Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 20 / Monday, January 31, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630. A takings implication
assessment is not required.
F. Federalism (E.O. 13132)
Under the criteria in section 1 of
Executive Order 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.
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 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.
K. Effects on the Energy Supply (E.O.
13211)
This rule is not a significant energy
action under the definition in Executive
Order 13211; the rule is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the
supply, distribution, or use of energy,
and the rule has not otherwise been
designated by the Administrator of
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs as a significant energy action. A
Statement of Energy Effects is not
required.
L. Administrative Procedure Act
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. The
Department has evaluated this rule
under its consultation policy and under
the criteria in Executive Order 13175
and has determined that the rule has no
substantial direct effects on federally
recognized Indian tribes and that
consultation under the Department’s
tribal consultation policy is not
required.
The Act requires agencies to publish
annual inflation adjustments by no later
than January 15 of each year,
notwithstanding section 553 of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553). OMB has interpreted this
direction to mean that the usual
procedure for rulemaking under the
APA—which includes public notice of a
proposed rule, an opportunity for public
comment, and a delay in the effective
date of a final rule—is not required
when agencies issue regulations to
implement the annual adjustments to
civil penalties that the Act requires.
Accordingly, we are issuing the 2021
annual adjustments as a final rule
without prior notice or an opportunity
for comment and with an effective date
immediately upon publication in the
Federal Register.
I. Paperwork Reduction Act
List of Subjects in 43 CFR Part 10
This rule does not contain
information collection requirements,
and a submission to the Office of
Management and Budget under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) is not required. We may
not conduct or sponsor, and you are not
required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

nature. (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.
This rule does not constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment. A
detailed statement under the NEPA is
not required because the rule is covered
by a categorical exclusion. This rule is
excluded from the requirement to
prepare a detailed statement because it
is a regulation of an administrative
