businesses. Pursuant to 26 U.S.C.

7805(f), the temporary rulemaking (T.D.

ATF–424 (64 FR 71929)) has been

submitted to the Chief Counsel for

Advocacy of the Small Business

Administration for comment on its

impact on small business.

Executive Order 12866

It has been determined that this

temporary rule is not a significant

regulatory action as defined by

Executive Order 12866 because any

economic effects flow directly from the

underlying statute and not from this

rule. Therefore, a regulatory assessment

is not required.

Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule does not impose any

collection of information as defined in

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(44 U.S.C. 3507(j)). Consequently, this

rule is being issued without prior notice

and public procedure pursuant to the

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.

553).

Administrative Procedure Act

Because this document merely

extends the date when manufacturers

and importers must comply with certain

marking requirements, and because

immediate guidance is necessary to

implement this extension, it is found to

be impracticable to issue this Treasury

decision with notice and public

procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) or

subject to the effective date limitation

under 5 U.S.C. 553(d).

RIN 1010–AC55

Oil and Gas and Sulphur Operations in

the Outer Continental Shelf—Update of

Documents Incorporated by Reference,

Correction

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service

(MMS), Interior.

ACTION: Correction to final regulations.

SUMMARY: This document corrects the

final rule titled ‘‘Update of Documents

Incorporated by Reference,’’ which was

published Tuesday, January 4, 2000 (65

40052 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 126 / Thursday, June 29, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

FR 217). We are adding a citation to

entries for two American Petroleum

Institute (API) Recommended Practices

(RP) in the table of Documents

Incorporated by Reference and

correcting a section of the regulations to

incorporate by reference the two

documents.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 3, 2000. The

incorporation by reference of

publications listed in the regulation is

approved by the Director of the Federal

Register as of February 3, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Alexis London, Rules Processing Team,

Engineering and Operations Division,

(703) 787–1600.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The final regulations that are the

subject of these corrections updated one

API document incorporated by reference

(API RP 500) and added a new

document incorporated by reference

(API RP 505). These regulations affect

all operators and lessees on the Outer

Continental Shelf.

The regulation at 30 CFR 250.410(e)

on safety precautions in mud-handling

areas currently incorporates by

reference the out-of-date document ‘‘API

RP 500B.’’ The final regulations should

have revised § 250.410(e) to reference

‘‘API RP 500’’ or ‘‘API RP 505’’ as it did

for various other sections of our

regulations. The list of citations for API

RP 500 and API RP 505 in the table of

documents incorporated by reference in

§ 250.198(e) should have then included

§ 250.410(e).

Need for Correction

As published, the final regulations

contain errors that may prove to be

misleading and are in need of

clarification.

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, the publication of the

final regulations on January 4, 2000,

which were the subject of FR Doc. 00–

26, is corrected as follows:

§ 250.198 [Corrected]

On pages 218 and 219, in the table for

§ 250.198(e), the entries for API RP 500

and API RP 505 are corrected to read as

follows:

§ 250.198 Documents incorporated by

reference.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion of the Rule

Each year Title 33 of the Code of

Federal Regulations is recodified on July

1. This rule makes editorial changes

throughout the title, corrects addresses,

updates cross-references, and makes

other technical and editorial corrections

to be included in the recodification.

Some editorial changes are discussed

individually in the following

paragraphs. This rule does not change

any substantive requirements of existing

regulations.

We did not publish a notice of

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this

regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists

for not publishing an NPRM. This rule

consists only of corrections and

editorial and conforming amendments

to Title 33 of the Code of Federal

Regulations. These changes will have no

substantive effect on the public and

publishing an NPRM and providing an

opportunity for public comment is
