Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRM’s should contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, to request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application procedure. The Proposal This action proposes to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Port Clarence, AK, to accommodate a new instrument approach procedure at the Port Clarence CGS Airport. This Class E airspace would provide adequate controlled airspace upward from 700 feet and 1,200 feet above the surface for the safety and management of IFR operations at Port Clarence CGS Airport. The 1,200-foot controlled airspace would extend into the Norton Sound Low Offshore Airspace Area and that airspace will be redefined in a future Offshore Airspace action. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1,200-foot transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9T, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, 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 would be subsequently published 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 E:\FR\FM\17JNP1.SGM 17JNP1 34394 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 116 / Thursday, June 17, 2010 / Proposed Rules 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. Because 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 United States Code. Subtitle 1, 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 1, section 40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it proposes to establish controlled airspace at Port Clarence, Alaska, and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking with request for comment. SUMMARY: Federal law requires that, unless waived by the Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary), all Federal payments, other than payments made under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, must be made electronically, that is, by electronic funds transfer (EFT). Direct deposit is the primary method that the Federal Government uses to make EFT payments. The Department of the Treasury (Treasury), Financial Management Service (FMS), is proposing to amend its regulation that describes the responsibilities of Federal agencies and recipients with respect to the electronic delivery of Federal payments and establishes the circumstances under which waivers from the EFT requirement are available. The proposed rule would generally require individuals to receive Federal nontax payments by EFT, effective March 1, 2011, except that there would be a delayed effective date to March 1, 2013, for two categories of individuals, namely: Individuals receiving Federal PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 payments by check on March 1, 2011, and individuals whose claims for Federal benefits are filed before March 1, 2011, and who request check payments when they file. For Federal benefit recipients, this means that individuals whose claims for Federal benefits are filed on or after March 1, 2011, would receive their benefit payments by direct deposit. Individuals receiving their payments by direct deposit prior to March 1, 2011, would continue to do so. Individuals who do not choose direct deposit of their payments to an account at a financial institution would be enrolled in the Direct Express® Debit MasterCard® card program, a prepaid card program established pursuant to terms and conditions approved by FMS. Beginning on March 1, 2013, all recipients of Federal benefit and other non-tax payments would receive their payments by direct deposit, either to a bank account or to a Direct Express® card account. DATES: Comments on the proposed rule must be received by August 16, 2010. ADDRESSES: You can download this proposed rule at the following Web site: https://www.fms.treas.gov/eft. You may also inspect and copy this proposed rule at: Treasury Department Library, Room 1428, Main Treasury Building, 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20220. Before visiting, you must call (202) 622–0990 for an appointment. In accordance with the U.S. Government’s eRulemaking Initiative, FMS publishes rulemaking information on www.regulations.gov. Regulations.gov offers the public the ability to comment on, search, and view publicly available rulemaking materials, including comments received on rules.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Port Clarence, AK, 
to accommodate a new instrument approach procedure at the Port Clarence 
CGS Airport. This Class E airspace would provide adequate controlled 
airspace upward from 700 feet and 1,200 feet above the surface for the 
safety and management of IFR operations at Port Clarence CGS Airport. 
The 1,200-foot controlled airspace would extend into the Norton Sound 
Low Offshore Airspace Area and that airspace will be redefined in a 
future Offshore Airspace action.
    The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1,200-foot transition 
areas are published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9T, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, 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 
would be subsequently published 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

[[Page 34394]]

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. Because 
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 United States Code. Subtitle 1, 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 1, section 40103, Sovereignty and use of 
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing 
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable 
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because 
it proposes to establish controlled airspace at Port Clarence, Alaska, 
and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently 
use the navigable airspace.
