fraud prevention technologies, card 

reissuance due to fraudulent activity, 

data security, and card activation.14

As noted above, section 920(a)(4)(B) 

specifically directs the Board to 

consider in establishing the interchange 

fee standard the costs ‘‘incurred by the 

issuer for the role of the issuer in the 

authorization, clearance or settlement of 

a particular transaction.’’ Transactions 

monitoring is an integral part of the 

authorization process, so that the costs 

incurred in that process are part of the 

authorization costs that the Board is 

required by the statute to consider when 

establishing the interchange fee 

standard. In addition, the statutory 

language of section 920(a)(5), which 

differs in important respects from 

section 920(a)(4)(B), supports the 

Board’s decision to include 

transactions-monitoring costs in the 

interchange fee standard rather than in 

the separate fraud prevention 

adjustment. The costs considered in 

section 920(a)(5)(A)(i) are those of 

preventing fraud ‘‘in relation to 

electronic debit transactions,’’ rather 

than costs of ‘‘a particular electronic 

debit transaction’’ referenced in section 

920(a)(4)(B). Congress’s elimination of 

the word ‘‘particular’’ and its use of the 

more general phrase ‘‘in relation to,’’ 

along with its use of the plural 

‘‘transactions,’’ indicates that the fraudprevention adjustment may take into 

account an issuer’s fraud prevention 

costs over a broad spectrum of 

transactions that are not linked to a 

particular transaction. 

Moreover, section 920(a)(5) permits 

the Board to adopt a separate 

adjustment ‘‘to make allowance for costs 

incurred by the issuer in preventing 

fraud in relation to electronic debit 

transactions involving that issuer’’ if 

certain standards are met, and directs 

that those standards include that the 

issuers take steps to ‘‘reduce the 

occurrence of, and costs from, fraud in 

relation to electronic debit 

transactions,’’ including ‘‘development 

and implementation of cost-effective 

fraud prevention technology.’’ Section 

920(a)(5)(A)(i), (A)(ii)(II) (emphasis 

supplied). The use of the general phrase 

‘‘fraud in relation to electronic debit 

transactions’’ and the specific reference 

to developing fraud prevention 

technology suggest a Congressional 

intent to use the fraud prevention 

adjustment to encourage issuers to 

develop and adopt programmatic 

improvements to address fraud outside 

of the context of particular transactions 

that incur costs for authorization, 

clearance, or settlement. The types of 

costs the Board included in the separate 

fraud prevention adjustment are 

programmatic costs, such as researching 

and developing new fraud prevention 

technologies and data security, and 

other costs that encourage enhanced 

fraud prevention that are not necessary 

to effect particular transactions. 

The Board is publishing this 

explanation in accordance with the 

opinion of the Court of Appeals. 

By order of the Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System, August 10, 2015. 

Robert deV. Frierson, 

Secretary of the Board.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for this Rulemaking 

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 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 amends 

Class D and Class E airspace at Santa 

Rosa, CA. 

History 

The FAAs Aeronautical Information 

Services identified that the airport 

reference point (ARP) was not 

coincidental with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. This action 

makes these corrections. Accordingly, 

since this action merely adjusts the 

geographic coordinates of the airport, 

notice and public procedure under 

553(b) are unnecessary. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraphs 5000 and 

6004, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 157 / Friday, August 14, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 48687 

effective September 15, 2014, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class D and Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Y, airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014. FAA 

Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class D airspace and Class E 

airspace designated as an extension at 

Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County 

Airport, Santa Rosa, CA. The airport’s 

geographic coordinates are adjusted to 

be in concert with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. This is an 

administrative change and does not 

affect the dimensions or operating 

requirements of the airspace area. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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, is non-controversial, and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

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: Policies 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.
