SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Summary of Rule
Regulations governing the Tribal
Transportation Program were published
in 2016. See 81 FR 78456 (November 7,
2016). The regulations became effective
on December 7, 2016, except for
§ 170.443, which required Tribes’
compliance at a later date: On
November 7, 2019. See 83 FR 8609
(February 28, 2018). Section 170.443
requires Tribes to collect data for
proposed roads to be added to, or
remain in, the NTTFI.
This interim final rule affects only
§ 170.443. The rule delays the current
November 7, 2019, deadline for
compliance with that section to March
6, 2020. This delay will allow the
Bureau of Indian Affairs time to
complete the rulemaking that is
reexamining the need for this data
collection in the NTTFI and
determining whether revision or
deletion of the data collection
requirements in § 170.443 is
appropriate. The Bureau of Indian
Affairs finds that there is good cause to
E:\FR\FM\17OCR1.SGM
17OCR1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 201 / Thursday, October 17, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
place this rule into immediate effect
before receiving public comment and
without a 30-day waiting period because
the delay in the compliance deadline is
expected to be uncontroversial with
both the impacted Tribes and the
public, and placing into immediate
effect will eliminate potentially
needless expenditure of resources by
Tribes.
II. Procedural Requirements
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
(E.O. 12866 and 13563)
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 provides
that the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) at the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) will
review all significant rules. OIRA has
determined that this rule is not
significant.
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. The
E.O. 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.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule will 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.)
because Tribes are not small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
C. 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.
This rule:
(a) Does not have an annual effect on
the economy of $100 million or more
because this rule affects only surface
transportation for Tribes.
(b) Will not cause a major increase in
costs or prices for consumers,
individual industries, Federal, State, or
local government agencies, or
geographic regions because it does not
affect costs or prices.
(c) Does not have significant adverse
effects on competition, employment,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:10 Oct 16, 2019
Jkt 250001
investment, productivity, innovation, or
the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to
compete with foreign-based enterprises
because the rule addresses Tribal
surface transportation within the United
States.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
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. The
rule does not have a significant or
unique effect on State, local, or Tribal
governments or the private sector. A
statement containing the information
required by the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) is not
required.
E. Takings (E.O. 12630)
This rule does not affect a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under E.O. 12360. A
takings implication assessment is not
required.
F. Federalism (E.O. 13132)
Under the criteria in section 1 of E.O.
13132, this rule does not have sufficient
Federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a summary impact
statement, because the rule primarily
addresses the relationship between the
Federal Government and Tribes. A
Federalism summary impact statement
is not required.
G. Civil Justice Reform (E.O. 12988)
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 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.
H. Consultation With Indian Tribes
(E.O. 13175 and Departmental Policy)
The Department of the Interior strives
to strengthen its government-togovernment regulations 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
have identified substantial direct effects
on federally recognized Indian Tribes
that will result from this rule. This rule
will relieve a regulatory burden from
Tribes and allow time for consultation
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
55499
on an appropriate replacement or
deletion of regulatory requirements.
I. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule contains information
collection requirements, and the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) has
approved the information collections
under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) under OMB Control Number
1076–0161, which expires December 31,
2019.
Please note that an agency may not
sponsor or request, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid
OMB Control Number.
J. National Environmental Policy Act
This rulemaking does not constitute a
major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment because it is of an
administrative, technical, and
procedural nature. It is therefore subject
to categorical exclusion, see 43 CFR
46.210(i), and no extraordinary
circumstances exist. See 43 CFR 46.215.
K. Effects on the Energy Supply (E.O.
13211)
This rulemaking is not a significant
energy action under the definition in
E.O. 13211. A Statement of Energy
Effects is not required.
L. Clarity of This Regulation
We are required by Executive Orders
12866 (section 1(b)(12)), and 12988
(section 3(b)(1)(B)), and 13563 (section
1(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. To better help us revise the
rule, 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 think
lists or tables would be useful, etc.
M. E.O. 13771: Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs
This rule is not an E.O. 13771
regulatory action because this rule is not
significant under E.O. 12866.

Tribal Transportation Program; Delay of Compliance Date
AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.
ACTION: Interim final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This interim final rule updates the Tribal Transportation
Program regulations to delay the deadline for Tribes to comply with
requirements to collect data on proposed roads for the National Tribal
Transportation Facility Inventory (NTTFI).
DATES: This rule is effective October 17, 2019. Submit comments by
November 18, 2019. Compliance with Sec. 170.443 for proposed roads
currently in the NTTFI to remain in the inventory is required by March
6, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:

listed under the agency name ``Bureau of Indian Affairs.''
Mail, Hand Delivery, or Courier: Ms. Elizabeth Appel,
Office of Regulatory Affairs & Collaborative Action, U.S. Department of

rulemaking and considered. Comments sent to an address other than those
listed above will not be included in the docket for this rulemaking.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. LeRoy Gishi, Division of
Transportation, Office of Indian Services, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
(202) 513-7711, [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Summary of Rule
Regulations governing the Tribal Transportation Program were
published in 2016. See 81 FR 78456 (November 7, 2016). The regulations
became effective on December 7, 2016, except for Sec. 170.443, which
required Tribes' compliance at a later date: On November 7, 2019. See
83 FR 8609 (February 28, 2018). Section 170.443 requires Tribes to
collect data for proposed roads to be added to, or remain in, the
NTTFI.
This interim final rule affects only Sec. 170.443. The rule delays
the current November 7, 2019, deadline for compliance with that section
to March 6, 2020. This delay will allow the Bureau of Indian Affairs
time to complete the rulemaking that is reexamining the need for this
data collection in the NTTFI and determining whether revision or
deletion of the data collection requirements in Sec. 170.443 is
appropriate. The Bureau of Indian Affairs finds that there is good
cause to
[[Page 55499]]
place this rule into immediate effect before receiving public comment
and without a 30-day waiting period because the delay in the compliance
deadline is expected to be uncontroversial with both the impacted
Tribes and the public, and placing into immediate effect will eliminate
potentially needless expenditure of resources by Tribes.
II. Procedural Requirements
A. Regulatory Planning and Review (E.O. 12866 and 13563)
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 provides that the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) at the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) will review all significant rules. OIRA has determined
that this rule is not significant.
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.
The E.O. 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.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule will 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.) because Tribes are not small entities under
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
C. 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. This rule:
(a) Does not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million
or more because this rule affects only surface transportation for
Tribes.
(b) Will not cause a major increase in costs or prices for
consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government
agencies, or geographic regions because it does not affect costs or
prices.
(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
because the rule addresses Tribal surface transportation within the
United States.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
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. The rule does not have a significant or unique effect on State,
local, or Tribal governments or the private sector. A statement
containing the information required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) is not required.
E. Takings (E.O. 12630)
This rule does not affect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under E.O. 12360. A takings implication
assessment is not required.
F. Federalism (E.O. 13132)
Under the criteria in section 1 of E.O. 13132, this rule does not
have sufficient Federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a
summary impact statement, because the rule primarily addresses the
relationship between the Federal Government and Tribes. A Federalism
summary impact statement is not required.
G. Civil Justice Reform (E.O. 12988)
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 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.
H. Consultation With Indian Tribes (E.O. 13175 and Departmental Policy)
The Department of the Interior strives to strengthen its
government-to-government regulations 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 have identified
substantial direct effects on federally recognized Indian Tribes that
will result from this rule. This rule will relieve a regulatory burden
from Tribes and allow time for consultation on an appropriate
replacement or deletion of regulatory requirements.
I. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule contains information collection requirements, and the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information
collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) under OMB Control
Number 1076-0161, which expires December 31, 2019.
Please note that an agency may not sponsor or request, and an
individual need not respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB Control Number.
J. National Environmental Policy Act
This rulemaking does not constitute a major Federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment because it
is of an administrative, technical, and procedural nature. It is
therefore subject to categorical exclusion, see 43 CFR 46.210(i), and
no extraordinary circumstances exist. See 43 CFR 46.215.
K. Effects on the Energy Supply (E.O. 13211)
This rulemaking is not a significant energy action under the
definition in E.O. 13211. A Statement of Energy Effects is not
required.
L. Clarity of This Regulation
We are required by Executive Orders 12866 (section 1(b)(12)), and
12988 (section 3(b)(1)(B)), and 13563 (section 1(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. To
better help us revise the rule, 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 think lists or tables would be useful,
etc.
M. E.O. 13771: Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs
This rule is not an E.O. 13771 regulatory action because this rule
is not significant under E.O. 12866.
