SUMMARY:
History
On October 31, 2013, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to amend controlled airspace at KailuaKona, HI (78 FR 65241). Interested
parties were invited to participate in
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:25 Feb 12, 2014
Jkt 232001
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
Subsequent to publication, the FAA
found that in the proposal section of the
NPRM, the south extension miles were
inverted. It should read ‘‘. . . is
decreased from 14.5 miles to 8.5 miles
south of the airport . . .’’ The Class E
regulatory text is correctly entered.
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in
paragraphs 5000, 6004 and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9X
dated August 7, 2013, and effective
September 15, 2013, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and 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
amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface,
at Kona International Airport at
Keahole, Kailua-Kona, HI, to
accommodate the RNAV (GPS) and ILS
or LOC standard instrument approach
procedures at the airport. The segment
of controlled airspace extending from
the 7.4-mile radius of the airport is
decreased from 14.5 miles to 8.5 miles
south of the airport. The geographic
coordinates of the airport for the
respective Class D and Class E airspace
are updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database. The airport
formerly called Keahole Airport, KailuaKona, HI, is corrected to Kona
International Airport at Keahole, KailuaKona, HI. This action is necessary for
the safety and management of IFR
operations.
The FAA has determined 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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified 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. The FAA’s
authority to issue rules regarding
aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106
discusses 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
controlled airspace at Kona
International Airport at Keahole, KailuaKona, HI.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 311a. 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.

regulations by making substantive and
administrative changes. These revisions
are intended to supersede OPIC’s
current FOIA regulations, located at this
part. The final rule incorporates the
FOIA revisions contained in the
Openness Promotes Effectiveness in our
National Government Act of 2007
(‘‘OPEN Government Act’’), makes
administrative changes to reflect OPIC’s
cost, and organizes the regulations to
more closely match those of other
agencies for ease of reference. The rule
also reflects the disclosure principles
established by President Barack Obama
and Attorney General Eric Holder in
their FOIA Policy Memoranda issued on
January 12, 2009 and March 19, 2009,
respectively.

Nichole Cadiente, Administrative
Counsel, (202) 336–8400, or foia@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
revision of Part 706 incorporates
changes to the language and structure of
the regulations and adds new provisions
to implement the OPEN Government
Act. OPIC is already complying with
these changes and this final rule serves
as OPIC’s formal codification of the
applicable law and its practice.
The most significant change in this
final rule is the treatment of business
submitters. This section will define
confidential commercial information
more concisely and provide a default
expiration date for confidentiality
labels. This will enable OPIC to more
efficiently process requests for
commercial information, which
comprise the majority of OPIC’s FOIA
requests. Among other substantive
changes: the search date is now the
responsive record cutoff date, the
information OPIC posts online has been
clarified, there is more detail on how to
request records about an individual, and
illustrative examples have been added.
OPIC published a proposed rule on
December 4, 2013 at 78 FR 72843 and
invited interested parties to submit
comments. OPIC received two sets of
comments and a forwarded set of best
practices and has made several changes
to its rule based on these suggestions.
OPIC adopted the following
suggestions. First, OPIC made some
editorial changes. An erroneous
reference in § 706.11(e) was changed
from Section 706.10(c) to § 706.24. Also
the term ‘‘non-public records’’ was
changed to ‘‘records’’ as it was
suggested that requesters might consider
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
8607
‘‘non-public records’’ to be records
excluded from the FOIA.
Second, OPIC added a subsection for
‘‘all other requesters’’ to the listing of
requester categories in Section 706.21 to
make the listing comprehensive.
Third, OPIC added definitions of
‘‘requester categories’’ and ‘‘fee
waivers’’ to §§ 706.21 and 706.24,
respectively. These two fee relevant
determinations are often confused by
requesters and OPIC agrees that the
public would benefit from explicit
definitions.
Fourth, OPIC added the following
sentence to the end of § 706.22(f): ‘‘OPIC
will not aggregate multiple requests that
involve multiple matters.’’ This
language is already included in the
other subsection dealing with request
aggregation, § 706.30(e).
Fifth, OPIC has modified the example
in § 706.30(f)(3) to remove the word
‘‘professional.’’ The sentence now reads:
‘‘For example, under paragraph (e)(1)(ii)
of this section, a requester who is not a
full-time member of the news media
must establish that he or she is a person
whose primary activity or occupation is
information dissemination.’’ OPIC did
so to address a concern that requesters
might interpret the expedited processing
provision relating to ‘‘a person primarily
engaged in information dissemination’’
as applying only to persons who are
paid for disseminating information. The
new wording makes it clearer that the
standard can be met regardless of
whether the requester is paid.
Sixth, OPIC has reduced its per page
charge for photocopies from $0.15 to
$0.10.
OPIC considered, but did not adopt
the following suggestions. First, OPIC
did not adopt a suggestion to add a
definitions section. OPIC’s 2000 FOIA
regulations contained a definitions
section which was intentionally
removed. Most definitions in the
regulations are specific to a topic,
therefore placing the definitions near
the terms as they are used is more
efficient for the reader.
Second, OPIC did not add suggested
language specifying that the Privacy Act
deals with first-party requests and the
FOIA deals with third party requests.
The suggested language does not reflect
OPIC’s practice. OPIC automatically
processes first party requests under both
the Privacy Act and the FOIA,
regardless of which statute it is
submitted under, and informs the
requester of that dual processing in the
acknowledgement letter.
Third, in § 706.11(a)(3), OPIC did not
change the term, ‘‘Where a request for
records pertains to a third party’’ to,
‘‘Where a request for records pertains to

The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface, at Kona International Airport at Keahole, Kailua-
Kona, HI, to accommodate the RNAV (GPS) and ILS or LOC standard
