[Docket No. 110613329–1329–01] 

RIN 0605–AA29 

15 CFR Part 4 

Disclosure of Government Information 

AGENCY: Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends the 

Department of Commerce’s 

(Department) Freedom of Information 

Act (FOIA) regulations by changing the 

officials authorized to deny requests for 

records under the Freedom of 

Information Act, and requests for 

correction or amendment under the 

Privacy Act (PA), for the Office of 

Inspector General. 

DATES: Effective Date: July 7, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Wade Green, Jr., Counsel to the 

Inspector General, Office of Inspector 

General, 202–482–5992. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

regulations at Appendix B to 15 CFR 

part 4 designate the officials authorized 

to deny requests for records under the 

FOIA, and requests for records and 

requests for correction or amendment 

under the PA. The Department of 

Commerce amends these regulations by 

changing the designated officials for the 

‘‘Office of Inspector General from the 

Counsel to the Inspector General; 

Deputy Counsel to the Inspector 

General’’ to the ‘‘FOIA Officer; Senior 

Associate Counsel to the Inspector 

General.’’ 

Classification 

Executive Order 12866: It has been 

determined that this notice is not 

significant for purposes of E.O. 12866. 

Executive Order 13132: It has been 

determined that this notice does not 

contain policies with Federalism 

implications as that term is defined in 

E.O. 13132. 

Paperwork Reduction Act: This rule 

does not involve a collection of 

information and, therefore, does not 

implicate requirements of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 5201 et seq.) (PRA). 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person is required to respond to 

nor be subject to a penalty for failure to 

comply with a collection of information, 

subject to the requirements of the PRA, 

unless that collection of information 

displays a currently valid Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) Control 

Number. 

Administrative Procedure Act: 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A), prior 

notice and an opportunity for public 

comment are not required by the 

Administrative Procedure Act for rules 

concerning agency organization, 

procedure, or practice. This rule merely 

changes the name of the officials who 

are authorized to deny requests for 

records under the Freedom of 

Information Act, and requests for 

correction or amendment under the 

Privacy Act. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(e), the 

Department finds good cause to waive 

the 30-day delay in effectiveness. This 

rule merely changes the name of the 

officials who are authorized to deny 

requests for records under the Freedom 

of Information Act, and requests for 

correction or amendment under the 

Privacy Act. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act: Because 

notice and opportunity for comment are 

not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or 

any other law, the analytical 

requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are 

inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory 

flexibility analysis is not required and 

has not been prepared.

added Section 21F to the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. 78u–6, 

which creates a new program 

authorizing the Commission to make 

monetary awards to whistleblowers who 

provide the Commission with ‘‘original 

information’’ that leads to the successful 

enforcement of a ‘‘covered judicial or 

administrative action’’ or a ‘‘related 

action,’’ as those terms are defined in 

Section 21F(a), 15 U.S.C. 78u–6(a). 

Awards may be paid in connection with 

original information concerning any 

violation of the federal securities laws, 

and may range from 10 to 30 percent of 

the amounts collected as monetary 

sanctions imposed in the covered 

judicial or administrative action brought 

by the Commission or in related actions 

brought by other entities identified in 

the statute. 

To protect the identity of 

whistleblowers, Section 21F(h)(2)(A), 15 

U.S.C. 78u–6(h)(2)(A) provides that,
