SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
administers regulations published in chapter I of title 27 Code of
Federal Regulations. These regulations are updated April 1 of each year
to incorporate new or revised regulations that were published by ATF in
the Federal Register during the preceding year. Upon reviewing title 27
for the annual revision, ATF and the CFR Unit of the Office of the
Federal Register identified several amendments and conforming changes
that are needed to provide uniformity in chapter I of title 27, Code of
Federal Regulations.
These amendments do not make any substantive changes and are only
intended to improve the clarity of title 27 or relieve regulatory
requirements.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Public Law
96-511, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, and its implementing regulations, 5 CFR
part 1320, do not apply to this final rule because there are no
recordkeeping or reporting requirements.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule,
the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
does not apply.
Executive Order 12866
It has been determined that this rule is not a significant
regulatory action because it will not, (1) Have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more or adversely affect in a material way
the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs,
the environment, public health or safety, or State, local or tribal
governments or communities; (2) Create a serious inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user
fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or (4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
Executive Order 12866.
Administrative Procedures Act
Because this final rule merely makes technical amendments and
conforming changes to improve the clarity of the regulations, it is
unnecessary to issue this final rule with notice and public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b). Similarly it is unnecessary to subject this
final rule to the effective date limitation of 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
