14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2012–0586; Airspace 

Docket No. 12–ASO–29] 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; La 

Belle, FL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E Airspace at La Belle, FL, to 

accommodate the new Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures at La Belle Municipal 

Airport. This action enhances the safety 

and airspace management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations within the 

National Airspace System. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, January 10, 

2013. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.9 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 5, 2012, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

establish Class E airspace at La Belle, FL 

(77 FR 39652) Docket No. FAA–2012– 

0586. 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 7400.9W dated 

August 8, 2012, and effective September 

15, 2012, 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 amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at La Belle, FL, to provide the controlled 

airspace required to accommodate the 

new RNAV GPS Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures developed for La 

Belle 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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore, (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 United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 establishes controlled airspace at La 

Belle Municipal Airport, La Belle, FL. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

18 CFR Parts 4, 5, 16, 33, 34, 35, 157, 

348, 375, 385 and 388 

[Docket No. RM12–2–000; Order No. 769] 

Filing of Privileged Materials and 

Answers to Motions 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, DOE. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this Final Rule, the 

Commission revises its rules and 

regulations relating to the filing of 

privileged material in keeping with the 

Commission’s efforts to comply with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, the 

Government Paperwork Elimination Act 

and the E-Government Act of 2002. 

First, the Commission establishes two 

categories of privileged material for 

filing purposes: Privileged material and 

critical energy infrastructure 

information. This revision will expand 

the ability to file electronically by 

permitting electronic filing of materials 

subject to Administrative Law Judge 

protective orders as appropriate. 

Second, the Commission revises its 

regulations to provide a single set of 

uniform procedures for filing privileged 

materials. These revisions continue the 

Commission’s effort to reassess and 

streamline its regulations to ensure that 

they are efficient, effective and up to 

date. 

Also, the Commission revises Rule 

213(d) of its Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, which establishes the 

timeline for filing answers to motions, 

to clarify that the standard fifteen day 

reply time will not apply to motions 

requesting an extension of time or a 

shortened time period for action. 

Instead, the Commission proposes to set 

the time for responding to such motions 

at five days, unless another time period 

is established by notice based on the 

circumstances. 

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is 

effective December 28, 2012.
