restrictions, import licensing, and 

customs barriers); 

(2) Government procurement 

restrictions (e.g.,’’buy national policies’’ 

and closed bidding); 

(3) Export subsidies (e.g., export 

financing on preferential terms and 

agricultural export subsidies that 

displace U.S. exports in third country 

markets); 

(4) Lack of intellectual property 

protection (e.g., inadequate patent, 

copyright, and trademark regimes); 

(5) Services barriers (e.g., limits on the 

range of financial services offered by 

foreign financial institutions, regulation 

of international data flows, restrictions 

on the use of data processing, quotas on 

imports of foreign films, and barriers to 

the provision of services by 

professionals); 

(6) Investment barriers (e.g., 

limitations on foreign equity 

participation and on access to foreign 

government-funded R&D consortia, local 

content, technology transfer and export 

performance requirements, and 

restrictions on repatriation of earnings, 

capital, fees, and royalties); 

(7) Government-tolerated 

anticompetitive conduct of state-owned 

or private firms that restrict the sale or 

purchase of U.S. goods or services in the 

foreign country’s markets; 

(8) Trade restrictions affecting 

electronic commerce (e.g., tariff and 

non-tariff measures, burdensome and 

discriminatory regulations and 

standards, and discriminatory taxation); 

and 

(9) Other barriers (e.g., barriers that 

encompass more than one category, 

such as bribery and corruption, or that 

affect a single sector). 

In responding to this notice, 

commenters should place particular 

emphasis on any practices that may 

violate U.S. trade agreements. The TPSC 

is also interested in receiving new or 

updated information pertinent to the 

barriers covered in the 2012 NTE as well 

as information on new barriers. If USTR 

does not include in the NTE information 

that it receives pursuant to this notice, 

it will maintain the information for 

potential use in future discussions or 

negotiations with trading partners. 

Estimate of Increase in Exports: Each 

comment should include an estimate of 

the potential increase in U.S. exports 

that would result from removing any 

foreign trade barrier the comment 

identifies, as well as a description of the 

methodology the commenter used to 

derive the estimate. Estimates should be 

expressed within the following value 

ranges: Less than $5 million; $5 to $25 

million; $25 million to $50 million; $50 

million to $100 million; $100 million to 

$500 million; or over $500 million. 

These estimates will help USTR 

conduct comparative analyses of a 

barrier’s effect over a range of 

industries.

Categorical Exclusion From Further 

Environmental Review for Standard 

Terminal Arrival Route Procedures and 

Standard Instrument Departure 

Procedures for Washington Dulles 

International Airport 

AGENCY: Air Traffic Procedures 

Advisory Committee. Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice 

to advise the public of its environmental 

review of two standard terminal arrival 

route (STAR) procedures and two 

standard instrument departure (SID) 

procedures at Washington Dulles 

International Airport (IAD). As required 

by the National Environmental Policy 

Act, an evaluation has been performed 

on the two proposed STAR procedures 

and the two proposed SID procedures to 

determine the level of environmental 

review warranted. The FAA has elected 

to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further 

environmental review’’ the proposed 

STAR procedures identified as GIBBZ 

(RNAV) STAR and DOCCS STAR and 

the proposed SID procedures identified

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 15, 2012 / Notices 49057 

as RNLDI (RNAV) SID (previously 

named BLUES ONE (RNAV) SID) and 

BUNZZ ONE (RNAV) SID. 

DATES: Effective upon publication. A 

Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex) from 

environmental review does not require 

a formal public hearing or a formal 

public comment period prior to the Cat 

Ex becoming effective. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Lee Kyker, Environmental Specialist, 

Air Traffic Eastern Service Center, 

Operations Support Group, 1701 

Columbia Ave., College Park, GA 30337. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the FAA has elected 

to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further 

environmental review’’ the proposed 

procedures as follows: GIBBZ (RNAV) 

STAR, DOCCS STAR, RNLDI (RNAV) 

SID (previously named BLUES ONE 

(RNAV) SID) and BUNZZ ONE (RNAV) 

SID. 

Project: Publish GIBBZ (RNAV) 

STAR, DOCCS STAR, RNLDI (RNAV) 

SID (previously named BLUES ONE 

(RNAV) SID) and BUNZZ ONE (RNAV) 

SID. 

Location: Washington Dulles 

International Airport. 

This project consists of publishing 

procedures identified as the GIBBZ 

(RNAV) STAR, DOCCS STAR, RNLDI 

(RNAV) SID (previously named BLUES 

ONE (RNAV) SID) and BUNZZ ONE 

(RNAV) SID. On June 4, 2012, the 

BLUES (RNAV) SID was renamed to the 

RNLDI RNAV SID. RNAV facilitates 

more efficient design of airspace and 

procedures which collectively result in 

improved safety, access, predictability, 

and operational efficiency. Improved 

access and flexibility for point-to-point 

operations help enhance reliability and 

reduce delays by defining more precise 

terminal area procedures. The review 

process indicated that the proposed 

project will not adversely impact the 

environment. Consequently, the FAA 

has elected to ‘‘Categorically Exclude 

from further environmental review’’ the 

proposed Standard Terminal Arrival 

procedures, based upon compliance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, § 311(i). 

Issued in Atlanta, GA, on August 1, 2012.

Federal Aviation Administration 

Categorical Exclusion From Further 

Environmental Review for Standard 

Terminal Arrival Route Procedures for 

Ronald Reagan Washington National 

Airport 

AGENCY: Air Traffic Procedures 

Advisory Committee. Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice 

to advise the public of its environmental 

review of two standard terminal arrival 

route (STAR) procedures, and one 

conventional arrival procedure, at 

Ronald Reagan Washington National 

Airport (DCA). As required by the 

National Environmental Policy Act, an 

evaluation has been performed on the 

three proposed procedures to determine 

the level of environmental review 

warranted. The FAA has elected to 

‘‘Categorically Exclude from further 

environmental review’’ the three 

proposed arrival procedures identified 

as FRDMM1 (RNAV), TRUPS1 (RNAV) 

and NUMMY. 

DATES: Effective upon publication. A 

Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex) from 

environmental review does not require 

a formal public hearing or a formal 

public comment period prior to the Cat 

Ex becoming effective. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Lee Kyker, Environmental Specialist, 

Air Traffic Eastern Service Center, 

Operations Support Group, 1701 

Columbia Ave., College Park, GA 30337. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the FAA has elected 

to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further 

environmental review’’ the proposed 

arrival procedures as follows: FRDMM1 

(RNAV), TRUPS1 (RNAV), and 

NUMMY. 

Project: Publish FRDMM1 (RNAV), 

TRUPS1 (RNAV), and NUMMY. 

Location: Ronald Reagan Washington 

National Airport (DCA). 

This project consists of publishing 

RNAV arrival procedures identified as 

the FRDMM1 (RNAV) and the TRUPS1 

(RNAV) and publishing the NUMMY 

conventional arrival procedure. RNAV 

facilitates more efficient design of 

airspace and procedures which 

collectively result in improved safety, 

access, predictability, and operational 

efficiency. Improved access and 

flexibility for point-to-point operations 

help enhance reliability and reduce 

delays by defining more precise 

terminal area procedures. The NUMMY 

is a conventional arrival procedure 

which accommodates the non-RNAV 

aircraft into the DC Metro area from the 

west. The review process indicated that 

the proposed project will not adversely 

impact the environment. Consequently, 

the FAA has elected to ‘‘Categorically 

Exclude from further environmental 

review’’ the proposed procedures, based 

upon compliance with FAA Order 

1050.1E, § 311(i). 

Issued in Atlanta, GA, on August 1, 2012.
