31 CFR Subtitles A and B
Semiannual Agenda and Fiscal Year 2017 Regulatory Plan
AGENCY: Department of the Treasury.
ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda and annual regulatory plan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice is given pursuant to the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order (E.O.) 12866
(``Regulatory Planning and Review''), which require the publication by
the Department of a semiannual agenda of regulations. E.O. 12866 also
requires the publication by the Department of a regulatory plan for the
upcoming fiscal year. The purpose of the agenda is to provide advance
information about pending regulatory activities and encourage public
participation in the regulatory process.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Agency Contact identified in the
item relating to that regulation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The semiannual regulatory agenda includes
regulations that the Department has issued or expects to issue and
rules currently in effect that are under departmental or bureau review.
For this edition of the regulatory agenda, the most important
significant regulatory actions and a Statement of Regulatory Priorities
are included in the Regulatory Plan, which appears in both the online
Unified Agenda and in part II of the Federal Register publication that
includes the Unified Agenda.
Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the internet has been the
primary medium for disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete
Unified Agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov and
www.regulations.gov, in a format that offers users an enhanced ability
to obtain information from the Agenda database. Because publication in
the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agenda
required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), Treasury's
printed agenda entries include only:
(1) Rules that are in the regulatory flexibility agenda, in
accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are likely
to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities; and
(2) Rules that have been identified for periodic review under
section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain
information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's Agenda
requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in
the Unified Agenda published on the internet. In addition, for fall
editions of the Agenda, the entire Regulatory Plan will continue to be
printed in the Federal Register, as in past years.
The Department has listed in this agenda all regulations and
regulatory reviews pending at the time of publication, except for
technical, minor, and routine actions. On occasion, a regulatory matter
may be inadvertently left off of the agenda or an emergency may arise
that requires the Department to initiate a regulatory action not yet on
the agenda. There is no legal significance to the omission of an item
from this agenda. For most entries, Treasury includes a projected date
for the next rulemaking action; however, the date is an estimate and is
not a commitment to publish on the projected date. In addition, some
agenda entries are marked as ``withdrawn'' when there has been no
publication activity. Withdrawal of a rule from the agenda does not
necessarily mean that a rule will not be included in a future agenda
but may mean that further consideration is warranted and that the
regulatory action is unlikely in the next 12 months.
Public participation in the rulemaking process is the foundation of
effective regulations. For this reason, the Department invites comments
on all regulatory and de-regulatory items included in the agenda and
invites input on items that should be included in the semiannual
agenda.

Assistant General Counsel for General Law and Regulation.
