32120 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 108 / Monday, June 7, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) 

Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 proposed 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 modifies the high and low offshore 

airspace areas off the coast of California. 

ICAO Considerations 

As part of this proposal relates to 

navigable airspace outside the United 

States, this notice is submitted in 

accordance with the ICAO International 

Standards and Recommended Practices. 

The application of International 

Standards and Recommended Practices 

by the FAA, Office of System 

Operations Airspace and AIM, Airspace 

and Rules Group, in areas outside the 

United States domestic airspace, is 

governed by the Convention on 

International Civil Aviation. 

Specifically, the FAA is governed by 

Article 12 and Annex 11, which pertain 

to the establishment of necessary air 

navigational facilities and services to 

promote the safe, orderly, and 

expeditious flow of civil air traffic. The 

purpose of Article 12 and Annex 11 is 

to ensure that civil aircraft operations 

on international air routes are 

performed under uniform conditions. 

The International Standards and 

Recommended Practices in Annex 11 

apply to airspace under the jurisdiction 

of a contracting state, derived from 

ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when 

air traffic services are provided and a 

contracting state accepts the 

responsibility of providing air traffic 

services over high seas or in airspace of 

undetermined sovereignty. A 

contracting state accepting this 

responsibility may apply the 

International Standards and 

Recommended Practices that are 

consistent with standards and practices 

utilized in its domestic jurisdiction. In 

accordance with Article 3 of the 

Convention, state-owned aircraft are 

exempt from the Standards and 

Recommended Practices of Annex 11. 

The United States is a contracting state 

to the Convention. Article 3(d) of the 

Convention provides that participating 

state aircraft will be operated in 

international airspace with due regard 

for the safety of civil aircraft. Since this 

action involves, in part, the designation 

of navigable airspace outside the United 

States, the Administrator is consulting 

with the Secretary of State and the 

Secretary of Defense in accordance with 

the provisions of Executive Order 

10854. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to establish two RNAV 

T-routes, T–267 and T–271, and modify 

four RNAV T-routes and Q-routes in 

Alaska. In response to comments 

received for a NPRM published 

February 12, 2009, (74 FR 7012), a new 

T-route T–267 is proposed, which 

would circumvent the ocean near 

Kotzebue, AK, allowing IFR aircraft to 

fly closer to the shoreline. Also, one 

modified T-route would continue south 

from Frederick’s Point Non-directional 

Beacon, which would allow 

connectivity between Juneau and 

Ketchikan, AK. Two T-routes would be 

modified to allow lower minimum en 

route altitudes to be flown. 

Additionally, one Q-route would be 

revised providing a more direct route 

between Anchorage and Galena, AK. 

The RNAV routes described in this 

NPRM would enhance safety, and 

facilitate more flexible and efficient use 

of the navigable airspace for en route 

IFR operations in Alaska. 

A graphical representation of this 

proposal is on the web (downloadable 

PDF file) at: http://www.faa.gov/about/

The High Altitude RNAV Routes are 

published in paragraph 2006, and Low 

Altitude RNAV Routes are published in 

paragraph 6011, in FAA Order 7400.9T, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, signed August 27, 2009, and 

effective September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The airspace designations listed in 

this document would be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) 

Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action 

‘‘under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 proposed 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

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 proposes to establish and revise 

RNAV routes in Alaska. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This rule updates and expands 15 

CFR part 700, the Bureau of Industry 

and Security’s (BIS) Defense Priorities 

and Allocations System (DPAS) 

regulations. The DPAS regulations 

implement BIS’ administration of 

priorities and allocations actions 

involving industrial resources. BIS 

administers the DPAS pursuant to 

authority under Title I of the Defense 

Production Act (50 U.S.C. app. 2071 et 

seq.) (DPA) as delegated by Executive 

Order 12919 (June 3, 1994). The DPAS 

has two principal components: 

Priorities and allocations. Under the 

priorities component, certain contracts 

between the government and private 

parties or between private parties for the 

production or delivery of industrial 

resources are required to be given 

priority over other contracts to facilitate 

expedited delivery in promotion of the 

U.S. national defense. Under the 

allocations component, materials, 

services, and facilities may be allocated 

to promote the national defense. For 

both components, the term ‘‘national 

defense’’ is defined broadly and can 

include critical infrastructure protection 

and restoration, emergency 

preparedness, and recovery from natural 

disasters. BIS has extensive experience 

using its prioritizations authorities. 

However, BIS has not used its 

allocations authorities in more than fifty 

years. 

On September 30, 2009, the Defense 

Production Act Reauthorization of 2009 

(Pub. L. 111–67, 123 Stat. 2006, 

September 30, 2009) (DPAR) was 

enacted. That act requires that within 

270 days of its enactment (that is, by 

June 20, 2010), all agencies to which the
