7 CFR Part 301 

[Docket No. APHIS–2013–0078] 

Asian Longhorned Beetle; Quarantined 

Areas in New Jersey 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule as 

final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final 

rule, without change, an interim rule 

that amended the Asian longhorned 

beetle regulations by removing portions 

of Middlesex and Union Counties, NJ, 

from the list of quarantined areas based 

on our determination that those areas 

meet our criteria for removal. The 

interim rule was necessary to relieve 

restrictions that are no longer necessary 

because there are no longer any areas in 

New Jersey that are quarantined because 

of Asian longhorned beetle. 

DATES: Effective on July 18, 2014, we are 

adopting as a final rule the interim rule 

published at 79 FR 17387–17388 on 

March 28, 2014.

2352. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB, 

Anoplophora glabripennis), an insect 

native to China, Japan, Korea, and the 

Isle of Hainan, is a destructive pest of 

hardwood trees. The ALB regulations in 

7 CFR 301.51–1 through 301.51–9 

(referred to below as the regulations) 

restrict the interstate movement of 

regulated articles from quarantined 

areas to prevent the artificial spread of 

ALB to noninfested areas of the United 

States. 

In an interim rule 1 effective and 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 28, 2014 (79 FR 17387–17388, 

Docket No. APHIS–2013–0078), we 

amended the regulations by removing 

the entry for Middlesex and Union 

Counties, NJ. That action relieved 

restrictions on the movement of 

regulated articles from those areas that 

are no longer warranted. With that 

change, there are no longer any areas in 

New Jersey that are quarantined because 

of ALB. 

Comments on the interim rule were 

required to be received on or before May 

27, 2014. We did not receive any 

comments. Therefore, for the reasons 

given in the interim rule, we are 

adopting the interim rule as a final rule 

without change. 

This action also affirms the 

information contained in the interim 

rule concerning Executive Order 12866 

and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 

Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and 

the Paperwork Reduction Act. 

Further, for this action, the Office of 

Management and Budget has waived its 

review under Executive Order 12866.

Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Phoenix, AZ 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E airspace at the Phoenix VHF OmniDirectional Radio Range Tactical Air 

Navigation Aid (VORTAC), Phoenix, 

AZ, to facilitate vectoring of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft under control 

of Albuquerque Air Route Traffic 

Control Center (ARTCC). This improves 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations within the National Airspace 

System. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC,

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 26, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to establish controlled airspace at 

Phoenix, AZ (78 FR 78298). 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 National Business Aviation 

Association in support of the 

recommended change. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6006, of FAA 

Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, 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 that 

Order.

41878 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 138 / Friday, July 18, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

establishing Class E en route domestic 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface, at the Phoenix 

VORTAC navigation aid, Phoenix, AZ, 

to accommodate IFR aircraft under 

control of Albuquerque Air Route 

Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) by 

vectoring aircraft from en route airspace 

to terminal areas. This action is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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 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. The FAA’s 

authority to issue rules regarding 

aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the 

U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 

discusses 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 establishes 

controlled airspace at the Phoenix 

VORTAC navigation aid, Phoenix, AZ. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. 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.
