14 CFR Part 95 

[Docket No. 31201; Amdt. No. 540] 

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, July 

19, 2018.

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.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

16 CFR Parts 1112 and 1235 

[Docket No. CPSC–2016–0023] 

Safety Standard for Baby Changing 

Products 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety 

Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) 

requires the United States Consumer 

Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to 

adopt consumer product safety 

standards for durable infant or toddler 

products. To comply with the CPSIA, 

the Commission is issuing a safety 

standard for baby changing products. 

This rule incorporates by reference 

ASTM F2388–18, Standard Consumer 

Safety Specification for Baby Changing 

Products for Domestic Use (ASTM 

F2388–18). In addition, this rule 

amends the regulations regarding third 

party conformity assessment bodies to 

include the safety standard for baby 

changing products in the list of Notices 

of Requirements (NORs). 

DATES: The rule will become effective 

on June 26, 2019. The incorporation by 

reference of the publication listed in 

this rule is approved by the Director of 

the Federal Register as of June 26, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Statutory Authority 

Congress enacted the CPSIA (Pub. L. 

110–314, 122 Stat. 3016), including the 

Danny Keysar Child Product Safety 

Notification Act, on August 14, 2008. 

Section 104(b) of the CPSIA requires the 

Commission to: (1) Examine and assess 

the effectiveness of voluntary consumer 

product safety standards for durable 

infant or toddler products, in 

consultation with representatives of 

consumer groups, juvenile product 

manufacturers, and independent child 

product engineers and experts; and (2) 

promulgate consumer product safety 

standards for durable infant or toddler 

products. Any standard the Commission 

adopts under this mandate must be 

substantially the same as the applicable 

voluntary standard, or more stringent 

than the voluntary standard if the 

Commission determines that more 

stringent requirements would further 

reduce the risk of injury associated with 

the product. Section 104(f)(1) of the 

CPSIA defines the term ‘‘durable infant 

or toddler product’’ as ‘‘a durable 

product intended for use, or that may be 

reasonably expected to be used, by 

children under the age of 5 years,’’ and 

the Commission identified baby 

changing tables as a durable infant or 

toddler product in the product 

registration card rule codified in 16 CFR 

1130.2(a)(14). 

On September 29, 2016, the 

Commission issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPR), proposing to 

incorporate by reference the thencurrent voluntary standard for baby 

changing products, ASTM F2388–16, 

with more stringent requirements for
