ACTION: Technical amendment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This document amends two sections of the Benefits Review Board's regulation in order to notify the public that the Board will be soon be moving to a new address, and that correspondence and legal pleadings are to be mailed to and filed at this new address. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 7, 1997. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Lahrman, Associate General Counsel, telephone (202) 565-7500. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By March 10, 1997, the Benefits Review Board will have moved to new offices in the Frances Perkins Department of Labor Building in Washington, D.C. The new address is: Benefits Review Board, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Rooms N-5101 and S-5220, Washington, DC 20210, Telephone (202) 565-7500. This document amends the two relevant sections in the Code of Federal Regulations in order to present the new address. Publication in Final The Department has determined that these amendments need not be published as a proposed rule, as generally required by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553) since this rulemaking merely reflects agency organization, procedure, or practice. It is thus exempt from notice and comment by virtue of section 553(b)(A) of the APA (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A)). Effective Date This document will become effective upon publication pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d). The undersigned have determined that good cause exists for waiving the customary requirement for delay in the effective date of a final rule for 30 days following its publication. This determination is based upon the fact that the rule is technical and non-substantive, and merely reflects agency organization, practice and procedure. Executive Order 12866 This rule is not classified as a ``rule'' under Executive Order 12866 on federal regulations, because it is a regulation relating to agency organization, management or personnel. See section 3(d)(3). Regulatory Flexibility Act Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule under section 553(b) of the APA, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601) pertaining to regulatory flexibility analysis do not apply to this rule. See 5 U.S.C. 601(2). Paperwork Reduction Act This final rule is not subject to section 3504(h) of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501) since it does not contain any new collection of information requirements. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act This rule is not classified as a ``rule'' under the Small Business Reduction Regulatory Fairness Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) (SBREFA) because it is a regulation relating to agency organization, procedure, or practice that does not substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-agency parties. See section 804 (3)(C) of SBREFA. List of Subjects in 20 CFR Parts 801 and 802 Coal mine workers, Longshore and harbor workers, Worker's compensation.
