[WO-340-1220-00-24 1A]
RIN: 1004-AC52


Visual Resource--Management (Reserved)

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This administrative final rule removes 43 CFR Group 8400 in 
its entirety regarding visual resource management (reserved). 43 CFR 
Group 8400 consists solely of the heading, Visual Resource--Management 
(Reserved), with no regulatory substance or guidance.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 9, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edna Taylor, 202-452-5068.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The specific regulatory guidelines anticipated by the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) do not exist. The BLM does not intend to use this 
Group for regulatory guidance on management of visual resources. 
Therefore, Group 8400 is obsolete and without purpose. The BLM has 
determined that this rule does not require a notice and an opportunity 
for public comment pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (5 
U.S.C. 553(b)(A)).
    This rule is an administrative action and is not subject to the 
Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866. 
Therefore, the rule does not require an environmental impact analysis. 
The rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 
601 et seq.). The rule does not contain information collection 
requirements that need approval by the

[[Page 15723]]
Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
    The principal author of this final rule is Edna Taylor, Regulatory 
Management Team, BLM.
    Accordingly, under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301 Group 8400 is 
removed.

    Dated: March 29, 1996.
Bob Armstrong,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
