FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

12 CFR Part 261a

[Docket No. R–1071]

Rules Regarding Access to Personal

Information Under the Privacy Act

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Privacy Act, the Board of Governors of

the Federal Reserve System (Board) is

amending its Rules Regarding Access to

Personal Information under the Privacy

Act to include a new system of records,

entitled Multi-rater Feedback Records

(BGFRS–25) to the list of system of

records that is exempt from certain

required disclosures. Notice of the new

system of records is published

elsewhere in this Federal Register.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 28, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Elaine M. Boutilier, Senior Counsel,

Legal Division (202/452–2418), or Chris

Fields, Manager, Human Resources

Function, Management Division (202/

452–3654), Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System, 20th Street and

Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington,

DC 20551. For users of the

Telecommunications Device for the Deaf

(TDD) only, contact Janice Simms at

202/452–4984.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Board is instituting a feedback

program for its managers and officers.

Under this Multi-rater Feedback

program, Board employees who work

for or with a particular manager or

officer are asked to complete a

voluntary, confidential questionnaire

regarding the performance of that

manager/officer and send it directly to

a consultant hired by the Board for this

program. The consultant analyzes the

completed questionnaires and compiles

a report for the manager/officer that

summarizes the comments from the

questionnaires. This report does not

identify individual comments or those

who completed the questionnaires. The

report is given only to the manager/

officer being evaluated; no other Board

34392 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 104 / Tuesday, May 30, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

employee or officer receives a copy of

the report. The consultant maintains all

of the data connected with this program,

identified only by the name of the

manager/officer being evaluated.

Although information from the

completed questionnaires is stored in

the system of records without

identifying the individual who

completed the questionnaire, it is

possible that the individual could be

identified by careful study of the

answers provided. To protect the

confidentiality of these participants,

which is expressly promised when the

questionnaires are distributed, this data

will not be available to the manager/

officer that is the subject of the

questionnaires. Accordingly, access to

certain data in this system of records is

restricted pursuant to the exemption

provided in subsection (k)(5) of the

Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5). The

Board’s Rules Regarding Access to

Personal Information under the Privacy

Act must be amended to include this

system of records in the list of ‘‘exempt’’

systems of records. In addition, the

Board is taking this opportunity to

remove from that list a system of records

that was amended in 1998 and no longer

contains information that is exempt

from the access provisions of the

Privacy Act.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 605, the

Board certifies that this rule will not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities,

because it applies only to internal

personnel matters of the agency.

Administrative Procedure Act

This rule is exempt from the

rulemaking provisions of the

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.

553, and the Congressional Review Act,

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(B) and (C),

because it is a rule relating to agency

management or personnel and a rule of

agency procedure that does not

substantially affect the rights or

obligations of non-agency parties.

List of Subjects in 12 CFR Part 261a

Federal Reserve System, Privacy.

For the reasons set forth in the

preamble, the Board amends 12 CFR

part 261a as follows:

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00–AWP–1]

Modification of Class E Airspace;

Willits, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class

E airspace area at Willits, CA. The

establishment of an Area Navigation

(RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 16

and RWY 34 at Ells Field-Willits

Municipal Airport has made this

proposal necessary. Additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 7000 feet or more above the surface

of the earth is needed to contain aircraft

executing the RBAV RWY 16 and RWY

34 SIAP to Ells Field-Willits Municipal

Airport. The intended effect of this

action is to provide adequate controlled

airspace for Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR) operations at Ells Field-Willits

Municipal Airport, Willits, CA.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC August 10,

2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On March 22, 2000, the FAA

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by

modifying the Class E airspace area at

Willis, CA (65 FR 15282). Additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above the surface is

needed to contain aircraft executing the

RNAV RWY 16 and RWY 34 SIAP at

Ells Field-Willis Municipal Airport.

This action will provide adequate

controlled airspace for aircraft executing

the RNAV RWY 16 and RWY 34 SIAP

at Ells Field-Willits Municipal Airport,

Willits, CA.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments to the proposal were

received. Class E airspace designation

for airspace extending from 700 feet or

more above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9G dated September 1, 1999,

and effective September 16, 1999, which

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

modifies the Class E airspace area at

Willits, CA. The development of a

RNAV RWY 16 and RWY 34 SIAP has

made this action necessary. The effect of

this action will provide adequate

airspace for aircraft executing the RNAV

RWY 16 and RWY 34 SIAP at Ells FieldWillits Municipal Airport, Willits, CA.

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 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 will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Adoption of the Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration

amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
