12898 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 8, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

paragraph (a) of this section shall be 

divested within 90 calendar days of 

confirmation by the Senate of the 

Governor’s nomination, or as soon as 

possible thereafter if there are 

restrictions on divestiture. 

(2) Newly-prohibited financial 

interests following confirmation. If a 

financial interest directly or indirectly 

held by a Governor or his or her spouse 

or minor child, or a financial interest 

actively controlled by a Governor on 

behalf of any entity, becomes prohibited 

subsequent to the Governor’s 

confirmation: 

(i) The Governor shall report the 

prohibited financial interest to the 

Postal Service’s Designated Agency 

Ethics Official (DAEO) within 30 

calendar days of the DAEO informing 

the Governors that such financial 

interests have become prohibited; and 

(ii) The prohibited financial interest 

shall be divested within 90 calendar 

days of the DAEO informing the 

Governors that such financial interests 

have become prohibited, or as soon as 

possible thereafter if there are 

restrictions on divestiture. 

(3) Prohibited financial interests 

acquired without specific intent 

following confirmation.—(i) If a 

Governor or his or her spouse or minor 

child acquires a financial interest 

prohibited by paragraph (a)(1) of this 

section without specific intent to 

acquire it (such as through marriage, 

inheritance, or gift) subsequent to the 

Governor’s confirmation: 

(A) The Governor shall report the 

prohibited financial interest to the 

Postal Service’s DAEO within 30 

calendar days of its acquisition; and 

(B) The prohibited financial interest 

shall be divested within 90 calendar 

days of its acquisition, or as soon as 

possible thereafter if there are 

restrictions on divestiture. 

(ii) If an entity whose financial 

interests are actively controlled by a 

Governor acquires a financial interest 

described in paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (ii) of 

this section without specific intent to 

acquire it (such as through a gift) 

subsequent to the Governor’s 

confirmation: 

(A) The Governor shall report the 

prohibited financial interest to the 

Postal Service’s DAEO within 30 

calendar days of its acquisition; and 

(B) The prohibited financial interest 

shall be divested within 90 calendar 

days of its acquisition, or as soon as 

possible thereafter if there are 

restrictions on divestiture. 

(4) Disqualification from participating 

in particular matters pending 

divestiture. Pending any required 

divestiture of a prohibited financial 

interest provided for in paragraph (c) of 

this section, a Governor shall disqualify 

himself or herself from participating in 

particular matters involving or affecting 

the prohibited financial interest. 

Disqualification is accomplished by not 

participating in the particular matter. 

(d) Waiver of prohibited financial 

interests. For good cause shown by a 

Governor, the Postal Service’s DAEO 

may grant a written waiver to the 

Governor of any prohibited financial 

interest described in paragraph (a), 

(c)(2), or (c)(3) of this section; provided 

that the DAEO finds that the waiver is 

not inconsistent with 5 CFR part 2635 

or otherwise prohibited by law, and that 

under the particular circumstances, 

application of the prohibition is not 

necessary to avoid the appearance of the 

Governor’s misuse of position or loss of 

impartiality or otherwise to ensure 

confidence in the impartiality or 

objectivity with which the Postal 

Service’s programs are administered. 

The DAEO may impose appropriate 

conditions for granting of the waiver, 

such as requiring the Governor to 

execute a written statement of 

disqualification. 

(e) Definition. For purposes of this 

section, a person engaged in the 

delivery outside the mails of any type of 

mailable matter is as defined in 

§ 7001.102(d)(3).

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 8, 2022 / Proposed Rules 12899 

scope of that authority as it would

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 to within 6.6-mile 

(decreased from a 6.7-mile) radius of 

Owatonna Degner Regional Airport, 

Owatonna, MN; and removing the 

Halfway VOR/DME associated with the 

airspace in the legal description as it is 

no longer required; and updating the 

name (previously Owatonna Municipal 

Airport) and geographic coordinates of 

Owatonna Degner Regional Airport to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review due to the decommissioning of 

the Owatonna NDB and the Owatonna 

OM, which provided guidance to the 

instrument procedures at this airport. 

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.
