RIN 2120-AA66

Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Multiple Texas Towns

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at Borger,
TX; Pampa, TX; and Spearman, TX. The FAA is proposing these actions due
to airspace reviews conducted as part of the decommissioning of the
Borger very high frequency (VHF) omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of
the VOR Minimal Operational Network (MON) Program. The names and
geographic coordinates of some airports would also be updated to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 1, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, West Building Ground Floor, Room
W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590; telephone
(202) 366-9826, or<PHONE_NUMBER>. You must identify FAA Docket No.

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 the Class E airspace extending upward form 700 feet
above the surface at Hutchinson County Airport, Borger, TX; Perry
Lefors Field, Pampa, TX; and Major Samuel B. Cornelius Field, Spearman,
TX, to support instrument flight rule operations at these airports.

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-2022-0775/
Airspace Docket No. 22-ASW-15.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at https://www.faa.gov/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 the ADDRESSES section for the 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 Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend 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 service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by:
    Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Hutchinson County Airport, Borger, TX, by removing the
Borger VORTAC and associated extensions from the airspace legal
description; removing the city associated with the airport to comply
with changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2N, Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters; and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.7-mile (increased from a 6.4-mile) radius of
the Perry Lefors Field, Pampa, TX; and removing the city associated
with the airport to comply with changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2N;
    And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Major Samuel B. Cornelius Field, Spearman, TX, by
updating the name (previously Spearman Municipal Airport) and
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
    These actions are due to airspace reviews conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Borger VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
    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

    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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would 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.

Budget a request for approval of extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in Rule 15c2-11, (17 CFR
240.15c2-11), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a
et seq.).
    On September 13, 1971, effective December 13, 1971 (see 36 FR
18641, September 18, 1971), the Commission adopted Rule 15c2-11 (Rule)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) to
regulate the initiation or resumption of quotations in a quotation
medium by a broker-dealer for over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The
Rule was designed primarily to prevent certain manipulative and
fraudulent trading schemes that had arisen in connection with the
distribution and trading of unregistered securities issued by shell
companies or other companies having outstanding but infrequently traded
securities. Subject to certain exceptions, the Rule prohibits brokers-
dealers from publishing a quotation for a security, or submitting a
quotation for publication, in a quotation medium unless they have
reviewed specified information concerning the security and the issuer.
    Based on information provided by Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. (FINRA), in the 2010 calendar year, FINRA received
approximately 1,798 applications from broker-dealers to initiate or
resume publication of covered OTC securities in the OTC Bulletin Board
and/or the Pink Sheets or other quotation mediums. We estimate that (i)
41% of the covered OTC securities were issued by reporting issuers,
while the other 59% were issued by non-reporting issuers, and (ii) it
will take a broker-dealer about 4 hours to review, record and retain
the information pertaining to a reporting issuer, and about 8 hours to
review, record and retain the information pertaining to a non-reporting
issuer.
    We therefore estimate that broker-dealers who initiate or resume
publication of quotations for covered OTC securities of reporting
issuers will require 2,949 hours (1,798 x 41% x 4) to review, record
and retain the information required by the Rule. We estimate that
broker-dealers who initiate or resume publication of quotations for
covered OTC securities of non-reporting issuers will require 8,487
hours (1,798 x 59% x 8) to review, record and retain the information
required by the Rule. Thus, we estimate the total annual burden hours
for broker-dealers to initiate or resume publication of quotations of
covered OTC securities to be 11,436 hours (2,949 + 8,487). The
Commission believes that these 11,436 hours would be borne by staff
working at a rate of $40 per hour.\1\

    Subject to certain exceptions, the Rule prohibits brokers-dealers
from publishing a quotation for a security, or submitting a quotation
for publication, in a quotation medium unless they have reviewed
specified information concerning the security and the issuer. The
broker-dealer must also make the information reasonably available upon
request to any person expressing an interest in a proposed transaction
in the security with such broker or dealer. The collection of
information that is submitted to FINRA for review and approval is
currently not available to the public from FINRA.
    The Commission may not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid control number. No
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a
valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. Background
documentation for this information collection may be viewed at the
