II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of October 7, 2009 (74 FR 51599) (FRL-8792-
7), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP
8F7371) by BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Drive, P.O. Box 13528, Research
Triangle Park, NC 27709. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.624 be
amended by establishing tolerances for residues of the fungicide
metrafenone, (3-bromo-6-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-
methylphenyl) methanone, in or on table and wine grapes at 4.5 parts
per million (ppm), juice grapes at 0.45 ppm, and raisin grapes at 17
ppm. That notice

referenced a summary of the petition prepared by BASF Corporation, the
registrant, which is available in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in response to the
notice of filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has
determined that the proposed tolerances for wine and juice grapes are
not needed. The reason for this change is explained in Unit IV.D.

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a
tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a
food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section
408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines ``safe'' to mean that ``there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure
to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary
exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable
information.'' This includes exposure through drinking water and in
residential settings, but does not include occupational exposure.
Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to give special
consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide
chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and
children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue. * *
*''
    Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, and the factors
specified in section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to
make a determination on aggregate exposure for metrafenone including
exposure resulting from the tolerances established by this action.
EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with metrafenone
follows.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of
the results of the studies to human risk. EPA has also considered
available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities
of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and
children.
    Metrafenone has low acute toxicity via oral, inhalation and dermal
routes. It is not a dermal sensitizer, or a skin or eye irritant.
Subchronic and chronic studies showed that the liver was the primary
organ affected in toxicity studies with mice, rats and rabbits, along
with impacts on body weights and body weight gains. After chronic
durations, the liver and body weight effects were accompanied by kidney
effects. In the subchronic and chronic toxicity studies in dogs, no
effects were seen at any dose, up to 500 milligrams/kilogram/day (mg/
kg/day). In developmental toxicity studies in rats and rabbits, there
were no effects observed in fetuses at any dose level up to 700 mg/kg/
day in rabbits and 1,000 mg/kg/day in rats. The maternal effects in the
rabbit developmental study consisted of liver effects as well as
decreased body weight gains and food consumption. In the rat
developmental toxicity study, no effects were observed in the maternal
animals. In the 2-generation reproduction study, there was no evidence
of reproductive effects or any impacts on the endocrine system. Effects
in parental animals and offspring consisted of decreased body weights
and body weight gains, and these were observed at similar doses. In
addition, in the parental animals liver effects and decreased thymus
weights were observed at the same high doses that resulted in decreased
body weight gains.
    Based on a battery of mutagenicity studies, metrafenone is not
considered to be genotoxic. In accordance with the EPA's Final
Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (March, 2005), metrafenone is
classified as ``Suggestive Evidence of Carcinogenicity,'' and concluded
that human risk to liver tumorgenesis would not be expected at exposure
levels that do not cause tumors in mice. The no-observed-adverse-
effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level
(LOAEL) selected for the chronic reference dose (cRfD) are based on
hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity observed at doses lower than the
liver tumor response dose. Thus, the cRfD is protective of the cancer
effects. The weight of evidence considerations can be found in the
Federal Register of September 20, 2006 (71 FR 54915) (FRL-8093-7).
    Specific information on the studies received and the nature of the
adverse effects caused by metrafenone as well as the NOAEL and the
LOAEL from the toxicity studies can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in document Metrafenone: Human Health Risk
Assessment for Foliar Use on Grapes in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2008-0732.

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    Once a pesticide's toxicological profile is determined, EPA
identifies toxicological points of departure (POD) and levels of
concern to use in evaluating the risk posed by human exposure to the
pesticide. For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no
appreciable risk, the toxicological POD is used as the basis for
derivation of reference values for risk assessment. PODs are developed
based on a careful analysis of the doses in each toxicological study to
determine the dose at which the NOAEL and the LOAEL. Uncertainty/safety
factors (U/SF) are used in conjunction with the POD to calculate a safe
exposure level--generally referred to as a population-adjusted dose
(PAD) (a = acute c = chronic) or a reference dose (RfD)--and a safe
margin of exposure (MOE). For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes
that any amount of exposure will lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the
Agency estimates risk in terms of the probability of an occurrence of
the adverse effect expected in a lifetime. For more information on the
general principles EPA uses in risk characterization and a complete
description of the risk assessment process, see http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/riskassess.htm.
    A summary of the toxicological endpoints for Metrafenone used for
human risk assessment is shown in Table 1 of this unit.

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary
exposure to metrafenone, EPA considered exposure under the petitioned-
for tolerances. EPA assessed dietary exposures from metrafenone in food
as follows:
    i. Acute exposure. Quantitative acute dietary exposure and risk
assessments are performed for a food-use pesticide, if a toxicological
study has indicated the possibility of an effect of concern occurring
as a result of a 1-day or single exposure.
    No such effects were identified in the toxicological studies for
Metrafenone; therefore, a quantitative acute dietary exposure
assessment is unnecessary.
    ii. Chronic exposure. In conducting the chronic dietary exposure
assessment EPA used the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model software with
the Food Commodity Intake Database (DEEM-FCID, Version 2.03), which
incorporates food consumption data as reported by respondents in the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 1994-1996 and 1998 Nationwide
Continuing Surveys of Food Intake by Individuals (CSFII). No Percent
Crop Treated (PCT) information was incorporated into the dietary
exposure and risk assessment; it was assumed that 100 PCT for grapes.
As to residue levels, EPA assumed treated commodities would contain
tolerance level residues 2X higher than the proposed tolerances to
account for additional residues of potential concern with respect to
toxicity which were not included in the proposed tolerance for
enforcement purposes.
    iii. Cancer. EPA determines whether quantitative cancer exposure
and risk assessments are appropriate for a food-use pesticide based on
the weight of the evidence from cancer studies and other relevant data.
Cancer risk is quantified using a linear or nonlinear approach. If
sufficient information on the carcinogenic mode of action is available,
a threshold or non-linear approach is used and a cancer RfD is
calculated based on an earlier noncancer key event. If carcinogenic
mode of action data are not available, or if the mode of action data
determines a mutagenic mode of action, a default linear cancer slope
factor approach is utilized. Based on the data summarized and
referenced in Unit III.A., EPA has concluded that metrafenone is
classified as ``Suggestive Evidence of Carcinogenicity.'' Cancer risk
was assessed using the same exposure estimates as discussed in Unit
III.C.1.ii.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. The Agency used screening
level water exposure models in the dietary exposure analysis and risk
assessment for metrafenone in drinking water. These simulation models
take into account data on the physical, chemical, and fate/transport
characteristics of metrafenone. Further information regarding EPA
drinking water models used in pesticide exposure assessment can be
found at http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/index.htm.
    Based on the First Index Reservoir Screening Tool (FIRST),
Pesticide Root Zone Model/Exposure Analysis Modeling System (PRZM/
EXAMS) and Screening Concentration in Ground Water (SCI-GROW) models,
the estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWCs) of metrafenone for
chronic exposures for non-cancer assessments are estimated to be 22.82
parts per billion (ppb) for surface water and 0.097 ppb for ground
water.
    Modeled estimates of drinking water concentrations were directly
entered into the dietary exposure model. For chronic (non-cancer)
dietary risk assessment, the water concentration of value 22.82 ppb was
used to assess the contribution to drinking water because the Tier II
PRZM/EXAMS value was higher than the Tier I FIRST and groundwater
values.
    3. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary
exposure (e.g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control,
termiticides, and flea and tick control on pets).
    Metrafenone is not registered for any specific use patterns that
would result in residential exposure.
    4. Cumulative effects from substances with a common mechanism of
toxicity. Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when
considering whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the
Agency consider ``available information'' concerning the cumulative
effects of a particular pesticide's residues and ``other substances
that have a common mechanism of toxicity.''
    EPA has not found metrafenone to share a common mechanism of
toxicity with any other substances, and metrafenone does not appear to
produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the
purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that
metrafenone does not have a common mechanism of toxicity with other
substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which
chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the
cumulative effects of such chemicals, see EPA's Web site at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA
shall apply an additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety for infants
and children in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal
and postnatal toxicity and the completeness of the database on toxicity
and exposure unless EPA determines

based on reliable data that a different margin of safety will be safe
for infants and children. This additional margin of safety is commonly
referred to as the FQPA SF. In applying this provision, EPA either
retains the default value of 10X, or uses a different additional safety
factor when reliable data available to EPA support the choice of a
different factor.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. There is no evidence of
increased susceptibility following in utero and/or postnatal exposure
in the developmental toxicity studies in rats or rabbits, and in the 2-
generation rat reproduction study.
    3. Conclusion. EPA has determined that reliable data show the
safety of infants and children would be adequately protected if the
FQPA SF were reduced to 1X. That decision is based on the following
findings:
    i. The toxicity database for metrafenone is complete with the
exception of an immunotoxicity study. In accordance with the updated 40
CFR part 158 toxicity data requirements for conventional pesticides, an
immunotoxicity study is required for metrafenone. EPA has evaluated the
available metrafenone toxicity data to determine whether an additional
UFDB is needed to account for the lack of the study.
Decreased thymus weight, a potential immunotoxic effect, was observed
only in adults and solely in a 2-generation reproduction study in rats.
Because this effect was observed in only one species (rats) in one
study, at the highest dose tested, and the NOAEL for this effect is 3X
higher than the NOAEL for liver toxicity on which the cPAD is based,
EPA believes the NOAEL for liver toxicity is protective of this effect,
and an additional UFDB is not needed to account for
potential immunotoxicity.
    ii. There is no indication that metrafenone is a neurotoxic
chemical and there is no need for a developmental neurotoxicity study
or additional UFs to account for neurotoxicity.
    iii. There is no evidence that metrafenone results in increased
susceptibility in in utero rats or rabbits in the prenatal
developmental studies or in young rats in the 2-generation reproduction
study.
    iv. There are no residual uncertainties identified in the exposure
databases. The dietary food exposure assessments were based on assuming
100 PCT and residues 2X higher than the proposed tolerance residue
levels. EPA made conservative (protective) assumptions in the ground
and surface water modeling used to assess exposure to metrafenone in
drinking water. These assessments will not underestimate the exposure
and risks posed by metrafenone.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    EPA determines whether acute and chronic dietary pesticide
exposures are safe by comparing aggregate exposure estimates to the
aPAD and cPAD. For linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the lifetime
probability of acquiring cancer given the estimated aggregate exposure.
Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term risks are evaluated by
comparing the estimated aggregate food, water, and residential exposure
to the appropriate PODs to ensure that an adequate MOE exists.
    1. Acute risk. An acute aggregate risk assessment takes into
account acute exposure estimates from dietary consumption of food and
drinking water. No adverse effect resulting from a single oral exposure
was identified and no acute dietary endpoint was selected. Therefore,
metrafenone is not expected to pose an acute risk.
    2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in this
unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that chronic exposure to
metrafenone from food and water will utilize 1% of the cPAD for the
general U.S. population and 5% of the cPAD for children 1-2 years old,
the population group receiving the greatest exposure. There are no
residential uses for metrafenone.
    3. Short-term risk. Short-term aggregate exposure takes into
account short-term residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food
and water (considered to be a background exposure level). Because there
is no residential exposure, metrafenone is not expected to pose a
short-term risk.
    4. Intermediate-term risk. Intermediate-term aggregate exposure
takes into account intermediate-term residential exposure plus chronic
exposure to food and water (considered to be a background exposure
level). Because there is no residential exposure, metrafenone is not
expected to pose an intermediate-term risk.
    5. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. Based on the data
summarized and referenced in Unit III.A., EPA has concluded that the
cRfD/cPAD for metrafenone is protective of the cancer effects. As noted
above, the chronic exposure for the general U.S. population utilizes
only 1% of the cPAD.
    6. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, EPA
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
to the general population or to infants and children from aggregate
exposure to metrafenone residues.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An adequate gas chromatography (GC) method with electron capture
(ECD) and mass spectrometry (MS) detection, Method FAMS 105-01, is
available to enforce the tolerance expression for grapes. However, EPA
requires radiovalidation data for any future tolerances on other
commodities. Such data were being generated at the time EPA was
reviewing the grape submission.
    The method may be requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry
Branch, Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD
20755-5350; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-mail address:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
B. International Residue Limits

    In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food standards
program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
    The Codex has not established a MRL for metrafenone. Although there
has been an agreement to harmonize the proposed grape MRL with Canada,
the MRL has yet to be harmonized between member states.

C. Revisions to Petitioned-for Tolerances

    EPA is not establishing the proposed tolerances for wine and juice
grapes. Tolerances on raw agricultural commodities (such as grapes) are
applicable to food processed from those commodities (such as grape
juice and wine). Because the processing data indicate that residues of
metrafenone do not concentrate in grape juice or wine, a tolerance on
the raw agricultural commodity is all that is necessary.
    EPA is revising the requested tolerance expression to clarify the
chemical moieties that are covered by

the tolerances and specify how compliance with the tolerances is to be
measured. The revised tolerance expression makes clear that the
tolerances cover residues of the fungicide metrafenone, including its
metabolites and degradates, but that compliance with the specified
tolerance levels is to be determined by measuring only metrafenone (3-
bromo-6-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-
methylphenyl)methanone in or on the commodities.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of metrafenone,
(3-bromo-6-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-
methylphenyl)methanone, in or on grape at 4.5 ppm and grape, raisin at
17 ppm.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes tolerances under section 408(d) of
FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this final rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is
not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any
information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance in
this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.) do not apply.
    This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this final rule. In addition,
this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note).

VII. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

Revision of Restricted Area 5107A; White Sands Missile Range, NM

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action revises Restricted Area 5107A (R-5107A), White
Sands Missile Range, NM, by subdividing the area to reduce the size of
R-5107A, and establish R-5107K. Together, R-5107A and R-5107K will
occupy the same vertical, but slightly smaller lateral area than the
existing R-5107A. The FAA is taking this action in response to a
request from the United States (U.S.) Army to divide the existing R-
5107A into two restricted areas, R-5107A and R-5107K. This action will
fulfill Department of Defense training requirements while freeing
unused airspace for use by nonparticipating civil aircraft.
Additionally, this action will allow the U.S. Army to activate only
that portion of the airspace necessary to contain their operations.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, September 25, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 28, 2007, the U.S. Army requested the FAA take action to
modify R-5107A, White Sands Missile Range, NM, by subdividing the area
to reduce the size of R-5107A and establish R-5107K. The U.S. Army
assessed the utilization of the existing R-5107A, and determined their
operations are contained to the west side of War Highway 11, 70 to 90
percent of the time. The requested action makes the unused area
available for use by nonparticipating civil aircraft. The U.S. Army has
also determined that a small area at the northwest corner of the
existing R-5107A is not needed and requested a boundary reduction. The
subdivision of R-5107A, into R-5107A and R-5107K, will allow airspace
managers the opportunity to return unused airspace east of War Highway
11 for use by nonparticipating civil aircraft during periods of
inactivity.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 73 by revisingR-5107A, White Sands Missile Range, NM, by dividing
the area into 2 sub areas, R-5107A and R-5104K. Together, R-5107A and
R-5107K will occupy the same vertical, but slightly smaller lateral
area by eliminating the northwest corner of the existing R-5107A.
Additionally, R-5107K will only be active 0700-2000 local time, Monday
through Friday, rather than the current continuous time of designation.
Since this action permits greater access to airspace by both Visual
Flight Rules and Instrument Flight Rules aircraft during periods of
activation of R-5107A and R-5107K, notice and public procedures under 5
U.S.C. 533(b) are unnecessary.
    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.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under Department of Transportation (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 will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    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 amends restricted areas in New Mexico.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with 311d., FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures.'' 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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend 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

Background

    NAV CANADA, which operates Canada's civil air navigation service,
is implementing changes to Canada's instrument flight rules (IFR)
navigation infrastructure as part of their NAVAID Modernization
Program. This program is designed to enhance the efficiency of Canada's
flying operations by taking advantage of performance-based navigation
and modern avionic capabilities. As such, changes implemented by NAV
CANADA occasionally affect VOR Federal airways that extend across the
United States/Canada border into the United States.
    NAV CANADA is planning to decommission the Elliot Lake and Dryden
NDBs as part of their NAVAID Modernization Program. As a result,
amendments of V-36 and V-316, and the removal of V-180, are required to
mirror changes that are planned to be made by NAV CANADA within
Canadian airspace. To mitigate the deletion of V-36 and V-316 airway
segments affected by the NDBs being decommissioned, IFR traffic may use
adjacent VOR Federal airways, V-300 and V-348, or request air traffic
control (ATC) radar vectors to fly around or through the affected area.
To mitigate the deletion of V-180, IFR traffic may use adjacent VOR
Federal airways, V-133 and V-367, or request ATC radar vectors to fly
through or circumnavigate the affected area also. Aircraft with Area
Navigation (RNAV) equipment may also navigate point to point using
airspace fixes that will remain in place. Visual flight rules (VFR)
pilots who elect to navigate via the airways through the affected area
could also take advantage of the adjacent VOR Federal airways or ATC
services listed previously.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend V-36
and V-316, and remove V-180 due to the planned decommissioning of the
Elliot Lake and Dryden NDBs, ON, Canada to mirror changes that are
planned to be made by NAV CANADA within Canadian airspace. The proposed
Federal airway amendments and removal are described below.
    V-36: V-36 currently extends between the Thunder Bay, ON, Canada,
VOR/DME and the intersection of the Wiarton, ON, Canada, VOR/DME
150[deg] radial and Toronto, ON, Canada, VOR/DME 304[deg] radial; and
between the Buffalo, NY, VOR/DME and the intersection of the La
Guardia, NY, VOR/DME 310[deg] and Stillwater, NJ, VOR/DME 043[deg]
radials. The airspace within Canada is excluded. The FAA proposes to
remove the airway segment between the Thunder Bay, ON, Canada, VOR/DME
and Wawa, ON, Canada, VOR/DME. The FAA also proposes to remove the
airway segment between the Sault Ste Marie, MI, VOR/DME and the
intersection of the La Guardia, NY, VOR/DME 310[deg] and Stillwater,
NJ, VOR/DME 043[deg] radials (NEION fix). The resulting airway would
extend between the Wawa, ON, Canada, VOR/DME and the Sault Ste Marie,
MI, VOR/DME; and between the Buffalo, NY, VOR/DME and the intersection
of the La Guardia, NY, VOR/DME 310[deg] and Stillwater, NJ, VOR/DME
043[deg] radials (NEION fix). Concurrent changes to other segments of
V-36 have been proposed in a separate rulemaking proposal.
    V-316: V-316 currently extends between the Ironwood, MI, VOR/DME
and the Sawyer, MI, VOR/DME; and between the Sault Ste Marie, MI, VOR/
DME and the Sudbury, ON, Canada, VOR/DME. The airspace in Canada is

excluded. The FAA proposes to delete the airway segment between the
Sault Ste Marie, MI, VOR/DME and the Sudbury, ON, Canada, VOR/DME, and
the exclusionary language. The resulting airway would extend between
the Ironwood, MI, VOR/DME and the Sawyer, MI, VOR/DME.
    V-180: V-180 currently extends between the International Falls, MN,
VOR/DME and the Dryden, ON, Canada, NDB. The airspace within Canada is
excluded. The FAA proposes to remove the airway in its entirety.
    All radials in the VOR Federal airway descriptions below are
unchanged and stated in True degrees.
    VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) 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 VOR Federal airways
listed in this document would be subsequently updated in the next
edition of this Order.
    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 proposed 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
Department of Transportation (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 will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in

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

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 for Harnett Regional Jetport, Erwin, NC,
to support IFR operations in the area.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (87 FR 36423, June 17, 2022) for Docket No. FAA-2022-0788 to
amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Harnett Regional Jetport, Erwin, NC.
    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 JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic routes, and reporting
points.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 by amending Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Harnett Regional
Jetport, Erwin, NC, by updating the airport's name (formerly Harnett
County Airport), and removing the city name from the description
header. This action also eliminates the Harnett NDB from the airspace
description, as an airspace evaluation found it unnecessary. Also, this
action widens the northeast extension and updates the airport's
geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's database. In
addition, this action removes reference of the Fayetteville, NC, class
E airspace area from the description, as the airspace is shared.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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

between operators of pipeline facilities and in-line inspector vendors
to expand knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of the
different types of in-line inspection technology and methodologies;

data while encouraging the exchange of pipeline inspection information
and the development of advanced pipeline inspection technologies and
enhanced risk analysis;
