DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2015-8466; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-045-AD;
Amendment 39-18542; AD 2016-11-15]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This AD
was prompted by the need for more restrictive fuel system airworthiness
limitations. This AD requires revising the maintenance program or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate certain fuel system
airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to reduce the
potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination
with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and
consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective July 12, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 12,
2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Fokker Services B.V.
Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3059) (``the NPRM''). The
NPRM was prompted by the need for more restrictive fuel system
airworthiness

limitations. The NPRM proposed to require revising the maintenance
program or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate certain
fuel system airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to reduce
the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in
combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank
explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0032, dated February 24, 2015 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Fokker Services
B.V. Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Fokker Services published issue 5 of Engineering Report SE-672,
containing Fuel Airworthiness Limitation Items (ALIs) and Critical
Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). This report is
Part 3 of the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS Part 3) of the
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness, referred to in Section 06,
Appendix 1, of the Fokker 70/100 Maintenance Review Board (MRB)
document.
    The complete ALS currently consists of:
    Part 1--Report SE-473, Certification Maintenance Requirements
(CMRs), Part 2--Report SE-623, ALIs and Safe Life Items (SLIs), and
Part 3--Report SE-672, Fuel ALIs and CDCCLs.
    The instructions contained in those reports have been identified
as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
implementation of the maintenance actions as specified in ALS Part 3
of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness, Fokker Services
Engineering Report SE-672 at issue 5.

    We have determined that the actions identified in this AD are
necessary to reduce the potential of ignition sources inside fuel
tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result
in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane. You may
examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
8466.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Fokker Services B.V. Engineering Report SE-672,
``Fokker 70/100 Fuel ALI's and CDCCL's,'' Issue 5, released December
11, 2014. The service information describes fuel system airworthiness
limitation items and critical design configuration control limitations.
This service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 8 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it takes about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD on U.S. operators to be $680, or $85 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

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

    BX is filing with the Commission a proposal to amend Chapter VI,
Section 5 (Minimum Increments) to extend through June 30, 2016 or the
date of permanent approval, if earlier, the Penny Pilot Program in
options classes in certain issues (``Penny Pilot'' or ``Pilot''), and
to change the date when delisted classes may be replaced in the Penny
Pilot.\3\

Sec. 5 Minimum Increments

    (a) The Board may establish minimum quoting increments for options
contracts traded on BX Options. Such minimum increments established by
the Board will be designated as a stated policy, practice, or
interpretation with respect to the administration of this Section
within the meaning of Section 19 of the Exchange Act and will be filed
with the SEC as a rule change for effectiveness upon filing. Until such
time as the Board makes a change in the increments, the following
principles shall apply:
    (1)-(2) No Change.
    (3) For a pilot period scheduled to expire on June 30, [2015]2016
or the date of permanent approval, if earlier, if the options series is
trading pursuant to the Penny Pilot program one (1) cent if the options
series is trading at less than $3.00, five (5) cents if the options
series is trading at $3.00 or higher, unless for QQQQs, SPY and IWM
where the minimum quoting increment will be one cent for all series
regardless of price. A list of such options shall be communicated to
membership via an Options Trader Alert (``OTA'') posted on the
Exchange's Web site.
    The Exchange may replace any pilot issues that have been delisted
with the next most actively traded multiply listed options classes that
are not yet included in the pilot, based on trading activity in the
previous six months. The replacement issues may be added to the pilot
on the second trading day following July 1, 2015 and January 1,
[2015]2016.
    (4) No Change.
    (b) No Change.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange 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. The Exchange 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
    The purpose of this filing is to amend Chapter VI, Section 5 to
extend the Penny Pilot through June 30, 2016 or the date of permanent
approval, if earlier, and to change the date when delisted classes may
be replaced in the Penny Pilot. The Exchange believes that extending
the Penny Pilot will allow for further analysis of the Penny Pilot and
a determination of how the program should be structured in the future.
    Under the Penny Pilot, the minimum price variation for all
participating options classes, except for the Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking
Stock (``QQQQ''), the SPDR S&P 500 Exchange Traded Fund (``SPY'') and
the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (``IWM''), is $0.01 for all
quotations in options series that are quoted at less than $3 per
contract and $0.05 for all quotations in options series that are quoted
at $3 per contract or greater. QQQQ, SPY and IWM are quoted in $0.01
increments for all options series. The Penny Pilot is currently
scheduled to expire on June 30, 2015.

    The Exchange proposes to extend the time period of the Penny Pilot
through June 30, 2016 or the date of permanent approval, if earlier,
and to provide a revised date for adding replacement issues to the
Penny Pilot. The Exchange proposes that any Penny Pilot Program issues
that have been delisted may be replaced on the second trading day
following July 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016. The replacement issues will
be selected based on trading activity in the previous six months.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The replacement issues will be announced to the Exchange's
membership via an Options Trader Alert (OTA) posted on the
Exchange's Web site. The Exchange proposes in its Penny Pilot rule
that replacement issues will be selected based on trading activity
in the previous six months. The replacement issues would be
identified based on The Options Clearing Corporation's trading
volume data. For example, for the July replacement, trading volume
from December 1, 2014 through May 30, 2015 would be analyzed. The
month immediately preceding the replacement issues' addition to the
Pilot Program (i.e., June) would not be used for purposes of the
six-month analysis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This filing does not propose any substantive changes to the Penny
Pilot Program; all classes currently participating in the Penny Pilot
will remain the same and all minimum increments will remain unchanged.
The Exchange believes the benefits to public customers and other market
participants who will be able to express their true prices to buy and
sell options have been demonstrated to outweigh the potential increase
in quote traffic.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the proposed rule change, which extends the Penny
Pilot for an additional twelve months through June 30, 2016 or the date
of permanent approval, if earlier, and changes the date for replacing
Penny Pilot issues that were delisted to the second trading day
following July 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016, will enable public
customers and other market participants to express their true prices to
buy and sell options for the benefit of all market participants. This
is consistent with the Act.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. To the contrary, this proposal
is pro-competitive because it allows Penny Pilot issues to continue
trading on the Exchange. Moreover, the Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change will allow for further analysis of the Pilot and a
determination of how the Pilot should be structured in the future; and
will serve to promote regulatory clarity and consistency, thereby
reducing burdens on the marketplace and facilitating investor
protection. The Pilot is an industry-wide initiative supported by all
other option exchanges. The Exchange believes that extending the Pilot
will allow for continued competition between market participants on the
Exchange trading similar products as their counterparts on other
exchanges, while at the same time allowing the Exchange to continue to
compete for order flow with other exchanges in option issues trading as
part of the Pilot.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6).\8\ Because the
proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection
of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden
on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 30 days from the
date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \9\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule
19b-4 thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing.\12\ However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\13\ the
Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that
the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The
Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because doing so will allow the Pilot Program to continue without
interruption in a manner that is consistent with the Commission's prior
approval of the extension and expansion of the Pilot Program and will
allow the Exchange and the Commission additional time to analyze the
impact of the Pilot Program. Accordingly, the Commission designates the
proposed rule change as operative upon filing with the Commission.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change along with a
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this pre-filing requirement.
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the
Act \15\ to determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or
disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the general public to provide an
opportunity for review and comment on proposed AEGL values and their
supporting scientific rationale. This action may be of particular
interest to anyone who may be affected if the AEGL values are adopted
by government agencies for emergency planning, prevention, or response
programs, such as EPAs Risk Management Program under the Clean Air Act
and Amendments Section 112r. It is possible that other Federal agencies
besides EPA, as well as State and local agencies and private
organizations, may adopt the AEGL values for their programs. As such,
the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that
may be affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the DFO
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM
that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and
then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific
information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version
of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the
comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be
submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPAs Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS)
provided notice on October 31, 1995 (60 FR 55376) (FRL-4987-3) of the
establishment of the NAC/AEGL Committee with the stated charter
objective as ``the efficient and effective development of AEGLs and the
preparation of supplementary qualitative information on the hazardous
substances for Federal, State, and Local agencies and organizations in
the private sector concerned with [chemical] emergency planning,
prevention, and response.'' The NAC/AEGL Committee is a discretionary
Federal advisory committee formed with the intent to develop AEGLs for
chemicals through the combined efforts of stakeholder members from both
the public and private sectors in a cost-effective approach that avoids
duplication of efforts and provides uniform values, while employing the
most scientifically sound methods available.
    This action provides notice of availability, for public review and
comment, of proposed AEGL values and underlying supporting documents
for 46 hazardous substances. These values represent the ninth set of
exposure levels proposed and published by the NAC/AEGL Committee. EPA
published the first ``proposed'' AEGLs for 12 chemicals from the
initial priority list in the Federal Register of October 30, 1997 (62
FR 58840-58851) (FRL-5737-3); for 10 chemicals in the Federal Register
of March 15, 2000 (65 FR 14186-14197) (FRL-6492-4); for 14 chemicals in
the Federal Register of June 23, 2000 (65 FR 39263-39277 ) (FRL-6591-
2); for 7 chemicals in the Federal Register of December 13, 2000 (65 FR
77866-77874) (FRL-6752-5); for 18 chemicals in the Federal Register of
May 2, 2001 (66 FR 21940-21964) (FRL-6776-3); for 8 chemicals in the
Federal Register of February 15, 2002 (67 FR 7164-7176) (FRL-6815-8);
for 10 chemicals in the Federal Register of July 18, 2003 (68 FR 42710-
42726) (FRL-7189-8); and for 15 chemicals in the Federal Register of
September 7, 2004 (69 FR 54144-54148) (FRL-7350-2) in order to provide
an opportunity for public review and comment. Background information on
the AEGL Program may be found in these earlier Federal Register
notices, in regulations.gov, or on the AEGL Web site at http://www.epa.gov/oppt/aegl

    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRM's should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to revoke VOR Federal airway V-329 which
extends between the Montgomery, AL, very high frequency omnidirectional
range/tactical air navigation (VORTAC) aid and the vicinity of
Crestview, FL. The Andalusia, AL, VOR, which is used to form segments
of V-329, is owned and operated by the U.S. Army. Due to recurring
outages and maintenance issues, the U.S. Army requested to decommission
the Andalusia, AL, VOR. This action would render V-329 unusable. The
FAA has conducted an aeronautical study of the request and determined
that decommissioning the Andalusia VOR would not adversely impact
National Airspace System operations. An alternative route, V-115,
currently extends between the Crestview, FL, VORTAC and the Montgomery,
AL, VORTAC.
    VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010 of FAA Order
7400.9S signed October 3, 2008 and effective October 31, 2008, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airway listed
in this document would be deleted subsequently from 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 modifies the route structure as required to preserve the safe and
efficient flow of air traffic.

Environmental Review

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

RIN 2120-AA66

Proposed Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace, Key West, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class D airspace, Class E
airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area, and
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at
Key West International Airport and Key West Naval Air Station (NAS), FL
as a result of biennial airspace evaluations. This action would extend
the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
for both airports by 0.1 nautical miles to ensure the safe transition
to/from the terminal environment, as well as update the geographic
coordinates for the airports and the Key West VORTAC. Controlled
airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 6, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to: U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, West

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 would amend airspace for Key West International Airport and Key
West NAS, Key West, FL, to support IFR operations in the area.

Comments Invited

    Interested persons are invited to comment on 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 (Docket No. FAA-
2022-1613 and Airspace Docket No. 22-ASO-27) and be submitted in
triplicate to DOT Docket Operations (see ADDRESSES section for the
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
internet at www.regulations.gov.
    Persons wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments on
this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed stamped
postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments to FAA
Docket No. FAA-2022-1613; Airspace Docket No. 22-ASO-27.'' The postcard
will be dated/time-stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA proposes an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Key West
International Airport and Key West NAS by extending the airspace for
each airport from within a 6.4-mile radius to a 6.5-mile radius, and by
updating the airports' geographic coordinates to coincide with the
FAA's database.
    In addition, this action would replace the outdated terms Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement and Notice to Airmen
with the term Notice to Air Missions, in the Class D and Class E
airspace descriptions.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs
5000, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated
August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and 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

    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 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
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures,'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
