Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 91 / Thursday, May 11, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
on behalf of certain institutions in an
account at a Reserve Bank may receive
earnings to be paid by the Reserve Bank
at least once each quarter, at a rate or
rates not to exceed the general level of
short-term interest rates.3 Institutions
that are eligible to receive earnings on
their balances held at Reserve Banks
(‘‘eligible institutions’’) include
depository institutions and certain other
institutions.4 Section 19 also provides
that the Board may prescribe regulations
concerning the payment of earnings on
balances at a Reserve Bank.5 Prior to
these amendments, Regulation D
established IORB at 4.9 percent.6
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
II. Amendment to IORB
The Board is amending § 204.10(b)(1)
of Regulation D to establish IORB at 5.15
percent. The amendment represents a
0.25 percentage point increase in IORB.
This decision was announced on May 3,
2023, with an effective date of May 4,
2023, in the Federal Reserve
Implementation Note that accompanied
the FOMC’s statement on May 3, 2023.
The FOMC statement stated that the
Committee decided to raise the target
range for the federal funds rate to 5 to
51⁄4 percent.
The Federal Reserve Implementation
Note stated, ‘‘The Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System voted
unanimously to raise the interest rate
paid on reserve balances to 5.15 percent,
effective May 4, 2023.’’
As a result, the Board is amending
§ 204.10(b)(1) of Regulation D to
establish IORB at 5.15 percent.
III. Administrative Procedure Act
In general, the Administrative
Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’) 7 imposes three
principal requirements when an agency
promulgates legislative rules (rules
made pursuant to Congressionallydelegated authority): (1) publication
with adequate notice of a proposed rule;
(2) followed by a meaningful
opportunity for the public to comment
on the rule’s content; and (3)
publication of the final rule not less
than 30 days before its effective date.
The APA provides that notice and
comment procedures do not apply if the
agency for good cause finds them to be
‘‘unnecessary, impracticable, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ 8 Section 553(d)
of the APA also provides that
publication at least 30 days prior to a
rule’s effective date is not required for
3 12
U.S.C. 461(b)(1)(A) and (b)(12)(A).
12 U.S.C. 461(b)(1)(A) & (b)(12)(C); see also
12 CFR 204.2(y).
5 See 12 U.S.C. 461(b)(12)(B).
6 See 12 CFR 204.10(b)(1).

(1) a substantive rule which grants or
recognizes an exemption or relieves a
restriction; (2) interpretive rules and
statements of policy; or (3) a rule for
which the agency finds good cause for
shortened notice and publishes its
reasoning with the rule.9
The Board has determined that good
cause exists for finding that the notice,
public comment, and delayed effective
date provisions of the APA are
unnecessary, impracticable, or contrary
to the public interest with respect to
these final amendments to Regulation D.
The rate change for IORB that is
reflected in the final amendment to
Regulation D was made with a view
towards accommodating commerce and
business and with regard to their
bearing upon the general credit situation
of the country. Notice and public
comment would prevent the Board’s
action from being effective as promptly
as necessary in the public interest and
would not otherwise serve any useful
purpose. Notice, public comment, and a
delayed effective date would create
uncertainty about the finality and
effectiveness of the Board’s action and
undermine the effectiveness of that
action. Accordingly, the Board has
determined that good cause exists to
dispense with the notice, public
comment, and delayed effective date
procedures of the APA with respect to
this final amendment to Regulation D.

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The Regulatory Flexibility Act
(‘‘RFA’’) does not apply to a rulemaking
where a general notice of proposed
rulemaking is not required.10 As noted
previously, the Board has determined
that it is unnecessary and contrary to
the public interest to publish a general
notice of proposed rulemaking for this
final rule. Accordingly, the RFA’s
requirements relating to an initial and
final regulatory flexibility analysis do
not apply.
Federal Aviation Administration
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’) of 1995,11 the
Board reviewed the final rule under the
authority delegated to the Board by the
Office of Management and Budget. The
final rule contains no requirements
subject to the PRA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Authority for This Rulemaking
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 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 amends
Class E airspace in Shelbyville, TN, to
support IFR operations in the area.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA 2023–0189 in the Federal Register
(88 FR 13739; March 6, 2023), amending
Class E airspace at Bomar Field/
Shelbyville Municipal Airport,
Shelbyville, Tennessee. Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
Differences From the NPRM
Subsequent to publication, the FAA
found that Ellington Airport was
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:20 May 10, 2023
Jkt 259001
nadvertently omitted from the airspace
description. This action corrects the
error.
Incorporation by Reference
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1 annually. This document amends
the current version of that order, FAA
Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19,
2022, and effective September 15, 2022.
FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. These
amendments will be published in the
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
for Bomar Field/Shelbyville Municipal
Airport, Shelbyville, Tennessee, as an
airspace evaluation determined an
update for this airport necessary. This
action also updates this airport’s
geographic coordinates, as well as the
geographic coordinates of Ellington
Airport. In addition, this action removes
the Shelbyville VOR/DME from the
description, as it is not necessary to
describe the airspace, and updates the
description headers by removing the
city names of each airport line.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the
safety and management of instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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
‘‘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 minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5a.
This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant
environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant the preparation of an
environmental assessment.

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

described in Subtitle VII, Part A,

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 proposes to
revoke Alaskan VOR Airway V–489.
History
The FAA published a NPRM for
Docket No. FAA 2023–0512 in the
Federal Register (88 FR 14516; March 9,
2023), proposing to revoke Alaskan VOR
Federal Airway V–489. Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal. Two
comments were received, and both
offered alternative solutions to resolve
the automated flight plan conflicts
between New York ARTCC and
Anchorage ARTCC.
Once commentor suggested that air
traffic control require pilots to use the
term Domestic V–489 when wanting to
arrive in the New York area or Alaskan
V–489 when wanting to arrive in
Alaska. This suggestion, while
appreciated, would not resolve the
automation conflicts. The conflicts arise
when a pilot electronically files their
flight plan and V–489 is included in the
routing. Automated flight plans that
include the Domestic V–489 routinely
appear in the Anchorage ARTCC
computer system when they are
intended for New York ARTCC.
Another commentor suggested to
rename one or both VOR routes and to
revoke the domestic V–489. The FAA
considered both alternative solutions
and determined that revoking the
Alaskan V–489 would provide the most
benefit. The Alaskan V–489 is rarely
used and offers indirect routing between
the Galena, AK (GAL), VOR/Distance
Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and
the Tanana, AK (TAL), VOR/DME
navigational aids (NAVAID).
Additionally, two other routes, Alaskan
VOR Federal airway V–488 and Area
Navigation (RNAV) route T–225, offer
direct routing between the Galena, AK,
VOR/DME and the Tanana, AK, VOR/
DME NAVAIDs. Revoking the Alaskan

Frm 00005
Fmt 4700

V–489 would resolve the automated
flight plan conflicts and reduce the
complexity of route structures within
Alaskan airspace. Further, unlike the
Alaskan V–489, the domestic V–489 is
routinely used by pilots in the New
York and New Jersey area.
Incorporation by Reference
Alaskan VOR Federal Airways are
published in paragraph 6010(b) of FAA
Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document amends the current version of
that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G,
dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO
7400.11G is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. These amendments will be
published in the next update to FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
revoking Alaskan VOR Federal airway
V–489 in its entirety. The domestic VOR
Federal airway V–489 remains
unchanged.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
