(2) The NPPO of New Zealand or its 

approved designee must visit and 

inspect the places of production 

monthly beginning at blossom drop and 

continuing until the end of the harvest 

season for quarantine pests. Appropriate 

pest controls must be applied in 

accordance with the operational 

workplan. If the NPPO of New Zealand 

finds that a place of production is not 

complying with the requirements of this 

section, no fruit from the place of 

production will be eligible for export to 

the United States until APHIS and the 

NPPO of New Zealand conduct an 

investigation and appropriate remedial 

actions have been implemented. 

(d)(1) Packinghouse requirements. All 

packinghouses that participate in the 

export program must be approved by 

and registered with the New Zealand 

NPPO in accordance with the 

requirements of the operational 

workplan. 

(2) During the time the packinghouse 

is in use for exporting persimmons to 

the United States, the packinghouse 

may only accept persimmons from 

registered approved places of 

production and the fruit must be 

segregated from fruit intended for other 

markets. 

(3) All diseased or insect-infested fruit 

and fruit with surface pests must be 

culled either before or during packing 

and removed from the packinghouse. 

Culling must also include any damaged 

or deformed fruit. 

(4) Boxes or other containers in which 

the fruit is shipped must be marked to 

identify the place of production where 

the fruit originated and the 

packinghouse where it was packed. 

(5) The NPPO of New Zealand must 

monitor packinghouse operations to 

verify that the packinghouses are 

complying with the requirements of the 

systems approach. If the NPPO of New 

Zealand finds that a packinghouse is not 

complying with the requirements of this 

section, no fruit from the packinghouse 

will be eligible for export to the United 

States until APHIS and the NPPO of 

New Zealand conduct an investigation 

and appropriate remedial actions have 

been implemented. 

(e) Sampling. Inspectors from the 

NPPO of New Zealand must inspect a 

biometric sample of the fruit from each 

consignment at a rate jointly agreed 

upon by APHIS and the NPPO of New 

Zealand. The inspectors must visually 

inspect for quarantine pests listed in the 

operational workplan required by 

paragraph (a) of this section and must 

cut fruit to inspect for the Lepidoptera 

pests of concern when visual signs of 

the internal feeders are present. If 

quarantine pests are detected in this 

inspection, the consignment will be 

prohibited entry into the United States. 

(f) Treatment. Each consignment of 

persimmons must be subjected to a postharvest treatment by either: 

(1) Hot water treatment. The 

persimmons are held for 20 minutes in 

hot water at 50 °C (122 °F); or 

(2) Modified atmosphere treatment. 

The persimmons are packed in semipermeable polymeric bags and stored at 

0 °C for a minimum of 28 days. 

(g) Phytosanitary certificate. Each 

consignment of persimmons must be 

accompanied by a phytosanitary 

certificate of inspection issued by the 

New Zealand NPPO with an additional 

declaration stating that the fruit in the 

consignment were grown, packed, and 

inspected and found to be free of 

quarantine pests in accordance with the 

requirements of the systems approach.

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 at Highland 

Community Hospital Heliport, 

Picayune, MS, to support IFR operations 

under standard instrument approach 

procedures at the heliport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM in the 

Federal Register (82 FR 25991, June 6, 

2017) Docket No. FAA–2017–0320 to 

establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Highland Community Hospital 

Heliport, Picayune, MS, due to the new 

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures developed for IFR 

operations at the heliport. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 


jstallworth on DSKBBY8HB2PROD with RULES
45958 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 190 / Tuesday, October 3, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

part 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 action amends title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.5-mile radius of Highland 

Community Hospital Heliport, 

Picayune, MS. This action provides the 

controlled airspace required to support 

the new RNAV (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures for IFR 

operations at Highland Community 

Hospital Heliport. 

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. 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. 

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 preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
