11860 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 38 / Monday, March 1, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

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. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by modifying VOR Federal airways V– 

12, V–74, and V–516. The planned 

decommissioning of the VOR portion of 

the Anthony, KS, VORTAC NAVAID 

has made this action necessary. The 

VOR Federal airway changes are 

outlined below. 

V–12: V–12 extends between the 

Gaviota, CA, VORTAC and the 

Shelbyville, IN, VOR/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME); and 

between the Allegheny, PA, VOR/DME 

and the Pottstown, PA, VORTAC. The 

airway segment between the Mitbee, 

OK, VORTAC and the Wichita, KS, 

VORTAC is removed. Additionally, the 

Amarillo, TX, VOR listed in the airway 

description is corrected to reflect the 

Panhandle, TX, VORTAC. The 

unaffected portions of the existing 

airway remain as charted. 

V–74: V–74 extends between the 

Garden City, KS, VORTAC and the 

Magnolia, MS, VORTAC. The airway 

segment between the Dodge City, KS, 

VORTAC and the Pioneer, OK, VORTAC 

is removed. The unaffected portions of 

the existing airway remain as charted. 

V–516: V–516 extends between the 

Liberal, KS, VORTAC and the Oswego, 

KS, VOR/DME. The airway segment 

between the Liberal, KS, VORTAC and 

the Pioneer, OK, VORTAC is removed. 

The unaffected portion of the existing 

airway remains as charted. All radials 

listed in the VOR Federal airway 

descriptions below are unchanged and 

stated in True degrees. 

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 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 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 of modifying VOR Federal 

airways V–12, V–74, and V–516, due to 

the planned decommissioning of the 

VOR portion of the Anthony, KS, 

VORTAC NAVAID, qualifies for 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act and its 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 

1500, and in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 

6.5a, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points). As such, this action 

is not expected to result in any 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 

1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding 

Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA 

has reviewed this action for factors and 

circumstances in which a normally 

categorically excluded action may have 

a significant environmental impact 

requiring further analysis. The FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.

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 modifies the 

Class D and Class E airspace at Palmdale 

USAF Plant 42 Airport Palmdale, CA, to 

ensure the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (85 FR 72610, November 13, 

2020) for Docket No. FAA–2020–0942 to 

modify Class D and Class E airspace, 

Palmdale USAF Plant 42 Airport 

Palmdale, CA. 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 D, E4, and E5 airspace 

designations are published in 

paragraphs 5000, 6004, and 6005, 

respectively, 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 D and Class E airspace 

designation 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 

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. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

modifies the Class E airspace, 

designated as an extension to a Class D 

or Class E surface area, at Palmdale 

USAF Plant 42 Airport, Palmdale, CA. 

This airspace area is designed to contain 

IFR aircraft descending below 1,000 feet 

above the surface and is described as 

follows: That airspace extending 

upward from the surface within 1 mile 

each side of the 270° bearing from the 

airport, extending from the 4.3-mile 

radius to 7.5 miles west of Palmdale 

USAF Plant 42 Airport. This Class E 

airspace area is effective during the 

specific dates and times established, in 

advance, by a Notice to Airmen. The 

effective date and time will thereafter be 

continuously published in the Chart 

Supplement. 

This action also modifies the Class E 

airspace, extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface. This airspace 

area is designed to contain IFR arrivals 

descending below 1,500 feet above the 

surface and IFR departures until 

reaching 1,200 feet above the surface. 

This airspace area is described as 

follows: That airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.8-mile radius of the airport, 

and within 6.1 miles each side of the 

080° bearing from the airport, extending 

from the 6.8-mile radius to 12.9 miles 

east of the airport, and within 4 miles 

north and 8 miles south of the 086° 

bearing from the airport, extending from 

the airport to 14.3 miles east of the 

airport, and within 2 miles each side of 

the 274° bearing from the airport, 

extending from the 6.8-mile radius to 

13.4 miles west of Palmdale USAF Plant 

42 Airport. 

Additionally, this action removes the 

Class E airspace, extending upward 

from 1,200 feet above the surface. This 

airspace area is wholly contained with 

the Los Angeles en route airspace area 

and duplication is not necessary. 

Further, this action removes the 

Palmdale VORTAC from the Class E4 

and the Class E5 legal descriptions. 

Removal of the navigational aid allows 

the airspace to be defined from a single 

reference point, simplifying how the 

airspace is described. 

Also, this action removes the 

Lancaster, Gen. William J. Fox Airfield, 

CA, from the Class E5 legal description. 

Removal of the airport allows the 

airspace to be defined from a single 

reference point, simplifying how the 

airspace is described. 

Lastly, this action implements several 

administrative corrections to the 

airspaces’ legal descriptions. The airport 

name in the second line of the Class D, 

Class E4, and Class E5 text header is 

updated to ‘‘Palmdale USAF Plant 42 

Airport, CA.’’ The last sentence in the 

Class D and Class E4 legal descriptions 

is updated to replace the term ‘‘Airport/ 

Facilities Directory.’’ with the term 

‘‘Chart Supplement.’’ 

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 

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 

11862 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 38 / Monday, March 1, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

1Though DEA has used the term ‘‘final order’’ 

with respect to temporary scheduling orders in the 

past, this document adheres to the statutory 

language of 21 U.S.C. 811(h), which refers to a 

‘‘temporary scheduling order.’’ No substantive 

change is intended. 

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 

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.

Schedules of Controlled Substances: 

Temporary Placement of Brorphine in 

Schedule I 

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement 

Administration, Department of Justice. 

ACTION: Temporary amendment; 

temporary scheduling order. 

SUMMARY: The Acting Administrator of 

the Drug Enforcement Administration is 

issuing this temporary order to schedule 

1-(1-(1-(4-bromophenyl)ethyl)piperidin4-yl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[d]imidazol2-one (commonly known as brorphine), 

including its isomers, esters, ethers, 

salts, and salts of isomers, esters, and 

ethers whenever the existence of such 

isomers, esters, ethers, and salts is 

possible, in schedule I of the Controlled 

Substances Act . This action is based on 

a finding by the Acting Administrator 

that the placement of brorphine in 

schedule I of the Controlled Substances 

Act is necessary to avoid an imminent 

hazard to the public safety. As a result 

of this order, the regulatory controls and 

administrative, civil, and criminal 

sanctions applicable to schedule I 

controlled substances will be imposed 

on persons who handle (manufacture, 

distribute, reverse distribute, import, 

export, engage in research, conduct 

instructional activities or chemical 

analysis with, or possess), or propose to 

handle brorphine. 

DATES: This temporary scheduling order 

is effective March 1, 2021, until March 

1, 2023. If this order is extended or 

made permanent, DEA will publish a 

document in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Legal Authority 

The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) 

provides the Attorney General (as 

delegated to the Administrator of Drug 

Enforcement Administrator (DEA) 

pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100) with the 

authority to temporarily place a 

substance in schedule I of the CSA for 

two years without regard to the 

requirements of 21 U.S.C. 811(b), if he 

finds that such action is necessary to 

avoid an imminent hazard to the public 

safety. 21 U.S.C. 811(h)(1). In addition, 

if proceedings to control a substance are 

initiated under 21 U.S.C. 811(a)(1) while 

the substance is temporarily controlled 1

under section 811(h), the Administrator 

may extend the temporary scheduling 

for up to one year. 21 U.S.C. 811(h)(2). 

Where the necessary findings are 

made, a substance may be temporarily 

scheduled if it is not listed in any other 

schedule under 21 U.S.C. 812, or if there 

is no exemption or approval in effect for 

the substance under section 505 of the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 

21 U.S.C. 355. 21 U.S.C. 811(h)(1); 21 

CFR part 1308. 

Background 

The CSA requires the Administrator 

to notify the Secretary of the
