[Docket No. FRA-2008-0128]
RIN 2130-AB99
 AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of Transportation (DOT).
 ACTION: Final rule.
 SUMMARY: FRA is amending a number of its regulations to update the address of the physical headquarters of FRA and the U.S. DOT in Washington, DC. FRA is also amending references to the Central Docket Management System (DMS) to reflect DOT's migration to the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS). This rule also modifies requirements for submitting petitions to the Railroad Safety Board, to make the requirements consistent with current FRA practice. Lastly, this rule updates outdated authority citations and removes parts for which authority no longer exists.
 DATES: Effective May 27, 2009.
 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth A. Gross, Trial Attorney, Office of Chief Counsel, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Mail Stop 10, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone 202-493-1342), 
                        *elizabeth.gross@dot.gov.*


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In December 2007, FRA moved its offices to the new U.S. DOT Headquarters located at 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590. This final rule updates 49 CFR subtitle B, chapter II to accurately reflect the new address of FRA and DOT. This address change only affects FRA offices previously located at 1120 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20590 and the DOT Headquarters previously located at 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. FRA offices located elsewhere are not affected. Additionally, on October 26, 2007, all data on DOT's Central Docket Management System migrated to the Federal Docket Management System. This rule amends outdated references to DOT's Docket Management System in order to accurately reflect DOT's conversion to the new docket system. This rule also changes requirements for submitting 
                    ( print page 25170)
                    petitions to the Railroad Safety Board, to make clear that only one copy of a petition needs to be submitted instead of three, and that petitions should be submitted to the Docket Clerk instead of the Secretary of the Railroad Safety Board. This rule also updates outdated authority citations that were either repealed or were from a prior version of the United States Code. It also removes part 201, “Formal Rules of Practice for Passenger Service,” which prescribed procedures for FRA consideration of proposals to increase speed or add trains pursuant to subsections 402(f) and (h) of the Rail Passenger Service Act of 1970, Public Law 91-518, 84 Stat. 1335. DOT's authority for this part was transferred to the Surface Transportation Board in section 213 of the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008, Public Law 110-432, Div. B, 122 Stat. 4848 (2008). This rule also removes part 245, “Railroad User Fees” which imposed a schedule of fees on railroads to cover the costs incurred by FRA in administering the Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970, Public Law 91-458, 84 Stat. 971. Under 49 U.S.C. 20115(e), the statutory authority for this part expired in 1995. Lastly, the rule removes the name of a former FRA Administrator. Public Participation This is a final rule and there has been no notice of proposed rulemaking or opportunity for public comment. The amendments are administrative in nature and merely correct outdated references and amend procedures for submitting petitions to the Railroad Safety Board. FRA is not exercising its discretion in a way that could be informed by public comment. As such, FRA finds that notice and public comment procedures are “impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest” under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). For the same reasons, FRA has determined that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making these amendments effective upon publication. Regulatory Impact A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures This final rule has been evaluated in accordance with existing policies and procedures. It is not considered a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 and was not reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is also not significant under the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the Department of Transportation (44 FR 11304). This rule merely updates outdated references to FRA's address and docket system, and makes 
                    *de minimis*
                     changes to procedures for submitting petitions to the Railroad Safety Board. As such, the economic impact of this final rule is minimal and preparation of a regulatory evaluation is not warranted. B. Executive Order 13132 This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 (“Federalism”). This final rule does not have a substantial effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, preparation of a Federalism assessment under Executive Order 13132 is not warranted. C. Executive Order 13175 This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (“Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments”). Because this final rule does not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of the Indian tribal governments and does not impose substantial direct compliance costs, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order 13175 do not apply. D. Regulatory Flexibility Act FRA certifies that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This final rule only corrects outdated references to the address of FRA and DOT, updates references to DOT's docket system, and changes procedures for submitting petitions to the Railroad Safety Board. E. Paperwork Reduction Act This final rule contains no new information collection requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). F. Compliance With the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 This final rule will not result in the expenditure, in the aggregate, of $132,300,000 or more in any one year by State, local, or Indian Tribal governments, or the private sector, and thus preparation of a statement is not required. G. Environmental Assessment There are no significant environmental impacts associated with this final rule. H. Energy Impact According to definitions set forth in Executive Order 13211, there will be no significant energy action as a result of the issuance of this final rule.
