[Docket No. FAA-2009-0916; Airspace Docket No. 09-ACE-12]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Cedar Rapids, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

accommodate Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAPs) at The Eastern Iowa Airport, Cedar Rapids, IA. The

Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 3, 2010. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR
part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone (817) 321-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 18, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace for The Eastern
Iowa Airport, Cedar Rapids, IA (74 FR 67141) Docket No. FAA-2009-0916.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and
effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class E airspace designated as surface areas to
accommodate SIAPs at The Eastern Iowa Airport, Cedar Rapids, IA. This
action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at
the airport.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (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); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends controlled airspace at The Eastern Iowa Airport, Cedar
Rapids, IA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-585, Reporting of Electric Energy shortages and
Contingency Plans under PURPA.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0138.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-585 information
collection requirements with no changes to the reporting requirements.
    Abstract: The information collected under the requirements of FERC-
585, ``Reporting of Electric Energy Shortages and Contingency Plans
under PURPA'', is used by the Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of section 206 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act
of 1979 (PURPA) Public Law 95-617, 92 Stat. 3117. Section 206 of PURPA
amended the Federal Power Act (FPA) by adding a new subsection (g) to
section 202, under which the Commission by rule, was to require each
public utility to (1) report to the Commission and appropriate state
regulatory authorities of any anticipated shortages of electric energy
or capacity which would affect the utility's capability to serve its
wholesale customers; and (2) report to the Commission and any
appropriate state regulatory authority contingency plan that would
outline what circumstances might give rise to such occurrences.
    In Order No. 575,\1\ the Commission modified the reporting
requirements in 18 CFR 294.101(b) to provide that, if a public utility
includes in its rates schedule, provisions that: (a) During electric
energy and capacity shortages it will treat firm power wholesale
customers without undue discrimination or preference; and (b) it will
report any modifications to its contingency plan for accommodating
shortages within 15 days to the appropriate state regulatory agency and
to the affected wholesale customers, then the utility need not file
with the Commission an additional statement of contingency plan for
accommodating such shortages. This revision merely changed the
reporting mechanism; the public utility's contingency plan would be
located in its filed rate rather than in a separate document.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 60 FR 4859 (25 Jan 1995).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In Order No. 659,\2\ the Commission modified the reporting
requirements in 18 CFR 294.101(e) to provide that the means by which
public utilities must comply with the requirements to report shortages
and anticipated shortages is to submit this information electronically
using the Office of Electric Reliability's pager system at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>in lieu of submitting an original and two copies
with the Secretary of the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 70 FR 35028 (16 Jun 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission uses the information to evaluate and formulate an
appropriate option for action in the event an unanticipated shortage is
reported and/or materializes. Without this information, the Commission
and State agencies would be unable to: (1) Examine and approve or
modify utility actions, (2) prepare a response to anticipated
disruptions in electric energy, and (3) ensure equitable treatment of
all public utility customers under the shortage situations. The
Commission implements these filing requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR Part 294.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \3\ The Commission estimates the total
Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For
further explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.
    \4\ Not applicable.

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
