ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is issuing a final rule for its regulations that govern International Space Station crewmembers, mementos aboard Orion and Space Launch System (SLS) missions, and the authority of the NASA Commander, and removes the Agency’s policy on space flight participation and other policies that were relevant to the Space Shuttle. The revision to this rule is part of NASA’s retrospective plan under Executive Order (EO) 13563 completed in August 2011. NASA’s full plan can be accessed on the Agency’s open Government Web site at https:// www.nasa.gov/open/. DATES: Effective: August 1, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Salvas at (202)–358–2330, craig.b.salvas@nasa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES Background NASA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register at 80 FR 63474 on October 20, 2015, to amend its regulations that govern International Space Station crewmembers, mementos aboard Orion and Space Launch System (SLS) missions, and the authority of the NASA Commander and removes the Agency’s policy on space flight participation and other policies that were relevant to the Space Shuttle. The Space Shuttle Program formally commenced in 1972. After a total of 135 flights, the last of which occurred in July 2011, the Space Shuttle was officially retired after 30 years of operation. During this period, the fleet and its crews carried out a large and varied number of tasks to meet the goals VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:44 Jun 30, 2016 Jkt 238001 and objectives of the Nation’s space program. These included the launch of large interplanetary probes, the performance of scientific experiments under microgravity conditions, the onorbit servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope, and the assembly and resupply of the International Space Station. Functions previously performed by the Space Shuttle will now be done by many different spacecraft currently flying or in development, including vehicles owned by both the Government and the private sector. NASA is currently developing a new human-rated spacecraft, the Orion, and launch system, the Space Launch System (SLS). The Orion and SLS are designed to conduct journeys into deep space. With the end of the Space Shuttle Program, many sections of this rule are no longer relevant and will be deleted. However, sections which have current or future application will be maintained and updated or amended as required. Significant elements of part 1214, in its current form, govern the use and operation of the Space Shuttle and cover a diverse number of areas including requirements for reimbursement for Space Shuttle services to civil U.S. Government and foreign users, the flight of Payload Specialists and Space Flight Participants on Space Shuttle missions, reimbursement terms, and conditions for use of the Spacelab Module. Also covered in part 1214 are the rules for the NASA Astronaut Candidate Recruitment and Selection Program, the Code of Conduct for the International Space Station Crew, and the Authority of the Space Shuttle Commander. The intent of these amendments is to repeal those portions of the regulation that, with the ending of the Space Shuttle Program, are no longer relevant. Sections that remain in effect will be amended because they are outdated. Other sections that are applicable to the Orion and SLS will also be amended. Provisions currently in force relating to approving mementoes for flight and preventing the use of mementoes for economic gain remain relevant and were incorrectly omitted from the proposed rule published on October 20, 2015. These provisions have been reincorporated in the final rule at 14 CFR 1214.601 and 1214.602, except for language relating to dimensions and areas specific to the Space Shuttle which have not been retained. Discussion and Analysis There were two public comments received in response to the proposed rule. Comments were supportive in nature and do not warrant any changes in the rule’s language. PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Statutory Authority Section 1214 is established under the National Aeronautics and Space Act (Space Act) (51 U.S.C. 20101, et seq.). Regulatory Analysis Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulation Review Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. This rule has been designated as ‘‘not significant’’ under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires an agency to prepare an initial regulatory flexibility analysis to be published at the time the rule is published. This requirement does not apply if the agency ‘‘certifies that the rule will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities’’ (5 U.S.C. 603). This rule updates these sections of the CFR to align with Federal guidelines and does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act This final rule does not contain any information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Review Under Executive Order of 13132 Executive Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism,’’ 64 FR 43255 (August 4, 1999) requires regulations be reviewed for Federalism effects on the institutional interest of states and local governments, and if the effects are sufficiently substantial, preparation of the Federal assessment is required to assist senior policy makers. The amendments will not have any substantial direct effects on state and local governments within the meaning of the Executive Order. Therefore, no Federalism assessment is required.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, 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

[[Page 43039]]

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 Class E 
airspace at Belleville Municipal Airport, Belleville, KS; Stanton 
County Municipal Airport, Johnson, KS; Marysville Municipal Airport, 
Marysville, KS; Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS; and 
Washington County Veteran's Memorial Airport, Washington, KS.

History

    On March 29, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Class E airspace at 
Belleville Municipal Airport, Belleville, KS; Stanton County Municipal 
Airport, Johnson, KS; Marysville Municipal Airport, Marysville, KS; 
Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS; and Washington County 
Veteran's Memorial Airport, Washington, KS (81 FR 17420) Docket No. 
FAA-2016-4234. Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the 
FAA. No comments were received. Subsequent to publication, the FAA 
found an editorial error in the legal description for Marysville, KS; 
and the name of the town in the airspace designation and legal 
description for Atkinson Municipal Airport. These errors are corrected 
in this rule.
    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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends 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.

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 by removing the approach extensions at Belleville Municipal 
Airport, Belleville, KS; Stanton County Municipal Airport, Johnson, KS; 
Marysville Municipal Airport, Marysville, KS; and Atkinson Municipal 
Airport, Pittsburg, KS, due to decommissioning of NDBs, removal of NDB 
approaches, and the implementation of RNAV standard instrument approach 
procedures at the airports. Also, controlled airspace at Washington 
County Veteran's Memorial Airport is reduced from a 7.3-mile radius to 
a 6.3-mile radius of the airport. This action also updates the 
geographic coordinates of Marysville Municipal Airport, Marysville, KS, 
and Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS, as well as noting the 
correct town for Atkinson Municipal Airport. Additionally, this action 
notes the name of Washington County Veteran's Memorial Airport 
(formerly Washington County Memorial Airport) to coincide with the FAAs 
aeronautical database. This rule is necessary for the safety and 
management of IFR operations under standard instrument approach 
procedures at the above airports.

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.
