Delegation of Authority To Grant or Deny Exemptions From Rule 612 of Regulation NMS Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 11 / Friday, January 16, 2026 / Rules and Regulations 2081 the lack of similar cross-references for other Department-wide regulations). Eliminating § 903.1, and therefore 15 CFR part 903 in its entirety, is consistent with the Department’s broader policy and effort to remove regulations that are not statutorily required and do not serve any compelling function. This elimination will streamline NOAA’s regulations without altering any substantive rights or obligations. III. Regulatory Certifications A. Administrative Procedure Act Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Department finds good cause to waive the prior notice and opportunity for public participation requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act for this final rule. The Department considers this rule to be uncontroversial, and has determined that prior notice and opportunity for public participation is unnecessary, because this rule only removes an entirely unnecessary cross￾reference to other applicable regulations; public participation could not justify the continued maintenance of 15 CFR part 903. For the same reasons, the Department has determined that delaying the effectiveness of these amendments would be contrary to the public interest. The language being removed by this rule serves no meaningful, independent purpose and effectively amounts to regulatory clutter; its removal will immediately benefit the public at little to no cost. The Department therefore finds good cause to waive the public notice and comment period under 553(b)(B) and to waive the 30-day delay in effectiveness under 553(d). B. Executive Orders 12866, 14192, 13132 The Office of Management and Budget has determined this rule is not significant pursuant to Executive Order (‘‘E.O.’’) 12866. This rule is an E.O. 14192 deregulatory action. This rule does not contain policies having federalism implications as the term is defined in E.O. 13132. C. Regulatory Flexibility Act Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public participation are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required, and none has been prepared. D. Paperwork Reduction Act This rule will not impose additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 17 CFR 200.30–3, the Commission has delegated certain functions to the Director of the Division of Trading and Markets (‘‘Director’’) to be performed by the Director or under the Director’s direction by such person or persons as may be designated from time to time by the Chairman of the Commission, including the authority to grant and deny exemptions from Rule 612. The Commission is amending 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(83) to correct an outdated cross-reference to the subsection of Rule 612 that authorizes the Commission to grant exemptions from Rule 612. Currently, 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(83) states that the Commission delegates to the Director the ability to ‘‘grant or deny exemptions from Rule 612 (17 CFR 242.612), pursuant to Rule 612(c) (17 CFR 242.612(c)).’’ On September 18, 2024, the Commission adopted Regulation NMS: Minimum Pricing Increments, Access Fees and Transparency of Better Priced Orders 1 which, among other things, renumbered Rule 612(c), which provided the Commission’s authority to grant exemptions from Rule 612, as Rule 612(d) without making any substantive changes to such authority. This amendment makes a technical correction to 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(83) to reflect that renumbering.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: By this rule, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) amend its regulations governing the use of supplies in emergency relief work by removing an outdated and obsolete one￾time reporting requirement. This action is necessary to streamline the Department’s regulations and to remove a provision that no longer serves any practical purpose and that poses a risk of distraction and confusion. The intended effect of this action is to minimize regulatory complexity and clutter, and to preserve the relevancy and accuracy of the Department’s regulations. DATES: The rule is effective January 16, 2026. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Sweeney, Senior Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, at (202) 482– 1395. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Executive Summary The Department is amending its regulations at 19 CFR part 358, which pertain to the use of supplies in emergency relief work. Specifically, the Department is amending Part 358 by removing § 358.104, a provision that established a one-time reporting requirement that is now obsolete. The Department is taking this action to reduce regulatory complexity, to eliminate clutter from the Code of Federal Regulations, and to ensure that the Department’s regulations are relevant and accurate. II. Background The regulations at 19 CFR part 358 establish the procedures through which the Secretary of Commerce may permit the temporary importation of certain supplies free of antidumping and countervailing duties during a Presidentially-declared emergency. The Department established these regulations in a final rule on October 30, 2006 (71 FR 63234). That rule implemented the authority granted to the Secretary of Commerce under section 318(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1318(a)), which allows for the duty-free importation of supplies for emergency relief work. This authority was originally vested in the Secretary of the Treasury, but it was delegated to the Secretary of Commerce with respect to antidumping and countervailing duties in 1979. The 2006 final rule was promulgated to create a clear and defined process for the Department to exercise this authority, thereby facilitating access to critical resources, such as food, clothing, medical supplies, and other necessary goods, in the event of a declared emergency. As part of the original rulemaking, the Department promulgated 19 CFR 358.104, titled ‘‘Report.’’ That section required the Secretary to review the first five years of the operation of part 358 and issue a report on its findings. The purpose of this one-time report was to consider and document the impact that determinations permitting the duty-free importation of emergency supplies had on U.S. parties that had previously been found to be injured by dumped and/or subsidized imports. The Department included this provision because it had no prior experience with this waiver mechanism and sought to monitor its application for any potential VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:32 Jan 15, 2026 Jkt 268001 PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\16JAR1.SGM 16JAR1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
