Docket No. 12–AGL–9] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Sault 

Ste Marie, ON 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at Sault Ste Marie, ON. 

Changes to controlled airspace are 

necessary to coincide with the Canadian 

control zone over Sault Ste Marie 

Airport. The FAA is taking this action 

to enhance the safety and management 

of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) 

operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, June 

27, 2013. 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 September 14, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the Sault 

Ste Marie, ON, area, amending 

controlled airspace at Sault Ste Marie 

Airport (77 FR 56796) Docket No. FAA– 

2012–0791. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. No 

comments were received. Class E 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9W 

dated August 8, 2012, and effective 

September 15, 2012, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to Class D at Sault Ste 

Marie Airport, Sault Ste Marie, ON, to 

coincide with that portion of the control 

zone in Canadian airspace. This action 

is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

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, 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 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 

controlled airspace at Sault Ste Marie 

Airport, Sault Ste Marie, ON.

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

Standards for Business Practices and 

Communication Protocols for Public 

Utilities 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, Energy. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) is 

amending its regulations which 

establish standards for business 

practices and electronic 

communications for public utilities to 

incorporate by reference updated 

business practice standards adopted by 

the Wholesale Electric Quadrant of the 

North American Energy Standards 

Board to categorize various products 

and services for demand response and 

energy efficiency and to support the 

measurement and verification of these 

products and services in organized 

wholesale electric markets. These 

standards provide common definitions 

and processes regarding demand 

response and energy efficiency products 

in organized wholesale electric markets 

where such products are offered. The 

standards also require each regional 

transmission organization (RTO) and 

independent system operator (ISO) to 

address in the RTO or ISO’s governing 

documents the performance evaluation 

methods to be used for demand 

response and energy efficiency 

products. The standards thereby 

facilitate the ability of demand response 

and energy efficiency providers to 

participate in organized wholesale 

electric markets, reducing transaction 

costs and providing an opportunity for 

more customers to participate in these 

programs, especially for customers that 

operate in more than one organized 

market. 

DATES: This rule will become effective 

May 6, 2013. Dates for implementation 

of the standards are provided in the 

Final Rule. This incorporation by 

reference of certain publications in the 

rule is approved by the Director of the 

Federal Register as of May 6, 2013.
