    (a) This part contains the basic policies and procedures of the 

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for adoption of rules. These 

policies and procedures incorporate those provisions of section 4 of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553) which FEMA will 

follow. This part and internal FEMA Manuals implement Executive Order 

12291.

    (b) Rules which must be published are described in section 3(a) of 

the APA, 5 U.S.C. 552(a). FEMA implementation of paragraph (a) is 

contained in 44 CFR part 5, subpart B.

    (c) This part contains policies and procedures for implementation of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act which took effect January 1, 1981.

    (d) A FEMA Manual No. 1140.1, ``The Formulation, Drafting, 

Clearance, and Publication of Federal Register Documents'' has been 

issued describing the internal procedures including policy level 

oversight of FEMA for:

    (1) Publishing the semiannual agenda of significant regulations 

under development and review;

    (2) Making initial determinations with respect to significance of 

proposed rulemaking;

    (3) Determining the need for regulatory analyses; and

    (4) Reviewing existing regulations, including the reviews required 

by the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    (e) As the FEMA Manual deals with internal management it is not 

subject to the requirements either of 5 U.S.C. 552 or 553. Its 

provisions are not part of this rule and reference to it is informative 

only.
