SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
II. Procedural Matters

I. Background

    This final rule reflects the administrative action of changing the 
address of the Arizona State Office of the BLM. It changes the street 
address for the personal filing of documents relating to public lands 
in Arizona, but makes no other changes in filing requirements. The BLM 
has determined that it has no substantive impact on the public, imposes 
no costs, and merely updates a list of addresses included in the Code 
of Federal Regulations for the convenience of the public. The 
Department of the Interior, therefore, for good cause finds under 5 
U.S.C. 553 (b)(B) and 553 (d)(3) that notice and public comment 
procedures are unnecessary and that the rule may take effect upon 
publication.

II. Procedural Matters

Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Order 12866)

    This final rule is an administrative action to change the address 
for one BLM State Office. This rule was not subject to review by the 
Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866. It imposes 
no costs, and merely updates a list of addresses included in the Code 
of Federal Regulations for the convenience of the public.

National Environmental Policy Act

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having 
no effect upon the public or the environment, it has been determined 
that the rule is categorically excluded from review under section 
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 
4332(2)(C)).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Congress enacted the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 
601, et seq.) to ensure that Government regulations do not 
unnecessarily or disproportionately burden small entities. This final 
rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having no effects 
upon the public or the environment, it has been determined that the 
rule will not have a significant effect on the economy or small 
entities.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having 
no effects upon the public or the economy. This is not a major rule 
under Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (5 U.S.C. 
804(2)). It should not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 
million or more. The rule will not cause a major increase in costs of 
prices for consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local 
government agencies, or geographic regions. It will not have 
significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, 
productivity, innovation, or the ability of United States-based 
enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises.

Unfunded Mandate Reform Act of Act

    The BLM has determined that the final rule is not significant under 
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 because it will not result in 
the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the 
aggregates, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any 
one year.
    Further, the final rule will not significantly or uniquely affect 
small governments. It does not require action by any non-federal 
government entity. Therefore, the information required by the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.), is not required.

Executive Order 12630, Government Action and Interference With 
Constitutionally Protected Property Rights (Takings)

    As required by Executive Order 12630, the Department of the 
Interior has determined that the rule would not cause a taking of 
private property. No private property rights would be affected by a 
rule that merely reports an address change for the Arizona State 
Office. The Department therefore certifies that this final rule does 
not represent a governmental action capable of interference with 
constitutionally protected property rights.

Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    In accordance with Executive Order 13132, the BLM finds that the 
rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the 
preparation of a federalism summary impact statement. The final rule 
does not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the 
relationship between the national governments and the States, or the 
distribution of power and the responsibilities among the various levels 
of government. This final rule does not preempt State law.

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having 
no effects upon the public and will not unduly burden the judicial 
system and meets the requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the 
Executive Order.

Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal 
Governments

    In accordance with the Executive Order 13175, the BLM finds that 
the rule does not include policies that have tribal implications. This 
final rule is a purely an administrative action having no effects upon 
the public or the environment, imposing no costs, and merely updating 
the BLM, Arizona State Office address included in the Code of Federal 
Regulations.

Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    In accordance with the Executive Order 13211, the BLM has 
determined that the final rule will not have substantial direct effects 
on the energy supply, distribution or use, including a shortfall in 
supply or price increase. This final rule is a purely administrative 
action and has no implications under Executive Order 13211.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the rule does 
not contain any information collection requirements that require the 
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, 
et seq.

Author

    The principal author of this rule is Diane O. Williams, Regulatory 
Affairs Group (WO 630).
