40078 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 163 / Thursday, August 24, 2017 / Proposed Rules 

• With respect to pre-licensing 

inspections to assess compliance, 

reducing from three to two the number 

of opportunities an applicant has to 

correct deficiencies and take corrective 

measures before the applicant forfeits 

his or her application and fee and must 

reapply for a license; 

• Closing a loophole in the current 

regulations that allows individuals and 

businesses, although they do not operate 

as bona fide exhibitors, to become 

licensed as such in order to circumvent 

State laws restricting ownership of 

exotic and wild animals to AWAlicensed exhibitors; 

• Strengthening existing prohibitions 

to expressly restrict individuals and 

businesses whose licenses have been 

suspended or revoked from working for 

other regulated entities, and prevent 

individuals with histories of 

noncompliance (or orders suspending or 

revoking a license) from applying for 

new licenses through different 

individuals or business names; and 

• Streamlining the procedures for 

denying a license application, 

terminating a license, and summarily 

suspending a license. 

To aid in the development of those 

potential regulatory changes, we invite 

data and information from the public 

regarding potential economic effects, 

including benefits and costs, on dealers, 

operators of auction sales, and 

exhibitors, and potential alternatives to 

reduce regulatory burdens and more 

efficiently and consistently ensure 

sustained compliance of licensees with 

the AWA. In addition, we invite 

comments from the public on the 

following questions: 

1. Should we propose to establish a 

firm expiration date for licenses (such as 

3–5 years) and if so, what should that 

date be and why? Please provide 

supporting data. 

2. What fees would be reasonable to 

assess for licenses issued? Are the 

existing license fees (9 CFR 2.6) 

reasonable, or should they be adjusted 

to take additional factors into 

consideration, such as the type of 

animals used in regulated activities? 

Please provide data in support of any 

proposed adjustments to the license 

fees. 

3. In addition to the existing 

prohibitions on any person whose 

license has been suspended or revoked 

from buying, selling, transporting, 

exhibiting, or delivering for 

transportation animals during the 

period of suspension or revocation (9 

CFR 2.10(c)), should such persons be 

prohibited from engaging in other 

activities involving animals regulated 

under the AWA, such as working for 

other AWA-regulated entities or using 

other individual names or business 

entities to apply for a license? Please 

suggest specific activities that should be 

covered and provide supporting data 

and information. 

4. Do you have any other specific 

concerns or recommendations for 

reducing regulatory burdens involving 

the licensing process or otherwise 

improving the licensing requirements 

under the AWA? 

This action has been determined to be 

not significant for the purposes of 

Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, 

has not been reviewed by the Office of 

Management and Budget. This action is 

not a regulatory action under Executive 

Order 13771. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2131–2159; 7 CFR

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 3, 2016, and effective 

September 15, 2016. FAA Order 

7400.11A is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A 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 Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 that would: 

Establish Class D airspace within a 

4.7-mile radius of Clinton-Sherman 

Airport, Burns Flat, OK, to replace the 

airspace designation of ClintonSherman Airport, Clinton-Sherman 

Airport, OK, and bring the airspace 

descriptions in line with the 

requirements of FAA Order 7400.2L, 

Procedures for Handling Airspace 

Matters; 

Remove Class D airspace at ClintonSherman Airport, Clinton-Sherman 

Airport, OK; and Modify Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface as follows: 

Within a 7.2-mile radius (reduced 

from an 8.2-mile radius) of ClintonSherman Airport, Burns Flat, OK, and 

remove the Burns Flat VORTAC and 

extensions to the south and north of the 

airport from the airspace description; 

Correcting the airspace header to 

Clinton, OK, (formerly Clinton 

Municipal Airport, OK) to comply with 

FAA Order 7400.2L, remove the 

extension south of Clinton Regional 

Airport (formerly Clinton Municipal 

Airport), add an extension 2 miles each 

side of the 359° bearing from the airport 

from the 6.5-mile radius to 7 miles north 

of the airport, and update the name of 

the airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database; and 

Within a 6.5-mile radius (increased 

from a 6.4-mile radius) of Elk City 

Regional Business Airport (formerly Elk 

City Municipal Airport), Elk City, OK, 

remove the extension to the northeast of 

the airport, remove the Elk City RBN 

from the airspace description, and 

update the name and geographic 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Sayre VORTAC as part of the VOR MON 

Program, and to bring the airspace and 

airspace descriptions into compliance 

with FAA Order 7400.2L. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of standard instrument 

approach procedures for IFR operations 

at these airports. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraph 5000 and 

6005, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and 

effective September 15, 2016, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current, is noncontroversial 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 

proposed 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.

Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Burlington, WI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Burlington Municipal Airport, 

Burlington, WI. This action is necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Burbun VHF omnidirectional range 

(VOR), and cancellation of the VOR 

approach procedure, and would 

enhance the safety and management of 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport, as the FAA transitions to 

performance-based navigation as part of 

the Next Generation Air Transportation 

System (NextGen) to accommodate new 

standard instrument approach 

procedures for instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. This 

action would also update the geographic 

coordinates of the airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The request to decommission the 

Burbun VOR was requested by the Plans 

and Program office in the FAA’s Central 

Service Center. The Burbun VOR was 

one of the VORs on the list to be 

decommissioned within the VOR 

Minimum Operating Network published 

in the Federal Register (81 FR 48694, 

July 26, 2016). As part of NextGen, the 

number of conventional navaids would 

be reduced while more efficient area 

navigation (RNAV) routes and 

procedures are implemented throughout 

the National Airspace System.

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
