The ‘‘T’’ prefix is one of several International Civil Aviation Organization designators used to identify domestic RNAV routes. The FAA has been allocated the letter ‘‘T’’ prefix and the number block 200 to 500 for use in naming these routes. The FAA uses the ‘‘T’’ prefix for RNAV routes in the low altitude en route structure of the National Airspace System. T-routes are depicted in blue on the appropriate IFR en route low altitude chart(s). Each route depiction includes a GNSS minimum en route altitude to ensure obstacle clearance and communications reception. The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish three low altitude RNAV routes in the Los Angeles International Airport, CA, terminal area. The routes would be designated T–245, T–247, and T–249, and would be depicted on the appropriate IFR En Route Low Altitude charts. T-routes are low altitude RNAV ATS routes, similar to Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range Federal airways, but based on GNSS navigation. RNAVequipped aircraft capable of filing flight plan equipment suffix ‘‘G’’ may file for these routes. The T-routes described in this notice are being proposed to enhance safety, and to facilitate the more flexible and efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route IFR operations transitioning through and around the Los Angeles Class B airspace area. Low altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA Order 7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006 and effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The low altitude RNAV routes 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. Therefore, this proposed 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; T–245 Seal Beach, CA (SLI) to SILEX [New] Seal Beach (SLI) ............................................

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. Environmental Review The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ paragraph 311a, 311b, and 311k. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

Section 2031(a) generally provides that the value of the decedent’s gross estate shall include the value at the time of decedent’s death of all property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever situated. Section 2051 provides that the value of the taxable estate is determined by deducting from the value of the gross estate the deductions provided for in sections 2051 through 2058. Pursuant to section 2053(a), ‘‘the value of the taxable estate shall be determined by deducting from the value of the gross estate such amounts—(1) for funeral expenses, (2) for administration expenses, (3) for claims against the estate, and (4) for unpaid mortgages on, or any indebtedness in respect of, property where the value of the decedent’s interest therein, undiminished by such mortgage or indebtedness, is included in the value of the gross estate, as are allowable by the laws of the jurisdiction, whether within or without the United States, under which the estate is being administered.’’ Frm 00020 34°13′24″ 34°00′37″ 33°50′34″ 33°47′00″ * to CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG–143316–03), Courier’s Desk, Internal Revenue Service, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC; or sent electronically via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https:// www.regulations.gov (IRS REG–143316– 03).

W.) * The deductions allowable under sections 2051 through 2058 operate to eliminate from estate taxation those portions of the gross estate that are necessarily expended in paying certain claims and expenses of the estate. The rationale for those deductions is that those expended portions of the gross estate are not transferred to the decedent’s legatees, beneficiaries, or heirs and, therefore, are not subject to the transfer tax. The amount an estate may deduct for claims against the estate has been a highly litigious issue. Unlike section 2031, section 2053(a) does not contain a specific directive to value a deductible claim at its date of death value. Section 2053, in fact, specifically contemplates expenses such as funeral and administration expenses, which are only determinable after the decedent’s date of death. Although numerous courts have addressed section 2053(a)(3), there is little or no consistency among the conclusions of those courts with regard to the extent (if any) to which postdeath events are to be considered in valuing such claims. One line of cases follows the decision in Ithaca Trust v. Commissioner, 279 U.S. 151 (1929), holding that the estate tax charitable deduction for a charitable remainder interest was to be determined as of date of death. In Federal judicial circuits where the Ithaca Trust date-of-death valuation approach is applied to a claim against a decedent’s estate under section 2053(a)(3), courts generally hold that post-death events may not be considered when determining the amount deductible for that claim. At the opposite end of the spectrum, there is a line of cases that follows the Eighth Circuit’s opinion in Jacobs v. Commissioner, 34 F.2d 233 (8th Cir. 1929), cert. denied, 280 U.S. 603 (1929), in which the court considered but rejected the date-of-death valuation approach in determining the deductible amount of a claim against the estate. The court in Jacobs distinguished Ithaca Trust, stating that, unlike charitable deductions, ‘‘* * * the claims which Congress intended to be deducted were actual claims, not theoretical ones.’’ The E:\FR\FM\23APP1.SGM 23APP1

Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application 
procedure.

Low Altitude RNAV Route Identification and Charting

    Low altitude RNAV routes are identified by the letter ``T'' prefix 
followed by a three digit number. The ``T'' prefix is one of several 
International Civil Aviation Organization designators used to identify 
domestic RNAV routes. The FAA has been allocated the letter ``T'' 
prefix and the number block 200 to 500 for use in naming these routes. 
The FAA uses the ``T'' prefix for RNAV routes in the low altitude en 
route structure of the National Airspace System.
    T-routes are depicted in blue on the appropriate IFR en route low 
altitude chart(s).
    Each route depiction includes a GNSS minimum en route altitude to 
ensure obstacle clearance and communications reception.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish three low altitude RNAV 
routes in the Los Angeles International Airport, CA, terminal area. The 
routes would be designated T-245, T-247, and T-249, and would be 
depicted on the appropriate IFR En Route Low Altitude charts. T-routes 
are low altitude RNAV ATS routes, similar to Very High Frequency 
Omnidirectional Range Federal airways, but based on GNSS navigation. 
RNAV-equipped aircraft capable of filing flight plan equipment suffix 
``G'' may file for these routes.
    The T-routes described in this notice are being proposed to enhance 
safety, and to facilitate the more flexible and efficient use of the 
navigable airspace for en route IFR operations transitioning through 
and around the Los Angeles Class B airspace area.
    Low altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA 
Order 7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006 and effective September 15, 
2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The low 
altitude RNAV routes 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. 
Therefore, this proposed 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. 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.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a, 311b, and 311k. This airspace action is 
not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental 
impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant 
preparation of an environmental assessment.
