from the airport intersects the 7.3-mile 

radius. This area protects aircraft using 

the RNAV approach to runway 6 and 

departures until reaching 1,200 feet 

AGL. In addition, the FAA identified 

that the airport name, contained in the 

NPRM, was not consistent with the 

National Airspace System Resource 

(NASR) database. This action will 

update the airport name to match 

NASR.

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 

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 5–6.5a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant the preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

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 establishes 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface of the earth 

to support IFR operations at Crooked 

Creek Airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 10882; February 23, 

2021) for Docket No. FAA–2021–0004 to 

establish Class E airspace at Crooked 

Creek Airport, Crooked Creek, AK.

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA, none were 

received. 

Class E5 airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020, 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. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020. FAA 

Order 7400.11E is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

establishes Class E airspace, extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Crooked Creek Airport. The Class E 

airspace is established within a 2 mile 

radius of the airport, excluding that area 

within the Stony B Military Operations 

Area, and that airspace within 2 miles 

each side of the 332° bearing extending 

from the 2-mile radius to 8.5 miles 

northwest of the airport. This airspace 

protects aircraft using the RNAV 

approach to runway 14 and departures 

until reaching 1,200 feet AGL. 

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on

Flexibility in Evaluating ‘‘Close 

Proximity of Time’’ Due to COVID–19 

Related Barriers to Healthcare 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule with 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: Since the outset of the 

COVID–19 national public health 

emergency, many individuals have 

experienced barriers that prevent them 

from timely accessing healthcare. In 

response to those barriers, we are 

issuing this rule to temporarily revise 

our requirement in the Listing of 

Impairments (listings) that, for purposes 

of applying several of our 

musculoskeletal disorder listings, all 

relevant medical criteria be present 

simultaneously or ‘‘within a close 

proximity of time,’’ which we define as 

being ‘‘within a consecutive 4-month 

period.’’ While this rule is in effect, we 

will find that the evidence of a 

musculoskeletal disorder is present 

‘‘within a close proximity of time’’ if the 

available evidence establishes such a 

condition within a consecutive 12- 

month period. We expect that this 

temporary change to our rules will 

allow us to make findings of disability 

in appropriate cases in which 

individuals have experienced barriers to 

access to healthcare because of the 

COVID–19 national public health 

emergency. 

DATES: 

Effective date: This temporary final 

rule is effective on July 23, 2021. For 

more information, see SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION. 

Comment date: We invite written 

comments. Comments must be 

submitted on or before September 21, 

2021. 

Expiration date: Unless we extend the 

expiration date by a final rule published 

in the Federal Register, this temporary 

final rule will cease to be effective 6 

months after the effective date of a 

determination by the Secretary of Health 

and Human Services under section 319 

of the Public Health Service Act, 42 

U.S.C. 247d, that the COVID–19 

national public health emergency no 

longer exists. We will publish a 

document in the Federal Register 

announcing the expiration date. For 

more information, see SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION.
