79680 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 246 / Wednesday, December 23, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

U.S.C. 4513(f). In preparing this final 

rule, FHFA considered the differences 

between the Banks and the Enterprises 

as they relate to the above factors and 

determined that the Banks should not be 

treated differently from the Enterprises 

for purposes of the final rule. 

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The final rule does not contain any 

information collection requirement that 

requires the approval of the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.). Therefore, FHFA has not 

submitted any information to OMB for 

review. 

V. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires that a 

regulation that has a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities, small 

businesses, or small organizations must 

include a regulatory flexibility analysis 

describing the regulation’s impact on 

small entities. Such an analysis need 

not be undertaken if the agency has 

certified that the regulation will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 5 

U.S.C. 605(b). FHFA has considered the 

impact of this final rule under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. FHFA 

certifies that the final rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

because the regulation applies to Fannie 

Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Banks, 

which are not small entities for 

purposes of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act.

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 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 246 / Wednesday, December 23, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 79681 

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 

air traffic service route structure in the 

northwest United States to maintain the 

efficient flow of air traffic. 

History 

In 1990, the FAA published in the 

Federal Register a rule that established 

J–576 in 14 CFR 75, from the Glasgow, 

MT, VOR navigation aid (NAVAID) to 

the Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, VOR 

NAVAID (55 FR 42364, October 19, 

1990, FR Doc. 90–24786). This was 

corrected to J–477 (55 FR 46940, 

November 8, 1990, FR Doc. 90–26388) 

and finally, in 1991, part 75 was 

transferred to subpart M of 14 CFR 71 

(56 FR 65638, December 17, 1991, FR 

Doc. 91–29869). The route, extending 

through a small portion of airspace over 

the northwestern United States, was 

established in response to a request 

from the Canadian Department of 

Transportation to support airway 

changes in the Canadian airspace 

structure. 

On September 30, 2015, the FAA was 

notified that Canada was 

decommissioning the Medicine Hat 

VOR and removing the portion of J–477 

within Canada. Since the basis for 

which J–477 was originally established 

no longer exists, the FAA is removing 

the route. 

Jet routes are published in paragraph 

2004 of FAA Order 7400.9Z dated 

August 6, 2015, and effective September 

15, 2015, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The jet route 

listed in this document will be 

subsequently removed in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015. FAA 

Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

part 71 by removing jet route J–477. 

This action reflects and accommodates 

the route changes made in Canadian 

airspace due to the decommissioning of 

the Medicine Hat VOR. Therefore, 

notice and public procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

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. It, therefore: (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 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 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 

6.5a. This airspace action is not 

expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exists 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

Change; Correction 

AGENCY: Office of National Marine 

Sanctuaries (ONMS), National Ocean 

Service (NOS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Department of Commerce (DOC). 

ACTION: Final rule; correcting 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: NOAA originally published 

final rules expanding the boundaries of 

Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary 

(TBNMS) and National Marine 

Sanctuary of American Samoa 

(NMSAS), and specifying new boundary 

coordinates for those sanctuaries, on 

September 5, 2014, and July 26, 2012, 

respectively. Upon adding the new 

boundaries for both sanctuaries to 

NOAA nautical charts, NOAA noticed 

that some of the coordinates did not 

match the description of the boundaries 

in the respective final rules. This action 

corrects those errors in the coordinates, 

and updates the format of the tables of 

coordinates for NMSAS. This action 

also makes corrections to the boundary 

description for the Swains Island unit of 

NMSAS and makes a correction to the 

use of the term ‘‘mean high high water’’. 

This correcting amendment will ensure 

proper mapping and enforcement of 

TBNMS and NMSAS. This action makes
