Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 92 / Monday, May 13, 2013 / Notices is not a significant directive. The final directive will not have an annual effect of $100 million or more on the economy, nor will it adversely affect productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health and safety, or State or local governments. The final directive will not interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency, nor will it raise new legal or policy issues. Finally, the final directive will not alter the budgetary impact of entitlement, grant, user fee, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of beneficiaries of those programs. Accordingly, the final directive is not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866. Moreover, the Forest Service has considered the final directive in light of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602 et seq.). The Agency has determined that the final directive will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as defined by the Act because the final directive will not impose recordkeeping requirements on them; will not significantly affect their competitive position in relation to large entities; and will not affect their cash flow, liquidity, or ability to remain in the market. The benefits of the final directive cannot be quantified and are not likely substantially to alter costs to small businesses. No Takings Implications The Agency has analyzed the final directive in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 12630. The Agency has determined that the final directive does not pose the risk of a taking of private property. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Civil Justice Reform The Agency has reviewed the final directive under Executive Order 12988 on civil justice reform. Upon adoption of the final directive, (1) all State and local laws and regulations that conflict with the final directive or that impede its full implementation will be preempted; (2) no retroactive effect will be given to the final directive; and (3) administrative proceedings will not be required before parties can file suit in court challenging its provisions. Unfunded Mandates Pursuant to Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538), the Agency has assessed the effects of the final directive on State, local, and tribal governments and the private sector. The final directive will not compel the expenditure of $100 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:13 May 10, 2013 Jkt 229001 million or more by any State, local, or tribal government or anyone in the private sector. Therefore, a statement under section 202 of the Act is not required. Federalism The Agency has considered the final directive under the requirements of Executive Order 13132 on federalism and has determined that the final directive conforms with the federalism principles set out in this Executive Order; will not impose any compliance costs on the States; and will not have substantial direct effects on the States, the relationship between the Federal Government and the States, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, the Agency has determined that no further assessment of federalism implications is necessary. Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments No comments were received from Indian tribes on the interim directive, and no comments regarding the interim directive were submitted to the Agency in the years since its publication. The Agency believes that most advertising and sponsorship projects that will occur under the final directive will be in areas of the NFS that already support fairly extensive development for recreation. Proposals for sponsored events, projects, and programs will be subject to review, as appropriate, under NEPA, which will offer further opportunity for consultation with Indian tribes. Accordingly, the final directive does not have tribal implications as defined by Executive Order 13175, entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments.’’ Energy Effects The Agency has reviewed the final directive under Executive Order 13211 of May 18, 2001, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.’’ The Agency has determined that the final directive does not constitute a significant energy action as defined in the Executive Order. Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the Public The final directive does not contain any recordkeeping or reporting requirements or other information collection requirements as defined in 5 CFR part 1320 that are not already required by law or not already approved for use. Accordingly, the review provisions of the Paperwork Reduction PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 27949 Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 5 CFR part 1320 do not apply. 5. Access to the Final Directive The Forest Service organizes its Directive System by alphanumeric codes and subject headings. The intended audience for this direction is Forest Service employees charged with issuing and administrating concession special use permits involving privately owned improvements.
