RIN 1006-AA29

 

Rules and Regulations for Emergency Drought Act Policies, 
Procedures, and Authorizations

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule, rescission.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 43 CFR part 423 prescribes the policies, procedures, and 
authority of the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) to mitigate losses 
and damages resulting from the drought conditions in 17 Western States 
during 1987, 1988, and 1989. This regulation was implemented upon 
passage of the Disaster Assistant Act of 1988, Public Law 100-387, 102 
Stat. 924, August 11, 1988. There is no need for continuation of this 
rule because it terminated December 31, 1989, and so it is being 
removed from the Code of Federal Regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 19, 1994.

Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Division of Supply and Services (D-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Interior (Department) 
has determined this document is not a significant rule under Executive 
Order 12866, and therefore does not require review by the Office of 
Management and Budget.
    In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et 
seq.), the Bureau of Reclamation certifies that this rule will not have 
a significant economic effect on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    This final rule to rescind 43 CFR part 423 is determined not to 
have Federalism effects under Executive Order 12612 as it has no direct 
casual effect on the relative roles of Federal and State Government.
    This rule contains collections of information as defined in the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This requirement has 
been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The OMB 
approval number is 1006-0010; OMB expiration date December 31, 1989.
    The Department has determined that this document does not 
constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment under the National Environmental Policy Act of 
1969.
    The policy of the Department is, whenever practicable, to afford 
the public an opportunity to participate in the rulemaking process. A 
proposed rule was published in the Federal Register, 58 FR 65694, Dec. 
16, 1993. Accordingly, interested persons were asked to submit written 
comments, suggestions or objections regarding its content. No comments 
were received during the 60-day comment period.
    The Department has certified to the OMB that this final rule meets 
the applicable standards provided in sections 2(a) and 2(b) of 
Executive Order 12778.
