[[Page 53268]]
rule amending 8 CFR 3.1(a)(1) to increase the number of members on the 
Board from a total of five (a Chairman and four members) to a total of 
twelve (a Chairman and eleven members). 60 FR 29469 This final rule 
amends 28 CFR 0.116 so that it is consistent with 8 CFR 3.1(a)(1).
    Compliance with 5 U.S.C. 553 as to notice of proposed rule making 
and delayed effective date is not necessary because this rule relates 
to agency procedure and practice.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the Attorney General certifies 
that this rule does not have a significant adverse economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. The Attorney General has 
determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory action under 
Executive Order No. 12866, and accordingly this rule has not been 
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule has no 
Federalism implications warranting the preparation of a Federalism 
Assessment in accordance with Executive Order No. 12612. The rule 
merits the applicable standards provided in sections 2(a) and 2(b)(2) 
of Executive Order No. 12778.
