Environmental and Energy Considerations

    This action does not require environmental review because it does 
not have the potential for significant environmental impacts. 49 CFR 
1105.6(c)(7).

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    Because this is not a notice of proposed rulemaking within the 
meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), we 
need not make the small business impact examination required by that 
Act. Nevertheless, we welcome any comments regarding the small entities 
considerations embodied in that Act.

    Decided: March 22, 1994.

    By the Commission, Chairman McDonald, Vice Chairman Phillips, 
Commissioners Simmons and Philbin.
Sidney L. Strickland, Jr.,
Secretary.
