Acceptance of Donations
AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this document, the Bureau of Prisons is removing from the
Code of Federal Regulations obsolete regulations concerning the
acceptance of donations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 8, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Rules Unit, Office of General Counsel, Bureau of Prisons,
HOLC Room 754, 320 First Street, NW., Washington, DC 20534.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roy Nanovic, Office of General
Counsel, Bureau of Prisons, phone (202) 514-6655.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Prisons is removing its
regulations on the acceptance of donations (28 CFR part 504). A final
rule on this subject was published in the Federal Register September
22, 1989 (54 FR 39094) and was amended November 17, 1993 (58 FR 60768).
Authority to accept donations for use by the Bureau of Prisons or
Federal Prison Industries, Inc. was delegated by the Attorney General
to the Director of the Bureau of Prisons in 28 CFR 0.96(s). This
delegation was rescinded on January 28, 1999 (64 FR 4295). The Bureau
is accordingly removing its regulations on the subject.
Because an immediate rescission is required pursuant to the change
in delegated authority, the Bureau finds good cause for exempting the
provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring
notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public comment, and
delay in effective date. Members of the public may submit comments
concerning this rule by writing to the previously cited address. These
comments will be considered but will receive no response in the Federal
Register.
Executive Order 12866
This rule falls within a category of actions that the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has determined not to constitute
``significant regulatory actions'' under section 3(f) of Executive
Order 12866 and, accordingly, it was not reviewed by OMB.
Executive Order 12612
This regulation will not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the national government and the
States, or on distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with Executive
Order 12612, it is determined that this rule does not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism
Assessment.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Director of the Bureau of Prisons, in accordance with the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has reviewed this
regulation and by approving it certifies that this regulation will not
have a significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small
entities for the following reasons: This rule pertains to the
correctional management of offenders committed to the custody of the
Attorney General or the Director of the Bureau of Prisons, and its
economic impact is limited to the Bureau's appropriated funds.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local and
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of
$100,000,000 or more in any one year, and it will not significantly or
uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed
necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996
This rule is not a major rule as defined by Sec. 804 of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. This rule will
not result in an annual effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or more;
a major increase in costs or prices; or significant adverse effects on
competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or on
the ability of United States-based companies to compete with foreign-
based companies in domestic and export markets.
