    ACTION: Final rule.

    SUMMARY: This document transfers and redesignates certain motor carrier 
    transportation regulations currently found in 49 CFR Chapter X, to the 
    FHWA in 49 CFR Chapter III. The Interstate Commerce Commission 
    Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA), which was enacted on December 29, 
    1995, and took effect on January 1, 1996, abolished the Interstate 
    Commerce Commission (ICC) and transferred certain functions and 
    proceedings to the STB and the DOT. The Secretary of Transportation 
    delegated certain motor carrier provisions, which were transferred to 
    the DOT from the ICC, to the FHWA and this rule implements that change.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: October 21, 1996.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For FHWA: Mr. John F. Grimm, Director, 
    Office of Motor Carrier Information Analysis, (202) 366-4039, or Mr. 
    Michael Falk, Motor Carrier Law Division, Office of the Chief Counsel, 
    (202) 366-0834, at 400 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20590. For 
    STB: Ms. Beryl Gordon, Deputy Director, Office of Proceedings, (202) 
    927-5660. [TDD for the hearing impaired: (202) 927-5721.]
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document transfers and redesignates 
    certain motor carrier transportation regulations currently found in 49 
    CFR Chapter X, to the FHWA in 49 CFR Chapter III. The ICCTA, Public Law 
    104-88, 109 Stat. 803, which was enacted on December 29, 1995, and took 
    effect on January 1, 1996, abolished the ICC and transferred certain 
    functions and proceedings to the STB and the DOT. Certain motor carrier 
    functions previously under the jurisdiction of the ICC were transferred 
    to the Secretary of Transportation, who subsequently delegated those 
    functions to the FHWA. Implementing regulations for those motor carrier 
    functions now delegated to the FHWA, which were previously the 
    responsibility of the ICC, are still located in 49 CFR Chapter X. On 
    January 24, 1996, the STB changed the name of the agency in the heading 
    of chapter X of subtitle B of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, 
    from the ICC to the STB. 61 FR 1842. As a result, although all 
    regulations in chapter X previously issued by the ICC remain in effect 
    until modified or terminated, in order for the FHWA to administer, 
    execute, or modify those former ICC motor carrier transportation 
    regulations delegated to it by the Secretary pursuant to the ICCTA, 
    those regulations must be transferred to and redesignated in 49 CFR 
    Chapter III, which includes regulations under the authority of the 
    FHWA.
        For the most part, the transfer and redesignation procedure will 
    simply entail moving the pertinent motor carrier transportation 
    regulations from chapter X to Parts 365 through 379, 387, and 390 of 49 
    CFR, within chapter III. Although no substantive changes will be made 
    to the regulations, the order of those regulations will be slightly 
    modified.
        In addition to the transfer of functions from the ICC to the DOT, 
    and subsequently to the FHWA, the ICCTA also transferred certain 
    residual functions of the ICC partly to the Secretary, who has 
    delegated them to the FHWA, and partly to the STB. Thus, certain parts 
    of chapter X embrace matters which fall within the jurisdiction of both 
    the FHWA and the STB. For example, the loss and damage claims 
    regulations in part 1005 pertain to rail carriers as well as motor 
    carriers. Parts 1004, 1220 and 1325 also involve dual jurisdiction. The 
    transfer of regulations involving dual jurisdiction will be published 
    in the Federal Register in a separate action in the near future.
    
    Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
    
        Because the amendments made by this document relate to departmental 
    management, organization, procedure, and practice, prior notice and 
    opportunity for comment are unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A). In 
    addition, prior notice and opportunity for comment are unnecessary 
    pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) because the process of transferring 
    and redesignating the sections is merely technical in nature and 
    proposes no substantive changes to which public comment could be 
    solicited. Going straight to a final rule is also in the public 
    interest because the sections now under the FHWA's jurisdiction may be 
    modified or removed to correspond with the FHWA's new functions.
        This final rule is made effective upon publication in the Federal 
    Register. The FHWA believes that good cause exists for this final rule 
    to be exempt from the 30-day delayed effective date requirement of 5 
    U.S.C. 553(d) for the above reason and because the process of 
    transferring and redesignating the motor carrier transportation 
    regulations makes no substantive changes to the regulations. In fact, 
    the sooner the regulations are moved to chapter III, the more quickly 
    the FHWA can begin the process of updating those regulations and making 
    necessary changes to them.
    
    Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) and DOT 
    Regulatory Policies and Procedures
    
        The FHWA has determined that this action is not a significant 
    regulatory action within the meaning of Executive Order 12866 or 
    significant within the meaning of Department of Transportation 
    regulatory policies and procedures. It is anticipated that the economic 
    impact of this rulemaking will be minimal; therefore, a full regulatory 
    evaluation is not required. This final rule simply provides notice to 
    the public that the motor carrier transportation regulations currently 
    found in 49 CFR Chapter X are transferred to 49 CFR Chapter III and 
    redesignated there. The FHWA is not altering the existing regulations 
    in any way; no substantive changes are being made to them. The 
    regulations are simply receiving new citations within the Code of 
    Federal Regulations so that the FHWA may administer and execute those 
    motor carrier functions transferred to it from the ICC by the ICCTA.
    
    Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        In compliance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354, 
    5 U.S.C. 601-612), the FHWA has evaluated the effects of this rule on 
    small entities. Based on the evaluation, the FHWA hereby certifies that 
    this action will not have a significant economic impact on a 
    substantial number of small entities. As noted above, this final rule 
    simply provides notice to the public that the motor carrier 
    transportation regulations currently found in 49 CFR Chapter X are 
    transferred to 49 CFR Chapter III, and redesignated there. No 
    substantive changes are being made to the regulations which will affect 
    small entities.

    Executive Order 12612 (Federalism Assessment)
    
        This action has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and 
    criteria contained in Executive Order 12612, and it has been determined

    Executive Order 12372 (Intergovernmental Review)
    
        Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Program Number 20.217, Motor 
    Carrier Safety. The regulations implementing Executive Order 12372 
    regarding intergovernmental consultation on Federal programs and 
    activities do not apply to this program.
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        This action does not contain a collection of information 
    requirement for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 
    U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
    
    National Environmental Policy Act
    
        The agency has analyzed this action for the purpose of the National 
    Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and has 
    determined that this action would not have any effect on the quality of 
    the environment.
    
    Regulation Identification Number
    
        A regulation identification number (RIN) is assigned to each 
    regulatory action listed in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations. 
    The Regulatory Information Service Center publishes the Unified Agenda 
    in April and October of each year. The RIN number contained in the 
    heading of this document can be used to cross reference this action 
    with the Unified Agenda.
