Amendments to Forms and Schedules To Remove Voluntary Provision of Social Security Numbers

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued a final rule to correct a technical error in Form MSD regarding the voluntary provision of Social Security numbers. This action removes a reference to Social Security numbers from the form's instructions that was inadvertently omitted during a 1997 amendment. The correction ensures consistency with prior revisions that eliminated requests for Social Security numbers from natural persons filing under various securities acts.

comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reasons stated above, we find that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days. Authority for This Rulemaking Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA’s authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. ‘‘Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,’’ describes in more detail the scope of the Agency’s authority. We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.’’ Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action. Regulatory Findings We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. For the reasons discussed, I certify that this AD:

  1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
  2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
  3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
  4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
