Comments that provide the factual basis
supporting the views and suggestions
presented are particularly helpful in
developing reasoned regulatory
decisions on the proposal. Comments
are specifically invited on the overall
regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related
aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both
docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above.
Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this notice must submit with those
comments a self-addressed, stamped
postcard on which the following
statement is made: ‘‘Comments to
Docket No. FAA–2007–27262/Airspace
Docket No. 07–ASO–1.’’ The postcard
will be date/time stamped and returned
to the commenter. All communications
received before the specified closing
date for comments will be considered
before taking action on the proposed
rule. The proposal contained in this
notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report
summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerned

Order 7400.9P, dated September 16,
2006, and effective September 16, 2006,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
would be published subsequently in the
Order.
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current. 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 will
only affect 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.

amendments to the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) to
further the national security interests of

Background
Request for Comment
The Department of Commerce seeks to
address the threat to national security
caused by the illicit transshipment,
reexport, and diversion in international
trade of items subject to the EAR.
Through government-to-government and
government-to-industry outreach, the
Department of Commerce encourages
transshipment countries to strengthen
their international export control
practices.
This effort includes both governmentto-government cooperation and U.S.
Government cooperation and
information-sharing with the private
sector. To strengthen government-togovernment cooperation, the
Department of Commerce has worked
with its counterpart agencies to: (1)
Develop or strengthen export control
regimes, (2) promote information and
data exchanges, and (3) strengthen
cooperation and facilitate enforcement.
Specific initiatives to develop export
control capabilities have included
technical assistance in the areas of legal
framework and licensing procedures
and practices, enforcement training, and
industry outreach. To strengthen
cooperation and facilitate enforcement,
the Department of Commerce has posted
´
export control attaches to serve as
liaisons in many of these areas, and has
sought agreements and other
government-to-government cooperation
in certain destinations.
The Department of Commerce has
also concentrated on outreach to key
companies involved in forwarding,
processing, and transporting goods
through transshipment points, i.e.,
freight forwarders, integrators, air cargo
carriers, and shipping lines. The
Department of Commerce has sought to
enhance cooperation with these private
sector entities via informal meetings, the
establishment of communication
channels to facilitate information
sharing, the establishment and sharing
of ‘‘best practices,’’ and by working with
the foreign trade zone board to address
transshipment issues.
The diversion of items subject to the
EAR could augment the capabilities of
terrorists and state sponsors of
terrorism, and significantly undermine
international counterproliferation
efforts. The illegal diversion of such
items could also compromise the
effectiveness of U.S. export control
laws. In recent years, diversions have
contributed to a number of major cases
involving the violation of U.S. export
control laws for dual-use goods.
Consideration of designating Country
Group C to identify ‘‘Destinations of
Diversion Concern’’ is part of the
Department of Commerce’s effort to
strengthen the trade compliance and
export control systems of countries that
are transshipment hubs. By working to
strengthen those systems, the
Department of Commerce seeks to
enhance international security and
confidence in international trade flows.
Country Group C would identify those
countries of diversion concern, based on
certain criteria including, but not
limited to:
• Transit and transshipment volume;
• Inadequate export/reexport
controls;
• Demonstrated inability to control
diversion activities in this destination;
• Government not directly involved
in diversion activities; and
• Government unwilling or unable to
cooperate with the U.S. in interdiction
efforts.
As a result of being placed into
Country Group C, the licensing policy
would likely change for items going to
any country designated as a
‘‘Destination of Diversion Concern.’’
Such changes could include changes in
License Exception eligibility (Part 740 of
the EAR), License Requirements and
Licensing Policy (Part 742 of the EAR),
and End-User and End-Use Based
Controls (Part 744 of the EAR). The
result of these changes could mean that
more license applications might be
required; more stringent license review
policies might be implemented, which
could result in less approvals or more
conditions on licenses; authorizations
may be delayed because of increased
end-user checks; or authorizations may
decrease because of diversion risks for
such countries.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to Part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E5 airspace at
Middlesboro, KY. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth

The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
