ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

This rule is being revised to raise the

dollar threshold for small purchases by

State and local grantees in accordance

with the National Performance Review

recommendation and to be consistent

with the accompanying

governmentwide common rule.

Section 18.6, Additions and

exceptions. This section has been

revised to codify the current DOT policy

for the review and concurrence of

exceptions by the Assistant Secretary for

Administration to ensure conformance

with overall Department policies.

Regulatory Analyses and Notices

Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory

Planning and Review) and DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures

The Department of Transportation has

determined that this rulemaking is not

a significant regulatory action within

the meaning of Executive Order 12866,

nor a significant regulation under the

Department’s Regulatory Policies and

Procedures. The regulations should

create savings for recipients by reducing

the costs of administering grants. The

DOT Operating Administrations award

approximately $23 billion through 40

separate assistance programs annually.

An undetermined portion of these funds

are utilized for small purchases.

Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 605(b)) requires that, for each

rule with a ‘‘significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities,’’ an analysis be prepared

describing the rule’s impact on small

entities and identifying any significant

alternatives to the rule that would

minimize the economic impact on small

entities. We certify that these

regulations will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities, but rather

modify and update administrative and

procedural requirements.

Executive Order 12612 (Federalism

Assessment)

This action has been analyzed in

accordance with the principles and

criteria contained in Executive Order

12612. The rule primarily applies to

State or local governments. This action

may have some Federalism benefits by

removing some procedural restrictions

on grantees; however, the Department

certifies that this proposal does not have

sufficient Federalism implications to

warrant a full Federalism assessment

under the principles and criteria

contained in Executive Order 12612.

Paperwork Reduction Act

We certify that this rule would not

impose any additional reporting or

recordkeeping requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, 44

U.S.C. Chapter 35.
