Redelegations of Authority Resulting 

From the America COMPETES Act 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, National Technical 

Information Service, and Under 

Secretary for Technology, United States 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Under Secretary of 

Commerce for Standards and 

Technology, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, issues a final rule that 

amends regulations to reflect the 

abolishment of the Technology 

Administration and the resulting 

redelegations of authority. 

DATES: This rule is effective on January

of certain publications listed in the rule 

is approved by the Director of the 

Federal Register as of January 23, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 9, 2007, the President 

signed into law the America 

COMPETES Act (Pub. L. 110–69) 

(‘‘COMPETES Act’’). In part, the 

COMPETES Act amended the 

Stevenson-Wydler Technology 

Innovation Act of 1980 (15 U.S.C. 3704) 

by abolishing the Technology 

Administration and repealing certain 

authorities of the Under Secretary for 

Technology. The Secretary of Commerce 

has redelegated the remaining 

authorities of the Under Secretary for 

Technology through a memorandum 

issued on November 14, 2007. This rule 

revises the pertinent regulations to 

reflect the changes in authorities as well 

as updates addresses and standards 

referenced in the regulations. 

Additional Information 

Executive Order 12866 

This rule has been determined not to 

be significant under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866. 

Executive Order 12612 

This rule does not contain policies 

with Federalism implications sufficient 

to warrant preparation of a Federalism 

assessment under Executive Order 

12612. 

Administrative Procedure Act 

Prior notice and an opportunity for 

public comment are not required for this 

rule of agency organization, procedure, 

or practice. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Because notice and comment are not 

required under 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. As such, a 

regulatory flexibility analysis is not 

required, and none has been prepared. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

Notwithstanding any other provision 

of the law, no person is required to, nor 

shall any person be subject to penalty 

for failure to comply with, a collection 

of information, subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, unless that collection of 

information displays a currently valid 

OMB Control Number. 

There are no collections of 

information involved in this 

rulemaking. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

This rule will not significantly affect 

the quality of the human environment. 

Therefore, an environmental assessment 

or Environmental Impact Statement is 

not required to be prepared under the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969.
