On August 13, 2013, the FCA Board 

reaffirmed, and made minor updates 

only, to FCA–PS–62 on, ‘‘Equal 

Employment Opportunity and 

Diversity.’’ The policy was changed to 

explicitly state that FCA provides 

reasonable religious accommodations 

consistent with Title VII and to clarify 

that opposition to or participation in the 

equal employment opportunity process 

may be a basis for reprisal claims. The 

policy was published in the Federal 

Register on August 20, 2013 (78 FR 

51187). The FCA will continue to 

publish new or revised policy 

statements in their full text.

14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2013–0600; Airspace 

Docket No. 13–ANM–18] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; St. 

George, UT 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at St. George Municipal 

Airport, St. George, UT, by removing the 

operating hours established by a Notice 

to Airmen (NOTAM) due to the airport 

changing from a part time to a full time 

facility. This improves the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

December 12, 2013. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 29, 2013, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 

controlled airspace at St. George, UT (78 

FR 45473). 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 paragraph 6002, of FAA 

Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class E surface airspace, at St. 

George Municipal Airport, St. George, 

UT. Due to increased air traffic, 

controlled airspace is now continuous 

24 hours, no longer requiring a NOTAM. 

The boundaries of the controlled 

airspace area remain the same. This 

action enhances the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at St. 

George Municipal Airport. 

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, 


Emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 206 / Thursday, October 24, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 63381 

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 amends 

controlled airspace at St. George 

Municipal Airport, St. George, UT. 

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.

Port Allen, Kauai; Barber’s Point and 

Honolulu Harbor, Oahu; Kaunakakai, 

Molokai; Kaumalapau, Lanai; Kahului, 

Maui and Kawaihae and Hilo on the

safety zones is to expedite the 

evacuation of the harbors in the event a 

tsunami warning is issued for the main 

Hawaiian Islands. 

DATES: This rule is effective on 

November 25, 2013. This rule will be 

enforced when the Captain of the Port, 

Honolulu issues the order to evacuate 

any or all of Hawaii’s nine commercial 

harbors in response to a tsunami 

warning. A written notice will be issued 

and a radio broadcast will be made 

when the Captain of the Port issues the 

evacuation order. This final rule will be 

enforced until the Captain of the Port 

lifts the evacuation order.

A. Regulatory History and Information 

The Coast Guard met with industry 

partners, commercial mariners, and 

recreational boaters during the creation 

of this rule. The Coast Guard then 

published a Notice of proposed 

rulemaking on May 17, 2013. No public 

meeting was requested and none was 

held. The Coast Guard received a total 

of one (1) comment during the notice 

and comment period which is addressed 

below. 

B. Basis and Purpose 

The statutory basis for this 

rulemaking is 33 U.S.C. 1231, which 

gives the Coast Guard, under a 

delegation from the Secretary of 

Homeland Security, regulatory authority 

to enforce the Ports and Waterways 

Safety Act. A safety zone is a water area, 

shore area, or water and shore area, for 

safety or environmental purposes, 

access is limited to authorized persons, 

vehicles, or vessels. 

The purpose for this rule is to 

evacuate and close Hawaii’s commercial 

harbors, collectively or individually, 

when a tsunami warning has been 

issued, in order to minimize the amount 

of vessel and port damage and a 

potential harbor blockage from a 

tsunami’s destructive forces. 

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes 

and the Final Rule 

The Coast Guard received a total of 

one comment on the referenced Notice 

of proposed rulemaking published May 

17, 2013. What follows is a review of, 

and the Coast Guard’s response to, the 

issues and questions that were 

presented by this commenter 

concerning the Notice of proposed 

rulemaking.
