Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 146 / Tuesday, August 1, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority
described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that
section, 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 modifies
Class D airspace, Class E airspace
designated as a surface area, and Class
E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface, and removes
Class E airspace designated as an
extension of Class D airspace at Kenosha
Regional Airport, Kenosha, WI.

History
On May 19, 2017, the FAA published
in the Federal Register (82 FR 22922)
Docket No. FAA–2017–0210, a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify
Class D airspace, Class E airspace
designated as a surface area, and Class
E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface, and remove Class
E airspace designated as an extension of
Class D airspace at Kenosha Regional
Airport, Kenosha, WI. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments were received.
Subsequent to publication, the FAA
determined that the exclusionary
language contained in the Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface airspace
description is no longer required and
has been removed in this action.
Additionally, a typographical error was
made in the geographic coordinates for
the airport in the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface airspace description and has
been corrected in this action.
Except for the changes noted above,
this final rule is the same as published
in the NPRM.
Class D and E airspace designations
are published in paragraph 5000, 6002,
6004, and 6005, respectively, 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 D and E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends 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 Rule
This amendment to Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71:
Modifies the Class D airspace to
within a 4.2-mile radius (increased from
a 4.1-mile radius) of Kenosha Regional
Airport, Kenosha, WI;
Modifies the Class E airspace
designated as a surface area to within a
4.2-mile radius (increased from a 4.1mile radius) of Kenosha Regional
Airport, and removes the Kenosha VOR
and the 7-mile extension northeast of
the airport;
Removes the Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D
airspace at Kenosha Regional Airport;
and
Modifies the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.7-mile radius
(reduced from a 7-mile radius) of
Kenosha Regional Airport (formerly
Kenosha Municipal Airport), with an
extension from the Kenosha Localizer to
10 miles west of the localizer, and
updates the name and geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary
due to the decommissioning of the
Kenosha VOR and to bring the airspace
in compliance with FAA Order JO
7400.2L, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters, at this airport.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the
safety and management of standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at the airport.
Additionally, this action replaces the
outdated term Airport/Facility Directory
with the term Chart Supplement in the
Class D and Class E surface area
airspace legal descriptions.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
‘‘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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In 1990, the FBI published in the
Federal Register a System of Records
Notice (SORN) for the FBI system of
records titled, ‘‘Identification Division
Records System,’’ JUSTICE/FBI–009.
JUSTICE/FBI–009 evolved into the
‘‘Fingerprint Identification Records
System (FIRS),’’ also referred to as the
‘‘Integrated Automated Fingerprint
Identification System (IAFIS),’’
published at 61 FR 6386 (February 20,
1996), which covered individuals
arrested or incarcerated, individuals
applying for Federal employment or
military service, registered aliens or
naturalized citizens, and individuals
wishing to place their fingerprints on
record for personal identification
purposes. The FIRS SORN included the
following records:
A. Criminal fingerprint cards and/or
related criminal justice information
submitted by authorized agencies
having criminal justice responsibilities;
B. Civil fingerprint cards submitted by
Federal agencies and civil fingerprint
cards submitted by persons desiring to
have their fingerprints placed on record
for personal identification purposes;
C. Identification records sometimes
referred to as ‘‘rap sheets’’ which are
compilations of criminal history
information pertaining to individuals
who have criminal fingerprint cards
maintained in the system; and
D. A name index pertaining to all
individuals whose fingerprints are
maintained in the system.
As the system expanded, records
continued to fall within the general
categories of records specified in the
SORN. As a policy matter, however, and
in an effort to better detail the
enhancements made to the system, the
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
35651
FBI and DOJ determined that JUSTICE/
FBI–009 should be modified to more
fully describe the features and
capabilities of the system, which has
since been renamed the Next Generation
Identification (NGI) System. Important
enhancements to the NGI System
include the increased retention and
searching of fingerprints obtained for
the purposes of licensing, employment,
obtaining government benefits, and
biometric services such as improved
latent fingerprint searching and face
recognition technology. Leading up to
the publication of the modified SORN
and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) for the NGI System, the FBI
conducted a series of Privacy Impact
Assessments that detailed the steps
taken by the FBI to fully assess the
privacy impacts of new and modified
NGI System components, addressing
potential risks and mitigation
techniques.
On May 5, 2016, the FBI issued a
Notice of a Modified System of Records
for the NGI System in the Federal
Register at 81 FR 27284 (May 5, 2016),
and an NPRM at 81 FR 27288 (May 5,
2016). In determining whether to claim
exemptions, the FBI did not simply rely
on exemptions granted to the
predecessor system of records, but
thoroughly evaluated the NGI System
and its various components to
determine whether exemptions were
necessary. The necessary exemptions
were proposed in the NPRM along with
supporting rationales, and are to be
codified in accordance with the
issuance of this final rule.
Response to Public Comments
In its NGI System NPRM and Notice
of a Modified System of Records,
published on May 5, 2016, the
Department invited public comment.
The comment periods for both
documents were originally set to close
on June 6, 2016, but were extended 30
days to allow interested individuals
additional time to analyze the proposal
and prepare their comments. The FBI
received over 100 comments and letters
from individuals, and from nongovernment, public interest, civil
liberties, non-profit, and academic
organizations. The FBI has closely
reviewed and considered these
comments. The following discussion is
provided to respond to the NPRM
comments and provide greater insight
into the FBI’s assessment of the need to
claim exemptions from certain
provisions of the Privacy Act for the
NGI System.
Many questions and comments were
received concerning the breadth and
scope of the exemptions claimed. As

an extension from the Kenosha Localizer to 10 miles west of the
localizer, and updates the name and geographic coordinates of the
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
the Kenosha VOR and to bring the airspace in compliance with FAA Order
JO 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters, at this airport.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the
airport.
Additionally, this action replaces the outdated term Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the Class D and
Class E surface area airspace legal descriptions.
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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
