Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 7, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
and expeditious flow of civil air traffic.
The purpose of Article 12 and Annex 11
is to ensure that civil aircraft operations
on international air routes are
performed under uniform conditions.
The International Standards and
Recommended Practices in Annex 11
apply to airspace under the jurisdiction
of a contracting state, derived from
ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when
air traffic services are provided and a
contracting state accepts the
responsibility of providing air traffic
services over high seas or in airspace of
undetermined sovereignty. A
contracting state accepting this
responsibility may apply the
International Standards and
Recommended Practices that are
consistent with standards and practices
utilized in its domestic jurisdiction.
In accordance with Article 3 of the
Convention, state-owned aircraft are
exempt from the Standards and
Recommended Practices of Annex 11.
The United States is a contracting state
to the Convention. Article 3(d) of the
Convention provides that participating
state aircraft will be operated in
international airspace with due regard
for the safety of civil aircraft. Since this
action involves, in part, the designation
of navigable airspace outside the United
States, the Administrator is consulting
with the Secretary of State and the
Secretary of Defense in accordance with
the provisions of Executive Order
10854.
Control 1487L [Amended]
That airspace extending upward from
8,000 feet MSL within 149.5 miles of the
Anchorage VOR/DME clockwise from the
090° radial to the 185° radial of the

extending upward from 5,500 feet MSL

NDB; and that airspace extending upward
from 700 feet MSL within 14 miles of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 13, 2006, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking to modify the
Control 1234L offshore airspace area in
Alaska (71 FR 19148). Interested parties
were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal. No
comments were received.
Offshore Airspace Areas are
published in paragraph 6007 of FAA
Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005
and effective September 15, 2005, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Offshore Airspace Areas listed
in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
modifying Control 1234L Offshore
Airspace Area, AK by lowering the floor
to 700 feet AGL in the vicinity of the St.
Paul Island Airport, AK, and 1,200 feet
AGL within a 73-mile radius of the
airport. The action is to establish
controlled airspace to support IFR
operations at the St. Paul Island Airport,
Alaska. The FAA Instrument Flight
Procedures Production and
Maintenance Branch developed new
instrument approach procedures for the
St. Paul Island Airport. New controlled
airspace extending upward from 700
feet AGL and 1,200 feet AGL in
international airspace is created by this
action.
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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 7, 2006 / Rules and Regulations

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not
a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (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 will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
ICAO Considerations
As part of this rule relates to
navigable airspace outside the United
States, the notice of this action is
submitted in accordance with the
International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) International
Standards and Recommended Practices.
The application of International
Standards and Recommended Practices
by the FAA, Office of System
Operations Airspace and AIM, Airspace
& Rules, in areas outside the United
States domestic airspace, is governed by
the Convention on International Civil
Aviation. Specifically, the FAA is
governed by Article 12 and Annex 11,
which pertain to the establishment of
necessary air navigational facilities and
services to promote the safe, orderly,
and expeditious flow of civil air traffic.
The purpose of Article 12 and Annex 11
is to ensure that civil aircraft operations
on international air routes are
performed under uniform conditions.
The International Standards and
Recommended Practices in Annex 11
apply to airspace under the jurisdiction
of a contracting state, derived from
ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when
air traffic services are provided and a
contracting state accepts the
responsibility of providing air traffic

responsibility may apply the
International Standards and
Recommended Practices that are

In accordance with Article 3 of the

ACTION:
Interim final rule.
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is issuing this
interim final rule to amend its
regulations to establish a new exception
from the general requirements for
informed consent, to permit the use of
investigational in vitro diagnostic
devices to identify chemical, biological,
radiological, or nuclear agents without
informed consent in certain
circumstances. The agency is taking this
action because it is concerned that,
during a potential terrorism event or
other potential public health emergency,
delaying the testing of specimens to
obtain informed consent may threaten
the life of the subject. In many
instances, there may also be others who
have been exposed to, or who may be
at risk of exposure to, a dangerous
chemical, biological, radiological, or
nuclear agent, thus necessitating
identification of the agent as soon as
possible. FDA is creating this exception
to help ensure that individuals who may
have been exposed to a chemical,
biological, radiological, or nuclear agent
are able to benefit from the timely use
of the most appropriate diagnostic
devices, including those that are
investigational.
This rule is effective June 7,
2006. Submit written or electronic
comments by August 7, 2006.
