Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Emmetsburg, IA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

accommodate Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAPs) at Emmetsburg 

Municipal Airport, Emmetsburg, IA. 

The FAA is taking this action to 

enhance the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations

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.

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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

comments or questions on procedural 

issues, contact Kirk Malstrom, Office of 

Offshore Regulatory Programs, 

Regulations and Standards Branch, 703– 

787–1751. For questions on technical 

issues, contact Russell Hoshman, 

Technical Assessment and Operations 

Support Section, Gulf of Mexico Outer 

Continental Shelf Region, 504–736– 

2627. 

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
