Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This rule amends the
Department of Commerce’s

General, 202–482–5992.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

to deny requests for records under the
FOIA, and requests for records and
requests for correction or amendment
under the PA. The Department of
Commerce amends these regulations by
changing the designated officials for the
‘‘Office of Inspector General from the
Counsel to the Inspector General;
Deputy Counsel to the Inspector
General’’ to the ‘‘FOIA Officer; Senior
Associate Counsel to the Inspector
General.’’
SUMMARY:
wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with RULES_PART 1
Classification
Executive Order 12866: It has been
determined that this notice is not
significant for purposes of E.O. 12866.
Executive Order 13132: It has been
determined that this notice does not
contain policies with Federalism
implications as that term is defined in
E.O. 13132.
Paperwork Reduction Act: This rule
does not involve a collection of
information and, therefore, does not
implicate requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 5201 et seq.) (PRA).

Jkt 223001
Notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person is required to respond to
nor be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with a collection of information,
subject to the requirements of the PRA,
unless that collection of information
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Control
Number.
Administrative Procedure Act:
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A), prior
notice and an opportunity for public
comment are not required by the
Administrative Procedure Act for rules
concerning agency organization,
procedure, or practice. This rule merely
changes the name of the officials who
are authorized to deny requests for
records under the Freedom of
Information Act, and requests for
correction or amendment under the
Privacy Act.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(e), the
Department finds good cause to waive
the 30-day delay in effectiveness. This
rule merely changes the name of the
officials who are authorized to deny
requests for records under the Freedom
of Information Act, and requests for
correction or amendment under the
Privacy Act.
Regulatory Flexibility Act: Because
notice and opportunity for comment are
not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or
any other law, the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are
inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory
flexibility analysis is not required and
has not been prepared.
