72094 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 22, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

airways with Chadron, NE, [VOR/DME] 

included in their legal description are 

amended to reflect the Toadstool, NE, 

[VOR/DME] name change. The name 

change of the VOR/DME will coincide 

with the effective date of this rule. 

Additionally, the exclusionary 

language in the V–169 legal description 

addressing the Devils Lake West 

Military Operations Area (MOA) has 

been simplified for clarity. No changes 

to the current operational use are 

expected to occur from this editorial 

amendment. 

Since this action merely involves 

editorial changes in the legal 

descriptions of VOR Federal airways, 

and does not involve a change in the 

dimensions or operating requirements of 

that airspace, notice and public 

procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are 

unnecessary. 

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 United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 the 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 revises the legal description of four 

VOR Federal Airways in the vicinity of 

Chadron, NE. 

Domestic VOR Federal Airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA 

Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, 

and effective September 15, 2011, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The domestic VOR Federal 

Airways listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Environmental Review 

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 Impacts: 

Polices and Procedures, paragraph 311a. 

This airspace action is not expected to 

cause any potentially significant 

environmental impacts, and no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

14 CFR Part 95 

[Docket No. 30814; Amdt. No. 497] 

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts 

miscellaneous amendments to the 

required IFR (instrument flight rules) 

altitudes and changeover points for 

certain Federal airways, jet routes, or 

direct routes for which a minimum or 

maximum en route authorized IFR 

altitude is prescribed. This regulatory 

action is needed because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System. These changes are designed to 

provide for the safe and efficient use of 

the navigable airspace under instrument 

conditions in the affected areas. 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, 

December 15, 2011.

telephone: (405) 954–4164. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to part 95 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) 

amends, suspends, or revokes IFR 

altitudes governing the operation of all 

aircraft in flight over a specified route 

or any portion of that route, as well as 

the changeover points (COPs) for 

Federal airways, jet routes, or direct 

routes as prescribed in part 95. 

The Rule

used in conjunction with the prescribed 

changeover points for those routes,

ensure navigation aid coverage that is 

adequate for safe flight operations and 

free of frequency interference. The 

reasons and circumstances that create 

the need for this amendment involve 

matters of flight safety and operational 

efficiency in the National Airspace 

System, are related to published 

aeronautical charts that are essential to 

the user, and provide for the safe and 

efficient use of the navigable airspace. 

In addition, those various reasons or 

circumstances require making this 

amendment effective before the next 

scheduled charting and publication date 

of the flight information to assure its 

timely availability to the user. The 

effective date of this amendment reflects 

those considerations. In view of the 

close and immediate relationship 

between these regulatory changes and 

safety in air commerce, I find that notice 

and public procedure before adopting 

this amendment are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest and that 

good cause exists for making the 

amendment 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.

Air Quality Designations for the 2008

Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes air 

quality designations for most areas in 

the United States for the 2008 lead (Pb) 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). In a previous action 

established on November 16, 2010, the 

EPA designated as ‘‘nonattainment’’ 16 

areas as violating the 2008 Pb NAAQS 

based on data from the pre-2010 

monitoring network. For all other areas, 

the EPA deferred action so that data 

from newly deployed monitors could be 

considered in making appropriate 

designation decisions. In this action, the 

EPA is designating all remaining areas 

of the United States, including Indian 

country. The Clean Air Act (CAA) 

requires areas designated nonattainment 

by this rule to undertake certain 

planning and pollution control activities 

to attain the standards as quickly as 

reasonably possible. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of this rule is December 31, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

NO. EPA–HQ–OAR–2009–0443. All
