SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR), part 91, appendix
D, sections 1, 3, and 4, list the airports
where special operating restrictions
apply. Specifically, section 1 lists the
locations at which aircraft operating
within 30 nautical miles (NM) of the
listed airports, from the surface upward
to 10,000 feet mean sea level (MSL),
must be equipped with an altitude
encoding transponder. The locations
listed in this section are intended to be
the Class B airspace area primary
airports. Further, section 3 lists the
locations at which aircraft fixed-wing
Special VFR operations are prohibited
and section 4 lists the locations at
which solo student, sport, and
recreational pilot activity is not
permitted.
On April 28, 1975, the FAA issued a
final rule (40 FR 18414) Docket No. 73–
WA–11, FR. Doc. 75–10970, which
established the Kansas City, Missouri
(MO), Terminal Control Area (TCA),
listing the Kansas City International
Airport as the primary airport. In 1993,
as a result of the Airspace
Reclassification rule (56 FR 65638)
Docket No. 24456, FR Doc. 91–29869,
TCAs were changed to Class B airspace
areas and the Kansas City, MO, TCA
became the Kansas City, MO, Class B
airspace area with the Kansas City
International Airport listed as the
primary airport. However, when the
Airspace Reclassification final rule
amended the regulatory text in 14 CFR
91.215(b)(2) to read ‘‘All aircraft. In all
airspace within 30 nautical miles of an
PO 00000

Fmt 4700

airport listed in appendix D, section 1
of this part . . .’’, the airports listed in
Appendix D, section 1, inadvertently
included Kansas City, KS (MidContinent International Airport) in error
instead of Kansas City, MO (Kansas City
International Airport). This action
corrects that inadvertent error in
Appendix D, section 1.
Further review of the airports listed in
Appendix D, section 1, highlighted that
the airport name for twelve other
airports listed in the section were
incorrect and had changed since
originally having been included as a
result of the Airspace Reclassification
rule. The twelve airports include:
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International
Airport, Baltimore/Washington
International Thurgood Marshall
Airport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport, Detroit
Metropolitan Wayne County Airport,
George Bush Intercontinental/Houston
Airport, Minneapolis-St. Paul
International/Wold-Chamberlain
Airport, Newark Liberty International
Airport, Louis Armstrong New Orleans
International Airport, Pittsburgh
International Airport, Miramar Marine
Corps Air Station, and Joint Base
Andrews.
Similarly, review of the airports listed
in appendix D, section 3, identified that
the airport name for thirteen airports
listed in the section were incorrect and
had changed since originally having
been included as a result of the Airspace
Reclassification rule. The thirteen
airports include: Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport,
Baltimore/Washington International
Thurgood Marshall Airport, Cincinnati/
Northern Kentucky International
Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International
Airport, Dallas Love Field Airport,
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County
Airport, George Bush Intercontinental/
Houston Airport, Louisville
International Airport-Standiford Field,
Minneapolis-St. Paul International/
Wold-Chamberlain Airport, Newark
Liberty International Airport, Louis
Armstrong New Orleans International
Airport, Pittsburgh International
Airport, and Joint Base Andrews.
Lastly, review of the airports listed in
appendix D, section 4, identified that
the airport name for four airports listed
in the section were incorrect and had
changed since originally having been
included as a result of the Airspace
Reclassification rule. The four airports
include: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta
International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport, Newark Liberty
International Airport, and Joint Base
Andrews.

the airport names listed in Appendix D,
sections 1, 3, and 4 to correctly identify
the airports consistent with FAA
aeronautical database information.
The Rule

Administrative Procedure Act
The Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. 553(b)) requires agencies to
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking
and provide opportunity for comment
except when the agency for good cause
finds (and incorporates the finding and
a brief statement of reasons therefor in
the rules issued) that notice and public
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
procedure thereon are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest. The FAA finds that notice and
the opportunity for comment are
unnecessary for this action as the action
merely changes the names of airports to
conform to the names included in the
FAA aeronautical database. The FAA
also finds that not changing these names
in the regulations is contrary to the
public interest as not changing the
names could cause confusion or errors
in charts or other documents produced
using the aeronautical database and
regulations.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Department of Commerce
(the Department) is modifying the
applicability date contained in the final

applicability date language did not
convey the Department’s intention, i.e.,
to apply the newly amended regulations
to all segments of proceedings initiated
on or after the effective date contained
in the rule. This action is necessary to
ensure that there is no ambiguity in the
application of the modified regulations.

On March
24, 2016, the Department published a
final rule in the Federal Register
modifying 19 CFR 351.102(b)(38) and 19
CFR 351.401(c). Modification of
Regulations Regarding Price
Adjustments in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings, 81 FR 15641 (March 24,
2016) (Final Rule). The DATES section of
the Final Rule states: ‘‘Effective date:
April 25, 2016. Applicability date: This
rule will apply to all proceedings
initiated on or after April 25, 2016.’’
On June 20, 2016, the Department
published a proposed rule to correct the
applicability date of the Final Rule. See
Correction to Applicability Date for
Modification of Regulations Regarding
Price Adjustments in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings, 81 FR 39873 (June 20,
2016). In its proposed rule, the
Department explained that the
applicability date in the Final Rule does
not convey the Department’s intention,
i.e., to apply the newly amended
regulations to all segments of
proceedings initiated on or after the
effective date of the Final Rule. The
Department further explained that,
although ‘‘proceedings’’ can be
interpreted generally to include any
segment of an administrative case before
Enforcement and Compliance that is
initiated on or after the effective date,
‘‘proceeding’’ and ‘‘segment of
proceeding’’ are defined separately in 19
CFR 351.102(b)(40) and 19 CFR
351.102(b)(47), respectively. Thus, to
avoid any ambiguity and to clarify the
Department’s intent, the Department
proposed to modify the applicability
date of the Final Rule such that the
Final Rule will apply to all segments of
proceedings initiated on or after 30 days
following the publication date of the
final rule that results from this
rulemaking.
The Department received no
comments on the proposed rule. Thus,
the Department is modifying the
applicability date of the Final Rule as
discussed above. As the prior
applicability date was not included in
the modified regulations, 19 CFR
351.102(b)(38) and 19 CFR 351.401(c),
the Department is not amending its
regulations. The only change to the
Final Rule being addressed in this final
rule is a change to the applicability date
of the Final Rule.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Changes From the Proposed Rule
There are no changes from the
proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This action amends the Appendix listing airports/locations
with special operating restrictions in FAA's general operating and
flight rules. Specifically, this action corrects the entry for Kansas
City, MO (Kansas City International Airport) and updates the name of
twelve (12) other airports listed in Appendix D, section 1.
Additionally, this action updates the name of thirteen (13) airports
listed in Appendix D, section 3, and the name of four (4) airports
listed in Appendix D, section 4. The FAA is taking this action to
correctly identify the airports listed in the appropriate special
operating restrictions sections of the Appendix consistent with FAA
aeronautical database information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 91,
appendix D, sections 1, 3, and 4, list the airports where special
operating restrictions apply. Specifically, section 1 lists the
locations at which aircraft operating within 30 nautical miles (NM) of
the listed airports, from the surface upward to 10,000 feet mean sea
level (MSL), must be equipped with an altitude encoding transponder.
The locations listed in this section are intended to be the Class B
airspace area primary airports. Further, section 3 lists the locations
at which aircraft fixed-wing Special VFR operations are prohibited and
section 4 lists the locations at which solo student, sport, and
recreational pilot activity is not permitted.
On April 28, 1975, the FAA issued a final rule (40 FR 18414) Docket
No. 73-WA-11, FR. Doc. 75-10970, which established the Kansas City,
Missouri (MO), Terminal Control Area (TCA), listing the Kansas City
International Airport as the primary airport. In 1993, as a result of
the Airspace Reclassification rule (56 FR 65638) Docket No. 24456, FR
Doc. 91-29869, TCAs were changed to Class B airspace areas and the
Kansas City, MO, TCA became the Kansas City, MO, Class B airspace area
with the Kansas City International Airport listed as the primary
airport. However, when the Airspace Reclassification final rule amended
the regulatory text in 14 CFR 91.215(b)(2) to read ``All aircraft. In
all airspace within 30 nautical miles of an airport listed in appendix
D, section 1 of this part . . .'', the airports listed in Appendix D,
section 1, inadvertently included Kansas City, KS (Mid-Continent
International Airport) in error instead of Kansas City, MO (Kansas City
International Airport). This action corrects that inadvertent error in
Appendix D, section 1.
Further review of the airports listed in Appendix D, section 1,
highlighted that the airport name for twelve other airports listed in
the section were incorrect and had changed since originally having been
included as a result of the Airspace Reclassification rule. The twelve
airports include: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport,
Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport,
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport,
George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport, Minneapolis-St. Paul
International/Wold-Chamberlain Airport, Newark Liberty International
Airport, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, Pittsburgh
International Airport, Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, and Joint Base
Andrews.
Similarly, review of the airports listed in appendix D, section 3,
identified that the airport name for thirteen airports listed in the
section were incorrect and had changed since originally having been
included as a result of the Airspace Reclassification rule. The
thirteen airports include: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International
Airport, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport,
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport, Dallas Love Field Airport, Detroit Metropolitan
Wayne County Airport, George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport,
Louisville International Airport-Standiford Field, Minneapolis-St. Paul
International/Wold-Chamberlain Airport, Newark Liberty International
Airport, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, Pittsburgh
International Airport, and Joint Base Andrews.
Lastly, review of the airports listed in appendix D, section 4,

Administrative Procedure Act
The Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)) requires
agencies to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking and provide
opportunity for comment except when the agency for good cause finds
(and incorporates the finding and a brief statement of reasons therefor
in the rules issued) that notice and public procedure thereon are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. The FAA
finds that notice and the opportunity for comment are unnecessary for
this action as the action merely changes the names of airports to
conform to the names included in the FAA aeronautical database. The FAA
also finds that not changing these names in the regulations is contrary
to the public interest as not changing the names could cause confusion
or errors in charts or other documents produced using the aeronautical
database and regulations.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 91
