Congressional Review

The Department has found that this

rulemaking is not a rule as defined in 5

U.S.C. 804 and does not require review

by Congress. This rulemaking is related

to Department personnel.

Executive Order 12866

Since this rule relates to Personnel, it

is exempt from the provision of

Executive Order 12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department has determined

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. Chapter 6) that this regulation

will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities because it affects only

Department employees.

Paperwork Reduction Act

The Department has determined that

the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35) does not apply because this

regulation does not contain any

information collection requirements that

require the approval of the Office of

Management and Budget.

Environmental Impact

This decision will not have a

significant impact upon the quality of

the human environment or the

conservation of energy resources.

7 CFR Part 1422

RIN 0560–AF04

Standards for Approval of Cold

Storage Warehouses for Peanuts

AGENCY: Commodity Credit Corporation,

USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule removes

obsolete regulations pertaining to

approval of cold storage warehouses for

Washington, DC 20250–0514; or

telephone (202) 720–7914.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Executive Order 12866

This rule has been determined to be

not significant for the purposes of

Executive Order 12866 and therefore

has not been reviewed by the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

It has been determined that the

Regulatory Flexibility Act is not

applicable to this final rule since the

CCC is not required by 5 U.S.C. 553 or

any other provision of law to publish a

notice of final or proposed rulemaking

with respect to the subject matter of

these determinations.

Environmental Evaluation

It has been determined by an

environmental evaluation that this

action will not have a significant impact

on the quality of the human

environment. Therefore, neither an

Environmental Assessment nor an

Environmental Impact Statement is

needed.

Executive Order 12988

This final rule has been reviewed in

accordance with Executive Order 12988.

The provisions of the final rule do not

preempt State laws, are not retroactive,

and do not involve administrative

appeals.

Executive Order 12372

This program/activity is not subject to

the provisions of Executive Order

12372, which requires

intergovernmental consultation with

State and local officials. See the notice

related to 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V,

published at 48 FR 29115 (June 24,

1983).

Paperwork Reduction Act

The amendments to 7 CFR part 1422

set forth in this final rule do not contain

information collections that require

clearance by the OMB under the

provisions of 44 U.S.C. 35.

Background

This final rule removes 7 CFR part

1422 pertaining to the peanut price

support program. CCC no longer stores

peanut stocks it owns or controls in cold

storage warehouses. Therefore, the

regulations are obsolete. If cold storage

becomes needed, such storage can be

controlled by contract. Because this

action involves the removal of obsolete

regulations and does not affect the

interests of any member of the public,

this rule is being made effective

immediately. Delaying the rule for

comment is unnecessary and would be

contrary to the public interest.

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 1422

Peanuts, Price support and purchase

programs, Warehouses.

Accordingly, under the authority of 7

U.S.C. 2202 and 7 CFR 2.65(a)(14), 7

CFR Part 1422 is removed.

Signed at Washington, DC, on September

26, 1997.

Bruce R. Weber,

Acting Executive Vice President, Commodity

Credit Corporation.
