Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRM’s should 

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 

Class E airspace at Boca Grande, FL 

providing the controlled airspace 

required to support the new Copter 

RNAV (GPS) special standard 

instrument approach procedures for 

Boca Grande Heliport. Controlled 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface is required for IFR 

operations within a 6-mile radius of the 

point in space coordinates of the 

heliport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, 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. 

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, 

would 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 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 proposed 

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 proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

would establish Class E airspace at Boca 

Grande Heliport, Boca Grande, FL. 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Proposed Priority 

This notice contains one proposed 

priority. 

RRTC on Research and Capacity 

Building for Minority Entities. 

Background 

There are approximately 19.6 million 

people between the ages of 18 and 64 

with a disability in the United States. 

Among people in the United States 

between the ages of 18 and 64, 10.4 

percent of non-Hispanic Whites, 7.9 

percent of Hispanics, and 4 percent of 

Asians reported having a disability in 

2011, as compared with 13.6 percent of 

Blacks or African Americans, and 17.1 

percent of American Indians or Alaskan 

Natives (Erickson et al., 2012). Not only 

do some racial and ethnic populations 

experience higher rates of disability 

than non-Hispanic Whites, but there are 

other examples of disparate outcomes in 

various life domains for racial and 

ethnic populations when compared to 

non-Hispanic Whites. For example, 

adult Hispanics, American Indians or 

Alaska Natives, and Blacks or African 

Americans with disabilities are 

significantly more likely to report fair or 

poor health (55.2 percent, 50.5 percent, 

and 46.6 percent, respectively) 

compared to non-Hispanic White and 

Asian individuals with disabilities (36.9 

percent and 24.9 percent, respectively) 

(Wolf et al., 2008). Blacks or African 

Americans and Hispanics with 

disabilities have significantly higher 

rates of unemployment (23.5 percent 

and 20.3 percent, respectively), relative 

to non-Hispanic White individuals with 

disabilities (13.7 percent) (Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, 2011). 

The disparities in outcomes provided 

the basis for section 21 of the 

Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 718). 

Section 21 requires NIDRR to reserve a 

portion of its funds each year for certain 

outreach activities, which may include 

making awards to minority entities and 

Indian tribes to conduct research, 

training, and technical assistance or 

related activities to improve services for 

individuals with disabilities from 

traditionally underserved racial and 

ethnic minority populations. The 

requirements in section 21 are aimed at 

helping individuals with disabilities 

from minority backgrounds and 

communities overcome the numerous 

challenges they face. These challenges 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
14482 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 6, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

include language barriers; cultural 

traditions and attitudes about disability; 

limited numbers of professional 

rehabilitation specialists and 

researchers from minority backgrounds; 

higher rates of poverty and lower rates 

of formal education; physical, social, 

and informational isolation from 

mainstream disability and rehabilitation 

agencies; and cultural identity and 

cross-cultural mistrust, among others 

(Balcazar et al., 2010). The section 21 

requirements are aligned with NIDRR’s 

commitment to develop new 

knowledge, interventions, and products 

that lead to improved outcomes for all 

individuals with disabilities, as well as 

to build the research capacity of entities 

with close cultural and social 

connections to individuals with 

disabilities from minority backgrounds. 

Minority entities are underrepresented in the field of disability and 

rehabilitation research, and, 

specifically, historically Black colleges 

or universities (HBCUs) are underrepresented among NIDRR’s grantees 

(Moore et al., 2012). A minority entity, 

as defined in section 21 of the 

Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 718), is a 

historically Black college or university, 

a Hispanic-serving institution of higher 

education, an American Indian tribal 

college or university, or another 

institution of higher education whose 

minority student enrollment is at least 

50 percent. Efforts are needed to build 

the capacity of HBCUs and other 

minority entities to conduct disability 

and rehabilitation research and develop 

rehabilitation professionals to address 

the ongoing challenges of providing 

equal opportunity and benefit to 

individuals with disabilities from 

traditionally underserved minority 

backgrounds and communities (Moore 

et al., 2012).

Proposed Priority 

The Assistant Secretary for Special 

Education and Rehabilitative Services 

proposes a priority to establish a 

Rehabilitation Research and Training 

Center (RRTC) on Research and 

Capacity Building for Minority Entities. 

One purpose of the RRTC is to generate 

new knowledge about the experiences 

and outcomes of individuals with 

disabilities from racial and ethnic 

minority backgrounds that can be used 

as a foundation for developing 

interventions to improve those 

outcomes. Another purpose of the RRTC 

is to enhance rehabilitation research 

capacity at minority entities, as defined 

in section 21 of the Rehabilitation Act 

(29 U.S.C 718). The RRTC must 

contribute to these outcomes by: 

(a) Conducting research that examines 

experiences and outcomes of 

individuals with disabilities from 

traditionally underserved racial and 

ethnic populations. Applicants must 

focus their research activities on topics 

that fall under at least one of the 

following major life domains identified 

in NIDRR’s Final Long-Range Plan for 

FY 2005–2009: (1) Employment, (2) 

Participation and Community Living, or 

(3) Health and Function. 

(b) Conducting research on the 

feasibility and potential effectiveness of 

methods and models for enhancing 

disability and rehabilitation research 

capacity and infrastructure at minority 

entities. 

(c) Serving as a national resource 

center for minority entities that are 

seeking to develop their research 

infrastructure, and to enhance their 

capacity to engage in disability and 

rehabilitation research. The RRTC must 

provide technical assistance and 

training to minority entities in order to 

develop their institutional research 

infrastructure and enhance their 

capacity to conduct disability and 

rehabilitation research. 

(d) Involving individuals with 

disabilities from traditionally 

underserved racial and ethnic 

populations in planning and 

implementing the RRTC’s activities and 

evaluating its work. 

(e) Providing outreach and training 

that enhances awareness of NIDRR and 

its research programs among minority 

entities. 

(f) Developing and implementing a 

strategy for disseminating research, 

training, and technical assistance 

products developed by the RRTC. The 

RRTC’s dissemination strategy must 

include an online information 

dissemination system that meets a 

government- or industry-recognized 

standard for accessibility by individuals 

with disabilities. 

Types of Priorities 

When inviting applications for a 

competition using one or more 

priorities, we designate the type of each 

priority as absolute, competitive 

preference, or invitational through a 

notice in the Federal Register. The 

effect of each type of priority follows: 

Absolute priority: Under an absolute 

priority, we consider only applications 

that meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(3)). 

Competitive preference priority: 

Under a competitive preference priority, 

we give competitive preference to an 

application by (1) awarding additional 

points, depending on the extent to 

which the application meets the priority 

(34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or (2) selecting 

an application that meets the priority 

over an application of comparable merit 

that does not meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(2)(ii)). 

Invitational priority: Under an 

invitational priority, we are particularly 

interested in applications that meet the 

priority. However, we do not give an 

application that meets the priority a 

preference over other applications (34 

CFR 75.105(c)(1)). 

Final Priority: We will announce the 

final priority in a notice in the Federal 

Register. We will determine the final 

priority after considering responses to 

this notice and other information 

available to the Department. This notice 

does not preclude us from proposing 

additional priorities, requirements, 

definitions, or selection criteria, subject 

to meeting applicable rulemaking 

requirements. 

Note: This notice does not solicit 

applications. In any year in which we choose 

to use this priority, we invite applications 

through a notice in the Federal Register. 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Regulatory Impact Analysis 

Under Executive Order 12866, the 

Secretary must determine whether this 

regulatory action is ‘‘significant’’ and, 

therefore, subject to the requirements of 

the Executive order and subject to 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). Section 3(f) of Executive 

Order 12866 defines a ‘‘significant 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 6, 2013 / Proposed Rules 14483 

regulatory action’’ as an action likely to 

result in a rule that may— 

(1) Have an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more, or 

adversely affect a sector of the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local, or tribal governments or 

communities in a material way (also 

referred to as an ‘‘economically 

significant’’ rule); 

(2) Create serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency; 

(3) Materially alter the budgetary 

impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, 

or loan programs or the rights and 

obligations of recipients thereof; or 

(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues 

arising out of legal mandates, the 

President’s priorities, or the principles 

stated in the Executive order. 

This proposed regulatory action is not 

a significant regulatory action subject to 

review by OMB under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866. 

We have also reviewed this regulatory 

action under Executive Order 13563, 

which supplements and explicitly 

reaffirms the principles, structures, and 

definitions governing regulatory review 

established in Executive Order 12866. 

To the extent permitted by law, 

Executive Order 13563 requires that an 

agency— 

(1) Propose or adopt regulations only 

on a reasoned determination that their 

benefits justify their costs (recognizing 

that some benefits and costs are difficult 

to quantify); 

(2) Tailor its regulations to impose the 

least burden on society, consistent with 

obtaining regulatory objectives and 

taking into account—among other things 

and to the extent practicable—the costs 

of cumulative regulations; 

(3) In choosing among alternative 

regulatory approaches, select those 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety, 

and other advantages; distributive 

impacts; and equity); 

(4) To the extent feasible, specify 

performance objectives, rather than the 

behavior or manner of compliance a 

regulated entity must adopt; and 

(5) Identify and assess available 

alternatives to direct regulation, 

including economic incentives—such as 

user fees or marketable permits—to 

encourage the desired behavior, or 

provide information that enables the 

public to make choices. 

Executive Order 13563 also requires 

an agency ‘‘to use the best available 

techniques to quantify anticipated 

present and future benefits and costs as 

accurately as possible.’’ The Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs of 

OMB has emphasized that these 

techniques may include ‘‘identifying 

changing future compliance costs that 

might result from technological 

innovation or anticipated behavioral 

changes.’’ 

We are issuing this proposed priority 

only on a reasoned determination that 

its benefits would justify its costs. In 

choosing among alternative regulatory 

approaches, we selected those 

approaches that would maximize net 

benefits. Based on the analysis that 

follows, the Department believes that 

this proposed priority is consistent with 

the principles in Executive Order 13563. 

We also have determined that this 

regulatory action would not unduly 

interfere with State, local, and tribal 

governments in the exercise of their 

governmental functions. 

In accordance with both Executive 

orders, the Department has assessed the 

potential costs and benefits of this 

regulatory action. The potential costs 

are those resulting from statutory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering the Department’s 

programs and activities. 

The benefits of the Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Projects and 

Centers Programs have been well 

established over the years. Projects 

similar to the new RTTC have been 

completed successfully, and the new 

RTTC, established consistently with this 

priority, is expected to improve the lives 

of individuals with disabilities from 

minority backgrounds; generate through 

research and development, disseminate, 

and promote the use of new information 

that will improve the outcomes for 

individuals with disabilities; and 

increase the capacity of minority 

entities to conduct disability and 

rehabilitation research and develop 

rehabilitation professionals.
