SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On May 5, 2000, the FAA proposed to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by

establishing Class E airspace at

Livingston, TN (65 FR 26157). This

action provides adequate Class E

airspace for IFR operations at Livingston

Community Hospital. Designations for

Class E airspace extending upward from

700 feet or more above the surface are

published in FAA Order 7400.9G, dated

September 1, 1999, and effective

September 16, 1999, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

part 71.1. The Class E designation listed

in this document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

were received.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) amends Class E airspace at

Livingston, TN.

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. 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.

Distribution of Fiscal Year 2000 Indian

Reservation Roads Funds

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs,

Interior.

ACTION: Temporary rule.

SUMMARY: We are issuing a temporary

rule requiring that we distribute the

remaining fiscal year 2000 Indian

Reservation Roads funds to projects on

or near Indian reservations using the

relative need formula. This rule

includes more accurate data for the

States of Washington and Alaska in the

relative need formula distribution

process for fiscal year 2000.

DATES: This temporary rule is effective

on June 16, 2000. Section 170.4b expires

September 30, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Where Can I Find General Background

Information on the Indian Reservation

Roads Program, the Relative Need

Formula, and the Transportation Equity

Act for the 21st Century Negotiated

Rulemaking Process?

The background information on the

IRR program, the relative need formula,

and the Transportation Equity Act for

the 21st Century (TEA–21) Negotiated

Rulemaking process is detailed in the

first temporary rule published in the

Federal Register on February 15, 2000

(65 FR 7431). You may obtain additional

information on the Indian Reservation

Roads (IRR) program web site at

www.irr.bia.gov.

What Was the Basis for the Distribution

of the First Half of Fiscal Year 2000 IRR

Funds?

TEA–21 provided that the Secretary

develop rules and a funding formula for

fiscal year 2000 and subsequent fiscal

years to implement the Indian

Reservation Roads program section of

the Act. The Negotiated Rulemaking

Committee created under Section 1115

of TEA–21 and comprised of

representatives of tribal governments

and the Federal Government has been

diligently working to develop a funding

formula, but has not yet been able to

agree on a permanent funding formula.

Without a permanent funding formula

recommendation from the Committee,

under TEA–21 the Secretary did not

have a basis on which to distribute

fiscal year 2000 IRR funds. Therefore,

on January 26, 2000, the TEA–21

Negotiated Rulemaking Committee

agreed, based on the tribal committee

members’ consensus, to recommend to

the Secretary that fiscal year 2000 IRR

funds be distributed under the current

relative need formula. The tribal

committee members’ consensus and

recommendation to the Bureau of Indian

Affairs (BIA) stated: ‘‘We request that

the BIA resolve this problem for nonreporting states by using the price index

data from the most recent year for which

the state submitted data.’’

In addition, in order to distribute

$18.3 million under Public Law 106–96,

an extra, one-time Department of

Transportation appropriation for fiscal

year 2000 IRR program, the consensus

agreement provided that the BIA

distribute the funds to federallyrecognized Indian tribes and Alaskan

Native Villages based on a timely

receipt of applications and scopes of

work who have not completed adequate

transportation planning within the last

5 years or that have deficient IRR

bridges. The BIA published the Federal

Register Notice on March 7, 2000 (65 FR

12026), requesting proposals from

eligible tribes and Alaskan Native

Villages by April 6, 2000.

How is the FHWA Price Trends Report

Used in the Current Relative Need

Formula?

The cost to construct one mile of road

(cost-to-construct) changes from year-toyear due to fluctuations in the cost of

overall highway construction prices

(materials, techniques and demand).

The cost-to-construct fluctuates from

BIA Region-to-Region and State-to-State.

The method used within the IRR

program to track and adjust for the

fluctuations in the cost-to-construct

between BIA Regions is through the use

of price trend data. This data is found

in the FHWA report, Price Trends for

Federal-Aid Highway Construction.

This report indicates the fluctuations in

the cost of overall highway construction

prices.

The FHWA Federal-Aid Division

offices and States compile and report

construction cost data annually to the

FHWA. The reports reflect unit contract

quantities with their associated unit bid

costs for highway construction. The
