Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 127 / Wednesday, July 7, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
III. Regulatory Analyses A. Executive Order E.O. 12866
Regulatory Planning and Review, E.O.
13563 Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, and DOT
Regulations This final rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3f of E.O. 12866 58 FR 51735, Oct. 4, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, as supplemented by E.O. 13563 76 FR
3821, Jan. 21, 2011, Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, and this final rule does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6a3 of E.O.
12866. Accordingly, the Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. In addition, this rule is not significant within the meaning of DOT regulations 49 CFR 5.13a. The amendments made in this final rule primarily correct inadvertent errors and omissions, remove or update obsolete references, and make minor language changes to improve clarity and consistency. Some changes are statutorily mandated or relate to previous changes that were statutorily mandated. In accommodating those changes, the Agency is performing nondiscretionary, ministerial acts. Other changes merely align regulatory requirements with the underlying statutory authority. Two changes relate to minor amendments to FMCSAs rules of practice or procedure. None of the changes in this final rule imposes material new requirements or increases compliance obligations; therefore, this final rule imposes no new costs and a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 2 U.S.C. 15311538 requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or Tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $165 million which is the value equivalent of $100 million in 1995, adjusted for inflation to 2018 levels or more in any 1 year. This final rule will not result in such an expenditure.
F. Paperwork Reduction Act Collection of Information This final rule contains no new information collection requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 44 U.S.C. 35013520.
G. E.O. 13132 Federalism A rule has implications for federalism under section 1a of E.O. 13132 if it has substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. FMCSA has determined that this rule will not have substantial direct costs on or for States, nor will it limit the policymaking discretion of States. Nothing in this document preempts any State law or

regulation. Therefore, this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Impact Statement.
H. Privacy The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 Pub. L. 108447, 118 Stat. 2809, 3268, Dec. 8, 2004 5 U.S.C. 552a note, requires the Agency to conduct a privacy impact assessment of a regulation that will affect the privacy of individuals. Because this rule does not require the collection of personally identifiable information, the Agency is not required to conduct a privacy impact assessment.
The Privacy Act 5 U.S.C. 552a applies only to Federal agencies and any non-Federal agency that receives records contained in a system of records from a Federal agency for use in a matching program.
The E-Government Act of 2002 Pub.
L. 107347, sec. 208, 116 Stat. 2899, 2921, Dec. 17, 2002, requires Federal agencies to conduct a privacy impact assessment for new or substantially changed technology that collects, maintains, or disseminates information in an identifiable form. No new or substantially changed technology will collect, maintain, or disseminate information as a result of this rule.
Accordingly, FMCSA has not conducted a privacy impact assessment.
I. E.O. 13175 Indian Tribal Governments This rule does not have Tribal implications under E.O. 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes.
