DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

31 CFR Subtitles A and B 

Semiannual Agenda and Fiscal Year 

2017 Regulatory Plan 

AGENCY: Department of the Treasury. 

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda 

and annual regulatory plan. 

SUMMARY: This notice is given pursuant 

to the requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act and Executive Order 

(E.O.) 12866 (‘‘Regulatory Planning and 

Review’’), which require the publication 

by the Department of a semiannual 

agenda of regulations. E.O. 12866 also 

requires the publication by the 

Department of a regulatory plan for the 

upcoming fiscal year. The purpose of 

the agenda is to provide advance 

information about pending regulatory 

activities and encourage public 

participation in the regulatory process. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

Agency Contact identified in the item 

relating to that regulation. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

semiannual regulatory agenda includes 

regulations that the Department has 

issued or expects to issue and rules 

currently in effect that are under 

departmental or bureau review. For this 

edition of the regulatory agenda, the 

most important significant regulatory 

actions and a Statement of Regulatory 

Priorities are included in the Regulatory 

Plan, which appears in both the online 

Unified Agenda and in part II of the 

Federal Register publication that 

includes the Unified Agenda. 

Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, 

the internet has been the primary 

medium for disseminating the Unified 

Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda 

will be available online at 

www.reginfo.gov and 

www.regulations.gov, in a format that 

offers users an enhanced ability to 

obtain information from the Agenda 

database. Because publication in the 

Federal Register is mandated for the 

regulatory flexibility agenda required by 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

602), Treasury’s printed agenda entries 

include only: 

(1) Rules that are in the regulatory 

flexibility agenda, in accordance with 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because 

they are likely to have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities; and 

(2) Rules that have been identified for 

periodic review under section 610 of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Printing of these entries is limited to 

fields that contain information required 

by the Regulatory Flexibility Act’s 

Agenda requirements. Additional 

information on these entries is available 

in the Unified Agenda published on the 

internet. In addition, for fall editions of 

the Agenda, the entire Regulatory Plan 

will continue to be printed in the 

Federal Register, as in past years. 

The Department has listed in this 

agenda all regulations and regulatory 

reviews pending at the time of 

publication, except for technical, minor, 

and routine actions. On occasion, a 

regulatory matter may be inadvertently 

left off of the agenda or an emergency 

may arise that requires the Department 

to initiate a regulatory action not yet on 

the agenda. There is no legal 

significance to the omission of an item 

from this agenda. For most entries, 

Treasury includes a projected date for 

the next rulemaking action; however, 

the date is an estimate and is not a 

commitment to publish on the projected 

date. In addition, some agenda entries 

are marked as ‘‘withdrawn’’ when there 

has been no publication activity. 

Withdrawal of a rule from the agenda 

does not necessarily mean that a rule 

will not be included in a future agenda 

but may mean that further consideration 

is warranted and that the regulatory 

action is unlikely in the next 12 months. 

Public participation in the rulemaking 

process is the foundation of effective 

regulations. For this reason, the 

Department invites comments on all 

regulatory and de-regulatory items 

included in the agenda and invites 

input on items that should be included 

in the semiannual agenda. 

Brian J. Sonfield, 

Assistant General Counsel for General Law 

and Regulation.
