Cancellation of standard instrument approach procedures at these airports prompted the FAA to conduct a review of the airspace. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at these airports. VerDate Sep<11>2014 32451 17:00 Jul 13, 2017 Jkt 241001 ASW TX D 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, does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Sherman/Denison, North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field, TX (Lat. 33°42′51″ N., long. 96°40′25″ W.) That airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 3,300 feet MSL within a 4.7-mile radius of North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field. This Class D airspace area is effective during the specific dates and times established in advance by a Notice to Airmen. The effective date and time will thereafter be continuously published in the Chart Supplement. 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 5–6.5.a. 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.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: This document amends the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect an extension of import restrictions on Pre-Classical and Classical archaeological objects, and Byzantine and post-Byzantine ecclesiastical and ritual ethnological materials from Cyprus. The restrictions, which were originally imposed by Treasury Decision 02–37, and last extended by CBP Dec. 12–13, are due to expire on July 16, 2017.

Scopa, Branch Chief, Partner Government Agency Branch, Trade Policy and Programs, Office of Trade, (202) 863–6554, William.R.Scopa@ cbp.dhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Pursuant to the provisions of the 1970 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention, codified into U.S. law as the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act (hereinafter, ‘‘the Cultural Property Implementation Act’’ or ‘‘the Act’’) (Pub. L. 97–446, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.), the United States entered into a bilateral agreement with the Republic of Cyprus on July 16, 2002, to impose import restrictions on certain archaeological materials representing the Pre-Classical and Classical periods ranging in date from approximately the 8th Millennium B.C. to approximately 330 A.D. of Cyprus (‘‘the 2002 Agreement’’). On July 19, 2002, the former United States Customs Service (U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s predecessor agency) published Treasury Decision (T.D.) 02–37 in the Federal Register (67 FR 47447), which amended 19 CFR 12.104g(a) to reflect the imposition of these restrictions and included a list designating the types of articles covered by the restrictions. These restrictions were to be effective through July 16, 2007. On August 17, 2006, the Republic of Cyprus and the United States amended PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 the 2002 Agreement (covering PreClassical and Classical archeological materials) to include a list of Byzantine ecclesiastical and ritual ethnological materials dating from approximately the 4th century A.D. through approximately the 15th century A.D. that had been (and, at that time, were still) protected pursuant to an emergency action which was published in the Federal Register (64 FR 17529) on April 12, 1999. The amendment of the 2002 Agreement to cover both the archaeological materials and the ethnological materials was reflected in CBP Dec. 06–22, which was published in the Federal Register (71 FR 51724) on August 31, 2006. CBP Dec. 06–22 contains the list of Byzantine ecclesiastical and ritual ethnological materials from Cyprus previously protected pursuant to the emergency action and announced that import restrictions, as of August 31, 2006, were imposed on this cultural property pursuant to the amended Agreement (19 U.S.C. 2603(c)(4)). Thus, as of that date, the import restrictions covering materials described in CBP Dec. 06–22 were set to be effective through July 16, 2007. On July 13, 2007, CBP published CBP Dec. 07–52 in the Federal Register (72 FR 38470) which further extended the import restrictions to July 16, 2012. The Designated List was published with this decision. On July 13, 2012, CBP published CBP Dec. 12–13 in the Federal Register (77 FR 41266), effective on July 16, 2012, amending CBP regulations to reflect the extension of import restrictions and also to cover Post-Byzantine ecclesiastical and ritual ethnological materials ranging from approximately 1500 A.D. to approximately 1850 A.D. of Cyprus. The amended Designated List was published with the decision in CBP Dec. 12–13, which includes the unrevised list of covered archaeological objects, as well as Byzantine and post-Byzantine ecclesiastical and ritual ethnological materials. The import restrictions are due to expire on July 16, 2017. On August 1, 2012, CBP published a correcting amendment to CBP Dec. 12– 13 in the Federal Register (77 FR 45479) as the amended Designated List and the regulatory text in that document contained language which was inadvertently not consistent with the rest of the document as to the historical period that the import restrictions cover for ecclesiastical and ritual ethnological materials from Cyprus. Import restrictions listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 19 CFR 12.104g(a) are effective for no more than five years beginning on the date on which the agreement enters into force E:\FR\FM\14JYR1.SGM 14JYR1

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 amends Class D airspace at North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin 
Field, Sherman, TX; Class E airspace designated as a surface area at 
Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport, Temple, TX; Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at North 
Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field and Draughon-Miller Central Texas 
Regional Airport; and establishes Class E airspace designated as an 
extension at Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport, in support 
IFR operations at these airports.

History

    On April 20, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register (82 FR 
18596) Docket No. FAA-2016-9544, a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
to amend Class D airspace at North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field, 
Sherman, TX; amend Class E airspace designated as a surface area at 
Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport, Temple, TX; amend Class 
E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at North 
Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field and Draughon-Miller Central Texas 
Regional Airport; and establish Class E airspace designated as an 
extension at Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport. Interested 
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by 
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments 
were received.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 modifies:
    Class D airspace within a 4.7-mile radius (reduced from a 5.0-mile 
radius) at North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field (formerly Grayson 
County Airport), Sherman/Denison, TX, and updates the name of the 
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Class E airspace designated as a surface area within a 4.2-mile 
radius (increased from a 4.1-mile radius) at Draughon-Miller Central 
Texas Regional Airport (formerly Draughon-Miller Municipal Airport), 
Temple, TX, eliminating the extension southeast of the airport, and 
updates the name and geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide 
with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface:
    Within a 7.2-mile radius (increased from a 6.9-mile radius) of 
North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field (formerly Grayson County 
Airport), Sherman/Denison, TX, and updates the name and geographic 
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database;
    Within a 6.7-mile radius of Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional 
Airport (formerly Draughon-Miller Municipal Airport), Temple, TX, 
eliminates the extensions north and southeast of the airport, amends 
the extension northwest of the airport from the 6.7-mile radius to 14.4 
miles (reduced from 19.5 miles), adds an extension south of the airport 
from the 6.7-mile radius to 10.1 miles, adds an extension southwest of 
the airport from the 6.7-mile radius to 9.7 miles, and updates the name 
and geographic coordinates of the airport and the name of the Draughon-
Miller Central Texas Regional Localizer (formerly Draughon-Miller 
Localizer) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    And establishes Class E airspace designated as an extension to 
Class E surface airspace within a 4.2-mile radius of Draughon-Miller 
Central Texas Regional Airport, Temple, TX, with an extension southeast 
7.7 miles.
    Cancellation of standard instrument approach procedures at these 
airports prompted the FAA to conduct a review of the airspace. 
Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of 
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at these

    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, 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 5-6.5.a. 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.
