Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 85 / Wednesday, May 5, 2021 / Proposed Rules justice, and climate change. The President stated that to tackle these challenges effectively, executive departments and agencies . . . must be equipped with the flexibility to use robust regulatory action to address national priorities. E.O. 13992 revoked certain executive orders issued prior to January 20, 2021 and directed the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the heads of agencies, including DOT, to promptly take steps to rescind any orders, rules, regulations, guidelines, or policies, or portions thereof, implementing or enforcing these revoked executive orders, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law.
To respond to the Presidents direction in E.O. 13990 and E.O. 13992, the Department seeks input from the public on existing regulations or other agency actions for the Departments consideration regarding consistency with the policies and objectives of these executive orders. In recognition of the fact that safety is the Departments highest priority, DOT also seeks comment on those existing regulations or other agency actions that the Department can address without compromising, or to further improve, safety. The Department welcomes public comment on any of its regulations and other agency actions to achieve the goals of E.O. 13990 and E.O.
13992.
Content of Comments: The Department will review comments submitted timely to the docket associated with this regulatory review, DOTOST20210036. To maximize the usefulness of comments, the Department encourages commenters to provide the following information:
1. Specific reference. A specific reference to the regulation or other agency action that the commenter believes the Department should consider with respect to the goals of E.O. 13990 and E.O. 13992. This should be a citation to the Code of Federal Regulations, a guidance document number, or an internet link. A specific reference will assist the Department in identifying the regulation or other agency action, the original source of the action, and relevant documentation that may describe the history and effects of the action.
2. Description of effects. A description of the effects of the identified regulation or other agency action. A comment that describes the relationship between the regulation or other agency action and the goals of E.O. 13990 and E.O. 13992
is more useful than a comment that merely asserts that the action is either consistent or inconsistent with the

executive orders. Comments that reflect knowledge of or an understanding of the effects and provide data or other information describing those effects are more creditable than comments that do not provide such information.
Verifiable, quantifiable data describing the effects are more useful than anecdotal descriptions.
3. Description of potential alternative actions. If the commenter believes that a regulation or other agency action may be developed that achieves the goals of E.O. 13990 and E.O. 13992, the commenter should describe that regulation or action in detail. Likewise, if the commenter believes that a regulation or other agency action currently meets the goals of one or both executive orders, the commenter should provide that explanation.
4. Examples of affected entities or projects. Commenters may provide examples of entities that are, have been, or will be negatively affected by the identified regulation or other agency action, and examples of entities that will benefit if DOT acts to address the negative effects of the regulation or other agency action. A comment listing specific entities is more useful because it will assist the Department in investigating any negative effects and how DOT may most effectively address these effects.
Scope of Comments: The Department is interested in comments on any DOT
regulation or other agency action for consideration regarding consistency, with the policies and objectives of E.O.
13990 and E.O. 13992.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:

I. Background The Treasury Regulations appearing at 31 CFR part 100, subpart C, are promulgated under 31 U.S.C. 5120, and relate to the exchange of uncurrent, bent, partial, fused, and mixed coins.
The last amendment to 31 CFR part 100, subpart C, was on December 20, 2017.
Since then, the United States Mint has identified additional portions of the regulations in need of revision to further enhance the integrity of the redemption process for bent and partial United States coins.
For many years, the United States Mint has redeemed bent and partial coins for full face value. The policys objective was always to maintain public confidence in United States coinage and protect the integrity of the currency by removing coins that were unfit for circulation through general wear and tear. However, in recent years, the volume of coins submitted for possible redemption has greatly increased.
Additionally, the condition of many coins submitted for examination precludes effective authentication.
Rather than removing damaged coins from general domestic coin circulation, as was the intended purpose, many participants are seeking to submit large quantities of coins that, in some cases, have already been removed from general circulation e.g., recovered from scrap or trash processing, or in other cases, are extremely difficult to authenticate due to their condition and volume.
