Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed for Incorporation 

by Reference 

This document would 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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 26, 2016 / Proposed Rules 4221 

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 by removing Class D 

airspace at Pearson Field Airport, 

Vancouver, WA. FAA Joint Order 

7400.2K states that if non-towered 

airports requiring a surface area, the 

airspace will be designated Class E. 

There is no operating control tower at 

Pearson Field Airport, Vancouver, WA, 

which would remove the necessity of 

the Class D airspace. 

Class D airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 5000 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Explanation of 

Provisions 

Section 330 of title 31 of the United 

States Code authorizes the Secretary of 

the Treasury to regulate the practice of 

representatives before the Treasury 

Department. Pursuant to section 330 of 

title 31, the Secretary has published 

regulations governing practice before 

the IRS in 31 CFR part 10 and reprinted 

the regulations as Treasury Department 

Circular No. 230 (Circular 230). Circular 

230 is administered by the IRS Office of 

Professional Responsibility (OPR). 

Section 10.4(a) of Circular 230 

authorizes the IRS to grant status as 

enrolled agents to individuals who 

demonstrate special competence in tax 

matters by passing a written 

examination (Enrolled Agent Special 

Enrollment Examination (EA–SEE)) 

administered by, or under the oversight 

of, the IRS and who have not engaged 

in any conduct that would justify 

suspension or disbarment under 

Circular 230. Starting in 2006, the IRS 

engaged the services of a third-party 

contractor to develop and administer 

the EA–SEE. 

After becoming enrolled, an enrolled 

agent must, as provided in § 10.6(d), 

renew enrollment every three years to 

maintain active enrollment and to be 

able to practice before the IRS. To 

qualify for renewal, an enrolled agent 

must certify the completion of the 

continuing education requirements set 

forth in § 10.6(e). There are currently 

approximately 55,600 enrolled agents.
