43 CFR Part 1820

[WO-420-4191-02-24 1A]
RIN 1004-AC41


Application Procedures, Execution and Filing of Forms: Correction 
of State Office Addresses for Filings and Recordings, Proper Offices 
for Recording of Mining Claims

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This administrative final rule amends the regulations 
pertaining to execution and filing of forms in order to reflect the new 
address of the California State Office of the Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM), which moved in June 1996. All filings and other documents 
relating to public lands in California must be filed at the new address 
of the State Office.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 19, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ted Hudson, (202) 452-5042.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This administrative final rule reflects the 
administrative action of changing the address of the California State 
Office of BLM. It changes the address for the filing of documents 
relating to public lands in California, but makes no other changes in 
filing requirements. Therefore, this amendment is published as a final 
rule with the effective date shown above.
    Because this final rule is an administrative action to change the 
address for one BLM State Office, BLM has determined that it has no 
substantive impact on the public. It imposes no costs, and merely 
updates a list of addresses included in the Code of Federal Regulations 
for the convenience of the public. The Department of the Interior, 
therefore, for good cause finds under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3) 
that notice and public procedure thereon are unnecessary and that this 
rule may take effect upon publication.

[[Page 37687]]

    Because this final rule is a purely administrative regulatory 
action having no effects upon the public or the environment, it has 
been determined that the rule is categorically excluded from review 
under Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 
U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)).
    This rule was not subject to review by the Office of Management and 
Budget under Executive Order 12866.
    As required by Executive Order 12630, the Department of the 
Interior has determined that the rule would not cause a taking of 
private property. No private property rights would be affected by a 
rule that merely reports address changes for BLM State Offices. The 
Department therefore certifies that this proposed rule does not 
represent a governmental action capable of interference with 
constitutionally protected property rights.
    Further, the Department has determined under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.) that it will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
Reporting address changes for BLM State Offices will not have any 
economic impact whatsoever.
    This rule does not contain information collection requirements that 
require approval by the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.
    BLM has determined that this rule is not significant under the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, because it will not result in the 
expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, 
or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year. 
Further, this rule will not significantly or uniquely affect small 
governments.
