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 DraughonMiller 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 airports.

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.

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.

These restrictions are being extended
pursuant to determinations of the
United States Department of State made
under the terms of the Convention on
Cultural Property Implementation Act
in accordance with the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) Convention on
the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing

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

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
5000, 6002, 6004, 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.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends 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

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
airports.
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, 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.
