Revocation and Amendment of Class E 

Airspace, Philipsburg, PA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action removes Class E 

surface airspace at Mid-State Airport, as 

the airport no longer qualifies for 

surface airspace. Also, this action 

removes Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Philipsburg Area Hospital Heliport, as 

the Hospital has closed. Controlled 

airspace redesign is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations at Mid-State 

Airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, July 19, 

2018. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

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 amends and 

removes Class E airspace in the 

Philipsburg, PA, area to support IFR 

operations. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (83 FR 1584, January 12, 2018) 

for Docket No. FAA–2017–0755 to 

remove Class E surface airspace at MidState Airport as the airport no longer 

qualifies for the airspace. Also, the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet or more above the surface 

surrounding Philipsburg Area Hospital 

Heliport is removed as the hospital has 

closed. 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 paragraphs 6002 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11B 

dated August 3, 2017, and effective 

September 15, 2017, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11B, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017. FAA 

Order 7400.11B is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

removes Class E surface airspace at MidState Airport as the airport no longer 

qualifies for the airspace. Also, this 

action amends Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface at Phillipsburg, PA, by 

removing the controlled airspace area 

surrounding Philipsburg Area Hospital 

Heliport as the hospital has closed. 

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 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. 

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 5–6.5a. 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.

Office of the Secretary 

32 CFR Part 65 

[Docket ID: DOD–2017–OS–0046] 

RIN 0790–AJ94 

Post-9/11 GI Bill 

AGENCY: Under Secretary of Defense for 

Personnel and Readiness, DoD. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule removes the 

Department of Defense (DoD) regulation 

concerning the Post-9/11 GI Bill. In 

2009, when first published, this part 

included significant information 

explaining the entire program, including 

the responsibilities of both DoD and the 

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). 

When the part was revised at 78 FR 

34251 on June 7, 2013, however, it only 

addressed DoD responsibilities, as VA 

responsibilities are now addressed in 

that agency’s regulations. All burdens 

and responsibilities pertaining to 

persons who are not members of the 

Uniformed Services are addressed in VA 

regulations, and repeal of this regulation 

will have no effect on VA regulations. 

Repealing this rule supports website 

best practices because the public user is 

linked to the original and appropriate 

source, VA. This rule is internal to DoD 

and should be removed. 

DATES: This rule is effective on June 11, 

2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patricia Leopard at 571–256–0590. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been 

determined that publication of this CFR 

part removal for public comment is 

impracticable, unnecessary, and 

contrary to public interest since it is 

based on removing DoD internal 

policies and procedures that are 

publically available on the Department’s 

issuance website. 

DoD internal guidance concerning the 

Post-9/11 GI Bill will continue to be 

published in DoD Instruction 1341.13, 

‘‘Post-9/11 GI Bill’’ available at http://

www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/ 

Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/ 

134113p.pdf. 

This rule is not significant under 

Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 

‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review,’’ 

therefore, E.O. 13771, ‘‘Reducing 

Regulation and Controlling Regulatory 

Costs’’ does not apply.

Defense Contract Audit Agency 

(DCAA) Freedom of Information Act 

Program 

AGENCY: Defense Contract Audit 

Agency, DoD. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD’s 

regulation concerning the Defense 

Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) 

Freedom of Information Act program. 

On February 6, 2018, the DoD published 

a revised FOIA program rule as a result 

of the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016. 

When the DoD FOIA program rule was 

revised, it included DoD component 

information and removed the 

requirement for component 

supplementary rules. The DoD now has 

one DoD-level rule for the FOIA 

program that contains all the codified 

information required for the 

Department. Therefore, this part can be 

removed from the CFR. 

DATES: This rule is effective on June 11, 

2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Keith Mastromichalis at 571–448–3153. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been 

determined that publication of this CFR 

part removal for public comment is 

impracticable, unnecessary, and 

contrary to public interest since it is 

based on removing DoD internal 

policies and procedures that are 

publically available on the Department’s 

website. 

DCAA internal guidance concerning 

the implementation of the FOIA within 

DCAA will continue to be published in 

DCAA Instruction No. 5410.8 (available 

at http://www.dcaa.mil/Content/ 

Documents/DCAAI_5410.8.pdf). 

This rule is one of 14 separate DoD 

FOIA rules. With the finalization of the 

DoD-level FOIA rule at 32 CFR part 286,
