Instruction 8 to paragraph (d): A feasibility study must contain
the application and description of all relevant modifying factors in a
more detailed form and with more certainty than a pre-feasibility
study. For example, as provided in Table 1 of this subpart, a
feasibility study must define, analyze or otherwise address in detail:
    i. Final requirements for site infrastructure, including well-
defined access roads, finalized plans for infrastructure location,
plant area, and camp or town site, and the established source of all
required utilities (e.g., power and water) for development and
production;
    ii. Finalized mining method, including detailed mine layouts and
final development and production plan for the preferred alternative
with the required equipment fleet specified. The feasibility study must
address detailed mining schedules, construction and production ramp up,
and project execution plans;
    iii. Completed detailed bench lab tests and a pilot plant test, if
required, based on risk. The feasibility study must further address
final requirements for process flow sheet, equipment sizes, and general
arrangement and specify the final plant throughput;
    iv. The final identification and detailed analysis of environmental
compliance and permitting requirements, including the finalized
interests of agencies, NGOs, communities and other stakeholders. The
feasibility study must further address the completion of baseline
studies and finalized plans for tailings disposal, reclamation and
mitigation; and
    v. Detailed assessments of other modifying factors necessary to
demonstrate that extraction is economically viable.
    Instruction 9 to paragraph (d): A feasibility study must also
include an economic analysis that describes taxes in detail, estimates
revenues and assesses economic viability by a detailed discounted cash
flow analysis. As discussed in Instruction 1 to paragraph (d) of this
section, in certain situations, estimates of revenues must be based on
a final market study or letters of intent to purchase.
    Instruction 10 to paragraph (d): Operating and capital cost
estimates in a feasibility study must, at a minimum, have an accuracy
level of approximately 15% and a contingency range not
exceeding 10%, as provided by Table 1 of this subpart. The qualified
person must state the accuracy level and contingency range in the
feasibility study.
    Instruction 11 to paragraph (d): If the uncertainties in the
results obtained from the application of the modifying factors that
prevented a measured mineral resource from being converted to a proven
mineral reserve no longer exist, then the qualified person may convert
the measured mineral resource to a proven mineral reserve.
    Instruction 12 to paragraph (d): The qualified person cannot
convert an indicated mineral resource to a proven mineral reserve
unless new evidence first justifies conversion to a measured mineral
resource.
    Instruction 13 to paragraph (d): The qualified person cannot
convert an inferred mineral resource to a mineral reserve without first
obtaining new evidence that justifies converting it to an indicated or
measured mineral resource.

value, of the

20 properties with the largest asset value (or fewer if the registrant
has an economic interest in fewer than 20 mining properties). For each
of the properties required to be included in the presentation, the
registrant must identify the property, report the total production from
the property for the three most recently completed fiscal years, and
disclose the following information, using the format in Table 2 of this
subpart:

end of the most recently completed fiscal year by commodity and
geographic area and for each property containing 10% or more of the
registrant's mineral reserves or 10% or more of the registrant's
combined measured and indicated mineral resources. This summary must be
provided for each class of mineral reserves (probable and proven) and
resources (inferred, indicated and measured), together with total
mineral reserves and total measured and indicated mineral resources,
using the format in Table 3 of this subpart.
    Instruction 1 to paragraph (b)(3): The term by geographic area
means by individual country, regions of a country, state, groups of
states, mining district, or other political units, to the extent
material to and necessary for an investor's understanding of a
registrant's mining operations.
    Instruction 2 to paragraph (b)(3): All disclosure of mineral
resources must be exclusive of mineral reserves.
    Instruction 3 to paragraph (b)(3): All disclosure of mineral
resources and reserves must be only for the portion of the resources or
reserves attributable to the registrant's interest in the property.
    Instruction 4 to paragraph (b)(3): All mineral resource and reserve
estimates

must be based on long term price that is no higher than the average
spot price over the 24-month period prior to the end of the fiscal year
covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average
of the daily closing price for each trading day within such period,
unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements.

\1\ Unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, the registrant must use a commodity price that is no higher than the average spot price
  during the 24-month period prior to the end of the last fiscal year, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the daily closing price for
  each trading day within such period and must disclose the price used. When prices are defined by contractual agreements, the registrant may use the
  price set by the contractual arrangement, provided that such price is reasonable, and the registrant discloses that it is using a contractual price
  and discloses the contractual price used.

Sec.  229.1304  (Item 1304) Individual property disclosure.

    (a) A registrant must disclose the information specified in
paragraph (b) of this section for each property that is material to its
business or financial condition. When determining the materiality of a
property relative to its business or financial condition, a registrant
must apply the standards and other considerations specified in Sec.
229.1301(b) to each individual property that it:
    (i) Owns or in which it has, or it is probable that it will have, a
direct or indirect economic interest;
    (ii) Operates, or it is probable that it will operate, under a
lease or other legal agreement that grants the registrant ownership or
similar rights that authorize it, as principal, to sell or otherwise
dispose of the mineral; or
    (iii) Has, or it is probable that it will have, an associated
royalty or similar right.
    (b) Disclose the following information for each material property
specified in paragraph (a) of this section:
    (1) A brief description of the property including:
    (i) The location, accurate to within one mile, using an easily
recognizable coordinate system. The registrant must provide appropriate
maps, with proper engineering detail (such as scale, orientation, and
titles). Such maps must be legible on the page when printed;
    (ii) Existing infrastructure including roads, railroads, airports,
towns, ports, sources of water, electricity, and personnel; and
    (iii) A brief description, including the name or number and size
(acreage), of the titles, claims, concessions, mineral rights, leases
or options under which the registrant and its subsidiaries have or will
have the right to hold or operate the property, and how such rights are
obtained at this location, indicating any conditions that the
registrant must meet in order to obtain or retain the property. If held
by leases or options or if the mineral rights otherwise have
termination provisions, the registrant must provide the expiration
dates of such leases, options or mineral rights and associated
payments.
    (iv) If the registrant holds a royalty or similar interest or will
have an associated royalty or similar right, the disclosure must
describe all of the information in paragraph (b)(1) of this

section, including, for example, the documents under which the owner or
operator holds or operates the property, the mineral rights held by the
owner or operator, conditions required to be met by the owner or
operator, and the expiration dates of leases, options and mineral
rights. The registrant must also briefly describe the agreement under
which the registrant and its subsidiaries have or will have the right
to a royalty or similar interest in the property, indicating any
conditions that the registrant must meet in order to obtain or retain
the royalty or similar interest, and indicating the expiration date.
    (2) A brief history of previous operations, including the names of
previous operators, insofar as known;
    (3) The following information, as relevant to the particular
property:
    (i) A brief description of the present condition of the property,
the work completed by the registrant on the property, the registrant's
proposed program of exploration or development, the current stage of
the property as exploration, development or production, the current
state of exploration or development of the property, and the current
production activities. Mines should be identified as either surface or
underground, with a brief description of the mining method and
processing operations. If the property is without known reserves and
the proposed program is exploratory in nature or the registrant has
started extraction without determining mineral reserves, the registrant
must provide a statement to that effect;
    (ii) The age, details as to modernization and physical condition of
the equipment, facilities, infrastructure, and underground development;
and
    (iii) The total cost for or book value of the property and its
associated plant and equipment.
    Instruction to paragraph (b)(3): A registrant must identify an
individual property with no mineral reserves as an exploration stage
property, even if it has other properties in development or production.
Similarly, a registrant that does not have reserves on any of its
properties cannot characterize itself as a development or production
stage company, even if it has mineral resources or exploration results,
or even if it is engaged in extraction without first disclosing mineral
reserves.
    (4) A brief description of any significant encumbrances to the
property, including current and future permitting requirements and
associated timelines, permit conditions, and violations and fines.
    (5) A summary of the exploration activity for the most recently
completed fiscal year in tabular form, which, for each sampling method
used, discloses the number of samples, the total size or length of the
samples, and the total number of assays. The information must be
presented using the format in Table 4 of this subpart.

\1\ Use these two columns to disclose reserves at the end of each of the last two fiscal years.

    (9) If the registrant has not previously disclosed mineral reserve
or resource estimates in a filing with the Commission or is disclosing
material changes to its previously disclosed mineral reserve or
resource estimates, provide a brief discussion of the material
assumptions and criteria in the disclosure and cite to corresponding
sections of the technical report summary, which must be filed as an
exhibit pursuant to Sec.  229.1302(b).
    (10) If the registrant has not previously disclosed material
exploration results in a filing with the Commission, or is disclosing
material changes to its previously disclosed exploration results, it
must provide sufficient information to allow for an accurate
understanding of the significance of the exploration results. This must
include information such as exploration context, type and method of
sampling, sampling intervals and methods, relevant sample locations,
distribution, dimensions, and relative location of all relevant assay
and physical data, data aggregation methods, land tenure status, and
any additional material information that may be necessary to make the
required disclosure concerning the registrant's exploration results not
misleading. The registrant must cite to corresponding sections of the
summary technical report, which must be filed as an exhibit pursuant to
Sec.  229.1302(b).
    Instruction 1 to paragraphs (b)(9) and (10): Whether a change in
exploration results, mineral resources, or mineral reserves, is
material is based on all facts and circumstances, both quantitative and
qualitative.
    Instruction 2 to paragraphs (b)(9) and (10): A change in
exploration results that significantly alters the potential of the
exploration target is considered material.
    Instruction 3 to paragraphs (b)(9) and (10): An annual change in
total resources or reserves of 10% or more, excluding production as
reported in Tables 7 and 8 of this subpart, is presumed to be material.
    Instruction 4 to paragraphs (b)(9) and (10): A cumulative change in
total resources or reserves of 30% or more in absolute terms, excluding
production as reported in Tables 7 and 8 of this subpart, from the
current filed technical report summary is presumed to be material.
    Instruction 5 to paragraphs (b)(9) and (10): In assessing the
presumption of materiality tests, the registrant should consider the
change in total resources or reserves on the basis of total tonnage or
volume of saleable product.
    Instruction 6 to paragraphs (b)(9) and (10): A registrant must also
carefully consider whether the filed technical report summary is
current with respect to all material assumptions and information,
including assumptions relating to all modifying factors and scientific
and technical information (e.g. sampling data, estimation assumptions
and methods). To the extent that the registrant is not filing a
technical report summary but instead is basing the required disclosure
upon a previously filed report, that report must also be current in
these material respects. If the previously filed report is not current
in these material respects, the registrant must file a revised or new
summary technical report from a qualified person, in compliance with
Item 601(b)(96) of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.601(b)(96)), that
supports the registrant's mining property disclosures.
    Instruction 7 to paragraphs (b)(9) and (10): A report containing
estimates of the quantity, grade, or metal or mineral content of a
deposit or exploration results that a registrant has not verified as a
current mineral resource, mineral reserve, or exploration results, and
which was prepared before the registrant acquired, or entered into an
agreement to acquire, an interest in the property that contains the
deposit, is not considered current and cannot be filed in support of
disclosure.

Sec.  229.1305  (Item 1305) Internal controls disclosure.

    Describe the internal controls that the registrant uses in its
exploration and mineral resource and reserve estimation efforts. This
disclosure should include quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA)
programs, verification of analytical procedures, and a discussion of
comprehensive risk inherent in the estimation.
    Instruction to Item 1305: A registrant must provide the internal
controls disclosure required by this section whether it is providing
the disclosure under Sec.  229.1303, Sec.  229.1304, or under both
sections.

SUBJECT:	Notes from State Technical Workgroup Meeting (20 February 2014) [DCN 0131]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

      This was the fourth meeting for the EPA-state technical workgroup, which is discussing key issues related to the proposed NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule (eRule). These discussions will help inform the upcoming planned supplemental Federal Register notice and will continue beyond the supplemental notice to help EPA address state comments. EPA participants will include the OECA eRule Team as well as representatives from EPA's Office of Water and Office of Environmental Information. Technical workgroup members are listed below in Tables 1 and 2. The agenda for this meeting is also provided below. EPA is summarizing the notes from these discussions for the docket in order to provide transparency on EPA's outreach during the rulemaking process. The OECA eRule team will also be available for any other stakeholder group that would like to discuss the eRule.

Meeting Notes

     EPA (Carey Johnston) started the meeting with a roll call and solicited comments on the draft notes from the previous meeting. New Jersey made one comment on the draft meeting notes and Florida noted that they should be listed as present on the last call. EPA incorporated both comments in the meeting notes.

     Mr. Johnston provided an overview of the schedule for the supplemental notice. He noted that EPA plans to send the notice to OMB in mid-March. OMB has requested a 90-day review for this supplemental notice. EPA hopes to have the supplemental notice published in July. Publication of the supplemental notice will also start a 30-day public comment period. Mr. Johnston then led the technical workgroup in a discussion on the economic analysis supporting the eRule.

         *       New Jersey (Jason Lonardo) stated that the benefits for the eRule will be overestimated if a state cannot comply with the implementation deadlines. Mr. Londardo noted that EPA should include a factor in the economic analysis (EA) to reflect the fact that some states may not meet the eRule implementation deadlines.

         *       ACWA (Sean Rolland) asked if EPA could describe the data it needs to refine its EA. He suggested that EPA create a spreadsheet template for states so that they know what data to share wih EPA. Mr. Johnston noted that EPA cannot survey all NPDES authorized programs without an OMB approved Information Collection Request (in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act). He noted that EPA will provide a spreadsheet template to ECOS and ACWA in order to provide clarity on the data EPA can use to refine the eRule economic analysis.

         *       New York asked about how the eRule accounts for state implementation costs associated with electronic reporting tools developed by states. Mr. Johnston noted that the rule includes costs for states to use EPA electronic reporting tools but does not include the costs states incur when they develop their own electronic reporting tools. Mr. Johnston noted that the EPA is making its electronic reporting tools (NetDMR and NeT) available to states with no licensing costs or purchase costs and is bearing the costs of the enhancement and development work for these tools. These tools will be able to meet the requirements of the eRule and be flexible enough to accommodate the varying ways in which states electronically collect and manage their NPDES program data.

         *       ACWA (Sean Rolland) noted that there should be some factor in the eRule EA to account for the possibility that some states won't be able to meet their NPDES program responsibilities with EPA's electronic reporting tools and will need to develop their own electronic reporting tools. Mr. Rolland noted that some states may need to use their own electronic reporting tools as these tools electronically collect data for their NPDES program and other state regulatory programs. Mr. Johnston suggested that states might be able to provide comment on the supplemental notice detailing the potential limitations of EPA's electronic reporting tools.

         *       Indiana (Tom Easterly) asked for more details on EPA's electronic reporting tools. Mr. Johnston provided a very quick overview of EPA's CROMERR approved electronic reporting tools: NetDMR (http://www.epa.gov/netdmr/) and NeT. Several states noted that they were familiar with NetDMR since it has been in production since 2009 and has been deployed to a number of states; however, they were unfamiliar with the newer electronic reporting tool (NeT), which EPA intends to use for general permit reports (e.g., NOIs) and program reports (e.g., CAFO annual report, biosolids annual report). Mr. Johnston noted that EPA would set up a demo of NeT for the state technical workgroup and other states in a future meeting.

      Mr. Carey Johnston then led the technical workgroup in a discussion on the stormwater sector for the eRule.

         *       Several states noted that it would be very difficult to successfully implement a requirement that small business construction operators seek and obtain a digital signature so that they may use a CROMERR approved electronic reporting tool. These states noted that some small business construction operators only infrequently apply for coverage under a construction stormwater general permit and may be unclear on how to get a digital signature.

         *       Mr. Johnston solicited comment from the states on the suggestion from North Dakota to use automatic identification and data capture technology (e.g., two dimensional barcodes, optical character recognition) for NPDES sectors, like the construction stormwater sector, to reporting their NPDES program data. This option potentially addresses the issue of how to get a large and diverse group of small business construction operators to electronically report NOIs and low erosivity waivers (LEWs). This option would allow NPDES regulated entities to report their data on paper; however, these submissions would be signed with a wet-ink signature and could be easily scanned into an electronic database. Indiana (Tom Easterly) noted that he doesn't see a problem with EPA giving states the option of using this technology. However, he noted that EPA should include the costs of implementing this technology in the economic analysis.

         *       Virginia (Jerome Brooks) asked how long states would need to retain the wet-ink signatures on these paper submissions. Mr. Johnston replied that depends on the specific recordkeeping requirement in EPA's existing regulations and that record-keeping costs associated with automatic identification and data capture technology option would not be a new incremental compliance cost for the eRule. He noted that EPA would investigate the typical costs associated with the application of this technology and evaluate its potential use for the construction stormwater sector.

         *       Washington State (Nancy Kmet) also noted a problem in getting construction operators to comply with their construction stormwater general permit. She noted that there are 2,000 construction operators regulated by their construction stormwater general permit but that only two-thirds of these NPDES regulated entities submit DMRs as required by the permit. Ms. Kmet suggested that they have a real problem in getting any information from the one-third of the 2,000 construction operators regulated by their construction stormwater general permit.

         *       Indiana (Tom Easterly) questioned why there needs to be a digital signature with a CROMERR compliant tool for the construction stormwater sector. He noted that the violation they most often enforce is non-submittal of the required forms (e.g., NOIs) and not the information construction operators submit on these forms. Florida suggested that EPA remove the construction stormwater sector from the eRule. Colorado also suggested that the benefits from converting the construction stormwater sector to electronic reporting would be smaller than other NPDES sectors. Mr. Dombrowksi noted that this is a large portion of the NPDES universe (by number of regulated entities) and that EPA does not have good information on the location and controls on large construction projects regulated by NPDES permits.

         *       ECOS (Beth Graves) suggested that EPA consider extending the schedule for the construction stormwater sector by creating a new implementation phase ("Phase 3").

         *       With respect to the MS4 program reports several states noted that it may be difficult to standardize these reports as there are many different BMPs that municipalities can use to comply with their permits. Mr. Johnston noted that EPA's Region 1 is planning on using drop downs lists and categories of BMPs to facility electronic reporting. He also noted that EPA's NeT will be capable of electronically collecting data for state requirements (non-Appendix A data).

         *       Washington state asked if NeT will allow users to upload PDFs. Mr. Johnston noted that NeT does have the capability of allowing users to upload PDFs as part of the electronic submission. Mr. Dombrowski noted that EPA is focused on getting structured data shared between EPA and the states and that ICIS-NPDES will not be storing PDF data.

      Mr. Carey Johnston then led the technical workgroup in a discussion on the CAFO sector.

         *       Indiana (Tom Easterly) noted that there are 600 farms in Indiana that fit the CAFO size definition but that only 10 have NPDES permits. Indiana periodically inspects all large farms in its state (about 1,900 farms) but doesn't share the inspection data with EPA.

         *       Texas agreed with the comments submitted by the agricultural sector on the proposed rule. In particular, Texas was worried about the potential release of personal identifiable information that might be part of NPDES permit applications, NOIs, or annual reports. Texas noted that one difference between a CAFO and a traditional point source (e.g., POTW, industrial facility) is that families live on location of the NPDES regulate entity.

         *       Mr. Dombrowski noted that EPA is currently collecting and displaying permitted CAFO information to the public and that the eRule would simply make reporting more efficient so that more of this information could be available.

Next Steps

      EPA agreed to summarize the meeting notes as well as summarize and compile a few examples of public comments on a topic schedule for discussion. EPA will share these materials with the technical workgroup in advance of the next weekly meeting. The next meeting will focus on the CAFO sector, overview of Appendix A, and schedule for the supplemental notice and rulemaking.

Quick Reminder
   *    The technical workgroup is not a formal decision-making body. The workgroup is expected to develop, research, and evaluate options for consideration by EPA and state senior management.

   *    There are no formal quorum rules for the workgroup. Scheduled teleconferences will proceed with whichever workgroup members call in to participate.

   *    There will be no formal voting or consensus of the workgroup. Instead, the workgroup is expected to try to develop recommendations reflecting their various perspectives, not achieve consensus.

   *    Summaries of the workgroup's discussions will be prepared for and reviewed by the workgroup, for presentation to EPA senior management and other states and the rulemaking record. The discussions summaries will outline the major elements of the discussions, areas of agreement and any dissenting views.

Subject: Waiver of FIFRA Review of Final Rule In the interest of achieving the objective of signing the final rule on the use of human subjects in testing by January 29th, USDA waives the statutory review under FIFRA of the forthcoming final rule draft. We look forward to working with the Agency during the Office of Management and Budget Interagency review process to resolve any potential differences in the final rule draft, including the creation of a Human Subjects Review Board ( HSRB) that would be subject to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committees Act ( FACA) as inferred by the January 3, 2006 Federal Register Notice soliciting potential nominations for an HSRB ( FR Doc. E5 8220 Filed 12 30 05). Please contact me if you have any questions.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30825; Amdt. No. 3463]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective February 6, 2012. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of February 6, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;

City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference in the amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and
Sec.  97.20 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAP and the corresponding effective dates. This
amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure
and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP as amended in the transmittal. For safety and
timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only
specific changes contained for each SIAP as modified by FDC/P-NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P-NOTAM, and contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to
SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts. The circumstances which created the need for all
these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less than 30
days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs
and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure
before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and contrary to the
public interest and, where applicable, that good cause exists for
making these SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    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.
It, therefore--(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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
