Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 17 / Thursday, January 25, 1996 / Rules and Regulations 2117

Essentially, the capitalization of certain

words (Act, custodian, civil

investigative demand) was made

consistent throughout the regulation,

and the term ‘‘civil investigation

demand’’ was changed to ‘‘civil

investigative demand,’’ which is the

term used in the statute.

The above-mentioned interim rule

included a 60-day public comment

period. The Department received no

comments before the comment period

expired on October 24, 1995. The

Department has determined to issue the

rule in final form without revision to the

interim rule.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Attorney General, in accordance

with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 605(b)), has reviewed this

regulation and by approving it certifies

that this regulation will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

Executive Order 12612

This regulation will not have

substantial direct effects on the states,

on the relationship between the national

government and the states, or on the

distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612,

it is determined that this rule does not

have sufficient federalism implications

to warrant the preparation of a

Federalism Assessment.

Executive Order 12866

This regulation has been drafted and

reviewed in accordance with Executive

Order 12866, § 1(b), Principles of

Regulation. The Department of Justice

has determined that this rule is not a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866, § 3(f), and

accordingly this rule has not been

reviewed by the Office of Management

and Budget.

Accordingly, the interim rule

amending 28 CFR part 49 that was

published at 60 FR 44276 on August 25,

1995, as corrected at 60 FR 61290 on

November 29, 1995, is adopted as a final

rule without change.

Dated: January 16, 1996.

Janet Reno,

Attorney General.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

29 CFR Part 215

RIN 1294–AA14

Office of Labor-Management

Programs; Guidelines, Section 5333(b),

Federal Transit Law

AGENCY: Office of Labor-Management

Programs, Office of the American

Workplace, Labor.

ACTION: Confirmation of effective date.

SUMMARY: The Office of LaborManagement Programs published a

notice in the January 5, 1996 Federal

Register (61 FR 386) deferring the

effective date of implementation of

guidelines for the employee protection

program under Title 49 U.S.C., Chapter

53, Section 5333(b) of the Federal

Transit law. Pursuant to the January 5,

notice, the original effective date,

January 8, 1996, was extended for a

period equal to the duration of the

furlough caused by the partial

government shutdown that began on

December 16, 1995.

This document announces and

confirms that the new effective date of

the guidelines will be January 29, 1996.

This action was taken because the

temporary closing of government offices

and the furlough of Department of Labor

(the Department) employees responsible

for the administration of this program

precluded the Office of LaborManagement Programs from

undertaking the necessary staff training

and preparation of materials and

documents to allow for implementation

of the guidelines.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The new effective date

of the guidelines is January 29, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Rationale

The Office of Labor-Management

Programs, Office of the American

Workplace, hereby confirms that

January 29, 1996 will be the new

effective date of the guidelines for the

administration of the transit employee

protection program pursuant to Section

5333(b) of the Federal Transit law,

commonly referred to as ‘‘Section

13(c)’’, (FR Vol. 60, No. 235, pg. 62964,

December 7, 1995).

II. Publication in Final

The Department finds good cause that

public comment on the confirmation of

the effective date of these guidelines to

be impracticable and unnecessary

because the Department is forced to take

this action due to the temporary closing

of Federal offices and the furlough,

caused by the partial government

shutdown, affecting the Department

employees who administer this

program. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

Accordingly, the amendment of 29
