Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Interim final rule; reopening of
comment period.
AGENCY:
We are reopening the
comment period for our interim final
rule that will establish a herd
certification program to control chronic
wasting disease (CWD) in farmed or
captive cervids in the United States. The
interim final rule requested comment on
our decision that our regulations will set
minimum requirements for the
interstate movement of farmed or
captive cervids but not preempt State or
local laws or regulations that are more
restrictive than our regulations, except
any such laws or regulations that
prohibit or further restrict the transit
through a State of deer, elk, and moose
that are otherwise eligible for interstate
movement. This action will allow
interested persons additional time to
prepare and submit comments on our
preemption policy with respect to CWD.
This document also indicates that we
will consider comments on issues other
than our preemption policy for future
rulemaking.
SUMMARY:
We will consider all comments
that we receive on or before August 13,
2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June
13, 2012, we published in the Federal
Register (77 FR 35542–35571, Docket
No. 00–108–8) an interim final rule that
will establish a herd certification
program to control chronic wasting
disease (CWD) in farmed or captive
cervids in the United States. The
interim final rule will be effective on
August 13, 2012.
In the interim final rule, we requested
comments specifically on our decision
not to preempt State and local laws and
regulations that are more restrictive than
our regulations with respect to CWD,
except any such laws or regulations that
prohibit or further restrict the transit
through a State of deer, elk, and moose
that are otherwise eligible for interstate
movement. That decision was discussed
in section III of the Background section
of the interim final rule, under the
heading ‘‘APHIS’ Decision Not to
Preempt More Restrictive State
Requirements on Farmed or Captive
Cervids With Respect to CWD,’’
beginning on 77 FR 35545.
Comments on our decisions regarding
preemption of State and local laws and
regulations were required to be received
on or before July 13, 2012. We are
reopening the comment period on
Docket No. 00–108–8 until August 13,
2012. This action will allow interested
persons additional time to prepare and
submit comments. We will also consider
all comments received between July 14,
2012, and the date of this notice.
The interim final rule indicated that
we will publish another document in
the Federal Register after the comment
period closes that will include a
discussion of any comments we receive
on our preemption policy and any

We still plan to do this. However, we
have received comments on aspects of
the interim final rule other than our
preemption policy. While we will not
address these comments in our
document discussing our preemption
policy, we will consider these
comments to determine whether future
rulemaking may be necessary, and we
encourage commenters to address any
aspect of the interim final rule that they
wish to.

Final rule.
This action modifies three
VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR)
Federal airways V–10, V–12, and V–508
in the vicinity of Olathe, KS. The FAA
is taking this action to adjust the airway
route structure due to the planned
decommissioning of the Johnson County
VOR navigation aid located on Johnson
County Executive Airport, Olathe, KS.
The establishment of the WETZL fix is
canceled due to lack of extended service
volume, and replaced with the existing
DODSN fix, thereby making a onedegree correction to the Napoleon, MO,
radial in the V–10 and V–12 airway
descriptions. This action also removes
the reference to the decommissioning of
the Distance Measuring Equipment
(DME) portion of the Johnson County
VOR/DME navigation aid, as it remains
in service.
DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC,
September 20, 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:
SUMMARY:
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
History
On Tuesday, February 21, 2012, the
FAA published in the Federal Register
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) to modify VOR Federal airways
V–10, V–12, and V–508, in the vicinity
of Olathe, KS (77 FR 9876), due to the
planned decommissioning of the
Johnson County VOR navigation aid.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal. One positive comment from
the Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association was received supporting the
proposed action and no negative
comments were received.
The NPRM referenced the planned
decommissioning of the Johnson County
VOR/DME navigation aid in the
Summary, Background, and Proposal
sections, in error. The FAA’s planned
decommissioning action is for the VOR
portion of the Johnson County VOR/
DME navigation aid only. The DME
equipment will remain in service.
Subsequent to the ending of the
comment period, the proposed action to
establish the WETZL fix in the same
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:01 Jul 19, 2012
Jkt 226001
geographic location as the
decommissioned Johnson County VOR,
and use it to replace the VOR in the V–
10 and V–12 airway descriptions, was
changed to using the DODSN fix already
established on the airways. The FAA
took this action based on the airways
not passing flight check at multiple
altitudes from 4,000 feet MSL to 15,000
feet MSL due to the lack of extended
service volume issues at WETZL fix.
The effect of this change on the existing
V–10 and V–12 airways is negligible;
requiring a one-degree correction to the
Napoleon, MO, navigation aid radial
used to describe the fix’s location from
what was proposed in the NPRM. The
corrected Napoleon, MO, radial
information is changed from ‘‘Napoleon,
MO, 242°(T)/235°(M) radial’’ to
‘‘Napoleon, MO, 243°(T)/236°(M)
radial.’’ Only the true radial information
is published in this rule.
With the exception of minor editorial
changes and the changes noted above,
this amendment is the same as that
proposed in the NPRM.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
modifying V–10, V–12, and V–508 in
the vicinity of Olathe, KS, due to the
planned decommissioning of the OJC
VOR in July 2012.
To retain the airway structure of V–
10 and V–12 in the vicinity of Olathe,
KS, the DODSN fix (described by the
intersection of Emporia, KS, and
Napoleon, MO, navigation aid radials),
replaces the OJC VOR in the airway
descriptions. Specifically, the amended
V–10 and V–12 airway descriptions
replace the ‘‘Johnson County, KS’’
reference with ‘‘INT Emporia 063° and
Napoleon, MO, 243° radials’’.
The amended V–508 now terminates
at the existing RUGBB fix (described by
the intersection of Topeka, KS, and
Kansas City, MO, navigation aid
radials). Ending V–508 at the RUGBB fix
retains the capability for eastbound
aircraft to continue to destinations
further east or northeast via transition
from V–508 to V–502.
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order
7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and
effective September 15, 2011, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The VOR Federal Airways listed in
this document will be subsequently
published in the Order.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not
a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (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 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 VOR Federal airways in the
vicinity of Olathe, KS.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action is categorically excluded from
further environmental documentation
according to FAA Order 1050.1E,
paragraphs 311a. The implementation of
this action will not result in any
extraordinary circumstances in
accordance with paragraph 304 of Order
1050.1E.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule
amends Title 14 of the Code of Federal

establishing, amending, suspending, or
revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums
and/or ODPS. The complete regulators
description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP
for an identified airport is listed on FAA
form documents which are incorporated
by reference in this amendment under
5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14
CFR 97.20. The applicable FAA Forms
are FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–
5, 8260–15A, and 8260–15B when
required by an entry on 8260–15A.
The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, in addition to
their complex nature and the need for
a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and
impractical. Furthermore, airmen do not
use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their depiction on charts printed
by publishers of aeronautical materials.
The advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of
the complete description of each SIAP,
Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on
FAA forms is unnecessary. This
amendment provides the affected CFR
sections and specifies the types of SIAPs
and the effective dates of the, associated
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. This
amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the
amendment number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Tuesday, February 21, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal
Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to modify VOR Federal
airways V-10, V-12, and V-508, in the vicinity of Olathe, KS (77 FR
9876), due to the planned decommissioning of the Johnson County VOR
navigation aid. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. One
positive comment from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association was
received supporting the proposed action and no negative comments were
received.
The NPRM referenced the planned decommissioning of the Johnson
County VOR/DME navigation aid in the Summary, Background, and Proposal
sections, in error. The FAA's planned decommissioning action is for the
VOR portion of the Johnson County VOR/DME navigation aid only. The DME
equipment will remain in service.
Subsequent to the ending of the comment period, the proposed action
to establish the WETZL fix in the same geographic location as the
decommissioned Johnson County VOR, and use it to replace the VOR in the
V-10 and V-12 airway descriptions, was changed to using the DODSN fix
already established on the airways. The FAA took this action based on
the airways not passing flight check at multiple altitudes from 4,000
feet MSL to 15,000 feet MSL due to the lack of extended service volume
issues at WETZL fix. The effect of this change on the existing V-10 and
V-12 airways is negligible; requiring a one-degree correction to the
Napoleon, MO, navigation aid radial used to describe the fix's location
from what was proposed in the NPRM. The corrected Napoleon, MO, radial
information is changed from ``Napoleon, MO, 242[deg](T)/235[deg](M)
radial'' to ``Napoleon, MO, 243[deg](T)/236[deg](M) radial.'' Only the
true radial information is published in this rule.
With the exception of minor editorial changes and the changes noted
above, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the NPRM.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying V-10, V-12, and V-508 in the vicinity of Olathe,
KS, due to the planned decommissioning of the OJC VOR in July 2012.
To retain the airway structure of V-10 and V-12 in the vicinity of
Olathe, KS, the DODSN fix (described by the intersection of Emporia,
KS, and Napoleon, MO, navigation aid radials), replaces the OJC VOR in
the airway descriptions. Specifically, the amended V-10 and V-12 airway
descriptions replace the ``Johnson County, KS'' reference with ``INT
Emporia 063[deg] and Napoleon, MO, 243[deg] radials''.
The amended V-508 now terminates at the existing RUGBB fix
(described by the intersection of Topeka, KS, and Kansas City, MO,
navigation aid radials). Ending V-508 at the RUGBB fix retains the
capability for eastbound aircraft to continue to destinations further
east or northeast via transition from V-508 to V-502.
VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order
7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal Airways
listed in this document will be subsequently published in the Order.
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 Department of Transportation (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 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 VOR Federal airways in the vicinity of Olathe, KS.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action is categorically excluded
from further environmental documentation according to FAA Order
1050.1E, paragraphs 311a. The implementation of this action will not
result in any extraordinary circumstances in accordance with paragraph
304 of Order 1050.1E.
