SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 15, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to modify 

controlled airspace at Miles City, MT 

(76 FR 41725). 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 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9V 

dated August 9, 2011, and effective 

September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying Class E surface airspace, and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface, at Frank 

Wiley Field, Miles City, MT, to 

accommodate IFR aircraft executing 

new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. This 

action also adjusts the geographic 

coordinates for Frank Wiley Field to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. This action is necessary for 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 

discusses 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 modifies 

controlled airspace at Frank Wiley 

Field, Miles City, MT.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final 

rule published on August 22, 2011 (76 

FR 52231). In that final rule the FAA 

prohibited any person holding a 

certificate from knowingly employing, 

or making a contractual arrangement 

with, certain individuals to act as an 

agent or a representative of the 

certificate holder in any matter before 

the FAA under certain conditions. This 

document corrects an amendment

Background 

On August 22, 2011, the FAA 

published a final rule entitled 

‘‘Restrictions on Operators Employing 

Former Flight Standards Service 

Aviation Safety Inspectors’’ (76 FR 

52231). 

In that final rule the FAA prohibited 

any person holding a certificate from 

knowingly employing, or making a 

contractual arrangement with, certain 

individuals to act as an agent or a 

representative of the certificate holder 

in any matter before the FAA under 

certain conditions. These restrictions 

apply if the individual, in the preceding 

2 year period directly served as, or was 

directly responsible for the oversight of, 

a Flight Standards Service Aviation 

Safety Inspector, and had direct 

responsibility to inspect, or oversee the 

inspection of, the operations of the 

certificate holder. This rule also applies 

to persons who own or manage 

fractional ownership program aircraft 

that are used to conduct operations
