Amendments To Reflect Change of
Office Name From Office of Healthy
Homes and Lead Hazard Control to
Office of Lead Hazard Control and
Healthy Homes
Office of the Secretary, HUD.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
HUD’s civil money penalty
regulations currently provide that the
Director of HUD’s Office of Healthy
Homes and Lead Hazard Control, or the
Director’s designee, may initiate a civil
money penalty action against any
person who knowingly violates the
Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard
Reduction Act of 1992. HUD’s LeadBased Paint Poisoning Prevention
regulation identifies the Office of
Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard
Control as the approval authority, after
consultation with the Environmental
Protection Agency, for lead-safe work
practices courses that may qualify
supervisors and workers to perform
interim controls of lead-based paint
hazards. Because HUD has changed the
name of the Office of Healthy Homes
and Lead Hazard Control to the Office
of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy
Homes, this final rule conforms HUD
regulations to reference this new name.
This final rule also provides a savings
provision that preserves under the
Office of Lead Hazard Control and
Healthy Homes all actions taken under
the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead
Hazard Control.
DATES: Effective Date: July 21, 2014.

B. Shumway, Deputy Assistant General

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background Information
Consistent with the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2014 (Pub. L. 113–
76, approved January 17, 2014), HUD
has changed the name of the Office of
Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard
Control (OHHLHC) to the Office of Lead
E:\FR\FM\19JNR1.SGM
19JNR1
35042
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 118 / Thursday, June 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
Hazard Control and Healthy Homes
(OLHCHH). OLHCHH will perform all of
the functions of the former OHHLHC.
As a result of this change, this final rule
makes conforming changes to 24 CFR
parts 30 and 35. Specifically, HUD’s
civil money penalty regulations at
§ 30.65(a) identifies the Director of
OHHLHC as the official with the
authority to initiate a civil money
penalty action against any person who
has failed to comply with the lead-based
paint disclosure requirements set out in
42 U.S.C. 4852d(b)(1). Since OHHLHC
no longer exists, this provision is being
updated in this final rule to name the
Director of OLHCHH to carry out this
function. In addition, § 35.1330(a)(4)(iii)
of HUD’s Lead Safe Housing Rule
identifies OHHLHC as the approval
authority, after consultation with the
Environmental Protection Agency, for
lead-safe work practices courses that
may qualify supervisors and workers to
perform interim controls of lead-based
paint hazards. This final rule updates
this provision to name the OLHCHH to
carry out this function. This section is
also being updated to provide the
current telephone number for requesting
the list of approved courses and the
current name of the Federal service that
persons with hearing or speech
impediments may use for making the
request call, toll free.
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES
II. Savings Provision
This final rule shall constitute notice
that all references to OHHLHC in any
document, statement, or other
communication made before the
effective date of this rule shall be
deemed to be references to OLHCHH.
III. Justification for Final Rulemaking
HUD generally publishes a rule for
public comment before issuing a rule for
effect, in accordance with its own
regulations on rulemaking at 24 CFR
part 10. Part 10, however, provides for
exceptions to the general rule if the
agency finds good cause to omit
advance notice and public participation.
The good cause requirement is satisfied
when prior public procedure is
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest’’ (24 CFR 10.1).
For the following reasons, HUD finds
that good cause exists to publish this
rule for effect without first soliciting
public comment.
This final rule makes nomenclature
changes to §§ 30.65(a) and
35.1330(a)(4)(iii). As a result of internal
HUD organizational changes, the office
referred to in HUD’s currently codified
regulations no longer exists as it did
when these sections were issued. This
final rule merely replaces references to
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:39 Jun 18, 2014
Jkt 232001
‘‘Director of the Office of Healthy
Homes and Lead Hazard Control’’ and
‘‘Office of Healthy Homes and Lead
Hazard Control’’ with references to
‘‘Director of the Office of Lead Hazard
Control and Healthy Homes’’ and
‘‘Office of Lead Hazard Control and
Healthy Homes,’’ respectively. Neither
of these changes makes substantive
change to §§ 30.65(a) or
35.1330(a)(4)(iii). Therefore, HUD
determined that it is unnecessary to
publish this rule for public comment
prior to publishing the rule for effect.
IV. Findings and Certifications
Regulatory Review—Executive Orders
12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess all costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if the regulation is
necessary, to select the regulatory
approach that maximizes net benefits.
As discussed above in this preamble,
this final rule updates HUD’s
regulations to reflect HUD’s decision to
rename the office listed in §§ 30.65(a)
and 35.1330(a)(4)(iii). As a result, this
rule was determined to not be a
significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review, and,
therefore, was not reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 605(b)) generally requires an
agency to conduct regulatory flexibility
analysis of any rule subject to notice
and comment rulemaking requirements,
unless the agency certifies that the rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. Since notice and comment
rulemaking is not necessary for this
final rule, the provisions of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–
354, 5 U.S.C. 601–612) do not apply.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (entitled
‘‘Federalism’’) prohibits an agency from
publishing any rule that has federalism
implications if the rule either imposes
substantial direct compliance costs on
state and local governments and is not
required by statute, or the rule preempts
state law, unless the agency meets the
consultation and funding requirements
of section 6 of the Executive order. This
final rule will not have federalism
implications and would not impose
substantial direct compliance costs on
state and local governments or preempt
state law within the meaning of the
Executive order.

Environmental Review
This final rule does not direct,
provide for assistance or loan and
mortgage insurance for, or otherwise
govern or regulate, real property
acquisition, disposition, leasing,
rehabilitation, alteration, demolition, or
new construction, or establish, revise or
provide for standards for construction or
construction materials, manufactured
housing, or occupancy. Accordingly,
under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(1), this final rule
is categorically excluded from
environmental review under the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321).
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–
1538) (UMRA) establishes requirements
for Federal agencies to assess the effects
of their regulatory actions on state,
local, and tribal governments, and the
private sector. This final rule does not
impose any Federal mandates on any
state, local, or tribal government, or the
private sector within the meaning of
UMRA.

Coast Guard
The City
of San Francisco Public Works
Department has requested a temporary
change to the operation of the 3rd Street
Drawbridge, mile 0.0, over China Basin,
at San Francisco, CA. The drawbridge
navigation span provides 7 feet vertical
clearance above Mean High Water in the
closed-to-navigation position. The draw
opens on signal if at least one hour
notice is given as required by 33 CFR
117.149. Navigation on the waterway is
recreational.
The drawspan will be secured in the
closed-to-navigation position from 6
a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on July 27, 2014 to
allow the public to cross the bridge to
participate in the scheduled San
Francisco Marathon. This temporary
deviation has been coordinated with the
waterway users. No objections to the
proposed temporary deviation were
raised. The drawspan can be operated
upon one hour advance notice for
emergencies requiring the passage of
waterway traffic.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed position may do so
at any time. The bridge will be able to
open for emergencies upon one hour
advance notice and there is no
immediate alternate route for vessels to
pass. The Coast Guard will also inform
the users of the waterways through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners
of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so that vessels can arrange
their transits to minimize any impact
caused by the temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation. This deviation

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: HUD's civil money penalty regulations currently provide that
the Director of HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control,
or the Director's designee, may initiate a civil money penalty action
against any person who knowingly violates the Residential Lead-Based
Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992. HUD's Lead-Based Paint Poisoning
Prevention regulation identifies the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead
Hazard Control as the approval authority, after consultation with the
Environmental Protection Agency, for lead-safe work practices courses
that may qualify supervisors and workers to perform interim controls of
lead-based paint hazards. Because HUD has changed the name of the
Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control to the Office of Lead
Hazard Control and Healthy Homes, this final rule conforms HUD
regulations to reference this new name. This final rule also provides a
savings provision that preserves under the Office of Lead Hazard
Control and Healthy Homes all actions taken under the Office of Healthy
Homes and Lead Hazard Control.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background Information
Consistent with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 (Pub. L.
113-76, approved January 17, 2014), HUD has changed the name of the
Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (OHHLHC) to the Office
of Lead
[[Page 35042]]
Hazard Control and Healthy Homes (OLHCHH). OLHCHH will perform all of
the functions of the former OHHLHC. As a result of this change, this
final rule makes conforming changes to 24 CFR parts 30 and 35.
Specifically, HUD's civil money penalty regulations at Sec. 30.65(a)
identifies the Director of OHHLHC as the official with the authority to
initiate a civil money penalty action against any person who has failed
to comply with the lead-based paint disclosure requirements set out in
42 U.S.C. 4852d(b)(1). Since OHHLHC no longer exists, this provision is
being updated in this final rule to name the Director of OLHCHH to
carry out this function. In addition, Sec. 35.1330(a)(4)(iii) of HUD's
Lead Safe Housing Rule identifies OHHLHC as the approval authority,
after consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency, for lead-
safe work practices courses that may qualify supervisors and workers to
perform interim controls of lead-based paint hazards. This final rule
updates this provision to name the OLHCHH to carry out this function.
This section is also being updated to provide the current telephone
number for requesting the list of approved courses and the current name
of the Federal service that persons with hearing or speech impediments
may use for making the request call, toll free.
II. Savings Provision
This final rule shall constitute notice that all references to
OHHLHC in any document, statement, or other communication made before
the effective date of this rule shall be deemed to be references to
OLHCHH.
III. Justification for Final Rulemaking
HUD generally publishes a rule for public comment before issuing a
rule for effect, in accordance with its own regulations on rulemaking
at 24 CFR part 10. Part 10, however, provides for exceptions to the
general rule if the agency finds good cause to omit advance notice and
public participation. The good cause requirement is satisfied when
prior public procedure is ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest'' (24 CFR 10.1). For the following reasons, HUD
finds that good cause exists to publish this rule for effect without
first soliciting public comment.
This final rule makes nomenclature changes to Sec. Sec. 30.65(a)
and 35.1330(a)(4)(iii). As a result of internal HUD organizational
changes, the office referred to in HUD's currently codified regulations
no longer exists as it did when these sections were issued. This final
rule merely replaces references to ``Director of the Office of Healthy
Homes and Lead Hazard Control'' and ``Office of Healthy Homes and Lead
Hazard Control'' with references to ``Director of the Office of Lead
Hazard Control and Healthy Homes'' and ``Office of Lead Hazard Control
and Healthy Homes,'' respectively. Neither of these changes makes
substantive change to Sec. Sec. 30.65(a) or 35.1330(a)(4)(iii).
Therefore, HUD determined that it is unnecessary to publish this rule
for public comment prior to publishing the rule for effect.
IV. Findings and Certifications
Regulatory Review--Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if the
regulation is necessary, to select the regulatory approach that
maximizes net benefits. As discussed above in this preamble, this final
rule updates HUD's regulations to reflect HUD's decision to rename the
office listed in Sec. Sec. 30.65(a) and 35.1330(a)(4)(iii). As a
result, this rule was determined to not be a significant regulatory
action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning
and Review, and, therefore, was not reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)) generally requires
an agency to conduct regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule
subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements, unless the
agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. Since notice and
comment rulemaking is not necessary for this final rule, the provisions
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354, 5 U.S.C. 601-612) do
not apply.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (entitled ``Federalism'') prohibits an agency
from publishing any rule that has federalism implications if the rule
either imposes substantial direct compliance costs on state and local
governments and is not required by statute, or the rule preempts state
law, unless the agency meets the consultation and funding requirements
of section 6 of the Executive order. This final rule will not have
federalism implications and would not impose substantial direct
compliance costs on state and local governments or preempt state law
within the meaning of the Executive order.
Environmental Review
This final rule does not direct, provide for assistance or loan and
mortgage insurance for, or otherwise govern or regulate, real property
acquisition, disposition, leasing, rehabilitation, alteration,
demolition, or new construction, or establish, revise or provide for
standards for construction or construction materials, manufactured
housing, or occupancy. Accordingly, under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(1), this
final rule is categorically excluded from environmental review under
the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321).
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C.
1531-1538) (UMRA) establishes requirements for Federal agencies to
assess the effects of their regulatory actions on state, local, and
tribal governments, and the private sector. This final rule does not
impose any Federal mandates on any state, local, or tribal government,
or the private sector within the meaning of UMRA.
