Federal Employees Retirement

System—Computation of the Basic

Employee Death Benefit for Customer

Officers

AGENCY: Office of Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel

Management (OPM) is issuing final

regulations concerning the use of

overtime and premium pay in

determining the final annual rate of

basic pay of customs officers under the

Federal Employees Retirement System

(FERS). These regulations establish the

methodology (similar to the one that

OPM uses for other flexible schedule

employees) that the employing agency

will use to compute customs officers’

‘‘final annual rate of basic pay’’ for

determining FERS ‘‘basic employee

death benefit.’’ The regulations are

necessary to implement the changes in

the statutory definition of basic pay

under FERS made by the Omnibus

Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 10, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Harold L. Siegelman, (202) 606–0299.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

October 5, 1994, we published (at 59 FR

50705) proposed regulations to

implement section 13812 of the

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of

1993, Pub. L. 103–66, concerning the

use of overtime and premium pay in

determining the final annual rate of

basic pay of customs officers under the

Federal Employees Retirement System

(FERS). Section 13812 of Pub. L. 103–

66 amended section 8331(3) of title 5,

United States Code, the definition of

basic pay under the Civil Service

Retirement System (CSRS), to include,

as basic pay for CSRS computations,

certain overtime pay for customs

officers. Section 8401(4) of title 5,

United States Code, provides that the

CSRS definition of basic pay in section

8331(3) applies to FERS. For customs

officers, basic pay includes the regular

pay under the general schedule, any

applicable locality pay, and allowable

overtime pay up to $12,500 per fiscal

year. Basic pay is used to compute final

salary for the basic employee death

benefit under FERS.

We proposed a methodology for

determining final salary similar to the

one used for determining the ‘‘final

annual rate of basic pay’’ of intermittent

employees for the FERS basic employee

death benefit established in section

843.102 of Title 5, Code of Federal

Regulations. We received no comments

on the proposed regulations. We are

now issuing final regulations to adopt

that methodology.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

I certify that this regulation will not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities

because the regulation will only affect

Federal employees and agencies and

retirement payments to retired

Government employees and their

survivors.

BENEFITS AND EMPLOYEE REFUNDS

1. The authority citation for part 843

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 5 U.S.C. 8461; §§ 843.205,

843,208, and 843.209 also issued under 5

U.S.C. 8424; § 843.309 also issued under 5

U.S.C. 8442; § 843.406 also issued under 5

U.S.C. 8441.

2. In the definition of final annual

rate of basic pay in section 843.102,

paragraph (d) is added to read as

* * * * *

Final annual rate of basic pay * * *

(d) The annual pay for customs

officers is the sum of the employee’s

hourly rate of pay times the number of

hours for which the employee was paid

two times salary as compensation for

overtime inspectional service under

section 5(a) of the Act of February 11,

1911 (19 U.S.C. 261 and 267) plus three

times the employee’s final hourly rate of

pay times the number of hours for

which the employee was paid three

times salary as compensation for

overtime inspectional service under

section 5(a) in the 52-week work year

immediately preceding the end of the

last pay period in which the employee

was in pay status; or

14 CFR Part 95

[Docket No. 28108; Amdt. No. 388]

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts

miscellaneous amendments to the

required IFR (instrument flight rules)

altitudes and changeover points for

certain Federal airways, jet routes, or

direct routes for which a minimum or

maximum en route authorized IFR

altitude is prescribed. This regulatory

action is needed because of changes

occurring in the National Airspace

System. These changes are designed to

provide for the safe and efficient use of

the navigable airspace under instrument

conditions in the affected areas.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 30,

1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul

J. Best, Flight Procedures Standards

Branch (AFS–420), Technical Programs

Division, Flight Standards Service

Federal Aviation Administration, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202)

267–8277.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 95 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95)

amends, suspends, or revokes IFR

altitudes governing the operation of all

aircraft in flight over a specified route

or any portion of that route, as well as

the changeover points (COPs) for

Federal airways, jet routes, or direct

routes as prescribed in part 95.

The rule specified IFR altitudes, when

used in conjunction with the prescribed

changeover points for those routes,

ensure navigation aid coverage that is

adequate for safe flight operations and

free of frequency interference. The

reasons and circumstances that create

the need for this amendment involve

matters of flight safety and operational

efficiency in the National Airspace

System, are related to published

aeronautical charts that are essential to

the user, and provide for the safe and

efficient use of the navigable airspace.

In addition, those various reasons or

circumstances require making this

amendment effective before the next

scheduled charting and publication date

of the flight information to assure its

timely availability to the user. The

effective date of this amendment reflects

those considerations. In view of the

close and immediate relationship

between these regulatory changes and

safety in air commerce, I find that notice

and public procedure before adopting

this amendment are impracticable and

contrary to the public interest and that

good cause exists for making the

amendment effective in less than 30

days. 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.

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.

For the same reason, the FAA certifies

that this amendment will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
