DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
43 CFR Part 406
RIN 1006-AA27
Rules and Regulations for the Exchange or Amendment of Farm Units
on Federal Reclamation Projects
AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior.
ACTION: Final rule; rescission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 43 CFR Part 406 was written in the 1950's to help carry out
the Farm Unit Exchange Act (Act of August 13, 1953, 67 Stat. 556) that
provides for the exchange of certain unpatented farm units or private
land on a Federal irrigation project, for certain classes of qualified
applicants whose lands have been determined, pursuant to a land
classification, to be insufficient to support a family, and the
amendment of farm units by the addition of contiguous or noncontiguous
land on the same project. All farm units that were eligible for
exchange have been exchanged, and since the program is no longer
active, this regulation is no longer applicable to Reclamation
programs, and so it is being removed from the Code of Federal
Regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 19, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marilyn Rehfeld, Department of
Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Division of Supply and Services (D-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Interior (Department)
has determined this document is not a significant rule under Executive
Order 12866, and therefore does not require review by the Office of
Management and Budget.
In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), the Bureau of Reclamation certifies that this rule will not have
a significant economic effect on a substantial number of small
entities.
This final rule to rescind 43 CFR part 406 is determined not to
have Federalism effects under Executive Order 12612 as it has no direct
casual effect on the relative roles of Federal and State Government.
This rule does not contain collections of information that require
approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.
The Department has determined that this document does not
constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment under the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969.
The policy of the Department is, whenever practicable, to afford
the public an opportunity to participate in the rulemaking process. A
proposed rule was published in the Federal Register, 58 FR 65693, Dec.
16, 1993. Accordingly, interested persons were asked to submit written
comments, suggestions or objections regarding its content. No comments
were received during the 60-day comment period.
The Department has certified to the OMB that this final rule meets
the applicable standards provided in sections 2(a) and 2(b) of
Executive Order 12778.
