This proposed amendment does not impose an information collection burden under the provision of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. This proposed action will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities as described in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. There will be no significant economic impact from the amendments include the proposed rule would not significantly add to the cost of one who conducts an activity upon or acquires TVA property. Any economic impact that would occur as a result of the rule amendment would not affect a substantial number of small entities because TVA only receives about ten land use applications from the currently exempted parties each year. Pursuant to the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. , the proposed rule does not include any Federal mandates for state, local, and tribal government or the private sector.
