Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 191 / Friday, October 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act 7 do not apply.
The effective date for the updated
Filer Manual and the rule amendments
is October 2, 2015. In accordance with
the APA,8 we find that there is good
cause to establish an effective date less
than 30 days after publication of these
rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to
Release 15.3 is scheduled to become
available on September 14, 2015. The
Commission believes that establishing
an effective date less than 30 days after
publication of these rules is necessary to
coordinate the effectiveness of the
updated Filer Manual with the system
upgrade.

The Department of Justice
published in the Federal Register of
August 11, 2014, a final rule making
technical changes to correcting a
technical amendment to a definition in
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives regulations
related to commerce in explosives. That
document inadvertently included an
incorrect definition for ‘‘Customs
officer’’ in 27 CFR part 555. This final
rule corrects the 2014 amendments by
revising the definition.
SUMMARY:
DATES:
This rule is effective October 2,
2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives (ATF)
administers regulations published in
title 27, chapter II, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). On August 11, 2014,
the Department of Justice (DOJ)
published in the Federal Register a final
rule that made technical amendments
and corrected typographical errors in
ATF regulations in the CFR (79 FR
46690). Many of the technical changes
were made to reflect changes in
nomenclature resulting from the transfer
of ATF to DOJ from the Department of
the Treasury, pursuant to the Homeland
Security Act of 2002. The changes were
designed to provide clarity and enhance
uniformity throughout these regulations.
The 2014 technical amendments
inadvertently contained an incorrect
definition for ‘‘Customs officer’’ in 27
CFR part 555. This final rule corrects
the changes in the Code of Federal
Regulations made by the 2014 technical
amendments by revising the definition.
Section 555.11, defining ‘‘Customs
officer,’’ is being amended so that it no
longer contains a reference to ‘‘Customs
Service.’’ The new definition reads as
follows: ‘‘Any officer of U.S. Customs
and Border Protection, any
commissioned, warrant, or petty officer
of the Coast Guard, or any agent or other
person authorized by law to perform the
duties of a customs officer.’’

How This Document Complies With the
Federal Administrative Requirements
for Rulemaking
A. Executive Order 12866 and Executive
Order 13563
This final rule has been drafted and
reviewed in accordance with Executive
Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory Planning and
Review,’’ section 1(b), The Principles of
Regulation, and Executive Order 13563,
‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review,’’ section 1, General Principles
of Regulation. This rule is limited to
agency organization, management, or
personnel matters as described by
Executive Order 12866, section 3(d)(3)
and, therefore, is not a ‘‘regulation’’ or
‘‘rule’’ as defined by that Executive
Order.
B. Executive Order 13132
This final rule will not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the Federal
Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with section 6 of Executive
Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism,’’ the
Attorney General has determined that
this regulation does not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a federalism summary
impact statement.
C. Executive Order 12988
This regulation meets the applicable
standards set forth in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, ‘‘Civil
Justice Reform.’’
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
D. Administrative Procedure Act
This final rule is purely a matter of
agency management. Accordingly, this
rule is exempt from the usual
requirements of prior notice and
comment and a 30-day delay in the
effective date. See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2). In
addition, prior notice and comment are
not required because the final rule is a
rule of agency organization, procedure,
or practice. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
Moreover, the Department finds good
cause for exempting the rule from those
requirements. Because this final rule
makes a technical correction for
accuracy and to improve the clarity of
the regulations, the Department finds it
unnecessary to publish this rule for
public notice and comment. See 5
U.S.C. 553(b). Similarly, because
delaying the effective date of this rule
would serve no purpose, the
Department also finds good cause to
make this rule effective upon
publication. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
List of Subjects in 27 CFR Part 555
The Attorney General, in accordance
with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 605(b), has reviewed this rule
and, by approving it, certifies that it will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because it pertains to personnel and
administrative matters affecting the
Department. Further, a Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis is not required for
this final rule because the Department
was not required to publish a general
notice of proposed rulemaking for this
matter. See 5 U.S.C. 604.

F. Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996
This rule is not a major rule as
defined by section 251 of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C. 804. This
rule will not result in an annual effect
on the economy of $100 million or
more; a major increase in costs or prices;
or significant adverse effects on
competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or on the
ability of United States-based
enterprises to compete with foreignbased enterprises in domestic and
export markets.
G. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995
This rule was not preceded by a
published notice of proposed
rulemaking; will not result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
in any one year; will not significantly or
uniquely affect small governments; and
does not contain significant
intergovernmental mandates. Therefore,
no actions were deemed necessary
under the provisions of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C.
1531–1535.
H. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This final rule does not impose any
new reporting or recordkeeping
requirements under the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521.
I. Congressional Review Act
This action pertains to agency
organization, procedure, or practice, and
does not substantially affect the rights or
obligations of non-agency parties and,
accordingly, is not a ‘‘rule’’ as that term
is used by the Congressional Review Act
(Subtitle E of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996). See 5 U.S.C. 804(3). Therefore,
the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C.
801 does not apply.

How This Document Complies With the Federal Administrative Requirements
for Rulemaking
A. Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563
This final rule has been drafted and reviewed in accordance with
Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' section
1(b), The Principles of Regulation, and Executive Order 13563,
``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,'' section 1, General
Principles of Regulation. This rule is limited to agency organization,
management, or personnel matters as described by Executive Order 12866,
section 3(d)(3) and, therefore, is not a ``regulation'' or ``rule'' as
defined by that Executive Order.
B. Executive Order 13132
This final rule will not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the Federal Government and the
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with section 6
of Executive Order 13132, ``Federalism,'' the Attorney General has
determined that this regulation does not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism summary impact
statement.
C. Executive Order 12988
This regulation meets the applicable standards set forth in
sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, ``Civil Justice
Reform.''
D. Administrative Procedure Act
This final rule is purely a matter of agency management.
Accordingly, this rule is exempt from the usual requirements of prior
notice and comment and a 30-day delay in the effective date. See 5
U.S.C. 553(a)(2). In addition, prior notice and comment are not
required because the final rule is a rule of agency organization,
procedure, or practice. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b). Moreover, the Department
finds good cause for exempting the rule from those requirements.
Because this final rule makes a technical correction for accuracy and
to improve the clarity of the regulations, the Department finds it
unnecessary to publish this rule for public notice and comment. See 5
U.S.C. 553(b). Similarly, because delaying the effective date of this
rule would serve no purpose, the Department also finds good cause to
make this rule effective upon publication. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Attorney General, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, 5 U.S.C. 605(b), has reviewed this rule and, by approving it,
certifies that it will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities because it pertains to personnel
and administrative matters affecting the Department. Further, a
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is not required for this final rule
because the Department was not required to publish a general notice of
proposed rulemaking for this matter. See 5 U.S.C. 604.
F. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996
This rule is not a major rule as defined by section 251 of the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C.
804. This rule will not result in an annual effect on the economy of
$100 million or more; a major increase in costs or prices; or
significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United States-based
enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises in domestic and
export markets.
G. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rule was not preceded by a published notice of proposed
rulemaking; will not result in the expenditure by State, local, and
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100
million or more in any one year; will not significantly or uniquely
affect small governments; and does not contain significant
intergovernmental mandates. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary
under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2
U.S.C. 1531-1535.
H. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This final rule does not impose any new reporting or recordkeeping
requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521.
I. Congressional Review Act
This action pertains to agency organization, procedure, or
practice, and does not substantially affect the rights or obligations
of non-agency parties and, accordingly, is not a ``rule'' as that term
is used by the Congressional Review Act (Subtitle E of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996). See 5 U.S.C.
804(3). Therefore, the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801 does not
apply.
