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 proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

would amend Class D airspace, Class E 

Surface Area Airspace, and Class E 

Airspace Designated as an Extension to 

a Class D Surface Area at Elmira/ 

Corning Regional Airport, Elmira, NY.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 3, 2016, and effective 

September 15, 2016. FAA Order 

7400.11A is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 to amend 

Class E Airspace designated as an 

extension to a Class D surface area at 

Elmira/Corning Regional Airport, 

Elmira, NY. The ERINN Outer Marker 

has been decommissioned, requiring 

airspace reconfiguration for the safety 

and management of IFR operations at 

the airport. This action also proposes to 

eliminate the NOTAM information that 

reads, ‘‘This Class E airspace area is 

effective during the specific dates and 

times established in advance by Notice 

to Airmen. The effective date and time 

will thereafter be continuously 

published in the Airport/Facility 

Directory.’’ From the regulatory text of 

the above airspace as it is not needed to 

supplement the existing part-time Class 

D airspace surrounding the airport. The 

geographic coordinates of the airport 

would be amended for Class D and Class 

E airspace to be in concert with the 

FAAs aeronautical database. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

Paragraphs 5000, 6002, and 6004, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A, 

dated August 3, 2016, and effective 

September 15, 2016, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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 

This proposal would be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) 

Office for Coastal Management is 

requesting comments on the preliminary 

findings and draft environmental 

assessment for a request from the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico for 

approval of amendments to the Puerto

the amendments to the PRCZMP do not 

meet the requirements for approval. 

This determination is subject to change 

depending on public comments and 

further information that may be 

submitted by the Commonwealth. As 

part of its review of the amendments, 

NOAA developed a draft environmental 

assessment pursuant to the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act for which 

comments are also requested. 

DATES: Comments on the preliminary 

findings and draft environmental 

assessment must be received by 

February 13, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on the preliminary findings and/or draft 

environmental assessment by either of 

the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The federal Coastal Zone 

Management Act provides incentives to 

states and U.S. territories to develop 

programs to manage coastal resources 

and uses. The PRCZMP was approved 

NOAA in 1978. Since that time, 

statutory and regulatory changes have 

been made to the organizational 

structure of the land use agencies which 

comprise the PRCZMP; the land use 

authority of local governments; and the 

permit decision-making process. These 

changes are in force and being 

implemented as laws of the 

Commonwealth pursuant to the Puerto 

Rico Permit Process Reform Act of 2009 

(Law 161), as amended by Law 151 of 

2013, and pursuant to the Autonomous 

Municipalities Act of 1991 (Law 81). In 

order to demonstrate that the program 

continues to meet the requirements for 

program approval established under the 

Coastal Zone Management Act and its 

implementing regulations, the 

Department of Natural and 

Environmental Resources has submitted 

these changes to NOAA for approval. 

Copies of the Commonwealth’s 

submission are available on the 

Regulations.Gov Web site under the 

Docket No. ‘‘NOAA–NOS–2016–0148.’’ 

NOAA’s Office for Coastal 

Management has determined that these 

changes are substantial and should be 

reviewed as a program amendment in 

accordance with 15 CFR part 923, 

subpart H. NOAA held a public hearing 

on the amendment in San Juan, Puerto 

Rico on September 2, 2015. The focus of 

the hearing was on whether the 

PRCZMP continues to meet the 

requirements for program approval as
