Volume 61, Number 85
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Transportation.
SUMMARY: The Department is amending its regulations on staff assignments and review of action under assignments to remove or update obsolete provisions and organizational references, and reorder the sequence of assignments in a more logical manner and to more closely reflect the Department's staff organization.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The rule shall become effective on May 31, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carol A. Woods, Air Carrier Fitness Division, X-56, Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20590, (202) 366-9721.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In his Regulatory Reinvention Initiative Memorandum of March 4, 1995, President Clinton directed Federal agencies to conduct a page-by-page review of all of their regulations and to ``eliminate or revise those that are outdated or otherwise in need of reform.'' In response to that directive, the Department has undertaken a review of its aviation economic regulations as contained in 14 CFR Chapter II. This rule is one result of those efforts. Subsequent rulemakings will address other regulations.
In this rulemaking part 385 is being amended to remove or update obsolete provisions and organizational references, to replace references to the Federal Aviation Act with references to Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United States Code (Transportation), and to reorder and renumber the assignments in a more logical manner and to more closely reflect the Department's staff organization.
Current Sec. 385.13--Authority of the Director, Office of International Aviation, and Sec. 385.14--Authority of the Director, Office of Aviation Analysis (new Sec. 385.12), are being revised to eliminate authorities no longer used, to extend the authority for routine procedural decisions to additional cases (e.g., to add authority to dismiss certificate applications for lack of prosecution, to request applicants to provide additional information, to authorize the refund of filing fees due to the withdrawal or dismissal of an application at an early stage without the issuance of the requested authority), and to reorganize and renumber the authorities in a more logical sequence.
Current Sec. 385.27--Authority of the Director, Office of Aviation Information Management, Research and Special Programs Administration (new Sec. 385.19), and Sec. 385.28--Authority of the Director, Office of Administrative Operations (new Sec. 385.21), are being amended to reflect changes in functions and names of organizations. In addition, newly designated Sec. 385.21(b) is being removed since the delegation of authority for this function is now contained in 49 CFR 89.5--
Collection of Claims Owed the United States.
Current Sec. 385.30, which contains the authority assigned to the Director, Office of Community and Consumer Affairs, is being removed as unnecessary. As part of a staff reorganization, the functions of that office became part of the Office of the General Counsel.
The Department has analyzed the economic and other effects of the amendments and has determined that they are not ``significant'' within the meaning of Executive Order 12866. The amendment will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or communities. It will not create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency, and it will not materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof. Nor does it raise any novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in Executive Order 12866. The rule is considered ``nonsignificant'' under Executive Order 12866 and was not reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
The amendments are not significant under the Department's Regulatory Policies and Procedures, dated February 26, 1979, because they do not involve important Departmental policies; rather, they are being made solely for the purposes of eliminating obsolete requirements, correcting out-of-date references, and enhancing the organization of the regulations used by the Department to administer its aviation economic regulatory functions. The Department has also determined that issuance of this rule will have no economic impact.
In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Department has evaluated the effects of this action on small entities. For purposes of its aviation economic regulations, Departmental policy categorizes air carriers operating small aircraft (60 seats or less or 18,000 pounds maximum payload or less) as small entities for purposes of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Based upon this evaluation, the Department certifies that the amendment would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Executive Order 12612 (Federalism)
These amendments have been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 12612. The Department has determined that the amendments do not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment. The amendments will not have a substantial direct effect 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.
The Department has also analyzed the amendments for the purpose of the National Environmental Policy Act. The amendments will not have any significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
There are no reporting or recordkeeping requirements associated with the amendments.
Notice and Opportunity for Public Comment Unnecessary
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553), the Department determines that notice and an opportunity for public comment are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. The amendments made in this document are ministerial, removing obsolete and redundant material or making minor technical and terminology changes. These changes will have no substantive impact, and the Department would not anticipate receiving meaningful comments on them. Comment is therefore unnecessary, and it would be contrary to the public interest to delay unnecessarily this effort to eliminate or revise outdated rules.
