Midway Islands Code

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

SUMMARY: This amendment removes and reserves part 762 regulations on

transferred to the Department of Interior (DOI) on October 31, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 31, 1996, the President of the 
United States signed EO 13022 transferring to the DOI responsibility 
for jurisdiction and control, to include civil administration, of the 
Midway Islands, Hawaiian group and their territorial waters. Subsequent 
to this transfer, the Secretary of the Interior issued regulations 
providing, in part, for the civil administration of Midway Islands. 
These regulations are found at 50 CFR 38, Midway Atoll National 
Wildlife Refuge. This rule is being published by the Department of the 
Navy for guidance and interest of the public in accordance with 5 
U.S.C. 552(a)(1). It has been determined that invitation of public 
comment on this amendment would be impracticable and unnecessary, and 
it is therefore not required under the public rulemaking provisions of 
32 CFR Part 336 or Secretary of the Navy Instruction 5720.45. It has 
been determined that this final rule is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' as defined in Executive Order 12866.

Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    It has been determined that this rule does not have sufficient 
Federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism 
Assessment. The provisions contained in this rule will have little or 
no direct effect on States or local governments.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities for purposes of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. Chapter 6).

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose collection of information requirements 
for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 5 
CFR Part 1320).

List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 762

PART 762--[REMOVED AND RESERVED]

    Under the authority of E.O. 13022, and as discussed in the 
preamble, remove and reserve part 762, consisting of Secs. 762.1 
through 762.130.
