Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 31 / Thursday, February 14, 2013 / Proposed Rules Public Law 104–4, Section 202, ‘‘Unfunded Mandates Reform Act’’ PART 199—[AMENDED] Section 202 of Public Law 104–4, ‘‘Unfunded Mandates Reform Act,’’ requires that an analysis be performed to determine whether any federal mandate may result in the expenditure by State, local and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100 million in any one year. It has been certified that this proposed rule does not contain a Federal mandate that may result in the expenditure by State, local and tribal governments, in aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year, and thus this proposed rule is not subject to this requirement. Public Law 96–354, ‘‘Regulatory Flexibility Act’’ (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601) Public Law 96–354, ‘‘Regulatory Flexibility Act’’ (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601), requires that each Federal agency prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis when the agency issues a regulation which would have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. This proposed rule is not an economically significant regulatory action, and it has been certified that it will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Therefore, this proposed rule is not subject to the requirements of the RFA. Public Law 96–511, ‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act’’ (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) This rule does not contain a ‘‘collection of information’’ requirement, and will not impose additional information collection requirements on the public under Public Law 96–511, ‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act’’ (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS Executive Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism’’ Claims, Dental health, Health care, Health insurance, Individuals with disabilities, Military personnel.
