SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This final rule makes technical amendments to certain headings in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The CFR is divided into titles, subtitles, chapters, subchapters, parts, subparts, sections, and subsections. Currently, some of the regulations administered by AMS in 7 CFR chapter I contain headings or footnotes that do not comply with Office of the Federal Register (OFR) requirements, which require the use of descriptive terms in regulatory headings and require that subparts be properly designated. The technical amendments in this final rule will ensure that the headings in 7 CFR chapter I are consistent with OFR nomenclature and formatting used throughout the CFR. This rule addresses many of the necessary changes in 7 CFR chapter I; the remainder are being addressed in concurrent actions by the individual AMS programs that administer the particular regulations.

This rule falls within a category of regulatory actions that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) exempted from Executive Order 12866 review. Additionally, because this rule does not meet the definition of a significant regulatory action, it does not trigger the requirements contained in Executive Order 13771. See OMB's Memorandum titled “Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the Executive Order of January 30, 2017, titled `Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs' ” (February 2, 2017).

The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(B)(3)(b)) provides that when an agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, an agency my issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. AMS has determined that there is good cause for making this technical amendment final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because the revisions are not substantive and will have no impact on the regulatory requirements in the affected parts. AMS has determined that public comment on such administrative changes is unnecessary and that there is good cause under the APA for proceeding with a final rule.

Further, because a notice of proposed rulemaking an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule under the APA or any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Accordingly, this rule is issued in final form. Although there is no formal comment period, public comments on this rule are welcome on an ongoing basis. Comments should be submitted to the address or email under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT .
