Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to extend two existing 

VOR Federal airways to the Mexicali, 

Mexico VOR/DME. V–135 would be 

amended by adding a segment between 

the Mexicali VOR/DME and the Bard, 

AZ VORTAC. V–137 would be amended 

by adding a segment between the 

Mexicali VOR/DME and the Imperial, 

CA VORTAC. These amendments would 

benefit cross-border navigation. 

Additionally, fixes would be established 

at the border crossing points to simplify 

air traffic control coordination of flights. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 

7400.9V signed August 9, 2011 and 

effective September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airways 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. 

Therefore, this proposed 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 

so minimal. Since this is a routine 

matter that will only affect air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this proposed 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 modifies the route structure as

required to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (‘‘RFA’’), 

codified at 5 U.S.C. 600–611, requires 

an agency to review its rules that have 

a significant economic impact upon a 

substantial number of small entities 

within ten years of the publication of 

such rules as final rules. 5 U.S.C. 610(a). 

The purpose of the review is ‘‘to 

determine whether such rules should be 

continued without change, or should be 

amended or rescinded * * * to 

minimize any significant economic 

impact of the rules upon a substantial 

number of such small entities.’’ 5 U.S.C. 

610(a). The RFA sets forth specific 

considerations that must be addressed 

in the review of each rule: 

• The continued need for the rule; 

• The nature of complaints or 

comments received concerning the rule 

from the public; 

• The complexity of the rule; 

• The extent to which the rule 

overlaps, duplicates or conflicts with 

other federal rules, and, to the extent 

feasible, with state and local 

governmental rules; and 

• The length of time since the rule 

has been evaluated or the degree to 

which technology, economic conditions, 

or other factors have changed in the area 

affected by the rule. 5 U.S.C. 610(c). 

The Securities and Exchange 

Commission, as a matter of policy, 

reviews all final rules that it published 

for notice and comment and, therefore, 

the list below is broader than that 

required by the RFA, and may include 

rules that do not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Where the 

Commission has previously made a 

determination of a rule’s impact on 

small businesses, the determination is 

noted on the list. The Commission 

particularly solicits public comment on 

whether the rules listed below affect 

small businesses in new or different 

ways than when they were first adopted. 

The rules and forms listed below are 

scheduled for review by staff of the 

Commission during the next twelve 

months. The list includes rules from 

2000. When the Commission 

implemented the Act in 1980, it stated 

that it ‘‘intend[ed] to conduct a broader 

review [than that required by the RFA], 

with a view to identifying those rules in 

need of modification or even 

rescission.’’ Securities Act Release No. 

6302 (Mar. 20, 1981), 46 FR 19251 (Mar. 

30, 1981).
