Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 173 / Friday, September 6, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
four other states and recommends that
CBP should utilize other resources,
apparently from the surrounding states,
to better support Indianapolis.
Response: CBP is seeking to establish
definitive geographic port limits to
make the boundaries more easily
identifiable to the public and to allow
for uniform and continuous service to
the extended area of Indianapolis,
Indiana. This is a no-cost administrative
measure and CBP will not need
additional resources to implement the
proposed boundary changes. As
specified in the NPRM, the proposed
changes will not result in changes to the
workload or staffing levels at the port.
III. Conclusion
For the reasons discussed in the
NPRM, CBP is extending the
geographical limits of the port of entry
of Indianapolis, Indiana, to include all
the territory within the boundaries of
Marion County, Indiana, as well as
portions of the neighboring counties of
Boone, Hendricks, and Johnson. The
port of entry description of
Indianapolis, Indiana, will be revised as
proposed in the NPRM and set forth in
the map included in the docket as
‘‘Attachment: Port of Entry of
Indianapolis—Proposed Limits.’’ The
revised port of entry description is also
included in Section IV of this
document. The description of the port
limits of Indianapolis, Indiana in 19
CFR 101.3 will be revised to refer to this
document, CBP Dec. 13–13.
IV. Port Description of Indianapolis,
Indiana
The new port limits of Indianapolis,
Indiana, are as follows:
In the State of Indiana, all of Marion
County; that part of Boone County
which is west of Interstate Route 65 and
east of State Route 39; that part of
Hendricks County which is east of State
Route 39; and that part of Johnson
County which is east of State Route 37,
north of State Route 144, and west of
Interstate Route 65.
V. Statutory and Regulatory Reviews
ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
A. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
DHS does not consider this rule to be
a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order
13563. The change is intended to
expand the geographical boundaries of
the Indianapolis, Indiana, port of entry
and make the boundaries more easily
identifiable to the public. There are no
new costs to the public associated with
this rule, and the rule does not

Jkt 229001
otherwise implicate the factors set forth
in section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, this rule has not been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires federal
agencies to examine the impact a rule
would have on small entities. A small
entity may be a small business (defined
as any independently owned and
operated business not dominant in its
field that qualifies as a small business
per the Small Business Act); a small notfor-profit organization; or a small
governmental jurisdiction (locality with
fewer than 50,000 people).
This rule merely expands the limits of
an existing port of entry and does not
impose any new costs on the public.
Accordingly, we certify that this rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
VI. Signing Authority
The signing authority for this
document falls under 19 CFR 0.2(a)
because the extension of port limits is
not within the bounds of those
regulations for which the Secretary of
the Treasury has retained sole authority.
Accordingly, this final rule is signed by
the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
We are extending the
expiration dates of the following body
systems in the Listing of Impairments
(listings) in our regulations:
Genitourinary Impairments and
Hematological Disorders. We are making
no other revisions to these body systems
in this final rule. These extensions will
ensure that we continue to have the
criteria we need to evaluate
impairments in the affected body
systems at step three of the sequential
evaluation processes for initial claims
and continuing disability reviews.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
September 6, 2013.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
We use the listings in appendix 1 to
subpart P of part 404 of 20 CFR at the
third step of the sequential evaluation
process to evaluate claims filed by
adults and children for benefits based
on disability under the title II and title
XVI programs.1 20 CFR 404.1520(d),
416.920(d). The listings are in two parts:
Part A has listings criteria for adults and
Part B has listings criteria for children.
If you are age 18 or over, we apply the
listings criteria in part A when we
assess your impairment or combination
of impairments. If you are under age 18,
1 We also use the listings in the sequential
evaluation processes we use to determine whether
a beneficiary’s disability continues. See 20 CFR
404.1594, 416.994, and 416.994a.
E:\FR\FM\06SER1.SGM
06SER1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 173 / Friday, September 6, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
we first use the criteria in part B of the
listings when we assess your
impairment(s). If the criteria in part B
do not apply, we may use the criteria in
part A when those criteria give
appropriate consideration to the effects
of your impairment(s). 20 CFR
404.1525(b), 416.925(b).
following two body systems will no
longer be effective as set out in the
following chart:

We continue to revise and update the
listings on a regular basis, including
those body systems not affected by this
final rule.2 We intend to update the two
listings affected by this final rule as
quickly as possible, but may not be able
to publish final rules revising these
listings by the current expiration dates.
Therefore, we are extending the
expiration dates listed above.
Regulatory Procedures
Justification for Final Rule
We follow the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking
procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 in
promulgating regulations. Section
702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42
U.S.C. 902(a)(5). Generally, the APA
requires that an agency provide prior
notice and opportunity for public
comment before issuing a final
regulation. The APA provides
exceptions to the notice-and-comment
requirements when an agency finds
there is good cause for dispensing with
such procedures because they are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.
We determined that good cause exists
for dispensing with the notice and
public comment procedures. 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B). This final rule only extends
the date on which two body system
listings will no longer be effective. It
makes no substantive changes to our
rules. Our current regulations 3 provide
that we may extend, revise, or
promulgate the body system listings
again. Therefore, we have determined
that opportunity for prior comment is
ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
2 Since
we last extended the expiration date of
some of the listings in June 2012 (77 FR 35264
(2012)), we have published final rules revising the
medical criteria for evaluating congenital disorders
that affect multiple body systems (78 FR 7659
(2013)), and the medical criteria for evaluating
visual disorders in the special senses and speech
body system (78 FR 18837 (2013)). We have also
published proposed rules that would revise the
medical criteria genitourinary disorders (78 FR
7695) (2013)) and respiratory system disorders (78
FR 7968 (2013)), and revised listings for growth
disorders and weight loss in children (78 FR 30249
(2013)).

P of part 404 of 20 CFR.

unnecessary, and we are issuing this
regulation as a final rule.
In addition, for the reasons cited
above, we find good cause for
dispensing with the 30-day delay in the
effective date of this final rule. 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3). We are not making any
substantive changes to the listings in
these body systems. Without an
extension of the expiration dates for
these listings, we will not have the
criteria we need to assess medical
impairments in these two body systems
at step three of the sequential evaluation
processes. We therefore find it is in the
public interest to make this final rule
effective on the publication date.
Executive Order 12866, as
Supplemented by Executive Order
13563
We consulted with the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
determined that this final rule does not
meet the requirements for a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866, as supplemented by Executive
Order 13563. Therefore, OMB did not
review it. We also determined that this
final rule meets the plain language
requirement of Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
We certify that this final rule does not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
because it affects only individuals.
Therefore, a regulatory flexibility
analysis is not required under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not create any new or
affect any existing collections, and
therefore does not require OMB
approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act.
