AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This action will modify Class
E airspace at Reno/Tahoe International
Airport, Reno, NV. Additional
controlled airspace is necessary to
accommodate aircraft using the
Localizer (LOC) Z Runway 16R
approach at Reno/Tahoe International
Airport, Reno, NV. This action will
enhance the safety and management of
aircraft operations at the airport. This
action also amends the airport name and
makes a minor change to the geographic
coordinates of the airport and the
VORTAC.
DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, July 2,

Jkt 217001
On December 18, 2008, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to
establish additional controlled airspace
at Reno/Tahoe International Airport,
Reno, NV, (73 FR 76986). Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
Subsequent to publication, the FAA
found that a minor change to the
geographic coordinates of the airport
and the VORTAC is needed to coincide
with the FAA’s National Aeronautical
Charting Office. Also, the airport’s name
will be amended to read as Reno/Tahoe
International Airport, from Reno/
Cannon International Airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008,
and effective October 31, 2008, which is
PO 00000

Sfmt 4700

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.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
modifying the Class E airspace at Reno,
NV. Additional controlled airspace is
necessary to accommodate aircraft using
the Localizer (LOC) Z Runway 16R
approach at Reno/Tahoe International
Airport, Reno, NV. With the exception
of editorial changes, and the changes
described above, this rule is the same as
that proposed in the NPRM.
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 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 1,
Section 106, discusses 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 modifies
controlled airspace at Reno/Tahoe
International Airport, Reno, NV.

ACTION:
Final rule.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 215 of the
Federal Power Act, the Commission
approves three revised Reliability
Standards developed by the North
American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC), which the
Commission has certified as the Electric
Reliability Organization responsible for
developing and enforcing mandatory
Reliability Standards. The three revised
Reliability Standards, designated by
NERC as FAC–010–2, FAC–011–2 and
FAC–014–2, set requirements for the
development and communication of
system operating limits of the BulkPower System for use in the planning
and operation horizons. In addition, the
Commission approves, with
modifications, the violation severity
levels for the three Reliability
Standards.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule will
become effective April 29, 2009.
