DOT is making corrections to amendments to a number of its regulations that were published in the Federal Register on June 12, 2008 (73 FR 33326-30) to reflect reorganization of some elements of DOT and the move of DOT's Headquarters site in Washington, DC.
Robert I. Ross, Office of the General Counsel, C-60, Room W96-314, Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590; telephone 202.366.9156; fax 202.366.9170; e-mail: bob.ross@dot.gov.
These corrections affect the following:
1. DOT moved its Headquarters in Washington, DC to a new site.
2. The Chief Information Officer has replaced the Assistant Secretary for Administration as the DOT Chief Privacy Officer.
3. A mistake was made in the definition of “Department” in our Freedom of Information regulations.
4. The list of exemptions in our Freedom of Information regulations are reorganized and corrected to reflect the transfer of motor carrier safety oversight from the Federal Highway Administration to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Since this amendment relates to departmental management, organization, procedure, and practice, notice and comment are unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b). Further, since the amendment expedites the Department's ability to meet the statutory intent of the applicable laws and regulations covered by this delegation, I find good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for the final rule to be effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register.
This final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034). It was not reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. There are no costs associated with this rule.
Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553, the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. We also do not believe this rule would impose any costs on small entities because it simply delegates authority from one official to another and makes other nonsubstantive corrections. Therefore, I certify this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
For the reasons discussed in the preamble, Subtitle A of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, is amended as follows:
Start Printed Page 5244 Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552; 31 U.S.C. 9701; 49 U.S.C. 322; E.O. 12600; 3 CFR, 1987 Comp., p. 235.
2. In Section 7.2, the introductory text of the definition of ‘Department' is revised to read as follows:
Department means the Department of Transportation, including the Office of the Secretary, the Office of Inspector General, and the following DOT Operating Administrations, all of which may be referred to as DOT components. Means of contacting each of these DOT components appear in § 7.15. This definition specifically excludes the Surface Transportation Board, which has its own FOIA regulations (49 CFR Part 1001):
4. In § 10.77, paragraph (c) is amended by removing ‘Assistant Secretary for Administration' and replacing it with ‘Chief Information Officer'.
5. In Appendix to Part 10—Exemptions, paragraph A of Part II is amended by removing paragraphs 3. through 12., and adding new paragraphs 3. through 7. to read as follows:
§ 40.213
6. In § 40.213(a), remove the words, “400 7th Street, SW., Room 10403” and add, in their place, the words “1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.”.
Issued under authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.57(j) at Washington, DC, on January 19, 2010.
