year election cycle divided by the

number of reports filed covering the

activity in the prior two-year election

cycle.

Level of activity means the total

amount of receipts and disbursements

for the period covered by the late report.

If the report is not filed, the level of

activity is the estimated level of activity.

Number of previous violations mean

all prior final civil money penalties

assessed under this subpart during the

current two-year election cycle and the

prior two-year election cycle.

(e) For purposes of the schedules of

penalties in paragraphs (a) and (b) of

this section,

(1) Reports that are not election

sensitive reports are considered to be

filed late if they are filed after their due

dates but within thirty (30) days of their

due dates. These reports are considered

to be not filed if they are filed after

thirty (30) days of their due dates or not

filed at all.

(2) Election sensitive reports are

considered to be filed late if they are

filed after their due dates but prior to

four (4) days before the primary election

for pre-primary reports, prior to four (4)

days before the special election for prespecial election reports, or prior to four

(4) days before the general election for

all other election sensitive reports.

These reports are considered to be not

filed if they are not filed prior to four

(4) days before the primary election for

pre-primary reports, prior to four (4)

days before the special election for prespecial election reports or prior to four

(4) days before the general election for

all other election sensitive reports.

§ 111.44 What is the schedule of penalties

for 48-hour notices that are not filed or are

filed late?

(a) If the respondent fails to file timely

a notice regarding contribution(s)

received after the 20th day but more

than 48 hours before the election as

required under 2 U.S.C. 434(a)(6), the

civil money penalty will be calculated

as follows:

(1) Civil money penalty = $100 + (.10

× amount of the contribution(s) not

timely reported).

(2) The civil money penalty

calculated in paragraph (a)(1) of this

section shall be increased by twenty-five

percent (25%) for each prior violation.

(b) For purposes of this section, prior

violation means a civil money penalty

that has been assessed against the

respondent under this subpart in the

current two-year election cycle or the

prior two-year election cycle.

§ 111.45 What actions will be taken to

collect unpaid civil money penalties?

The Commission may take any and all

appropriate collection actions

authorized and required by the Debt

Collection Act of 1982, as amended by

the Debt Collection Improvement Act of

1996 (31 U.S.C. 3701 et. seq.). The U.S.

Department of the Treasury regulations

at 31 CFR 285.2, 285.4, and 285.7 and

the Federal Claims Collection Standards

issued jointly by the Department of

Justice and the Government Accounting

Office at 4 CFR parts 101 through 105

also apply.

Special Visual Flight Rules

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of

effective date.

SUMMARY: This action amends the

language regarding aircraft operating in

accordance with Special Visual Flight

Rules (SVFR). Specially, this action will

permit a general aviation pilot at a

satellite airport where weather reporting

is not available, to depart in

meteorological conditions less than

basic Visual Flight Rules (VFR) weather

minimums provided that the pilot

determines that he has the requisite

flight visibility. The FAA is taking this

action to reduce the number of

unnecessary flight delays being faced by

general aviation aircraft while providing

an equivalent level of safety.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The rule is effective on

May 23, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

published this direct final rule with a

request for comments in the Federal

Register on March 24, 2000 (65 FR

16114). The FAA uses the direct final

rulemaking procedure for a noncontroversial rule where the FAA

believes that there will be no adverse

public comment. This direct final rule

advised the public that no adverse

comments were anticipated, and that

unless a written adverse comment, or a

written notice of intent to submit such

an adverse comment, were received

within the comment period, the

regulation would become effective on

May 23, 2000. No adverse comments

were received, and thus this notice

confirms that this final rule will become

effective on that date.

[Docket No. 30042; Amdt. No. 1991]

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes,

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) for operations at certain

airports. These regulatory actions are

needed because of the adoption of new

or revised criteria, or because of changes

occurring in the National Airspace

System, such as the commissioning of

new navigational facilities, addition of

new obstacles, or changes in air traffic

requirements. These changes are

designed to provide safe and efficient

use of the navigable airspace and to

promote safe flight operations under

instrument flight rules at the affected

airports.

DATES: An effective date for each SIAP

is specified in the amendatory

provisions.

Incorporation by reference-approved

by the Director of the Federal Register

on December 31, 1980, and reapproved

as of January 1, 1982.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters

incorporated by reference in the

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revokes Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete

regulatory description of each SIAP is

contained in official FAA form

documents which are incorporated by

reference in this amendment under 5

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and § 97.20

of the Federal Aviatiion Regulations

(FAR). The applicable FAA Forms are

identified as FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–

4, and 8260–5. Materials incorporated

by reference are available for

examination or purchase as stated

above.

The large number of SIAPs, their

complex nature, and the need for a

special format make their verbatim

publication in the Federal Register

expensive and impractical. Further,

airmen do not use the regulatory text of

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic

depiction on charts printed by

publishers of aeronautical materials.

Thus, the advantages of incorporation

by reference are realized and

publication of the complete description

of each SIAP contained in FAA form

documents is unnecessary. The

provisions of this amendment state the

affected CFR (and FAR) sections, with

the types and effective dates of the

SIAPs. This amendment also identifies

the airport, its location, the procedure

identification and the amendment

number.

The Rule

This amendment to part 97 is effective

upon publication of each separate SIAP

as contained in the transmittal. Some

SIAP amendments may have been

previously issued by the FAA in a

National Flight Data Center (NFDC)

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an

emergency action of immediate flight

safety relating directly to published

aeronautical charts. The circumstances

which created the need for some SIAP

amendments may require making them

effective in less than 30 days. For the

remaining SIAPs, an effective date at

least 30 days after publication is

provided.

Further, the SIAPs contained in this

amendment are based on the criteria

contained in the U.S. Standard for

Terminal Instrument Procedures

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPs, the

TERPS criteria were applied to the

conditions existing or anticipated at the

affected airports. Because of the close

and immediate relationship between

these SIAPs and safety in air commerce,

I find that notice and public procedure

before adopting these SIAPs are

impracticable and contrary to the public

interest and, where applicable, that

good cause exists for making some

SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

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. 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. For the same

reason, the FAA certifies that this

amendment will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Addition of Medical Criteria for

Evaluating Down Syndrome in Adults

AGENCY: Social Security Administration

(SSA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: We are adding a new listing

to evaluate non-mosaic Down syndrome

in adults. Our current regulations only

include a listing for evaluating Down

syndrome in children; we evaluate

claims filed by adults with Down

syndrome under other listings. We are

establishing a separate adult listing for

this disorder to acknowledge its lifelong

impact and severity. We expect that

these final rules will simplify and

expedite our adjudication of claims filed

by adults with non-mosaic Down

syndrome.

DATES: These rules are effective June 19,

2000.

earnings, call our national toll-free

number, 1–800–772–1213 or TTY 1–

800–325–0778.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

We pay disability benefits under title

II of the Social Security Act (the Act) to

disabled individuals who are insured

under the Act. We also pay child’s

insurance benefits based on disability

and widow’s and widower’s insurance

benefits for disabled widows, widowers,

and surviving divorced spouses of

insured individuals. In addition, we

make Supplemental Security Income

(SSI) payments under title XVI of the

Act to persons who are disabled and

who have limited income and resources.

For adults under both the title II and

title XVI programs, and for persons

claiming child’s insurance benefits

based on disability under title II,

‘‘disability’’ means that an

impairment(s) results in an inability to

engage in any substantial gainful

activity. Disability must be the result of

any medically determinable physical or

mental impairment(s) that can be

expected to result in death or that has

lasted or can be expected to last for a

continuous period of at least 12 months.

Although the listings are contained

only in part 404, we incorporate them

by reference in the SSI program by

§ 416.925 of our regulations. The listings

are divided into part A and part B. We

apply the criteria in part A when we

evaluate impairments in adults, that is,

persons age 18 or over. The listings in

part A describe, for each of several

major body systems, impairments that

are considered severe enough to prevent

a person from doing any gainful activity.

As a result of medical advances in

disability evaluation and treatment, and

program experience, we are required to

periodically review and update the

listings. In the Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking (NPRM) we published in

the Federal Register (64 FR 55215) on

October 12, 1999, we indicated that we

would review these rules on July 2,

2001. However, based on our experience

adjudicating claims filed by adults with

non-mosaic Down syndrome, we believe

that these rules will continue to be valid

for our program purposes after that date.

Therefore, these rules will be in effect

for 8 years after the effective date,

unless we extend them, or revise and

issue them again.

Explanation of Final Rules

Aside from the change in the date on

which these rules will no longer be

effective, which we discussed above, we

have made no changes from the

proposed rules. We are adding a new

listing to evaluate claims filed by adults

who have non-mosaic Down syndrome.

Since 1990, we have evaluated claims

filed on behalf of children who have
