procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify the Nashville International
Airport Class C airspace area by removing a cutout from the Class C
surface area that excluded the airspace within a 1.5 NM radius of the
former Cornelia Fort Airpark from the Class C surface area. The
exclusion was in place to solely accommodate operations at the Airpark,
which was located about 4 NM north northwest of Nashville International
Airport. The Airpark is now permanently closed and the property sold
for non-aviation uses. Since the original purpose of the exclusion no
longer exists, the FAA is proposing to remove the words `` * * *
excluding that airspace within a 1.5-mile radius of lat. 36[deg]12'00''
N., long. 86[deg]42'10'' W. (in the vicinity of Cornelia Fort Airpark)
* * * '' from the Class C airspace description. This would restore the
Class C surface area to the standard configuration of a 5 NM radius
around Nashville International Airport and would enhance the management
of aircraft operations at the airport.
    Also, a minor correction would be made to update the geographic
coordinates of the Nashville International Airport to reflect the
current information in the FAA's aeronautical database. This change
would remove ``lat. 36[deg]07'31'' N., long. 86[deg]40'35'' W.,'' and
insert ``lat. 36[deg]07'28'' N., long. 86[deg]40'42'' W.'' in its
place.
    Class C airspace areas are published in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order
7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class C airspace area
modification proposed 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.
Therefore, this proposed 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 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.
    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 would modify terminal airspace as required to preserve the safe
and efficient flow of air traffic in the Nashville, TN, area.

[Docket No.: FAA-2020-0312]

Enforcement Policy for Expired Airman Medical Certificates

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notification of enforcement policy.

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

SUMMARY: Due to extraordinary circumstances related to the Novel
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, until June 30, 2020, the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will not take legal enforcement
action against any person serving as a required pilot flight crewmember
or flight engineer based on noncompliance with medical certificate
duration standards when expiration of the required medical certificate
occurs from March 31, 2020, through June 30, 2020.

DATES: The policy described herein is effective from March 31, 2020,
through June 30, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Barry, Manager, Policy/Audit/
Evaluation, Enforcement Division, Office of the Chief Counsel, Federal
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC
20591; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    FAA regulations set forth the requirements for, and duration of,
medical certificates issued under 14 CFR part 67. A person may serve as
a required pilot flight crewmember of a civil aircraft only if that
person holds the appropriate unexpired medical certificate issued under
14 CFR part 67 (or other documentation acceptable to the FAA).\1\ The
duration of a medical certificate issued to a required pilot flight
crewmember depends on the age of the applicant at the date of the
examination, the type of operation, and class of certificate.\2\ In
addition, a person may serve as a flight engineer of a civil aircraft
only if that person holds an unexpired second-class (or higher) medical
certificate issued under 14 CFR part 67 (or other documentation
acceptable to the FAA).\3\ To receive a new medical certificate, a
person must submit to a medical examination given by an aviation
medical examiner.\4\ Regardless of whatever day a medical certificate
is issued, all medical certificates expire at the end of the last day
of the month of expiration.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 14 CFR 61.2(a)(5), 61.3(c)(1).
    \2\ See 14 CFR 61.23.

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

    On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO)
characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic, as the rates of infection
continued to rise in many locations around the world and across the
United States. On March 13, 2020, the President declared that the
COVID-19 outbreak in the United States constitutes a national
emergency. COVID-19 cases have been reported in all 50 States as well
as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands.
    The President's March 13, 2020, declaration observed that the
spread of COVID-19 within our Nation's communities threatens to strain
our Nation's healthcare systems. Widespread transmission of COVID-19
could translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at
the same time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
advises that healthcare facilities and clinicians should prioritize
urgent and emergency visits and procedures now and for the

coming several weeks. The CDC's advice includes rescheduling elective
and non-urgent admissions, and postponing routine dental and eye care
visits. Additionally, the President and the White House Coronavirus
Task Force have announced a program called ``15 Days to Slow the
Spread,'' a nationwide effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 in the
United States through the implementation of social distancing at all
levels of society.

Statement of Policy

    It is not in the public interest at this time to maintain the
requirement of an FAA medical examination, which is a nonemergency
medical service, in order for pilots and flight engineers with expiring
medical certificates to obtain new medical certificates. This is
because of the burden that COVID-19 places on the U.S. healthcare
system, and because these aviation medical examinations increase the
risk of transmission of the virus through personal contact between the
physician and the applicant for an airman medical certificate.
    Accordingly, as an exercise of the FAA's enforcement discretion,
through June 30, 2020, the FAA will not take legal enforcement action
against any person serving as a required pilot flight crewmember or
flight engineer based on noncompliance with medical certificate
duration standards when expiration of the medical certificate occurs
from March 31, 2020, through June 30, 2020. This discretionary
accommodation does not apply to pilots or flight engineers who lacked
an unexpired medical certificate as of March 31, 2020. Also, regardless
of the date of expiration of a medical certificate, this accommodation
does not commit to non-enforcement for noncompliance with medical
certificate duration standards that occurs after June 30, 2020. This
policy applies only to holders of an FAA-issued medical certificate
serving as a required pilot flight crewmember or flight engineer within
the United States. It does not apply to holders of an FAA-issued
medical certificate serving as a required pilot flight crewmember or
flight engineer outside the United States.
    The FAA has determined that those persons subject to this temporary
measure may operate beyond the validity period of their medical
certificate during the effective period of this accommodation without
creating a risk to aviation safety that is unacceptable under the
extraordinary circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The FAA
will reevaluate this decision as circumstances unfold, to determine
whether an extension or other action is needed to address this
pandemic-related challenge.
    The relief provided in this notification does not extend to the
requirements of 14 CFR 61.53 and 63.19 regarding prohibition on
operations during medical deficiency. These prohibitions remain
critical for all pilots and flight engineers to observe, especially
given the policy of emergency accommodation announced here and the
health threat of COVID-19. Accordingly, the FAA emphasizes that under
14 CFR 61.53, no person who holds a medical certificate issued under 14
CFR part 67 may act as a required pilot flight crewmember while that
person: (1) Knows or has reason to know of any medical condition that
would make the person unable to meet the requirements for the medical
certificate necessary for the pilot operation; or (2) is taking
medication or receiving other treatment for a medical condition that
results in the person being unable to meet the requirements for the
medical certificate necessary for the pilot operation. Additionally,
under 14 CFR 63.19, no person may serve as a flight engineer during a
period of known physical deficiency, or increase in physical
deficiency, that would make the flight engineer unable to meet the
physical requirements for an unexpired medical certificate.
    All required pilot flight crewmembers and flight engineers are to
comply with all other applicable obligations under the FAA's
regulations and other applicable laws. This notification creates no
individual rights of action and establishes no precedent for future
determinations.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plating and Polishing Area Sources (40 CFR part
63, subpart WWWWWW) apply to both existing and new plating and
polishing facilities that are an area source of hazardous air pollutant
(HAP) emissions and that use one or more of the following metal HAP:
Cadmium, chromium, lead manganese, or nickel (hereafter referred to as
the plating and polishing metal HAP). A plating and polishing facility
is a plant site that is engaged in any of the following processes: Non-
chromium electroplating; electroless or non-electrolytic plating; other
non-electrolytic metal coating processes such as chromate conversion
coating, nickel acetate sealing, sodium dichromate sealing, and
manganese phosphate coating, and thermal spraying; dry mechanical
polishing of finished metals and formed products after plating or
thermal spraying; electroforming; and electro-polishing. New facilities
include those that commenced construction, modification, or
reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP
standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and
periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities.
They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of
an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system
is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential
in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Plating and polishing area source
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart WWWWWW).
    Estimated number of respondents: 2,900 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 67,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $8,000,000 (per year), which includes no
annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This situation is due to two considerations.
First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and
are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the
growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is
no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes
in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or

operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
