SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549.

Extension:
    Rule 17Ad-3(b); SEC File No. 270-424; OMB Control No. 3235-0473.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget a request for approval of extension of the following
previously approved collection of information as discussed below for
Rule 17Ad-3(b) (17 CFR 240.17Ad-3(b)).
    Rule 17Ad-3(b) requires registered transfer agents that for each of
two consecutive months have failed to turnaround at least 75% of all
routine items in accordance with the requirements of Rule 17Ad-2(a) or
to process at least 75% of all routine items in accordance with the
requirements of Rule 17Ad-2(a) to send to the chief executive officer
of each issuer for which such registered transfer agent acts a copy of
the written notice required under Rule 17Ad-2(c), (d), and (h). The
issuer may use the information contained in the notices in several
ways: (1) To provide an early warning to the issuer of the transfer
agent's non-compliance with the Commission's minimum performance
standards regarding registered transfer agents, and (2) to assure that
issuers are aware of certain problems and poor performances with
respect to the transfer agents that are servicing the issuer's
securities. If the issuer does not receive notice of a registered
transfer agent's failure to comply with the Commission's minimum
performance standards then the issuer will be unable to take remedial
action to correct the problem or to find another registered transfer
agent. Pursuant to Rule 17Ad-3(b), a transfer agent that has already
filed a Notice of Non-Compliance with the Commission pursuant to Rule
17Ad-2 will only be required to send a copy of that notice to issuers
when that transfer agent fails to turnaround 75% of all routine items
or to process 75% of all items.
    The Commission estimates that only two transfer agents will meet
the requirements of Rule 17Ad-3(b). If a transfer agent fails to meet
the minimum requirements under 17Ad-3(b), such transfer agent is simply
sending a copy of a form that had already been produced for the
Commission. The Commission estimates a requirement will take each
respondent approximately one hour to complete, for a total annual
estimate burden of two hours at cost of approximately $60.00 for each
hour, which reflect internal labor costs. There are no external costs
associated with sending the notice to issuers.
    Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person
is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be subject
to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) control number.
    Background documentation for this information collection may be
viewed at the following link, http://www.reginfo.gov. General comments
regarding the estimated burden hours should be directed to: (i) Desk
Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,
Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or by
sending an e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Thomas
Bayer, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange
Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria,
Virginia 22312; or by sending an e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>.
Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: June 26, 2011.
Cathy H. Ahn,
Deputy Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2017-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1735]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). The LOMR will be used by
insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings.
For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is shown
in the table below and must be used for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59885; File No. SR-FINRA-2009-015]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Expedited Administration of Promissory Note Cases

May 7, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on April 17, 2009, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(``NASD'')) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I,
II, and III below, which items have been substantially prepared by
FINRA. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on
the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is proposing to adopt Rule 13806 of the Code of Arbitration
Procedure for Industry Disputes (``Industry Code''), to establish
procedures to expedite the administration of arbitrations in which a
member's only claim is that an associated person failed to pay money
owed on a promissory note; and to amend Rules 13214 and 13600 of the
Industry Code to make conforming changes. The text of the proposed rule
change is available on FINRA's Web site at http://www.finra.org, at the
principal office of FINRA and at the Commission's Public Reference
Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. FINRA has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    FINRA is proposing to amend the Industry Code to establish new
procedures to expedite the administration of promissory note cases.
Proposed new Rule 13806 would apply to arbitrations solely involving a
member's claim that an associated person failed to pay money owed on a
promissory note. In order to proceed under the new rule, a claimant
would not be permitted to include any additional allegations in the
Statement of Claim. FINRA is also proposing to amend Rules 13214 and
13600 of the Industry Code to make conforming changes.
    In the absence of additional allegations by members or associated
persons, promissory note cases involve straightforward contracts with
few documents being entered into evidence. The new procedures would
streamline the process for promissory note cases and reduce expenses
for the parties while maintaining the procedural safeguards in the
Industry Code for the associated person against whom a member asserts a
claim.
    Specifically, under the proposed procedures:
     Parties would choose a single public arbitrator from the
roster of arbitrators approved to hear statutory discrimination
claims,\3\ unless an associated person files a counterclaim or third
party claim of more than $100,000, exclusive of interest or expenses,
or the counterclaim or third party claim is unspecified or does not
request money damages.\4\ FINRA believes that the arbitrators on this
roster would be especially suited to resolve these disputes because of
the depth of their experience and their familiarity with employment
law;
     If the associated person does not file an answer,
simplified discovery procedures would apply \5\ and, regardless of the
amount in controversy, the single arbitrator would render an award
based on the pleadings and other materials submitted by the parties.
The arbitrator would be paid an honorarium of $125 for each arbitration
resolved in this manner;\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Rule 13802(c)(3). These specially qualified arbitrators
are attorneys familiar with employment law who have at least ten
years of legal experience. In addition, a chair or single arbitrator
may not have represented primarily the views of employers or of
employees within the last five years. Primarily means 50 percent or
more of the arbitrator's business or professional activities within
the last five years.
    \4\ The $100,000 threshold was chosen because FINRA recently
raised the threshold for a single chair-qualified arbitrator in all
cases to $100,000. Under the rule change, if the amount of a claim
is more than $100,000, exclusive of interest and expenses, or is
unspecified, or if the claim does not request money damages, the
panel will consist of three arbitrators, unless the parties agree in
writing to one arbitrator. See Exchange Act Release No. 59340
(February 2, 2009), 74 FR 6335 (February 6, 2009) (SR-FINRA-2008-
047).
    \5\ Rule 13800(d) (Simplified Arbitration--Discovery and
Additional Evidence) provides for limited discovery in arbitrations
involving $25,000 or less, exclusive of interest and expenses.
    \6\ In simplified arbitration proceedings administered under
Rules 12800 and 13800 (Simplified Arbitration), the arbitrator
honorarium is $125. The honorarium under proposed Rule 13806 is
intended to be consistent with these rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     If the associated person files an answer (but does not
seek any additional relief or assert any counterclaims or third party
claims), regular discovery procedures would apply \7\ and, regardless
of the amount in controversy, the single arbitrator would hold a
hearing; and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The 13500 series of rules would provide for prehearing
procedures and discovery in these cases.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     If the associated person files a counterclaim or third
party claim, then regular discovery procedures would apply and panel
composition would be based on the amount of the counterclaim or third
party claim. If the counterclaim and/or third party claim is not more
than $100,000, exclusive of interest and expenses, the Director \8\
would appoint a single public arbitrator from the roster of arbitrators
approved to hear statutory discrimination claims. If the counterclaim
and/or third party claim is more than $100,000, exclusive of interest
and expenses, then the Director would appoint a three-arbitrator panel.
The Director would appoint one public arbitrator from the roster of
arbitrators approved to hear statutory discrimination claims who would
serve as chairperson, one arbitrator from the public roster, and one
arbitrator from the non-public roster. If the counterclaim or third
party claim is filed after a single arbitrator is appointed, and a
three-arbitrator panel is required, the Director would retain

the appointed arbitrator as chair and appoint two additional
arbitrators (one public and one non-public arbitrator). Regardless of
whether the panel is composed of one or three arbitrators, FINRA would
pay the arbitrators the honoraria provided for in the Industry Code for
arbitrations resolved by a hearing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Rule 13100(k) defines the term ``Director'' to mean the
``Director of FINRA Dispute Resolution. Unless the Code provides
that the Director may not delegate a specific function, the term
includes FINRA staff to whom the Director has delegated authority.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA is proposing to amend Rule 13214 (Payment of Arbitrators) to
reflect that the rule applies to arbitrator honoraria except as
specified in new Rule 13806(f) or as specifically excluded in Rule
13214. Under the proposal, FINRA would pay an arbitrator an honorarium
of $125 for each arbitration in which the associated person does not
file an answer and the award is based on the arbitrator's review of the
pleadings and other materials submitted by the parties. As these are
expedited proceedings, FINRA would not pay an honorarium for resolving
a discovery-related motion without a hearing session or for resolving a
contested motion concerning issuance of a subpoena without a hearing
session. In instances where full discovery would be conducted under the
13500 series of rules, FINRA would pay the honorarium prescribed in
Rule 13214 for discovery-related motions without a hearing session and
for contested motions concerning issuance of a subpoena without a
hearing session.
    FINRA is also proposing to amend Rule 13600 (Required Hearings) to
reflect that a hearing will be held unless new Rule 13806(e)(1)
provides otherwise. Under the proposal, if the associated person does
not file an answer, no initial prehearing conference or hearing would
be held. Generally, in the absence of additional allegations by members
or associated persons, promissory note cases involve straight forward
contracts with few documents entered into evidence. FINRA believes
that, in these situations, promissory note cases would be processed
more quickly and efficiently and expenses would be reduced for the
parties and the forum if the arbitrator were to render the award on the
pleadings and other materials submitted by the parties.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The rationale for the proposed rule change was confirmed in
a phone conversation with Margo Hassan and Ken Andrichik of FINRA,
on May 6, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted in Item 2 of this filing, FINRA will announce the
effective date of the proposed rule change in a Regulatory Notice to be
published no later than 60 days following Commission approval. The
effective date will be 30 days following publication of the Regulatory
Notice announcing Commission approval.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\10\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. Generally, in the absence of additional allegations by
members or associated persons, promissory note cases involve straight
forward contracts with few documents entered into evidence. FINRA
believes that, under the proposal, these promissory note cases would be
processed more quickly and efficiently and expenses would be reduced
for the parties and the forum. FINRA does not believe that the new
procedures would negatively impact its administration of other cases
filed with the forum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

BILLING CODE 8010-01-P


Comment Info: =================

General Comment:I was a traditional cigarette smoker from the age of 14 until the age of 48.  I smoked a pack a day and although I tried many methods of quitting, including the patch, nicorette gum, and medication, nothing worked.  I knew how badly cigarettes were harming my health yet I could not quit.  It  was a horrible struggle.  Then I found the electronic cigarette two and a half years ago and I have never looked back.  I have no desire to smoke “real” cigarettes anymore, and I feel like I have a new lease on life.  My health is back to normal, and I can “breathe” again.  I feel that by switching to electronic cigarettes, I have greatly reduced any health risks.

I feel that putting electronics cigarettes into the same category as traditional cigarettes will be detrimental to many users of the electronic cigarette, and to the general public. I believe that many electronic cigarette users will have to resort back to cigarettes due to taxes and small vendors potentially being put out of business.

Smoking bans are supposedly enacted to protect the public from the harm of secondhand smoke, but e-cigarettes have not been shown to cause harm to bystanders. In fact, all evidence to date shows that the low health risks associated with e-cigarettes are comparable to other smokeless nicotine products.

The low risks of e-cigarettes is supported by research done by Dr. Siegel of Boston University, Dr. Eissenberg of Virginia Commonwealth, Dr Maciej L Goniewicz of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Dr. Laugesen of Health New Zealand, Dr. Igor Burstyn of Drexel University, and by the fact that the FDA testing, in spite of its press statement, failed to find harmful levels of carcinogens or toxic levels of any chemical in the vapor.

A comprehensive review conducted by Dr. Igor Burstyn of Drexel University School of Public Health based on over 9,000 observations of e-cigarette liquid and vapor found "no apparent concern" for bystanders exposed to e-cigarette vapor, even under "worst case" assumptions about exposure.

Electronic cigarette use is easy to distinguish from actual smoking. Although some e-cigarettes resemble real cigarettes, many do not. It is easy to tell when someone lights a cigarette from the smell of smoke. E-cigarette vapor is practically odorless, and generally any detectable odor is not unpleasant and smells nothing like smoke. Additionally, e-cigarette users can decide whether to release any vapor ("discreet vaping").  With so little evidence of use, enforcing use bans on electronic cigarettes would be nearly impossible.

The ability to use electronic cigarettes in public spaces will actually improve public health by inspiring other smokers to switch. Surveys of thousands of users indicate that the majority of those who switch completely replace tobacco cigarettes with the electronic cigarettes, reducing their health risks by an estimated 99%.

You can find more information at the CASAA.org website, as well as the CASAA Research Library, for more information.

I am requesting that the comment period remain open for 180 days.

    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. Background

    Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of the registration review process,
the Agency has completed proposed interim decisions for all pesticides
listed in the Table in Unit IV. Through this program, EPA is ensuring
that each pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and
other knowledge, including its effects on human health and the
environment.

III. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in the Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the
registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only
if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA
section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must
perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the
use of a pesticide in or on food.

IV. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability
of EPA's proposed interim registration review decisions for the
pesticides shown in Table 1, and opens a 60-day public comment period
on the proposed interim registration review decisions.

    The registration review docket for a pesticide includes earlier
documents related to the registration review case. For example, the
review opened with a Preliminary Work Plan, for public comment. A Final
Work Plan was placed in the docket following public comment on the
Preliminary Work Plan.
    The documents in the dockets describe EPA's rationales for
conducting additional risk assessments for the registration review of
the pesticides included in the tables in Unit IV, as well as the
Agency's subsequent risk findings and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed interim registration review
decisions are supported by the rationales included in those documents.
Following public comment, the Agency will issue interim or final
registration review decisions for the pesticides listed in Table 1 in
Unit IV.
    The registration review final rule at 40 CFR 155.58(a) provides for
a minimum 60-day public comment period on all proposed interim
registration review decisions. This comment period is intended to
provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating
any necessary amendments to the proposed interim decision. All comments
should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be
received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will
become part of the docket for the pesticides included in the Tables in
Unit IV. Comments received after the close of the comment period will
be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
    The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and may provide a ``Response to Comments Memorandum'' in
the docket. The interim registration review decision will explain the
effect that any comments had on the interim decision and provide the
Agency's response to significant comments.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0750; Airspace Docket No. 20-ACE-17]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of the Class E Airspace; Trenton, MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Trenton Municipal Airport, Trenton, MO.
This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Trenton non-directional beacon (NDB) navigation
information to the instrument procedures at this airport. The
geographic coordinates of the airport are also being updated to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. Airspace redesign is
necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at this airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 25, 2021. Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under Title 1
Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual revision of
FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

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
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 the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Trenton Municipal Airport, Trenton, MO, to support
instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 53310; August 28, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0750 to
amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Trenton Municipal Airport, Trenton, MO. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends the Class E airspace extending upward 700 feet above the
surface to within a 6.4-mile radius of Trenton Municipal Airport,
Trenton, MO, and removes the Trenton NDB and associated extensions from
the airspace legal description; and updates the geographic coordinates
of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Trenton NDB, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at this airport.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 so 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 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
