FCUs unclear as to the permissibility of a particular function should consult with their own private legal counsel with expertise in the activity or may consult with NCUA’s OGC.1 Section 721.3(j): Payroll Services The proposed rule adds payroll services to the operational programs category. Generally, this category describes programs an FCU can establish to deliver products and services that enhance member service and promote safe and sound operation. 12 CFR 721.3(j). Payroll services permit an FCU to make disbursements from a business member’s account to third parties, as well as deduct the appropriate amounts for income taxes and employee-paid benefit premiums. In a 2006 opinion letter, NCUA recognized that payroll services are related to other permissible activities, such as electronic financial services and payroll deductions, and concluded providing payroll services is a permissible operational program.

Regulatory Procedures rfrederick on PRODPC75 with PROPOSALS Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires NCUA to prepare an analysis to describe any significant economic impact a proposed rule may have on a substantial number of small credit unions (those under $10 million in assets). This proposed rule adds to the language of preexisting permissible activities for FCUs. The proposed rule, therefore, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small credit unions and a 1 For example, the Board notes FCUs should consult the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) when accepting fees from a third party, as a finder of mortgage related products. NCUA’s incidental powers rule permits FCUs to earn income for those activities determined to be incidental to its business. 12 CFR 721.6. RESPA, however, prohibits financial institutions from accepting fees or payments for referring members to settlement service providers in mortgage related transactions. 24 CFR 3500. FCUs acting as a finder of mortgage related products should consult RESPA to determine if the acceptance of fees in a particular transaction is prohibited.

Paperwork Reduction Act NCUA has determined that the proposed amendments will not increase paperwork requirements and a paperwork reduction analysis is not required. Executive Order 13132 Executive Order 13132 encourages independent regulatory agencies to consider the impact of their actions on state and local interests. In adherence to fundamental federalism principles, NCUA, an independent regulatory agency as defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5), voluntarily complies with the executive order. The proposed rule would not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the connection between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. NCUA has determined that this proposed rule does not constitute a policy that has federalism implications for purposes of the executive order.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR part 71), which would establish Class E airspace at 
the Venetie Airport, in Venetie, AK. The intended effect of this 
proposal is to create Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 
ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations at the Venetie Airport, Venetie, AK.
    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance 
Branch has developed two SIAPs and one textual ODP for the Venetie 
Airport. The new SIAPs are (1) the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 
Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 04, Original (Orig) and (2) the 
RNAV (GPS) RWY 22, Orig. Textual ODPs are unnamed and are published in 
the front of the U.S. Terminal Procedures for Alaska. Class E 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above 
the surface in the Venetie Airport area would be created by this 
action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in size to contain aircraft 
executing the instrument procedures at the Venetie Airport, Venetie, 
AK.
    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 
7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 
2007, and effective September 15, 2007, 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 the Venetie Airport, AK, 
and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently 
use the navigable airspace.
