Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 85 / Monday, May 4, 1998 / Proposed Rules 24517

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities,

because this rule imposes no additional

regulatory requirements, but merely

expands the types of flares that may be

used to meet the requirements of 40 CFR

parts 60 and 63. The Administrator

certifies that this rule will not have a

significant economic impact on small

entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

Under section 202 of the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(‘‘Unfunded Mandates Act’’), signed

into law on March 22, 1995, the EPA

must prepare a budgetary impact

statement to accompany any proposed

or final standards that include a Federal

mandate that may result in estimated

costs to State, local, or tribal

governments, or to the private sector, of,

in the aggregate, $100 million or more.

Under section 205, the EPA must select

the most cost effective and least

burdensome alternative that achieves

the objectives of the standard and is

consistent with statutory requirements.

Section 203 requires the EPA to

establish a plan for informing and

advising any small governments that

may be significantly or uniquely

impacted by the standards.

The EPA has determined that the final

standards do not include a Federal

mandate that may result in estimated

costs of, in the aggregate, $100 million

or more to either State, local, or tribal

governments, or to the private sector,

nor do the standards significantly or

uniquely impact small governments,

because they contain no requirements

that apply to such governments or

impose obligations upon them.

Therefore, the requirements of the

Unfunded Mandates Act do not apply to

this proposed rule.
