Procedural Matters and Required Determinations I. Background A. The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 In an effort to maintain the deterrent effect of civil monetary penalties (CMPs) and promote compliance with the law, the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (Inflation Adjustment Act), as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, requires Federal agencies to regularly adjust CMPs for inflation. 28 U.S.C. 2461, note. The Inflation Adjustment Act, as amended, requires each agency to make an initial inflation adjustment for all applicable CMPs, and to make subsequent adjustments at least once every four years thereafter. We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), have adjusted the CMPs authorized by SMCRA on four previous occasions: November 28, 1997 (62 FR 63274), November 21, 2001 (66 FR 58644), November 22, 2005 (70 FR 70698), and July 15, 2009 (74 FR 34490). As required by the Inflation Adjustment Act, we are again adjusting our CMPs according to the formula set forth in the law. Under the Inflation Adjustment Act, the amount of the adjustment for a CMP is determined by increasing the CMP by the amount of the cost-of-living adjustment. The cost-of-living adjustment is defined as the percentage of each CMP by which the Consumer Price Index for the month of June of the calendar year preceding the adjustment exceeds the Consumer Price Index for E:\FR\FM\02APR1.SGM 02APR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Direct Final Rule and Significant Adverse Comments

    NASA has determined this rulemaking meets the criteria for a direct 
final rule because it involves clarifications, updating, and 
nonsubstantive changes to existing regulations. NASA does not 
anticipate this direct final rule will result in major changes to its 
organizational structure. However, if NASA receives significant adverse 
comments, NASA will withdraw this final rule by publishing a note in 
the Federal Register in order to revisit the commented-on language. In 
determining whether a comment necessitates withdrawal of this final 
rule, NASA will consider whether it warrants a substantive response in 
a notice and comment process.

Background

    NASA will update appropriate sections of this rule in order to 
provide information that is as current as possible and to provide 
Internet addresses that will provide the public with current, relevant 
data at any given time. These changes will ensure that NASA is in 
compliance with 5 U.S.C. 552 (a)(1) (A), Public information, agency 
rules, opinions, orders, records, and proceedings, as follows:
    (a) Each agency shall make available to the public information as 
follows:
    (1) Each agency shall separately state and currently publish in the 
Federal Register for the guidance of the public--
    (A) descriptions of its central and field organization and the 
established places at which, the employees (and in the case of a 
uniformed service, the members) from whom, and the methods whereby, the 
public may obtain information, make submittals or requests, or obtain 
decisions.

Statutory Authority

    5 U.S.C. 552 (a)(1) (A).

Regulatory Analysis

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive 
Order 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulation Review

    Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive 
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility. This rule has been designated as ``not significant'' under 
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866.

Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires an 
agency to prepare an initial regulatory flexibility analysis to be 
published at the time the proposed rule is published. This requirement 
does not apply if the agency ``certifies that the rule will not, if 
promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial

[[Page 18444]]

number of small entities'' (5 U.S.C. 603). This rule updates section of 
the CFR to align with Federal guidelines and does not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

    This direct final rule does not contain any information collection 
requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.).

Review Under Executive Order of 13132

    Executive Order 13132, ``Federalism,'' 64 FR 43255 (August 4, 1999) 
requires regulations be reviewed for Federalism effects on the 
institutional interest of states and local governments, and, if the 
effects are sufficiently substantial, preparation of the Federal 
assessment is required to assist senior policy makers. The amendments 
will not have any substantial direct effects on state and local 
governments within the meaning of the Executive Order. Therefore, no 
Federalism assessment is required.
