95See id. 

an environmental impact statement for 

any action that may have a significant 

effect on the human environment.85 The 

Commission has categorically excluded 

certain actions from this requirement as 

not having a significant effect on the 

human environment, including the 

promulgation of rules that are clarifying, 

corrective, or procedural, or that do not 

substantially change the effect of 

legislation or the regulations being 

amended.86 Because the final rule 

promulgated by Order No. 1977, and 

revised herein, falls within this 

categorical exclusion, preparation of an 

environmental assessment or an 

environmental impact statement is not 

required. 

V. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

53. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980 (RFA) 87 generally requires a 

description and analysis of final rules 

that will have significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. The RFA mandates 

consideration of regulatory alternatives 

that accomplish the stated objectives of 

applicable statutes and minimize any 

significant economic impact on small 

entities.88 In lieu of preparing a 

regulatory flexibility analysis, an agency 

may certify that a final rule will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities.89

54. The Small Business 

Administration’s (SBA) Office of Size 

Standards develops the numerical 

definition of a small business.90 The 

SBA size standard for electric utilities is 

based on the number of employees, 

including affiliates.91 Under SBA’s size 

standards, a transmission owner 

covered under the category of Electric 

Bulk Power Transmission and Control 

(NAICS code 221121) 92 is small if, 

including its affiliates, it employs 500 or 

fewer people.93

55. In Order No. 1977, the 

Commission, pursuant to RFA section 

605(b), certified that the final rule 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities.94 This order on rehearing does 

not disturb that conclusion. For the 

same reasons cited in Order No. 1977,95

we continue to find that the final rule, 

as revised herein, would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities.

(a) * * * 

(5) Includes a Tribal Engagement Plan 

that addresses all targeted outreach to 

identified Indian Tribes. This plan must 

summarize comments received from 

potentially affected Indian Tribes during 

any previous outreach activities and 

describe planned targeted outreach 

activities with such Tribes during the 

pre-filing process and after the filing of 

an application. This plan must also 

describe how the applicant will engage 

Indian Tribes about any potential 

mitigation measures. If rights-of-way 

over or across land owned in trust or 

restricted status must be obtained, this 

plan must describe how the applicant 

will engage with the relevant Indian 

Tribe or individual Indian landowners 

to obtain the necessary permissions, 

including consent to access Tribal land 

to prepare information required by the 

application (e.g., to survey), if 

applicable, and ensure communications 

with Indian Tribes are honest, factually 

accurate, and respectful of Tribal 

sovereignty.
