ACTION:
Final rule.

End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On December 19, 2007, the Act was signed into law. Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1.59 delegates to the Assistant Secretary for Administration the authority to carry out various functions and activities related to the mission of the agency vested in or delegated to the Secretary. The Secretary has determined that certain authority vested in the Secretary under the Act concerning DOT fleet management activities should be delegated to the Assistant Secretary for Administration. This rulemaking adds subparagraph (a)(7) to § 1.59 to reflect these delegations.
Since this amendment relates to departmental management, organization, procedure, and practice, notice and comment are unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b). Further, since the amendment expedites the Department's ability to meet the statutory intent of the applicable laws and regulations covered by this delegation, the Secretary finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for the final rule to be effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register.
Regulatory Analyses and Notices
A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
The final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034). There are no costs associated with this rule.
B. Executive Order 13132
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 (“Federalism”). This final rule does not have a substantial direct effect on, or sufficient federalism implications for, the States, nor would it limit the policymaking discretion of the States. Therefore, the consultation requirements of Executive Order 13132 do not apply.
C. Executive Order 13175
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (“Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments”). Because this final rule does not significantly or uniquely affect the Start Printed Page 15222communities of the Indian tribal governments and does not impose substantial direct compliance costs, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order 13175 do not apply.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act
No notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553, so the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. This rule will impose no costs on small entities because it simply delegates authority from one official to another. Therefore, I certify this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses.
E. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule contains no information collection requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Department of Transportation has determined that the requirements of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to this rulemaking.
