Download as PDF 70748 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 236 / Monday, December 13, 2021 / Rules and Regulations election information, and ensure registering to vote and the act of voting be made simple and easy for all those eligible to do so. To accomplish this purpose, with this final rule DoD will facilitate the Executive Order in the following ways: • Promoting opportunities to register to vote and participate in elections to include civilians working for the Department who vote locally; • Distributing voter information and use of vote.gov in conjunction with fvap.gov website and current communications to support a comprehensive approach to voter awareness; • Creating innovative solutions to reduce barriers and increase voter awareness of their status in the UOCAVA absentee voting process, including increased visibility of overseas ballots; • Developing materials to support absentee voting by military and overseas U.S. citizens with limited English proficiency. E.O. 12866, ‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review’’; E.O. 13563, ‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review’’ E.O.s 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distribute impacts, and equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under Section 3(f) of E.O. 12866 and was not reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 804(2) Under the Congressional Review Act, a major rule may not take effect until at least 60 days after submission to Congress of a report regarding the rule. A major rule is one that would have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more, or have certain other impacts. This rule is not a major rule under the Congressional Review Act. Sec. 202, Public Law 104–4, ‘‘Unfunded Mandates Reform Act’’ Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1532) requires agencies assess anticipated costs and benefits before issuing any rule whose mandates VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:56 Dec 10, 2021 Jkt 256001 require spending in any 1 year of $100 million in 1995 dollars, updated annually for inflation. This rule will not mandate any requirements for State, local, or tribal governments, nor will the rule affect private sector costs. Public Law 96–354, ‘‘Regulatory Flexibility Act’’ (5 U.S.C. 601) The DoD certifies that this rule is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601) because it would not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended, does not require us to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis. Public Law 96–511, ‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act’’ (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) Authority: E.O. 12642; 10 U.S.C. 1566a; 52 U.S.C. 20506; 52 U.S.C. Ch. 203. 2.

The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard, the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service, and the commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. * * * * * Dated: December 7, 2021. Aaron T. Siegel, Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense. It has been determined that 32 CFR part 233 does impose reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. These information collections have been approved by OMB under the following control numbers: 0704–0502, ‘‘Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB)’’ and 0704–0503, ‘‘Federal Post Card Application (FPCA).’’ [FR Doc. 2021–26869 Filed 12–10–21; 8:45 am] Executive Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism’’ RIN 0790–AL01 Executive Order 13132 establishes certain requirements that an agency must meet when it promulgates a final rule that imposes substantial direct requirement costs on State and local governments, preempts State law, or otherwise has Federalism implications. This rule will not have a substantial effect on State and local governments. Admissions Policies and Procedures for the School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences Executive Order 13175, ‘‘Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments’’ It has been determined that this rule does not have a substantial effect on Indian tribal governments.
