Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 10, 2021, and effective 

September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 

7400.11F is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F 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 14 CFR part 71 by amending the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Greenville 

Municipal Airport, Greenville, PA, by 

removing the Youngstown VORTAC and 

the associated extension from the 

airspace legal description. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review caused by the decommissioning 

of the Youngstown VOR, which 

provided navigation information for the 

instrument procedures at this airport, as 

part of the VOR MON Program. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current, is non-controversial 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.

AFFAIRS 

38 CFR Part 38 

RIN 2900–AR43 

Requesting Disinterment of an Eligible 

Decedent From a National Cemetery 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) proposes to amend 

regulations governing disinterment of 

eligible decedents interred in VA 

national cemeteries. The amendment is 

necessary to clarify the requirements 

that must be met before VA can decide 

a disinterment request. Clarification of 

the requirements will help ensure 

consistent administration of 

disinterment requests at all VA national 

cemeteries. 

Current regulations permit 

disinterment only when all living 

immediate family members of the 

decedent, and the person who initiated 

the interment (whether or not such 

person is a member of the immediate 

family), all give their written consent, or 

when VA receives an order from a court 

or State instrumentality of competent 

jurisdiction directing the disinterment. 

We propose to clarify that if the 

individual who initiated the interment 

does not consent, or is not alive to 

provide consent, or all living immediate 

family members are not in agreement, 

anyone seeking disinterment of an 

eligible decedent must obtain an order 

from a court or State instrumentality of 

competent jurisdiction to direct the 

disinterment. This clarification will 

support the regulatory principle that all 

burials in national cemeteries are 

considered permanent and final and 

that a disinterment will be permitted 

only for cogent reasons, preserve the 

intent of the individual who initiated 

the interment, and ensure that a court or 

other appropriate entity rather than VA 

will adjudicate family disputes. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

VA on or before April 11, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted through 

www.Regulations.gov. Comments 

should indicate that they are submitted 

in response to ‘‘RIN 2900–AR43— 

Requesting Disinterment of an Eligible 

Decedent from a National Cemetery.’’ 

Comments received will be available at 

www.regulations.gov for public viewing, 

inspection, or copies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

2400(a) of title 38, United States Code 

(U.S.C.), provides that NCA is 

responsible for the interment of 

deceased servicemembers and veterans. 

The authority to disinter, if appropriate, 

is a necessary and corresponding 

component of VA’s responsibility to 

inter eligible veterans or other eligible 

persons in a national cemetery. 

Interment of an eligible decedent in a 

national cemetery is considered 

permanent and final, and disinterment 

is approved only in limited 

circumstances. 

Currently, VA disinterment request 

and review criteria are codified in 38 

CFR 38.621, which states that 

‘‘[d]isinterment from a national 

cemetery will be approved only when 

all living immediate family members of 

the decedent, and the person who 

initiated the interment (whether or not 

he or she is a member of the immediate 

family), give their written consent, or 

when a court order or State 

instrumentality of competent 

jurisdiction directs the disinterment.’’ 

38 CFR 38.621(a). 

The regulation is not clear whether 

the condition of ‘‘living’’ also extends to 

the person who initiated the interment, 

as it does to immediate family members. 

Therefore, it could be interpreted that if 

the individual who initiated the 

interment is deceased and thus cannot 

provide written consent, VA could 

consider a family’s disinterment request 

without a court order or direction from 

a State instrumentality of competent 

jurisdiction if all living immediate 

family members of the decedent give 

their written consent. 

To eliminate ambiguity, VA proposes 

to clarify in § 38.621(a) and (b) that if 

the individual who initiated the 

interment does not consent, or is not 

alive to provide consent, or all living 

immediate family members are not in 

agreement, anyone seeking disinterment 

of an eligible decedent must seek a court 

order or State instrumentality of 

competent jurisdiction to direct the 

disinterment. This change supports the 

regulatory principle that all burials in 

national cemeteries are considered 

permanent and final and that a 

disinterment will be permitted only for 

cogent reasons, preserves the intent of 

the individual who initiated the 

interment, and ensures a deliberative 

court or administrative process that is 

better suited than VA to adjudicate 

family disputes. 

In addition to revising the regulatory 

text for disinterment requests, VA 

would revise VA Form 40–4970, 

Request for Disinterment, to reflect the 

changes to the regulatory text. VA also 

proposes to add a provision in 

§ 38.621(b)(2) stating: ‘‘If the person 

provides a false certification on VA 

Form 40–4970, he or she may be subject 

to penalties, to include fine or 

imprisonment or both.’’ VA would 

revise VA Form 40–4970 to include 

such a penalty statement. This change is 

necessary because VA Form 40–4970 

does not contain this penalty statement, 

which appears on most other burial and 

memorialization forms. In addition to 

making it consistent with other forms, 

the addition of the penalty statement to 

VA Form 40–4970 would help dissuade 

requestors from submitting the form 

without the required endorsement of the 

individual who initiated the interment 

and all living family members. 

We also note the current version of 38 

CFR 38.621 uses the title ‘‘National 

Cemetery Area Office Director,’’ but 

since 1998, that title has not been used 

and has been replaced by the current 

title ‘‘National Cemetery District
