**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

On February 10, 2011, the FAA published a final rule entitled,

‘‘ Operations Specifications ’’ (76 FR 7482).

In that final rule the FAA revised its regulations to clarify and standardize the rules for applications by foreign air carriers and foreign persons for part 129 operations specifications and establish new standards for amendment, suspension, and termination of those operations specifications. As part of the amendment, the FAA added new § 129.9(a)(2) and (b)(2) concerning the designation of an agent for service. The
**DATES** section correctly listed the compliance date for § 129.9(a)(2) and (b)(2) as February 10, 2012. Section 129.9(a)(2) and (b)(2) in the regulatory text incorrectly stated that the compliance date was ‘‘Within 1 year after February 10, 2012. ’’

Correction

In FR Doc. 2011–2834, beginning on page 7484 in the Federal Register of February 10, 2011, make the following corrections: Corrections to Regulatory Text
**§ 129.9 [Corrected]**

1. On page 7489, in the third column, in § 129.9(a)(2) and (b)(2), remove the words ‘‘February 10, 2012 ’’ and add in their place the words ‘‘February 10, 2011 ’’

**BILLING CODE 4910–13–P**

**DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE**

**28 CFR Part 0**
**[Tax Division Directive No. 139]**
**Redelegation of Authority to Compromise and Close Civil Claims** 

**AGENCY :**  Department of Justice.
**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  This Tax Division directive delegates to a Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General all of the Assistant Attorney General’s authority to compromise and close civil claims, except when such action is opposed by the client agency or agencies. This Tax Division directive further delegates settlement authority of the Chiefs of the Civil Trial Sections, the Court of Federal Claims Section, the Appellate Section, the Office of Review, and the Deputy Assistant Attorneys General, to compromise and close civil claims. In addition, this directive allows discretionary redelegation of limited authority by a Section Chief to his or her Assistant Chiefs and Reviewers. This directive supersedes Directive No. 135.
**DATES :**  Effective Date: March 21, 2011.
**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Deborah Meland, Tax Division, Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, (202) 307–6567.
**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This rule relates to internal agency management. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for comment are not required, and this rule may be made effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register

. This regulation is not a significant rule within the meaning of Executive Order 13866, as amended, and therefore was not reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This regulation does not have an impact on small entities and, therefore, is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This action pertains to agency management, personnel and organization and does not substantiallyaffect the rights or obligations of nonagency parties and, accordingly, is not

a ‘‘rule ’’ as that term is used by the Congressional Review Act (Subtitle E of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA)). Therefore, the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801 does not apply. List of Subjects in 28 CFR Part 0

Authority delegations (Government agencies), Government employees, Organization and functions (Government agencies).

Accordingly, 28 CFR part 0 is amended as follows:
