Agency Findings

The regulations adopted herein will

not have a substantial direct effect on

the States, on the relationship between

the national Government and the States,

or on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, it is

determined that this final rule does not

have federalism implications under

Executive Order 13132.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation is noncontroversial and

unlikely to result in adverse or negative

comments. For the reasons discussed in

the preamble, I certify that this

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) if

promulgated, will not have a significant

economic impact, positive or negative,

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00–AGL–22]

Realignment of Federal Airways; IL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action amends the legal

descriptions of five Federal airways that

align with the Northbrook Very High

Frequency Omnidirectional Range/

Tactical Air navigation (VORTAC). The

FAA is taking this action due to the

decommissioning of the Northbrook

VORTAC and commissioning of the

Northbrook Very High Frequency

Omnidirectional Range/Distance

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME)

facility. This action also reflects minor

changes to the legal descriptions of five

Federal airways and also makes

editorial corrections to V–217.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 25,

2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Northbrook VOR/DME (formerly

a VORTAC) is essential in supporting

aircraft operations into, out of and above

the Chicago O’Hare, IL, Class B airspace

area. In the interest of aviation safety,

the FAA decommissioned the VORTAC

and commissioned the new VOR/DME

facility. On April 4, 2000, the FAA

published in the National Flight Data

Digest (Issue 070–2) information

pertaining to the Northbrook facility.

The action was charted effective June

15, 2000, however, as a result of this

relocation the legal descriptions of five

Federal airways requires amendment.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

Part 71) amends the legal descriptions of

five Federal airways, V–24, V–97, V–

100, V–217, and V–228. These airways

align with the Northbrook VOR/DME

and have intersections contained in the

legal descriptions. These intersections

are defined by the Northbrook VOR/

DME and are published on the

appropriate aeronautical charts. These

changes are due to the decommissioning

of the Northbrook VORTAC and

commissioning of the Northbrook VOR/

DME facility located approximately 851

feet south of the VORTAC’s prior

location.

In addition, this action updates V–217

by amending the spelling of

‘‘Winnepeg’’ to ‘‘Winnipeg.’’ The FAA is

taking this action to manage the

navigable airspace and support

navigational requirements in the

vicinity north of Chicago O’Hare

International Airport.

Domestic VOR Federal airways are

published in Section 6010(a) of FAA

Order 7400.9H dated September 1, 2000,

and effective September 16, 2000, which

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Federal airways listed in this

document will be published

subsequently in the order.

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 will only affect air traffic

procedures and air navigation, it is

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

16 CFR Parts 2 and 4

Access Requests From Foreign and

Domestic Law Enforcement Agencies

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission

(FTC).

ACTION: Final rule amendments.

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade

Commission is amending its Rules of

Practice to delegate to the Director of the

Bureau of Competition the authority to

respond to certain requests made

pursuant to agreements under the

International Antitrust Enforcement

Assistance Act. The Commission is also

providing that requests from state

agencies may be addressed to an

appropriate liaison officer (rather than

the General Counsel).

DATES: The amendments are effective on

November 2, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marc Winerman, Attorney, Office of the

General Counsel, FTC, 600

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,

Washington, DC 20580, 202–326–2451,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority

to respond to requests for materials

made pursuant to agreements under the

International Antitrust Enforcement

Assistance Act. The International

Antitrust Enforcement Assistance Act

(IAEAA), 15 U.S.C. 6201 et seq.,

authorizes the Commission and the

Justice Department to assist foreign

antitrust agencies, and anticipates that

foreign agencies will assist them in

return, pursuant to IAEAA agreements.

After making a public interest

determination and other determinations

set forth in the Act, 15 U.S.C. 6207(a),

the agencies can share information

already in their files, including, for

example, information made confidential

by the Federal Trade Commission Act.

15 U.S.C. 6201, 6205.1 They can also

conduct investigations to help an

IAEAA requester, during which they

can use compulsory process if needed.

15 U.S.C. 6202. The first IAEAA

agreement, an agreement with Australia,

was signed on April 27, 1999. The

Commission has delegated to the

Director of the Bureau of Competition

the authority to respond to certain

requests under this and future IAEAA

agreements, in accordance with the

IAEAA.

Requests for records (including

information within records). Rule

4.11(i), a new provision, delegates to the

Director of the Bureau of Competition

the authority to respond to requests

under IAEAA agreements seeking access

to existing Commission records. This

includes requests that seek, through

discussion or otherwise, information

contained in such records. The

authority cannot be redelegated, and the

delegation is subject to negative option

review; before responding to a request,

the Bureau Director must give the

Commission three days’ notice of the

intended response and, during that

time, any Commissioner may bring the

matter to the full Commission.

The Commission has also amended

sections 4.10(d) and (e) of its Rules of

Practice, which describe materials that

the Commission generally cannot make

public at all or can make public only

after finding the material is not

confidential and giving ten days’ notice

to the submitter. These provisions also

describe situations where their general

restrictions on disclosure do not apply,

including disclosure to IAEAA

requesters.2 The Commission is
