26788 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 90 / Tuesday, May 9, 2000 / Proposed Rules

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

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 ‘‘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 smaller titles

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to

amend Class E airspace at Tullahoma,

TN. A GPS SIAP, helicopter point in

space approach, has been developed for

Manchester Medical Center,

Manchester, TN. Additional controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL is needed to accommodate the

SIAP. Class E airspace designations for

airspace areas extending upward from

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 90 / Tuesday, May 9, 2000 / Proposed Rules 26789

1Multiplying (A) the rehearing range in the

current D.C. guidelines by (B) [the Base Point Score

minus 3 points] (the number of rehearing required

before parole assuming no disciplinary infractions

and ordinary program achievement) produces the

Base Point Range. For example, an inmate with a

Base Point Score of 6 with no disciplinary

infractions and ordinary program achievement at

each hearing would have two rehearings with a

rehearing range of 18–24 months each before the

guidelines indicated parole. This translates to a

guideline range of the Parole Eligibility Date plus

36–48 months. For most cases, the results under the

current and proposes system will be the same.

Continued

700 feet or more above the surface are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9G, dated September 1,

1999, an effective September 16, 1999,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation 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.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–M

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Parole Commission

28 CFR Part 2

Paroling, Recommitting, and

Supervising Federal Prisoners:

Prisoners Serving Sentences Under

the District of Columbia Code

AGENCY: United States Parole

Commission, Justice.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Parole Commission

is soliciting public comment on a

proposal to revise the guidelines at 28

CFR 2.80 that govern its decisions to

grant and deny parole in the case of

prisoners serving sentences for felony

crimes under the District of Columbia

Code. The proposal would translate the

current Point Assignment Table at § 2.80

into guideline ranges, and would

authorize the setting of presumptive

release dates up to 36 months from the

date of the parole hearing. The purpose

of this proposal is to improve

understanding by inmates and the

public as to the impact that the

guidelines will have in individual cases,

and to facilitate successful release

planning in advance of parole.

DATES: Comments must be received by

July 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Office of

General Counsel, U.S. Parole

Commission, 5550 Friendship Blvd.,

Chevy Chase, MD 20815.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Pamela A. Posch, Office of General

Counsel, U.S. Parole Commission, 5550

Friendship Blvd., Chevy Chase,

Maryland 20815, telephone (301) 492–

5959.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission solicits comment on a

revision of 28 CFR 2.80 that it believes

would make the guidelines for D.C.

Code offenders more understandable to

inmates and the public, fairer, and

easier to administer. The proposal

would: (1) Enhance the ability of

inmates and the public, including

victims of crime, to understand the

guidelines and their impact in

individual cases by translating the

current point score into a guideline

range at the initial and subsequent

considerations; (2) provide more

information to inmates as to their

expected release dates by authorizing

presumptive release dates up to 36

months from the date of the parole

hearing (contingent upon good conduct

and development of an adequate release

plan); (3) facilitate release planning by

setting presumptive release dates up to

36 months from the date of the parole

hearing; (4) eliminate anomalies that

occur in the current system with respect

to penalizing inmates whose rehearings

are delayed through no fault of their

own or who are encouraged by staff to

waive parole consideration until they

complete institutional programs; and (5)

reduce the maximum time between

parole consideration hearings from five

years to three years.

Summary of the Proposal

The proposed revision of § 2.80 would

require the following decisionmaking

procedure.

Under Step 1A, a Base Guideline

Range would be determined from the

Base Point Score. There is no change

from the Base Point Score used in

§ 2.80. The Base Point Range (assuming

no disciplinary infractions and ordinary

program achievement) is simply made

explicit.1
