SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On October 19, 2026, the Department issues a final rule amending 15 CFR part 15 by removing and/or replacing language that is redundant, that references other authorities, or that provides only unnecessary elaboration (91 FR 65964). In that final rule, amendatory instruction 5 indicated, among other things, that the Department was amending the introductory text for § 15.14(g) as well as the contents of § 15.14(g)(2). However, the final rule did not make any such amendment for either. This action corrects that inaccurate amendatory instruction and does not make any further changes to part 15.

Regulatory Classifications

A. Administrative Procedure Act

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Department finds good cause to waive the prior notice and opportunity for public participation requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act for this action. The Department considers this action to be uncontroversial, and has determined that prior notice and opportunity for public participation is unnecessary, because this action only corrects an inaccurate amendatory instruction; this correction will ensure that the amendatory instructions properly reflect the amendments made by the rule. For the same reason, the Department has determined that delaying the effectiveness of this corrective action would be contrary to the public interest; this action will correct an omission and remove a potential source of confusion without introducing any new cost for the public. The Department therefore finds good cause to waive the public notice and comment period under 553(b)(B) and to waive the 30-day delay in effectiveness under 553(d).

B. Executive Orders 12866, 14192, and 13132

This rule is not significant pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 12866. This rule is an E.O. 14192 deregulatory action. This rule does not contain policies having federalism implications as the term is defined in E.O. 13132.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public participation are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required, and none has been prepared.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule will not impose additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

Accordingly, 15 CFR part 15 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
