DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
25 CFR Part 165
RIN 1076-AC75
Sale of Forest Products, Red Lake Indian Reservation, Minnesota
AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is deleting regulations
which govern the terms and conditions under which forest products
produced by the Red Lake Indian Mills may be sold. The BIA is deleting
these regulations because the Red Lake Indian Mills no longer exists
and the revision of 25 CFR Part 163, ``General Forest Regulations,''
prescribes the terms and conditions for the sale of forest products
produced by other Indian forest product enterprises on the Red Lake
Indian Reservation. Therefore, this deletion is necessary to eliminate
redundancy and potential confusion in forestry program regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 2, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jim Stires, Billings Area Office,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Branch of Forestry, telephone (406) 657-6358.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action, deleting 25 CFR part 165,
results from the BIA's need to eliminate the redundancy and potential
confusion arising from having an unnecessary regulation for a business
entity that no longer exists. In addition, the BIA recognizes that
provisions in Sec. 163.13 of the revision of 25 CFR part 163, ``General
Forest Regulations,'' are adequate to govern the sale of Indian forest
products by Indian forest enterprises on the Red Lake Indian
Reservation and, as a result, that 25 CFR part 165 is no longer needed.
No comments were received during the 60 day comment period
following the publication of the proposed rule in the Federal Register.
The Department of the Interior has determined that this rule is not
a significant regulation action under Executive Order 12866, and
therefore
[[Page 51724]]
will not be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.) because the entity that was regulated no
longer exists.
The Department of the Interior has determined that this final rule
does not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment and that no detailed statement is
required pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
The Department has certified to the Office of Management and Budget
that these regulations meet the applicable standards provided in
Sections 2(a) and 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778. In accordance with
Executive Order 12630, the Department has determined that this rule
does not have significant takings implications.
The Department has determined that this rule does not have
significant federalism effects.
The deletion of 25 CFR part 165, ``Sale of Forest Products, Red
Lake Indian Reservation, Minnesota,'' will not create information
collection or record keeping requirements which require approval by the
Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
