This amendment adopts
miscellaneous amendments to the
required IFR (instrument flight rules)
altitudes and changeover points for
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or
direct routes for which a minimum or
maximum en route authorized IFR
altitude is prescribed. This regulatory
action is needed because of changes
occurring in the National Airspace
System. These changes are designed to
provide for the safe and efficient use of
the navigable airspace under instrument
conditions in the affected areas.
Effective 0901 UTC, June 25,

This
amendment to part 95 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95)
amends, suspends, or revokes IFR
altitudes governing the operation of all
aircraft in flight over a specified route
or any portion of that route, as well as
the changeover points (COPs) for
Federal airways, jet routes, or direct
routes as prescribed in part 95.

SUMMARY:

Low frequency
ballasts
Sfmt 4700
The specified IFR altitudes, when
used in conjunction with the prescribed
changeover points for those routes,
ensure navigation aid coverage that is
adequate for safe flight operations and
free of frequency interference. The
reasons and circumstances that create
the need for this amendment involve
matters of flight safety and operational
efficiency in the National Airspace
System, are related to published
aeronautical charts that are essential to
the user, and provide for the safe and
efficient use of the navigable airspace.
In addition, those various reasons or
circumstances require making this
amendment effective before the next
scheduled charting and publication date
of the flight information to assure its
timely availability to the user. The
effective date of this amendment reflects
those considerations. In view of the
close and immediate relationship
between these regulatory changes and
safety in air commerce, I find that notice
and public procedure before adopting
this amendment are impracticable and
contrary to the public interest and that
good cause exists for making the
amendment effective in less than 30
days.
Conclusion
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. It, therefore—(1) Is not a
E:\FR\FM\05JNR1.SGM

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

‘‘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. For the same
reason, the FAA certifies that this
amendment will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUMMARY:
Background of the Attorney Advisor
Program
On August 9, 2007, we issued an
interim final rule permitting some
attorney advisors to conduct certain
prehearing procedures and issue
decisions that are fully favorable when
the documentary record warrants. 72 FR
44763. We instituted this practice to
provide more timely service to the

increasing number of applicants for
Social Security disability benefits and
Supplemental Security Income
payments based on disability. We
considered the public comments we
received on the interim final rule and,
on March 3, 2008, we issued a final rule
without changes. 73 FR 11349. Under
this rule, some attorney advisors may
develop claims and, in appropriate
cases, issue fully favorable decisions
before a hearing.
We originally intended the attorney
advisor program to be a temporary
modification to our procedures.
Therefore, we included in sections
404.942(g) and 416.1442(g) of the
interim final rule a provision that the
program would end on August 10, 2009,
unless we decided to either terminate
the rule earlier or extend it beyond that
date by publication of a final rule in the
Federal Register. Since that time, we
have periodically extended the sunset
date; as we noted above, the current
sunset date for the program is August 7,
2015. 78 FR 45460.
Explanation of Extension
When we published the final rules
reinstating the attorney advisor program
in 2008, we discussed a variety of
concerns about the program and we
stated our intent to closely monitor it
and to make changes to the program if
it did not meet our expectations. 73 FR
11349, 11350, 11351, and 11352.
We explained in the final rule in 2008
that the number of requests for hearings
has increased significantly in recent
years. We anticipate that we will
continue to receive a high number of
requests for hearings. The attorney
advisor program has assisted our efforts
to reduce the backlog of pending
hearing requests, and we believe that
the program should continue at this
time.
In order to preserve the maximum
degree of flexibility we need to
effectively manage our hearings-level

workloads, we have decided to extend
the attorney advisor rule for another 2
years, until August 4, 2017. As before,
we reserve the authority to end the
program earlier or to extend it by
publishing a final rule in the Federal
Register.
Regulatory Procedures
Justification for Issuing Final Rule
Without Notice and Comment
We follow the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking
procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553
when developing regulations. Section
702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42
U.S.C. 902(a)(5). The APA provides
exceptions to its notice and public
comment procedures when an agency
finds there is good cause for dispensing
with such procedures because they are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest. We have
determined that good cause exists for
dispensing with the notice and public
comment procedures for this rule. 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B). Good cause exists
because this final rule only extends the
sunset date of an existing rule. It makes
no substantive changes to the rule. The
current regulations expressly provide
that we may extend or terminate this
rule. Therefore, we have determined
that opportunity for prior comment is
unnecessary, and we are issuing this
rule as a final rule.
In addition, because we are not
making any substantive changes to the
existing rule, we find that there is good
cause for dispensing with the 30-day
delay in the effective date of a
substantive rule provided by 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3). To ensure that we have
uninterrupted authority to use attorney
advisors to reduce the number of
pending cases at the hearing level, we
find that it is in the public interest to
make this final rule effective on the date
of publication.
