Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 160 / Monday, August 21, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
between Muscle Shoals, AL, and Central
City, KY. Therefore, the amended route
extends between Dolphin, FL, and
Muscle Shoals, AL, as currently
described; then between Central City,
KY, and Sawyer, MI, as currently
described.
V–67: V–67 extends between the Choo
Choo, TN, VORTAC and the Rochester,
MN, VOR/DME. This rule removes the
Graham, TN, VORTAC from the route
which creates a gap in the route
between Shelbyville, TN, and
Cunningham, KY. Therefore, the
amended route extends between Choo
Choo, TN, and Shelbyville, TN, as
currently described; then between
Cunningham, KY, and Rochester, MN,
as currently described. This action also
corrects the state location for the Choo
Choo VORTAC to reflect Tennessee.

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. It, therefore: (1) Is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (DOT) Regulatory
Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034;
February 26, 1979); and (3) does not
warrant preparation of a regulatory
evaluation because 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 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 of modifying the descriptions of
VOR Federal airways V–7, and V–67,
due to the planned decommissioning of
the Graham, TN, VORTAC. qualifies for
categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act and its
agency-specific implementing
regulations in FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ regarding categorical
exclusions for procedural actions at
paragraph 5–6.5a, which categorically
excludes from full environmental
impact review rulemaking actions that
designate or modify classes of airspace
areas, airways, routes, and reporting
points. Therefore, this airspace action is
not expected to result in any significant
environmental impacts. In accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph
5–2 regarding Extraordinary

Circumstances, this action has been
reviewed for factors and circumstances
in which a normally categorically
excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further
analysis, and it is determined that no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

ACTION:
The Federal Trade
Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’ or
‘‘FTC’’) is amending its Telemarketing
Sales Rule (‘‘TSR’’) by updating the fees
charged to entities accessing the
National Do Not Call Registry (the
‘‘Registry’’) as required by the Do-NotCall Registry Fee Extension Act of 2007.
DATES: This rule is effective October 1,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To comply
with the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee
Extension Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110–188,
122 Stat. 635) (‘‘Act’’), the Commission
is amending the TSR by updating the
fees entities are charged for accessing
the Registry as follows: The revised rule
increases the annual fee for access to the
Registry for each area code of data from
$61 to $62 per area code, and increases
the maximum amount that will be
charged to any single entity for
accessing area codes of data from
$16,714 to $17,021. The fee per area
code of data during the second six
months of an entity’s annual
subscription period increases from $30
to $31.
These increases are in accordance
with the Act, which specifies that
beginning after fiscal year 2009, the
dollar amounts charged shall be
increased by an amount equal to the
amounts specified in the Act, multiplied
by the percentage (if any) by which the
average of the monthly consumer price
index (for all urban consumers
published by the Department of Labor)
(‘‘CPI’’) for the most recently ended 12month period ending on June 30
exceeds the CPI for the 12-month period
SUMMARY:

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
39534
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 160 / Monday, August 21, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
ending June 30, 2008. The Act also
states that any increase shall be rounded
to the nearest dollar and that there shall
be no increase in the dollar amounts if
the change in the CPI is less than one
percent. For fiscal year 2009, the Act
specified that the original annual fee for
access to the Registry for each area code
of data was $54 per area code, or $27
per area code of data during the second
six months of an entity’s annual
subscription period, and that the
maximum amount that would be
charged to any single entity for
accessing area codes of data would be
$14,850.
The determination whether a fee
change is required and the amount of
the fee change involves a two-step
process. First, to determine whether a
fee change is required, we measure the
change in the CPI from the time of the
previous increase in fees. There was an
increase in the fees for fiscal year 2017.
Accordingly, we calculated the change
in the CPI since last year, and the
increase was 1.84 percent. Because this
change is over the one percent
threshold, the fees will change for fiscal
year 2018.
Second, to determine how much the
fees should increase this fiscal year, we
use the calculation specified by the Act
set forth above, the percentage change in
the baseline CPI applied to the original
fees for fiscal year 2009. The average
value of the CPI for July 1, 2007 to June
30, 2008 was 211.702; the average value
for July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 was
242.656, an increase of 14.62 percent.
Applying the 14.62 percent increase to
the base amount from fiscal year 2009,
leads to an increase from $61 to $62 in
the fee from last year for access to a
single area code of data for a full year
for fiscal year 2018. The actual amount
is $61.89, but when rounded, pursuant
to the Act, the amount is $62. The fee
for accessing an additional area code for
a half year increases from $30 to $31
(rounded from $30.95). The maximum
amount charged increases to $17,021
(rounded from $17,021.07).
Administrative Procedure Act;
Regulatory Flexibility Act; Paperwork
Reduction Act. The revisions to the Fee
Rule are technical in nature and merely
incorporate statutory changes to the
TSR. These statutory changes have been
adopted without change or
interpretation, making public comment
unnecessary. Therefore, the Commission
has determined that the notice and
comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act do not
apply. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b). For this
reason, the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act also do not
apply. See 5 U.S.C. 603, 604.

(c) The annual fee, which must be
paid by any person prior to obtaining
access to the National Do Not Call
Registry, is $62 for each area code of
data accessed, up to a maximum of
$17,021; provided, however, that there
shall be no charge to any person for
accessing the first five area codes of
data, and provided further, that there
shall be no charge to any person
engaging in or causing others to engage
in outbound telephone calls to
consumers and who is accessing area
codes of data in the National Do Not
Call Registry if the person is permitted
to access, but is not required to access,
the National Do Not Call Registry under
this Rule, 47 CFR 64.1200, or any other
Federal regulation or law. No person
may participate in any arrangement to
share the cost of accessing the National
Do Not Call Registry, including any
arrangement with any telemarketer or
service provider to divide the costs to
access the registry among various clients
of that telemarketer or service provider.
(d) Each person who pays, either
directly or through another person, the
annual fee set forth in paragraph (c) of
this section, each person excepted
under paragraph (c) from paying the

annual fee, and each person excepted

§ 310.4(b)(1)(iii)(B), will be provided a
unique account number that will allow
that person to access the registry data
for the selected area codes at any time
for the twelve month period beginning
on the first day of the month in which
the person paid the fee (‘‘the annual
period’’). To obtain access to additional
area codes of data during the first six
months of the annual period, each
person required to pay the fee under
paragraph (c) of this section must first
pay $62 for each additional area code of
data not initially selected. To obtain
access to additional area codes of data
during the second six months of the
annual period, each person required to
pay the fee under paragraph (c) of this
section must first pay $31 for each
additional area code of data not initially
selected. The payment of the additional
fee will permit the person to access the
additional area codes of data for the
remainder of the annual period.
