No. 476] IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 51591 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. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, September 25, 2008. 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. 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. E:\FR\FM\04SER1.SGM 04SER1 51592 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 172 / Thursday, September 4, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 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.

E8–20443 Filed 9–3–08; 8:45 am] I. Background BILLING CODE 4910–13–P The statutory and regulatory background to this rule is fully discussed in the preamble to the January 8, 2008, interim rule at 73 FR 1434– 1435. HUD’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) statute is at section 255 of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. 1715z–20. The January 2008 interim rule revised the point in time at which the appraised value of the property and the maximum dollar amount for an area under 12 U.S.C. 1709(b)(2) are compared to determine the maximum claim amount. The definition of ‘‘maximum claim amount’’ currently codified in HUD’s regulations in 24 CFR 206.3 provides that both of these values ‘‘must be as of the date the Direct Endorsement Lender or Lender Insurance Underwriter receives the appraisal report.’’ For reasons described in the January 8, 2008, interim rule, however, the date is changed to the date of loan closing. The interim rule also addressed an issue in the HECM program in which refinanced HECM notes assigned to HUD under assignment provisions at § 206.107(a)(1) (election of assignment or shared premium option) and § 206.121(b) (assignment to HUD when the mortgagee is unable or unwilling to make payments to mortgagor), but not in default, could not be insured at the reduced initial mortgage insurance premium (MIP) rates applicable to refinanced HECM loans. The interim rule clarified that refinanced HECM loans in these categories are also eligible for mortgage insurance at the reduced rate.

ACTION: Final rule. ebenthall on PRODPC60 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: This final rule adopts, without change, an interim rule that made two technical changes to HUD’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program. First, the interim rule extended the date for calculating the maximum claim amount in the HECM program from the date of the underwriter’s receipt of the appraisal report to the date of closing. This change provides a more easily verifiable and more easily identifiable date. Second, the interim rule corrected an unintended consequence that results in a situation where HECM loans that are not in default but have been assigned pursuant to regulatory provisions, and remain in effect, are not eligible to be refinanced with a discounted initial mortgage insurance premium (MIP). The interim rule permitted such HECM loans to be eligible for the discounted initial MIP upon refinancing, in accordance with the purpose of the HECM program, which is to improve the financial situation of elderly homeowners. HUD received one public comment in response to a solicitation of comments on the interim rule, which was supportive of the interim rule. DATES: Effective Date: October 6, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:18 Sep 03, 2008 Jkt 214001 II. This Final Rule This final rule adopts the interim rule without change. The following provides a summary of the regulatory amendments made by the interim rule, and adopted without change by the final rule. • The interim rule removed the second sentence of 24 CFR 206.3, and revised the first sentence to read: Maximum claim amount means the lesser of the appraised value of the property, as determined by the appraisal used in underwriting the loan, or the maximum dollar amount for an area established by the Secretary for a one-family residence under section 203(b)(2) of the National Housing Act (as adjusted where applicable under section 214 of the National Housing Act) as of the date of loan closing. • The interim rule revised the last sentence of § 206.53(a) to remove the term ‘‘presently’’ and clarify that the refinancing provisions apply to ‘‘existing’’ HECM loans, including those PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 assigned under §§ 206.107(a)(1) and 206.121(b). III. Discussion of Public Comments The public comment period on the January 8, 2008, interim rule closed on March 10, 2008. HUD received one comment, which supported the change made by the rule, and urged HUD to make other changes to the program regulations that would especially assist elderly minority homeowners. With no other issues for consideration at the final rule stage, HUD is adopting the interim rule without change. IV. Findings and Certifications Environmental Impact The final rule involves external administrative or fiscal requirements or procedures that are related to loan limits and rate or cost determinations and that do not constitute a development decision affecting the physical condition of specific project areas or building sites. Accordingly, under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(6), this rule is categorically excluded from environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) generally requires an agency to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements, unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This final rule would not have a significant impact on entities, because the establishment of a date of maximum claim amount is an automated process and merely changing the date as of which the calculation is made imposes no additional burden on any entity. Allowing for discounted MIPs for refinancings provides a benefit to borrowers and presents no impact on any business entities. Accordingly, the undersigned certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Executive Order 13132, Federalism Executive Order 13132 (entitled ‘‘Federalism’’) prohibits an agency from publishing any rule that has federalism implications if the rule either imposes substantial direct compliance costs on state and local governments and is not required by statute, or the rule preempts state law, unless the agency meets the consultation and funding requirements of section 6 of the Executive Order. This rule would not have federalism E:\FR\FM\04SER1.SGM 04SER1

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.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, September 25, 2008.

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.

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.
