Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 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 establishing Class E airspace designated as surface areas and modifying existing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Bishop, CA. Additional controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of IFR aircraft executing a new RNAV (GPS) SIAP at Eastern Sierra Regional Airport, Bishop, CA. 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 FAAs 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 PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 66231 the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This final rule amends regulations of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Department of Commerce, setting forth the reporting requirements for the 2009 BE–10, Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad. The benchmark survey covers the U.S. direct investment abroad universe, and is BEA’s most comprehensive survey of such investment in terms of subject matter. Benchmark surveys are conducted every 5 years. The changes to the 2009 benchmark survey include: (a) Changes VerDate Nov<24>2008 12:30 Dec 14, 2009 Jkt 220001 in survey form design and reporting criteria to simplify the survey forms and improve response rates; and (b) modifications, deletions and additions of specific items on the survey forms. Some of the items that will no longer be collected are those that are now collected on BEA’s surveys of international services. DATES: This final rule will be effective on January 14, 2010.

In the September 30, 2009, Federal Register, 74 FR 50150–50154, BEA published a notice of proposed rulemaking that set forth revised reporting criteria for the BE–10, Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad. No comments on the proposed rule were received. Thus, the proposed rule is adopted without change. This final rule amends 15 CFR 806.16 to set forth the reporting requirements for the BE–10, Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad—2009. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description of Changes The changes to the benchmark survey include: (a) Changes in survey form design and reporting criteria to simplify the survey forms and improve response rates; and (b) modifications, deletions and additions of specific items on the survey forms. BEA is adding a question that will identify U.S. parent companies that use foreign manufacturing services to process or further manufacture goods that they own. Several items on crossborder services transactions between affiliated parties are no longer being collected on the benchmark survey because they are now collected on BEA’s surveys of international services (BE–45, BE–120, BE–125, and BE–185). BEA is discontinuing the use of separate forms for banks. The benchmark survey Form BE–10A BANK is being discontinued. Similarly, Form BE–10B BANK, report for foreign affiliates that are banks, is being discontinued. For 2009, bank and nonbank U.S. Reporters must file Form BE–10A, Report for U.S. Reporter. A U.S. Reporter must report all domestic operations on a fully consolidated basis. BEA is adding a question to Form BE– 10A so it can continue to identify U.S. Reporters that are banks even if the majority of their revenues are generated by nonbanking activities. PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 All foreign affiliates, regardless of industry, must be filed on one of three foreign affiliate forms— (a) Form BE–10B—report for majorityowned foreign affiliates with total assets, sales or gross operating revenues, or net income greater than $80 million, positive or negative; additional items must be filed for affiliates with assets, sales, or net income greater than $300 million, positive or negative. Form BE– 10B replaces the 2004 benchmark survey Forms BE–10B(LF) long form and BE–10B(SF) short form for reporting large majority-owned foreign affiliates; (b) Form BE–10C—report for majorityowned foreign affiliates with total assets, sales or gross operating revenues, or net income greater than $25 million, positive or negative, but for which no one of these items is greater than $80 million, positive or negative, and for minority-owned foreign affiliates with total assets, sales or gross operating revenues, or net income greater than $25 million, positive or negative. Form BE– 10C replaces the 2004 benchmark survey Form BE–10B(SF) short form for reporting small majority-owned foreign affiliates and minority-owned foreign affiliates; or (c) Form BE–10D—schedule for foreign affiliates with total assets, sales or gross operating revenues, and net income less than or equal to $25 million, positive or negative. Form BE– 10D replaces the 2004 benchmark survey Form BE–10B Mini and the 2004 BE–10A Supplement A schedule for reporting the smallest majority- and minority-owned foreign affiliates. BEA is also increasing the exemption level for reporting of selected items on Form BE–10A from $150 million to $300 million. Survey Background The BEA conducts the BE–10, Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad under the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act, 22 U.S.C. 3101– 3108 (the Act). Section 4(b) of the Act provides that, with respect to United States direct investment abroad, ‘‘the President shall conduct a benchmark survey covering year 1982, a benchmark survey covering year 1989, and benchmark surveys covering every fifth year thereafter. In conducting surveys pursuant to this subsection, the ‘‘President shall, among other things and to the extent he determines necessary and feasible— (1) Identify the location, nature, and magnitude of, and changes in total investment by any parent in each of its affiliates and the financial transactions E:\FR\FM\15DER1.SGM 15DER1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On September 24, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to modify and establish additional 
controlled airspace at Bishop, CA, (74 FR 48671). Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting 
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and 
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and 
effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 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 establishing Class E airspace designated as surface areas 
and modifying existing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at Bishop, CA. Additional controlled airspace is 
necessary for the safety and management of IFR aircraft executing a new 
RNAV (GPS) SIAP at Eastern Sierra Regional Airport, Bishop, CA.
    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 FAAs 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 establishes 
additional controlled airspace at Eastern Sierra Regional Airport, 
Bishop, CA.
