E7–6882 Filed 4–11–07; 8:45 am] History I On February 23, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to revise Class E airspace at Redmond, OR (72 FR 8137). This action would improve the safety of IFR aircraft executing this new RNAV GPS approach procedure at CityCounty Airport, Madras, OR. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in that Order. rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by revising Class E airspace at Redmond, OR. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing a new RNAV (GPS) approach procedure at City-County Airport, Madras, OR. 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’’ 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.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument conditions in the affected areas. EFFECTIVE DATES: 0901 UTC, May 10, 2007.

Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125), telephone: (405) 954–4164. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover points (COPs) for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as prescribed in part 95. E:\FR\FM\12APR1.SGM 12APR1 18385 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 70 / Thursday, April 12, 2007 / Rules and Regulations The Rule The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and operational efficiency in the National Airspace System, are related to published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for making the amendment effective in less than 30 days. Conclusion 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. 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.

ACTION: Final regulations. AGENCY: This document contains final regulations under sections 871 and 881 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) relating to the exclusion from gross income of portfolio interest paid to a nonresident alien individual or foreign corporation. These regulations clarify how the portfolio interest rules apply with respect to interest paid to a partnership (or simple or grantor trust) that has foreign partners (or beneficiaries or owners). These regulations also retroactively remove the rule in Treasury Regulation § 1.1441– 1(b)(7)(iii) that would impose interest under section 6601 when no underlying tax liability is due. DATES: Effective Date: These regulations are effective on April 12, 2007. Applicability Dates: The regulations relating to the application of the 10percent shareholder test for interest paid rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:18 Apr 11, 2007 Jkt 211001 to partnerships applies to interest paid after April 12, 2007. However, taxpayers may choose to apply the rules in the final regulations to interest paid during any taxable year which is not closed by the period of limitations, provided they do so consistently with respect to all relevant partnerships during such years. The regulations removing the rule imposing interest and penalties on withholding agents when no underlying tax has in fact been imposed apply to payments made after December 31, 2000. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathryn Holman of the Office of the Associate Chief Counsel (International), (202) 622–3840 (not a toll-free call). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Section 871(a) of the Code imposes a tax of 30 percent on U.S. source fixed or determinable annual or periodic (FDAP) income, including interest, received by a nonresident alien individual to the extent the amount so received is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Section 881(a) imposes a similar tax with respect to FDAP income, including interest, received by a foreign corporation. Both sections 871(h)(3)(A) and 881(c)(3)(B) provide, among other limitations, that portfolio interest does not include interest received by a 10-percent shareholder, as defined in section 871(h)(3)(B). Explanation of Provisions and Summary of Comments The IRS and the Treasury Department issued proposed regulations (REG– PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 118775–06) under sections 871(h) and 881(c) in the Federal Register (71 FR 34047) on June 13, 2006. The proposed regulations address the application of the 10-percent shareholder test when U.S. source interest is paid to a partnership that has a nonresident alien individual or foreign corporation as a partner. The proposed regulations provide that, for interest paid on obligations issued on or after the date that final regulations are published, the 10-percent shareholder test is to be applied only at the partner level and at the time that the withholding agent would otherwise be required to withhold. No public hearing was requested or held. However, a few comments were received. After consideration of the comments, the proposed regulations are adopted in these final regulations, with two modifications. In addition, these final regulations implement section 5 of Notice 2006–99 (46 IRB 907) (See § 601.601(d)(2) of this chapter), modifying § 1.1441–1(b)(7)(iii), as discussed below. 1. Time for Applying the 10-Percent Shareholder Test The proposed regulations provide that the 10-percent shareholder test applies at the time the withholding agent would otherwise be required to withhold. The regulations then provide an example in which the test is stated to apply on the ‘‘earliest’’ of when the interest is distributed, the date the statement under section 6031(c) is mailed, or the due date for furnishing the statement. In order to make clear that the test may be applied on multiple dates (and not only on the date of a first partial distribution of such interest), the example has been E:\FR\FM\12APR1.SGM 12APR1

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required 
IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for 
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a 
minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This 
regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the 
National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the 
safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument 
conditions in the affected areas.

EFFECTIVE DATES: 0901 UTC, May 10, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donald P. Pate, Flight Procedure 
Standards Branch (AMCAFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs 
Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma 
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125), 
telephone: (405) 954-4164.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR 
altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a 
specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover 
points (COPs) for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as 
prescribed in part 95.

[[Page 18385]]

The Rule

    The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the 
prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid 
coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of 
frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the 
need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and 
operational efficiency in the National Airspace System, are related to 
published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and 
provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In 
addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this 
amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication 
date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the 
user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those 
considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between 
these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice 
and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable 
and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for 
making the amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    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. 
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. For the same reason, the FAA 
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
