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 

Class D and Class E airspace at Mc 

Entire JNGB, Shaw AFB, and Sumter 

Airport, Eastover and Sumter, SC, to 

support IFR operations at these airports. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (83 FR 14610, April 5, 2018) for 

Docket No. FAA–2018–0131 to amend 

Class D and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Mc Entire JNGB due to the 

decommissioning of the Mc Entire NDB, 

and cancellation of the NDB approach. 

The NPRM also advised of the proposed 

amendment to the geographic 

coordinates of Mc Entire JNGB, and 

Shaw AFB, and Sumter Airport, Sumter, 

SC, and the Mc Entire JNGB TACAN 

geographic coordinates. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. One comment was received from 

the Aircraft Owners and Pilots 

Association (AOPA) in support of the 

proposal. In their comment, AOPA 

stated that the NPRM did not comply 

with FAA guidance in Order 7400.2, 

Procedures for Handling Airspace 

Matters, because a graphic was not 

included in the docket. Additionally, 

AOPA encouraged the FAA to follow 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 169 / Thursday, August 30, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 44215 

their guidance by making the action 

effective date concurrent with 

publication of the VFR sectional chart 

publication date. 

The FAA has determined AOPA’s 

comments raised no substantive issues 

related to the proposed changes to the 

airspace addressed in the NPRM. To the 

extent the FAA failed to follow its 

policies related to publishing graphics 

in the docket and coincidental to the 

sectional chart date, we note the 

following. 

The FAA provided graphics for this 

proposal on April 25, 2018. 

Nevertheless, specific to AOPA’s 

comment regarding the FAA already 

creating a graphical depiction of new or 

modified airspace overlaid on a 

Sectional Chart for quality assurance 

purposes, this is not correct nor 

required in all cases. During the 

airspace reviews, airspace graphics may 

be created, if deemed necessary, to 

determine if there are terrain issues, or 

if cases are considered complex. 

However, in many cases, a graphic is 

not required when developing an 

airspace proposal. 

With respect to AOPA’s comment 

addressing effective dates, FAA Order 

7400.2L, para 2–3–7.a.4. states that, to 

the extent practicable, airspace areas 

and restricted areas should become 

effective on a sectional chart date and 

that consideration should be given to 

selecting a sectional chart date that 

matches a 56-day en route chart cycle 

date. The FAA does consider Class E 

airspace amendment effective dates to 

coincide with the publication of 

sectional charts, to the extent 

practicable; however, this consideration 

is accomplished after the NPRM 

comment period ends in the Final Rule. 

Substantive comments received to 

NPRMs, flight safety concerns, 

management of IFR operations at 

affected airports, and immediacy of 

required proposed airspace amendments 

are some of the factors that must be 

taken into consideration when selecting 

the appropriate effective date. After 

considering all factors, the FAA may 

determine that selecting an effective 

date that conforms to a 56-day en route 

chart cycle date that is not coincidental 

to sectional chart dates is better for the 

NAS and its users rather than awaiting 

the next sectional chart date. 

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 

amends Class D airspace and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet or more above the surface of Mc 

Entire JNGB, due to the 

decommissioning of the Mc Entire NDB, 

and cancellation of the NDB approach. 

The changes enhance the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

The geographic coordinates of the Mc 

Entire JNGB, Shaw AFB, Sumter 

Airport, Sumter, and the Mc Entire 

JNGB TACAN also are adjusted to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database, and the airport names are 

updated to Mc Entire JNGB (formerly 

Mc Entire ANGB), and Sumter Airport 

(formerly Sumter Municipal Airport). 

Also, this action updates the name of 

the Mc Entire ANGB TACAN navigation 

aid to the Mc Entire JNGB TACAN. 

Finally, an editorial change is made to 

the airspace designation, removing the 

city from the airport name associated 

with Mc Entire JNGB and Shaw AFB to 

comply with a recent change to FAA 

Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in Paragraphs 5000 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 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Missile Technology Control 

Regime (MTCR or Regime) is an export 

control arrangement among 35 nations, 

including most of the world’s suppliers 

of advanced missiles and missile-related 

equipment, materials, software and 

technology. The regime establishes a 

common list of controlled items (the 

Annex) and a common export control 

policy (the Guidelines) that member 

countries implement in accordance with 

their national export controls. The 

MTCR seeks to limit the risk of 

proliferation of weapons of mass 

destruction by controlling exports of 

goods and technologies that could make 

a contribution to delivery systems (other 

than manned aircraft) for such weapons. 

In 1993, the MTCR’s original focus on 

missiles for nuclear weapons delivery 

was expanded to include the 

proliferation of missiles for the delivery 

of all types of weapons of mass 

destruction (WMD), i.e., nuclear, 

chemical and biological weapons. Such 

proliferation has been identified as a 

threat to international peace and 

security. One way to address this threat 

is to maintain vigilance over the transfer 

of missile equipment, material, and 

related technologies usable for systems 

capable of delivering WMD. MTCR 

members voluntarily pledge to adopt the 

Regime’s export Guidelines and to 

restrict the export of items contained in 

the Regime’s Annex. The Regime’s 

Guidelines are implemented through the 

national export control laws, regulations 

and policies of the regime members. 

Amendments to the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) 

This final rule revises the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) to 

reflect changes to the MTCR Annex 

agreed to at the October 2017 Plenary in 

Dublin, Ireland, and changes resulting 

from the May 2017 Technical Experts 

Meeting (TEM) in Stockholm, Sweden. 

References are provided below for the 

MTCR Annex changes agreed to at the 

meetings that correspond to the EAR 

revisions described below. This rule 

also makes changes to the Commerce 

Control List (CCL) (Supplement No. 1 to 

part 774 of the EAR) to conform with 

the MTCR Annex. All of the changes in 

this final rule align the MT controls on 

the CCL with the MTCR Annex. In the 

discussion below, BIS identifies the 

origin of each change in the regulatory 

text of this final rule by using one the 

following parenthetical phrases: (Dublin 

2017 Plenary), (Stockholm 2017 TEM), 

or (Changes to Align with MTCR 

Annex). 

Amendments to the Commerce Control 

List (CCL) 

This final rule amends the CCL to 

reflect changes to the MTCR Annex by 

amending seventeen ECCNs, as follows: 

ECCN 1B117. This final rule amends 

ECCN 1B117 by revising the heading to 

remove the criteria for which ‘‘batch 

mixers’’ are controlled under this entry 

and moves the criteria to the new 

‘‘items’’ paragraphs a and b in the List 

of Items Controlled section. This final 

rule, as a conforming change, 

redesignates existing ‘‘items’’ 

paragraphs a and b as paragraphs c and 

d (including redesignating the Note to 

paragraph b as Note to paragraph d), 

respectively, so that all criteria that 

identify ‘‘batch mixers’’ that are 

controlled under ECCN 1B117 are in the 

List of Items Controlled section. These 

changes involving the rearranging of the 

existing text are being made for clarity 

and consistency within the MTCR 

Annex (MTCR Annex Change, Category 

II: Item 4.B.3., Dublin 2017 Plenary). 

These changes are not expected to have 

any impact on the number of license 

applications received by BIS. 

ECCN 1B118. This final rule amends 

ECCN 1B118 by revising the heading to 

remove the criteria for which 

‘‘continuous mixers’’ are controlled 

under 1B118 and adds those criteria to 

the ‘‘items’’ paragraph in the List of 

Items Controlled section. This final rule 

revises ‘‘items’’ paragraphs a and b to 

include the control criteria that identify 

certain ‘‘continuous mixers’’ that are 

controlled under ECCN 1B118. This 

final rule, as a conforming change, also 

redesignates existing ‘‘items’’ paragraph 

b as paragraph c, which includes criteria 

that identify other ‘‘continuous mixers’’ 

that are controlled under ECCN 1B118. 

The changes to paragraph b, which this 

rule redesignates as ‘‘items’’ paragraph 

c.2, include making minor edits for 

clarity of the control parameters to more 

clearly identify the shafts controlled 

(MTCR Annex Change, Category II: Item 

4.B.3.a., Dublin 2017 Plenary). These 

changes involving the rearranging of the 

existing text are being made for clarity 

and consistency within the MTCR 

Annex. These changes are not expected 

to have any impact on the number of 

license applications received by BIS. 

ECCN 1C111. This final rule amends 

ECCN 1C111 by revising ‘‘items’’ 

paragraph a.1 in the List of Items 

Controlled section. In ‘‘items’’ 

paragraph a.1, this final rule removes 

the word ‘‘percent’’ and adds in its 

place the ‘‘%’’ sign in the phrase ‘‘if at 

least 10 percent of the total weight.’’ 

This change is being made for 

consistency with the MTCR Annex 

(Changes to Align with MTCR Annex). 

This is a clarification and will not 

change any scope of control. This 

change is not expected to have any 

impact on the number of license 

applications received by BIS.
