<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 185 / Friday, September 23, 2016 / Proposed Rules
Regulatory Findings
We determined that this proposed AD
would not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This
proposed AD would not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on
the relationship between the national
Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify this proposed regulation:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under
the DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26,
1979),
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska, and
(4) Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association of America
(ATA) Code 34: Navigation.
(e) Reason
This AD was prompted by mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI
describes the unsafe condition as cracks in
the inner shell of certain pitot/static pressure
heads. We are issuing this proposed AD to
change the model applicability due to errors
found in AD 2016–06–01.
(b) Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2016–06–01,
Amendment 39–18432 (81 FR 13717; March
15, 2016).
(f) Actions and Compliance
Unless already done, do the following
actions in paragraphs (f)(1) through (5) of this
AD:
(1) For all airplanes that are equipped with
pitot/static pressure head part number (P/N)
DU130–24, except Models BN–2T and BN–
2T–4R: Within 50 hours time-in-service (TIS)
after April 19, 2016 (the effective date
retained from AD 2016–06–01) and
repetitively thereafter at intervals not to
exceed 50 hours TIS, inspect the pitot/static
pressure head for cracks and/or separation
and perform a leak test following the
procedures in the action section of BrittenNorman Service Bulletin SB 310, Issue 4,
dated September 25, 2015.
(2) For Models BN–2T and BN–2T–4R that
are equipped with pitot/static pressure head
part number (P/N) DU130–24: Within 50
hours TIS after the effective date of this AD
and repetitively thereafter at intervals not to
exceed 50 hours TIS, inspect the pitot/static
pressure head for cracks and/or separation
and perform a leak test following the
procedures in the action section of BrittenNorman Service Bulletin SB 310, Issue 4,
dated September 25, 2015.
(3) For all airplanes equipped with pitot/
static pressure head part number (P/N)
DU130–24: If, during an inspection or test
required in paragraph (f)(1) or (2) of this AD
discrepancies are found, before further flight,
replace the pitot/static pressure head with an
airworthy part.
(4) For all airplanes equipped with pitot/
static pressure head part number (P/N)
DU130–24: Corrections performed on
airplanes as required in paragraph (f)(3) of
this AD do not constitute terminating action
for the repetitive actions required in
paragraph (f)(1) or (2) of this AD.
(5) For all airplanes not equipped with a
pitot/static pressure head P/N DU130–24 on
the effective date of this AD: After April 19,
2016 (the effective date retained from AD
2016–06–01), do not install a pitot/static
pressure head P/N DU130–24.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to B–N Group Ltd. Models
BN–2, BN–2A, BN–2A–2, BN–2A–3, BN–2A–
6, BN–2A–8, BN–2A–9, BN–2A–20, BN–2A–
21, BN–2A–26, BN–2A–27, BN–2B–20, BN–
2B–21, BN–2B–26, BN–2B–27, BN–2T–4R,
BN–2T, BN2A MK. III, BN2A MK. III–2, and
BN2A MK. III–3 (all models on Type

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order
7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying:
Class E surface area airspace within a
4.2-mile radius (increased from the 4mile radius) of Ankeny Regional
Airport, Ankeny, IA;
Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface:
By removing the 10-mile extension
northwest of Algona Municipal Airport,
Algona, IA, and updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
Within a 6.7-mile radius (reduced
from the previous 7.1-mile radius) of
Ankeny Regional Airport, Ankeny, IA,
and removing the extensions 9.3 miles
northeast and 11.1 miles north of the
airport;
Within a 7.2-mile radius (increased
from the 6.8-mile radius) of Atlantic
Municipal Airport, Atlantic, IA, with an

extension to the northeast from the 7.2mile radius to 9.2 miles, and updating
the geographic coordinates of the airport
to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database;
Within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced
from the previous 7.5-mile radius) of
Belle Plaine Municipal Airport, Belle
Plaine, IA, and correcting city
designation from Belle Plane to Belle
Plaine;
By removing the 11-mile extension
south of Creston Municipal Airport,
Creston, IA;
By removing the 7.4-mile extensions
south and northwest of Estherville
Municipal Airport, Estherville, IA;
Within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced
from the previous 7.6-mile radius) of
Grinnell Regional Airport, Grinnell, IA,
and updating the geographical
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
By adding an extension to the north
from the 6.4-mile radius to 9.8 miles of
Guthrie County Regional Airport,
Guthrie Center, IA;
And within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced
from the previous 7.3-mile radius) of
Oelwein Municipal Airport, Oelwein,
IA.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary
due to the decommissioning of NDBs,
cancellation of NDB approaches, and
implementation of RNAV procedures at
the above airports. Controlled airspace
is necessary for the safety and
management of the standard instrument
approach procedures for IFR operations
at the airports.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6002 and 6005
of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August
3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, 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.
That airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface within a 6.7-mile
radius of Ankeny Regional Airport, excluding
that portion within the Des Moines Class C
airspace area.
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.
Atlantic Municipal Airport, IA
(Lat. 41°24′14″ N., long. 95°02′56″ W.)

number.
Jkt 238001
USTR has undertaken a
comprehensive review of agency
practices related to the collection, use,
protection and disclosure of USTR
records and information. As a result of
that review, USTR is updating it FOIA
implementing rule. The FOIA, 5 U.S.C.
552, provides a right of access to certain
records and information Federal
agencies maintain and control. The
FOIA requires each Federal agency to
publish regulations describing how to
submit a FOIA request and how the
FOIA Office will process these requests.
USTR’s current FOIA rule, codified at
15 CFR part 2004, was last revised in in
2008. See 73 FR 35063, June 20, 2008.
Due to the passage of time and
amendments to the FOIA, we are
completely rewriting and updating the
rule. USTR’s proposed rule is modeled
after a template provided by the U.S.
Department of Justice, and incorporates
the practical experience of the FOIA
staff. This rulemaking would move the
FOIA rule to a new subpart B to part
2004, which we have proposed
renaming and reorganizing to include
all of the rules governing disclosure of
USTR records and information.
II. Section-by-Section Analysis
Section 2004.1—Purpose and scope:
This section describes the purpose of
the regulation, which is to implement
the FOIA, and explains general policies
and procedures for requesters seeking
access to records and information, and
for processing requests by the USTR
FOIA Office.
Section 2004.2—Proactive
disclosures: This section describes
USTR information the public can access
without filing a FOIA request.
Section 2004.3—How to make a FOIA
request: This section explains what an
individual must do to submit a valid
FOIA request to USTR and where a
request should be sent. It also describes
the information a requester must
provide so USTR can identify the
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
records sought and process their
request.
Section 2004.4—Confidential
commercial information: This section
explains when and how a person or
entity that submits information to USTR
must identify confidential commercial
information. It also describes how USTR
staff will handle such information.
Section 2004.5—The USTR staff that
processes FOIA requests: The USTR
FOIA Office handles all FOIA requests.
The section explains when the FOIA
staff will consult with or refer a request
to another Federal agency.
Section 2004.6—When we will
respond to your request: This section
describes the period of time within
which USTR will respond to requests,
i.e., ordinarily within twenty working
days after the date the request is
perfected. It provides for an extension if
there are unusual circumstances and
explains the requirements for expedited
processing. The section also describes
our multitrack processing system.
Section 2004.7—What our response
will include: This section explains that
we will respond to your request in
writing either with the requested
records or a detailed explanation of the
reasons why all of the requested records
were not disclosed. We also will
provide information about the right of
appeal and the mediation services
offered by the Office of Government
Information Services of the National
Archives and Records Administration.
Section 2004.8—What you can do if
you are dissatisfied with our response:
This section describes when and how a
requester may appeal a determination
on a FOIA request and how and within
what period of time USTR will make a
determination on an appeal.
Section 2004.9—Fees: This section
describes the different categories of
requesters and the types and amounts of
fees we may assess to process and
respond to a FOIA request.
III. Regulatory Flexibility Act
USTR has considered the impact of
the proposed rule and determined that
if adopted as a final rule it is not likely
to have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
business entities because it is applicable
only to USTR’s internal operations and
legal obligations. See 5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.
IV. Paperwork Reduction Act
The proposed rule does not contain
any information collection requirement
that requires the approval of the Office
of Management and Budget under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.).

Towns; Algona, IA; Ankeny, IA; Atlantic, IA; Belle Plane, IA; Creston,
IA; Estherville, IA; Grinnell, IA; Guthrie Center, IA; and Oelwein, IA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify Class E surface area at Ankeny
Regional Airport, Ankeny, IA; and Class
[[Page 65584]]
E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Algona
Municipal Airport, Algona, IA; Ankeny Regional Airport; Atlantic
Municipal Airport, Atlantic, IA; Belle Plaine Municipal Airport, Belle
Plaine, IA; Creston Municipal Airport, Creston, IA; Estherville
Municipal Airport, Estherville, IA; Grinnell Regional Airport,
Grinnell, IA; Guthrie County Regional Airport, Guthrie Center, IA; and
Oelwein Municipal Airport, Oelwein, IA. Decommissioning of non-
directional radio beacons (NDB), cancellation of NDB approaches, and
implementation of area navigation (RNAV) procedures have made this
action necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) operations at the above airports. Additionally, the
geographic coordinates for Algona Municipal Airport, Atlantic Municipal
Airport, and Grinnell Regional Airport would be adjusted to coincide
with the FAA's aeronautical database. The name of Belle Plaine, IA,
would also be adjusted to correct a misspelling in the legal
description.

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 surface area at Ankeny Regional Airport,
Ankeny, IA; and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Algona Municipal Airport, Algona, IA; Ankeny Regional
Airport; Atlantic Municipal Airport, Atlantic, IA; Belle Plaine
Municipal Airport, Belle Plaine, IA; Creston Municipal Airport,
Creston, IA; Estherville Municipal Airport, Estherville, IA; Grinnell
Regional Airport, Grinnell, IA; Guthrie County Regional Airport,

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying:
Class E surface area airspace within a 4.2-mile radius (increased
from the 4-mile radius) of Ankeny Regional Airport, Ankeny, IA;
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface:
By removing the 10-mile extension northwest of Algona Municipal
Airport, Algona, IA, and updating the geographic coordinates of the
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
Within a 6.7-mile radius (reduced from the previous 7.1-mile
radius) of Ankeny Regional Airport, Ankeny, IA, and removing the
extensions 9.3 miles northeast and 11.1 miles north of the airport;
Within a 7.2-mile radius (increased from the 6.8-mile radius) of
Atlantic Municipal Airport, Atlantic, IA, with an
[[Page 65585]]
extension to the northeast from the 7.2-mile radius to 9.2 miles, and
updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database;
Within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from the previous 7.5-mile
radius) of Belle Plaine Municipal Airport, Belle Plaine, IA, and
correcting city designation from Belle Plane to Belle Plaine;
By removing the 11-mile extension south of Creston Municipal
Airport, Creston, IA;
By removing the 7.4-mile extensions south and northwest of
Estherville Municipal Airport, Estherville, IA;
Within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from the previous 7.6-mile
radius) of Grinnell Regional Airport, Grinnell, IA, and updating the
geographical coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database;
By adding an extension to the north from the 6.4-mile radius to 9.8
miles of Guthrie County Regional Airport, Guthrie Center, IA;
And within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced from the previous 7.3-mile
radius) of Oelwein Municipal Airport, Oelwein, IA.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
NDBs, cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of RNAV
procedures at the above airports. Controlled airspace is necessary for
the safety and management of the standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at the airports.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005 of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016, 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.
