3126 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 13 / Thursday, January 20, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

Executive Order 12866

This interim rule has been drafted and

reviewed in accordance with Executive

Order 12866, section 1(b), Principles of

Regulation. The Deputy Assistant

Administrator, Office of Diversion

Control, has determined that this rule is

a significant regulatory action under

Executive Order 12866, section 3(f),

Regulatory Planning and Review, and

accordingly this rule has been reviewed

by the Office of Management and

Budget. This regulation exempts those

who handle the affected products in the

course of legitimate business from the

restrictions associated with Schedule III

allowing for a more efficient and cost

effective means of doing business. These

exemptions will provide direct

economic relief and financial savings to

the three manufacturer applicants

requesting these actions. This regulation

is in the public interest and provides

more expedient access to these products

which, in turn, has the potential to

improve the health benefits to the

public.

Executive Order 13132

This rule will not have substantial

direct effects on the United States, on

the relationship between the national

government and the United States, or on

the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, in

accordance with Executive Order 13132,

it is determined that this rule does not

have sufficient federalism implications

to warrant the preparation of a

Federalism Assessment.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

This rule will not result in the

expenditure by State, local and tribal

governments, in the aggregate, or by the

private sector, of $100,000,000 or more

in any one year, and it will not

significantly or uniquely affect small

governments. Therefore, no actions were

deemed necessary under provisions of

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of

1995.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996

This rule is not a major rule, as

defined by Section 804 of the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996. This rule will not

result in an annual effect on the

economy of $100,000,000 or more; a

major increase in costs or prices; or

significant adverse effects on

competition, employment, investment,

productivity, innovation, or on the

ability of the United States based

companies to compete with foreignbased companies in domestic and

export markets.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Minerals Management Service

30 CFR Part 250

RIN 1010–AC32

Postlease Operations Safety

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service

(MMS), Interior.

ACTION: Corrections to final regulations.

SUMMARY: This document contains

corrections to the final regulations

which were published Tuesday,

December 28, 1999 (64 FR 72756). The

regulations related to postlease

operations safety. These corrections

relate to an incorrect citation in the

preamble to the published final

regulations and to three documents

incorporated by reference on Boiler and

Pressure Vessel Codes.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 27, 2000.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in these rules

was approved by the Director of the

Federal Register as of December 15,

1999, and January 27, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Kumkum Ray, (703) 787–1600.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The final regulations that are the

subject of these corrections supersede

30 CFR 250, subpart A, General,

regulations on the effective date and

affect all operators and lessees on the

Outer Continental Shelf.

With respect to the correction of the

three documents incorporated by

reference, on December 15, 1999 (64 FR

69923), MMS published a technical

amendment to § 250.101, ‘‘Documents

incorporated by reference,’’ to update

versions of the ANSI/ASME Boiler and

Pressure Vessel Code, Sections I, IV, and

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 13 / Thursday, January 20, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 3127

VIII. MMS had determined that the 1998

edition, with the 1999 amendment,

provided a degree of safety equal to the

previously incorporated 1995 edition, as

had been determined by industry. The

technical amendment was effective on

December 15, 1999. We had expected

the publication of the final rule

superseding 30 CFR 250, subpart A, to

be published and become effective

much sooner than actually occurred. As

published, this final rule redesignates

§ 250.101 as § 250.198 and repeats the

entire table of all of our documents

incorporated by reference. However, it

does not reflect the technical

amendments to the ANSI/ASME Boiler

and Pressure Vessel Code, Sections I, IV,

and VIII documents that were updated

with an effective date prior to the

publication of 30 CFR 250, subpart A,

regulations. Therefore, when the subpart

A regulations take effect on January 27,

2000, unless corrected they will reverse

the effect of the technical amendment

updating the three documents. We are

correcting this inadvertent mistake.

Need for Correction

As published, the final regulations

contain errors which may prove to be

misleading and are in need of

clarification.

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, the publication on

December 28, 1999, of the final

regulations, which were the subject of

FR Doc. 99–31869, is corrected as

follows:

Preamble [Corrected]

On page 72757, in the first column, in

the second ‘‘bulletted’’ paragraph, in the

fourth sentence, the citation

‘‘§ 250.175(b)(1)’’ is corrected to read

‘‘§ 250.174’’.

§ 250.198 [Corrected]

On page 72790, in the table in

paragraph (e), the three entries for

‘‘ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure

Vessel Code’’ are corrected to read as

follows:
