Removal of Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 87--
Prohibition Against Certain Flights Within the Territory and Airspace
of Ethiopia

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Immediately adopted final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action removes the prohibition against certain flights
within the territory and airspace of Ethiopia contained in Special
Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 87 from the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). The prohibition only applied to flight operations
within the territory and airspace of Ethiopia north of 12 degrees north
latitude conducted by United States (U.S.) air carriers or commercial
operators; persons exercising the privileges of an airman certificate
issued by the FAA, unless that person was engaged in the operation of a
U.S.-registered aircraft for a foreign air carrier; and operators using
an aircraft registered in the United States, except where the operator
of such aircraft was a foreign air carrier. The FAA has now determined
that the safety and security situation that prompted the above flight
prohibition has significantly improved, and that it is safe for U.S.
civil flights to be operated within the entire territory and airspace
of Ethiopia, subject to the approval of and in accordance with the

conditions established by the appropriate authorities of Ethiopia.

DATES: This final rule is effective on February 4, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Good Cause for Immediate Adoption

    Title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.) Sec.  553(b)(3)(B) authorizes
agencies to dispense with notice and comment procedures for rules when
the agency for ``good cause'' finds that those procedures are
``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' In
this instance, the FAA finds that notice and public comment to this
immediately adopted final rule, as well as any delay in the effective
date of this rule, are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest.
This is a relieving rule; with publication of this final rule, persons
described in paragraph 1 of SFAR No. 87,\1\ who have been prohibited
from flying within the territory and airspace of Ethiopia north of 12
degrees north latitude, will no longer be subject to that prohibition.
The removal of this prohibition will allow such persons to operate
anywhere in the territory and airspace of Ethiopia, subject to the
approval of and in accordance with the conditions established by the
appropriate authorities of Ethiopia. The FAA has determined that the
safety and security situation which prompted the FAA to issue SFAR No.
87 has significantly improved, and that it is safe for flight
operations by persons described in paragraph 1 of SFAR No. 87 to
resume, subject to the approval of and in accordance with the
conditions established by the appropriate authorities of Ethiopia.
Delaying the effective date of this action, which the FAA expects to be
non-controversial, would unnecessarily limit the activities and
economic opportunities of persons described in paragraph 1 of SFAR No.
87, as well as persons to whom they provide service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Paragraph 1 of SFAR No. 87 states:
    ``1. Applicability. This Special Federal Aviation Regulation
(SFAR) No. 87 applies to all U.S. air carriers or commercial
operators, all persons exercising the privileges of an airman
certificate issued by the FAA unless that person is engaged in the
operation of a U.S.-registered aircraft for a foreign air carrier,
and all operators using aircraft registered in the United States
except where the operator of such aircraft is a foreign air
carrier.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA is responsible for the safety of flight in the United
States and for the safety of U.S. civil operators, U.S.-registered
civil aircraft, and U.S.-certificated airmen throughout the world. The
FAA's authority to issue rules on aviation safety is found in title 49,
U.S. Code. Subtitle I, section 106(f) and (g), describe the authority
of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in
more detail the scope of the agency's authority. Section 40101(d)(1)
provides that the Administrator shall consider in the public interest,
among other matters, assigning, maintaining, and enhancing safety and
security as the highest priorities in air commerce. Section
40105(b)(1)(A) requires the Administrator to exercise his authority
consistently with the obligations of the U.S. Government under
international agreements.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, General requirements.
Under that section, the FAA is charged broadly with promoting safe
flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing, among other
things, regulations and minimum standards for practices, methods, and
procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce
and national security. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority, because it removes the prohibition on flight operations in
the territory and airspace of Ethiopia north of 12 degrees north
latitude by persons described in paragraph 1 of SFAR No. 87 on the
basis of the changed safety and security situation, thereby allowing
such persons to operate anywhere in the territory and airspace of
Ethiopia, subject to the approval of and in accordance with the
conditions established by the appropriate authorities of Ethiopia.

I. Overview of Immediately Adopted Final Rule

    This action removes SFAR No. 87 from the CFR. SFAR No. 87
prohibited flight operations within the territory and airspace of
Ethiopia north of 12 degrees north latitude by the persons described in
paragraph 1 of the rule. SFAR No. 87 imposed no restrictions on
operations in the territory and airspace of Ethiopia south of 12
degrees north latitude. The FAA has determined that the safety and
security situation that prompted the FAA to issue SFAR No. 87 has
significantly improved, and that it is safe for flights by persons
described in paragraph 1 of the rule to resume, subject to the approval
of and in accordance with the conditions established by the appropriate
authorities of Ethiopia. The FAA finds this action necessary to allow
persons described in paragraph 1 of SFAR No. 87 to perform flight
operations within the territory and airspace of Ethiopia north of 12
degrees north latitude.

II. Background

    The FAA issued SFAR No. 87 on May 12, 2000 (published May 16, 2000,
at 65 FR 31214), due to concerns regarding potential hazards to U.S.
civil flight operations within the territory and airspace of Ethiopia
north of 12 degrees north latitude. In 1998, a military conflict had
erupted between Ethiopia and Eritrea over the exact demarcation of the
border between the two countries. On April 30, 2000, peace talks
between Ethiopia and Eritrea failed, and the border dispute again
escalated to the point where open hostilities began. Armed forces of
both countries, which included modern surface-to-air missile systems
and interceptor aircraft capable of engaging aircraft at cruising
altitudes, were engaged in hostilities near their common border. The
FAA was concerned that civil aircraft operating in the region could be
threatened by the conflict.
    Even in the event of a cease-fire, the FAA was concerned that the
heightened state of readiness maintained by the military forces of
Ethiopia posed an imminent threat to civil aircraft operations in the
area. Prior to their May 2000 mobilization, Ethiopian air defense
forces had maintained an already high state of readiness during a prior
cease-fire that threatened civil aircraft operating in the northern
portion of Ethiopia. The August 29, 1999, downing by Ethiopian military
forces of a U.S.-registered Learjet operating in the area, which they
had mistaken for an Eritrean reconnaissance aircraft, was evidence of
the seriousness of the threat. When it issued SFAR No. 87, the FAA
observed that Ethiopia had issued temporary Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs)
closing certain routes in the Addis Ababa Flight Information Region.
However, the FAA noted that neither the Ethiopian civil aviation
authority nor the Ethiopian military had issued formal warnings by
NOTAM, in the Ethiopian Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), or
in

some other forum, of the potentially catastrophic consequences of
flying on routes temporarily removed from service. Further, the
Government of Ethiopia had rejected the FAA's recommendation to
establish a true ``no fly'' or ``danger'' zone. The FAA also could not
assure that an adequate level of coordination existed between civil air
traffic authorities and air defense commanders for civil aircraft
overflight, including military rules of engagement, in the event an
aircraft strayed from its assigned route of flight. Any lack of
coordination could have put aircraft operating over northern Ethiopia
at risk of being misidentified by military forces as a threat. Finally,
there was no assurance that Ethiopia would follow international
standards and recommended practices for the interception and
identification of unidentified aircraft in its airspace.
    The operational environment for U.S. civil aviation in the area of
Ethiopia to which SFAR No. 87 applied has changed significantly since
May 2000, which is when the last major military conflict between
Ethiopia and Eritrea took place. The following month, the two countries
signed a cessation of hostilities agreement. While there are continuing
tensions which have led to periodic exchanges of military weapons fire
across the Ethiopia-Eritrea border, there have been no further air
defense engagements against aircraft. In addition, the Ethiopian
government closed certain air routes that cross the border between
Ethiopia and Eritrea, and restricted other routes from use by
overflying international flights. Ethiopia also closed a portion of an
air route running near the border within Ethiopian airspace.
    On September 20, 2013, the FAA received a petition for exemption
from SFAR No. 87 from Mente, LLC (FAA Docket No. FAA-2013-0839). The
FAA requested additional information, and Mente submitted it on
November 25, 2013. Mente voluntarily submitted further information on
May 20, 2014. The petition requested that the FAA allow Mente to
operate flights within the territory and airspace of Ethiopia north of
12 degrees north latitude in support of the philanthropic activities of
a U.S. charitable foundation. In part due to the FAA's recognition of
the changed operational environment for U.S. civil aviation in northern
Ethiopia, on July 8, 2014, the FAA granted Mente's petition for
exemption.
    On the basis of the above information, the FAA believes that the
persons described in paragraph 1 of SFAR No. 87 may now operate safely
in the territory and airspace of Ethiopia north of 12 degrees north
latitude, subject to the approval of and in accordance with the
conditions established by the appropriate authorities of Ethiopia. By
this final rule, SFAR No. 87 is removed from title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, part 91.

III. Regulatory Evaluation, Regulatory Flexibility Determination,
International Trade Impact Assessment, and Unfunded Mandates Assessment

    Changes to Federal regulations must undergo several economic
analyses. First, Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563 direct
that each Federal agency shall propose or adopt a regulation only upon
a reasoned determination that the benefits of the intended regulation
justify its costs. Second, the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (Pub.
L. 96-354), as codified in 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., requires agencies to
analyze the economic impact of regulatory changes on small entities.
Third, the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-39) (19 U.S.C.
Chapter 13), prohibits agencies from setting standards that create
unnecessary obstacles to the foreign commerce of the United States. In
developing U.S. standards, the Trade Agreements Act requires agencies
to consider international standards and, where appropriate, that they
be the basis of U.S. standards. Fourth, the Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4), requires agencies to prepare a written
assessment of the costs, benefits, and other effects of proposed or
final rules that include a Federal mandate likely to result in the
expenditure by State, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate,
or by the private sector, of $100 million or more annually (adjusted
for inflation with base year of 1995). This portion of the preamble
summarizes the FAA's analysis of the economic impacts of this final
rule.
    Department of Transportation Order (DOT) 2100.5 prescribes policies
and procedures for simplification, analysis, and review of regulations.
If the expected cost impact is so minimal that a proposed or final rule
does not warrant a full evaluation, this order permits a statement to
that effect and the basis for it to be included in the preamble if a
full regulatory evaluation of the cost and benefits is not prepared.
Such a determination has been made for this final rule. The reasoning
for this determination follows:
    Flight operations in the territory and airspace of Ethiopia north
of 12 degrees north latitude by persons described in paragraph 1 of
SFAR No. 87 were prohibited because of the threat posed to U.S. civil
aviation by the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, as well as the
heightened state of readiness maintained by the military forces of
Ethiopia and the lack of adequate public warnings to civil aviation by
the Government of Ethiopia. As described in the Background section of
this final rule, the operational environment for U.S. civil aviation in
Ethiopia north of 12 degrees north latitude has changed significantly
since May 2000, and the FAA believes that persons previously prohibited
from operating in that area may now operate safely there, subject to
the approval of and in accordance with the conditions established by
the appropriate authorities of Ethiopia. The removal of SFAR No. 87
will eliminate the need to fly around the entire area of northern
Ethiopia to which the rule applied and to avoid operations in that area
even where such operations are permitted by the appropriate authorities
of Ethiopia. Accordingly, this rule is cost relieving and, therefore,
cost beneficial.
    In conducting these analyses, FAA has determined that this final
rule is not a ``significant regulatory action,'' as defined in section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866. The rule is also not ``significant'' as
defined in DOT's Regulatory Policies and Procedures. The final rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities, will not create unnecessary obstacles to international
trade and will not impose an unfunded mandate on state, local, or
tribal governments, or on the private sector.

A. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-354, ``RFA''), 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq., establishes ``as a principle of regulatory issuance
that agencies shall endeavor, consistent with the objectives of the
rule and of applicable statutes, to fit regulatory and informational
requirements to the scale of the businesses, organizations, and
governmental jurisdictions subject to regulation. To achieve this
principle, agencies are required to solicit and consider flexible
regulatory proposals and to explain the rationale for their actions to
assure that such proposals are given serious consideration.'' The RFA
covers a wide-range of small entities, including small businesses, not-
for-profit organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    Agencies must perform a review to determine whether a rule will
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. If the agency determines that it will, the agency must
prepare a regulatory

flexibility analysis as described in the RFA.
    However, if an agency determines that a rule is not expected to
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities, Sec.  605(b) of the RFA provides that the head of the agency
may so certify and a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
The certification must include a statement providing the factual basis
for this determination, and the reasoning should be clear.
    This rule is cost relieving because it allows more direct flights,
which reduces fuel costs. Therefore, as provided in Sec.  605(b), the
head of the FAA certifies that this rulemaking will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

B. International Trade Impact Assessment

    The Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-39, 19 U.S.C. Chapter
13), as amended, prohibits Federal agencies from establishing standards
or engaging in related activities that create unnecessary obstacles to
the foreign commerce of the United States. Pursuant to this Act, the
establishment of standards is not considered an unnecessary obstacle to
the foreign commerce of the United States, so long as the standard has
a legitimate domestic objective, such as the protection of safety, and
does not operate in a manner that excludes imports that meet this
objective. The statute also requires consideration of international
standards and, where appropriate, that they be the basis for U.S.
standards.
    The FAA has assessed the potential effect of this final rule and
determined that it will remove a prohibition on flight operations
within the territory and airspace of Ethiopia north of 12 degrees north
latitude. This action does not impose any new regulatory requirements.
Therefore, the rule creates no obstacles to the foreign commerce of the
United States and is in compliance with the Trade Agreements Act.

C. Unfunded Mandates Assessment

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-
4) requires each Federal agency to prepare a written statement
assessing the effects of any Federal mandate in a proposed or final
agency rule that may result in an expenditure of $100 million or more
(in 1995 dollars) in any one year by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector; such a mandate
is deemed to be a ``significant regulatory action.'' The FAA currently
uses an inflation-adjusted value of $151.0 million in lieu of $100
million. This final rule does not contain such a mandate; therefore,
the requirements of Title II of the Act do not apply.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.) requires that the FAA consider the impact of paperwork and
other information collection burdens imposed on the public. The FAA has
determined that there is no new requirement for information collection
associated with this immediately adopted final rule.

E. International Compatibility and Cooperation

    In keeping with U.S. obligations under the Convention on
International Civil Aviation (the ``Chicago Convention''), it is FAA
policy to conform to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
Standards and Recommended Practices to the maximum extent practicable.
The FAA has determined that there are no ICAO Standards and Recommended
Practices that correspond to this proposed regulation.

F. Environmental Analysis

    FAA Order 1050.1E identifies FAA actions that are categorically
excluded from preparation of an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy
Act (``NEPA'') (Pub. L. 91-190, 42 U.S.C. Chapter 55) in the absence of
extraordinary circumstances. The FAA has reviewed the removal of SFAR
No. 87 and determined that this action is categorically excluded from
further environmental review according to FAA Order 1050.1E,
``Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,'' paragraph 312(f).
The FAA has examined possible extraordinary circumstances and
determined that no such circumstances exist. After careful and thorough
consideration of the proposed action, the FAA finds that the proposed
Federal action does not require preparation of an EA or EIS in
accordance with the requirements of NEPA, Council on Environmental
Quality regulations, and FAA Order 1050.1E.

IV. Executive Order Determinations

A. Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    The FAA has analyzed this immediately adopted final rule under the
principles and criteria of Executive Order 13132, Federalism. The
agency has determined that this action will not have a substantial
direct effect on the States, or the relationship between the Federal
Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government, and,
therefore, does not have Federalism implications.

B. Executive Order 13211, Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    The FAA analyzed this immediately adopted final rule under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations that
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (May 18,
2001). The agency has determined that this rule is not a ``significant
energy action'' under the executive order, and it is not likely to have
a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy.

C. Executive Order 13609, Promoting International Regulatory
Cooperation

    Executive Order 13609, Promoting International Regulatory
Cooperation, (77 FR 26413, May 4, 2012) promotes international
regulatory cooperation to meet shared challenges involving health,
safety, labor, security, environmental, and other issues and to reduce,
eliminate, or prevent unnecessary differences in regulatory
requirements. The FAA has analyzed this action under the policies and
agency responsibilities of Executive Order 13609, and has determined
that this action would have no effect on international regulatory
cooperation.

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On August 28, 2013, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Drawbridge Operation Regulations Passaic River in the
Federal Register (78 FR 53107). We received no comments on the proposed
rule. No public meeting was requested, and none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The Route 1 & 9 (Lincoln Highway) Bridge at mile 1.8, across the
Passaic River between Kearny and Newark, New Jersey, has a vertical
clearance of 40 feet at mean high water and 45 feet at mean low water.
The drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.739(b).
    The waterway users are predominantly recreational vessels and
commercial vessels.
    The owner of the bridge, New Jersey Department of Transportation,
submitted a request to the Coast Guard to temporarily change the
drawbridge operating regulations.
    The purpose of this temporary final rule is to help provide relief
to help reduce vehicular traffic congestion during the morning and
afternoon vehicular rush hour periods due to local construction
detours. Additional vehicular traffic will be detoured across the Route
1 & 9 (Lincoln Highway) Bridges for two years from the adjacent Pulaski
Skyway Bridge which will be under construction to replace its deck
commencing on March 1, 2014 and continuing through March 1, 2016.
    The existing regulations presently require the bridge to open on
signal at all times provided a four hour advance notice is given.
    Under this temporary final rule the draw shall open on signal
provided a four hour advance notice is given; except that, the draw
need not open for the passage of vessel traffic between 6 a.m. and 10
a.m. and 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
    Tide dependent deep draft vessels may request bridge openings
during the two rush hour closed periods provided at least a twelve hour
advance notice is given.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard received no comments in response to the notice of
proposed rulemaking. As a result, no changes have been made to this
final rule.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. We believe that this rule is not a
significant regulatory action because the bridge provides adequate
clearance for recreational vessels in the closed position and the
commercial vessels will be able to get openings at any time provided
the advance notice is given by calling the number posted at the bridge.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The Coast Guard
received no comments from the Small Business Administration on this
rule. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This rule should not have a significant effect on small entities
since the bridges provide 40 feet of vertical clearance at mean high
water which should accommodate most recreational vessels that transit
this waterway. Deep draft commercial vessels can transit during the two
rush hour closure periods provided they give the twelve hour advance
notice for openings.
    There is no permanent restriction or regulation being imposed by
this rule; therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b)
that this temporary final rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this temporary final rule, if the rule would
affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction
and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT, above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
order 13211, Actions Concerns Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,

which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
concluded that this action is one of a category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves operating the bridge from a remote
location. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.

being placed on a mailing list for future NPRM's should contact the
FAA's Office of Rulemaking,<PHONE_NUMBER>, to request a copy of
Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR Part 71), which would revise the Class E airspace
at the Bettles Airport, in Bettles, AK. The intended effect of this
proposal is to revise Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200
ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations at the Bettles Airport, Bettles, AK.
    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance
Branch has developed two SIAPs and amended two SIAPs along with a DP
for the Bettles Airport. The new approaches are (1) the Area Navigation
(RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 01, Original (Orig)
and (2) the RNAV (GPS) RWY 19, 0rig. The amended approaches are (1) the
Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range (VOR)/Distance Measuring
Equipment (DME) RWY 03, Amendment (Amdt) 5, (2) the Localizer (LOC)/DME
RWY 21, Amdt 1. Textual DP's are unnamed and are published in the front
of the U.S. Terminal Procedures for Alaska. Class E controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface in the
Bettles Airport area would be revised by this action. The proposed
airspace is sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing the
instrument procedures at the Bettles Airport, Bettles, AK.
    The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot
reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as surface
areas are published in paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9R, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 2007, and
effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 foot
transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9R,
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 2007, and
effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
would be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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. 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 United States 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 1, Section 40103, Sovereignty and use of
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because
it proposes to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain
aircraft executing instrument procedures at the Bettles Airport, AK,
and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently
use the navigable airspace.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP06-422-000]

Cameron LNG L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed Cameron Terminal Expansion Project

November 17, 2006.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission
or FERC) has prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
construction and operation of the expansion of the Cameron liquified
natural gas (LNG) import terminal (referred to as the Terminal
Expansion Project) as proposed by Cameron LNG L.L.C. (Cameron) in the
above-referenced docket.
    The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of the
proposed Terminal Expansion Project, with appropriate mitigating
measures as recommended, would not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA
evaluates alternatives to the proposal, including the no-action
alternative.
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) and the U.S. Coast Guard
(Coast Guard) are participating as cooperating agencies in the
preparation of the EA. The COE would require permits pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 United States Code (U.S.C.)
1344) and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 U.S.C. 403). The
COE would adopt the EA per Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
Sec.  1506.3 if, after an independent review of the document, it
concludes that its comments and suggestions have been satisfied. The
Coast Guard is responsible for maintining the safety and security of
port areas and navigable waterways.
    The EA addresses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the proposed Terminal Expansion Project
in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, including the construction of:
     An LNG storage tank and associated systems;
     Vaporizers and associated systems; and
     One construction dock.
    These facilities would be additional to the previously certificated
Cameron LNG Terminal (Docket No. CP02-378-000). Construction of the
proposed facilities for the Terminal Expansion Project would be within
Cameron LNG's import, storage, and vaporization terminal site (located
about 2.25 miles north of Hackberry, Louisiana).
    The purpose of the Terminal Expansion Project is to: Provide the
facilities necessary for Cameron to deliver up to 1.15 billion standard
cubic feet per day of additional natural gas for domestic consumption;
accommodate short term demand fluctuations with the addition of an LNG
storage tank; provide a technological alternative for ensuring that
sendout gas from different LNG sources can be processed to meet uniform
pipeline quality gas specifications; and allow the simultaneous
berthing and unloading of two ships, increasing the number of ships
that could be handled and the volume of LNG that could be offloaded
over any given time.
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC. A limited
number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public
inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference
Room, 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-
8371.
    In addition, copies of the EA have been mailed to federal, state,
and local government agencies; elected officials; Native American
tribes; local libraries and newspapers; intervenors in the FERC's
proceeding; and affected landowners and individuals.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. To ensure
consideration prior to a Commission decision on the proposal, it is
important that we receive your comments before the date specified
below. Please carefully follow these instructions to ensure that your
comments are received in time and properly recorded:
     Send an original and two copies of your comments to:

Spring, MD 20993-0002<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Electronic Submission of Medical Device Registration and Listing--21
CFR Part 807, Subparts A Through E; OMB Control Number 0910-0625--
Extension

    Under section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360) and part 807, subparts A through D (21 CFR
part 807, subparts A through D), medical device establishment owners
and operators are required to electronically submit establishment
registration and device listing information.
    Complete and accurate registration and listing information is
necessary to accomplish a number of statutory and regulatory
objectives, such as: (1) Identification of establishments producing
marketed medical devices, (2) identification of establishments
producing a specific device when that device is in short supply or is
needed for national emergency, (3) facilitation of recalls for devices
marketed by owners and operators of device establishments, (4)
identification and cataloguing of marketed devices, (5) administering
postmarketing surveillance programs for devices, (6) identification of
devices marketed in violation of the law, (7) identification and
control of devices imported into the country from foreign
establishments, (8) and scheduling and planning inspections of
registered establishments under section 704 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
374)
    Respondents to this information collection are owners or operators
of establishments that engage in the manufacturing, preparation,
propagation, compounding, or processing of a device or devices, who
must register their establishments and submit listing information for
each of their devices in commercial distribution. Notwithstanding
certain exceptions, foreign device establishments that manufacture,
prepare, propagate, compound, or process a device that is imported or
offered for import into the United States must also comply with the
registration and listing requirements. The number of respondents is
based on data from the FDA Unified Registration and Listing System.
    Burden estimates are based on recent experience with the existing
medical device registration and listing program, electronic system
operating experience, and the economic analysis for the final

rule entitled ``Implementation of Device Registration and Listing
Requirements Enacted in the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism
Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, the Medical Device User Fee and
Modernization Act of 2002, and Title II of the Food and Drug
Administration Amendments Act of 2007.''
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule
Change To Modify Phlx Options 8, Section 26, ``Trading Halts, Business
Continuity and Disaster Recovery''

February 26, 2021.
    On January 7, 2021, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''),
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to
modify Phlx Options 8, Section 26 (Trading Halts, Business Continuity
and Disaster Recovery) to make available an audio and video
communication program to serve as a ``virtual trading crowd'' in the
event the physical trading floor becomes unavailable, the back-up
trading floor becomes inoperable or the Exchange otherwise determines
not to operate its back-up trading floor. The proposed rule change was
published in the Federal Register on January 14, 2021.\3\

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \4\ provides that, within 45 days of
the publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or
within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate
if it finds such longer period

to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding, or as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission shall
either approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule
change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved. The 45th day after publication of the
notice for this proposed rule change is February 28, 2021. The
Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change. Accordingly, the
Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\5\ designates
April 14, 2021, as the date by which the Commission shall either
approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to
disapprove, the proposed rule change (File No. SR-Phlx-2021-03).
