SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Jkt 244001
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
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 amends
Class E airspace designated as a surface
area at Iowa County Airport, Mineral
Point, WI, to support instrument flight
rules (IFR) operations.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 9451; March 6, 2018) for
Docket No. FAA–2018–0087 to amend
Class E airspace designated as a surface
area at Iowa County Airport, Mineral
Point, WI, by changing the airspace to
full-time and removing the part-time
status and language from the airspace
description. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. One
comment was received supporting the
proposal with the understanding that
the change would assist aircraft in the
terminal environment with obstacle
avoidance, separation services, and
noise abatement. The FAA appreciates
the support for this proposal and
provides the following for clarification:
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
31653
The development of the Class E
airspace designated as a surface area at
Iowa County airport takes into
consideration and provides for terrain
clearance within the airspace and
provides for the protection of
instrument procedures, taking other
obstacles, such as wind turbines, into
consideration; however, obstacle
avoidance is ultimately the
responsibility of the pilot in command.
The air traffic services currently
provided by Chicago ARTCC will be the
same as previously provided; however,
those services will now be provided on
a full-time basis.
Airspace is not designed nor meant to
support noise abatement policies.
Airspace is designed to support air
traffic services, provide protection for
and improve the safety of IFR
operations. Therefore, noise abatement
policies were not taken into
consideration in this airspace
amendment.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6002 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 E airspace designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends 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 Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
modifies Class E airspace designated as
a surface area at Iowa County Airport,
Mineral Point, WI, by making the
airspace full-time and removing the
part-time status language from the
airspace legal description. This
amendment is made at the request of
Chicago ARTCC.
This action also makes an editorial
change by removing the name of the city
associated with the airport in the
airspace legal description to comply
with a change to FAA Order 7400.2L,
Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters.

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.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This document amends the
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) regulations to continue the import
restrictions on archaeological and
ethnological material from Libya
previously imposed on an emergency
basis in a final rule published on
December 5, 2017. These restrictions are
being imposed pursuant to an agreement
between the United States and Libya
that has been entered into under the
authority of the Convention on Cultural
Property Implementation Act. The
document also contains the Designated
List of Archaeological and Ethnological
Material of Libya that describes the
articles to which the restrictions apply.
Accordingly, this document amends the
CBP regulations by removing Libya from
the listing of countries for which
emergency actions imposed the import
restrictions, and adding Libya to the list
of countries for which an agreement has
been entered into for imposing import
restrictions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Pursuant to the Convention on
Cultural Property Implementation Act,
Pub. L. 97–446, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.
(hereinafter, ‘‘the Cultural Property
Implementation Act’’ or ‘‘the Act’’),
which implements the 1970 United
Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
Convention on the Means of Prohibiting
and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export
and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural
Property (hereinafter, ‘‘1970 UNESCO
Convention’’ or ‘‘the Convention’’ (823
U.N.T.S. 231 (1972))), the United States
may enter into international agreements
with another State Party to the 1970
UNESCO Convention to impose import
restrictions on eligible archaeological
and ethnological material under
procedures and requirements prescribed
by the Act. In certain limited
circumstances, the Cultural Property
Implementation Act authorizes the
imposition of restrictions on an
emergency basis (19 U.S.C. 2603). The
emergency restrictions are effective for
no more than five years from the date
of the State Party’s request and may be
extended for three years where it is
determined that the emergency
condition continues to apply with
respect to the covered material (19
U.S.C. 2603(c)(3)). These restrictions
may also be continued pursuant to an
agreement concluded within the
meaning of the Act (19 U.S.C.
2603(c)(4)).
Libya has been one of the countries
whose archaeological and ethnological
material has been afforded emergency
protection. On December 5, 2017, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
published a final rule, CBP Dec. 17–19,
in the Federal Register (82 FR 57346)
which amended CBP regulations in 19
CFR 12.104g(b) to reflect that
archaeological material and ethnological
material from Libya received import
protection under the emergency
protection provisions of the Act.
Import restrictions are now being
imposed on the same categories of
archaeological and ethnological material
from Libya as a result of a bilateral
agreement entered into between the
United States and Libya. This agreement
was entered into on February 23, 2018,
pursuant to the provisions of 19 U.S.C.
2602. Protection of the archaeological
and ethnological material from Libya
