SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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 the Air Traffic Service (ATS) route structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA–2023–2247 in the Federal Register (88 FR 78265; November 15, 2023), proposing to amend VOR Federal Airway V–132 and revoke VOR Federal Airways V–131, V–307, and V–350 due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Chanute, KS, VOR/ DME NAVAID. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. Incorporation by Reference VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) 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 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO 7400.11H 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing a revision in the NRC's ``Regulatory Guide'' 
series. This series was developed to describe methods that are 
acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the 
agency's regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in 
evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and to describe 
information that the staff needs in its review of applications for 
permits and licenses.
    The proposed Revision 1 to RG 1.30 was issued with a temporary 
identification of Draft Regulatory Guide (DG)-1419 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML23222A182). This revision of this

[[Page 31603]]

guide (Revision 1) describes an approach that is acceptable to the NRC 
staff to meet the regulatory requirements for installation, inspection, 
and testing for Class 1E power, instrumentation, and control equipment 
at production and utilization facilities. RG 1.30, Revision 1 endorses, 
with a clarification, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 
(IEEE) Standard 336-2020, ``IEEE Recommended Practice for Installation, 
Inspection, and Testing for Class 1E Power, Instrumentation, and 
Control Equipment at Nuclear Facilities.''

II. Additional Information

    The NRC published a notice of the availability of DG-1419 in the 
Federal Register on December 20, 2023 (88 FR 87967) for a 30-day public 
comment period. The public comment period closed on January 19, 2024. 
Public comments on DG-1419 and the staff responses to the public 
comments are available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML24040A165.
    As noted in the Federal Register on December 9, 2022 (87 FR 75671), 
this document is being published in the ``Rules'' section of the 
Federal Register to comply with publication requirements under chapter 
I of title 1 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

III. Congressional Review Act

    This RG is a rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act (5 
U.S.C. 801-808). However, the Office of Management and Budget has not 
found it to be a major rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act.

IV. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and Issue Finality

    Issuance of RG 1.30, Revision 1, does not constitute backfitting as 
that term is defined in 10 CFR 50.109, ``Backfitting,'' and as 
described in NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.4, ``Management of 
Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information 
Requests''; affect the issue finality of an approval issued under 10 
CFR part 52, ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear 
Power Plants''; or constitute forward fitting as that term is defined 
and described in MD 8.4 because, as explained in RG 1.30, Revision 1, 
licensees are not required to comply with the positions set forth in 
the RG.

V. Submitting Suggestions for Improvement of Regulatory Guides

    A member of the public may, at any time, submit suggestions to the 
NRC for improvement of existing RGs or for the development of new RGs. 
Suggestions can be submitted on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/reg-guides/contactus.html. 
Suggestions will be considered in future updates and enhancements to 
the ``Regulatory Guide'' series.
