III. How Fees Are Adjusted The BLM took the base values or existing values upon which it derived the FY 2021 cost recovery fees or existing fees and multiplied them by the percent change in the IPDGDP
1.26 percent for this update to generate the IPDGDP increases in dollars.
The BLM then added the IPDGDP
increases to the existing values to generate the new values. The BLM
then calculated the new fees by rounding the new values to the closest multiple of $5 for fees equal to or greater than $1, or to the nearest cent for fees under $1. The new fees are the updated cost recovery fees for FY
2022.
The source for IDPGDP data is the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, specifically, Table 1.1.9. Implicit Price Deflators for Gross Domestic Product, which the BLM accessed on May 13, 2021, on the web at https apps.bea.gov/iTable/
iTable.cfm?reqid=19&step=2reqid=19&
step=3&isuri=1&1921=survey&1903=13.
IV. Procedural Matters Regulatory Planning and Review Executive Order 12866
This document is not a significant rule, and the Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed this final rule under Executive Order 12866.
The BLM has determined that this final rule will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more. It will not adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or communities. The changes in this rule are much smaller than those in the 2005 Cost Recovery

This final rule will not have a significant economic effect on a substantial number of small entities as defined under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.. As a result, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is not required. The Small Business Administration SBA defines small entities as individual, limited partnerships, or small companies considered to be at arms length from

This final rule will not create inconsistencies or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency. This rule does not change the relationships of the onshore minerals programs with other agencies actions. These relationships are included in agreements and memoranda of understanding that will not change with this rule.
In addition, this final rule does not materially affect the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, or loan programs, or the rights and obligations of their recipients. This rule applies an inflationary adjustment factor to existing user fees for processing certain actions associated with the onshore minerals programs.
Finally, this final rule will not raise novel legal or policy issues. As explained earlier, this rule simply implements an annual process to account for inflation that was adopted by and explained in the 2005 Cost Recovery Rule.

The BLM
notes that this final rule does not affect service industries, for which the SBA
has a different definition of small entity.
The final rule may affect a large number of small entities because 15 fees for activities on public lands will be increased. The adjustments result in no increase in the fees for processing 33
actions relating to the BLMs minerals programs. The highest adjustment, in dollar terms, is for adjudications of mineral patent applications involving
