Amendment to Class E Airspace; Eglin

AFB, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the

Class E airspace area at Eglin AFB, FL.

A GPS RWY 32 Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been

developed for Destin-Fort Walton Beach

Airport, Destin, FL. Additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above the surface (AGL) is

needed to accommodate this SIAP and

for IFR operations at the airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On December 2, 1996, the FAA

proposed to amend Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

Part 71) by modifying Class E airspace

at Eglin AFB, FL (61 FR 63767). This

action would provide adequate Class E

airspace for IFR operations at DestinFort Walton Beach Airport, Destin, FL.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

were received. Designations for Class E

airspace extending upward from 700

feet or more above the surface are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996,

and effective September 16, 1996. The

Class E airspace designation listed in

this document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) modifies Class E airspace at

Eglin AFB, FL. A GPS RWY 32 SIAP has

been developed for Destin-Fort Walton

Beach Airport, Destin, FL. Additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above the surface (AGL) is

needed to accommodate this SIAP and

for 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. 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 will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On December 2, 1996, the FAA

proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) by modifying Class E airspace

at Deland, FL (61 FR 63765). This action

would provide adequate Class E

airspace for IFR operations at Deland

Muni-Sidney H. Taylor Airport.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

One letter objecting to the proposal was

received. The commentor stated that

operations at the Lafayette Landings

Airport would be adversely affected by

amending the Deland Class E airspace.

The Lafayette Landings Airport lies

under the current Deland Class E

airspace, which is being extended from

a 7-mile to a 7.6-mile radius of the

Deland Muni-Sidney H. Taylor.

Therefore, aircraft departing Lafayette

Landings Airport that desire to operate

clear of this Class E airspace will have

to fly .6 of a mile further than they

currently do to avoid this airspace. The

FAA considers this insignificant in view

of the safety required to accommodate

aircraft executing SIAPs to Deland

Muni-Sidney H. Taylor Airport.

Designations for Class E airspace

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface are published in

Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9D

dated September 4, 1996, and effective

September 16, 1996. The Class E

airspace designation listed in this

document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) modifies Class E airspace at

Deland, FL. An amendment to the NDB

or GPS RWY 30 SIAP has been

developed for Deland Muni-Sidney H.

Taylor Airport. Additional controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet above the surface (AGL) is needed

to accommodate this SIAP.

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

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND

SPACE ADMINISTRATION

14 CFR Part 1217

RIN 2700–AC12

Duty-Free Entry of Space Articles

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and

Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: NASA is revising 14 CFR part

1217 to reflect the current import

authority for the Agency, as proclaimed

by the President on March 23, 1995, and

to streamline and clarify NASA’s

internal procedures for the

implementation of this authority.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

John F. Hall, Jr., Senior Attorney

(Commercial), 202–358–2432.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

23, 1995, the President issued

Proclamation 6780 (60 FR 15845),

which included an extension and

expansion of NASA’s authority with

respect to duty-free imports of articles

for use by NASA and for the

implementation of its international

programs. NASA’s previous duty-free

certification authority expired by

operation of law on December 31, 1994.

This final rule revises NASA’s dutyfree import regulation, found in 14 CFR

part 1271, to reflect the broader dutyfree import authority promulgated by

the President, and additionally

streamlines and clarifies the internal

Agency procedures for implementation

of this authority. In accordance with

U.S. note 1 subchapter VIII of chapter

98, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTSUS), as revised by

Proclamation 6780, only imports which

are procurements for NASA will be

subject to customs entry procedures;

however, all imports for NASA’s

domestic and international programs,

including procurements, may be

certified for duty-free treatment. This

rule also permits the issuance of dutyfree import certificates by designated

officials at NASA Field Centers.

Since this action is administrative in

nature and involves Agency policy

management procedures, no public

comment period is required.

I certify that this action is not a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866.
