continues to read as follows:
AGENCY:
Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231; 46 U.S.C.
Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195;

Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
SUMMARY: This document eliminates
redundant and obsolete provisions in
the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
loan guaranty regulations. The
provisions being removed are no longer
necessary because the phase-in of VA’s
new loan administration rules is
complete.
DATES: Effective Date: June 15, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Loan Processing and Valuation (262),

is not a toll-free telephone number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 18, 2005 (70 FR 8472), VA
proposed to amend its loan guaranty
regulations to implement new program
requirements for the mortgage servicing
industry. The notice of proposed
rulemaking was followed by publication
of a supplemental notice regarding the
computer system for the new
requirements (71 FR 68498, Nov. 27,
2006) and a second supplemental notice
regarding VA’s proposal for phasing-in
the requirements (72 FR 30505, June 1,
2007). The second supplemental notice
stated: ‘‘When all industry segments
have been brought on-line, VA will
remove current §§ 36.4300 through
36.4393, and redesignate the new 4800
series to replace current §§ 36.4300
through 36.4393. At that time, all
program participants would be subject
to the new rules.’’
On February 1, 2008 (73 FR 6294), VA
published a final rule amending 38 CFR
part 36 to implement the new program
requirements. VA temporarily
designated then-existing provisions
found at 38 CFR 36.4300 through
36.4393 (the ‘‘36.4300 series’’) as a new
subpart B and established a new subpart
F to include new §§ 36.4800 through

ACTION:
2. Add § 165.1412 to read as follows:
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES
§ 165.1412 Security Zone; Escorted U.S.
Navy Submarines in Sector Honolulu
Captain of the Port Zone.
(a) Location. The following area is a
security zone: all waters, from the
surface to the ocean floor, within 1,000
yards of any U.S. Navy submarine that
is (1) operating in the Sector Honolulu
Captain of the Port Zone, as defined in
33 CFR 3.70–10, and that (2) is being
escorted by the U.S. Coast Guard.
(b) Regulations. In accordance with
the general regulations in 33 CFR 165,
Subpart D, no person or vessel may
enter or remain in the security zone
created by paragraph (a) of this section
unless authorized by the Coast Guard
patrol commander. The Coast Guard
patrol commander may be contacted via
VHF Channel 16 or other means
reasonably available. 33 CFR part 165.30
and 165.33 contain additional
provisions applicable to the security
zone created in paragraph (a) of this
section.
(c) Effective period. This rule is
effective from 6:00 a.m. on June 12,
2010 Hawaiian Standard Time (HST).
(d) Notification. The Coast Guard
security escort will attempt, when
necessary and practicable, to notify any
persons or vessels inside or in the
vicinity of the security one created in
paragraph (a) of this section of the
zone’s existence via VHF Channel 16 or
other means reasonably available.
(e) Penalties. Vessels or persons
violating this rule are subject to the
penalties set forth in 33 U.S.C. 1232 and
50 U.S.C. 192.

36.4893 (the ‘‘36.4800 series’’). The
36.4800 series replicated most aspects of
the VA Loan Guaranty Program set forth
in the 36.4300 series, but also included
changes related to the servicing and
liquidating of guaranteed housing loans
in default, and the submission of
guaranty claims by loan holders.
VA implemented the phase-in of the
subpart F provisions over a period of 11
months and completed the process
during the 2nd quarter of FY 2009,
following which the 36.4300 series
became redundant and obsolete. Rather
than eliminating subpart B altogether,
however, we are redesignating the
36.4800 series to replace the 36.4300
series in its entirety. This action is
necessary because most program
participants are accustomed to referring
to the 36.4300 series for regulations
pertaining to the VA Loan Guaranty
Program.
Administrative Procedure Act
This final rule deletes only redundant
or obsolete provisions. It also
redesignates current regulations without
making any substantive changes.
Accordingly, it is exempt from the prior
notice-and-comment and delayedeffective-date requirements of 5 U.S.C.
553.
Executive Order 12866
Executive Order 12866 directs
agencies to assess all costs and benefits
of available regulatory alternatives and,
when regulation is necessary, to select
regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential
economic, environmental, public health
and safety, and other advantages;
distributive impacts; and equity). The
Executive Order classifies a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ requiring review by
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) unless OMB waives such review,
as any regulatory action that is likely to
result in a rule that may: (1) Have an
annual effect on the economy of $100
million or more or adversely affect in a
material way the economy, a sector of
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
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 the Executive
Order.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 15, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
The economic, interagency,
budgetary, legal, and policy
implications of this rule have been
examined, and it has been determined
not to be a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.
Unfunded Mandates
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that
agencies prepare an assessment of
anticipated costs and benefits before
issuing any rule that may result in
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
(adjusted annually for inflation) in any
given year. This rule will have no such
effect on State, local, and tribal
governments, or on the private sector.
This document contains no provisions
constituting a collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521).
The initial and final regulatory
flexibility analysis requirements of
sections 603 and 604 of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, are
not applicable to this rule because a
notice of proposed rulemaking is not
required. Even so, the Secretary hereby
certifies that this regulatory amendment
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities as they are defined in the
Regulatory Flexibility Act. This
amendment will not directly affect any
small entities. Therefore, this
amendment is also exempt pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 605(b) from the initial and final
regulatory flexibility analysis
requirements of sections 603–604.

RIN 2900-AN71
Loan Guaranty: Elimination of Redundant Regulations
AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document eliminates redundant and obsolete provisions in
the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loan guaranty regulations. The
provisions being removed are no longer necessary because the phase-in
of VA's new loan administration rules is complete.
DATES: Effective Date: June 15, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Katherine Faliski, Assistant Director
for Loan Processing and Valuation (262), Veterans Benefits
Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC 20420, telephone (202) 461-9527. (This is not a
toll-free telephone number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 18, 2005 (70 FR 8472), VA
proposed to amend its loan guaranty regulations to implement new
program requirements for the mortgage servicing industry. The notice of
proposed rulemaking was followed by publication of a supplemental
notice regarding the computer system for the new requirements (71 FR
68498, Nov. 27, 2006) and a second supplemental notice regarding VA's
proposal for phasing-in the requirements (72 FR 30505, June 1, 2007).
The second supplemental notice stated: ``When all industry segments
have been brought on-line, VA will remove current Sec. Sec. 36.4300
through 36.4393, and redesignate the new 4800 series to replace current
Sec. Sec. 36.4300 through 36.4393. At that time, all program
participants would be subject to the new rules.''
On February 1, 2008 (73 FR 6294), VA published a final rule
amending 38 CFR part 36 to implement the new program requirements. VA
temporarily designated then-existing provisions found at 38 CFR 36.4300
through 36.4393 (the ``36.4300 series'') as a new subpart B and
established a new subpart F to include new Sec. Sec. 36.4800 through
36.4893 (the ``36.4800 series''). The 36.4800 series replicated most
aspects of the VA Loan Guaranty Program set forth in the 36.4300
series, but also included changes related to the servicing and
liquidating of guaranteed housing loans in default, and the submission
of guaranty claims by loan holders.
VA implemented the phase-in of the subpart F provisions over a
period of 11 months and completed the process during the 2nd quarter of
FY 2009, following which the 36.4300 series became redundant and
obsolete. Rather than eliminating subpart B altogether, however, we are
redesignating the 36.4800 series to replace the 36.4300 series in its
entirety. This action is necessary because most program participants
are accustomed to referring to the 36.4300 series for regulations
pertaining to the VA Loan Guaranty Program.
Administrative Procedure Act
This final rule deletes only redundant or obsolete provisions. It
also redesignates current regulations without making any substantive
changes. Accordingly, it is exempt from the prior notice-and-comment
and delayed-effective-date requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553.
Executive Order 12866
Executive Order 12866 directs agencies to assess all costs and
benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, when regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety,
and other advantages; distributive impacts; and equity). The Executive
Order classifies a ``significant regulatory action,'' requiring review
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) unless OMB waives such
review, as any regulatory action that is likely to result in a rule
that may: (1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or
more or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of 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 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 the Executive
Order.
[[Page 33705]]
The economic, interagency, budgetary, legal, and policy
implications of this rule have been examined, and it has been
determined not to be a significant regulatory action under Executive
Order 12866.
Unfunded Mandates
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C.
1532, that agencies prepare an assessment of anticipated costs and
benefits before issuing any rule that may result in expenditure by
State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the

State, local, and tribal governments, or on the private sector.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This document contains no provisions constituting a collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3521).
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The initial and final regulatory flexibility analysis requirements
of sections 603 and 604 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.
601-612, are not applicable to this rule because a notice of proposed
rulemaking is not required. Even so, the Secretary hereby certifies
that this regulatory amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities as they are defined in
the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This amendment will not directly affect
