Availability and Summary of
Documents Proposed 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
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface within a 6.6-mile
(formerly 6.5-mile) radius of Stevens
Point Municipal Airport, Stevens Point,
WI.. The segments that extended each
side of the Stevens Point VORTAC
extending from the 6.5-mile radius
northeast, east, and southwest of the
VORTAC, would be removed due to the
decommissioning of the VORTAC and
cancellation of the VOR approaches.
The Stevens Point VORTAC has been
out of service since 2012 due to extreme
fluctuations and out-of-tolerance
structure. The action would enhance the
safety and management of the standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at the airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Sfmt 4702
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
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current, is noncontroversial 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
proposed 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.

Schedules of Controlled Substances:
Removal of Naldemedine From Control
Drug Enforcement
Administration, Department of Justice.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
The Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) proposes to
remove naldemedine (4R,4aS,7aR,12bS)3-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4a,7,9trihydroxy-N-(2-(3-phenyl-1,2,4oxadiazol-5-yl)propan-2-yl)2,3,4,4a,5,7a-hexahydro-1H-4,12methanobenzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinoline-6carboxamide) including its salts from
the schedules of the Controlled
Substances Act (CSA). This action is
pursuant to the CSA which requires that
such actions be made on the record after
opportunity for a hearing through
formal rulemaking. Naldemedine is
currently a schedule II controlled
substance because it can be derived
from opium alkaloids. This action
would remove the regulatory controls
and administrative, civil, and criminal
sanctions applicable to controlled
substances, including those specific to
schedule II controlled substances, on
persons who handle (manufacture,
distribute, reverse distribute, dispense,
conduct research, import, export, or
conduct chemical analysis) or propose
to handle naldemedine.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed 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 airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.6-mile (formerly 6.5-
mile) radius of Stevens Point Municipal Airport, Stevens Point, WI..
The segments that extended each side of the Stevens Point VORTAC
extending from the 6.5-mile radius northeast, east, and southwest of
the VORTAC, would be removed due to the decommissioning of the VORTAC
and cancellation of the VOR approaches.
The Stevens Point VORTAC has been out of service since 2012 due to
extreme fluctuations and out-of-tolerance structure. The action would
enhance the safety and management of the standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at the airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 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 proposed 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 proposed 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.
