J. National Environmental Policy Act This rule does not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. A
detailed statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
NEPA is not required because this is an administrative and procedural regulation. For further information see 43 CFR 46.210i. We have also determined that this rule does not involve any of the extraordinary circumstances listed in 43 CFR 46.215
that would require further analysis under NEPA.
K. Effects on the Energy Supply E.O.
13211
This rule is not a significant energy action under the definition in Executive Order 13211. A Statement of Energy Effects is not required.
L. Determination To Issue Final Rule With Immediate Effective Date This final rule is not subject to the effective date limitation of 5 U.S.C.
553d because there is good cause to dispense with the 30-day delayed effective date requirement in this case.
The regulation sets out how a grant program will be conducted, under provisions largely prescribed by statute.
A delayed effective date would be unnecessary and contrary to the public interest because it would only serve to delay the Departments ability to solicit applications for the grant funding.
