15000 Aviation Boulevard, Lawndale, 

California 90261, telephone (310) 725–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

action will establish a Class E enroute 

domestic airspace area west of San Luis 

Obispo to contain aircraft while in 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) conditions 

and under control of Santa Barbara 

Terminal Radar Approach Control 

(TRACON). On November 2, 2005, 

airspace will be transferred from Los 

Angeles Air Route Traffic Control 

Center (ARTCC) to Santa Barbara 

TRACON. In order to provide positive 

control of aircraft in this area, the 

airspace must be designated as 

controlled airspace. 

Class E enroute domestic airspace 

areas are published in Paragraph 6006 of 

FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 

2005, and effective September 16, 2005, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The class E airspace 

designation listed in this document 

would be published subsequently in 

this Order. 

The Direct Final Rule Procedure 

The FAA anticipates that this 

regulation will not result in adverse or 

negative comment and therefore is 

issuing it as a direct final rule. Unless 

a written adverse or negative comment, 

or a written notice of intent to submit 

an adverse or negative comment is 

received within the comment period, 

the regulation will become effective on 

the date specified above. After the close 

of the comment period, the FAA will 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register indicating that no adverse or 

negative comments were received and 

confirming the date on which the final 

rule will become effective. If the FAA 

does receive, within the comment 

period, an adverse or negative comment, 

or written notice of intent to submit 

such a comment, a document 

withdrawing the direct final rule will be 

published in the Federal Register, and 

a notice of proposed rulemaking may be 

published with a new comment period. 

Comments Invited 

Although this action is in the form of 

a final rule and was not preceded by a 

notice of proposed rulemaking, 

comments are invited on this rule. 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on this rule by submitting 

such written data, views, and arguments 

as they may desire. Communications 

should identify the Rules Docket 

number and be submitted in triplicate to 

the address specified under the caption 

ADDRESSES. All communications 

received on or before the closing date 

for comments will be considered, and 

this rule may be amended or withdrawn 

in light of the comments received. 

Factual information that supports the 

commenter’s ideas and suggestions is 

extremely helpful in evaluating the 

effectiveness of this action and 

determining whether additional 

rulemaking action would be needed. 

Comments are specifically invited on 

the overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

the rule that might suggest a need to 

modify the rule. All comments 

submitted will be available, both before 

and after the closing date for comments, 

in the Rules Docket for examination by 

interested persons. A report that 

summarizes each FAA-public contact 

concerned with the substance of this 

action will be filed in the Rules Docket. 

Commenters wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

submitted in response to this rule must 

submit a self-addressed, stamped 

postcard on which the following 

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to 

Docket No. 05–AWP–12.’’ The postcard 

will be date stamped and returned to the 

commenter. 

Agency Findings 

The regulations adopted herein will 

not have substantial direct effects on the 

State, 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, in 

accordance with Executive Order 12612, 

it is determined that this final rule does 

not have sufficient federalism 

implications to warrant the preparation 

of a Federalism Assessment. 

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, 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 11304; 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 than will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

2003 of The Transportation Equity Act 

for the 21st Century (TEA–21), Public 

Law 105–178 (1998) established a new 

occupant protection incentive grant 

program under Section 405 of Title 23, 

United States Code. Under this program, 

States could qualify for incentive grant 

funds by adopting and implementing 

effective programs to reduce highway 

deaths and injuries resulting from 

individuals riding unrestrained or 

improperly restrained in motor vehicles. 

The program, which made grant funds 

available from fiscal year (FY) 1998 

through FY 2003, was designed to 

stimulate increased safety belt and child 

safety seat use. Funding was continued 

through FY 2005 by Congressional 

appropriations extending TEA–21 grant 

programs. 

On August 10, 2005, the President 

signed into law the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act—A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–

LU), Public Law 109–59. SAFETEA–LU 

extends the occupant protection 

incentive grant program from FY 2006 

through FY 2009 by amending 

provisions of 23 U.S.C. 405. The 

legislation updates a grant condition 

that previously required States to 

maintain occupant protection program 

spending from other sources at or above 

average levels from the two fiscal years 

prior to the enactment of TEA–21 (FY 

1996–1997). As amended, 23 U.S.C. 

405(a)(2) now requires States to 

maintain spending from other sources at 

or above average levels from the two 

fiscal years prior to the enactment of 

SAFETEA–LU (FY 2003–2004). The 

legislation increases the amount of 

funds to which a State is entitled by 

amending the apportionment percentage 

and updating the fiscal year under 

405(c). Prior to the amendment, a State 

was entitled to an amount equal to 25 

percent of its Section 402 

apportionment for FY 1997. A State now 

is entitled to an amount equal to 100 

percent of its section 402 apportionment 

for FY 2003. The legislation also 

specifies that grant funds may be 

transferred among programs authorized 

under 23 U.S.C. 405, 408, and 410. The 

previous legislation, TEA–21, 

authorized the transfer of funds among 

programs authorized under 23 U.S.C. 

405, 410, and 411. 

SAFETEA–LU amends section 

405(a)(4) to specify the Federal share to 

which a State is entitled. While the new 

program begins in FY 2006, the Federal 

share is based on the number of fiscal 

years, beginning after September 30, 

2003, that the State has received a grant 

under the Section 405 program. Thus, 

counting back to FY 2004, for the first 

or second year in which a State receives 

a grant, the Federal share must not 

exceed 75 percent; for the third or 

fourth year, the Federal share must not 

exceed 50 percent; and for the fifth or 

sixth year, the Federal share must not 

exceed 25 percent. The determination of 

the Federal share for the predecessor 

program under Section 405 remains 

unchanged. 

This document amends the provisions 

of 23 CFR part 1345 to reflect these 

statutory changes and to extend the 

occupant protection incentive grant 

program through FY 2009. We are 

amending § 1345.4(a)(1)(iv) to indicate 

that States must maintain aggregate 

expenditures from other sources at or 

above the average level of expenditures 

in FY 2003–2004. We are amending 

§ 1345.4(b)(1) to specify that the amount 

of a grant shall be equal to 100 percent 

of the amount apportioned to the State 

under 23 U.S.C. 402 for FY 2003. We are 

making a number of other changes to 

§ 1345.4(b) to specify the Federal share, 

based on the number of years that a 

State participates in the program. We 

are amending § 1345.6 to indicate that 

unobligated funds from this grant 

program may be transferred to programs 

authorized under 23 U.S.C. 408 and 410. 

To clarify the application and 

certification process for State 

participants under the new legislation, 

we are adding definitions for ‘‘first fiscal 

year’’ and ‘‘subsequent fiscal years’’ in 

§ 1345.3. We are also eliminating 

references to ‘‘section 2003 of TEA–21.’’

We are changing the application due 

date in § 1345.4(a)(4) from August 1 of 

the applicable fiscal year to February 15. 

We believe that an earlier application 

due date is appropriate for the new 

program because less lead time is 

necessary for States to submit 

applications under the extension of this 

well-established program. The new due 

date will allow these grant funds to be 

awarded in time for spring national 

safety belt mobilization campaigns. We 

are soliciting comments from the States 

on this change in the application due 

date. 

These technical amendments are 

mostly conforming amendments and 

will not impose or relax any substantive 

requirements or burdens on State grant 

participants. Therefore, we find good 

cause that notice and opportunity for 

comment on these amendments (with 

the exception of the change in 

application due date) are not necessary 

under the Administrative Procedures 

Act. We also find good cause to limit the 

period for comment on the change in 

the application due date to 30 days. A 

limited comment period is necessary to 

give States adequate time after the 

effective date of the final rule to submit 

applications. A limited comment period 

is also justified because we are soliciting 

comment on a single issue. 

Statutory Basis for This Interim Final 

Rule 

The statutory basis for this rule is the 

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act—A Legacy 

for Users (SAFETEA-LU), Public Law 

109–59 (2005). SAFETEA-LU extends 

the occupant protection incentive grant 

program from FY 2006 through FY 2009 

by amending provisions of 23 U.S.C. 

405. 

69080 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 218 / Monday, November 14, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 

Regulatory Analyses and Notices 

A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

Executive Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory 

Planning and Review’’ (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993), provides for making 

determinations whether a regulatory 

action is ‘‘significant’’ and therefore 

subject to Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) review and to the 

requirements of the Executive Order. 

This rulemaking document is not 

significant under Executive Order 12866 

or the Department of Transportation’s 

(DOT) regulatory policies and 

procedures. (44 FR 11034, February 26, 

1979). The effect of this rulemaking 

action is to make technical amendments 

to the regulation governing the 

Occupant Protection Incentive Grant 

program, in light of new legislation 

extending the program. It will not 

impose any additional burden on any 

person. The agency believes that this 

impact is minimal and does not warrant 

the preparation of a regulatory 

evaluation. 

B. Environmental Impacts 

We have not conducted an evaluation 

of the impacts of this interim final rule 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act. This rulemaking action 

makes technical amendments to the 

regulation governing the Occupant 

Protection Incentive Grant program, in 

light of new legislation extending the 

program. This rulemaking does not 

impose any change that would have any 

environmental impacts. Accordingly, no 

environmental assessment is required. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, we have considered the impacts of 

this rulemaking action on small entities 

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). I certify that this 

rulemaking action will not have a 

significant economic impact upon a 

substantial number of small entities 

within the context of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. The interim final rule 

makes technical amendments to a 

regulation governing the Occupant 

Protection Incentive Grant Program. 

States are the recipients of any funds 

awarded under this program, and they 

are not considered to be small entities, 

as that term is defined in the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. Accordingly, we have 

not prepared a Final Regulatory 

Flexibility Analysis. 

D. Executive Order 13132, Federalism 

E.O. 13132 requires NHTSA to 

develop an accountable process to 

ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input by 

State and local officials in the 

development of regulatory policies that 

have federalism implications.’’ This 

interim final rule does not change the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States, or the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government as specified in E.O. 

13132. This interim final rule merely 

extends the occupant protection 

incentive grant program through FY 

2009, as directed by statute. We are 

soliciting public comment on one 

substantive change made in this interim 

final rule—the change in application 

due date in Section 1345.4(b)(4) from 

August 1 of the applicable fiscal year to 

February 15. 

E. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This interim final rule does not add 

any new information collection 

requirements, as that term is defined by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) in 5 CFR part 1320. The existing 

requirements have been submitted 

previously to and approved by OMB, 

pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.). These 

requirements have been approved under 

OMB No. 2127–0600, through April 30, 

2008. 

F. The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4) requires 

agencies to prepare a written assessment 

of the costs, benefits and other effects of 

proposed or final rules that include a 

Federal mandate likely to result in the 

expenditure by State, local or tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of more than $100 

million annually. This action will not 

result in additional expenditures by 

state, local or tribal governments or by 

any members of the private sector. 

Therefore, the agency has not prepared 

an economic assessment pursuant to the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. 

G. Civil Justice Reform 

This interim final rule does not have 

any retroactive effect. A petition for 

reconsideration or other administrative 

proceedings are not required before 

parties may file suit in court. 

H. Privacy Act 

Anyone is able to search the 

electronic form of all comments 

received into any of our dockets by the 

name of the individual submitting the 

comment (or signing the comment, if 

submitted on behalf of an association, 

business, labor union, etc.). You may

Statement in the Federal Register
