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 considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface within a 7mile radius of Deblois Flight Strip,
Deblois, ME, providing the controlled
airspace required to support the new
RNAV (GPS) 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 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
E:\FR\FM\17AUP1.SGM
17AUP1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 158 / Thursday, August 17, 2017 / Proposed Rules
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.

The
authority for this rulemaking is 5 U.S.C.
552a, the Privacy Act of 1974, as
amended, which requires the
implementation of the Act by Federal
agencies.
This action ensures that ABMC’s
collection, use, maintenance, or
dissemination of information about
individuals for purposes of discharging
its statutory responsibilities will be
performed in accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974 and applicable
OMB guidance. This rule:
• Establishes rules of conduct for
ABMC personnel and ABMC contractors
involved in the design, development,
operation, or maintenance of any system
of records.
• Establishes appropriate
administrative, technical, and physical
safeguards to ensure the security and
confidentiality of records and to protect
against any anticipated threats or

hazards to their security or integrity that
could result in substantial harm,
embarrassment, inconvenience, or
unfairness to any individual about
whom information is maintained.
• Ensures that guidance, assistance,
and subject matter expert support are
provided ABMC staff, contractors and
the public as needed in the
implementation and execution of and
compliance with the ABMC Privacy
Program.
• Ensures that laws, policies,
procedures, and systems for protecting
individual privacy rights are
implemented throughout ABMC.
Regulatory Procedures
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, and Executive
Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess all costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). Executive Order 13563
emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of
reducing costs, of harmonizing rules,
and of promoting flexibility. This rule
benefits the public and the United
States Government by providing clear
procedures for members of the public,
contractors, and employees to follow
with regard to the ABMC privacy
program. This rule has been designated
a not significant regulatory action.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Section 202 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA)
(2 U.S.C. 1532) requires agencies to
assess anticipated costs and benefits
before issuing any rule whose mandates
require spending in any 1 year of $100
million in 1995 dollars, updated
annually for inflation. In 2016, that
threshold is approximately $146
million. This rule will not mandate any
requirements for State, local, or tribal
governments, nor will it affect private
sector costs.
Public Law 96–354, Regulatory
Flexibility Act
The ABMC certifies this proposed
rule is not subject to the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. Ch. 6) because
it would not, if promulgated, have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility

Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This proposed 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 would establish Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Deblois Flight Strip, Deblois, ME, to
support IFR operations in standard instrument approach procedures at
the 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 considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 7-mile radius of
Deblois Flight Strip, Deblois, ME, providing the controlled airspace
required to support the new RNAV (GPS) 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 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
[[Page 39067]]
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 would 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.
