therefore—(1) is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under Executive

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant

preparation of a regulatory evaluation as

the anticipated impact is so minimal.

Since this is a routine matter that will

only affect air traffic procedures and air

navigation, it is certified that this rule,

when promulgated, will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CHRB

Program was established in 1982 at 24

CFR part 120, under authority of Title

VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (42

U.S.C. 3601). The purpose of the

program is stated, at 24 CFR 120.5, as:

The purpose of the Community Housing

Resource Board Program is to provide

funding to Community Housing Resource

Boards (Resource Boards) that have the

responsibility of providing program

implementation assistance to housing

industry groups that have signed Voluntary

Affirmative Marketing Agreements (VAMA)

with HUD. The intent of the program is to

fulfill HUD’s contractual agreement to

provide technical assistance to local real

estate boards in achieving VAMA goals by

supporting projects that improve Resource

Board performance and increase their ability

to effectively plan, finance, and carry out

activities to assist signatory real estate boards

in fully implementing the provisions of the

VAMA.

Through Fiscal Year 1990, $15.274

million was appropriated and disbursed

to CHRBs under a competitive grant

process. Approximately 25–50 CHRBs

were funded each year. In order to be

eligible, projects must have been

directed at one or more of the following

areas:

(1) Making information public

regarding the goals of fair housing and

the VAMA;

(2) Assessing community fair housing

needs;

(3) Assessing the effectiveness of the

VAMA;

(4) Expanding minority involvement

in the industry;

(5) Expanding public awareness of

housing opportunities in the

community; and

(6) Developing cooperative solutions

to problems associated with the

implementation of the VAMA.

CHRB projects include developing

brochures, videos, and other outreach

materials; conducting fair housing

seminars and conferences to inform

realtors and other housing industry

professionals as well as the general

public of their rights and

responsibilities under the Fair Housing

Law; school poster contests where

children’s art work depicts ‘‘Fair

Housing for All’’; and scholarship

programs to attract minorities into the

real estate profession.

However, no funds have been

appropriated for the Community

Housing Resource Board (CHRB)

Program since Fiscal Year (FY) 1990.

There are several reasons for this. One

reason is that another source of funding

for the same activities was made

available. The Fair Housing Initiatives

Program (FHIP), established in 1987,

includes an Education and Outreach

Initiative. This Initiative funds

education and outreach projects

designed to inform members of the

public concerning their rights and

obligations under the provisions of fair

housing laws. As private, non-profit

organizations, CHRBs are eligible for

funding under the FHIP.

Another reason concerns

modifications to VAMAs since the

initiation of the CHRB Program. In 1991

HUD began negotiations with the

National Association of Realtors (NAR)

for a revised VAMA. One of the major

changes proposed by NAR was the

elimination of the requirement to utilize
19192 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 73 / Monday, April 17, 1995 / Proposed Rules

CHRBs for monitoring and

implementation of VAMA activity. The

new VAMA, signed by the Secretary of

HUD and the NAR President in June

1992, deletes this requirement. The

VAMA provides instead that local

Realtor Boards ‘‘formulate relationships

with civil rights, fair housing, and other

community based organizations with a

substantial interest in fair housing as a

conduit to meet fair housing and VAMA

objectives.’’ While some local Boards

continue to work closely with

established CHRBs in various fair

housing activities, the Department no

longer has a contractual agreement to

support VAMA implementation

activities through CHRBs.

Based on the foregoing, and as part of

the renewed effort to eliminate

duplicative and/or unnecessary

programs, the Department has

determined that the elimination of the

CHRB Program is appropriate. To

accomplish this end, this proposed rule

would remove and reserve 24 CFR part

120.

Findings and Certifications

Environmental Review

A Finding of No Significant Impact

with respect to the environment has

been made in accordance with HUD

regulations at 24 CFR part 50, which

implement section 102(2)(C) of the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969. The Finding of No Significant

Impact is available for public inspection

between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

weekdays in the Office of the Rules

Docket Clerk.

Impact on Small Entities

The Secretary, in accordance with the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.

605(b)), has reviewed this proposed rule

before publication and by approving it

certifies that this proposed rule does not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities.

The purpose of the proposed rule is to

eliminate a program determined to be

duplicative and unnecessary.

Regulatory Agenda

This proposed rule was listed as Item

No. 1865 in the Department’s

Semiannual Agenda of Regulations

published on November 14, 1994 (59 FR

57632, 57667) pursuant to Executive

Order 12866 and the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Federalism Impact

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official under section 6(a) of

Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has

determined that because this proposed

rule would eliminate a program

determined to be duplicative and

unnecessary, the policies contained in

this proposed rule will not have

substantial direct effects on states or

their political subdivisions, or the

relationship between the federal

government and the states, or on the

distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. As a result, the

proposed rule is not subject to review

under the order.

Impact on the Family

The General Counsel, as the

Designated Official under Executive

Order 12606, The Family, has

determined that this proposed rule does

not have the potential for direct impact

on family formation, maintenance, and

general well-being. The proposed rule

would only eliminate a program

determined to be duplicative and

unnecessary, and as such, no further

review is considered necessary.

List of Subjects in 24 CFR Part 120

Fair housing, Grant programs—

housing and community development.

Accordingly, and under the authority

of 42 U.S.C. 3535(d), chapter I of title 24

of the Code of Federal Regulations

would be amended by removing and

reserving part 120.

Dated: May 3, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On November 15, 1994, OSHA

published a notice of proposed

rulemaking on its respiratory protection

standard (59 FR 58884 et seq.). The

proposal is intended to update the

current respirator standard to reflect

changes in methodology, technology,

and approach related to respiratory

protection that have occurred since the

existing respiratory protection standard

was adopted in 1971.
