Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 3, 2017, and effective
September 15, 2017. FAA Order
7400.11B is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11B 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 D airspace, Class E airspace
designated as an extension to a Class D
surface area, and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface by updating the names
of McGuire Field (Joint Base McGuireDix-Lakehurst), (formerly McGuire AFB
(Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst), and
Ocean County Airport, (formerly Robert
J. Miller Airpark), Wrightstown, NJ.
These changes would enhance the safety
and management of IFR operations in
the area. In addition, this action would
update the geographic coordinates of
Ocean County Airport, Lakehurst (Navy)
TACAN, and Colts Neck VOR/DME.
These changes would bring current the
FAA’s aeronautical database.
Finally, for Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface,
an editorial change would be made
removing the city associated with the
airport name in the airspace designation
to comply with FAA Order 7499.2L,
Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters.

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

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. 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.

(Title IX of Pub. L. 106–387, 22 U.S.C.
7201 et seq.) (the ‘‘Act’’) for authorizing
the export of agricultural commodities,
medicine, and medical devices to Iran
are set forth in 31 CFR 560.530 through

sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order
(E.O.) 13067 of November 3, 1997 and
all of E.O. 13412 of October 13, 2006
were revoked, pursuant to E.O. 13761 of
January 13, 2017, as amended by E.O.
13804 of July 11, 2017. As a result of the
revocation of these sanctions provisions,
effective October 12, 2017, U.S. persons
are no longer prohibited from engaging
in transactions that were previously
prohibited under the Sudanese
Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 538.
However, pursuant to the Act, an OFAC
license is still required for exports and
reexports to the Government of Sudan
or any other entity in Sudan of
agricultural commodities, medicine, and
medical devices as a result of Sudan’s
inclusion on the State Sponsors of
Terrorism List. These exports and
reexports are generally licensed by
OFAC. Under the provisions of section
906(c) of the Act, OFAC must submit a
biennial report to the Congress on the

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective
September 15, 2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B 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 D airspace, Class E
airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area, and
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface by updating the names of McGuire Field (Joint Base McGuire-Dix-
Lakehurst), (formerly McGuire AFB (Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst),
and Ocean County Airport, (formerly Robert J. Miller Airpark),
Wrightstown, NJ. These changes would enhance the safety and management
of IFR operations in the area. In addition, this action would update
the geographic coordinates of Ocean County Airport, Lakehurst (Navy)
TACAN, and Colts Neck VOR/DME. These changes would bring current the
FAA's aeronautical database.
Finally, for Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface, an editorial change would be made removing the city
associated with the airport name in the airspace designation to comply
with FAA Order 7499.2L, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters.
Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000, 6004, and 6005, respectively of FAA Order 7400.11B,
dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15, 2017, 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 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.
