14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2009–0229; Airspace 

Docket No. 09–ASO–13] 

Revocation of VOR Federal Airway 

V–329; Alabama-Florida 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action removes very high 

frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) 

Federal airway V–329, which extends 

between Montgomery, AL and the 

vicinity of Crestview, FL. The route is 

being removed at the request of the U.S. 

Army because the Andalusia, AL, VOR, 

which forms a segment of the airway, is 

being decommissioned due to 

unreliability and coverage limitations. 

This action will not adversely impact 

National Airspace System (NAS) 

Operations. 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, 

October 22, 2009. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On April 6, 2009, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to revoke VOR 

Federal airway V–329 (74 FR 15403). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. One comment was received. 

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots 

Association recommended that the FAA 

consider establishing a T-route (i.e., a 

low-altitude area navigation route) along 

the same route as V–329. The FAA 

supports this recommendation and will 

consider establishing a T-route as part of 

the national effort to expand area 

navigation capabilities. 

With the exception of editorial 

changes, this amendment is the same as 

that proposed in the NPRM. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

revoking VOR Federal airway V–329. 

The FAA is taking this action because 

the Andalusia VOR, which is owned 

and operated by the U.S. Army, is being 

decommissioned due to recurring 

outages, maintenance issues, and 

coverage limitations. Decommissioning 

of the Andalusia VOR renders V–329 

unusable. As an alternative, V–115, 

which lies to the west of the V–329, 

extends between the Crestview, FL, and 

the Montgomery, AL, VORTAC. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010 of FAA Order 7400.9S 

signed October 3, 2008 and effective 

October 31, 2008, which is incorporated 

by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR 

Federal airway listed in this document 

will be subsequently deleted from the 

Order. 

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 Department of 

Transportation (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 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
40068 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 11, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

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 I, 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 the 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 a portion of the en route 

structure to enhance the safe and 

efficient use of the NAS in the Southeast 

United States. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a and 311b. This airspace 

action is not expected to cause any 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts, and no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

17 CFR Part 200 

[Release No. 34–60448] 

Delegation of Authority to Director of 

Division of Enforcement 

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Commission is amending 

its rules to delegate authority to the 

Director of the Division of Enforcement 

to issue formal orders of investigation. 

These orders designate the enforcement 

staff authorized to issue subpoenas in 

connection with investigations under 

the federal securities laws. This action 

is intended to expedite the investigative 

process by removing the need for 

enforcement staff to seek Commission 

approval prior to performing routine 

functions. The Commission is adopting 

this delegation for a one-year period, 

and at the end of the period will 

evaluate whether to extend the 

delegation (though any formal orders 

issued during this period will remain in 

effect). 

DATES: Effective Date: August 11, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kenneth H. Hall, 202–551–4936, Office 

of Chief Counsel, Division of 

Enforcement, Securities and Exchange 

Commission, 100 F Street, NE., 

Washington, DC 20549–6553. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission is authorized to conduct 

investigations of possible violations of 

the federal securities laws, which 

provide that ‘‘any member of the 

Commission or any officer designated 

by it is empowered to administer oaths 

and affirmations, subpoena witnesses, 

compel their attendance, take evidence, 

and require the production of any 

books, papers, correspondence, 

memoranda, or other records which the 

Commission deems relevant or material 

to the inquiry.’’ Section 21(b) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 

U.S.C. 78u(b). See also, Section 19(c) of 

the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 

77s(c); Section 42(b) of the Investment 

Company Act of 1940, 15 U.S.C. 80a– 

41(b); and Section 209(b) of the 

Investment Advisers Act of 1940, 15 

U.S.C. 80b–9(b). The Commission issues 

formal orders of investigation that 

authorize specifically designated 

enforcement staff to exercise the 

Commission’s statutory power to 

subpoena witnesses and take the other 

actions authorized by the relevant cited 

provisions. The Commission is 

delegating the authority to issue formal 

orders of investigation to the Director of 

the Division of Enforcement. This 

delegation will expedite the 

investigative process by reducing the 

time and paperwork previously 

associated with obtaining Commission 

authorization prior to issuing 

subpoenas. 

In any case the Division Director 

deems appropriate, the recommendation 

that a formal order be issued may be 

submitted to the Commission for 

review. 

Administrative Law Matters 

The Commission finds, in accordance 

with the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A)), that this 

amendment relates solely to agency 

organization, procedure, or practice. 

Accordingly, the provisions of the APA 

regarding notice of the proposed 

rulemaking and opportunities for public 

participation, 5 U.S.C. 553, are not 

applicable. For the same reason, and 

because this amendment does not 

substantively affect the rights or 

obligations of non-agency parties, the 

provisions of the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act, 5 

U.S.C. 804(3)(C), are not applicable. 

Additionally, the provisions of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, which apply 

only when notice and comment are 

required by the APA or other law, 5 

U.S.C. 603, are not applicable. Section 

23(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act, 

15 U.S.C. 78w, requires the 

Commission, in adopting rules under 

that Act, to consider the anticompetitive 

effects of any rules it adopts. Because 

the amendment imposes no new 

burdens on parties in investigations, the 

Commission does not believe it will 

have any impact on competition. 

Finally, this amendment does not 

contain any collection of information 

requirements as defined by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, as
