Revision of Authority Citations

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule adopts new authority citations for Chapter I of 
Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). In 1994, the Federal 
Aviation Act of 1958 and several other statutes conferring authority 
upon the Federal Aviation Administration were recodified into positive 
law. This document updates the authority citations listed in the Code 
of Federal Regulations to reference the current law.

DATES: This final rule is effective December 28, 1995. Comments on this 
final rule must be received by March 1, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this final rule should be mailed, in triplicate, 
to: Federal Aviation Administration, Office of the Chief Counsel, 
Attention: Rules Docket (AGC-200), Docket No. 28417, 800 Independence 
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20951. Comments delivered must be marked 
Docket No. 28417. Comments may be examined in room 915G weekdays 
between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., except on Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Petronis, Office of the Chief 
Counsel, Regulations Division, AGC-210, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591; 
telephone: 202-267-3073.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In July 1994, the Federal Aviation Act of 
1958 and numerous other pieces of legislation affecting transportation 
in general were recodified. The statutory material became ``positive 
law'' and was recodified at 49 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.
    The Federal Aviation Administration is amending the authority 
citations for its regulations in Chapter I of 14 CFR to reflect the 
recodification of its statutory authority. No substantive change was 
intended to any statutory authority by the recodification, and no 
substantive change is introduced to any regulation by this change.
    Although this action is in the form of a final rule and was not 
preceded by notice and an opportunity for public comment, comments are 
invited on this action. Interested persons are invited to comment by 
submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they may desire by 
March 1, 1996. Comments should identify the rules docket number and be 
submitted to the address specified under the caption ADDRESSES.
    Because of the editorial nature of this change, it has been 
determined that prior notice is unnecessary under the Administrative 
Procedure Act. It has also been determined that this final rule is not 
a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866, nor is 
it a significant action under DOT regulatory policies and procedures 
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979). Further, the editorial nature of this 
change has no known or anticipated economic impact; accordingly, no 
regulatory analysis has been prepared.
