ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule as final rule. SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the brucellosis regulations concerning the interstate movement of cattle by changing the classification of Montana from Class A to Class Free. We determined that Montana met the standards for Class Free status. The interim rule relieved certain restrictions on the interstate movement of cattle from Montana. DATES: Effective on November 5, 2009, we are adopting as a final rule the interim rule published at 74 FR 3313933140 on July 10, 2009. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Debbi A.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Brucellosis is a contagious disease affecting animals and humans, caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella. The brucellosis regulations, contained in 9 CFR part 78 (referred to below as the regulations), provide a system for classifying States or portions of States according to the rate of Brucella infection present and the general effectiveness of a brucellosis control and eradication program. The classifications are Class Free, Class A, Class B, and Class C. States or areas that do not meet the minimum standards for Class C are required to be placed under Federal quarantine. In an interim rule1 effective and published in the Federal Register on July 10, 2009 (74 FR 33139-33140, Docket No. APHIS-2009-0040), we amended the regulations by changing the classification of the State of Montana from Class A to Class Free. That action relieved certain restrictions on the interstate movement of cattle from Montana. Comments on the interim rule were required to be received on or before September 8, 2009. We received one comment by that date, from a private citizen. This commenter did not, however, address the action taken in the interim rule (i.e., the change in Montana’s brucellosis classification). Therefore, for the reasons given in the interim rule, we are adopting the interim rule as a final rule without change. This action also affirms the information contained in the interim rule concerning Executive Order 12866 and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and the Paperwork Reduction Act. Further, for this action, the Office of Management and Budget has waived its review under Executive Order 12866.

ACTION: Final rule. This action revises Colored Federal Airway Amber 1 (A–1), by adding a segment from the Abbotsford, BC, Non-directional Beacon (NDB) to the Victoria, BC, NDB. Specifically, the FAA is taking this action to enhance the management of air traffic during the 2010 Winter Olympics at the request of the Canadian Government. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, December 17, 2009. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES The Rule The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to revise Colored Federal Airway A–1, by adding a segment to the airway between Abbotsford, BC, and Victoria, BC, through United States airspace delegated to Canada for air traffic control. The Government of Canada requested the revision of A–1 to provide a low altitude route segment between Abbotsford NDB and Victoria NDB to support the 2010 Winter Olympics. Colored Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6009 of FAA VerDate Nov<24>2008 14:36 Nov 04, 2009 Jkt 220001 Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Colored Federal Airway listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. 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 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 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. Therefore, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(a) are unnecessary. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States 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 the 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 revises a Federal Airway within the State of Washington. Adoption of the Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows: ■ PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1. The authority citation for part 71 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959– 1963 Comp., p. 389. § 71.1 [Amended] 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Brucellosis is a contagious disease affecting animals and humans, 
caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella.
    The brucellosis regulations, contained in 9 CFR part 78 (referred 
to below as the regulations), provide a system for classifying States 
or portions of States according to the rate of Brucella infection 
present and the general effectiveness of a brucellosis control and 
eradication program. The classifications are Class Free, Class A, Class 
B, and Class C. States or areas that do not meet the minimum standards 
for Class C are required to be placed under Federal quarantine.
    In an interim rule\1\ effective and published in the Federal 
Register on July 10, 2009 (74 FR 33139-33140, Docket No. APHIS-2009-
0040), we amended the regulations by changing the classification of the 
State of Montana from Class A to Class Free. That action relieved 
certain restrictions on the interstate movement of cattle from Montana.
