Extension of Port Limits of Dayton,
OH, and Termination of the User-Fee
Status of Airborne Airpark in
Wilmington, OH
Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice of proposed
rulemaking proposes to amend
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) regulations pertaining to the
Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection’s (CBP’s) field organization
by extending the geographic limits of
the port of Dayton, Ohio, to include the
Airborne Airpark in Wilmington, Ohio.
The proposed extension of the port
limits of Dayton, Ohio, is due to the
closing of express consignment
operations at Dayton International
Airport, and the expansion of express
consignment operations at Airborne
Airpark, located in Wilmington, Ohio.
The user-fee status of Airborne Airpark
would be terminated. The proposed
change is part of CBP’s continuing
program to more efficiently utilize its
personnel, facilities, and resources, and
to provide better service to carriers,
importers, and the general public.

Public Participation
Interested persons are invited to
participate in this rulemaking by
submitting written data, views, or
arguments on all aspects of the
proposed rule. CBP also invites
comments that relate to the economic,
environmental, or federalism effects that
might result from this proposed rule.
Comments that will provide the most
assistance to CBP in developing these
procedures will reference a specific
portion of the proposed rule, explain the
reason for any recommended change,
and include data, information, or
authority that support such
recommended change.
Background
CBP ports of entry are places
(seaports, airports, or land border ports)
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
designated by the Secretary of
Homeland Security where CBP officers
or employees are assigned to accept
entries of merchandise, clear passengers
where appropriate, collect duties, and
enforce the various provisions of
customs and related laws. To facilitate
the various duties of CBP, the
organizational structure of CBP must,
from time to time, be amended to
respond to changing demands of the
importing/exporting community.
There have been two express
consignment operations in the Dayton
area: Menlo Worldwide Forwarding/
Emery at Dayton International Airport
(DAY) and Airborne Express at Airborne
Airpark (ILN) in Wilmington, Ohio. The
Menlo Worldwide Forwarding/Emery
operation is within the Port of Dayton
at the north edge of the current port
boundaries, and Airborne Airpark is
southeast of the current boundaries in
Wilmington, Ohio. UPS purchased
Menlo Worldwide Forwarding, shut
down the Emery operation at Dayton
International Airport, and has moved
the work to their hub located in
Louisville, Kentucky. DHL Express
(USA) has purchased Airborne Express
and has shut down the DHL operations
in Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky
Airport (CVG) in Covington, Kentucky.
DHL Express (USA) is opening a new,
much larger combined operation at
Airborne Airpark. These changes in
operations will result in an increase in
the demand for CBP services at the
Airborne Airpark.
In response to these changes, CBP is
proposing to amend 19 CFR 101.3(b)(1)
by extending the port limits of the Port
of Dayton to include the Airborne
Airpark, which is currently listed as
‘‘Wilmington Airport’’ in the list of userfee airports at 19 CFR 122.15(b) (note
that the regulations currently refer to the
airport as ‘‘Wilmington Airport’’ rather
than the correct ‘‘Airborne Airpark’’). If
the proposed port limits are adopted,
CBP would relocate the CBP Dayton
Port office from its current location at
the Dayton International Airport to a
new location near the new DHL
operation at Airborne Airpark. CBP
would also establish an adequately
sized secure storage facility in efficient
proximity to Airborne Airpark. The
proposed changes are intended to allow
for continued efficient operation and
supervision of CBP services at the DHL
facility.
Airborne Airpark is currently a user
fee airport. CBP services at a user fee
airport are not paid for out of
appropriations from the general treasury
of the United States. Instead, these
services are provided on a fully
reimbursable basis to be paid for by the
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
airport on behalf of the recipients of the
services. The airport pays for CBP
services and then seeks reimbursement
from the actual users of those services.
If this proposal is adopted, the
Commissioner of CBP would terminate
the user fee status of Airborne Airpark
and remove the listing ‘‘Wilmington
Airport’’ from the user fee list in 19 CFR
122.15(b), because the facility would be
included in the boundaries of the Port
of Dayton. As a result of the termination
of the user fee status of Airborne
Airpark, the system of reimbursable fees
for Airborne Airpark would be
discontinued. This proposed change of
status for Airborne Airpark from a user
fee airport to inclusion within the
boundaries of a port of entry would
subject the airport to the passenger
processing fee provided for at 19 U.S.C.
58c(a)(5)(B). This fee is collected by CBP
and paid into the United States treasury.
CBP services would be paid for out of
appropriations from the general
treasury.
Current Port Limits of Dayton, Ohio
The current port limits of Dayton,
Ohio, as described in Treasury Decision
(T.D.) 76–77 of March 3, 1976, include
the territory within the city limits of
Dayton, Ohio, as well as the territory
within the township limits of the
adjacent townships of Butler, Harrison,
Wayne, and Mad River, Ohio.
Proposed Port Limits of Dayton, Ohio
The proposed port limits for Dayton,
as well as being expanded to include the
Airborne Airpark, substitute geographic
information that is readily identifiable
by the public in lieu of sometimes
difficult to locate township boundaries.
The geographic limits of the Port of
Dayton are proposed to be as follows:
Beginning at the point where Federal
Interstate Highway 75 crosses the
Montgomery County—Miami County
line; then west along the Montgomery
County line to the point where
Frederick Pike intersects the
Montgomery County line; then south
and east on Frederick Pike to the
intersection with Dixie Drive; then
south to Keowee Street, then south to
Federal Interstate Highway 75 to the
point where I–75 intersects the
Montgomery County—Warren County
line; then east along the county line
(which becomes the Greene County—
Warren County line) to the Clinton
County line; then south along the
Clinton County line to the intersection
with Ohio State Route 350; then east on
Route 350 to the intersection with Ohio
State Route 73; then north and west on
Route 73 to the intersection with U.S.
Route 22; then west along Route 22 to

SECURITY
Proposed Amendment to the
Regulations
AGENCY:
If the proposed port limits are
adopted, the list of CBP ports of entry
at 19 CFR 101.3(b)(1) will be amended
to reflect the new boundaries of the
Dayton, Ohio, port of entry and
‘‘Wilmington Airport’’ will be deleted
from the list of user-fee airports at 19
CFR 122.15(b).
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to
establish a temporary regulated
navigation area (RNA) on the waters of
San Carlos Bay, Florida. The regulated
navigation area (RNA) is needed to
minimize the risk of potential bridge
allisions by vessels utilizing the main
channel under span ‘‘A’’ (bascule
portion) of the Sanibel Island Causeway
Bridge and enhance the safety of vessels
transiting the area and vehicles crossing
over the bridge. This proposed rule
would apply vessel traffic regulations to
vessels in the RNA.
DATES: Comments and related material
must reach the Coast Guard on or before
December 21, 2006.
ADDRESSES: You may mail comments
and related material to Coast Guard
Sector St. Petersburg, Prevention
Department, 155 Columbia Drive,
Tampa, Florida 33606–3598. The
Waterways Management Division
maintains the public docket for this
rulemaking. Comments and material
received from the public, as well as
documents indicated in this preamble as
being available in the docket, will
become part of this docket and will be
available for inspection or copying at
Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg
between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays.

Guard Sector St. Petersburg, (813) 228–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This change is proposed under the
authority of 5 U.S.C. 301 and 19 U.S.C.
2, 66 and 1624.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act and
Executive Order 12866
With DHS approval, CBP establishes,
expands and consolidates CBP ports of
entry throughout the United States to
accommodate the volume of CBP-related
activity in various parts of the country.
This proposed rule is not a significant
regulatory action within the meaning of
Executive Order 12866. This proposed
rule also will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities as it merely
expands the limits of an existing port of
entry. Accordingly, it is certified that
this document is not subject to the
additional requirements of the
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

Signing Authority
The signing authority for this
document falls under 19 CFR 0.2(a)
because this port extension is not within
the bounds of those regulations for
which the Secretary of the Treasury has
retained sole authority. Accordingly, the

signed by the Secretary of Homeland
Security (or his delegate).

Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
On November 18, 2003, the Lee
County Board of Commissioners issued
an emergency declaration that
conditions of the Sanibel Island
Causeway Bridge posed an immediate
threat to the safety of the traveling
public. Immediate initial action was
required to minimize the risk of
potential bridge allisions of vessels
utilizing the main channel under span
‘‘A’’ (bascule portion) and enhance the
safety of vessels transiting the area and
vehicles crossing over the bridge. The
Coast Guard established an RNA (68 FR
68518, December 9, 2003) in the vicinity
of the bridge from November 29, 2003,
through November 28, 2004.
On November 2, 2004, Sanibel County
engineers reevaluated the Sanibel Island
Bridge and determined that the bridge
continued to pose a threat to the safety
of the traveling public. The RNA was
subsequently extended from November
28, 2004, to November 28, 2005 (69 FR
70374, December 6, 2004). In January
2006, the RNA was again made
effective, this time until 8 a.m., January
7, 2007 (71 FR 11507, March 8, 2006).
Repairs to the bridge are still on-going,
and could take several years to
complete. Therefore, this proposed rule
would maintain a regulated navigation
area in place from January 2007 to
January 2008.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
The proposed regulated navigation
area would encompass the main
channel under the ‘‘A’’ span (bascule
portion) of the Sanibel Island Causeway
Bridge out to 100 feet on either side of
the bridge inclusive of the main
shipping channel. All vessels would be
required to transit the area at no-wake
speed. However, nothing in this
proposed rule negates the requirement
to operate at a safe speed as provided in
the Navigation Rules and Regulations. A

SUMMARY: This notice of proposed rulemaking proposes to amend
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations pertaining to the
Bureau of Customs and Border Protection's (CBP's) field organization by
extending the geographic limits of the port of Dayton, Ohio, to include

Background
CBP ports of entry are places (seaports, airports, or land border
ports) designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security where CBP
officers or employees are assigned to accept entries of merchandise,
clear passengers where appropriate, collect duties, and enforce the
various provisions of customs and related laws. To facilitate the
various duties of CBP, the organizational structure of CBP must, from
time to time, be amended to respond to changing demands of the
importing/exporting community.
There have been two express consignment operations in the Dayton
area: Menlo Worldwide Forwarding/Emery at Dayton International Airport
(DAY) and Airborne Express at Airborne Airpark (ILN) in Wilmington,
Ohio. The Menlo Worldwide Forwarding/Emery operation is within the Port
of Dayton at the north edge of the current port boundaries, and
Airborne Airpark is southeast of the current boundaries in Wilmington,
Ohio. UPS purchased Menlo Worldwide Forwarding, shut down the Emery
operation at Dayton International Airport, and has moved the work to
their hub located in Louisville, Kentucky. DHL Express (USA) has
purchased Airborne Express and has shut down the DHL operations in
Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG) in Covington, Kentucky. DHL
Express (USA) is opening a new, much larger combined operation at
Airborne Airpark. These changes in operations will result in an
increase in the demand for CBP services at the Airborne Airpark.
In response to these changes, CBP is proposing to amend 19 CFR
101.3(b)(1) by extending the port limits of the Port of Dayton to
include the Airborne Airpark, which is currently listed as ``Wilmington
Airport'' in the list of user-fee airports at 19 CFR 122.15(b) (note
that the regulations currently refer to the airport as ``Wilmington
Airport'' rather than the correct ``Airborne Airpark''). If the
proposed port limits are adopted, CBP would relocate the CBP Dayton
Port office from its current location at the Dayton International
Airport to a new location near the new DHL operation at Airborne
Airpark. CBP would also establish an adequately sized secure storage
facility in efficient proximity to Airborne Airpark. The proposed
changes are intended to allow for continued efficient operation and
supervision of CBP services at the DHL facility.
Airborne Airpark is currently a user fee airport. CBP services at a
user fee airport are not paid for out of appropriations from the
general treasury of the United States. Instead, these services are
provided on a fully reimbursable basis to be paid for by the airport on
behalf of the recipients of the services. The airport pays for CBP
services and then seeks reimbursement from the actual users of those
services.
If this proposal is adopted, the Commissioner of CBP would

listing ``Wilmington Airport'' from the user fee list in 19 CFR
122.15(b), because the facility would be included in the boundaries of

status of Airborne Airpark, the system of reimbursable fees for
Airborne Airpark would be discontinued. This proposed change of status
for Airborne Airpark from a user fee airport to inclusion within the
boundaries of a port of entry would subject the airport to the
passenger processing fee provided for at 19 U.S.C. 58c(a)(5)(B). This
fee is collected by CBP and paid into the United States treasury. CBP
services would be paid for out of appropriations from the general
treasury.

Proposed Amendment to the Regulations
If the proposed port limits are adopted, the list of CBP ports of
entry at 19 CFR 101.3(b)(1) will be amended to reflect the new
boundaries of the Dayton, Ohio, port of entry and ``Wilmington
Airport'' will be deleted from the list of user-fee airports at 19 CFR
122.15(b).
Authority
This change is proposed under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301 and 19
U.S.C. 2, 66 and 1624.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order 12866
With DHS approval, CBP establishes, expands and consolidates CBP
ports of entry throughout the United States to accommodate the volume
of CBP-related activity in various parts of the country. This proposed
rule is not a significant regulatory action within the meaning of
Executive Order 12866. This proposed rule also will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
as it merely expands the limits of an existing port of entry.
Accordingly, it is certified that this document is not subject to the
additional requirements of the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
Signing Authority
The signing authority for this document falls under 19 CFR 0.2(a)
because this port extension is not within the bounds of those
regulations for which the Secretary of the Treasury has retained sole
authority. Accordingly, the notice of proposed rulemaking may be signed
by the Secretary of Homeland Security (or his delegate).
Dated: November 14, 2006.
Michael Chertoff,
Secretary.
