DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 95 

[Docket No. 30841; Amdt. No. 500] 

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, May 

31, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick 

Dunham, Flight Procedure Standards 

Branch (AMCAFS–420), Flight 

Technologies and Programs Division, 

Flight Standards Service, Federal 

Aviation Administration, Mike 

Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 

South MacArthur Blvd. Oklahoma City, 

OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 

25082 Oklahoma City, OK 73125) 

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 

The specified IFR altitudes, when 

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.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND 

SPACE ADMINISTRATION 

14 CFR Part 1240 

[Document Number NASA–2012–0002] 

RIN 2700–AD51 

Inventions and Contributions 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: NASA is amending its 

regulations to clarify and update the 

procedures for board recommended 

awards, and the procedures and 

requirements for recommended special 

initial awards, including patent 

application awards, software release 

awards, and Tech Brief awards, and to 

update citations and the information on 

the systems used for reporting 

inventions and issuing award payments. 

The revisions to this rule are part of 

NASA’s retrospective plan under EO 

13563 completed in August 2011. 

NASA’s full plan can be accessed at: 

http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/581545main_

Final%20Plan%20for%

20Retrospective%20Analysis%20of%

20Existing%20Regulations.pdf. 

DATES: This rule is effective July 9, 2012 

without further action, unless adverse 

comment is received by June 11, 2012. 

If adverse comment is received, NASA 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

rule in the Federal Register. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Helen M. Galus, Office of the General 

Counsel, NASA Headquarters, 

telephone (202) 358–3437, fax (202) 

358–4341. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Final 

regulations relating to Invention and 

Contributions Board Awards for 

Scientific and Technical Contributions 

[14 CFR part 1240, Subpart 1], were 

published at 25 FR 1312 on February 13, 

1960. These regulations were written 

under the National Aeronautics and 

Space Act of 1958, As Amended, 42 

U.S.C. 2457(f), 2458 and 2473(b)(1) 

(now, National Aeronautics and Space 

Act, 51 U.S.C. 20135(g), 20136 and 

20112 (b)(1)). This subpart prescribes 

the regulations for the granting of 

monetary awards by the NASA 

Administrator, for scientific and 

technical contributions of significant 

value in the conduct of aeronautical and 

space activities. Final amendments to 

these regulations were published at 67 

FR 31119 on May 9, 2002, to provide 

definitions, add new category of initial 

awards for release of software, to 

provide initial awards for the issuance 

of patents based upon continuation-inpart and divisional patent applications, 

to increase the amount of certain 

awards, and to change delegations of 

authority from the NASA Administrator. 

NASA is now again revising its 

regulations at 14 CFR part 1240, subpart 

1, to clarify the eligibility requirements 

for certain awards and clarify that the 

awards are recommended by the 

Inventions and Contributions Board 

(hereinafter ‘‘the Board’’), but final 

terms and conditions of the awards are 

at the discretion of the Administrator or 

his designee, the revisions also provide 

the Board more flexibility in the amount 

of the special awards to be 

recommended. Additionally, the 

National Aeronautics and Space Act 

(hereinafter ‘‘the Space Act’’), is now 

codified in Title 51 of the United States 

Code, so citations to this Act have been 

updated accordingly. The regulations 

have also been revised, in part, to make 

them conform closer to the terms of the 

Space Act, and to reflect current 

accounting techniques used at the 

Agency. Additional revisions include 

rendering the terminology consistent 

within the regulations and the sentence 

structure grammatically complete and 

easier to understand. Finally, the 

revisions reflect organizational 

management changes that have taken 

place within the agency and the 

respective resulting responsibilities. 

Direct Final Rule and Significant 

Adverse Comments 

NASA has determined this 

rulemaking meets the criteria for a 

direct final rule because it involves 

clarifications, updating, and minor 

substantive changes to the existing 

regulations. NASA does not anticipate 

this direct final rule will result in any 

major changes to its current awards 

program. NASA expects no opposition 

to the changes and no significant 

adverse comments. However, if NASA 

receives a significant adverse comment, 

the Agency will withdraw this direct 

final rule by publishing a document in 

the Federal Register. A significant 

adverse comment is one that explains:
