
the new title of ``Administrator''.

Update to Part 2 Subpart A, ``Organizations, Functions, and Delegations 
of Authority''

    FEMA's organizational structure and delegations of authority are 
not appropriate for the Code of Federal Regulations, and are not 
required to be published in the Federal Register. Pursuant to the 
Federal Register Act (44

[[Page 15329]]

U.S.C. 1505), only Presidential proclamations, Executive Orders, and 
those documents or classes of documents that either the President has 
determined to have general applicability and legal effect or by Act of 
Congress are required to be published in the Federal Register. FEMA has 
determined that it is in the interest of both the agency and the public 
to remove descriptions of its organization and functions from the 
regulations. This information, along with biographical information on 
FEMA's leadership, the agency's mission, office locations, and other 
useful organizational information, is available on the ``About Us'' 
link from FEMA's Web site at www.fema.gov. By issuing changes via its 
website, FEMA can more quickly and easily communicate to the public any 
changes made to its structure, either by legislation or internal 
procedural reforms.

Update to Part 2 Subpart B, ``OMB Collection Numbers''

    As part of the overall revision to title 44, FEMA is revising Sec.  
2.81 to reflect new or revised OMB control numbers assigned to FEMA's 
information collection requirements. As required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act, qualifying requests for information from the public must 
be approved by OMB, and are not enforceable until the agency possesses 
an OMB control number. Information on all currently approved 
information collections is available online at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Although FEMA has maintained current OMB approvals, 
all of FEMA's OMB control numbers were transferred from the 3067 series 
to 1660 when FEMA became a part of DHS.

Update to Part 5

    FEMA is updating part 5, ``Production or Disclosure of 
Information.'' Section 5.26, ``Rules for public inspection and 
copying,'' provides the addresses where members of the public may 
contact FEMA Headquarters or its Regional Offices, to find materials 
available for public inspection and copying. These materials are 
required to be available by 5 U.S.C. 552(a), and include final opinions 
and orders made in the adjudication of cases; statements of policy and 
interpretation that have been adopted by FEMA and are not published in 
the Federal Register; and administrative staff manuals and instructions 
to staff that affect a member of the public, unless such materials are 
promptly published and copies offered for sale. This change will 
correct the addresses that are provided for regional offices.
    FEMA is also correcting the address in Sec.  5.41, ``FEMA 
publications.'' This section provides the address from which members of 
the public may request FEMA publications. In addition, many FEMA 
publications and documents may be found on FEMA's Web site at 
www.fema.gov, which contains a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 
reading room as well as a library of policies, forms, brochures, and 
other useful information.

Update to Section 9.18

    In Sec.  9.18, we removed paragraphs (b)(2) and (3). These 
paragraphs reflected modifications that the Heads of FEMA Offices, 
Directorates, and Administrations were required to make to their 
procedures within 90 days of the date the regulation went into effect. 
The regulation went into effect in September 1980 and was amended in 
August 1984. Since the requirement expired over 20 years ago, it has 
been removed.

Update to Part 13

    FEMA is updating part 13, Uniform Administrative Requirements for 
Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments.'' In 
particular, FEMA is updating Sec.  13.26(a), ``Non-Federal audit,'' to 
amend the list of authorities under which grantees and subgrantees are 
responsible for obtaining audits. The additional authorities are 31 
U.S.C. 503, 1111; Executive Order 8248; and Executive Order 11541. This 
is not a substantive change, and is merely provided to assist grantees 
and subgrantees in locating other sources of audit requirements.
    In Sec.  13.26(b), FEMA is revising the threshold grant amount 
above which State or local governments must meet the audit 
requirements. The current regulations set the amount at ``$300,000 or 
more (or other amount as specified by OMB)''. On June 27, 2003, OMB 
Circular A-133, Subpart D, section 400(d)(4) revised this amount to 
$500,000 for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2003. Since the 
regulations said ``or other amount as specified by OMB'', this is not a 
substantive change, but updates the stated threshold amount to reflect 
the current OMB amount.

Removal of Part 14

    FEMA is removing part 14, ``Administration of Grants: Audits of 
State and Local Governments,'' as well as appendix A to part 14. Part 
14 and its appendix implement OMB Circular A-128, ``Audits of State and 
Local Governments''. In 1997, OMB Circular A-128 was rescinded by 
revised OMB Circular A-133, ``Audits of States, Local Governments, and 
Non-Profit Organizations,'' which consolidated audit requirements. 
Revised OMB Circular A-133 established uniform audit requirements for 
non-Federal entities that administer Federal awards, and implemented 
the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-156). The 
provisions of the revised Circular A-133 were implemented by FEMA at 
part 13 (62 FR 45937, Aug. 29, 1997). Accordingly, this rule removes 
part 14, Appendix A to part 14, and any references to part 14 
throughout title 44.

Statutory Requirements

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review

    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. OMB has not reviewed it under that Order. It is 
not ``significant'' under the regulatory policies and procedures of 
DHS. FEMA expects the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal 
that a full Regulatory Evaluation under the regulatory policies and 
procedures of DHS is unnecessary. As this rule involves internal agency 
practices and procedures and non-substantive changes, it will not 
impose any costs on the public.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), FEMA has 
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. 
This rule does not require a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and, 
therefore, is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act. Although this rule is exempt, FEMA has reviewed it for 
potential economic impact on small entities. This rule will have no 
substantive effect on the regulated public. Therefore, FEMA certifies 
under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

[[Page 15330]]

Executive Order 13132, 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. FEMA has analyzed this rule under 
that Order and determined that it does not have implications for 
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    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 rule will not result in such an expenditure, FEMA 
does discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Executive Order 12630, Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not affect a taking of private property or otherwise 
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental 
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property 
Rights.

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform

    This rule 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.

Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal 
Governments

    This rule 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 Federal government and 
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the Federal government and Indian tribes.

National Environmental Policy Act

    This rule makes administrative technical changes to FEMA's 
regulations to reflect changes in agency organization and authorities. 
It is not a major agency action, nor will it affect the quality of the 
environment. This final rule will not require the preparation of either 
an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement as 
defined by the National Environmental Policy Act.

Congressional Review of Agency Rulemaking

    FEMA has sent this final rule to the Congress and to the Government 
Accountability Office under the Congressional Review of Agency 
Rulemaking Act, 5 U.S.C. 801-808. The rule in not a ``major rule'' 
within the meaning of that Act and will not result in an annual effect 
on the economy of $100,000,000 or more. Moreover, it will not result in 
a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual 
industries, Federal, State, or local government agencies, or geographic 
regions. FEMA does not expect that it will have ``significant adverse 
effects'' on competition, employment, investment, productivity, 
innovation, or on the ability of United States-based enterprises to 
compete with foreign-based enterprises.
