Revision of the Legal Description of

the Dallas/Fort Worth Class B Airspace

Area, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action revises the legal

description of the Dallas/Fort Worth

(DFW) Class B airspace area by changing

its point of origin from the DFW Very

High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) to

the VORTAC’s present geographical

coordinates. The FAA is taking this

action due to the planned relocation of

the DFW VORTAC 3⁄4 nautical miles

(NM) west of its present location. The

intent of this action is to facilitate the

relocation of the DFW VORTAC without

changing the actual dimensions,

configuration, or operating requirements

of the DFW Class B airspace area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September

11, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On September 11, 1996, the FAA

published in the Federal Register a final

rule to modify the DFW Class B airspace

area (61 FR 47815). Specifically, the rule

raised the upper limit of the DFW Class

B airspace area from 10,000 feet mean

sea level (MSL) to 11,000 feet MSL in

some areas, reconfigured the northern

and southern sections, and redefined

several existing subareas.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. Class B airspace areas are

published in paragraph 3000 of FAA

Order 7400.9D, dated September 4,

1996, and effective September 16, 1996,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class B airspace area

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

Due to construction on DFW airport

property occurring in close proximity to

the DFW VORTAC, the FAA will

relocate the VORTAC approximately 3⁄4

NM to the west, effective October 10,

1997. Since the current legal description

of the DFW Class B airspace area, as

published in the September 11, 1996,

final rule, is based on radials and

distances from the DFW VORTAC, the

relocation will necessitate a change to

the legal description of the Class B

airspace area. Accordingly, this action

changes the point of reference from the

DFW VORTAC to the VORTAC’s

present geographical coordinates. This

action will allow for the future

relocation of the DFW VORTAC without

altering the vertical or lateral limits of

the existing DFW Class B airspace area.

Since this action merely involves a

change in the legal description of the

DFW Class B airspace area, and does not

involve a change in the dimensions or

operating requirements of that airspace,

notice and public procedure under 5

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On March 4, 1995, President Clinton

announced plans for the reform of the

Federal regulatory system as part of the

Administration’s ‘‘Reinventing

Government’’ initiative. In his March 4

directive, the President ordered all

Federal agencies to conduct a page-bypage review of all of their regulations to

‘‘eliminate or revise those that are

outdated or otherwise in need of

reform.’’

In response to this directive, FDA has

revoked a number of regulations

through notice and comment

rulemaking (e.g., 61 FR 58991,

November 20, 1996; 61 FR 27771, June

3, 1996) and issued proposals to revoke

additional regulations (e.g., 60 FR

53480, October 13, 1995; 60 FR 56513

and 56541, November 9, 1995; and 61

FR 29708, June 12, 1996). FDA has also

issued two advance notices of proposed

rulemaking to review standards of

identity and other existing regulations

to determine whether these regulations

should also be considered for revocation

or revision (e.g., 60 FR 67492, December

29, 1995; and 61 FR 29701, June 12,

1996). This document responds to

comments submitted to its proposal

entitled ‘‘Food and Cosmetic Labeling;

Revocation of Certain Regulations;

Opportunity for Public Comment,’’

which published in the Federal Register

of June 12, 1996 (61 FR 29708)

(hereinafter referred to as the June 12

revocation proposal).

FDA received 11 letters in response to

the June 12 revocation proposal. Each

letter contained one or more comments.

The letters were from industry trade

associations, academia, and consumer

organizations. Some comments

supported various provisions of the

proposal. Other comments objected to

the revocation of certain regulations. A

summary of the comments and the

agency’s responses to the comments

follow.

II. Food Labeling Regulations

A. Information Panel of Package Form

Food (§ 101.2)

This regulation, in paragraph (a),

defines the term ‘‘information panel’’ as

it applies to packaged food, and in

paragraph (b) provides that all

information required to appear on the

label of any package of food under

certain referenced regulations shall

appear either on the principal display

panel or on the information panel,

unless otherwise specified in the

regulations. The referenced regulations

are in part 101 (21 CFR part 101) and

part 105 (21 CFR part 105) and are as

follows: § 101.4 Food; designation of

ingredients, § 101.5 Food; name and

place of business of manufacturer,

packer, or distributor, § 101.8 Labeling

of food with number of servings, § 101.9

Nutrition labeling of food, § 101.12

Reference amounts customarily

consumed per eating occasion, § 101.13

Nutrient content claims general

principles, § 101.17 Food labeling

warning and notice statements, subpart

D of part 101, Specific Requirements for

Nutrient Content Claims, and Part 105—

Foods for Special Dietary Use. Section

101.2(c) requires that information

required by the referenced regulations

be in letters or numbers of at least onesixteenth inch in height, unless

otherwise exempted by regulation.

However, § 101.2(c) also contains

exemptions to this type-size

requirement. FDA tentatively concluded

in the June 12 revocation proposal that

several of the exemptions are now

obsolete and should be revoked.

1. Exemptions for Small Packages

Specifically, FDA proposed to revoke

§ 101.2(c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3). The

exemptions set out in these paragraphs

are for small packages (defined

according to the surface area available to

bear labeling) and were established

before the enactment of the Nutrition

Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (the

1990 amendments) (Pub. L. 101–535).

As fully discussed in the June 12

revocation proposal, these exemptions

were designed to encourage firms to

voluntarily provide nutrition

information in accordance with § 101.9

and a full list of ingredients in

accordance with the regulations in part

101, which was voluntary on some

standardized foods before the enactment

of the 1990 amendments. However, as a

result of the 1990 amendments,

nutrition labeling and full ingredient

labeling is now required on most foods,

and the agency has made specific

provision for flexibility in the

presentation of this information where

space is limited.

For these reasons, the agency

tentatively concluded in the June 12

revocation proposal that the exemptions

in § 101.2(c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) were

now obsolete and should be revoked.

Also in that document, FDA solicited

comments on the need to retain any of

these exemptions and stated that

comments supporting retention of any

of these exemptions should include

information on specific products for

which other type size exemptions are

inadequate.

1. Two comments addressed the

proposed revocation of § 101.2(c)(1),

(c)(2), and (c)(3). One of these comments

supported revocation of the exemptions.
