38852 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 16, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

EPA explain the reasons for departing 

from the Codex level. 

The Codex has not established a MRL 

for 1-triacontanol. 

VIII. Conclusions 

Based on its assessment of 1- 

triacontanol, EPA concludes that there 

is a reasonable certainty that no harm 

will result to the general population, or 

to infants and children, from aggregate 

exposure to 1-triacontanol. Therefore, 

an exemption is established for residues 

of 1-triacontanol on all food 

commodities when used in accordance 

with label directions and good 

agricultural practices. 

IX. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes a tolerance 

under FFDCA section 408(d) in 

response to a petition submitted to the 

Agency. The Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) has exempted these types 

of actions from review under Executive 

Order 12866, entitled ‘‘Regulatory 

Planning and Review’’ (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993). Because this action 

has been exempted from review under 

Executive Order 12866, this action is 

not subject to Executive Order 13211, 

entitled ‘‘Actions Concerning 

Regulations That Significantly Affect 

Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 

FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive 

Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997). This action does not 

contain any information collections 

subject to OMB approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require 

any special considerations under 

Executive Order 12898, entitled 

‘‘Federal Actions to Address 

Environmental Justice in Minority 

Populations and Low-Income 

Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16, 

1994). 

Since tolerances and exemptions that 

are established on the basis of a petition 

under FFDCA section 408(d), such as 

the tolerance in this final rule, do not 

require the issuance of a proposed rule, 

the requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et 

seq.), do not apply. 

This action directly regulates growers, 

food processors, food handlers, and food 

retailers, not States or tribes, nor does 

this action alter the relationships or 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities established by Congress 

in the preemption provisions of FFDCA 

section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency 

has determined that this action will not 

have a substantial direct effect on States 

or tribal governments, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States or tribal 

governments, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government or between 

the Federal Government and Indian 

tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined 

that Executive Order 13132, entitled 

‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999) and Executive Order 13175, 

entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 

67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply 

to this action. In addition, this action 

does not impose any enforceable duty or 

contain any unfunded mandate as 

described under Title II of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 

1501 et seq.). 

This action does not involve any 

technical standards that would require 

Agency consideration of voluntary 

consensus standards pursuant to section 

12(d) of the National Technology 

Transfer and Advancement Act 

(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). 

X. Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), EPA will 

submit a report containing this rule and 

other required information to the U.S. 

Senate, the U.S. House of 

Representatives, and the Comptroller 

General of the United States prior to 

publication of the rule in the Federal 

Register. This action is not a ‘‘major 

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

RIN 2700–AE42 

NASA FAR Supplement: Preproposal/ 

Pre-Bid Conference (2017–N023) 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NASA is issuing a direct final 

rule to amend the NASA FAR 

Supplement (NFS) to remove reference 

to the NASA Acquisition Information 

System (NAIS) electronic posting 

system and revise titles to agency 

directives. 

DATES: This direct final rule is effective 

October 16, 2017. Comments due on or 

before September 15, 2017. If adverse 

comments are received, NASA will 

publish a timely withdrawal of the rule 

in the Federal Register. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Manuel Quinones, NASA, Office of 

Procurement, telephone 202.358.2143. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

During a recent quality review of the 

NFS to validate the accuracy and 

relevancy of its policy, guidance, and 

procedures, we discovered (1) an 

outdated reference to the NASA 

Acquisition Information System (NAIS) 

for posting agency business 

opportunities and (2) superseded titles 

to NASA directives. NASA posts all 

business opportunities through the 

Governmentwide Point of Entry (GPE) 

via the Internet at http://

www.fedbizopps.gov and agency 

directives are periodically reviewed and 

updated. This rule amends NFS 

1852.215–77 and 1852.245–82 to 

remove the reference to the NAIS 

electronic posting system and update 

titles to NASA policy directives 

respectively. 

NASA has not published a proposed 

rule in the Federal Register to make 

these nonsubstantive changes because 

they affect only the internal operating 

procedures of the Government and have 

no significant cost or administrative or 

cost impact on contractors or offerors. 

NASA does not anticipate opposition to 

the changes or significant adverse 

comments. However, if the Agency 

receives a significant adverse comment, 

it will withdraw this direct final rule by 

publishing a notice in the Federal 

Register. A significant adverse comment 

is one that explains: (1) Why the direct 

final rule is inappropriate, including 


pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 16, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 38853 

challenges to the rule’s underlying 

premise or approach; or (2) why the 

direct final rule will be ineffective or 

unacceptable without a change. In 

determining whether a comment 

necessitates withdrawal of this direct 

final rule, NASA will consider whether 

it warrants a substantive response in a 

notice and comment process. 

II. Publication of This Final Rule for 

Public Comment Is Not Required by 

Statute 

Publication of proposed regulations’’, 

41 U.S.C. 1707, is the statute which 

applies to the publication of the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation. Paragraph (a)(1) 

of the statute requires that a 

procurement policy, regulation, 

procedure or form (including an 

amendment or modification thereof) 

must be published for public comment 

if it relates to the expenditure of 

appropriated funds, and has either a 

significant effect beyond the internal 

operating procedures of the agency 

issuing the policy, regulation, procedure 

or form, or has a significant cost or 

administrative impact on contractors or 

offerors. This direct final rule is not 

required to be published for public 

comment because it makes 

nonsubstantive changes to Agency 

regulations. It merely removes from the 

NASA FAR Supplement a reference to 

the NASA Acquisition Information 

System (NAIS) posting system and 

updates titles to agency-level directives. 

III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 

13563 direct agencies to assess all costs 

and benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health, and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. This is not a significant 

regulatory action and, therefore, was not 

subject to review under section 6(b) of 

E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. This 

rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 

804. 

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act does 

not apply to this rule because this final 

rule does not constitute a significant 

NFS revision within the meaning of 

FAR 1.501–1 and 41 U.S.C. 1707 and 

therefore does not require publication 

for public comment. 

V. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The rule does not contain any 

information collection requirements that 

require the approval of the Office of 

Management and Budget under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35).

ACTION: Temporary rule; inseason quota 

transfer. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is transferring 30 

metric tons (mt) of Atlantic bluefin tuna 

(BFT) quota from the Reserve category 

to the Harpoon category. With this 

transfer, the adjusted Harpoon category 

quota for the 2017 fishing season is 68.6 

mt. The 2017 Harpoon category fishery 

is open until November 15, 2017, or 

until the Harpoon category quota is 

reached, whichever comes first. The 

action is based on consideration of the 

regulatory determination criteria 

regarding inseason adjustments, and 

applies to Atlantic tunas Harpoon 

category (commercial) permitted 

vessels. 

DATES: Effective August 11, 2017
