SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
II. Procedural Matters

I. Background

    This final rule reflects the administrative action of changing the 
street addresses of the Colorado State Office, including the Public 
Room, of the BLM. This rule changes the postal and street address for 
the personal filing of documents relating to public lands in Colorado 
but makes no other changes in filing requirements. The BLM has 
determined that the rule has no substantive impact on the public, 
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 that under 
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), notice and public comment procedures are 
unnecessary.

II. Procedural Matters

Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Order 12866)

    This final rule is an administrative action to change the address 
for one BLM State Office. This rule was not subject to review by the 
Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866. The rule 
imposes no costs, and merely updates a list of addresses included in 
the Code of Federal Regulations for the convenience of the public.

National Environmental Policy Act

    The BLM has found that the final rule is of a procedural nature and 
thus is categorically excluded from further documentation under the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 in accordance with 43 CFR 
46.210(i). In addition, the final rule does not present any of the 12 
extraordinary circumstances listed at 43 CFR 46.215.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Congress enacted the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 
601, et seq.) to ensure that Government regulations do not 
unnecessarily or disproportionately burden small entities. This final 
rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having no effects 
upon the public or the environment, and it has been determined that the 
rule will not have a significant effect on the economy or small 
entities.

Congressional Review Act

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having 
no effects upon the public or the economy. This is not a major rule 
under the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 804(2)). The rule will not 
have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more. The rule 
will not cause a major increase in costs of prices for consumers, 
individual industries, Federal, State, or local government agencies, or 
geographic regions. The rule will not have significant adverse effects 
on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or 
the ability of United States-based enterprises to complete with 
foreign-based enterprises.

Unfunded Mandate Reform Act

    The BLM has determined that this final rule is not significant 
under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 because the rule 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, the administrative final rule will not 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. It does not require 
action by any non-Federal government entity. Therefore, the information 
required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.), 
is not required.

Executive Order 12630, Government Action and Interference With 
Constitutionally Protected Property Rights (Takings)

    As required by Executive Order 12630, the Department of the 
Interior has determined that the rule will not cause a taking of 
private property. No private property rights will be affected by a rule 
that merely reports an address change for the Colorado State Office and 
its Public Room. The Department therefore certifies that this final 
rule does not represent a governmental action capable of interference 
with constitutionally protected property rights.

Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    In accordance with Executive Order 13132, the BLM finds that the 
rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the 
preparation of a federalism summary impact statement.
    The final rule does not have substantial direct effects on the 
States, on the relationship between the national governments and the 
States, or the distribution of power and the responsibilities among the 
various levels of government. This administrative final rule does not 
preempt State law.

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform

    This final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having 
no effects upon the public and will not unduly burden the judicial 
system. This final rule meets the requirements of Sections 3(a) and 
3(b)(2) of the Executive Order.

Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal 
Governments

    In accordance with the Executive Order 13175, the BLM finds that 
the rule does not include policies that have Tribal implications. This 
final rule is purely an administrative action having no effects upon 
the public or the environment, imposing no costs, and merely updates 
the Colorado State Office and its Public Room addresses included in the 
Code of Federal Regulations.

Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    In accordance with Executive Order 13211, the BLM has determined 
that the final rule will not have substantial direct effects on the 
energy supply, distribution, or use, including a shortfall

[[Page 34782]]

in supply or price increase. This final rule is a purely administrative 
action and has no implications under Executive Order 13211.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the rule does 
not contain any information collection requirements that require the 
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, 
et seq.
