7 CFR Parts 300, 301, 318, 319, 330, 340, and 355
[Docket No. APHIS-2018-0070]
Subpart Nomenclature Change
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule contains formatting changes to subpart references to
bring the headings into conformance with the Office of Federal Register
requirements. In addition, we are updating authority citations and
making minor editorial changes to the regulations.
DATES: Effective February 7, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about this final rule,
please contact Ms. Charisse Cleare, Regulatory Analysis and
Development, PPD, APHIS, 4700 River Road, Unit 118, Riverdale, MD
20737; (301) 851-2037.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document makes nomenclature changes to
subpart headings in 7 CFR parts 300, 301, 318, 319, 330, 340, and 355
to bring the headings into conformance with the Office of the Federal
Register (OFR) requirements. These changes will ensure that all
subheadings in the listed parts of title 7 are consistent with OFR
nomenclature and formatting conventions. We are also making related
changes within the regulations where subparts are referenced.
Miscellaneous
In addition to the changes set forth above, we are updating the
authority citations for parts 319 and 330 to reflect a U.S. Code
citation that has been redesignated. In the authority citations for
parts 319 and 330, 7 U.S.C. 450 will be changed to 7 U.S.C. 1633.
Lastly, we are redesignating footnote 4 as footnote 3 in Sec.
319.75-7. In an interim rule published in the Federal Register on
December 29, 2014, (79 FR 77839-77841), we removed footnote 3 from
Sec. 319.75-2. When we removed footnote 3, we should have redesignated
footnote 4 as footnote 3. In this document, we are making that change.
Effective Date
This rule relates to internal agency management and makes various
nonsubstantive changes to the regulations in title 7, Code of Federal
Regulations to reflect minor edits, updates to authority citations, and
formatting changes to bring language into conformance with the Office
of Federal Register requirements. Because the changes contained in this
rule are nonsubstantive in nature, notice and other public procedure on
this rule are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest.
Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, notice of proposed rulemaking and
opportunity to comment are not required, and this rule may be made
effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
Further, since this rule relates to internal agency management, it is
exempt from the provisions of Executive Orders 12866, 12988, and 13771.
Finally, this action is not a rule as defined by the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 501) and, thus, is exempt from the provisions
of that Act.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule contains no new reporting, recordkeeping, or third
party disclosure requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
