7 CFR Chapter I
[Doc. No. AMS-LRRS-19-0099]
Nomenclature Changes; Technical Amendment
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document makes nomenclature changes to the headings for a
subchapter and various parts, subparts, and sections of the Code of
Federal Regulations administered by the Agricultural Marketing Service
(AMS). This action is necessary to conform with Office of the Federal
Register requirements for regulatory language.
DATES: This rule is effective March 11, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurel L. May, Regulatory Analyst,
Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA, 1400 Independence Ave. SW, Stop
0231, Washington, DC 20250-0231; phone: (202) 690-1366, fax: (202) 690-
0552, or email: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule makes technical amendments
to certain headings in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The CFR
is divided into titles, subtitles, chapters, subchapters, parts,
subparts, sections, and subsections. Currently, some of the regulations
administered by AMS in 7 CFR chapter I contain headings or footnotes
that do not comply with Office of the Federal Register (OFR)
requirements, which require the use of descriptive terms in regulatory
headings and require that subparts be properly designated. The
technical amendments in this final rule will ensure that the headings
in 7 CFR chapter I are consistent with OFR nomenclature and formatting
used throughout the CFR. This rule addresses many of the necessary
changes in 7 CFR chapter I; the remainder are being addressed in
concurrent actions by the individual AMS programs that administer the
particular regulations.
This rule falls within a category of regulatory actions that the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) exempted from Executive Order
12866 review. Additionally, because this rule does not meet the
definition of a significant regulatory action, it does not trigger the
requirements contained in Executive Order 13771. See OMB's Memorandum
titled ``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the Executive Order
of January 30, 2017, titled `Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs' '' (February 2, 2017).
The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(B)(3)(b))
provides that when an agency for good cause finds that notice and
public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest, an agency my issue a rule without providing notice and
an opportunity for public comment. AMS has determined that there is
good cause for making this technical amendment final without prior
proposal and opportunity for comment because the revisions are not
substantive and will have no impact on the regulatory requirements in
the affected parts. AMS has determined that public comment on such
administrative changes is unnecessary and that there is good cause
under the APA for proceeding with a final rule.
Further, because a notice of proposed rulemaking an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule under the APA
or any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Accordingly,
this rule is issued in final form. Although there is no formal comment
period, public comments on this rule are welcome on an ongoing basis.
Comments should be submitted to the address or email under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
