SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: erowe on PROD1PC63 with RULES History On October 22, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at Branson, MO (73 FR 62940, Docket No. FAA– 2008–0873). Interested parties were VerDate Nov<24>2008 13:39 Jan 07, 2009 Jkt 217001 invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. With the exception of editorial changes, and the changes described above, this rule is the same as that proposed in the NPRM. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6002 and 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in that Order. This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Branson Airport, Branson, MO. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate a new air traffic control tower and SIAPs for IFR operations at this new airport. 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. Therefore, this regulation: (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. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 scope of that authority as it establishes controlled airspace at Branson Airport, Branson, MO.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: In response to the Government of Burma’s continued repression of the democratic opposition in Burma, and consistent with Executive Order 13047 of May 20, 1997, Executive Order 13310 of July 28, 2003, Executive Order 13448 of October 18, 2007, and the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act (Title IX of Pub. L. 106–387), the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) previously amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) on October 24, 2007 to impose a license requirement for most exports, reexports, or transfers of items subject to the EAR to persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to those Executive Orders. In light of the Government of Burma’s continued repression of the democratic opposition in Burma and unwillingness to respond to the calls of the Burmese people for genuine dialogue that will lead to a democratic transition in Burma, this final rule amends the EAR to extend these existing licensing requirements to persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13464 of April 30, 2008. DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective January 8, 2009. Although there is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are welcome on a continuing basis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In response to the Government of Burma’s repression of the democratic opposition in Burma, the President has issued a series of Executive Orders imposing economic sanctions on the Burmese regime. In 1997, pursuant to Executive Order 13047 (May 20, 1997) and other relevant authorities, the U.S. imposed a ban on new investments in Burma by U.S. persons. In 2003, pursuant to Executive Order 13310 (July 28, 2003) and other relevant authorities, the U.S. imposed additional economic sanctions, including a ban on all imports from Burma, a ban on the export of financial services by U.S. persons to Burma, and the freezing of assets of designated Burmese persons listed in the Annex or subsequently designated according to the criteria of the Executive Order. The sanctions are primarily administered by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). In 2007, the President further expanded the sanctions by issuing PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Executive Order 13448 (October 18, 2007), which listed certain additional persons in its Annex and set forth additional criteria for blocking the property and interests in property of additional persons. Consistent with Executive Orders 13310 and 13448, and the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act (Title IX of Pub. L. 106–387), BIS issued a final rule, published in the Federal Register on October 24, 2007 (72 FR 60248, October 24, 2007), amending the EAR to impose a license requirement for exports, reexports or transfers of items subject to the EAR, except agricultural commodities, medicine, or medical devices classified as EAR99, to persons listed in or designated pursuant to Executive Orders 13310 or 13448. The 2007 BIS rule created section 744.22 of the EAR to set forth this licensing requirement. Further, in part 740 of the EAR (License Exceptions), that rule moved Burma from Computer Tier 1 to Computer Tier 3, restricting access to high-performance computers and certain related technology and software under License Exception APP (Section 740.7). In Supplement No. 1 to part 740 (Country Groups), that rule moved Burma from Country Group B (countries raising few national security concerns) to Country Group D:1 (countries raising national security concerns), which further limits the number of license exceptions available for exports to Burma. Burma remained in Country Group D:3 (countries raising proliferation concerns related to chemical and biological weapons). In this final rule, BIS further amends the EAR to expand the existing licensing requirements in section 744.22 of the EAR to include persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13464 of April 30, 2008 (73 FR 24489, May 2, 2008). The Annex to Executive Order 13464 designates certain persons subject to this prohibition, and provides criteria for additional designations. Additional designations were announced by the Department of the Treasury on July 29, 2008 (73 FR 45270 and 73 FR 45271, both of August 4, 2008). As set forth in section 744.22 of the EAR, exports, reexports or transfers of items subject to the EAR, except agricultural commodities, medicine, or medical devices classified as EAR99, to any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to Executive Orders 13310, 13448 or 13464, require a license under the EAR. The licensing requirements set forth in section 744.22 of the EAR are applicable to all persons whose property E:\FR\FM\08JAR1.SGM 08JAR1

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Branson, MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Branson Airport, 
Branson, MO. Establishment of an air traffic control tower and Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) have made this action necessary 
for the safety of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the 
airport. Also, this action corrects the name to Branson Airport, and 
makes a correction to the geographic coordinates for Branson Airport.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, March 12, 2009. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 22, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at Branson, 
MO (73 FR 62940, Docket No. FAA-2008-0873). Interested parties were 
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written 
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. With 
the exception of editorial changes, and the changes described above, 
this rule is the same as that proposed in the NPRM. Class E airspace 
designations are published in paragraphs 6002 and 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Branson Airport, Branson, 
MO. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate a new air traffic 
control tower and SIAPs for IFR operations at this new airport.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 establishes controlled airspace at Branson Airport, Branson, MO.
