Background On August 28, 2020, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) published an interim final rule governing the issuance of guidance documents entitled ‘‘Processes and Procedures for Issuing Guidance Documents’’ (85 FR 53186). The rule implemented the directives set forth in Executive Order (E.O.) 13891 of October 9, 2019 (Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance Documents). E.O. 13992 of January 20, 2021 (Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation), revokes E.O. 13891 and directs the heads of agencies to promptly take steps to rescind any orders, rules, regulations, guidelines, or policies, or portions thereof implementing or enforcing E.O. 13891, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, including the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:11 Oct 22, 2021 Jkt 256001 State submittal date * EPA approval date * Explanations * * Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 551 et seq. In accordance with E.O. 13992, the NEA is issuing this rule, which rescinds the rule published at 85 FR 53186. unless the agency meets the consultation and funding requirements of section 6 of the Executive order. This rule does not have any federalism implications, as described above. 2. Compliance Congressional Review Act Administrative Procedure Act This action pertains to agency management, personnel, and organization and does not substantially affect the rights or obligations of nonagency 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 (SBREFA)). Therefore, the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801 does not apply. However, for each final guidance document issued pursuant to these regulations and adopted by the NEA, it will submit appropriate reports to Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and comply with the procedures specified by 5 U.S.C. 801. This rule incorporates requirements of E.O. 13992 and the NEA’s existing internal policy and procedures into the CFR. Therefore, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, there is good cause for this rule of Agency organization, procedure, or practice, to be enacted without notice and comment. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). Executive Order 12866 This rule is an internal rule of agency procedure and is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. Regulatory Flexibility Act As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 605 (b)), the NEA certifies that this rule, if adopted, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Unfunded Mandates For purposes of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538, as well as Executive Order 12875, this regulatory action does not contain any Federal mandate that may result in increased expenditures in either Federal, state, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate, or impose an annual burden exceeding $100 million on the private sector. Paperwork Reduction Act Executive Order 13132, Federalism Executive Order 13132, Federalism, prohibits an agency from publishing any rule that has federalism implications if the rule imposes substantial direct compliance costs on state and local governments and is not required by statute, or the rule preempts state law, Frm 00047 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Administrative practice and procedure. PART 1157—[REMOVED AND RESERVED] For reasons set forth in the preamble, and under the authority of 20 U.S.C. 959, the NEA removes and reserves 45 CFR part 1157. ■ Dated: October 19, 2021.
