SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective Date On January 14, 2020, MSHA published in the Federal Register a direct final rule to revise certain safety standards for explosives at metal and nonmetal mines (85 FR 2022). In the same issue of the Federal Register, MSHA published a companion proposed rule (85 FR 2064) for notice and comment rulemaking to provide a procedural framework to finalize the rule in the event that the Agency received significant adverse comments and had to withdraw the direct final rule. After reviewing all the comments received during the public comment period, MSHA has determined that these comments are not adverse to the direct final rule. Therefore, the direct final rule took effect on March 16, 2020. Authority: 30 U.S.C. 811 David G. Zatezalo, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health Administration. This final rule removes DoD’s regulation that provides instructions to DoD Components on the collection and disposition of cash and cash equivalents received for the sale of DoD surplus personal property. Proceeds from the sale of surplus personal property shall be deposited by the collecting DoD Component promptly to a U.S. Treasury account. Process instructions are conveyed directly to potential buyers and bidders when invitation for bids are distributed or published. Therefore, this rule is unnecessary and can be removed from the CFR. SUMMARY: DATES: This rule is effective on April 7, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kellie Allison at 703–614–0410. It has been determined that publication of this CFR part removal for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to public interest since it is based on removing DoD guidance that is not required to be codified and is publicly available on the Department’s website. DoD guidance will continue to be published in DoD 7000.14–R, Financial Management Regulation, Volume 11A, Chapter 5, ‘‘Disposition of Proceeds from DoD Sales of Surplus Personal Property’’ available at https:// comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/ documents/fmr/current/11a/11a_05.pdf. This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, ‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review.’’ Therefore, E.O. 13771, ‘‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs,’’ does not apply.
