Office of the Secretary

14 CFR Parts 200, 217, 234, 241, 247, 248, 249, 250, 291, 298,

RIN 2139-AA03


Technical Amendments; Organizational Change; Miscellaneous 
Editorial Changes; and Conforming Amendments

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Transportation Statistics under delegated 
authority 49 CFR 1.71(a) amends the Secretary's regulations in order to 
reflect recent Departmental organizational changes, correct outdated 
organizational and statutory references, and eliminate obsolete 
provisions. It also makes editorial changes to correct addresses and 
make other technical corrections. This rule makes no substantive 
changes to current regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on December 26, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bernie Stankus; Regulations Division, 
Office of Airline Information, K-25, U.S. Department of Transportation, 
400 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20590, (202) 366-4387.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    Responsibility for the Department's aviation information program 
was transferred from the Administrator of the Research and Special 
Programs Administration (RSPA) to the Director of the Bureau of 
Transportation Statistics (BTS) in May 1995. Before RSPA, the function 
resided in the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) until the sunset of the 
latter. The office that has this responsibility is the Office of 
Airline Information (OAI). Before the transfer, this office was known 
as the Office of Airline Statistics (OAS) and, prior to a 1990 
reorganization of RSPA, the Office of Aviation Information Management 
(OAIM). This rule reflects the transfer by revising those portions of 
the CFR that still refer to RSPA, CAB, OAS, and OAIM with respect to 
the aviation information program.
    The rule also makes editorial changes throughout the 14 CFR chapter 
II to eliminate obsolete provisions, and to correct addresses, 
terminology, cross-references, and outdated titles of Department 
organizations and officials. These changes are necessitated in part by 
the revision and recodification of the Federal Aviation Act within 
subtitle VII of title 49 of the United States Code (Transportation) by 
action of Pubic Law 103-272, enacted July 5, 1994. 14 CFR 399.100 is 
being removed since it is redundant to 14 CFR part 241 section 19-7(d); 
the policy regarding release of international passenger origin and 
destination statistics remains unchanged.

Notice and Opportunity for Public Comment Unnecessary

    Since this amendment relates to departmental management, 
organization, procedure, and practice, notice and comment are 
unnecessary. The amendments made in this document are ministerial, 
removing obsolete and redundant material and making minor technical and 
terminology changes. For the same reason, good cause exists for not 
publishing this rule at least 30 days before its effective date, as is 
ordinarily required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d). Therefore, this final rule is 
effective upon publication in the Federal Register.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) 
of Executive Order 12866. It has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget under that order. It is not significant under the 
regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Transportation 
(DOT) (44 FR 11040, February 26, 1979). As this rule involves internal 
agency practices and procedures, it will not impose any costs on the 
public.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule contains no reporting or recordkeeping requirements.

Federalism

    The Bureau of Transportation Statistics has analyzed this rule 
under the principles and criteria in Executive Order 12612 and has 
determined that this rule does not have sufficient federalism 
implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

National Environmental Protection Act

    The Bureau of Transportation Statistics has also analyzed the 
proposed amendments for the purpose of the National Environmental 
Protection Act. The amendments will not have any impact on the quality 
of the human environment.
