WI, reducing existing segment
extending from the 6.8-mile radius to
11.4 miles southwest, and adding
segments extending from the 6.8-mile
radius to 7 miles northeast and 10 miles
northwest of the airport.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary
due to the decommissioning of NDBs,
cancellation of NDB approaches, and
implementation of RNAV procedures at
these airports, and for the safety and
management of the standard instrument
approach procedures for IFR operations.
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.
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.
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: In Notice
No. 160 (81 FR 40584, June 22, 2016),
the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau (TTB) proposed to amend its
labeling and recordkeeping regulations
in 27 CFR part 24 to provide that any
standard grape wine containing 7
percent or more alcohol by volume that
is covered by a certificate of exemption
from label approval may be labeled with
a varietal (grape type) designation, a
type designation of varietal significance,
a vintage date, or an appellation of

compliance with the standards set forth
in the appropriate sections of 27 CFR
part 4 for that label information. TTB is
also proposing to amend its part 4 wine
labeling regulations to include a
reference to the new part 24
requirement. The 60-day comment
period for Notice No. 160 originally
closed on August 22, 2016.
TTB has received two requests from
California-based wine industry trade
associations to extend the public
comment period an additional 90 days.
The first, dated August 2, 2016, was
submitted by Wine Institute; the second,
dated August 19, 2016, was submitted
by the California Association of
Winegrape Growers. Both associations
state that additional time is needed to
assess the proposal’s effects on their
membership, noting that their members
are currently preoccupied with the
grape harvest. The letters are posted as
Comment 7 and Comment 41 within
Docket No. TTB–2016–0005 at

Determination To Re-Open the Public
Comment Period
In response to the requests from Wine
Institute and the California Association
of Winegrape Growers to extend the
comment period, TTB is reopening the
comment period for Notice No. 160 for
an additional 90 days. We believe this
additional time is necessary for industry
members and the public to fully
consider the proposals outlined in
Notice 160. Therefore, comments on
Notice No. 160 are now due on or before
December 7, 2016.

the wine. In light of the reopening of the
comment period, TTB is asking that
commenters consider this issue when
commenting on Notice No. 160. Please
provide any available specific
information in support of your
