14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2014-1074; Airspace Docket No. 14-ASW-10]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; El Paso, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at El Paso, TX. Closure of
West Texas Airport has made this action necessary for continued safety
and management within the National Airspace System. Additionally, the
geographic coordinates for El Paso International Airport and Biggs Army
Airfield (AAF), are adjusted correctly noted in the Rule section of
this document. This does not affect the boundaries or operating
requirements of the airspace.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 31, 2016. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under Title 1,
Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of
FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

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 removes Class E airspace at West Texas Airport, El Paso, TX.

History

    On June 18, 2015, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to remove Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at West Texas Airport,
El Paso, TX, as the airport is now closed (80 FR 34855) Docket No. FAA-
2014-1074. Additionally, the FAA identified an error in the
geographical coordinates for El Paso International Airport, would be
changed from (lat. 31[deg]50'59'' N., long. 106[deg]22'40'' W.) in the
proposal to (lat. 31[deg]48'26'' N., long. 106[deg]22'35'' W.) (80 FR
34855). The FAA found the NPRM incorrectly listed the geographic
coordinates for Biggs AAF and El Paso International Airport under the
Proposal section, but was correctly noted in the airspace designation.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 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 7400.9Z, 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 Rule

    This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR),
Part 71 by removing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at West Texas Airport, El Paso, TX. This action is
necessary due to the closure of the airport; therefore controlled
airspace is no longer needed. Also, the geographic coordinates for El
Paso International Airport, are changed to (lat. 31[deg]48'26'' N.,
long. 106[deg]22'35'' W.), and the coordinates for Biggs AAF are
changed to (lat. 31[deg]50'58'' N., long. 106[deg]22'48'' W.), to
coincide with the FAAs aeronautical data base.

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 5-6.5a. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0043, dated March 2, 2020 (EASA
AD 2020-0043) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for all Airbus Helicopters Model EC 155 B and EC 155 B1 helicopters.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus Helicopters
Model EC 155B and EC155B1 helicopters. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on November 2, 2020 (85 FR 69267). The NPRM was
prompted by a report that non-destructive tests of the MGB housing may
have been evaluated incorrectly during production. The NPRM proposed to
require replacing affected MGBs with serviceable MGBs, as specified in
an EASA AD.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address failure of the affected MGB
housing, possibly resulting in reduced control of the helicopter. See
the MCAI for additional background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these
minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing 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

    EASA AD 2020-0043 describes procedures for replacing affected MGBs
with serviceable MGBs.
    This material 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.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    EASA AD 2020-0043 specifies to do the replacement ``within 10
flight hours or 75 days, whichever occurs first.'' The compliance time
for this AD is within 10 hours time-in-service.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 18 helicopters of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

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.
    The FAA is 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

    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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

Proposed Amendment of V-67, V-190, and V-429; Establishment of T-
312; and Revocation of V-125 and V-335 in the Vicinity of Marion, IL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR)
Federal airways V-67, V-190, and V-429; establish Area Navigation
(RNAV) route T-312; and remove VOR Federal airways V-125 and V-335 in
the vicinity of Marion, IL. The Air Traffic Service (ATS) route
modifications are necessary due to the planned decommissioning of the
VOR portion of the Marion, IL, VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/
DME) navigation aid (NAVAID). With the exception of the RNAV route T-
312 proposed to be established, the Marion VOR/DME NAVAID provides
navigation guidance for portions of the affected air traffic service
(ATS) routes. The VOR is being decommissioned as part of the FAA's VOR
Minimum Operational Network (MON) program.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 21, 2020.

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 modify the route structure as necessary to
preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National
Airspace System (NAS).

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend 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.

Background

    The FAA is planning decommissioning activities for the VOR portion
of the Marion, IL, VOR/DME in June 2021. The VOR portion of the Marion,
IL, VOR/DME is a candidate VOR identified for discontinuance by the
FAA's VOR MON program and listed in the final policy statement,
``Provision of Navigation Services for the Next Generation Air
Transportation System (NextGen) Transition to Performance-Based
Navigation (PBN) (Plan for Establishing a VOR Minimum Operational
Network),'' published in the

Federal Register of July 26, 2016 (81 FR 48694), Docket No. FAA-2011-
1082.
    Although the VOR portion of the Marion VOR/DME is planned for
decommissioning, the co-located DME portion of the NAVAID is being
retained.
    The existing ATS route dependencies to the Marion, IL, VOR/DME
NAVAID are VOR Federal airways V-67, V-125, V-190, V-335, and V-429.
    With the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Marion,
IL, VOR/DME, the remaining ground-based NAVAID coverage in the area is
insufficient to enable the continuity of the affected VOR Federal
airways. As such, proposed modifications to the affected VOR Federal
airways would result in an increased gap in one of the airways (V-67),
the removal of the affected airway segment at the end of an airway and
at the beginning of an airway (V-190 and V-429, respectively), and the
removal of the remaining airways (V-125 and V-335).
    To overcome the loss of an ATS route, the increased gap in another
route, and the loss of route segments at the beginning and end of the
other ATS routes, instrument flight rules (IFR) traffic could use
adjacent ATS routes, including VOR Federal airways V-4, V-11, V-47, V-
72, V-305, and V-540, or receive air traffic control (ATC) radar
vectors to fly through or circumnavigate the affected area.
Additionally, IFR pilots equipped with RNAV PBN capabilities could also
navigate point to point using the existing fixes that will remain in
place to support continued operations though the affected area. Visual
flight rules (VFR) pilots who elect to navigate via the airways through
the affected area could also take advantage of the adjacent VOR Federal
airways or ATC services listed previously.
    Further, the FAA proposes to establish RNAV route T-312 between the
Hill City, KS, VORTAC and the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC to, in part,
mitigate the proposed removal of the V-190 airway segment affected by
the planned decommissioning of the Marion VOR. Additionally,
establishing T-312 would provide RNAV routing capability from the Hill
City, KS, area eastward to the Pocket City, IN, area; as well as,
support ongoing FAA NextGen efforts to transition the NAS to
performance-based navigation.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying VOR Federal airways V-67, V-
190, and V-429; establishing RNAV route T-312; and removing VOR Federal
airways V-125 and V-335. The planned decommissioning of the VOR portion
of the Marion, IL, VOR/DME has made this action necessary.
    The proposed VOR Federal airway changes are outlined below.
    V-67: V-67 currently extends between the Choo Choo, TN, VOR/
Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and the Shelbyville, TN, VOR/DME; and
between the Cunningham, KY, VOR/DME and the Rochester, MN, VOR/DME. The
FAA proposes to remove the airway segment overlying the Marion, IL,
VOR/DME between the Cunningham, KY, VOR/DME and the Centralia, IL,
VORTAC due to the Marion VOR being decommissioned; and between the
Centralia, IL, VORTAC and the intersection of the Centralia, IL, VORTAC
010[deg] and Vandalia, IL, VOR/DME 162[deg] radials (CORKI fix) due to
V-313 overlaying the same airway segment. The unaffected portions of
the existing airway would remain as charted.
    V-125: V-125 currently extends between the intersection of the
Farmington, MO, VORTAC 046[deg] and Marion, IL, VOR/DME 282[deg]
radials (NIKEL fix) and the St. Louis, MO, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to
remove the airway in its entirety.
    V-190: V-190 currently extends between the Phoenix, AZ, VORTAC and
the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Marion, IL, VOR/DME between the Farmington, MO,
VORTAC and the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway would remain as charted.
    V-335: V-335 currently extends between the St. Louis, MO, VORTAC
and the Marion, IL, VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to remove the airway in
its entirety.
    V-429: V-429 currently extends between the Marion, IL, VOR/DME and
the Bible Grove, IL, VORTAC; and between the Champaign, IL, VORTAC and
the Joliet, IL, VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment
overlying the Marion, IL, VOR/DME between the Marion, IL, VOR/DME and
the Bible Grove, IL, VORTAC. The unaffected portions of the existing
airway would remain as charted.
    The proposed new RNAV T-route is outlined below.
    T-312: T-312 is a proposed new route that would extend between the
Hill City, KS, VORTAC and the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC. This RNAV route
would mitigate the proposed loss of the V-190 airway segment proposed
to be removed between the Farmington, MO, VORTAC and the Pocket City,
IN, VORTAC and provide RNAV routing capability from the Hill City, KS,
area eastward to the Pocket City, IN, area.
    All NAVAID radials in the VOR Federal airway descriptions below are
unchanged and stated in True degrees.
    VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) and United
States RNAV T-routes are published in paragraph 6011 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 ATS routes listed in
this document would be subsequently published in the Order.
    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 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.

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0510]
RIN 1625-AA00

Temporary Safety Zone; Bear Birthday Celebration, Lake
Charlevoix, Boyne City, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters within a 500-foot radius of a fireworks display in
Lake Charlevoix near Boyne City, MI. The safety zone is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential
hazards created by fireworks diplay. Entry of vessels or persons into
this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain
of the Port Sault Sainte Marie or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 6 p.m. until 11:59 p.m. on July 31,
2021. It will be enforced from 9 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. on that day.

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable. This
safety zone is needed to be established by July 31, 2021 in order to
protect the public from the dangers associated with a fireworks
display.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because action is needed to establish
a safety zone in order to protect the public from the hazards
associated with the fireworks display.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port Sault Sainte
Marie (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with a
fireworks display on July 31, 2021, will be a safety concern for
anything within a 500-foot radius of the navigable waters surrounding
the fireworks launch site. This rule is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the
safety zone during the fireworks display.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone that will be enforced
from 9 p.m. through 11 p.m. on July 31, 2021.

The safety zone will cover all navigable waters within 500 feet of a
fireworks display in Lake Charlevoix near Boyne City, MI in position
45[deg]15'20.62'' N 85[deg]03'50.33'' W. The duration of the zone is
intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in
the safety zone proceeding, during and immediately after the fireworks
display.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on size, location,
duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic will be
able to safely transit around this safety zone which would impact a
small designated area of Lake Charlevoix. Moreover, the Coast Guard
would issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16
about the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a
temporary safety zone lasting only 2 hours that will prohibit entry
within a 500-foot radius of a fireworks display in Lake Charlevoix. It
is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L[60(a)]
of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1.
A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination
is available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket,
see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
