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
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 amend the Syracuse, NY, Class C airspace area to
maintain efficient airport operations.

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 (FAA Docket No.
FAA-2016-3937 and Airspace Docket No. 16-AWA-1) and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management Facility (see ADDRESSES section for
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters 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-2016-3937 and

Airspace Docket No. 16-AWA-1.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified comment
closing date will be considered before taking action on the proposed
rule. The proposal contained in this action may be changed in light of
comments received. All comments submitted will be available for
examination in the public docket both before and after the comment
closing date. A report summarizing each substantive public contact with
FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective
September 15, 2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z 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 Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify the Syracuse Hancock
International Airport Class C airspace area by removing a cutout from
the Class C surface area that excludes the airspace within a 0.75-
nautical mile radius of the former Michael Field/Onondaga Flight School
Airport. The sole purpose of the exclusion was to allow aircraft to
operate freely to and from that airport without the need to contact air
traffic control (ATC). Since the former airport is now permanently
closed, the purpose for the exclusion no longer exists; therefore, the
FAA is proposing to remove the words ``. . . excluding that airspace
within a 0.75-mile radius of Michael Field/Onondaga Flight School
Airport . . . ;'' as well as the words ``Michael Field/Onondaga Flight
School Airport, NY (lat. 43[deg]10'45'' N., long. 76[deg]07'29'' W.),''
from the Class C airspace description.
    Class C airspace areas are published in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order
7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 2015, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class C airspace
description listed in this document would be subsequently published in
the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Sunshine Act Meeting Notice

    Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the provisions of the
Government in the Sunshine Act, Public Law 94-409, that the Securities
and Exchange Commission will hold an Open Meeting on January 11, 2010
at 9:30 a.m., in the Auditorium, Room L-002, to hear oral argument in
an appeal by Diane M. Keefe (``Keefe''), a former employee of Pax World
Management Corp. (``Pax Management''), a registered investment adviser,
from the decision of an administrative law judge. The law judge found
that Keefe, a portfolio manager of the Pax World High Yield Fund
(``Fund''), an investment company registered with the Commission and
advised by Pax Management, willfully violated Section 34(b) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The law judge suspended Keefe for
twelve months from association with an investment adviser, broker, or
dealer.
    Among the issues likely to be argued are whether Keefe willfully
violated Investment Company Act Section 34(b) and, if so, whether and
to what extent sanctions should be imposed on her.
    Commissioner Paredes, as duty officer, determined that no earlier
notice thereof was possible.
    At times, changes in Commission priorities require alterations in
the scheduling of meeting items.
    For further information and to ascertain what, if any, matters have
been added, deleted or postponed, please contact:
    The Office of the Secretary at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

    Dated: January 5, 2010.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
