AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Transportation Statistics under delegated

authority 49 CFR 1.71(a) amends the Secretary's regulations in order to

reflect recent Departmental organizational changes, correct outdated

organizational and statutory references, and eliminate obsolete

provisions. It also makes editorial changes to correct addresses and

make other technical corrections. This rule makes no substantive

changes to current regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on December 26, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bernie Stankus; Regulations Division,

Office of Airline Information, K-25, U.S. Department of Transportation,

400 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20590, (202) 366-4387.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

Responsibility for the Department's aviation information program

was transferred from the Administrator of the Research and Special

Programs Administration (RSPA) to the Director of the Bureau of

Transportation Statistics (BTS) in May 1995. Before RSPA, the function

resided in the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) until the sunset of the

latter. The office that has this responsibility is the Office of

Airline Information (OAI). Before the transfer, this office was known

as the Office of Airline Statistics (OAS) and, prior to a 1990

reorganization of RSPA, the Office of Aviation Information Management

(OAIM). This rule reflects the transfer by revising those portions of

the CFR that still refer to RSPA, CAB, OAS, and OAIM with respect to

the aviation information program.

The rule also makes editorial changes throughout the 14 CFR chapter

II to eliminate obsolete provisions, and to correct addresses,

terminology, cross-references, and outdated titles of Department

organizations and officials. These changes are necessitated in part by

the revision and recodification of the Federal Aviation Act within

subtitle VII of title 49 of the United States Code (Transportation) by

action of Pubic Law 103-272, enacted July 5, 1994. 14 CFR 399.100 is

being removed since it is redundant to 14 CFR part 241 section 19-7(d);

the policy regarding release of international passenger origin and

destination statistics remains unchanged.

Notice and Opportunity for Public Comment Unnecessary

Since this amendment relates to departmental management,

organization, procedure, and practice, notice and comment are

unnecessary. The amendments made in this document are ministerial,

removing obsolete and redundant material and making minor technical and

terminology changes. 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 final rule is

effective upon publication in the Federal Register.

Regulatory Evaluation

This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)

of Executive Order 12866. It has not been reviewed by the Office of

Management and Budget under that order. It is not significant under the

regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Transportation

(DOT) (44 FR 11040, February 26, 1979). As this rule involves internal

agency practices and procedures, it will not impose any costs on the

public.

Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule contains no reporting or recordkeeping requirements.

Federalism

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics has analyzed this rule

under the principles and criteria in Executive Order 12612 and has

determined that this rule does not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

National Environmental Protection Act

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics has also analyzed the

proposed amendments for the purpose of the National Environmental

Protection Act. The amendments will not have any impact on the quality

of the human environment.
