occurrence of self-sustaining, 

uncontrollable increases in temperature 

or pressure. 

3. Not emit explosive or toxic gases, 

either in normal operation or as a result 

of its failure, that may accumulate in 

hazardous quantities within the 

airplane. 

4. Meet the requirements of § 25.863. 

5. Not damage surrounding structure 

or adjacent systems, equipment, or 

electrical wiring from corrosive fluids or 

gases that may escape in such a way as 

to cause a major or more severe failure 

condition. 

6. Have provisions to prevent any 

hazardous effect on airplane structure or 

systems caused by the maximum 

amount of heat it can generate due to 

any failure of it or its individual cells. 

7. Have a failure sensing and warning 

system to alert the flightcrew if its 

failure affects safe operation of the 

airplane. 

8. Have a means for the flightcrew or 

maintenance personnel to determine the

Docket No. 17–ACE–11] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Charles City, IA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Northeast Iowa 

Regional Airport, Charles City, IA. This 

action is required due to the 

decommissioning of the Charles City 

non-directional radio beacon (NDB), and 

the cancellation of the associated 

instrument approach procedures. 

Additionally, the name of the airport is 

being updated to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. This 

action enhances the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 29, 

2018. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 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 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Northeast 

Iowa Regional Airport, Charles City, IA, 

to support IFR operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 48010; October 16, 

2017) for Docket No. FAA–2017–0949 to 

modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Northeast Iowa Regional Airport, 

Charles City, IA. 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 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017, 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. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11B, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017. FAA 

Order 7400.11B is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

modifies Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced 

from a 7-mile radius) of Northeast Iowa 

Regional Airport (formerly Charles City 

Municipal Airport), Charles City, IA, 

and updates the name of the airport to 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
2536 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

due to cancellation of the instrument 

approach procedures associated with 

the decommissioned Charles City NDB, 

and to bring the airspace in compliance 

with FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for 

Handling Airspace Matters. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at this 

airport. 

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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5.a. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under section 711 of the Civil Rights 

Act of 1964 (Title VII), which is 

incorporated by reference in section 105 

of the Americans with Disabilities Act 

(ADA) and section 207 of the Genetic

(GINA), and 29 CFR 1601.30(a), every 

employer, employment agency, labor 

organization, and joint labormanagement committee controlling an 

apprenticeship or other training 

program covered by Title VII, ADA, or 

GINA must post notices describing the 

pertinent provisions of Title VII, ADA, 

or GINA. Such notices must be posted 

in prominent and accessible places 

where notices to employees, applicants, 

and members are customarily

The EEOC first adjusted the civil 

monetary penalty for violations of the 

notice posting requirements in 1997 

pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties 

Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 

(FCPIA Act), 28 U.S.C. 2461 note, as 

amended by the Debt Collection 

Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), Public 

Law 104–134, Sec. 31001(s)(1), 110 Stat. 

1373. A final rule was published in the 

Federal Register on May 16, 1997, at 62 

FR 26934, which raised the maximum 

penalty per violation from $100 to $110. 

The EEOC’s second adjustment, made 

pursuant to the FCPIA Act, as amended 

by the DCIA, was published in the 

Federal Register on March 19, 2014, at 

79 FR 15220 and raised the maximum 

penalty per violation from $110 to $210. 

The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation 

Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 

2015 (2015 Act), Public Law 114–74, 

Sec. 701(b), 129 Stat. 599, further 

amended the FCPIA Act, to require each 

federal agency, not later than July 1, 

2016, and not later than January 15 of 

every year thereafter, to issue 

regulations adjusting for inflation the 

maximum civil penalty that may be 

imposed pursuant to each agency’s 

statutes. The EEOC’s initial adjustment 

made pursuant to the 2015 Act was 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 2, 2016, at 81 FR 35269 and raised 

the maximum penalty per violation 

from $210 to $525. The EEOC’s second 

adjustment made pursuant to the 2015 

Act was published in the Federal 

Register on January 31, 2017, at 82 FR 

8812 and raised the maximum penalty 

per violation from $525 to $534. The 

purpose of the annual adjustment for 

inflation is to maintain the remedial
