SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Rulemaking Procedure
This rule pertains solely to
administrative changes. It makes no
changes to the substantive legal rights,
obligations, or interests of affected
parties. This rule, therefore, is a ‘‘rule of
agency organization, procedure or
practice’’ and is, therefore, exempt from
the notice-and-comment requirements
of 5 U.S.C. 553 under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(A).
II. Overview of the Direct Final Rule
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
In early 2015, many of BOEM’s
headquarters’ offices moved from
Herndon, Virginia to Sterling, Virginia.
References in the 30 CFR part 550
regulations to the Herndon, Virginia
location are updated in this rule to
reflect the Sterling, Virginia location.
This rule also updates other addresses
in 30 CFR part 519. Also, the existing
regulations contain references to the
title ‘‘Associate Director,’’ which is a
remnant of BOEM’s predecessor agency,
the Minerals Management Service. This
rule changes ‘‘Associate Director’’ to
‘‘Deputy Director’’ in the current
regulations. This rule also makes other
housekeeping changes, such as
removing reference to a URL hyperlink
for a Web page that no longer exists.

aid profoundly blind patients in
orientation, mobility, and object
recognition as an adjunctive device to
other assistive methods such as a white
cane or a guide dog.
(b) Classification. Class II (special
controls). The special controls for this
device are:
(1) Clinical performance testing must
demonstrate an acceptable adverse
event profile, including adverse events
VerDate Sep<11>2014
involving the mouth, tongue, and gums
and demonstrate the effect of the
stimulation to provide clinically
meaningful outcomes. The clinical
performance testing must also
investigate the anticipated conditions of
use, including potential use error,
intended environment of use, and
duration of use.
(2) Non-clinical performance testing
must demonstrate that the device
performs as intended under anticipated
conditions of use, including simulated
moisture ingress, device durability, and
battery reliability.
(3) Software verification, validation,
and hazard analysis must be performed.
(4) Analysis/testing must validate
electromagnetic compatibility.
(5) Analysis/testing must validate
electrical safety.
(6) Analysis/testing must assess and
validate wireless coexistence concerns.
(7) Any elements of the device that
contact the patient must be
demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(8) Training must include elements to
ensure that the healthcare provider and
user can identify the safe environments
for device use, use all safety features of
the device, and operate the device in the
intended environment of use.
(9) Labeling for the trainer and user
must include a summary of the clinical
testing including adverse events
encountered under use conditions,
summary of study outcomes and
endpoints, and information pertinent to
use of the device including the
conditions under which the device was
studied (e.g., level of supervision or
assistance, and environment of use).

1. Data Quality Act
In developing this rule, we did not
conduct or use a study, experiment, or
survey requiring peer review under the
Data Quality Act (Pub. L. 106–554, app.
C sec. 515, 114 Stat. 2763, 2763A–153–
154).
2. National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969
This rule does not constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment. We
evaluated this rule under the criteria of
the National Environmental Policy Act,
43 CFR part 46 and 516 Departmental
Manual 15. This rule meets the criteria
set forth in 43 CFR 46.210(i) in that this
direct final rule is ‘‘. . . of an
administrative, financial, legal,
technical, or procedural nature . . .’’
This rule also meets the criteria set forth
in 516 Departmental Manual 15.4(C)(1)
for a ‘‘Categorical Exclusion’’ in that its
impacts are limited to administrative,
economic or technological effects.
Further, we have evaluated this direct
final rule to determine if it involves any
of the extraordinary circumstances that
would require an environmental
assessment or an environmental impact
statement as set forth in 43 CFR 46.215.
We concluded this rule does not meet
any of the criteria for extraordinary
circumstances as set forth therein.
3. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995
This rule does not contain new
information collection requirements,
and a submission under the PRA is not
required. Therefore, an information

collection request is not being submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval under
44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
4. Regulatory Flexibility Act
BOEM certifies that this rule does not
have a significant economic effect on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The Regulatory
Flexibility Act requires agencies to
analyze regulatory options that would
minimize any significant impact of a
rule on small entities. This rulemaking
affects large and small entities through
the clarification of the existing
regulatory requirements in BOEM
regulations.
5. Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act
This rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804(2), the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.
We anticipate no significant
employment or small business effects.
This rule:
a. Does not have an annual effect on
the economy of $100 million or more;
b. Does not cause a major increase in
costs or prices for consumers,
individual industries, Federal, State, or
local government agencies; or
geographic regions; and
c. Does not have significant adverse
effects on competition, employment,
investment, productivity, innovation, or
the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to
compete with foreign-based enterprises.
6. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995
This rule does not impose an
unfunded mandate on State, local, or
tribal governments, or the private sector
of more than $100 million per year. This
rule does not have a significant or
unique effect on State, local, or tribal
governments or the private sector. This
rule does not impose any Federal
mandates on State, local, or tribal
governments or any mandate on any
part of the private sector that would
involve more than $100 million a year.
A statement containing the information
required by the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) is not
required.

private property or otherwise have

constitutionally protected property

rights. A takings implication assessment
is not required.
2. E.O. 12866 and E.O. 13563—
Regulatory Planning and Review and
Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review
OMB has not reviewed this
rulemaking under section 6(a)(3) of E.O.
12866. BOEM does not believe this
rulemaking constitutes a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under E.O. 12866
based on the following:
a. The requirements in this rule will
not have an effect of $100 million or
more on the economy;
b. The rule will not adversely affect in
a material way the economy,
productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment, public health or safety, or
State, local, or tribal governments or
communities;
c. This rule will not create a serious
inconsistency or otherwise interfere
with an action taken or planned by
another agency;
d. This rule will not alter the
budgetary effects of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs or the rights
or obligations of their recipients; and
e. This rule will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues.
Executive Order (E.O) 13563 reaffirms
the principles of E.O. 12866 while
calling for improvements in the nation’s
regulatory system to promote
predictability, to reduce uncertainty,
and to use the best, most innovative,
and least burdensome tools for
achieving regulatory ends. E.O. 13563
directs agencies to consider regulatory
approaches that reduce burdens and
maintain flexibility and freedom of
choice for the public where these
approaches are relevant, feasible, and
consistent with regulatory objectives.
E.O. 13563 emphasizes further that
regulations must be based on the best
available science and that the
rulemaking process must allow for
public participation and an open
exchange of ideas. We have developed
this rule in a manner consistent with
these requirements.

3. E.O. 12988—Civil Justice Reform
This rule complies with the
requirements of E.O. 12988.
Specifically, this rule:
(a) Meets the criteria of section 3(a)
requiring that all regulations be
reviewed to eliminate errors and
ambiguity and be written to minimize
litigation; and
(b) Meets the criteria of section 3(b)(2)
requiring that all regulations be written
in clear language and contain clear legal
standards.

4. E.O. 13132—Federalism
Under the criteria in section 1 of E.O.
13132, this rule does not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a federalism summary
impact statement. This rule does not
substantially affect the relationship
between Federal and State governments.
To the extent State and local
governments have a role in OCS
activities, this rule does not affect that
role. A federalism summary impact
statement is not required.
5. E.O. 13175—Consultation and
Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
The Department of the Interior strives
to strengthen its government-togovernment relationship with Indian
tribes through a commitment to
consultation with Indian tribes and
recognition of their right to selfgovernance and tribal sovereignty. We
have evaluated this rule under the
Department’s consultation policy and
under the criteria in E.O. 13175 and
have determined that it has no
substantial direct effects on federally
recognized Indian tribes and that
consultation under the Department’s
tribal consultation policy is not
required.
6. E.O. 13211—Effects on the Nation’s
Energy Supply
This rule is not a significant energy
action under the definition in E.O.
13211. A Statement of Energy Effects is
not required.
7. Presidential Memorandum of June 1,
1998, on Regulation Clarity
We are required by Executive Orders
12866 (section 1 (b)(12)), 12988 (section
3(b)(l)(B)), and 13563 (section l(a)), and
by the Presidential Memorandum of
June 1, 1998, to write all rules in plain
language. This means that each rule we
publish must:
a. Be logically organized;
b. Use the active voice to address
readers directly;
c. Use common, everyday words and
clear language rather than jargon;
d. Be divided into short sections and
sentences; and
e. Use lists and tables wherever
possible.
If you feel that we have not met these
requirements, send us comments by one
of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES
section. Your comments should be as
specific as possible. For example, you
should tell us the numbers of the
sections or paragraphs that you find
unclear, which sections or sentences are
too long, the sections where you feel
lists or tables would be useful, etc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Rulemaking Procedure
This rule pertains solely to administrative changes. It makes no
changes to the substantive legal rights, obligations, or interests of
affected parties. This rule, therefore, is a ``rule of agency
organization, procedure or practice'' and is, therefore, exempt from
the notice-and-comment requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(A).
II. Overview of the Direct Final Rule
In early 2015, many of BOEM's headquarters' offices moved from
Herndon, Virginia to Sterling, Virginia. References in the 30 CFR part
550 regulations to the Herndon, Virginia location are updated in this
rule to reflect the Sterling, Virginia location. This rule also updates
other addresses in 30 CFR part 519. Also, the existing regulations
contain references to the title ``Associate Director,'' which is a
remnant of BOEM's predecessor agency, the Minerals Management Service.
This rule changes ``Associate Director'' to ``Deputy Director'' in the
current regulations. This rule also makes other housekeeping changes,
such as removing reference to a URL hyperlink for a Web page that no
longer exists.

IV. Legal and Regulatory Analyses
A. Statutes
1. Data Quality Act
In developing this rule, we did not conduct or use a study,
experiment, or survey requiring peer review under the Data Quality Act
(Pub. L. 106-554, app. C sec. 515, 114 Stat. 2763, 2763A-153- 154).
2. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969
This rule does not constitute a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment. We evaluated this rule
under the criteria of the National Environmental Policy Act, 43 CFR
part 46 and 516 Departmental Manual 15. This rule meets the criteria
set forth in 43 CFR 46.210(i) in that this direct final rule is ``. . .
of an administrative, financial, legal, technical, or procedural nature
. . .'' This rule also meets the criteria set forth in 516 Departmental
Manual 15.4(C)(1) for a ``Categorical Exclusion'' in that its impacts
are limited to administrative, economic or technological effects.
Further, we have evaluated this direct final rule to determine if it
involves any of the extraordinary circumstances that would require an
environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement as set
forth in 43 CFR 46.215. We concluded this rule does not meet any of the
criteria for extraordinary circumstances as set forth therein.
3. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995
This rule does not contain new information collection requirements,
and a submission under the PRA is not required. Therefore, an
information collection request is not being submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval under 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.
4. Regulatory Flexibility Act
BOEM certifies that this rule does not have a significant economic
effect on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The Regulatory Flexibility Act
requires agencies to analyze regulatory options that would minimize any
significant impact of a rule on small entities. This rulemaking affects
large and small entities through the clarification of the existing
regulatory requirements in BOEM regulations.
5. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804(2), the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. We anticipate no
significant employment or small business effects. This rule:
a. Does not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or
more;
b. Does not cause a major increase in costs or prices for
consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government
agencies; or geographic regions; and
c. Does not have significant adverse effects on competition,
employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of
U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises.
6. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rule does not impose an unfunded mandate on State, local, or
tribal governments, or the private sector of more than $100 million per
year. This rule does not have a significant or unique effect on State,
local, or tribal governments or the private sector. This rule does not
impose any Federal mandates on State, local, or tribal governments or
any mandate on any part of the private sector that would involve more
than $100 million a year. A statement containing the information
required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) is
not required.
B. Executive Orders
1. E.O. 12630--Takings Implication Assessment
This rule does not affect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under E.O. 12630. This rule is not a
governmental action capable of interference with constitutionally
protected property
[[Page 57095]]
rights. A takings implication assessment is not required.
2. E.O. 12866 and E.O. 13563--Regulatory Planning and Review and
Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
OMB has not reviewed this rulemaking under section 6(a)(3) of E.O.
12866. BOEM does not believe this rulemaking constitutes a
``significant regulatory action'' under E.O. 12866 based on the
following:
a. The requirements in this rule will not have an effect of $100
million or more on the economy;
b. The rule will not adversely affect in a material way the
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or
communities;
c. This rule will not create a serious inconsistency or otherwise
interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency;
d. This rule will not alter the budgetary effects of entitlements,
grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights or obligations of
their recipients; and
e. This rule will not raise any novel legal or policy issues.
Executive Order (E.O) 13563 reaffirms the principles of E.O. 12866
while calling for improvements in the nation's regulatory system to
promote predictability, to reduce uncertainty, and to use the best,
most innovative, and least burdensome tools for achieving regulatory
ends. E.O. 13563 directs agencies to consider regulatory approaches
that reduce burdens and maintain flexibility and freedom of choice for
the public where these approaches are relevant, feasible, and
consistent with regulatory objectives. E.O. 13563 emphasizes further
that regulations must be based on the best available science and that
the rulemaking process must allow for public participation and an open
exchange of ideas. We have developed this rule in a manner consistent
with these requirements.
3. E.O. 12988--Civil Justice Reform
This rule complies with the requirements of E.O. 12988.
Specifically, this rule:
(a) Meets the criteria of section 3(a) requiring that all
regulations be reviewed to eliminate errors and ambiguity and be
written to minimize litigation; and
(b) Meets the criteria of section 3(b)(2) requiring that all
regulations be written in clear language and contain clear legal
standards.
4. E.O. 13132--Federalism
Under the criteria in section 1 of E.O. 13132, this rule does not
have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a
federalism summary impact statement. This rule does not substantially
affect the relationship between Federal and State governments. To the
extent State and local governments have a role in OCS activities, this
rule does not affect that role. A federalism summary impact statement
is not required.
5. E.O. 13175--Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
The Department of the Interior strives to strengthen its
government-to-government relationship with Indian tribes through a
commitment to consultation with Indian tribes and recognition of their
right to self-governance and tribal sovereignty. We have evaluated this
rule under the Department's consultation policy and under the criteria
in E.O. 13175 and have determined that it has no substantial direct
effects on federally recognized Indian tribes and that consultation
under the Department's tribal consultation policy is not required.
6. E.O. 13211--Effects on the Nation's Energy Supply
This rule is not a significant energy action under the definition
in E.O. 13211. A Statement of Energy Effects is not required.
7. Presidential Memorandum of June 1, 1998, on Regulation Clarity
We are required by Executive Orders 12866 (section 1 (b)(12)),
12988 (section 3(b)(l)(B)), and 13563 (section l(a)), and by the
Presidential Memorandum of June 1, 1998, to write all rules in plain
language. This means that each rule we publish must:
a. Be logically organized;
b. Use the active voice to address readers directly;
c. Use common, everyday words and clear language rather than
jargon;
d. Be divided into short sections and sentences; and
e. Use lists and tables wherever possible.
If you feel that we have not met these requirements, send us
comments by one of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES section. Your
comments should be as specific as possible. For example, you should
tell us the numbers of the sections or paragraphs that you find
unclear, which sections or sentences are too long, the sections where
you feel lists or tables would be useful, etc.
