Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 136 / Monday, July 17, 2006 / Proposed Rules
700/1200 foot transition areas are
published in paragraph 6005 in FAA
Order 7400.9N, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated September
1, 2005, and effective September 15,
2005, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations 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. It,
therefore—(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 will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this 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.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated
under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart 1, Section
40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace.
Under that section, the FAA is charged
with prescribing regulations to ensure
the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace. This regulation is
within the scope of that authority
because it proposes to create Class E
airspace sufficient in size to contain
aircraft executing instrument
procedures at St. Mary’s Airport and
represents the FAA’s continuing effort
to safely and efficiently use the
navigable airspace.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to the Code of Federal
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:43 Jul 14, 2006
Jkt 208001
Regulations (14 CFR part 71), which
would revise the Class E airspace at
Iliamna Airport, AK. The intended
effect of this proposal is to revise Class
E airspace upward from 700 ft. and
1,200 ft. above the surface to contain
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations
at Iliamna Airport, AK.
The FAA Instrument Flight
Procedures Production and
Maintenance Branch has amended a
SIAP for the Iliamna Airport. The
approach is the Area Navigation (Global
Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS))
Runway (RWY) 07, Amendment 2. Class
E controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 ft and 1,200 ft. above the
surface within the Iliamna Airport area
would be revised by this action. The
proposed airspace is sufficient in size to
contain aircraft executing the
instrument procedures at the Iliamna
Airport.
The area would be depicted on
aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
The coordinates for this airspace docket
are based on North American Datum 83.
The Class E airspace areas designated as
700/1200 foot transition areas are
published in paragraph 6005 in FAA
Order 7400.9N, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated September
1, 2005, and effective September 15,
2005, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations 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. It,
therefore—(1) Is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA),
is proposing to revise the regulations
governing irrigation projects under its
jurisdiction. The purpose of the
revisions is to provide consistent
administration; establish the process for
updating practices, policies, and
procedures for the administration,
operation, maintenance, and
rehabilitation of irrigation projects; and
provide uniform accounting and
recordkeeping procedures.
These regulations have also been
rewritten in plain English as mandated
by Executive Order 12866. They also
address several issues that prior
regulations did not cover.
DATES: We must receive your written
comments on this proposed rulemaking
by November 14, 2006.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

208–5480.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are
publishing this revised rule under the
authority delegated by the Secretary of
the Interior to the Assistant Secretary—
Indian Affairs by 209 DM 8.
Background
The revised regulations clarify prior
regulatory language, in keeping with the
‘‘plain language’’ standard required by
Executive Order 12866. In revising this
regulation, many sections of the
regulation were identified as redundant
or unnecessary and are proposed to be
deleted. New sections have been added
to comply with the Inspector General’s
(IG) audit findings and to implement the
provisions of the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996.
Several IG audits, the most recent in
1996 (96–I–641), identified a
management deficiency concerning full
cost rates for operation and
maintenance. Also, the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 established
new procedures to manage monies owed
the Federal Government. The revisions
address both of these issues.
The proposed revisions to 25 CFR part
171 were previously published on July
5, 1996 (61 FR 35167). Due to the length
of time that has passed and changes to
the proposed regulations, the proposed
revisions are being published again for
public comment. This republication is
to provide a fresh start on the
rulemaking process for this revision.
Consultation meetings with the tribes
that may be impacted by these
regulations were held on August 24 and
26, 2004, and May 10 and 12, 2005.
Additional consultation meetings with
tribes may be scheduled during the
comment period. These consultation
meetings are in accordance with
Executive Order 13175 and are for tribes
and tribal members only. The general
public and non-tribal members must
submit their comments in accordance
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
with this document. Tribes and tribal
members may also submit comments in
accordance with this document.
Procedural Requirements
Regulatory Planning and Review
(Executive Order 12866)
This document is not a significant
rule and the Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed this rule under
Executive Order 12866.
(1) This rule will not have an effect of
$100 million or more on the economy.
It will not adversely affect in a material
way the economy, productivity,
competition, jobs, the environment,
public health or safety, or State, local,
or tribal governments or communities.
This is an existing regulation that is
being revised to implement the
Inspector General’s audit findings and
the Debt Collection Improvement Act of
1996.
(2) This rule will not create a serious
inconsistency or otherwise interfere
with an action taken or planned by
another agency. The irrigation projects
impacted by these revisions are solely
owned by the BIA and no other agency
provides supplemental services or is
impacted by the operation.
(3) This rule does not alter the
budgetary effects of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs or the rights
or obligations of their recipients. The
user fees or assessments that the BIA
establishes at each irrigation project to
recover its costs will eventually be
impacted as the BIA reviews its rates
and strives to implement full cost rates.
(4) This rule does not raise novel legal
or policy issues. No new authorities or
policies are being established.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Department of the Interior
certifies that this document will not
have a significant economic effect on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.). An initial Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis is not required
because Indian tribes are not considered
to be small entities for purposes of this
act.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act (SBREFA)
This rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804(2), the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.
This rule:
a. Does not have an annual effect on
the economy of $100 million or more.
The total revenue stream for the
operation and maintenance of BIA
irrigation projects is approximately $25
million annually. This is below the $100
million threshold.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR part 71), which would revise the Class E airspace
at Iliamna Airport, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to
revise Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the
surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Iliamna
Airport, AK.
The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance
Branch has amended a SIAP for the Iliamna Airport. The approach is the
Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY)
07, Amendment 2. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700
ft and 1,200 ft. above the surface within the Iliamna Airport area
would be revised by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in
size to contain aircraft executing the instrument procedures at the
Iliamna Airport.
The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot
reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200
foot transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order
7400.9N, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1,
2005, and effective September 15, 2005, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations 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.
It, therefore--(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
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this 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.
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart 1, Section 40103, Sovereignty and use of
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because
it proposes to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain
aircraft executing instrument procedures at Iliamna Airport and
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use
the navigable airspace.
