Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Cocoa, FL, 21266-21268 [2011-9223]

21266
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 73 / Friday, April 15, 2011 / Proposed Rules
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 343 of the DFA amended
section 11(a)(1) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. 1821(a)(1), to
provide full insurance coverage for
depository institution noninterestbearing transaction accounts from
December 31, 2010, through December
31, 2012. Section 627 of the DFA
repealed the statutory prohibition
against the payment of interest on
demand deposits, effective one year
from the date of the DFA’s enactment,
July 21, 2011.
In light of the prospective repeal of
the demand deposit interest prohibition,
the FDIC proposes to rescind 12 CFR
Part 329, the regulation which
implements that prohibition with
respect to SNM banks, to be effective on
the same date as the statutory repeal,
July 21, 2011. At the same time,
however, a regulatory definition of the
term ‘‘interest’’ will still be useful in
interpreting the requirements of section
343 of the DFA providing temporary,
unlimited deposit insurance coverage
for noninterest-bearing transaction
accounts. For this reason, the FDIC
proposes, as part of this same
rulemaking, to transfer the definition of
‘‘interest’’ currently found at 12 CFR
329.1(c) to Part 330, specifically the
definitions section at 12 CFR 330.1. The
FDIC also specifically solicits comment
on whether other parts of Part 329 could
also prove useful and therefore should
be moved into Part 330 as well. For
example, section 329.103 provides an
interpretive rule that defines what
constitutes a ‘‘premium’’ which may
prove useful in determining whether an
account qualifies as a noninterestbearing transaction account. The FDIC
seeks comment on every aspect of this
proposed rule.

II. Regulatory Analysis and Procedure
A. Solicitation of Comments on Use of
Plain Language
Section 722 of the Gramm-LeachBliley Act, 1471 (Nov. 12, 1999),
requires the Federal banking agencies to
use plain language in all proposed and
final rules published after January 1,
2000. We invite your comments on how
to make this proposal easier to
understand. For example:
• Have we organized the material to
suit your needs? If not, how could this
material be better organized?
• Are the requirements in the
proposed regulation clearly stated? If
not, how could the regulation be more
clearly stated?
• Does the proposed regulation
contain language or jargon that is not
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:22 Apr 14, 2011
Jkt 223001
clear? If so, which language requires
clarification?
• Would a different format (grouping
and order of sections, use of headings,
paragraphing) make the regulation
easier to understand? If so, what
changes to the format would make the
regulation easier to understand?
• What else could we do to make the
regulation easier to understand?
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
requires that each federal agency either
certify that a proposed rule would not,
if adopted in final form, have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities or
prepare an initial regulatory flexibility
analysis of the rule and publish the
analysis for comment. For purposes of
the RFA analysis or certification,
financial institutions with total assets of
$175 million or less are considered to be
‘‘small entities.’’ The FDIC hereby
certifies pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that
the NPR, if adopted, will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
This is because the FDIC already applies
the Part 329 definition of ‘‘interest’’ for
purposes of determining whether an
account qualifies for full deposit
insurance coverage as a noninterestbearing transaction account. The FDIC is
only proposing to transfer the definition
from Part 329 to Part 330 because the
former regulation will become moot on
July 21, 2011, pursuant to section 627 of
the DFA and its repeal of the statutory
ban on the payment of interest on
demand deposits. There will therefore
be no significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities as
a result of this change.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
No collections of information
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Ch. 3501 et seq.) are
contained in the proposed rule.
D. The Treasury and General
Government Appropriations Act, 1999—
Assessment of Federal Regulations and
Policies on Families
The FDIC has determined that the
proposed rule will not affect family
well-being within the meaning of
section 654 of the Treasury and General
Government Appropriations Act,
enacted as part of the Omnibus
Consolidated and Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations Act of
1999 ().

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution
System, which describes the application
procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface to support
new standard instrument approach
procedures developed at Merritt Island
Airport, Cocoa, FL. Airspace
reconfiguration is necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Merritt Island
NDB and cancellation of the NDB
approach, and for continued safety and
management of IFR operations at the
airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010,
and effective September 15, 2010, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will 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
PO 00000
Frm 00012

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
proposed rule, when promulgated,
would 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 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 proposed
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 proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority as it
would amend Class E airspace at Merritt
Island Airport, Cocoa, FL.

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) Part 71 to establish Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet or more above the surface at
Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital
Heliport, Lincoln, OR. Controlled
airspace is necessary to accommodate
aircraft using the new RNAV (GPS)
standard instrument approach
procedures at Samaritan North Lincoln
Hospital Heliport. This action would
enhance the safety and management of
aircraft operations at Samaritan North
Lincoln Hospital Heliport, Lincoln, OR.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005, of FAA
Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010,
and effective September 15, 2010, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
Part 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will
be published subsequently in this
Order.
The FAA has determined this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed 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

routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified this proposed rule, when
promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
