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

Updating address locations; removing an outdated Web site address and 
correcting a form number; changing the term ``Associate Director'' to 
``Deputy Director'' in the regulations; and other housekeeping changes, 
such as removing reference to a URL hyperlink for a Web page that no

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Rulemaking Procedure

    This rule pertains solely to administrative changes. It makes no 
changes to the substantive legal rights, obligations, or interests of 
affected parties. This rule, therefore, is a ``rule of agency 
organization, procedure or practice'' and is, therefore, exempt from 
the notice-and-comment requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(A).

II. Overview of the Direct Final Rule

    In early 2015, many of BOEM's headquarters' offices moved from 
Herndon, Virginia to Sterling, Virginia. References in the 30 CFR part 
550 regulations to the Herndon, Virginia location are updated in this 
rule to reflect the Sterling, Virginia location. This rule also updates 
other addresses in 30 CFR part 519. Also, the existing regulations 
contain references to the title ``Associate Director,'' which is a 
remnant of BOEM's predecessor agency, the Minerals Management Service. 
This rule changes ``Associate Director'' to ``Deputy Director'' in the 
current regulations. This rule also makes other housekeeping changes, 
such as removing reference to a URL hyperlink for a Web page that no 
longer exists.

III. Section-by-Section Analysis of Direct Final Rule

30 CFR Part 519 (Distribution and Disbursement of Royalties, Rentals, 
and Bonuses)

Section 519.410 What does this subpart contain?

Continental Shelf)

Section 550.126 Electronic Payment Instructions
    Section 550.126 states that all payments must be made 
electronically through Pay.gov. This section also states incorrectly 
that the Pay.gov Web site can be accessed by going to http://www.boem.gov/offshore. That Web page no longer exists and is therefore 
deleted. The Direct Final Rule retains the correct Pay.gov URL.
Section 550.199 Paperwork Reduction Act Statements--Information 
Collection
    The address for BOEM's Information Collection Officer changed as a 
result of BOEM's move from Herndon, Virginia, to Sterling, Virginia. 
The Direct Final Rule updates the address in this section to 45600 
Woodland Road, Sterling, VA 20166.
Section 550.1153 When must I conduct a static bottomhole pressure 
survey?
    The current regulations refer to Form BOEM-140, Bottomhole Pressure 
Survey Report. The form number is actually 0140. The Direct Final Rule 
updates the form number to reflect this.

Quincy Street, Arlington, Virginia 22203. The address for the Hearings 
Division is actually 351 South West Temple, Suite 6.300, Salt Lake 
City, Utah 84101. The Direct Final Rule provides the correct Salt Lake 
City, Utah address for this section.
Section 550.1456 May I request a hearing on the record regarding the 
amount of a civil penalty if I did not request a hearing on the Notice 
of Noncompliance?

of Noncompliance regarding violations without a period to correct?

solvency under part 550. The section provides contact information for 
BOEM's Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific Offices, including contact 
information for specific individuals, the office addresses, and phone 
numbers. To maintain accuracy of the contact information, the Direct 
Final Rule updates this section to provide the general contact 
information for each office, including the address and phone number. It 
does not provide contact information for a specific individual. It 
provides an updated phone number for the Alaska Office, an updated 
phone number for the Gulf of Mexico Office, and an updated street 
address and phone number for the Pacific Office.

IV. Legal and Regulatory Analyses

A. Statutes

1. Data Quality Act
    In developing this rule, we did not conduct or use a study, 
experiment, or survey requiring peer review under the Data Quality Act 
(Pub. L. 106-554, app. C sec. 515, 114 Stat. 2763, 2763A-153- 154).
2. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969
    This rule does not constitute a major Federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment. We evaluated this rule 
under the criteria of the National Environmental Policy Act, 43 CFR 
part 46 and 516 Departmental Manual 15. This rule meets the criteria 
set forth in 43 CFR 46.210(i) in that this direct final rule is ``. . . 
of an administrative, financial, legal, technical, or procedural nature 
. . .'' This rule also meets the criteria set forth in 516 Departmental 
Manual 15.4(C)(1) for a ``Categorical Exclusion'' in that its impacts 
are limited to administrative, economic or technological effects. 
Further, we have evaluated this direct final rule to determine if it 
involves any of the extraordinary circumstances that would require an 
environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement as set 
forth in 43 CFR 46.215. We concluded this rule does not meet any of the 
criteria for extraordinary circumstances as set forth therein.
3. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995
    This rule does not contain new information collection requirements, 
and a submission under the PRA is not required. Therefore, an 
information collection request is not being submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval under 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.
4. Regulatory Flexibility Act
    BOEM certifies that this rule does not have a significant economic 
effect on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The Regulatory Flexibility Act 
requires agencies to analyze regulatory options that would minimize any 
significant impact of a rule on small entities. This rulemaking affects 
large and small entities through the clarification of the existing 
regulatory requirements in BOEM regulations.
5. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
    This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804(2), the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. We anticipate no 
significant employment or small business effects. This rule:
    a. Does not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or 
more;
    b. Does not cause a major increase in costs or prices for 
consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government 
agencies; or geographic regions; and
    c. Does not have significant adverse effects on competition, 
employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of 
U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises.
6. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
    This rule does not impose an unfunded mandate on State, local, or 
tribal governments, or the private sector of more than $100 million per 
year. This rule does not have a significant or unique effect on State, 
local, or tribal governments or the private sector. This rule does not 
impose any Federal mandates on State, local, or tribal governments or 
any mandate on any part of the private sector that would involve more 
than $100 million a year. A statement containing the information 
required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) is 
not required.

B. Executive Orders

1. E.O. 12630--Takings Implication Assessment
    This rule does not affect a taking of private property or otherwise 
have taking implications under E.O. 12630. This rule is not a 
governmental action capable of interference with constitutionally 
protected property

[[Page 57095]]

rights. A takings implication assessment is not required.
2. E.O. 12866 and E.O. 13563--Regulatory Planning and Review and 
Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
    OMB has not reviewed this rulemaking under section 6(a)(3) of E.O. 
12866. BOEM does not believe this rulemaking constitutes a 
``significant regulatory action'' under E.O. 12866 based on the 
following:
    a. The requirements in this rule will not have an effect of $100 
million or more on the economy;
    b. The rule will not adversely affect in a material way the 
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public 
health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or 
communities;
    c. This rule will not create a serious inconsistency or otherwise 
interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency;
    d. This rule will not alter the budgetary effects of entitlements, 
grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights or obligations of 
their recipients; and
    e. This rule will not raise any novel legal or policy issues.
    Executive Order (E.O) 13563 reaffirms the principles of E.O. 12866 
while calling for improvements in the nation's regulatory system to 
promote predictability, to reduce uncertainty, and to use the best, 
most innovative, and least burdensome tools for achieving regulatory 
ends. E.O. 13563 directs agencies to consider regulatory approaches 
that reduce burdens and maintain flexibility and freedom of choice for 
the public where these approaches are relevant, feasible, and 
consistent with regulatory objectives. E.O. 13563 emphasizes further 
that regulations must be based on the best available science and that 
the rulemaking process must allow for public participation and an open 
exchange of ideas. We have developed this rule in a manner consistent 
with these requirements.
3. E.O. 12988--Civil Justice Reform
    This rule complies with the requirements of E.O. 12988. 
Specifically, this rule:
    (a) Meets the criteria of section 3(a) requiring that all 
regulations be reviewed to eliminate errors and ambiguity and be 
written to minimize litigation; and
    (b) Meets the criteria of section 3(b)(2) requiring that all 
regulations be written in clear language and contain clear legal 
standards.
4. E.O. 13132--Federalism
    Under the criteria in section 1 of E.O. 13132, this rule does not 
have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a 
federalism summary impact statement. This rule does not substantially 
affect the relationship between Federal and State governments. To the 
extent State and local governments have a role in OCS activities, this 
rule does not affect that role. A federalism summary impact statement 
is not required.
5. E.O. 13175--Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal 
Governments
    The Department of the Interior strives to strengthen its 
government-to-government relationship with Indian tribes through a 
commitment to consultation with Indian tribes and recognition of their 
right to self-governance and tribal sovereignty. We have evaluated this 
rule under the Department's consultation policy and under the criteria 
in E.O. 13175 and have determined that it has no substantial direct 
effects on federally recognized Indian tribes and that consultation 
under the Department's tribal consultation policy is not required.
6. E.O. 13211--Effects on the Nation's Energy Supply
    This rule is not a significant energy action under the definition 
in E.O. 13211. A Statement of Energy Effects is not required.
7. Presidential Memorandum of June 1, 1998, on Regulation Clarity
    We are required by Executive Orders 12866 (section 1 (b)(12)), 
12988 (section 3(b)(l)(B)), and 13563 (section l(a)), and by the 
Presidential Memorandum of June 1, 1998, to write all rules in plain 
language. This means that each rule we publish must:
    a. Be logically organized;
    b. Use the active voice to address readers directly;
    c. Use common, everyday words and clear language rather than 
jargon;
    d. Be divided into short sections and sentences; and
    e. Use lists and tables wherever possible.
    If you feel that we have not met these requirements, send us 
comments by one of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES section. Your 
comments should be as specific as possible. For example, you should 
tell us the numbers of the sections or paragraphs that you find 
unclear, which sections or sentences are too long, the sections where 
you feel lists or tables would be useful, etc.
