Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Boise, ID 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class E airspace at Boise Air 

Terminal (Gowen Field), Boise, ID. 

Decommissioning of the Donnelly 

Tactical Air Navigation System 

(TACAN) has made this action 

necessary for the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. This 

action also would adjust the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 23, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Docket Operations, M–

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by amending Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Boise Air 

Terminal (Gowen Field), Boise, ID. 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Donnelly TACAN. The geographic 

coordinates of the airport would be 

adjusted in accordance with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, 

and effective September 15, 2011, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this Order. 

The FAA has determined this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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 this proposed 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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

section 106, describes the authority for 

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 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 7, 2012 / Proposed Rules 6027 

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 

amend controlled airspace at Boise Air 

Terminal (Gowen Field), Boise, ID.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Explanation of 

Provisions 

The temporary regulations in the 

Rules and Regulations section of this 

issue of the Federal Register make 

additions to the Income Tax Regulations 

(26 CFR part 1) relating to section 

501(c)(29) of the Internal Revenue Code 

(Code). The temporary regulations 

provide that the Commissioner has the 

authority to prescribe the procedures 

under which a qualified nonprofit 

health insurance issuer (within the 

meaning of section 1322(c) of the 

Patient Protection and Affordable Care 

Act, Public Law 111–148 (March 23, 

2010)) which has received a loan or 

grant from the Centers for Medicare and 

Medicaid Services under the Consumer 

Operated and Oriented Plan program 

may request to be recognized as taxexempt under section 501(a) as an 

organization described in section 

501(c)(29). The temporary regulations 

expressly authorize the Commissioner 

to recognize a qualified nonprofit health 

insurance issuer as exempt effective as 

of a date prior to the date of its 

application, provided that the 

application is submitted in the manner 

and within the time prescribed by the 

Commissioner and the organization’s 

prior purposes and activities were 

consistent with the requirements for 

exempt status under section 501(c)(29). 

The text of the temporary regulations 

also serves as the text of these proposed 

regulations. The preamble to the 

temporary regulations explains the 

additions. 

Special Analyses 

It has been determined that this notice 

of proposed rulemaking is not a 

significant regulatory action as defined 

in Executive Order 12866, as 

supplemented by Executive Order 

13563. Therefore, a regulatory 

assessment is not required. It also has
