Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed 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 proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E 

surface area airspace at Perry Stokes 

Airport, Trinidad, CO, to within a 4.6- 

mile radius of the airport (from a 4.2- 

mile radius), with a segment extending 

from the airport 4.6-mile radius to 7.2 

miles southwest of the airport. Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface would be 

modified to within a 7.2-mile radius of 

the airport (from an 8-mile radius) from 

the airport 232° bearing clockwise to the 

056° bearing, and within a 4.6-mile 

radius from the airport 056° bearing 

clockwise to the 232° bearing, and with 

a segment extending from the 4.6-mile 

radius of the airport to 9.3 miles 

southwest of the airport. The Class E 

1,200 feet airspace would be removed as 

this airspace is controlled by the Blue 

Mesa en route airspace area. Also, the 

airport’s geographic coordinates would 

be updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. New RNAV 

standard instrument approach 

procedures, due to decommissioning of 

the Trinidad NDB, has made this action 

necessary for the safety, efficiency, and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002, and 6005, 

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 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, is noncontroversial and unlikely to result in 

adverse or negative comments. 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 rule, 

when promulgated, would 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 will 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.

I. General Information 

Does this action apply to me? 

This action may be of interest to you 

if you are an educational institution, 

company, or nonprofit organization, 

especially one that has or would like to 

receive Federal funding for scientific 

research and development. 

II. Background 

These proposed rule revisions are 

promulgated under the University and 

Small Business Patent Procedures Act of 

1980, Public Law 96–517 (as amended), 

codified at title 35 of the United States 

Code (U.S.C.) 200 et seq., commonly 

known as the ‘‘Bayh-Dole Act,’’ which 

governs rights in inventions made with 

Federal assistance. The Bayh-Dole Act 

obligates nonprofit organizations and 

small business firms (‘‘contractors’’), 

and large businesses, as directed by 

Executive Order 12591, to disclose each 

‘‘subject invention’’ (that is, each 

invention conceived or first actually 

reduced to practice in the performance 

of work under a funding agreement, 35 

U.S.C. 201(e)) within a reasonable time 

after the invention becomes known to 

the contractor, 35 U.S.C. 202(c)(1), and 

permits contractors to elect, within a 

reasonable time after disclosure, to 

retain title to a subject invention 35 

U.S.C. 202(a). Under certain defined 

‘‘exceptional’’ circumstances, Bayh-Dole 

permits the Government to restrict or 

eliminate the contractor’s right to elect 

to retain title, 35 U.S.C. 202(a), 202(b), 

and under such circumstances, rights 

vest in the Government. 

The Secretary of Commerce has 

delegated to the Director of NIST the 

authority to promulgate implementing 

regulations. Regulations implementing 

35 U.S.C. 202 through 204 are codified 

at 37 CFR part 401, ‘‘Rights to 

Inventions Made by Nonprofit 

Organizations and Small Business Firms 

under Government Grants, Contracts, 

and Co-operative Agreements,’’ and 

apply to all Federal agencies, 37 CFR 

401.1(b). These regulations govern all 

subject inventions, 37 CFR 401.2(d), 

even if the Federal government is not 

the sole source of funding for either the 

conception or the reduction to practice, 

37 CFR 401.1(a). Regulations 

implementing 35 U.S.C. 208, specifying 

the terms and conditions upon which 

federally owned inventions, other than 

inventions owned by the Tennessee 

Valley Authority, may be licensed on a 

nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or 

exclusive basis, are codified at 37 CFR
