Additionally, the action updated the geographic coordinates of these airports and the Pocatello VHF Omnidirectional Radar Range Tactical Air Navigation Aid (VORTAC), the Twin Falls VORTAC, and American Falls Airport listed in the associated Class D and Class E airspace descriptions for Pocatello Regional Airport, and Joslin Field-Magic Valley Regional Airport. The FAA found that by updating the geographic coordinates of the airports and navigation aids, the charted boundaries of the airspace were affected sufficiently to warrant full consideration under the rulemaking process.

ACTION: Final rule; notice of delay of effectiveness for discharge requirements with regard to U.S. Coast Guard activities. AGENCY: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) expanded the boundaries of Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary (now renamed Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary or GFNMS) and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary (CBNMS) to an area north and west of their previous boundaries with a final rule published on March 12, 2015. The final rule entered into effect on June 9, 2015. At that time, NOAA postponed the effectiveness of the discharge requirements in both sanctuaries’ regulations in the areas added to GFNMS and CBNMS boundaries in 2015 with regard to U.S. Coast Guard activities for six months. Since then, NOAA published three pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:10 Jun 06, 2017 Jkt 241001 26339 documents to extend the postponement of the discharge requirements to provide adequate time for completion of an environmental assessment, and subsequent rulemaking, as appropriate. The current extension would end on June 9, 2017. This document extends the postponement of the discharge requirements for these activities for another six months for the same reasons. DATES: The effectiveness for the discharge requirements in both CBNMS and GFNMS expansion areas with regard to U.S. Coast Guard activities is December 9, 2017. ADDRESSES: Copies of documents relating to the expansion, including the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), final management plans, and the final rule published on March 12, 2015, can be viewed or downloaded at https:// farallones.noaa.gov/manage/expansion_ cbgf.html. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maria Brown, Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary Superintendent, at Maria.Brown@ noaa.gov or 415–561–6622. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: December 1, 2015 (80 FR 74985), May 31, 2016 (81 FR 34268), and December 6, 2016 (81 FR 87803), to provide adequate time for completion of an environmental assessment and to determine NOAA’s next steps. Without further NOAA action, the discharge regulations would become effective with regard to USCG activities on June 9, 2017. However, NOAA needs more time to develop alternatives for an environmental assessment developed pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. Therefore, this document postpones the effectiveness of the discharge requirements in the expansion areas of both sanctuaries with regard to USCG activities for another six months, until December 9, 2017. During this time, NOAA will continue to consider how to address USCG’s concerns and, among other things, whether to exempt certain USCG activities in sanctuary regulations. The public, other federal agencies, and interested stakeholders will be given an opportunity to comment on various alternatives that are being considered. This will include the opportunity to review any proposed rule and related environmental analysis. I. Background On March 12, 2015, NOAA expanded the boundaries of Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary (now renamed Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary or GFNMS) and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary (CBNMS) to an area north and west of their previous boundaries with a final rule (80 FR 13078). The final rule entered into effect on June 9, 2015 (80 FR 34047). In the course of the rulemaking to expand GFNMS and CBNMS, NOAA learned from U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) that the discharge regulations had the potential to impair the operations of USCG vessels and aircraft conducting law enforcement and on-water training exercises in GFNMS and CBNMS expansion areas. The USCG supports national marine sanctuary management by providing routine surveillance and dedicated law enforcement of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) and sanctuary regulations. To ensure that the March 12, 2015, rule did not undermine USCG’s ability to perform its duties, at that time, NOAA postponed the effectiveness of the discharge requirements in both sanctuaries’ regulations with regard to USCG activities in the expansion areas for six months. Three additional six-month postponements of the effectiveness of the discharge requirements were published in the Federal Register on II. Classification PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 A. National Environmental Policy Act NOAA previously conducted an environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as part of the rulemaking process leading to the expansion of CBNMS and GFNMS, which addressed regulations regarding the discharge of any matter or material in the sanctuaries. Potential environmental impacts of the decision to postpone effectiveness are sufficiently encompassed within the impacts analysis of the environmental baseline and the no action alternative presented in that analysis. Should NOAA decide to amend the regulations governing discharges for USGS activities in CBNMS and GFNMS, any additional environmental analysis required under NEPA would be prepared and released for public comment. B. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Impact This action has been determined to be not significant for purposes of the meaning of Executive Order 12866. C. Administrative Procedure Act The Assistant Administrator of National Ocean Service (NOS) finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive the notice and comment requirements of the E:\FR\FM\07JNR1.SGM 07JNR1

Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Aspen, CO; and Pueblo, 
CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule, technical amendment, withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the final rule, technical amendment 
published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2017. In that action, 
the FAA amended Class E Airspace at Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy Field, 
Aspen, CO, and Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO. The FAA has 
determined that withdrawal of the final rule, technical amendment is 
warranted since a change in the geographic coordinates of the airports 
will affect the charted boundaries of the airspace, and therefore 
should be considered under the full rulemaking process.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, June 7, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (82 FR 
18981, April 25, 2017) amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR) part 71 amending Class E Airspace designated as an extension 
to a Class D or Class E surface area at Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy 
Field, Aspen, CO, and Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO, by 
eliminating the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status. 
Additionally, the action updated the geographic coordinates of Aspen 
Pitkin County/Sardy Field, Aspen, CO, and Pueblo Memorial Airport, 
Pueblo, CO listed in the associated Class D and Class E airspace 
descriptions for Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy Field, and Pueblo Memorial 
Airport. The FAA found that by updating the geographic coordinates of 
the airports, the charted boundaries of the airspace were affected 
sufficiently to warrant full consideration under the rulemaking 
process. As a result, the final rule, technical amendment is being 
withdrawn.
