Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code
specifies the FAA’s authority to issue
rules on aviation safety. 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.
We are issuing this rulemaking under
the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII,
Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701:
General requirements.’’ Under that
section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in
air commerce by prescribing regulations
for practices, methods, and procedures
the Administrator finds necessary for
safety in air commerce. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on
products identified in this rulemaking
action.
Regulatory Findings
We determined that this proposed AD
would not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This
proposed AD would not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on
the relationship between the national
Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify this proposed regulation:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and
3. Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
You can find our regulatory
evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which
describes the application procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) Part 71 by creating additional
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Alturas,
CA, to accommodate aircraft using
RNAV (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures at Alturas
Municipal Airport. This action would
enhance the safety and management of
aircraft operations at Alturas Municipal
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 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
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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1,
Section 106, describes the authority for
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 would
create additional controlled airspace at
Alturas Municipal Airport, Alturas, CA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
General Background
Many veterans who are disabled due
to complex chronic disease or traumatic
injury may be unable to live safely and
independently, or may have health care
needs that exceed the capabilities of
their families. Many of these veterans
are placed in nursing homes. However,
with the proper support, many veterans
who previously would have been placed
in nursing homes can continue to live
in a home and delay, or totally avoid,
the need for nursing home care. VA’s
community residential care program,
specifically authorized by 38 U.S.C.
1730 and implemented at 38 CFR 17.61
through 17.72, has provided health care
supervision to eligible veterans who are
not able to live independently and have
no suitable family or significant others
to provide needed supervision and
supportive care.
A medical foster home is a specific
type of community residential care
facility that provides home-based care to
a small number of residents with serious
chronic disease and disability. Under 38
U.S.C. 1730 as implemented by 38 CFR
17.61(b), community residential care is
not a substitute for nursing home care.
A medical foster home provides a
greater level of care than a community
residential care facility (and in this
respect a medical foster home is more
analogous to nursing home care), while
allowing veterans to live in a home-like
setting and maintain a greater degree of
independence. VA interprets 38 U.S.C.
1730 as authorizing a medical foster
home program, as a subset of the
community residential care program. In
particular, we believe medical foster
homes fit within the type of facility
authorized by section 1730(f), since they
provide ‘‘room and board and * * *
limited personal care.’’ The medical
foster home program is targeted to the
needs of veterans who meet the
eligibility criteria, which we would
establish in proposed 38 CFR 17.73(c).
Through the medical foster home
program, VA recognizes and approves
certain medical foster homes for the
placement of veterans. When a veteran
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
28917
is placed in an approved medical foster
home, VA will provide inspections of
the home, oversight, and medical foster
home caregiver training. If a medical
foster home does not meet our criteria
for approval, VA will not provide these
benefits and services, which, in turn,
may discourage veterans from seeking to
be placed in that home. Thus, the
process of obtaining and maintaining
VA approval has a substantial and vital
impact on the lives of veterans, and is
useful to medical foster homes.
Currently, VA does not have
regulations specifically targeted at
governing medical foster homes, and,
when necessary and appropriate, we
have relied upon the regulations that
govern all community residential care
facilities, industry standards, and VA
policy and practice to ensure the safety
and quality of approved VA medical
foster homes. However, many of our
current regulations governing
community residential care cannot or
should not apply to medical foster
homes. For example, the life safety
provisions in 38 CFR 17.63 refer to
industry standards that specifically
govern facilities with four or more
residents, while medical foster homes,
by definition, provide care to three or
fewer residents. By establishing these
regulations, we intend to make clear to
the public the criteria which VA will
use when deciding whether to approve
a medical foster home. Moreover, our
current regulations applicable to
community residential care facilities do
not adequately protect bedridden
patients. The current regulations are
only intended to address homes where
personal care services are provided to
veterans and are not intended to address
bedridden patients.
This proposed rule would reflect
current practice and policy and would
require approved facilities to conform
with applicable state and local
regulations. The proposed rule is also
based, as much as possible, on our
current regulations governing
community residential care. Because the
proposed rule would reflect industry
standards and current VA policy and
procedures, we do not expect that it
would have a significant or adverse
impact on medical foster homes that are
currently approved by VA, or on those
that are not approved but who would
seek approval under the proposed rule.
Section 17.73 Medical Foster Homes—
General
Proposed § 17.73(a) would briefly
describe the purpose of the medical
foster home program, and clarify that a
choice to become a resident in a medical
foster home is a voluntary decision on

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by creating additional Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Alturas, CA, to
accommodate aircraft using RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach
procedures at Alturas Municipal Airport. This action would enhance the
safety and management of aircraft operations at Alturas Municipal
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 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
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 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

as it would create additional controlled airspace at Alturas Municipal
Airport, Alturas, CA.
