[Docket No.: 070613195-7196-01]
RIN 0605-AA25


Disclosure of Government Information; Change to Designated 
Official

AGENCY: Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Department of Commerce's (Department) 
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulations by changing the official 
authorized to deny requests for records under the Freedom of 
Information Act, and requests for correction or amendment under the 
Privacy Act (PA), for the Bureau of the Census.

DATES: Effective July 5, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christa D. Jones, Chief of the Policy 
Office, Bureau of the Census, 301-763-7310.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Appendix B to 15 CFR Part 4 designates the

requests for records and requests for correction or amendment under the 
PA. In order to change the designated official for the Bureau of the 
Census, we are amending the regulations.

Classification

    It has been determined that this notice is not significant for 
purposes of E.O. 12866. It has been determined that this notice does 
not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is 
defined in E.O. 13132.
    Prior notice and an opportunity for public comment are not required 
by the Administrative Procedure Act for rules concerning agency 
organization, procedure, or practice (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A)). The 
Department finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in effectiveness 
because it is unnecessary. This rule merely changes the name of the 
official who is authorized to deny

[[Page 36595]]

requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act, and requests 
for correction or amendment under the Privacy Act. 5 U.S.C.(d)(3).
    Because notice and opportunity for comment are not required 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are 
inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not 
required and has not been prepared.
