DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
14 CFR Chapter III
[Docket No. 28636]
CFR Chapter Name Change
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document renames the chapter heading of Chapter III,
Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations. The office of the Associate
Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation, Department of
Transportation became part of the Federal Aviation Administration on
November 15, 1995. As published, Chapter III of 14 Code of Federal
Regulations does not describe commercial space activities as being part
of the Federal Aviation Administration. It is therefore necessary to
rename the chapter heading to reflect that administrative change.
DATES: This final rule is effective July 22, 1996. Comments on the
final rule must be received by August 21, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Comments on this final rule should be mailed, in triplicate,
to Federal Aviation Administration, Office of the Chief Counsel,
Attention: Rules Docket (AGC-200), Docket No. 28636, 800 Independence
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591. Comments delivered must be marked
Docket No. 28636. Comments may be examined in room 915G weekdays
between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., except on Federal holidays.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Laura Montgomery of the Office of the Chief Counsel, Federal Aviation
Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 7th Street, SW.,
Room 10424, Washington, DC 20590. Telephone number: (202) 366-9305.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective November 15, 1995, the Commercial
Space Transportation organization was transferred from the Office of
the Secretary to the Federal Aviation Administration, where it now
operates as the FAA's seventh line of business. Transfer of
Delegations, 60 FR 62762 (Dec. 7, 1995). With the redelegation of
authority, the Director of the Office of Commercial Space
Transportation became the FAA's Associate Administrator for Commercial
Space Transportation. Accordingly, the heading of Chapter III of 14
Code of Federal Regulations is changed to reflect that the implementing
regulations for commercial space transportation are now administered
through the FAA.
In consideration of the foregoing, and under the authority of 49
U.S.C. 70101 through 70119 and 49 CFR 1.45, the Federal Aviation
Administration revises the heading of Chapter III, 14 Code of Federal
Regulations to read as follows:
CHAPTER III--COMMERCIAL SPACE TRANSPORTATION, FEDERAL AVIATION
ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (PARTS 400 TO 499)
Issued in Washington, DC, on July 17, 1996.
Donald P. Byrne,
Assistant Chief Counsel for Regulations, Federal Aviation
Administration.
