14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2013–0641; Airspace 

Docket No. 13–AGL–7] 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Sisseton, SD 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E airspace at Sisseton, SD. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

new Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures at 

Sisseton Municipal Airport. The FAA is 

taking this action to enhance the safety 

and management of Instrument Flight 

Rule (IFR) operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, April 

3, 2014. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

Aviation Administration, Southwest 

Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 16, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to establish Class E airspace for the 

Sisseton, SD, area, creating controlled 

airspace at Sisseton Municipal Airport 

(78 FR 49985) Docket No. FAA–2013– 

0641. 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 E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9X dated 

August 7, 2013, and effective September 

15, 2013, 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. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 10.7-mile radius of Sisseton 

Municipal Airport, Sisseton, SD, to 

contain aircraft executing new standard 

instrument approach procedures at the 

airport. Controlled airspace enhances 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

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. Therefore, this 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 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. 

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 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 establishes 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
77352 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 246 / Monday, December 23, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

controlled airspace at Sisseton 

Municipal Airport, Sisseton, SD. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. 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.

14 CFR Part 1204 

[Docket No.: NASA–2013–0005] 

RIN 2700–AD97 

Small Business Policy 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: This direct final rule makes 

administrative changes to correct 

organizational information and citations 

that have changed in a regulation that 

establishes NASA’s small business 

policy and outlines the delegation of 

authority to implement this policy, as 

required by Federal law. The regulation 

is also being amended to include a 

reference to NASA’s general policy for 

small business programs and NASA 

small business subcontracting plan and 

reporting information. The revisions to 

this rule are part of NASA’s 

retrospective plan under EO 13563 

completed in August 2011. NASA’s full 

plan can be accessed at: http://

www.nasa.gov/open/. 

DATES: This direct final rule is effective 

on February 21, 2014. Comments due on 

or before January 22, 2014. If adverse 

comment is received, NASA will 

publish a timely withdrawal of the rule 

in the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Comments must be 

identified with RIN 2700–AD97 and 

may be sent to NASA via the Federal ERulemaking Portal: http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitted comments. 

Please note that NASA will post all 

comments on the Internet with changes, 

including any personal information 

provided.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Direct Final Rule and Significant 

Adverse Comments 

NASA has determined this 

rulemaking meets the criteria for a 

direct final rule because it involves nonsubstantive changes dealing with 

NASA’s small business policy. NASA 

expects no opposition to the changes 

and no significant adverse comments. 

However, if NASA receives a significant 

adverse comment, the Agency will 

withdraw this direct final rule by 

publishing a document in the Federal 

Register. A significant adverse comment 

is one that explains: 

(1) Why the direct final rule is 

inappropriate, including challenges to 

the rule’s underlying premise or 

approach; or 

(2) Why the direct final rule will be 

ineffective or unacceptable without a 

change. In determining whether a 

comment necessitates withdrawal of 

this direct final rule, NASA will 

consider whether it warrants a 

substantive response in a notice and 

comment process. 

Background 

NASA’s small business policy, 

published August 17, 1993 [58 FR 

43554], was established to enable small 

businesses, historically black colleges 

and universities, and other minority 

educational institutions the opportunity 

to participate equitably and 

proportionately in its total purchases 

and contracts that are consistent with 

NASA’s needs to execute it missions. 

While this regulation describes NASA’s 

small business policy and outlines the 

delegation of authority to implement 

this policy as required by Federal law, 

NASA’s general policy for small 

business programs is described in 48 

CFR part 1819, Small Business Programs 

[62 FR 36707, July 9, 1997, as amended 

at 64 FR 25215, May 11, 1999; 65 FR 

38777, June 22, 2000; 65 FR 58932, Oct. 

3, 2000; 67 FR 53947, Oct. 23, 2001; 69 

FR 21765, Apr. 22, 2004], and its small 

business subcontracting plan and 

reporting is described in 48 CFR part 

1852, Solicitation Provisions and 

Contract Clauses [62 FR 36733, July 9, 

1997; 62 FR 40309, July 28, 1997, as 

amended at 64 FR 25215, May 11, 1999]. 

Statutory Authority 

The National Aeronautics and Space 

Act (the Space Act), 51 U.S.C. 20113 (a), 

authorizes the Administrator of NASA 

to make, promulgate, issue, rescind, and 

amend rules and regulations governing 

the manner of its operations and the 

exercise of the powers vested in it by 

law. 

Regulatory Analysis 

Executive Order 12866 and Executive 

Order 13563 

Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). Executive Order 13563 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, 

reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and 

promoting flexibility. This final rule has
