the environmental effect, if any, of the existing regulations.
Therefore, the Departments have determined that, even if NEPA applied to this action, this proposed rule clearly fits within categorical exclusion A3d in the Instruction Manual, which provides an exclusion for promulgation of rules . . . that amend an existing regulation without changing its environmental effect. Furthermore, the Departments have determined that this proposed rule clearly fits within the categorical exclusion A3a in the Instruction Manual because the proposed rule is of a strictly administrative or procedural nature.
This proposed rule is not a part of a larger action and presents no extraordinary circumstances creating the potential for significant environmental effects. Therefore, this proposed rule is categorically excluded and no further NEPA analysis is required.
