(i) Additional AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Validation Branch, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your 

request to your principal inspector or 

responsible Flight Standards Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the International Validation Branch, send 

it to the attention of the person identified in 

paragraph (j) of this AD. Information may be 

emailed to: 9-AVS-AIR-730-AMOC@faa.gov. 

Before using any approved AMOC, notify 

your appropriate principal inspector, or 

lacking a principal inspector, the manager of 

the responsible Flight Standards Office. 

(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any 

requirement in this AD to obtain instructions 

from a manufacturer, the instructions must 

be accomplished using a method approved 

by the Manager, International Validation 

Branch, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus SAS’s 

EASA DOA. If approved by the DOA, the 

approval must include the DOA-authorized 

signature. 

(3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except 

as required by paragraphs (h)(2) and (i)(2) of 

this AD, if any service information contains 

procedures or tests that are identified as RC, 

those procedures and tests must be done to 

comply with this AD; any procedures or tests 

that are not identified as RC are 

recommended. Those procedures and tests 

that are not identified as RC may be deviated 

from using accepted methods in accordance 

with the operator’s maintenance or 

inspection program without obtaining 

approval of an AMOC, provided the 

procedures and tests identified as RC can be 

done and the airplane can be put back in an 

airworthy condition. Any substitutions or 

changes to procedures or tests identified as 

RC require approval of an AMOC.

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 updates 

airspace descriptions. This update is an 

administrative change and does not 

change the airspace boundaries or 

operating requirements. 

Incorporation by Reference 

Class D and Class E airspace are 

published in paragraphs 5000 and 6002 

of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1 annually. This document amends 

the current version of that order, FAA 

Order JO 7400.11H, dated August 19, 

2023, and effective September 15, 2023. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11H is publicly 

available as listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. These 

amendments will be published in the 

next FAA Order JO 7400.11 update. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, 

C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This action amends the Class D 

airspace and Class E surface airspace for 

Northeast Philadelphia Airport, 

Philadelphia, PA, by: 

• Removing the word North from the 

first line of the header of the Class D 

airspace description, as it is not needed. 

• Removing the city name 

Philadelphia from the second line of the 

header of the Class D airspace 

description, as it is not needed. 

• Removing the word North from the 

first line of the header of the Class E 

Surface airspace description, as it is not 

needed. 

• Removing the city name 

Philadelphia from the second line of the 

header of the Class E Surface airspace 

description, as it is not needed. 

• Replacing the term Notice to 

Airmen with Notice to Air Missions in 

Class D airspace and Class E Surface 

airspace descriptions. 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
69026 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 192 / Thursday, October 5, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

• Replacing the term Airport/Facility 

Directory with Chart Supplement in the 

descriptions of Class D airspace and 

Class E Surface airspace. 

This action is an administrative 

change and does not affect the airspace 

boundaries or operating requirements; 

therefore, notice and public procedure 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. 

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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this proposed rule, 

when promulgated, will 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 5–6.5.a. 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.

Regulatory Implementation of the 

Centers of Excellence and Expertise 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This document adopts as 

final, without change, interim 

amendments made to the U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) regulations 

by CBP Decision 16–26, as modified by 

a subsequent technical correction, CBP 

Decision 19–11. The interim 

amendments established the Centers of 

Excellence and Expertise (Centers) as a 

permanent organizational component of 

the agency. The interim amendments 

shifted certain trade functions to the 

Centers and identified other trade 

functions jointly carried out by port 

directors and Center directors. The 

interim amendments provided broad, 

centralized decision-making authority to 

the Centers to enable the Centers to 

facilitate trade, reduce transaction costs, 

increase compliance with applicable 

import laws, and achieve uniformity of 

treatment at ports of entry for identified 

industries. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

November 6, 2023.

I. Background and Summary 

A. Purpose of the Centers of Excellence 

and Expertise (Centers) 

Prior to the implementation of the 

Centers of Excellence and Expertise 

(Centers), U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) processed imports on a 

port-by-port basis. Due to CBP’s port-byport trade processing authority, 

importers claimed disparate processing 

treatment for similar goods entered at 

different ports of entry, causing trade 

disruptions, increased transaction costs, 

and information lapses. In response, 

CBP established 10 Centers with broad, 

centralized decision-making authority to 

facilitate trade, reduce transaction costs, 

increase compliance with applicable
