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 

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 

7400.11B, 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 

at Bend Municipal Airport, Bend, OR. 

The airspace remains within the 4.3- 

mile radius of Bend Municipal Airport, 

with the segments extending northwest 

and south of the airport enlarged to 7 

miles wide (from 5.2 miles) extending to 

8.5 miles northwest (from 6.5 miles), 

and 5.8 miles wide (from 2.9 miles) 

extending to 8.8 miles south of the 

airport (from 9.3 miles south of the 

airport). This airspace redesign is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

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, will 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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final 

rule published in the Federal Register

feet above the surface at Oskaloosa 

Municipal Airport, Oskaloosa, IA, to 

accommodate new standard instrument 

approach procedures for instrument

reference action under Title 1, Code of

Clarifications to the Export 

Administration Regulations for the Use 

of License Exceptions 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule makes 

clarifications to the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) to 

provide guidance based on existing 

agency understanding and practice on 

the use of two license exceptions. 

Specifically, this final rule makes three 

clarifications to License Exception 

Governments, International 

Organizations, International Inspections 

under the Chemical Weapons 

Convention, and the International Space 

Station (GOV) and adds five notes, along 

with making other minor clarifications, 

to License Exception Strategic Trade 

Authorization (STA). These revisions 

respond to questions BIS has received 

about the use of these two EAR license 

exceptions and provide the general 

public answers to frequently asked 

questions based on existing agency 

interpretive practice. Therefore, the 

clarifications in this final rule do not 

change the EAR requirements for the 

use of the license exceptions but are 

intended to assist exporters new to the 

EAR. 

DATES: This rule is effective November 

1, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This final rule revises part 740 of the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR) by clarifying two license 

exceptions based on existing agency 

understanding and practice. To provide 

the general public with guidance on 

using these license exceptions, this final 

rule makes three clarifications to 

License Exception Governments, 

International Organizations, 

International Inspections under the 

Chemical Weapons Convention, and the 

International Space Station (GOV) and 

adds five notes, along with making other 

minor clarifications, to License 

Exception Strategic Trade Authorization 

(STA). These changes are described 

below under sections: (A) Clarifications 

for License Exception GOV and (B) 

Clarifications for License Exception 

STA. 

With these revisions, BIS is not 

changing the EAR requirements for the 

use of these license exceptions. Instead, 

the agency seeks to provide sufficient 

guidance within the EAR to answer 

questions the agency frequently receives 

from the public as to the application of 

the two license exceptions. These 

clarifications should be particularly 

helpful to exporters who are new to the 

EAR, including exporters of items that 

have recently moved to the EAR from 

the International Traffic in Arms 

Regulations (ITAR) as a result of the 

United States Munitions List to the 

Commerce Control List review process. 

(A) Clarifications for License Exception 

GOV 

This final rule revises License 

Exception GOV, § 740.11, to make three 

clarifications. Specifically, this final 

rule revises paragraph (b)(2)(ii); adds a 

new note to paragraph (b)(2)(iii)(C); and 

adds a new note to paragraph (c)(1). 

These clarifications do not change the 

applicability or any other requirements 

of License Exception GOV and are 

limited to providing guidance on how 

BIS interprets these paragraphs of 

License Exception GOV in response to 

questions from the public. 

Paragraph (b)(2)(ii). The final rule 

revises paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of License 

Exception GOV to add two sentences to 

clarify the applicability of the term 

‘contractor support personnel,’ which is 

defined in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of License 

Exception GOV. BIS has received 

questions regarding the locations where 

‘contractor support personnel’ must 

work and the level of U.S. Government 

supervision needed for personnel to be 

considered ‘contractor support 

personnel.’ The first sentence that this 

final rule adds to paragraph (b)(2)(ii) 

clarifies that ‘contractor support 

personnel’ is limited to those 

individuals who are providing such 

support within a U.S. Government 

owned or operated facility or under the 

direct supervision of a U.S. government 

employee. This final rule adds a 

parenthetical phrase to clarify that a 

U.S. government employee is an 

individual directly employed by the 

U.S. Government. 

As an example of persons directly 

employed who would meet the 

‘contractor support personnel’ 

definition, BIS provides the following: 

A U.S. Government agency plans to 

conduct a study of soy bean cultivation 

in Malaysia and the U.S. Government 

agency team will include three 

‘contractor support personnel’ providing 

scientific support to the U.S. 

Government agency’s study. These three 

‘contractor support personnel’ will work 

at the U.S. Embassy in Malaysia to 

process and analyze agricultural field 

data being gathered by U.S. Government 

personnel as part of a study. These 

individuals meet the definition of 

contractor support personnel in 

paragraph (b)(2)(ii) because they will be 

working within a U.S. Governmentowned and operated facility (a U.S 

embassy) and providing a form of 

support (scientific support) that is 

identified in the term’s definition. 

For an example of persons not 

directly employed who would be 

outside the scope of the ‘contractor 

support personnel’ definition, BIS 

provides the following: A U.S. 

Government agency is evaluating the 

possibility of providing a grant to a 

company in Kenya that seeks financing 

for building three windmills. To 

evaluate the feasibility of providing a 

grant, this U.S. Government agency has 

entered into a contract with a U.S. 

company that provides feasibility 

analysis for windmill locations. To 

conduct the feasibility analysis study,
