DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS 

AFFAIRS 

38 CFR Part 2 

RIN 2900–AM18 

Delegations of Authority—National 

Cemetery Administration 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the 

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 

regulation, ‘‘Secretary’s delegations of 

authority to certain officials.’’ The 

amendment updates the regulation 

governing certain delegations of 

authority exercised by the Under 

Secretary for Memorial Affairs. This 

minor technical amendment provides 

delegation of authority from the 

Secretary of Veterans Affairs to the 

Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs to 

accept monetary and/or non-monetary 

gifts and donations, made in any 

manner, which are made for the purpose 

of beautifying or benefiting national 

cemeteries. The authority to accept 

offers of land will remain with the 

Secretary of Veterans Affairs. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 16, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patrick Hallinan, Deputy Director, 

Office of Field Programs (41A), National 

Cemetery Administration, Department 

of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420; 

telephone: (202) 273–5229 (this is not a 

toll-free number). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

provisions of 38 U.S.C. 2407 authorize 

the Secretary to ‘‘accept gifts, devises, or 

bequests from legitimate societies and 

organizations or reputable individuals, 

made in any manner, which are made 

for the purpose of beautifying national 

cemeteries, or are determined to be 

beneficial to such cemetery.’’ Currently, 

under 38 CFR 2.6(f)(3), the Secretary has 

delegated authority to the Under 

Secretary for Memorial Affairs ‘‘[t]o 

accept donations of a minor nature, 

such as, individual trees for planting in 

burial areas and privately purchased 

grave markers.’’ (Emphasis added) The 

current regulatory language no longer 

reflects the needs of the agency since 

the National Cemetery Administration 

frequently receives offers for donations 

that may be perceived as more than 

‘‘minor in nature.’’ Such offers have 

included heavy equipment, rose 

gardens, cash, and electric vehicles. 

Providing authority to the National 

Cemetery Administration to accept 

donations, regardless of monetary value, 

would be commensurate with the 

authority that has been provided to the 

Veterans Health Administration and the 

Veterans Benefits Administration. The 

Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs 

will notify the Secretary when making 

decisions to accept or decline gifts and 

donations of offers that are unique, 

unusual or substantial in nature, or that 

may be of public interest because of the 

subject of the offer or identity of the 

donor. The authority to accept land will 

remain with the Secretary. The Under 

Secretary for Memorial Affairs will 

continue to refer all offers of land to the 

Secretary, with supporting information 

and a recommendation for action. 

This rule revises paragraph (f)(3) to 38 

CFR 2.6 by removing the reference ‘‘[t]o 

accept donations of a minor nature, 

such as, individual trees for planting in 

burial areas and privately purchased 

grave markers’’ and adding ‘‘[t]o accept 

all donations, except offers of land, 

made in any manner, for the 

beautification or benefit of national 

cemeteries.’’

Administrative Procedure Act 

This final rule states rules of agency 

procedure or practice and is therefore 

exempt from the notice and public 

comment procedures of 5 U.S.C. 553(b). 

Further, this final rule is not a 

substantive rule and, consequently, the 

delayed effective date provisions of 5 

U.S.C. 553(d) are not applicable. 

Unfunded Mandates 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that 

agencies prepare an assessment of 

anticipated costs and benefits before 

issuing any rule that may result in an 

expenditure by State, local, or tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

(adjusted annually for inflation) in any 

given year. This rule would have no 

such effect on State, local, or tribal 

governments, or the private sector. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This document contains no provisions 

constituting a collection of information 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3521). 

Executive Order 12866 

Executive Order 12866 directs 

agencies to assess all costs and benefits 

of available regulatory alternatives and, 

when regulation is necessary, to select 

regulatory approaches that maximize 

net benefits (including potential 

economic, environmental, public health 

and safety, and other advantages; 

distributive impacts; and equity). The 

Executive Order classifies a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action,’’ requiring review by 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 51 / Friday, March 16, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 12565 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) unless OMB waives such review, 

as any regulatory action that is likely to 

result in a rule that may: (1) Have an 

annual effect on the economy of $100 

million or more or adversely affect in a 

material way the economy, a sector of 

the economy, productivity, competition, 

jobs, the environment, public health or 

safety, or State, local, or tribal 

governments or communities; (2) create 

a serious inconsistency or otherwise 

interfere with an action taken or 

planned by another agency; (3) 

materially alter the budgetary impact of 

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 

programs or the rights and obligations of 

recipients thereof; or (4) raise novel 

legal or policy issues arising out of legal 

mandates, the President’s priorities, or 

the principles set forth in the Executive 

Order. 

The economic, interagency, 

budgetary, legal, and policy 

implications of this final rule have been 

examined and it has been determined 

not to be a significant regulatory action 

under Executive Order 12866. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Secretary of Veterans Affairs 

hereby certifies that this final rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

as they are defined in the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612. This 

final rule would not directly impact any 

small entities or individuals. Therefore, 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), this final 

rule is exempt from the initial and final 

regulatory flexibility analysis 

requirements of sections 603–604. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

The Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance numbers for the programs 

affected by this final rule are 64.201 and 

64.202.

POSTAL SERVICE 

39 CFR Part 232 

Conduct on Postal Property; Weapons 

Prohibition 

AGENCY: Postal Service. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Postal Service is 

amending the rules for conduct on 

Postal Service property to clarify the 

prohibition of carrying or storing on 

Postal Service property any firearms or 

other dangerous weapons, or deadly 

weapons or explosives, except for 

official purposes. 

DATES: Effective March 16, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lawrence Katz, Inspector in Charge, 

Office of Counsel, U.S. Postal Inspection 

Service, 202–268–7732. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

amendment to the prohibition of 

carrying, either openly or concealed, or 

storing any firearms, other dangerous or 

deadly weapons or explosives on Postal 

Service property is to clarify the rule, 

ensuring that these items are only 

possessed for official purposes. This 

change would eliminate potential 

conflicts with other laws, rules or 

regulations which may allow the 

possession of these articles for other 

than official purposes.
