Docket No. 11–ANM–17] 

Proposed Modification of Class E 

Airspace; Driggs, ID 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify Class E airspace at Driggs-Reed 

Memorial Airport, Driggs, ID. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

aircraft using Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Global Positioning System (GPS) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at Driggs-Reed Memorial 

Airport, Driggs, ID. This action also 

would note the airport name change and 

adjust the geographic coordinates of the 

airport. The FAA is proposing this 

action to enhance the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at Driggs-Reed 

Memorial Airport, Driggs, ID. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 28, 2011.

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace at Driggs, ID, to accommodate 

aircraft using RNAV (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport. The 

airport name also would be corrected 

from Teton Peaks/Driggs Municipal 

Airport to Driggs-Reed Memorial 

Airport, and the geographic coordinates 

of the airport would be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. This action would enhance 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, 

and effective September 15, 2011, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this Order. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 this proposed rule, when 

promulgated, would 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

section 106, describes the authority for 

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

2A claimant is disabled if he or she is unable to

RIN 0960–AH26 

Expedited Vocational Assessment 

Under the Sequential Evaluation 

Process 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to give 

adjudicators the discretion to proceed to 

the fifth step of the sequential 

evaluation process for assessing 

disability when we have insufficient 

information about a claimant’s past 

relevant work history to make the 

findings required for step 4. If an 

adjudicator finds at step 5 that a 

claimant may be unable to adjust to 

other work existing in the national 

economy, the adjudicator would return 

to the fourth step to develop the 

claimant’s work history and make a 

finding about whether the claimant can 

perform his or her past relevant work. 

This proposed new process would not 

disadvantage any claimant or change the 

ultimate conclusion about whether a 

claimant is disabled, but it would 

promote administrative efficiency and 

help us make more timely disability 

determinations and decisions. 

DATES: To ensure that your comments 

are considered, we must receive them 

no later than November 14, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any one of three methods—Internet, 

fax, or mail. Do not submit the same 

comments multiple times or by more 

than one method. Regardless of which 

method you choose, please state that 

your comments refer to Docket No. 

SSA–2010–0060 so that we may 

associate your comments with the 

correct regulation. 

Caution: You should be careful to 

include in your comments only 

information that you wish to make 

publicly available. We strongly urge you 

not to include in your comments any 

personal information, such as Social 

Security numbers or medical 

information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Current Sequential Evaluation 

Process 

We use a five-step ‘‘sequential 

evaluation process’’ 1 to decide whether 

a claimant is disabled 2 when he or she 

applies for disability benefits under title 

II of the Social Security Act (Act) or 

Supplemental Security Income 

payments based on disability under title 

XVI of the Act. We follow each step in 

a set order. If we can find that a 

claimant is disabled or not disabled at 

a step, we do not go on to the next step.3

If we cannot find that a claimant is 

disabled or not disabled at a step, we 

evaluate the claim at the next step in the 

sequential evaluation process.4 The 

following is a general overview of the 

five steps. 

At step 1, we consider whether a 

claimant is working and whether the 

work qualifies as ‘‘substantial gainful
