AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document amends the relevant regulations which contain

delegations of authority to the Assistant Secretary for Policy and

International Affairs. The title of the delegatee has been changed

either to the Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy or to the

Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs, as

appropriate, because a new Assistant Secretary position has been

created. This rule is necessary to clarify which current delegations

apply to the new Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy and

which apply to the new Assistant Secretary for Aviation and

International Affairs.

This document also amends the relevant regulations which contain

delegations of authority to the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs.

The title of the delegatee has been changed to the Assistant to the

Secretary and Director of Public Affairs to reflect the new title of

the head of that Office. Finally, this document also amends the

relevant regulations which contain all remaining delegations of

authority that should have been transferred in an earlier

reorganization from the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs to the

Office of the General Counsel. These latter authorities are hereby

delegated to the Assistant General Counsel for Environmental, Civil

Rights, and General Law.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule becomes effective March 3, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John T. Peak, Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Transportation Policy at (202) 366-5416, or Steven B.

Farbman, Office of the Assistant General Counsel for Regulation and

Enforcement at (202) 366-9306, Department of Transportation, 400 7th

Street SW., Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 27, 1993, the Secretary of

Transportation approved a reorganization of the Office of the Secretary

by creating a new position of Assistant Secretary for Transportation

Policy and a new position of Assistant Secretary for Aviation and

International Affairs. The title of the Assistant Secretary for Public

Affairs was also changed by this reorganization to the Assistant to the

Secretary and Director of Public Affairs. Thus, it is necessary to

amend the relevant parts of the CFR in order to: (1) Clarify which

current CFR delegations apply to the new Assistant Secretary for

Transportation Policy and which apply to the new Assistant Secretary

for Aviation and International Affairs; (2) reflect the new title of

the head of the Office of Public Affairs; and (3) bring certain other

provisions of 49 CFR part 7 into conformity with 49 CFR 1.57b, now

entitled, Delegations to the Assistant General Counsel for

Environmental, Civil Rights, and General Law. Until now, all of these

CFR parts have referred either to the Assistant Secretary for Policy

and International Affairs, or to the Assistant Secretary for Public

Affairs. A summary of the CFR parts affected follows.

One CFR part (44 CFR part 403), which places restrictions on

transportation movements and the transportation of goods to North Korea

or the Communist-controlled area of Vietnam, is jointly administered by

the Department of Transportation and the Department of Commerce. This

part will be the subject of joint agency rulemaking at a later date.

14 CFR parts 300, 302, 303, 325 and 385 are procedural and

organizational regulations concerning aviation economic proceedings.

All references to the Assistant Secretary for Policy and International

Affairs are being changed to the Assistant Secretary for Aviation and

International Affairs, and a minor editorial change is being made to

Sec. 302.22a(b)(1).

49 CFR part 1 describes the organization of the Department of

Transportation and provides for the performance of duties imposed upon,

and the exercise of powers vested in, the Secretary of Transportation

by law. Delegations to the Assistant Secretary for Policy and

International Affairs are being transferred to the Assistant Secretary

for Transportation Policy and to the Assistant Secretary for Aviation

and International Affairs, as appropriate. Delegations to the Assistant

Secretary for Public Affairs are being transferred to the Assistant to

the Secretary and Director of Public Affairs. Further, Secs. 1.22 and

1.23 are being revised not only to reflect the structure and

responsibilities of the Office of the Secretary as a result of these

delegations, but also to reflect the structure and responsibilities of

the Office as a result of earlier reorganizations. Finally, minor

editorial changes are being made to Secs. 1.43(c) and 1.65(c).

49 CFR part 7 implements the Freedom of Information Act, and

prescribes rules governing the availability to the public of records of

the Department of Transportation. Consistent with the delegation of

authority to the Assistant General Counsel for Environmental, Civil

Rights, and General Law in 49 CFR 1.57b, references to the Assistant

Secretary for Public Affairs in part 7 are being changed to the

Assistant General Counsel for Environmental, Civil Rights, and General

Law. A minor editorial change is also being made to Sec. 7.53(c).

49 CFR part 8 sets forth procedures for the classification and

declassification of national security information and material.

Authority to classify information is being transferred from the

Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs to both the

Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy and the Assistant

Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs, and a minor editorial

change is being made to Sec. 8.11(b)(1).

Finally, 49 CFR part 28 carries out provisions of existing law that

prohibit discrimination on the basis of handicap in programs or

activities conducted by Executive agencies, including this Department.

Certain compliance procedures for which the Assistant Secretary for

Policy and International Affairs was responsible will now be the

responsibility of the Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy.

Since this rule relates to departmental management, organization,

procedure, and practice, notice and public comment are unnecessary. For

the same reason, good cause exists for not publishing this rule at

least 30 days before its effective date, as is ordinarily required by 5

U.S.C. 553(d). Therefore, this rule is effective on the date of its

publication.

In consideration of the foregoing, and under the authority of 49

U.S.C. 322, parts 300, 302, 303, 325 and 385 of title 14 and parts 1,
