Docket No. 13–AWP–6] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of Restricted Area R–7201 

Farallon De Medinilla Island; Mariana 

Islands, GU 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action makes a minor 

correction to the longitude coordinate in 

the boundary of restricted area R–7201, 

Farallon De Medinilla Island, Mariana 

Islands, Guam. This change is due to the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s (NOAA) adoption of a 

revised datum which resulted in a 

minor shift in the charted location of 

Farallon De Medinilla Island. This 

action adjusts the longitude coordinate 

of the restricted area to ensure that it is 

charted in the proper position over the 

Island. 

DATES: Effective date: December 27, 

2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul 

Gallant, Airspace Policy and ATC 

Procedures Group, Office of Airspace 

Services, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; 

telephone: (202) 267–8783. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Based on a NOAA survey in 2010, it 

was determined that Farallon De 

Medinilla Island (FDM) was not plotted 

properly on the NOAA charts. As a 

result, the datum for charting the FDM 

inset on NOAA Chart 81086 was 

corrected based on the survey findings. 

This requires a minor adjustment in the 

longitude coordinate for R–7201 to take 

into account the revised positioning of 

FDM on NOAA Chart 81086 and to 

ensure that the restricted area is 

centered over FDM on the current 

NOAA chart. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by 

making a minor correction to the 

longitude coordinate in the description 

of restricted area R–7201, Farallon De 

Medinilla Island, Mariana Islands, 

Guam. This action changes the 

longitude coordinate from ‘‘long. 

146°04′39′′ E.’’ to ‘‘long. 146°03′31′′ E.’’ 

This change does not affect the 

designated altitudes or activities 

conducted within the restricted area. 

Because this is a minor change that 

merely provides a more accurate 

plotting of the FDM Island and the 

overlying restricted airspace to match 

the amended NOAA chart datum, notice 

and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b) are unnecessary. 

The FAA has determined that this 

action only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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. 

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 the airspace necessary 

to ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority as 

amends the description of restricted 

area R–7201, Farallon De Medinilla 

Island, Mariana Islands. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 

311d. This action is an administrative 

change to the description of affected 

restricted area R–7201 to reflect a more 

accurate geographic coordinate. It does 

not alter the dimensions, altitudes, time 

of designation or use of the airspace; 

therefore, it is not expected to cause any 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts, and no extraordinary 

circumstances exists that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment.

Technical Corrections Relating to the 

Procedures for the Production or 

Disclosure of Information in State or 

Local Criminal Proceedings 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security, Department of the Treasury. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This document amends U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

regulations to update the list of 

supervisors authorized to allow their 

employees to testify in state or local 

criminal proceedings in response to a 

demand of a court, administrative 

agency, or other authority. The 

applicable regulation was promulgated 

by the U.S. Customs Service prior to the 

creation of CBP as part of the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS). The changes are necessary to 

more accurately reflect the current CBP 

organizational structure. This document 

also makes non-substantive editorial 

and nomenclature changes to reflect the 

transfer of the legacy U.S. Customs 

Service of the Department of the 

Treasury to DHS and the creation of 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. Production or Disclosure in Federal, 

State, Local, and Foreign Proceedings 

Title 19, Code of Federal Regulations 

(19 CFR), Part 103, Subpart B, sets forth 

the procedures to be followed with 

respect to the production or disclosure 

of any information, including testimony, 

in all federal, state, local, and foreign 

proceedings when a demand of a court, 

administrative agency, or other 

authority is issued for such information. 

Although 19 CFR 103.22(a) generally 

requires prior written approval from the 

Chief Counsel of the former U.S. 

Customs Service, 19 CFR 103.26 allows 

certain agency supervisors to authorize 

their employees to testify, disclose, or 

produce certain information in state or 

local criminal cases when the demand 

is made by prosecutors. The listed 

agency supervisors include: port 

directors, special agents in charge, and 

chiefs of field laboratories. 

B. Establishment and Reorganization of 

CBP Under the Homeland Security Act 

of 2002 

The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) was established on 

January 24, 2003, pursuant to the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002. See 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public 

Law 107–296, 116 Stat. 2135, codified at 

6 U.S.C. 111. Section 403(1) of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002 

transferred the functions, personnel, 

assets, and liabilities of the U.S. 

Customs Service of the Department of 

the Treasury, including the functions of 

the Secretary of the Treasury, to the 

Secretary of Homeland Security, with 

certain exceptions pertaining to 

Customs revenue functions not relevant 

to this final rule. 

The reorganization under DHS 

resulted in the consolidation of certain 

existing organizations as well as the 

creation of new divisions, or offices, 

within U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP). The Office of Field 

Operations (OFO), Office of Internal 

Affairs (IA), U.S. Border Patrol (USBP), 

Office of Air and Marine (OAM), and 

Laboratory and Scientific Services 

(LSS) 1 were established under CBP 

following the reorganization under DHS. 

Similarly, under the DHS reorganization 

the investigative functions of the former 

U.S. Customs Service were reassigned to 

U.S. Immigration and Customs 

Enforcement (ICE).2

C. Regulatory Amendment 

The list of agency supervisors 

contained in 19 CFR 103.26 who can 

authorize their employees to testify or 

provide information in state or local 

criminal cases has not been updated to 

reflect the organizational structure of 

CBP. As such, it does not include 

personnel from USBP or OAM and it 

includes LSS position titles that no 

longer exist in the CBP organization. 

Therefore, it is necessary to amend 19 

CFR 103.26 to include the appropriate 

officials within CBP, including USBP, 

OAM, and LSS personnel. 

Under CBP’s current organizational 

structure, ‘‘port directors,’’ ‘‘special 

agents in charge within the Office of 

Internal Affairs,’’ ‘‘chief patrol agents’’, 

‘‘directors within the Office of Air and 

Marine’’, ‘‘directors of field 

laboratories’’, and ‘‘any supervisor of 

such officials’’ are the appropriate 

officials within OFO, IA, USBP, OAM, 

and LSS, respectively, who are 

authorized to allow employees under 

their supervision to provide information 

and testify in state or local criminal 

proceedings. 

For the reasons described above, and 

to more accurately reflect the current 

CBP organizational structure, this final 

rule amends 19 CFR 103.26 by adding 

‘‘chief patrol agents’’, ‘‘directors within 

the Office of Air and Marine’’, and ‘‘any 

supervisor of such officials’’; and by 

replacing ‘‘chiefs of field laboratories’’ 

with ‘‘directors of field laboratories’’ in 

the list of personnel authorized to allow 

employees under their supervision to 

testify, disclose, or produce certain 

information in state or local criminal 

proceedings. 

This document also amends 19 CFR 

part 103, Subpart B to reflect the 

transfer of the legacy U.S. Customs 

Service of the Department of the 

Treasury to DHS and the subsequent 

renaming of the agency as U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP). 

II. Statutory and Regulatory 

Requirements 

A. Inapplicability of Public Notice and 

Delayed Effective Date Requirements 

This amendment merely updates the 

regulations to reflect the current 

organizational structure of CBP as it 

relates to the supervisors authorized to 

allow employee testimony in state and 

local criminal proceedings and to reflect
