docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call<PHONE_NUMBER> (toll free). For
TTY, call<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Specifically, North Baja seeks authorization to construct: (1) A
new direct interconnection with the facilities of Gasoducto Bajanorte
at the United States-Mexico border; (2) a new, 3.27 mile, 12-inch
diameter pipeline extending from the international border a the
Colorado River to the Yucca Power Plant in Yuma, Arizona; and (3) the
Yuma 1 Delivery Meter Station. North Baja estimates that the
proposed facilities will cost $8,533,914. North Baja states that the
purpose of the facilities is to provide 81,250 Dth per day of firm
natural gas transportation service to the Yucca Power Plant owned by
Arizona Public Service Company. North Baja proposes new incremental
rates under Rate Schedule LAT-1 for service on the Yuma Lateral.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Henry P. Morse, Jr., General Manager, North Baja Pipeline, LLC, 1400
SW., Fifth Avenue, Suite 900, Portland, Oregon 97201, at (503) 833-
4108.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to

the party or parties directly involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    On June 21, 2007, the Commission staff granted North Baja's request
to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF07-11-000
to staff activities involving CIG's proposal. Now, as of the filing of
North Baja's application on April 15, 2008, the Pre-Filing Process for
this project has officially concluded. And while the PF Docket Number
is now closed, all of the information contained in the Pre-Filing
Process will become part of the certificate proceeding. From this time
forward, CIG's proceeding will be conducted in Docket Nos. CP08-152-000
and CP01-23-006, as noted in the caption of this Notice. All future
correspondence should refer to these CP docket numbers only
    Comment Date: May 15, 2008.

RIN 2120-AJ18

Pilot in Command Proficiency Check and Other Changes to the Pilot
and Pilot School Certification Rules; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final rule published on August 31,
2011 (76 FR 54095). In that rule, the FAA amended its regulations to
revise the pilot, flight instructor, and pilot school certification
requirements. In particular, the FAA expanded the obligation for a
pilot-in-command (PIC) proficiency check to pilots of all turbojet-
powered aircraft. This expansion included single-pilot turbojet-powered
aircraft and, with some exceptions, also included turbojet-powered
experimental aircraft. The FAA intended, and those that commented on
the proposed rule expected, a period that would allow pilots of these
aircraft sufficient time to come into compliance with the new PIC
requirement. This document corrects the final rule to establish this
period for initial compliance.

DATES: The effective date of this technical correction is October 31,
2011.

this final rule contact Jeffrey Smith, Airman Certification and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 31, 2011 (76 FR 54095), the FAA published a final rule
that amended the pilot, flight instructor, and pilot school
certification requirements. The FAA is now issuing a technical
amendment to correct the failure to include a period of time to allow
the regulated entities to come into compliance with the final rule.

Correction

    As part of the final rule, the FAA revised Sec.  61.58 to extend
the requirements for PIC proficiency checks. Prior to the final rule,
this section only required PIC proficiency checks for pilots acting as
PIC in aircraft that were type certificated for more than one pilot
flight crewmember. In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
published on August 31, 2009 (74 FR 44779), the FAA proposed to extend
the Sec.  61.58 PIC proficiency check requirements to pilots acting as
PIC of any turbojet powered aircraft. The FAA received a significant
amount of comments opposing the proposed rule as written due to the
impact it would have on pilots operating experimental jets. Based on
the comments, the FAA intentionally included the Sec.  61.58 PIC
proficiency check requirements for pilots operating experimental
turbojet-powered aircraft. However, pilots operating experimental
aircraft that possessed only one seat through original design or
through modification were excepted from these requirements, and pilots
of other experimental turbo-jet powered aircraft were given several
alternative means of compliance with the Sec.  61.58 proficiency check
requirements.
    In contrast to the comments regarding experimental jets, the FAA
did not receive any comments during the NPRM phase expressing
resistance to Sec.  61.58 PIC proficiency checks for pilots of standard
category, single-piloted turbojet-powered aircraft. In fact, several of
the commenters expressed the opinion that the proposal was appropriate
for standard category aircraft that are type certificated to be flown
by a single pilot. The FAA intentionally included the Sec.  61.58 PIC
proficiency check requirements for pilots that operate a standard
category turbojet aircraft to receive proficiency.
    Prior to the final rule, pilots of these aircraft were not required
to comply with the provisions of Sec.  61.58; however, the final rule
did not include the intended and necessary transition period for these
pilots to come into compliance. The final rule becomes effective on
October 31, 2011, and, without this correction, does not provide
adequate time for compliance with theSec.  61.58 PIC proficiency check
requirements. This correction to the final rule will allow pilots
operating these aircraft 1 additional year, until October 31, 2012, to
complete an initial Sec.  61.58 PIC proficiency check.
    The FAA believes that some pilots that operate turbojet-powered
aircraft undergo annual training and testing in order to satisfy
insurance requirements. While the training and testing may be
sufficient in scope to complete a Sec.  61.58 PIC proficiency check
going forward, prior to the final rule these pilots may not have been
able to complete a Sec.  61.58 PIC proficiency check. The FAA intended
for there to be sufficient transition period for these pilots to
complete a Sec.  61.58 PIC proficiency check within their normal annual
training cycle. The intended transition period of 1 year will allow
training providers sufficient time to adjust their training program as
necessary in order to include a Sec.  61.58 PIC proficiency check as a
part of their offered courses. The transition period will also allow
pilots not currently receiving annual training the ability to make
arrangements to complete a Sec.  61.58 PIC proficiency check. This
correction provides this transition period by establishing the initial
compliance date for a Sec.  61.58 PIC proficiency check for those
pilots not previously subject to the provisions of this section.

The Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends chapter I of title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations as follows:
