[Federal Register Volume 83, Number 76 (Thursday, April 19, 2018)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 17299-17300] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2018-07987] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 49 CFR Chapter X [Docket No. EP 746] Updating the Code of Federal Regulations AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board. ACTION: Final rules. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation Board (Board) is updating its regulations to replace certain obsolete or incorrect references in the regulations. DATES: This rule is effective May 19, 2018. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarah Fancher: (202) 245-0355. Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) for the hearing impaired: (800) 877- 8339. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this decision, the Board is revising, correcting, and updating its regulations in 49 CFR ch. X. This decision makes the following changes to the Board's regulations:Eliminates or changes obsolete agency and/or office titles (e.g., 49 CFR 1011.6, 1105.7(b)(9), 1200.2); corrects obsolete contact information (e.g., 49 CFR 1244.4(c)(1)); corrects references to United States Code or Code of Federal Regulations sections that have been moved or are otherwise incorrect (e.g., 49 CFR 1244.4, 1244.9(b)); provides that appeals under 49 CFR 1244.9 must be filed with the Board (49 CFR 1244.9(d)(4)(iii)); and eliminates other obsolete or unnecessary material (i.e., 49 CFR 1105.7(b), 1244.9(d)(2)). Because these revisions are not substantive and/or relate to rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice, the Board finds good cause that notice and comment under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) are unnecessary. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A) & (B). The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements, unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Because the Board has determined that notice and comment are not required under the APA for this rulemaking, the requirements of the RFA do not apply. These final rules do not contain a new or amended information collection requirement subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521.
