Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 163 / Thursday, August 22, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
delayed effective date requirements of 5
U.S.C. 553 per subsection (a)(1).
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
As this rulemaking is not required to
be published for notice and comment
under 5 U.S.C. 553, it is exempt from
the regulatory flexibility analysis
requirements set forth by the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. Nonetheless, as this rule
only directly impacts visa applicants,
the Department certifies that this rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
C. Congressional Review Act
This rule is not a major rule as
defined by the Congressional Review
Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.). This rule will
not result in an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million 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 foreignbased companies in domestic and
import markets.
D. Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and
14094
Executive Orders (E.O.) 12866, 13563,
and 14094 do not apply to this rule, as
it pertains to a foreign affairs function.5
Notwithstanding the above, the
Department has submitted this rule to
OIRA for review and OIRA has deemed
this rule not to be a significant
regulatory action. For the reasons stated
above, as this rule affects only visa
applicants, the Department is confident
this rule will not result in significant
impacts to U.S. persons, including U.S.
citizens or lawful permanent residents.

E. Executive Order 13175
The Department has determined that
this rulemaking will not have tribal
implications, will not impose
substantial direct compliance costs on
Indian tribal governments, and will not
pre-empt tribal law. Accordingly, the
requirements of Executive Order 13175
do not apply to this rulemaking.
F. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not impose any new
reporting or record-keeping
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
G. Other
The Department has also considered
this rule under the Unfunded Mandates
5 See E.O. 12866 Sec. 3(d)(2) (excepting from the
definition of regulation those rules ‘‘that pertain to
a . . . foreign affairs function of the United States’’).
