The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

establish Class E airspace extending

upward from 700 feet above the surface

at Richlands, VA. A GPS RWY 25 SIAP

has been developed for Tazewell County

Airport. Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface is needed to accommodate

this SIAP and for IFR operations at the

airport. The area would be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts. Class E

airspace designations for airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface are published in Paragraph

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C, dated

August 17, 1995, and effective

September 16, 1995, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document would be

published subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

established body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore, this proposed 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 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 would only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule

would not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 5 / Monday, January 8, 1996 / Proposed Rules 553

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to revise

the regulations which govern the

procedures for payments under

Judgments and Private Relief Acts. It

specifically addresses the procedures for

applying for payments, and clarifies the

payment process. These revisions are

intended to provide greater clarity and

understanding by replacing obsolete

references and unnecessary

requirements with current references

and requirements.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before February 7, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be

addressed to Charles F. Schwan III,

Director, Funds Management Division,

Financial Management Service, Room

620D, 3700 East-West Highway,

Hyattsville, MD 20782 or by FAX to the

attention of Charles Schwan on (202)

Director, Funds Management Division;

or Bernice Mays, (202) 874–8652,

Accountant, Credit Accounting Branch.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The proposed revision will update the

procedure for making claims. This will

benefit claimants by reducing the

requirements that must be followed in

order to receive payment on judgments

against the United States. This

regulation currently sets a threshold for

judgment claims greater than $100,000

and judgment claims equal to or less

than $100,000. The change would

eliminate the $100,000 threshold

distinction for processing a claim.

Rulemaking Analysis

It has been determined that this

regulation is not a significant regulatory

action as defined in Executive Order

12866. Accordingly, a regulatory

assessment is not required. It is hereby

certified that this revision will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

Accordingly, a regulatory flexibility

analysis is not required. This change

will clarify the regulation.

List of Subjects in 31 CFR Part 256

Claims, Administrative practices and

procedures.

For the reasons set forth in the

preamble, 31 CFR part 256 is proposed

to be revised to read as follows:

PART 256—PAYMENTS UNDER

JUDGMENTS AND PRIVATE RELIEF

ACTS

Sec.

256.1 Judgments against the United States.

256.2 Payment of sums appropriated in

private relief acts.

Authority: 28 U.S.C. 2414; 31 U.S.C. 1304.

§ 256.1 Judgments against the United

States.

(a) Persons securing money judgments

against the United States in the U.S.

Court of Federal Claims are required to

file original transcripts of such

judgments with the Comptroller General

of the U.S. General Accounting Office

(GAO) in order to secure payment. In

addition, the U.S. Department of Justice

submits a voucher for payment with

supporting documents to the GAO on

behalf of the claimants. The GAO

certifies payment on a Certificate of

Settlement to the U.S. Treasury

Department, Financial Management

Service (FMS).

(b) For persons securing money

judgments against the United States in

the U.S. district courts, the same

procedures as described in paragraph (a)

of this section apply, except that all of

the necessary paperwork is forwarded

directly to the GAO by the U.S.

Department of Justice. Neither a filing

nor a request for payment is required

from the claimant securing a judgment.

The GAO verifies that the voucher is

proper for payment from the Judgment

fund and transmits a certified award to

FMS.

(c) Payment is made to the claimant

in accordance with the instructions as

stated in the certified award.

§ 256.2 Payment of sums appropriated in

private relief acts.

Persons entitled to payment of sums

appropriated in private relief acts

should make application for payment to

the Credit Accounting Branch, Financial

Management Service, Treasury

Department, Hyattsville, MD 20782.

Upon receipt of an application, bearing

the signature and mailing address of the

beneficiary, the Credit Accounting

Branch will initiate the necessary

review of the applicable private law and

will effect payment in accordance with

the private law.

Dated: November 22, 1995.

Commissioner.
