2880 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

(4) This regulatory change does not 

raise novel legal or policy issues. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Commission certifies that this 

rule will not have a significant 

economic effect on a substantial number 

of small entities under the Regulatory 

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

because the rule makes annual 

adjustments for inflation. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act 

This final rule is not a major rule 

under 5 U.S.C. 804(2), the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act. It will not result in the 

expenditure by state, local, or tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector of $100 million or more 

in any one year. The rule will not result 

in a major increase in costs or prices for 

consumers, individual industries, 

federal, state, or local government 

agencies, or geographic regions. Nor will 

this rule have significant adverse effects 

on competition, employment, 

investment, productivity, innovation, or 

the ability of the U.S.-based enterprises 

to compete with foreign-based 

enterprises. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

This final rule does not impose an 

unfunded mandate of more than $100 

million per year on state, local, or tribal 

governments or the private sector. The 

rule also does not have a significant or 

unique effect on state, local, or tribal 

governments or the private sector. 

Therefore, a statement containing the 

information required by the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.) is not required. 

Takings 

Under the criteria in Executive Order 

12630, this final rule does not affect 

individual property rights protected by 

the Fifth Amendment nor does it 

involve a compensable ‘‘taking.’’ Thus, 

a takings implication assessment is not 

required. 

Federalism 

Under the criteria in Executive Order 

13132, this final rule has no substantial 

direct effect on the states, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the states, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

Civil Justice Reform 

This final rule complies with the 

requirements of Executive Order 12988. 

Specifically, this rule has been reviewed 

to eliminate errors and ambiguity and 

written to minimize litigation. It is 

written in clear language and contains 

clear legal standards. 

Consultation With Indian Tribes 

In accordance with the President’s 

memorandum of April 29, 1994, 

Government-to-Government Relations 

with Native American Tribal 

Governments, Executive Order 13175 

(59 FR 22951, November 6, 2000), the 

Commission has determined that 

consultations with Indian gaming tribes 

is not practicable, as Congress has 

mandated that annual civil penalty 

adjustments in the Act be implemented 

no later than January 15th of each year. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This final rule does not affect any 

information collections under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

This final rule does not constitute a 

major federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment. 

Information Quality Act 

In developing this final rule, the 

Commission did not conduct or use a 

study, experiment, or survey requiring 

peer review under the Information 

Quality Act (Pub. L. 106–554). 

Effects on the Energy Supply 

This final rule is not a significant 

energy action under the definition in 

Executive Order 13211. A Statement of 

Energy Effects is not required. 

Clarity of This Regulation 

The Commission is required by 

Executive Orders 12866 and 12988 and 

by the Presidential Memorandum of 

June 1, 1998, to write all rules in plain 

language. This means that each rule that 

the Commission publishes must: 

(a) Be logically organized; 

(b) Use the active voice to address 

readers directly; 

(c) Use clear language rather than 

jargon; 

(d) Be divided into short sections and 

sentences; and 

(e) Use lists and tables wherever 

possible. 

Required Determinations Under the 

Administrative Procedure Act 

In accordance with the Act, agencies 

are to annually adjust civil monetary 

penalties without providing an 

opportunity for notice and comment, 

and without a delay in its effective date. 

Therefore, the Commission is not 

required to complete a notice and 

comment process prior to promulgation.

procedure, Gaming, Indian lands, 

Penalties.

preamble, the Commission amends 25
