A. Regulatory Planning and Review
(E.O. 12866)
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,
16:17 Jun 23, 2020
This action is not an E.O. 13771
regulatory action because this rule is not
significant under Executive Order
12866.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
B. Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs (E.O. 13771)
Jkt 250001
The Department of the Interior
certifies that this document 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.). It does not change
current funding requirements and
would not impose any economic effects
on small governmental entities.
D. 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,
because this rule does nothing more
than update a Federal agency address.
This rule:
(a) Will not have an annual effect on
the economy of $100 million or more.
(b) Will not cause a major increase in
costs or prices for consumers,
individual industries, Federal, State, or
local government agencies, or
geographic regions.
(c) Will not have significant adverse
effects on competition, employment,
investment, productivity, innovation, or
the ability of the U.S.-based enterprises
to compete with foreign-based
enterprises.
E. 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.
F. Takings (E.O. 12630)
This rule does not effect a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under E.O. 12630. A
takings implication assessment is not
required.

G. 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 federalism summary
impact statement. A federalism
summary impact statement is not
required.
H. 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 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.
I. Consultation With Indian Tribes (E.O.
13175)
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 there are no
substantial direct effects on federally
recognized Indian Tribes that will result
from this rulemaking because the rule is
limited to updating an address.
J. Paperwork Reduction Act
OMB Control No. 1076–0172
currently authorizes the collections of
information related to approval of
Tribal-State Class III gaming compacts,
with an expiration of May 31, 2021.
This rulemaking does not affect the
currently authorized collection. The
Department may not conduct or
sponsor, and you are not required to
respond to, any collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
K. National Environmental Policy Act
This rule does not constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment. A
detailed statement under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) is not required because this is
an administrative and procedural
regulation. (For further information see
43 CFR 46.210(i)). We have also
determined that the rule does not
involve any of the extraordinary
circumstances listed in 43 CFR 46.215
that would require further analysis
under NEPA.

M. Determination To Issue Final Rule
Without the Opportunity for Public
Comment and With Immediate Effective
Date
BIA is taking this action under its
authority, at 5 U.S.C. 552, to publish
regulations in the Federal Register.
Under the Administrative Procedure
Act, statutory procedures for agency
rulemaking do not apply ‘‘when the
agency for good cause finds . . . that
notice and public procedure thereon are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B). BIA finds that the notice
and comment procedure are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest, because: (1) These
amendments are non-substantive; and
(2) the public benefits for timely
notification of a change in the official
agency address, and further delay is
unnecessary and contrary to the public
interest. Similarly because this final rule
makes no substantive changes and
merely reflects a change of address and
updates to titles in the existing
regulations, this final rule is not subject
to the effective date limitation of 5
U.S.C. 553(d).
List of Subjects in 25 CFR Part 293

For the reasons stated in the
preamble, the Department of the

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
28 CFR Part 16
[CPCLO Order No. 003–2020]
Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation
Federal Bureau of
Investigation, United States Department
of Justice.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Federal Bureau of
lnvestigation (FBI), a component of the
United States Department of Justice
(DOJ or Department), is finalizing
without changes its Privacy Act
exemption regulations for the system of
records titled, ‘‘National Crime
Information Center (NCIC),’’ JUSTICE/
FBI–001, which were published as a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
on September 18, 2019. Specifically, the
Department’s regulations will exempt
the records maintained in JUSTICE/FBI–
001 from one or more provisions of the
Privacy Act. The exemptions are
necessary to avoid interference with the
FBI’s law enforcement and national
security functions and responsibilities.
The Department received only one
substantive comment on the proposed
rule.
SUMMARY:
This final rule is effective July
24, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Katherine M. Bond, Assistant General
Counsel, Privacy and Civil Liberties
Unit, Office of the General Counsel, FBI,
Washington, DC, telephone 202–324–
3000.
DATES:
On
September 10, 2019, the FBI published
in the Federal Register a modified
System of Records Notice (SORN) for an
FBI system of records titled, ‘‘National
Crime Information Center (NCIC),’’
JUSTICE/FBI–001, 84 FR 47533. The
NCIC is a national criminal justice
information system linking criminal
(and authorized non-criminal) justice
agencies located in the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, U.S. territories and
possessions, and selected foreign
countries to facilitate the cooperative
sharing of criminal justice information.
The NCIC provides a system to receive
and maintain information contributed
by participating agencies relating to
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

criminal justice and national security.
Information maintained in the NCIC is
readily accessible for authorized
criminal justice purposes by authorized
users via text-based queries (i.e., using
names and other descriptive data).
On September 18, 2019, the FBI
published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to
amend its existing regulations
exempting records maintained in
JUSTICE/FBI–001 from certain
provisions of the Privacy Act pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 552aG) and (k), and inviting
public comment on the proposed
exemptions. 84 FR 49073. The comment
period was open through October 18,
2019. DOJ received only one substantive
comment responsive to the proposed
exemptions. That comment, from the
Electronic Privacy Information Center
(EPIC), urged that ‘‘[a]ll of these
proposals should be withdrawn,’’ so
that the Department claims no Privacy
Act exemptions at all for NCIC system
of records. EPIC makes a number of
claims, among which are the following:
• ‘‘The over collection and
maintenance of information that is
unverified and unaccountable with no
system for redress leaves personal data
at a risk.’’
• ‘‘The FBI sets forward no reason
that it should be able to maintain
records irrelevant or unnecessary to
accomplish a purpose of the agency.’’
• ‘‘[T]he categories of sources of
records at minimum are essential in
order to keep the government
accountable throughout their data
collection and law enforcement
activities.’’
• ‘‘The exemptions as currently
proposed are needlessly overbroad.’’
• ‘‘The NCIC has been known to have
inaccurate and unreliable records,
making it particularly unsuitable for
vast exemptions from regulations
designed to protect and optimize the
accuracy and reliability of information
held on people.’’
After consideration of the statements
in this public comment from EPIC, the
Department has determined that, to
protect the ability of the FBI to properly
engage in its law enforcement and
national security functions, the
exemptions as proposed in the NPRM
are codified in this final rule for the
reasons stated below.
Response to Public Comments
As stated above, the one substantive
comment the FBI received regarding its
NPRM urged the FBI to withdraw its
proposed Privacy Act exemptions.
While, generically, it might be true that
‘‘[t]he over collection and maintenance
of information that is unverified and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department previously notified the
public of the update to the Mail Stop for the Office of Indian Gaming
by publication in the Federal Register. See 84 FR 71451 (December 27,
2019). This rule updates the Mail Stop as listed in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 25 CFR 293.9 to reflect the Office of Indian
Gaming's new address for receipt of Tribal-State Class III gaming
compacts. This update is necessary to ensure that the regulations
provide an accurate Mail Stop for receipt by the Office of Indian
Gaming to begin the 45-day timeline under 25 CFR 293.12.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review (E.O. 12866)
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. Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs (E.O. 13771)
This action is not an E.O. 13771 regulatory action because this
rule is not significant under Executive Order 12866.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Department of the Interior certifies that this document 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.).
It does not change current funding requirements and would not impose
any economic effects on small governmental entities.
D. 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, because this rule does
nothing more than update a Federal agency address. This rule:
(a) Will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million
or more.
(b) Will not cause a major increase in costs or prices for
consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government
agencies, or geographic regions.
(c) Will not have significant adverse effects on competition,
employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of the
U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises.
E. 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.
F. Takings (E.O. 12630)
This rule does not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under E.O. 12630. A takings implication
assessment is not required.
G. 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
federalism summary impact statement. A federalism summary impact
statement is not required.
H. 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 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.
I. Consultation With Indian Tribes (E.O. 13175)
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 there are no substantial direct
effects on federally recognized Indian Tribes that will result from
this rulemaking because the rule is limited to updating an address.
J. Paperwork Reduction Act
OMB Control No. 1076-0172 currently authorizes the collections of
information related to approval of Tribal-State Class III gaming
compacts, with an expiration of May 31, 2021. This rulemaking does not
affect the currently authorized collection. The Department may not
conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, any
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
K. National Environmental Policy Act
This rule does not constitute a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment. A detailed statement
under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not
required because this is an administrative and procedural regulation.
(For further information see 43 CFR 46.210(i)). We have also determined
that the rule does not involve any of the extraordinary circumstances
listed in 43 CFR 46.215 that would require further analysis under NEPA.
[[Page 37748]]
L. Effects on the Energy Supply (E.O. 13211)
This rule is not a significant energy action under the definition
in E.O. 13211. A Statement of Energy Effects is not required.
M. Determination To Issue Final Rule Without the Opportunity for Public
Comment and With Immediate Effective Date
BIA is taking this action under its authority, at 5 U.S.C. 552, to
publish regulations in the Federal Register. Under the Administrative
Procedure Act, statutory procedures for agency rulemaking do not apply
``when the agency for good cause finds . . . that notice and public
procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest.'' 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). BIA finds that the notice and
comment procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest, because: (1) These amendments are non-substantive; and
(2) the public benefits for timely notification of a change in the
official agency address, and further delay is unnecessary and contrary
to the public interest. Similarly because this final rule makes no
substantive changes and merely reflects a change of address and updates
to titles in the existing regulations, this final rule is not subject
to the effective date limitation of 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
