Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 109 / Thursday, June 6, 2013 / Notices
All comments received were considered
in development of the interim directive.
The Agency received four comments
from two tribes with interests in
National Forest System land in the
Southwestern, Pacific Southwest and
Intermountain West regions. One
comment noted the directive lacked
emphasis on protection of heritage
resources and cultural values. Two
comments addressed the 500 acre
minimum size limit for assessment and
suggested that there should be an
exception if cultural resources were
affected. One comment stated that there
was no provision for Tribal consultation
and that tribes should be involved in the
BAER process, especially if cultural
sites are in the project area. These
comments all resulted in changes
incorporated into the interim directive.
The Agency has also determined that
this interim directive does not impose
substantial direct compliance costs on
Indian tribal governments nor does it
mandate tribal participation. Instead, it
provides guidance to authorized officers
to consult with affected tribes to assist
in identifying critical cultural resources,
and it seeks to ensure emergency
stabilization actions do not negatively
affect cultural resources.
Energy Effects
The Agency has reviewed the interim
directive under E.O. 13211 of May 18,
2001, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.’’ The Agency has
determined that the directive does not
constitute a significant energy action as
defined in the Executive Order.
Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the
Public
The interim directive does not contain
any additional record-keeping 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 and therefore imposes
no additional paperwork burden on the
public Accordingly, the review
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and
its implementing regulations at 5 CFR
part 1320 do not apply.
Dated: May 31, 2013.

Chief, Forest Service.

No Taking Implications
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
The Agency has analyzed the interim
directive in accordance with the
principles and criteria contained in E.O.
12630. The Agency has determined that
the directive does not pose the risk of
a taking of private property.
Forest Service
Civil Justice Reform
AGENCY:
The interim directive has been
reviewed under E.O. 12988 of February
7, 1996, ‘‘Civil Justice Reform’’. At the
time of adoption of this directive, (1) all
state and local laws and regulations that
conflicts with this directive or that
impede full implementation of this
directive were preempted; (2) no
retroactive effect was given to the
directive; and (3) administrative
proceedings are not required before
parties can file suit in court to challenge
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 interim directive on
State, local, and Tribal governments and
the private sector. The directive will not
compel the expenditure of $100 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.
