Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 31, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
Is determined to be economically significant as defined under Executive Order 12866, and 2 concerns an environmental, health, or safety risk that the agency has reason to believe may have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health or safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
This rule is not economically significant as defined under Executive Order 12866. Further, this rulemaking is not expected to have a disproportionate health or safety impact on children.
Consequently, no further analysis is required under Executive Order 13045.

F. Paperwork Reduction Act Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 PRA, a person is not required to respond to a collection of information by a Federal agency unless the collection displays a valid OMB control number. There is no information collection requirement associated with this rule.
G. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act Section 12d of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act NTTAA requires NHTSA to evaluate and use existing voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless doing so would be inconsistent with applicable law e.g., the statutory provisions regarding NHTSAs vehicle safety authority or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies.
Technical standards are defined by the NTTAA as performance-based or design-specific technical specification and related management systems practices. They pertain to products and processes, such as size, strength, or technical performance of a product, process or material.
Examples of organizations generally regarded as voluntary consensus standards bodies include ASTM
International, the Society of Automotive Engineers SAE, and the American National Standards Institute ANSI. If NHTSA does not use available and potentially applicable voluntary consensus standards, we are required by the Act to provide Congress, through OMB, an explanation of the reasons for not using such standards.
There are no voluntary consensus standards developed by voluntary

consensus standards bodies pertaining to this rule.
H. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 UMRA
requires Federal agencies to prepare a written assessment of the costs, benefits, and other effects of proposed or final rules that include a Federal mandate likely to result in the expenditure by State, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of more than $100 million annually adjusted for inflation with base year of 1995. Before promulgating a NHTSA
rule for which a written statement is needed, section 205 of the UMRA
generally requires the Agency to identify and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt the least costly, most costeffective, or least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205 do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law.
Moreover, section 205 allows the Agency to adopt an alternative other than the least costly, most cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative if the Agency publishes with the final rule an explanation of why that alternative was not adopted.
This final rule would not result in any expenditure by State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector of more than $100 million, adjusted for inflation.
I. National Environmental Policy Act NHTSA has analyzed this rulemaking action for the purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act. The Agency has determined that implementation of this action would not have any significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
J. Congressional Review Act Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs designated this rule as not a major rule as defined by 5 U.S.C. 8042.
K. Regulation Identifier Number RIN
