**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  History

On February 10, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace for Emmetsburg, IA, reconfiguring controlled airspace at Emmetsburg Municipal Airport (75 FR 6592) Docket No. FAA–2009–1153. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending Class E airspace for the Emmetsburg, IA area, adding additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to accommodate SIAPs at Emmetsburg Municipal Airport. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.

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. Therefore, this 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 that this 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 controlled airspace at Emmetsburg Municipal Airport, Emmetsburg, IA. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

**Federal Housing Administration: Continuation of FHA Reform—**  **Strengthening Risk Management Through Responsible FHA-Approved**  **Lenders; Correction**

**AGENCY :**  Office of General Counsel, HUD.

**ACTION :**  Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY :**  HUD is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of April 20, 2010 (75 FR 20718). This final rule adopted changes pertaining to the approval of mortgage lenders by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) that are designed to strengthen FHA by improving its management of risk. Although the preamble to the final rule correctly provides that the revised net worth requirements will take effect for applicants to the FHA programs on May 20, 2010, the corresponding regulatory text incorrectly provides that the requirements will take effect on June 21, 2010. This document makes the necessary correction.

**DATES :**  Effective Date: May 20, 2010.

**[Docket ID: MMS–2007–OMM–0068]**

**RIN 1010–AD47**

**Annular Casing Pressure Management for Offshore Wells** 

**AGENCY :**  Minerals Management Service (MMS), Interior.

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  This final rule will establish regulations to address sustained casing pressure in oil and gas wells completed in the Outer Continental Shelf. Sustained casing pressure is a problem that, if left untreated, could cause serious harm to human life and the environment. The final rule will establish criteria for monitoring and testing of wells with sustained casing pressure, and will also incorporate the American Petroleum Institute’s Recommended Practice for managing annular casing pressure. New regulations are needed because the current regulations do not adequately address the requirements for wells that have sustained casing pressure. This rule will promote human safety and environmental protection, and require Outer Continental Shelf lessees to follow best industry practices for wells with sustained casing pressure.

**DATES :**  Effective Date: This rule becomes effective on June 3, 2010. The incorporation by reference of the publication listed in the regulation is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of June 3, 2010.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On July 31, 2009, MMS published the proposed rule Annular Casing Pressure Management for Offshore Wells (74 FR 38147). The comment period for the proposed rule was open for 60 days. During the comment period, MMS received three comments. Two comments were in favor of this rule and the remaining comment was not associated with this rulemaking.

There are no changes between the proposed and final rule language. There are also no changes to the procedural matters discussion regarding information collection requirements, cost estimates, benefits, or impacts to small entities.

Public Comments: The MMS received three comments on the proposed rule 1010–AD47 Annular Casing Pressure Management for Offshore Wells. The comments received are summarized as follows:

• British Petroleum (BP)—BP, a large oil and gas company, expressed the importance of this rule and how they have been involved with MMS and industry to develop the industry standard.

• Offshore Operators Committee (OOC)—OOC, a large oil and gas industry organization, stated their support of this rulemaking and their involvement with the industry standard.

• Private citizen—This comment is not associated with this rulemaking.

The two applicable comments received on the proposed rule are fully supportive of this rulemaking.

Background: Sustained casing pressure (SCP) is pressure between the casing and the well’s tubing, or between strings of casing, that rebuilds after being bled down. The SCP represents an ongoing safety hazard and can cause serious or immediate harm or damage to human life, the marine and coastal environment, and property. The oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) has suffered serious accidents as a result of high SCP, and the lack of proper control and monitoring of these pressures. With over 8,000 affected wells in the GOM with SCP in at least one annulus, immediate elimination of all SCP has proved to be impractical and exceedingly costly. The MMS has sought to identify and eliminate SCP in cases that represent a clear hazard to the safety of personnel or the environment, and establish a monitoring system for the rest, all the while working towards elimination of the problem.

The MMS is currently addressing the issue of casing pressure in a 1994 Letter
