significant under the regulatory policies

and procedures of the Department of

redundant provisisons, it will not

impose any costs on the public.

will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

14 CFR Part 399

RIN 2105–AC54

Interlocking Relationships Between an

Air Carrier and a Person Controlling

Another Air Carrier

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; removal.

SUMMARY: This action removes a

outdated policy statement of the Civil

Aeronautics Board concerning

interlocking agreements between an air

carrier and a person controlling an air

carrier. The action is in response to the

President’s Regulatory Reinvention

Initiative and is designed to eliminate

an obsolete provision.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 12, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Alexander J. Millard, Office of the

General Counsel, Room 4102, U.S.

Department of Transportation, 400

Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.

20590, or by telephone at (202) 366–

9285.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

regulation was promulgated by the nowdefunct Civil Aeronautics Board in 1967

(32 FR 3818, March 8, 1967). The Civil

Aeronautics Board issued this

regulation to make it clear that section

409 was to be interpreted as prohibiting

interlocking relationships between an

air carrier and a person controlling an

air carrier. Section 409, however, along

with the authority of the Secretary of

Transportation under this section,

ceased to be effective on January 1,

1989. See Civil Aeronautics Board

Sunset Act of 1984, Public Law 98–443,

98 Stat. 1703, section 3(c)(7).

Consequently, the instant regulation is

obsolete and should be removed.

This final rule is considered to be a

nonsignificant rulemaking under DOT’s

regulatory policies and procedures, 44

FR 11034. The final rule was not subject

to review by the Office of Information

and Regulatory Affairs pursuant to

Executive Order 12866. The rule will

have no economic impact, and

accordingly no regulatory evaluation

has been prepared. The final rule has

been analyzed in accordance with the

principles and criteria contained in

Executive Order 12612, and it has been

determined that it does not have

sufficient federalism implications to

warrant the preparation of a Federalism

Assessment. The rule has also been

reviewed under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act. I certify that this rule

would not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the meaning of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act. There are no

paperwork burdens associated with this

rule under the Paperwork Reduction

Act. Because this rule simply removes

an obsolete provision, notice and

comment are unnecessary and contrary

to the public interest.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 399

Administrative practice and

procedure, Air carriers, Air rates and

fares, Air taxis, Consumer protection,

Small business.

For the reasons set forth above, the

Department of Transportation is

follows:

2. Section 399.92 is removed.

Issued this 31st day of May 1996 at
