SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On March 13, 2006 a notice proposing 

to amend Part 71 of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet Above Ground 

Level (AGL) for an RNAV, Helicopter 

Point in Space Approach to the 

Ridgeway Landing Zone, Ridgeway, PA, 

was published in the Federal Register. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA 

on or before may 13, 2006. No 

comments to the proposal were 

received. The rule is adopted as 

proposed. The coordinates for this 

airspace docket are based on North 

American Datum 83. 

Class E airspace areas designations for 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet or more above the surface of the 

earth are published in paragraph 6005 of 

FAA Order 7400.9P, dated September 1, 

2006 and effective September 15, 2006, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be amended in the order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) provides controlled Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for aircraft 

conducting Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the Ridgeway 

Landing Zone, Ridgeway, PA. 

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 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

Continuing Disability Review Failure 

To Cooperate Process 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Final rules. 

SUMMARY: We are amending our 

regulations to provide that we will 

suspend your disability benefits before 

we make a determination during a 

continuing disability review (CDR) 

under title II and title XVI of the Social 

Security Act (the Act) when you fail to 

comply with our request for necessary 

information. Should you remain noncompliant for a period of one year 

following your suspension, we will then 

terminate your disability benefits. 

Although our current title XVI 

regulations generally provide for the 

termination of payments after 12 

months of suspension, we are amending 

our regulations by adding this policy to 

our title II regulations and by restating 

it in the title XVI CDR regulatory 

provisions. 

DATES: These final rules are effective 

December 18, 2006.

Statutory Background 

Sections 221(i) and 1614(a)(3)(H)(ii)(I) 

of the Act and §§ 404.1589, and 416.989 

of our regulations require that after we 

find that you are disabled, we evaluate 

your impairment(s) from time to time to 

determine if you remain disabled. We 

call this evaluation a continuing 

disability review (CDR). If the medical 

and other evidence shows that you are 

not disabled under the standards set out 

in sections 223(f) and 1614(a)(4) of the 

Act, we will end the payment of cash 

benefits and terminate your period of 

disability. 

Section 1614(a)(3)(H)(iii) of the Act 

and § 416.987 of our regulations require 

that if you are eligible for payments as 

a child under title XVI by reason of 

disability, we redetermine that 

eligibility during the one-year period 

beginning on your 18th birthday, or, in 

lieu of a CDR, whenever we determine 

that your case is subject to such a 

review. We call this evaluation an age18 redetermination. If the medical and 

other evidence shows that you are not 

disabled under the standards set out in 

section 1614(a)(3)(A)–(B) of the Act, we 

will end the payment of cash payments 

and terminate your period of disability. 

Sections 223(f) and 1614(a)(4) of the 

Act provide that, in general, if you 

receive disability benefits under titles II 

and/or XVI of the Act, we may find that 

you are no longer disabled if substantial 

evidence shows that there has been 

medical improvement in your 

impairment or combination of 

impairments, and you are now able to 

do substantial gainful activity. Under 

title XVI, if you are a child (an 

individual under age 18), substantial 

evidence must show that there has been 

medical improvement in your 

impairment or combination of 

impairments, and the impairment(s) 

must no longer cause marked and severe 

functional limitations. We call this the 

medical improvement review standard 

(MIRS), and we apply it whenever we 

do a CDR for an adult or a child. The 

statute also provides, however, for 

several exceptions to the ‘‘medical 

improvement’’ requirement where we 

will not apply the MIRS. One of those 

exceptions to applying the MIRS is the 

situation where you fail, without good 

cause, to cooperate with us when we do 

a CDR. 

Continuing Disability Review and Age18 Redetermination Processes Under 

Our Current Regulations 

When we begin a CDR or an age-18 

redetermination, we notify you that we 

are reviewing your eligibility for 

disability benefits and explain why we 

are reviewing your eligibility; what 

standard will apply, either the MIRS in 

a CDR or the initial claims criteria in an 

age-18 redetermination; that our review 

could result in the termination of your 

benefits; and that you have the right to 

submit medical and other evidence for 

us to consider during the CDR or the 

age-18 redetermination. Before we 

determine whether you are still 

disabled, we develop a complete 

medical history covering at least the 12 

months preceding the date that you
