SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-725A (Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk-
Power System).
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0244.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725A information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: On August 8, 2005, the Electricity Modernization Act of
2005, which is Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Energy Policy Act of 2005
(EPAct 2005), was enacted into law.\1\ EPAct 2005 added a new section
215 to the FPA, which requires a Commission-certified electric
reliability organization (ERO) (FERC-725) to develop mandatory and
enforceable Reliability Standards, which are subject to Commission
review and approval. Once approved, the Reliability Standards may be
enforced by the ERO, subject to Commission oversight or the Commission
can independently enforce Reliability Standards (FERC-725A).\2\

824o.
    \2\ 16 U.S.C. 824o(e)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 3, 2006, the Commission issued Order No. 672,
implementing section 215 of the FPA.\3\ Pursuant to Order No. 672, the
Commission certified one organization, NERC, as the ERO.\4\ The ERO is
required to develop Reliability Standards, which are subject to
Commission review and approval. The Reliability Standards will apply to
users, owners and operators of the Bulk-Power System, as set forth in
each Reliability Standard.

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

    On March 16, 2007, the Commission issued Order No. 693, a Final
Rule adding part 40, a new part, to the

Commission's regulations. The Final Rule states that this part applies
to all users, owners and operators of the Bulk-Power System within the
United States (other than Alaska or Hawaii). It also requires that each
Reliability Standard identify the subset of users, owners and operators
to which that particular Reliability Standard applies. The new
regulations also require that each Reliability Standard that is
approved by the Commission will be maintained on the ERO's internet
website for public inspection.
    In order that the Commission is able to perform its oversight
function with regard to Reliability Standards that are proposed by the
ERO and established by the Commission, it is essential that the
Commission receive timely information regarding all or potential
violations of Reliability Standards. While section 215 of the FPA
contemplates the filing of the record of an ERO or Regional Entity
enforcement action, FERC needs information regarding violations and
potential violations at or near the time of occurrence. Therefore, it
will work with the ERO and regional reliability organizations to be
able to use the electronic filing of information so the Commission
receives timely information. The new regulations also require that each
Reliability Standard that is approved by the Commission will be
maintained on the ERO's internet website for public inspection.
    In accordance with section 39.5 of the Commission's regulations,
the ERO must file each Reliability Standard or a modification to a
Reliability Standard with the Commission. The filing is to include a
concise statement of the basis and purpose of the proposed Reliability
Standard, either a summary of the Reliability development proceedings
conducted by the ERO or a summary of the Reliability Standard
development proceedings conducted by a Regional Entity together with a
summary of the Reliability Standard review proceedings of the ERO and a
demonstration that the proposed Reliability Standard is ``just,
reasonable, not unduly discriminatory or preferential, and in the
public interest.

RD21-4 (FAC-008-05)

    The proposed information collection changes in Docket No. RD21-4-
000 relate to the proposed Reliability Standard FAC-008-05 (Facility
Ratings) developed by the North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC), and submitted to the Commission for approval. The
Commission received NERC's petition to approve the proposed Reliability
Standards.
    On February 19, 2021, NERC filed a petition seeking approval of
proposed Reliability Standard FAC-008-5. NERC states that proposed
Reliability Standard FAC-008-5 reflects the retirement of Requirement
R7 of the currently effective standard. NERC notes that this proposal
was recommended following the first phase of work under the NERC
Standards Efficiency Review and that in its Order No. 873 remanding a
previously proposed version of the FAC-008 Reliability Standard, the
Commission agreed that the retirement of Requirement R7 from the
standard would not result in a reliability gap.
    In June 2019, following the conclusion of the standard development
process, NERC submitted a series of standard retirement proposals to
the Commission. Among the proposals, NERC submitted for Commission
approval proposed Reliability Standard FAC-008-4, in which NERC
proposed to retire Requirements R7 and R8 of currently effective
Reliability Standard FAC-008-3. In September 2020, the Commission
issued Order No. 873 regarding NERC's retirement proposals. In this
order, the Commission remanded proposed Reliability Standard FAC-008-4
to NERC for further consideration, citing concerns with the proposed
retirement of Requirement R8 of the currently effective standard. The
standard drafting team determined to develop a new version of the
Reliability Standard, proposed Reliability Standard FAC-008-5, in which
only Requirement R7 of the currently effective standard would be
proposed for retirement. Reliability Standard FAC-008-5 Requirement R7
requires Generator Owners and Transmission Owners to provide certain
information to requesting Reliability Coordinator(s), Planning
Coordinator(s), Transmission Planner(s), Transmission Owner(s), and
Transmission Operator(s) regarding their Facilities, as follows:
    R7. Each Generator Owner shall provide Facility Ratings (for its
solely and jointly owned Facilities that are existing Facilities, new
Facilities, modifications to existing Facilities and re-ratings of
existing Facilities) to its associated Reliability Coordinator(s),
Planning Coordinator(s), Transmission Planner(s), Transmission Owner(s)
and Transmission Operator(s) as scheduled by such requesting entities.
    In the years since Reliability Standard FAC-008-5 was developed,
NERC has developed other Reliability Standards that render the data
provision obligations of Requirement R7 redundant, Requirement R1 of
Reliability Standard TOP-003-3--Operational Reliability Data requires
the Transmission Operator to maintain a documented data specification
(Requirement R1) and for the Transmission Owner and Generator Owner to
provide the requested data (Requirement R5).
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \5\ The Commission estimates the burden
and cost \6\ for this information collection as follows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For
further explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, refer to 5 CFR part 1320.
    \6\ The Commission staff thinks that the average respondent for
this collection is similarly situated to the Commission, in terms of
salary plus benefits. Based on FERC's 2020 annual average of
$172,329 (for salary plus benefits), the average hourly cost is $83/
hour.

    The following table represents the current burden associated with
all Mandatory Reliability Standards that fall under FERC-725A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The type of entity effect is the NERC registered GO =
Generator Owners (1,003). This reduction for 725A represent a
decrease in burden but the GOs still have other obligations, so the
1,003 is included for information purpose but does not affect the
overall number of entities in 725A.

[EPA-R05-OAR-2018-0126; FRL-9995-67-Region 5]

Air Plan Approval; Indiana; SO2 Emission Limitations for United
States Steel-Gary Works

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a March
6, 2018 request by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management
(IDEM) to revise its State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the United
States Steel-Gary Works coke plant. The submission involves the removal
of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission limitations for the coke
plant at the United States Steel-Gary Works (US Steel-Gary Works). The
coke plant permanently ceased operation on March 30, 2015. The
submission also contains several other administrative changes. The
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) associated with this final action
was published on February 13, 2019. EPA received several comments.

DATES: This final rule is effective on July 29, 2019.

section is arranged as follows:

I. Background
II. Public Comments and EPA Responses
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    On March 30, 2015, US Steel-Gary Works permanently ceased the
operation of its coke plant. IDEM has verified that the coke plant
units were decommissioned and permanently shut down. IDEM then removed
the coke plant units from US Steel Gary-Works Part 70 operating permit
(IDEM permit number 089-37337-00121 and 089-35392-00121). IDEM has also
revised the SO2 SIP rules for US Steel-Gary Works, which are
currently codified at 326 Indiana Administrative Code (326 IAC) 7-4.1-
20, by removing the SO2 emission limitations applicable to
the coke plant operation which allowed SO2 emissions from
the coke plant. SO2 emission limitations which were not
applicable to the coke plant operation were retained. US Steel-Gary
Works would be required to reapply for a Title V operating permit to
reopen the coke plant facility. Administrative changes such as
renumbering were also made. EPA proposed approval of the SIP on
February 13, 2019, and started a 30-day public comment period on the
proposal. 84 FR 3740.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    The public comment period on EPA's February 13, 2019 NPRM closed on
March 15, 2019. EPA received four comments. One of the comments was not
relevant to the proposed action and three were relevant and adverse.
EPA's response to the comments are as follows:
    Comment 1: The commenter stated that SO2 is harmful to
the environment. The commenter also noted that it is a good idea to
have emission limitations on large companies. The commenter further
stated that SO2 is one of the main reasons for acid rain,
which can harm infrastructure and wildlife.
    EPA Response 1: The environmental effects information provided by
the commenter is not in dispute in this rulemaking. This rulemaking
instead addresses whether IDEM's SIP revision is adequate to meet the
requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA) section 110(l) which provide that
EPA shall not approve a SIP revision if the plan would interfere with
any applicable requirement concerning attainment of the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and Reasonable Further Progress
(as defined in Section 171 of the CAA), or any other applicable
requirement of the CAA. EPA proposed to find that IDEM's SIP revision
is consistent with CAA section 110(l) because the changes to the
facility will result in a decrease in SO2 emissions in
excess of 3,792 tons per year. See 84 FR 3741. US Steel-Gary Works will
still retain enforceable SO2 emissions limits from operating
scenario b of the original rule for its remaining operating emissions
units. The effect of removing the limits that applied to the coke plant
(and of retiring the permit terms that authorized such emissions
described in IDEM permit number 089-37337-00121 and 089-35392-00121) is
to eliminate the allowable coke plant SO2 emissions that
were previously authorized.
    Comment 2: The commenter stated that numerous studies have shown
the harmful health effects of SO2 on humans and animals,
including respiratory problems and fatality when inhaled in large
quantities. The commenter also claimed that the wording of the revision
was vague, stating that an overall reduction in SO2 would be
allowed, but without a concrete value. The commenter also stated that
the rule is unenforceable and lacks specificity.
    EPA Response 2: The NPRM specifically states that changes to the
facility will result in a decrease in SO2 emissions in
excess of 3,792 tons per year. 84 FR 3741. Concerning the
enforceability of the emission limits at US Steel-Gary Works, the
changes to and approval of the rule into the SIP removes the previously
allowable levels of SO2 emissions from the now-shutdown coke
plant. This, combined with the removal of permit terms allowing coke
plant SO2 emissions, has the effect of not allowing any
SO2 emissions to occur from the coke plant. If the coke
plant were to come back into operation, before it could have any
SO2 emissions it would have to obtain regulatory and/or
permit terms that would make such emissions permissible at all and set
new emission limits that are both state and federally enforceable.
Regarding the commenter's statement about the health effects, EPA finds
that this SIP revision provides for a reduction in excess of 3,792 tons
per year in allowable SO2 emissions and does not interfere
with Indiana's ability to attain or maintain the NAAQS which are
protective of public health.
    Comment 3: The commenter stated that there should be no tolerances
for SO2 emissions, and that SO2 emission
limitations should not be removed. The commenter noted that
SO2 is partly responsible for acid rain, which is one of the
main reasons that the CAA was amended. The commenter added that
companies should have SO2 limitations and that the removal
of SO2 standards would be ``disastrous'' to our environment.
The commenter also believes that EPA should stop issuing permits that
allow facilities to emit SO2 and EPA should research
technology to produce power or products without emitting harmful
pollutants.
    EPA Response 3: This action removes references to emission
limitations for decommissioned emissions units associated with the coke
plant at US Steel-Gary Works which were permanently shut down on March
30, 2015. By removing the limits for the shutdown coke plant units and
by surrendering its permit terms for those emission units, US Steel-
Gary Works is no longer allowed to emit SO2 from those coke
plant emission units without obtaining enforceable operating permits.
By removing those emissions limits US Steel-Gary Works will reduce
allowable emissions of SO2 by approximately 3792.2 tons per
year. This rulemaking does not increase any allowable emissions at US
Steel-Gary Works. All remaining emissions units at US Steel-Gary Works,
which were not associated with the coke plant, are retaining
enforceable emissions limits from operating scenario b of the original
rule.
    The commenter's statement about the removal of the SO2
standards being disastrous to the environment is unrelated to this
rulemaking. The standards for SO2 are regulated under the
NAAQS. Regarding the commenter's statement that EPA should stop issuing
permits that allow facilities to emit SO2, the CAA title V
part 70 permitting program allows states to issue legally enforceable
operating permits that are compliant with the NAAQS. Lastly, the
commenter stated that EPA should research clean energy technology. EPA
provides grants to institutions researching clean energy technology and
EPA's clean energy programs can be found on this website https://www.epa.gov/energy/clean-energy-programs.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving IDEM's March 6, 2018 submittal as a revision to
its existing SIP for US Steel-Gary Works. Specifically, EPA is
approving revisions to Indiana rule 326 IAC 7-4.1-20 ``U.S. Steel-Gary
Works sulfur dioxide emission limitations''.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Indiana
Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available through www.regulations.gov, and at the EPA

Region 5 Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for
inclusion in the State implementation plan, have been incorporated by
reference by EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under
sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final
rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in
the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action 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 the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by August 26, 2019. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No FAA-2014-0198 Airspace Docket No. 14-AGL-8]

Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; South Dakota

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class E airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the surface within the boundary of the
state of South Dakota. With the increased use of GPS/GNSS navigation
systems, pilots routinely file and fly flight plans using point-to-
point routes instead of published airways. Often, these point-to-point
routes take aircraft through uncontrolled airspace (Class G). With this
proposal, Minneapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) would
provide more expeditious service and increased efficiency within the
National Airspace System.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 20, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., West
Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-0001. You
must identify the docket number FAA-2014-0198/Airspace Docket No. 14-
AGL-8, at the beginning of your comments. You may also submit comments
through the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. You may review the
public docket containing the proposal, any comments received, and any
final disposition in person in the Dockets Office between 9:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The Docket
Office (telephone 1-800-647-5527), is on the ground floor of the
building at the above address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Raul Garza, Jr., Central Service
Center, Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2014-0198/
Airspace Docket No. 14-AGL-8.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see ADDRESSES section for address and phone number) between
9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the office of the Central Service Center, 2601
Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137.
    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking<PHONE_NUMBER>, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from
1,200 feet above the surface within the state of South Dakota. This
action would enable Minneapolis ARTCC to have greater latitude to use
radar vectors and/or altitude changes that would provide a more
efficient use of airspace within the NAS.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013 and

effective September 15, 2013, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document
would be published subsequently in the Order.
    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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 would amend controlled airspace within the state of South Dakota.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

513(g) Request for Information

OMB Control Number 0910-0705--Extension

    This information collection supports Agency regulations and
accompanying guidance. Section 513(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360c(g)) provides a means for
obtaining the Agency's views about the classification and regulatory
requirements that may be applicable to a particular device. Section
513(g) provides that, within 60 days of the receipt of a written
request of any person for information respecting the class in which a
device has been classified or the requirements applicable to a device
under the FD&C Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall
provide such person a written statement of the classification (if any)
of such device and the requirements of the FD&C Act applicable to the
device. Regulations governing medical device classification procedures
are codified under 21 CFR part 860.
    The guidance document entitled ``FDA and Industry Procedures for
Section 513(g) Requests for Information Under the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act; Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug
Administration Staff'' \1\ establishes procedures for submitting,
reviewing, and responding to requests for information respecting the
class in which a device has been classified or the requirements
applicable to a device under the FD&C Act that are submitted in
accordance with section 513(g) of the FD&C Act. FDA does not review
data related to substantial equivalence or safety and effectiveness in
a 513(g) request for information. FDA's responses to 513(g) requests
for information are not device classification decisions and do not
constitute FDA clearance or approval for marketing. Classification
decisions and clearance or approval for marketing require submissions
under different sections of the FD&C Act.

    Relatedly, the FD&C Act, as amended by the Food and Drug
Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-85), requires FDA to
collect user fees for 513(g) requests for information. The guidance
document entitled ``User Fees for 513(g) Requests for Information;
Guidance for Industry and Food and

Drug Administration Staff'' \2\ assists FDA staff and regulated
industry by describing the user fees associated with 513(g) requests.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0664; Airspace Docket No. 20-ACE-15]
RIN 2120-AA66

Revocation and Amendment of Class E Airspace; Orange City and Le
Mars, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action removes the Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Orange City Municipal Airport, Orange
City, IA and amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at the Le Mars Municipal Airport, Le Mars, IA. This
action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of Orange City (ORC) non-directional beacon (NDB), and
the Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) navigation aids, and the
closure of the Orange City Municipal Airport. Additionally, the
geographical coordinates for the Le Mars Municipal Airport, Le Mars,
IA, have been updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 17, 2021. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR
part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and
publication of conforming amendments.

ADDRESSES: FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, and subsequent amendments can be viewed online at https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/. For further information, you can

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 revokes the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Orange City Municipal, Orange City, IA and amends the
Class E airspace at Le Mars Municipal Airport, Le Mars, IA, to support
instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 62269; October 2, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0664 to
remove the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Orange City Municipal Airport, Orange City, IA, and amend
the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Le Mars Municipal Airport, Le Mars, IA. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. One comment received supporting
the proposed action. No response is provided.
    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 14 CFR part 71 revokes the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Orange City
Municipal Airport, Orange City, IA, as the instrument procedures at
this airport have been cancelled and the airport closed, so the
airspace is no longer required.
    Amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within 6.4-mile (decreased from 7.5-mile) radius of Le
Mars Municipal Airport, Le Mars, IA and removes the Orange City
Municipal Airport; exclusionary language from the Le Mars Municipal
Airport, Le Mars, IA, 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 Orange City NDB, and the Automated Weather
Observing System (AWOS) navigation aids which provided navigational
information to 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.
