Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace, Carrabassett, ME, 38857-38859 [2017-17257]
Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 16, 2017 / Proposed Rules
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet or more above the surface
within a 6-mile radius of Highland
Medical Center Heliport, Scottsboro,
AL, by recognizing the heliport’s name
change, (formerly Jackson County
Hospital), and adjusting the geographic
coordinates of the heliport to coincide
with the FAAs aeronautical database.
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 designation
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. 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, will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

ADDRESSES
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace

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 considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet or more above the surface
within the 7-mile radius of Sugarloaf
Regional Airport, Carrabassett, ME. A
14.3-mile extension to the north would
be created extending from the 7-mile
radius of the airport for the new RNAV–
(GPS–A) approach for the airport, and
for continued safety and management of
IFR operations. The geographic
coordinates of the airport also would be
adjusted to coincide with the FAAs
aeronautical database.
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 designation
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

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
U.S. Copyright Office
37 CFR Part 202
[Docket No. 2017–9]
Simplifying Deposit Requirements for
Certain Literary Works and Musical
Compositions
U.S. Copyright Office, Library
of Congress.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
The United States Copyright
Office is proposing to amend the
regulations governing the deposit
requirements for certain types of literary
works and musical compositions.
Specifically, the proposed rule will
apply to certain types of ‘‘literary
monographs,’’ which are defined, in
part, as literary works published in one
volume or a finite number of separate
volumes. The proposed rule also applies
to musical compositions that are
published in the United States in print
formats—that is, compositions
published as ‘‘copies’’ rather than solely
as phonorecords, as referenced in the
Copyright Act. Under the current
regulations, two copies of the best
edition are generally needed to register
these types of works and to comply with
the mandatory deposit requirement.
Under the proposed rule, copyright
owners will be able to satisfy both
requirements for literary monographs by
submitting one copy of the best edition
of the work, although the Office will
retain the right to demand a second
copy under the mandatory deposit
provision should the Library need it.
Copyright owners will also be able to
satisfy both requirements for certain
musical compositions by submitting one
copy of the best edition. As part of these
changes, the proposed rule also clarifies
the deposit requirements for musical
compositions published both in print
and phonorecord formats. For musical
works (i.e., musical compositions)
published in both formats, the Office
will require the submission of the print
version for purposes of copyright
registration. If the musical composition
is published only as a phonorecord, the
applicant should submit the
phonorecord. All of these changes will

improve the efficiency of registration
and mandatory deposit for both the
Office and copyright owners alike,
ensuring that the Office has an adequate
registration record and continuing to
make these works available to the
Library of Congress when needed for
use in its collections or other
disposition. The Office invites public
comment on this proposal.

efficiency, the Copyright Office is using
the regulations.gov system for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under section 407 of the Copyright
Act, when a work is published in the
United States, the copyright owner or
the owner of the exclusive right of
publication is generally required to
deposit two complete copies of the best
edition of that work with the U.S.
Copyright Office within three months
after publication. 17 U.S.C. 407. ‘‘The
‘best edition’ of a work’’ is defined as
‘‘the edition, published in the United
States at any time before the date of
deposit, that the Library of Congress
determines to be most suitable for its
purposes.’’ 17 U.S.C. 101. The Act
provides that copies deposited with the
Office under section 407 are ‘‘for the use
or disposition of the Library of
Congress.’’ 17 U.S.C. 407(b). This is
known as the ‘‘mandatory deposit’’
requirement.
Separately, the Copyright Act’s
provision governing copyright
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
38859
registration, section 408, specifies that,
in the case of published works, an
application for registration must be
accompanied by ‘‘two complete copies
or phonorecords of the best edition.’’ 17
U.S.C. 408(b)(2). To avoid duplication of
deposits, section 408 specifies that
copies or phonorecords deposited under
section 407 ‘‘may be used to satisfy the
deposit provisions’’ of section 408 if
they ‘‘are accompanied by the
prescribed application and fee.’’ 17
U.S.C. 408(b).
Because the same copies can
potentially be used for both registration
and mandatory deposit, the deposit
requirements set forth in sections 407
and 408 are generally the same.
Compare 17 U.S.C. 407(a)(1)–(2)
(requiring two complete copies of the
best edition of the work for purposes of
mandatory deposit) with 17 U.S.C.
408(b)(2) (requiring two complete copies
of the best edition for the purpose of
registering a published work).
Sections 407 and 408 both give the
Register of Copyrights (the ‘‘Register’’)
broad authority to issue regulations
concerning the specific nature of the
copies that must be deposited, including
the ability to exempt works from these
statutory requirements. As relevant
here, section 408 gives the Register
authority to ‘‘require or permit, for
particular classes [of works], . . . the
deposit of only one copy . . . where two
would normally be required’’ for
copyright registration. 17 U.S.C.
408(c)(1). Similarly, section 407 gives
the Register authority to issue
regulations that ‘‘require [the] deposit of
only one copy’’ for the purpose of
mandatory deposit. 17 U.S.C. 407(c).
The legislative history confirms that
Congress intended the Register to
exercise this authority when needed to
improve efficiencies within the
Copyright Office. In explaining the
Register’s authority under section 407,
Congress expressed the desire ‘‘to make
the deposit requirements as flexible as
possible, so that there will be no
obligation to make deposits where it
serves no purpose, so that only one copy
or phonorecord may be deposited where
two are not needed, and so that
reasonable adjustments can be made to
meet practical needs in special cases.’’
H.R. Rep. No. 94–1476, at 151 (1976).
Similarly, the legislative history for
section 408 explains that the ‘‘[d]eposit
of one copy . . . rather than two would
probably be justifiable . . . in any case
where the Library of Congress has no
need for the deposit’’ or where the
copies ‘‘are bulky, unwieldy . . . or
otherwise impractical to file and retain
as records identifying the work
registered.’’ Id. at 154.

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 considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet or more above the surface within the 7-mile radius of
Sugarloaf Regional Airport, Carrabassett, ME. A 14.3-mile extension to
the north would be created extending from the 7-mile radius of the
airport for the new RNAV-(GPS-A) approach for the airport, and for
continued safety and management of IFR operations. The geographic
coordinates of the airport also would be adjusted to coincide with the
FAAs aeronautical database.
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 designation 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.
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, will 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.
