Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 1, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
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 would
amend Class E airspace at Taos Regional
Airport, Taos, NM.
History
On March 7, 2016, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Taos
Regional Airport, Taos, NM (81 FR
11695). Interested parties were invited
to participate in this rulemaking effort
by submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. One comment was
received from Mr. Robert Pigott,
Aeronautical Information Services,
requesting clarification of the
overlapping 1,200 foot airspace to the
west of Taos Regional Airport. This
airspace existed prior to the proposed
amendment and was not changed by the
amendment. The 1,200 foot airspace
exists to protect the departures and
climb out requirements to the west due
to high terrain east of the airport and
allows departing aircraft to reach
controlled airspace, and was developed
in accordance with FAA Joint Order
7400.2K, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters. The FAA found no
reason to change the 1,200 foot airspace
at this time.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015,
and effective September 15, 2015, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule
This amendment to Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
modifies Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Taos Regional Airport, Taos, NM.
After review, the FAA found that with
the decommissioning of NDBs, removal
of NDB approaches, and
implementation of area navigation
(RNAV) instrument approaches the
extension to the northwest from the 6.5mile radius to 9.4 miles of the Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface was no longer
requires in accordance with airspace
requirements specified in FAA Joint
Order 7400.2K.
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.

dmf.ntis.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This final rule is promulgated under
Section 203 of the Bipartisan Budget Act
of 2013, Public Law 113–67 (Act),
passed into law on December 26, 2013.
The Act prohibits the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary) from disclosing
DMF information during the threecalendar-year period following an
individual’s death (referred to as the
‘‘Limited Access DMF,’’ or ‘‘LADMF’’),
unless the person requesting the
information has been certified to access
that information pursuant to certain
criteria in a program that the Secretary
establishes. The Act further requires the
Secretary to establish a fee-based
program to certify Persons for access to
LADMF. In addition, it provides for
penalties for Persons who receive or
distribute LADMF without being
certified or otherwise satisfying the
requirements of the Act. The Secretary
has delegated the authority to carry out
Section 203 to the Director of NTIS.
The Act mandated that no person
could receive LADMF without
certification after March 26, 2014 (i.e.,
90 days from enactment of the Act).
NTIS acted promptly to ensure that a
suitable certification program was in
place by that date, and to avoid
interruption of access by legitimate
users of the data. On March 3, 2014,
NTIS published a Request for
Information (RFI) and Advance Notice
of Public Meeting on the Certification
Program for Access to the Death Master
File (79 FR 11735). NTIS held the public
meeting, with webcast, on March 4,
2014. Written comments received in
response to the RFI, and a transcription
of oral comments submitted at the
public meeting, may be viewed at
https://dmf.nist.gov.
On March 26, 2014, NTIS published
an interim final rule, ‘‘Temporary
Certification Program for Access to the
Death Master File’’ (interim final rule)
(79 FR 16668). That rule codified an
interim approach to implementing the
Act’s provisions pertaining to the
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
certification program and the penalties
for violating the Act, and set out an
interim fee schedule for the program.
NTIS published the interim final rule in
order to provide a mechanism for
Persons to access LADMF immediately
on the effective date prescribed in the
Act. Written comments received in
response to the Interim Final Rule may
be viewed at https://
www.regulations.gov.
The preambles for both the RFI and
the interim final rule set out the specific
provisions of the Act, and also noted
that several Members of Congress
described their understanding of the
purpose and meaning of Section 203
during Congressional debate on the Joint
Resolution which became the Act.
Citations to those Member statements
were provided in the RFI, which also
provided background on the component
of the DMF, which originates from the
Social Security Administration, covered
by Section 203. The interim final rule
was established to provide immediate
access to the LADMF to those users who
demonstrated a legitimate fraud
prevention interest, or a legitimate
business purpose for the information,
and to otherwise delay the release of the
LADMF to all other users, thereby
reducing opportunities for identity theft
and restricting information sources used
to file fraudulent tax returns.
In addition, in December, 2014, NTIS
issued an initial public draft of ‘‘Limited
Access Death Master File (Limited
Access DMF) Certification Program
Publication 100,’’ (Publication 100),
available at https://dmf.ntis.gov.
Publication 100 is the NTIS security
guideline document for persons
certified under this final rule.
Publication 100 sets forth suggested
security controls, standards and
protocols for the protection of LADMF
in the possession of Certified Persons.
On December 30, 2014, NTIS
published the proposed rule (79 FR
78314). The proposed rule introduced
changes, clarifications and additions to
the interim final rule, based in part
upon comments received. For example,
the proposed rule introduced a ‘‘safe
harbor’’ provision, § 1110.103, which
would exempt a Certified Person from
penalty for disclosure of LADMF to
another Certified Person. The proposed
rule set forth a provision for review,
assessment, audit and attestation of a
Person’s information and information
security controls by independent, third
party conformity assessment bodies.
Section 1110.201 of the proposed rule
would permit Certified Persons to
provide the attestation of an
‘‘Accredited Certification Body’’ (as
defined in § 1110.2) concerning the

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.
