SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

13 CFR Part 108

RIN 3245–AE40

New Markets Venture Capital Program:

Delay of Effective Date

AGENCY: Office of New Markets Venture

Capital, Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective

date.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

memorandum of January 20, 2001, from

the Assistant to the President and Chief

of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Review

Plan,’’ published in the Federal Register

on January 24, 2001, this action

temporarily delays for 60 days the

effective date of the rule entitled New

Markets Venture Capital Program

published in the Federal Register on

January 22, 2001, 66 FR 7218. The New

Markets Venture Capital Program final

rule adds new regulations to implement

the New Markets Venture Capital

Program Act of 2000 (‘‘the Act’’). The

Act authorizes SBA to issue regulations

necessary to implement the program.

The regulations set forth the

requirements for newly-formed venture

capital companies to: qualify to become

New Markets Venture Capital

(‘‘NMVC’’) companies; to make

developmental venture capital

investments in smaller enterprises

located in low-income geographic areas;

provide operational assistance to

enterprises receiving such investments;

and allow existing Specialized Small

Business Investment Companies

(‘‘SSBICs’’) to qualify for grants to

provide operational assistance to

smaller enterprises located in lowincome geographic areas.

To the extent that 5 U.S.C. section 553

applies to this action, it is exempt from

notice and comment because it

constitutes a rule of procedure under 5

U.S.C. section 553(b)(A). Alternatively,

the Agency’s implementation of this

rule without opportunity for public

comment, effective immediately upon

publication today in the Federal

Register, is based on the good cause

exceptions in 5 U.S.C. section 553(b)(B)

and 553(d)(3), in that seeking public

comment is impracticable, unnecessary

and contrary to the public interest. The

temporary 60-day delay in effective date

is necessary to give Agency officials the

opportunity for further review and

consideration of new regulations,

consistent with the Assistant to the

President’s memorandum of January 20,

2001. Given the imminence of the

effective date, seeking prior public

comment on this temporary delay

would have been impractical, as well as

contrary to the public interest in the

orderly promulgation and

implementation of regulations.

DATES: The effective date of the New

Markets Venture Capital Program

published in the Federal Register on

January 22, 2001, at 66 FR 7218, is

delayed for 60 days, from February 21,

2001, to a new effective date of April 23,

2001.

[Airspace Docket No. 2001–ASW–04]

Revocation of Class D Airspace, Fort

Worth Carswell AFB, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This amendment revokes

Class D airspace at Fort Worth Carswell

AFB, TX. This action is prompted by the

need to eliminate the duplicate airspace

designations for airspace in the Fort

Worth, TX area. On December 17, 2000,

a final rule revising the Class D airspace

at Naval Air Station (NAS) Joint Reserve

Base (JRB) Carswell Field, Fort Worth,

TX, was published in the Federal

Register (64 FR 70565). That action

included the Class D airspace that was

already published that encompassed the

closed Carswell AFB, TX. The intended

effect of this rule is to eliminate the

duplication of the controlled airspace

for aircraft operating in the vicinity of

NAS JRB Carswell Field, Fort Worth, TX

area.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, July 12,

2001. Comments must be received on or

before April 6, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the rule

in triplicate to Manager, Airspace

Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal

Aviation Administration, Southwest

Region, Docket No. 2001–ASW–04, Fort

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 revokes

Class D airspace at Fort Worth Carswell

AFB, TX. This action is prompted by the

need to eliminate the duplicate airspace

designations for airspace in the Fort

Worth, TX area. On December 17, 2000,

a final rule revising the Class D airspace

at Naval Air Station (NAS) Joint Reserve

Base (JRB) Carswell Field, Fort Worth,

TX, was published in the Federal

Register (64 FR 70565). That action

included the Class D airspace that was

already published that encompassed the

closed Carswell AFB, TX. The intended

effect of this rule is to eliminate the

duplication of the controlled airspace

for aircraft operating in the vicinity of

NAS JRB Carswell Field, Fort Worth, TX

area.

10812 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 20, 2001 / Rules and Regulations

Class D airspace designations are

published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA

Order 7400.9H, dated September 1,

2000, and effective September 16, 2000,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace

designation listed in this document will

be published subsequently in the 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. A

substantial number of previous

opportunities provided to the public to

comment on substantially identical

actions have resulted in negligible

adverse comments or objections. 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 will be

published in the Federal Register. This

document may withdraw the direct final

rule in whole or in part. After

considering the adverse or negative

comment, we may publish another

direct final rule or publish a notice of

proposed rulemaking 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, or 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 is 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. 2001–ASW–04.’’ 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

States, 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, it is

determined that this final rule will not

have federalism implications under

Executive Order 13132.

Further, the FAA has determined that

this regulation is noncontroversial and

unlikely to result in adverse or negative

comments and only involves an

established body of technical

regulations that require frequent and

routine amendments to keep them

operationally current. Therefore, I

certify that 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 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) if

promulgated, will not have a significant

economic impact, positive or negative,

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexbility Act. Since this rule involves

routine matters that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

does not warrant preparation of a

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis because

the anticipated impact is so minimal.
