An amendment, published in the Federal Register of October 20, 2011, further modified the rule. This action is the result of satisfactory flight inspections for the Federal airways affected by the relocation of the Anchorage VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR). DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC. This announcement is effective February 9, 2012. The effective date of FR Doc. 2011–10240, published on April 28, 2011 (FR 76 23687), delayed by FR Doc. 2011–14711, published on June 16, 2011, and amended by FR Doc. 2011– 27118, published October 20, 2011 (FR 76 65106) is February 9, 2012. 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: Background Federal Register Document FAA– 2011–0010, Airspace Docket No. 11– AAL–1, published on April 28, 2011 (76 FR 23687), amends all Federal airways affected by the relocation of the Anchorage VOR navigation aid effective June 30, 2011. Due to a failed flight inspection, the FAA subsequently published in the Federal Register of June 16, 2011 a rule delaying the effective date from June 30, 2011, until further notice (76 FR 35097). Upon further inspection, the FAA removed two Federal airways in an amendment published in the Federal Register of October 20, (76 FR 65106). Two Federal airways were removed to be reworked as a separate rulemaking action. Satisfactory flight inspection results for the remaining Federal airways contained in the rule, as delayed and amended, have been accomplished the effective date is now established. 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:52 Dec 08, 2011 Jkt 226001 ‘‘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 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 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 modifies federal airways in Alaska. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background In Executive Order 12938 of November 14, 1994 (59 FR 59099, 3 CFR, 1994 Comp., p. 950), the President declared a national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy and economy of the United States posed by the proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and the means of delivering such weapons. That emergency has been continued in effect through successive annual presidential notices. The authority for parts 730, 734, 736, 742, 744 and 745 of the EAR (15 CFR parts 730, 734, 736, 742, 744 and 745) rests in part on E.O. 12938, as amended, and on the successive annual notices continuing the emergency. This rule revises the authority citations in those parts of the E:\FR\FM\09DER1.SGM 09DER1 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 237 / Friday, December 9, 2011 / Rules and Regulations sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES CFR to cite the notice of November 9, 2011, which is the most recent such annual Presidential notice, and to remove the citation to the notice of November 4, 2010 on the same topic. BIS is making these revisions so that title 15 of the CFR will cite the current authority for the parts mentioned above. This rule is purely procedural, and makes no changes other than to revise CFR authority citations paragraphs. It does not change the text of any section of the EAR, nor does it alter any right, obligation or prohibition that applies to any person under the EAR. requires that notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this rule, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Rulemaking Requirements 1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). This rule does not impose any regulatory burden on the public and is consistent with the goals of Executive Order 13563. This rule has been determined not to be a significant rule for purposes of Executive Order 12866. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule does not involve any collection of information. 3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132. 4. The Department finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act requiring prior notice and the opportunity for public comment because they are unnecessary. This rule only updates legal authority citations and is nondiscretionary. This rule does not alter any right, obligation or prohibition that applies to any person under the EAR. Because these revisions are not substantive changes, it is unnecessary to provide notice and opportunity for public comment. In addition, the 30-day delay in effectiveness required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d) is not applicable because this rule is not a substantive rule.

ACTION: Final rule. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental new animal drug application (NADA) filed by Elanco Animal Health, a division of Eli Lilly & Co.

The supplemental NADA is approved as of August 19, 2011, and 21 CFR 558.4 and 558.618 are amended to reflect the approval. In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of 21 CFR part 20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), a summary of safety and effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of this application may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(iii) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(iii)), this supplemental approval qualifies for 3 years of marketing exclusivity beginning on the date of approval. The Agency has carefully considered the potential environmental impact of this action and has concluded that the action will not have a significant impact on the human environment and that an environmental impact statement is not required. FDA’s finding of no significant impact and the evidence supporting that finding, contained in an environmental assessment, may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management (address above) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. This rule does not meet the definition of ‘‘rule’’ in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ‘‘particular applicability.’’ Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements in 5 U.S.C. 801–808.

of delivering such weapons. That emergency has been continued in effect 
through successive annual presidential notices. The authority for parts 
730, 734, 736, 742, 744 and 745 of the EAR (15 CFR parts 730, 734, 736, 
742, 744 and 745) rests in part on E.O. 12938, as amended, and on the 
successive annual notices continuing the emergency. This rule revises 
the authority citations in those parts of the

[[Page 76893]]

CFR to cite the notice of November 9, 2011, which is the most recent 
such annual Presidential notice, and to remove the citation to the 
notice of November 4, 2010 on the same topic.
    BIS is making these revisions so that title 15 of the CFR will cite 
the current authority for the parts mentioned above. This rule is 
purely procedural, and makes no changes other than to revise CFR 
authority citations paragraphs. It does not change the text of any 
section of the EAR, nor does it alter any right, obligation or 
prohibition that applies to any person under the EAR.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). This rule 
does not impose any regulatory burden on the public and is consistent 
with the goals of Executive Order 13563. This rule has been determined 
not to be a significant rule for purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty 
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq., unless that collection of information displays a 
currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. 
This rule does not involve any collection of information.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    4. The Department finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure 
Act requiring prior notice and the opportunity for public comment 
because they are unnecessary. This rule only updates legal authority 
citations and is nondiscretionary. This rule does not alter any right, 
obligation or prohibition that applies to any person under the EAR. 
Because these revisions are not substantive changes, it is unnecessary 
to provide notice and opportunity for public comment. In addition, the 
30-day delay in effectiveness required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d) is not 
applicable because this rule is not a substantive rule. Because neither 
the Administrative Procedure Act nor any other law requires that notice 
of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given 
for this rule, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable.
