The Proposal This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), Part 71 by amending the Class E airspace area for IFR operations at Big Spring McMahon-Wrinkle Airport, Big Spring, TX. Changes to the VOR/DME RWY 17 SIAP have made this action necessary. The area would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6000 of FAA Order 7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:34 Sep 26, 2008 Jkt 214001 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle I, 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 I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it would amend controlled airspace at Big Spring McMahon-Wrinkle Airport, Big Spring, TX.

ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is publishing this companion proposed rule to the direct final rule, published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, which is intended to amend our regulations to require that the holder of a new drug application (NDA) submit certain information in an annual report regarding authorized generic drugs. We are taking this action as part of our implementation of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA). FDAAA requires that FDA publish a list of all authorized generic drugs included in an annual report since 1999, and that the agency update the list quarterly. DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the proposed rule by December 15, 2008. If FDA receives any significant adverse comments, the agency will publish a document withdrawing the direct final rule within 30 days after the comment period ends. FDA will then proceed to respond to comments under this proposed rule using the usual notice and comment procedures. Submit comments on information collection issues under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 by October 29, 2008 (see the ‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995’’ section of this document).

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR), Part 71 by amending the Class E airspace area for IFR 
operations at Big Spring McMahon-Wrinkle Airport, Big Spring, TX. 
Changes to the VOR/DME RWY 17 SIAP have made this action necessary. The 
area would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6000 of FAA Order 
7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designation 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 U.S. 
Code. Subtitle I, 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 I, 
Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing 
regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the 
safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation 
is within the scope of that authority as it would amend controlled 
airspace at Big Spring McMahon-Wrinkle Airport, Big Spring, TX.
