Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by Reference This document would amend FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within an 6-mile radius of Lakota Municipal Airport, Lakota, ND, to accommodate new standard instrument approach procedures. Controlled airspace is needed for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. Class E airspace designations are published in Section 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 designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:36 Jun 07, 2016 Jkt 238001 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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. (Lat. 48°01′44″ N., long. 098°19′33″ W.) That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6-mile radius of Lakota Municipal Airport. Environmental Review This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Explanation of Provisions

    Temporary regulations in the Rules and Regulations section of this 
issue of the Federal Register amend the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR 
part 1) relating to section 337(d). The temporary regulations impose 
corporate level tax on certain transactions in which property of a C 
corporation becomes the property of a REIT. The text of those 
regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. The 
preamble to the temporary regulations explains the amendments.
    The proposed regulations also include a modification to the 
definition of converted property that is not addressed in the temporary 
regulations. This modification treats as converted property any 
property the basis of which is determined, directly or indirectly, in 
whole or in part, by reference to the basis of property owned by a C 
corporation that becomes the property of a RIC or a REIT. The Treasury 
Department and the IRS believe that such property presents similar 
concerns with regard to the purposes of General Utilities repeal as 
other property of a C corporation that becomes the property of a RIC or 
REIT.

Special Analyses

    Certain IRS regulations, including this one, are exempt from the 
requirements of Executive Order 12866, as supplemented and reaffirmed 
by Executive Order 13653. Therefore, a regulatory impact assessment is 
not required. Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 
chapter 6), it is hereby certified that these proposed regulations 
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. This certification is based on the fact that these 
proposed regulations would primarily affect large corporations with a 
substantial number of shareholders. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility 
analysis is not required. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, this 
regulation has been submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the 
Small Business Administration for comment on its impact on small 
business.

Comments and Requests for Public Hearing

    Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, 
consideration will be given to any comments that are submitted timely 
to the IRS as prescribed in this preamble under the ADDRESSES heading. 
The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on all aspects of 
the proposed regulations. In particular, comments are requested 
regarding the scope of the terms predecessors and successors. In 
addition, although related section 355 distributions occurring before 
or after conversion transactions involving RICs do not present the same 
degree of concern regarding the purposes of General Utilities repeal, 
comments are requested as to whether the proposed regulations regarding 
related section 355 distributions should, like the rules of Sec.  
1.337(d)-7 generally, apply to both conversion transactions involving 
RICs and conversion transactions involving REITs. All comments will be 
available at www.regulations.gov or upon request. A public hearing will 
be scheduled if requested in writing by any person that timely submits 
written comments. If a public hearing is scheduled, notice of the date, 
time, and place of the public hearing will be published in the Federal 
Register.

Drafting Information

    The principal author of these regulations is Austin M. Diamond-
Jones of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Corporate). Other 
personnel from the Treasury Department and the IRS participated in 
their development.
