2. The Commission's Division of Regulatory Audits has been moved from the Office of the Executive Director (OED) to the Office of Market Oversight and Investigations (OMOI). It has been renamed the Division of Financial Audits (DFA). Among DFA's duties are financial audits, in which it reviews the accounting records and financial statements of jurisdictional companies to determine if they are complying with requirements of the Uniform Systems of Accounts and related Regulations of the Commission. DFA also performs other types of audits, in which it reviews the Start Printed Page 64660performance of a program, activity, or function in order to provide information to improve public accountability and facilitate decision-making by parties with responsibility to oversee or initiate corrective action.
4. In addition, the Commission's Division of Regulatory Accounting Policy has been moved from OED to the Office of Markets, Tariffs and Rates. Accounting Policy currently is headed by the Commission's Chief Accountant. The Commission's regulations, at 18 CFR 375.303, already contain several delegations made directly to the Chief Accountant; these delegations remain unchanged, although they are being renumbered in this rule. The following delegations are being added to § 375.303 to reflect the move from OED:
6. The Commission is required to prepare an Environmental Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement for any action that may have a significant adverse effect on the human environment.[1] The Commission has categorically excluded certain actions from this requirement as not having a significant effect on the human environment. Included is an exemption for procedural, ministerial or internal administrative actions.[2] This rulemaking is exempt under that provision.
7. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) [3] generally requires a description and analysis of final rules that will have significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This final rule concerns a matter of internal agency procedure and the Commission therefore certifies that it will not have such an impact. An analysis under the RFA is not required.
