Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Dubois, PA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

surface airspace and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface in Dubois, PA, due to the 

decommissioning of the Clarion Very 

High Frequency Omnidirectional Range 

Tactical Air Navigational System 

(VORTAC) and cancellation of the 

associated instrument approach 

procedure at Dubois Regional Airport. 

This action also updates the name of the 

airport, as well as the name and 

geographic coordinates of Penn 

Highlands Healthcare-Dubois Heliport. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

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 amends 

Class E airspace in Dubois, PA, to 

support IFR operations in the area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of prosed 

rulemaking in the Federal Register (85 

FR 59465, September 22, 2020) for 

Docket No. FAA–2020–0826 to amend 

Class E surface airspace from a 4-mile 

radius to a 4.8-mile radius, and remove 

all extensions. Also, the FAA proposed 

the amendment of Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface in Dubois, PA, from a 8.5- 

mile radius to a 9.2-mile radius. In 

addition, the FAA proposed to update 

the geographic coordinates and name of 

the airport, as well as Penn Highland 

Healthcare-Dubois Heliport to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

Subsequent to publication, the FAA 

found the names of DuBois Regional 

Airport and Penn Highland HealthcareDuBois Heliport required updating. The 

correct names are Dubois Regional 

Airport and Penn Highlands HealthcareDubois Heliport. This action makes the 

update. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. One comment 

supporting this action was received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005 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 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 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E surface airspace and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Dubois 

Regional Airport, (previously Du BoisJefferson County Airport), Dubois, PA, 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Clarion VORTAC and cancellation of 

the associated approach. In addition, the 

FAA updates the airport’s name and the

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. 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 an 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.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

22 CFR Part 120 

[Public Notice: 11274] 

International Traffic in Arms 

Regulations: Notification of Temporary 

Suspension, Modification, or 

Exception to Regulations 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Extension of temporary 

suspensions, modifications, and 

exceptions. 

SUMMARY: The Department of State is 

issuing this document to inform the 

public of a second extension to certain 

temporary suspensions, modifications, 

and exceptions to certain provisions of 

the International Traffic in Arms 

Regulations (ITAR) to provide for 

continued telework operations during 

the current SARS–COV2 public health 

emergency. This extension will 

terminate on June 30, 2021 unless 

otherwise extended in writing by the 

Directorate of Defense Trade Controls 

(DDTC). This action is taken in order to 

ensure continuity of operations among 

members of the regulated community. 

DATES: This document is issued 

December 11, 2020. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Engda Wubneh, Office of Defense Trade 

Controls Policy, U.S. Department of 

State, telephone (202) 663–1809, or 

email ddtccustomerservice@state.gov. 

ATTN: June 2021 Extension of 

Suspension, Modification, and 

Exception. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In March 

2020, the President declared a national 

emergency as a result of the COVID–19 

pandemic. On May 1, 2020, the 

Department of State (the Department) 

published in the Federal Register a 

notification of certain temporary 

suspensions, modifications, and 

exceptions to the ITAR, necessary in 

order to ensure continuity of operations 

within the Directorate of Defense Trade 

Controls (DDTC) and among entities 

registered with DDTC pursuant to part 

122 of the ITAR (85 FR 25287). These 

actions were taken pursuant to ITAR 

§ 126.2, which allows for the temporary 

suspension or modification of 

provisions of the ITAR, and ITAR 

§ 126.3, which allows for exceptions to 

provisions of the ITAR. These actions 

were taken in the interest of the security 

and foreign policy of the United States 

and warranted as a result of the 

exceptional and undue hardships and 

risks to safety caused by the public 

health emergency related to the SARS– 

COV2 pandemic. 

Subsequently, on June 10, 2020, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register a request for comment from the 

regulated community regarding the 

efficacy and termination dates of the 

temporary suspensions, modifications, 

and exceptions provided in 85 FR 

25287, and requesting comment as to 

whether additional measures should be 

considered in response to the public 

health crisis. Of the four temporary 

suspensions, modifications, and 

exceptions to the ITAR announced in 

the May 1 notification referenced above, 

DDTC reviewed the public comments 

and decided to extend two measures 

until December 31, 2020: (1) ITAR 

§ 120.39(a)(2) allowance for remote 

work; and (2) authorization to allow 

remote work under technical assistance 

agreement, manufacturing agreement, or 

exemption. 

Based upon continued public health 

recommendations and as informed by 

responses to request for public comment 

in June 2020, it is apparent to DDTC that 

regulated entities will continue to 

engage in social distancing measures for 

the foreseeable future. Many 

commenters, one industry association, 

and several individual entities endorsed 

the telework provisions and requested 

that these measures be effective until 

the end of the year, if not extended 

indefinitely. DDTC agreed and extended 

the two measures until the end of 2020. 

DDTC is now extending these measures 

again until June 30, 2021 because DDTC 

believes that a failure to extend these 

temporary suspensions, modifications, 

and exceptions would have a negative 

impact on regulated entities’ ability to 

safely engage in continued operations in 

the midst of the ongoing global public 

health emergency. 

This second extension beyond 

December 31, 2020 is also necessary to 

provide time for DDTC to consider a 

permanent revision to the ITAR 

provisions relating to remote work. 

Although the Department is of the 

opinion that the notice and comment 

requirements of the Administrative 

Procedure Act are not applicable, in the 

coming months the Department intends 

to provide notice of and solicit comment 

related to proposed revisions to the
