ACTION:
Final rule.
This action modifies the Class
E surface area and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Mount Vernon Airport,
Mount Vernon, IL. This action is due to
an airspace review caused by the

VHF omnidirectional range (VOR),
which provided navigation information
to the instrument procedures at this
airport, as part of the VOR Minimum
Operational Network (MON) Program.
The geographic coordinates and name of
the airport are also being updated to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database. Airspace redesign is necessary
for the safety and management of
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
at this airport.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, August 15,
2019. The Director of the Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with RULES
Authority for This Rulemaking
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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 the
Class E surface area and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Mount Vernon Airport,
Mount Vernon, IL, to support IFR
operations at this airport.
associated extension from the airspace
legal description; and by updating the
name of the airport (formerly Mount
Vernon/Outland Airport) and the
geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database.
This action is due to an airspace
review caused by the decommissioning
of the Mount Vernon VOR, which
provided navigation information for the
instrument procedures at these airports,
as part of the VOR MON Program.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (84 FR 6708; February 28,
2019) for Docket No. FAA–2019–0041 to
amend the Class E surface area and
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Mount
Vernon Airport, Mount Vernon, IL.
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 this action. No
response is provided.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6002 and 6005
of FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August
13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, 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.
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.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order
7400.11C, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 13,
2018, and effective September 15, 2018.
FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. FAA Order
7400.11C lists Class A, B, C, D, and E
airspace areas, air traffic service routes,
and reporting points.
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.
The Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by:
Modifying the Class E surface area to
within a 4.1-mile radius (reduced from
a 4.2-mile radius) at Mount Vernon
Airport, Mount Vernon, IL, and
removing the Mount Vernon VOR/DME
and the associate extension from the
airspace legal description;
And modifying the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Mount Vernon Airport,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
§ 71.1
I. Background
The Commission issued the Guides
for the Nursery Industry in 1979.1 These
Guides address various sales claims for
outdoor plants, including
representations regarding quantity, size,
grade, kind, species, age, maturity,
condition, vigor, hardiness, growth
ability, price, and origin or place where
grown. The Commission amended the
Guides in 1994 to update legal
terminology, and again in 2007 to make
a technical correction.2
The Commission reviews its rules and
guides periodically to seek information
about their costs and benefits to
consumers and businesses, regulatory
and economic impact, and general
effectiveness in protecting consumers
and helping industry avoid deceptive
claims. These reviews assist the
Commission in identifying rules and
guides that warrant modification or
rescission.
On February 22, 2018, the
Commission initiated its scheduled
regulatory review of the Nursery Guides
and solicited public comment on several
issues.3 Specifically, the Commission
sought input on the continuing need for
the Guides; their economic impact;
possible conflict between the Guides
and state, local, federal, or international
laws; and the effect of any
technological, economic,
environmental, or other industry
changes. The Commission also solicited
comment on issues specific to the
Guides, such as whether the
Commission should update plant
classification references. In response,
the Commission received one comment
from the National Federation of
Independent Business (‘‘NFIB’’). NFIB
argued the Commission should rescind
the Guides because they are an
unnecessary federal regulatory burden.
NFIB also contended that regulation or

ACTION:
The Federal Trade
Commission (‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’)
has completed its review of the Guides
for the Nursery Industry (‘‘Nursery
Guides’’ or ‘‘Guides’’) as part of its
systematic review of all current
Commission regulations and guides.
Pursuant to that review, the
Commission now rescinds the Guides.
DATES: The rescission is effective June
12, 2019.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:01 May 10, 2019
Jkt 247001
1 The Commission issued the Guides in 1979 (44
FR 11176 (Feb. 27, 1979)) to replace trade practice
rules for the nursery industry (16 CFR part 34) first
promulgated in the 1950s (23 FR 4803 (June 28,
1958)). The Guides were intended to help marketers
avoid making claims that are unfair or deceptive
under Section 5 of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45.
Industry guides, such as the Nursery Guides, are
administrative interpretations of laws administered
by the Commission. They do not have the force of
law and are not independently enforceable. Failure
to follow industry guides may result, however, in
enforcement action under the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C.
45. In any such action, the Commission must prove
that the act or practice at issue is unfair or deceptive
in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act.
2 See 59 FR 64546 (Dec. 14, 1994); 72 FR 901 (Jan.
9, 2007).

guidance concerning the nursery
business is more properly conducted at
the state, rather than federal, level.
Based on the lack of comments, as
well as the paucity of consumer
complaints and the lack of need for law
enforcement action over the past two
decades, on September 10, 2018 (83 FR
45582), the Commission published a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(‘‘NPRM’’) seeking comments on a
proposed rescission of the Guides. The
Commission stated that the Guides no
longer appear necessary, and thus serve
little purpose to industry or consumers.
Specifically, the types of practices
detailed in the Guides do not appear to
be prevalent in the nursery industry;
little evidence exists that industry
members currently use the Guides to
help avoid deceptive practices; and
rescission will have no impact on the
FTC’s ability to address unfair and
deceptive practices in the nursery
industry.
II. Comments Received
In response to the proposed rescission
notice, the Commission received five
comments, offering conflicting
opinions.4 The National Federation of
Independent Business (‘‘NFIB’’), which
had commented on the initial Notice,
supported the proposed rescission,
commenting that ‘‘federal agencies
should refrain from imposing
unwarranted burdens on the American
people and revoke unnecessary
regulation.’’ AmericanHort, an industry
association representing nursery
growers, greenhouses, and other garden
retailers, supported retaining the Guides
but also noted that ‘‘the overall need for
the Guides has perhaps diminished
somewhat based on the general
evolution of consumer protection
mechanisms in our society.’’
Three individual commenters
opposed rescinding the Guides.
Commenter Harrod argued that, ‘‘due to
the dishonest nature of some people,’’
the Guides will always be needed. The
commenter also asserted that rescission
would imply that it is ‘‘now okay to
deceive people to make money.’’
Similarly, commenter Lerner explained
that the ‘‘average nursery consumer
lacks the expertise to identify species of
plants’’ and suggested the lack of
complaints may be due to the Guides’
effectiveness.5
4 The comments, which can be found at https://
www.ftc.gov/policy/public-comments/2018/09/
initiative-770, included AmericanHort (#00007),
NFIB (Nat’l Fed’n of Independent Business)
(#00005), Lerner (#00004), Smith (#00003), and
Harrod (#00002).
5 Commenter Smith also opposed rescission
without elaboration.

published subsequently in the Order.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C 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 by:
Modifying the Class E surface area to within a 4.1-mile radius
(reduced from a 4.2-mile radius) at Mount Vernon Airport, Mount Vernon,
IL, and removing the Mount Vernon VOR/DME and the associate extension
from the airspace legal description;
And modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Mount Vernon Airport, Mount Vernon, IL, by
removing the Mount Vernon VOR/DME and the associated extension from the
airspace legal description; and by updating the name of the airport
(formerly Mount Vernon/Outland Airport) and the geographic coordinates
of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
This action is due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Mount Vernon VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
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.
