SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 10, 2011, the FAA 

published a final rule entitled, 

‘‘Operations Specifications’’ (76 FR 

7482). 

In that final rule the FAA revised its 

regulations to clarify and standardize 

the rules for applications by foreign air 

carriers and foreign persons for part 129 

operations specifications and establish 

new standards for amendment, 

suspension, and termination of those 

operations specifications. As part of the 

amendment, the FAA added new 

§ 129.9(a)(2) and (b)(2) concerning the 

designation of an agent for service. The 

DATES section correctly listed the 

compliance date for § 129.9(a)(2) and 

(b)(2) as February 10, 2012. Section 

129.9(a)(2) and (b)(2) in the regulatory 

text incorrectly stated that the 

compliance date was ‘‘Within 1 year 

after February 10, 2012.’’ 

Correction 

In FR Doc. 2011–2834, beginning on 

page 7484 in the Federal Register of 

February 10, 2011, make the following 

corrections: 

Corrections to Regulatory Text 

§ 129.9 [Corrected] 

1. On page 7489, in the third column, 

in § 129.9(a)(2) and (b)(2), remove the 

words ‘‘February 10, 2012’’ and add in 

their place the words ‘‘February 10, 

2011’’. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on March 15, 

2011.

Director, Office of Rulemaking.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

28 CFR Part 0 

[Tax Division Directive No. 139] 

Redelegation of Authority to 

Compromise and Close Civil Claims 

AGENCY: Department of Justice. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This Tax Division directive 

delegates to a Principal Deputy 

Assistant Attorney General all of the 

Assistant Attorney General’s authority 

to compromise and close civil claims, 

except when such action is opposed by 

the client agency or agencies. This Tax 

Division directive further delegates 

settlement authority of the Chiefs of the 

Civil Trial Sections, the Court of Federal 

Claims Section, the Appellate Section, 

the Office of Review, and the Deputy 

Assistant Attorneys General, to 

compromise and close civil claims. In 

addition, this directive allows 

discretionary redelegation of limited 

authority by a Section Chief to his or her 

Assistant Chiefs and Reviewers. This 

directive supersedes Directive No. 135. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 21, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Deborah Meland, Tax Division, 

Department of Justice, Washington, DC 

20530, (202) 307–6567. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

relates to internal agency management. 

Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, 

notice of proposed rulemaking and 

opportunity for comment are not 

required, and this rule may be made 

effective less than 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register. 

This regulation is not a significant rule 

within the meaning of Executive Order 

13866, as amended, and therefore was 

not reviewed by the Office of 

Management and Budget. This 

regulation does not have an impact on 

small entities and, therefore, is not 

subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

This action pertains to agency 

management, personnel and 

organization and does not substantially 

affect the rights or obligations of nonagency parties and, accordingly, is not 

a ‘‘rule’’ as that term is used by the 

Congressional Review Act (Subtitle E of 

the Small Business Regulatory 

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 

(SBREFA)). Therefore, the reporting 

requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801 does not 

apply.
