43 CFR Part 1820

[WO-850-1820-XZ-24-1A]
RIN 1004-AD34


Application Procedures

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the regulation showing the location of 
the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) State Offices in order to show the 
new address of the BLM Oregon State Office, which moved in January 
2002. Personal, messenger, and express mail delivery of filings and 
other documents must be to the new office address. You must continue to 
direct filings and other delivery by U.S. mail to the same post office 
box address which has not been changed.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 6, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael H. Schwartz, (202) 452-5198. 
Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call 
the Federal Information Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339, 24 hours a 
day, 7 days a week.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule reflects the administrative 
action of changing the address of the Oregon State Office of BLM. It 
changes the street address for the location of the BLM Oregon State 
Office, but makes no other changes in filing requirements. 
Specifically, the rule does not change the mailing address of the 
Oregon State Office, but only the street address.
    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 are unnecessary and that this rule may 
take effect upon publication.
    Because this final rule is a purely administrative regulatory 
action having no effects upon the public or the environment, we have 
determined that the rule is categorically excluded from review under 
Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 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 are affected by this rule 
which only reports address changes for BLM State Office. The Department 
therefore certifies that this rule does not represent a governmental 
action capable of interference with constitutionally protected property 
rights.
    The rule will not have a substantial direct effect on the states, 
on the relationship between the National Government and the states, or 
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various 
levels of government. The rule reflects the administrative action of 
changing the address of the Oregon State Office of BLM. Therefore, in 
accordance with Executive Order 13132, BLM has determined that this 
rule would not have sufficient Federalism implications to warrant 
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
    Under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, the Office of 
the Solicitor has determined that this rule would not unduly burden the 
judicial system and that it meets the requirements of the sections 3(a) 
and 3(b)(2) of the Order.
    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.
    This rule does not contain information collection requirements that 
require approval by the Office of

[[Page 30329]]

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.
    In accordance with Executive Order 13175, Consultation and 
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, we have found this final 
rule does not included policies that have tribal implications. This 
administrative final rule reflects the administrative action of 
changing the address of Oregon State Office of BLM. It changes the 
street address for the location of the BLM Oregon State Office, but 
make no other changes in filing requirements.
    Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. The BLM has 
determined that this rule will not have substantial direct effects on 
the energy supply, distribution or use, including a shortfall in supply 
or price increase. This rule simply changes an address for the Oregon 
State Office of BLM.
