Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 26, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019,
and effective September 15, 2019, 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.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order
7400.11D, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019,
and effective September 15, 2019. FAA
Order 7400.11D is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11D 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
amends the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to of the Tomahawk Regional Airport,
Tomahawk, WI, by adding an extension
2 miles each side of the 090° bearing
from the airport extending from the 6.4mile radius to 9.4 miles east of the
airport; adding an extension 2 miles
each side of the 270° bearing from the
airport extending from the 6.4-mile
radius to 9 miles west of the airport; and
updating the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
This action is necessary due to an
airspace review requested by the
Airspace Policy Group.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
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.
BILLING CODE 4910–13–P
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.

Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
We are extending the
expiration dates of the following body
systems in the Listing of Impairments
(listings) in our regulations:
Musculoskeletal System, Cardiovascular
System, Digestive System, Skin
Disorders, and Immune System
Disorders. We are making no other
revisions to these body systems in this
final rule. This extension ensures that
we will continue to have the criteria we
need to evaluate impairments in the
affected body systems at step three of
the sequential evaluation processes for
initial claims and continuing disability
reviews.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
November 26, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
We use the listings in appendix 1 to
subpart P of part 404 of 20 CFR at the
third step of the sequential evaluation
process to evaluate claims filed by
adults and children for benefits based
on disability under the Title II and Title
XVI programs.1 20 CFR 404.1520(d),
416.920(d), 416.924(d). The listings are
in two parts: Part A has listings criteria
for adults and Part B has listings criteria
for children. If you are age 18 or over,
1 We also use the listings in the sequential
evaluation processes we use to determine whether
a beneficiary’s disability continues. See 20 CFR
404.1594, 416.994, and 416.994a.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 26, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
we apply the listings criteria in part A
when we assess your impairment or
combination of impairments. If you are
under age 18, we first use the criteria in
part B of the listings when we assess
your impairment(s). If the criteria in
part B do not apply, we may use the
criteria in part A when those criteria
consider the effects of your
impairment(s). 20 CFR 404.1525(b),
416.925(b).
Musculoskeletal System 1.00 and 101.00 ........................
Cardiovascular System 4.00 and 104.00 .........................
Digestive System 5.00 and 105.00 ..................................
Skin Disorders 8.00 and 108.00 .......................................
Immune System Disorders 14.00 and 114.00 ..................
We continue to revise and update the
listings on a regular basis, including
those body systems not affected by this
final rule.2 We intend to update the five
listings affected by this final rule as
necessary based on medical advances as
quickly as possible, but may not be able
to publish final rules revising these
listings by the current expiration dates.
Therefore, we are extending the
expiration dates listed above.
Regulatory Procedures
Justification for Final Rule
We follow the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking
procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 in
promulgating regulations. Section
702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42
U.S.C. 902(a)(5). Generally, the APA
requires that an agency provide prior
notice and opportunity for public
comment before issuing a final
regulation. The APA provides
exceptions to the notice-and-comment
requirements when an agency finds
there is good cause for dispensing with
such procedures because they are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.
We determined that good cause exists
for dispensing with the notice and
public comment procedures. 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B). This final rule only extends
the date on which the five body system
listings will no longer be effective. It
makes no substantive changes to our
rules. Our current regulations 3 provide
that we may extend, revise, or
promulgate the body system listings
again. Therefore, we determined that
2 We last extended the expiration dates of four of
the body system listings affected by this final rule
in December 2017 (82 FR 59514) (Musculoskeletal
System, Cardiovascular System. Digestive System,
and Skin Disorders) and we revised the Immune
System Disorders in December 2016 (81 FR 86915).
We proposed rules for evaluating Digestive
disorders and Skin disorders in July 2019 (84 FR
35936) and for evaluating Musculoskeletal
disorders in May 2018 (83 FR 20646).
3 See the first sentence of appendix 1 to subpart
P of part 404 of 20 CFR.
15:52 Nov 25, 2019
In this final rule, we are extending the
dates on which the listings for the
following five body systems will no
longer be effective as set out in the
following chart:

opportunity for prior comment is
unnecessary, and we are issuing this
regulation as a final rule.
In addition, for the reasons cited
above, we find good cause for
dispensing with the 30-day delay in the
effective date of this final rule. 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3). We are not making any
substantive changes to the listings in
these body systems. Without an
extension of the expiration dates for
these listings, we will not have the
criteria we need to assess medical
impairments in the five body systems at
step three of the sequential evaluation
processes. We therefore find it is in the
public interest to make this final rule
effective on the publication date.
Executive Order 12866, as
Supplemented by Executive Order
13563
We consulted with the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
determined that this final rule does not
meet the requirements for a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866, as supplemented by Executive
Order 13563. Therefore, OMB did not
review it. We also determined that this
final rule meets the plain language
requirement of Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
We certify that this final rule does not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
because it affects only individuals.
Therefore, a regulatory flexibility
analysis is not required under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended.
Executive Order 13771
This regulation does not impose novel
costs on the public and as such is
considered an exempt regulatory action
under E.O. 13771.
Paperwork Reduction Act

for the medical listings cited above, but
does not create any new or affect any

SUMMARY:
Background
Section 11061 of the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act, Public Law 115–97, 131 Stat.
2504 (2017) (TCJA) amended section
2010(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
(Code) to provide that, for decedents
dying and gifts made after December 31,
2017, and before January 1, 2026, the
basic exclusion amount (BEA) is
increased by $5 million to $10 million
as adjusted for inflation (increased
BEA). On January 1, 2026, the BEA will
revert to $5 million as adjusted for
inflation.

to the Estate Tax Regulations (26 CFR

part 20) relating to the BEA described in
section 2010(c)(3) of the Code. On
November 23, 2018, a notice of
proposed rulemaking (proposed
regulations) under section 2010 (REG–
106706–18) was published in the
Federal Register (83 FR 59343). No
public hearing was requested or held.
Written or electronic comments
responding to the proposed regulations
were received. After consideration of all
the comments, this Treasury decision
adopts the proposed regulations with
certain revisions. Comments and
revisions to the proposed regulations are
discussed in the Summary of Comments
and Explanation of Revisions.
The final regulations adopt the special
rule provided in the proposed
regulations in cases where the portion of
the credit against the estate tax that is
based on the BEA is less than the sum
of the credit amounts attributable to the
BEA allowable in computing gift tax
payable within the meaning of section
2001(b)(2). In that case, the rule
provides that the portion of the credit
against the net tentative estate tax that
is attributable to the BEA is based upon
the greater of those two credit amounts.
The rule thus would ensure that the
estate of a decedent is not
inappropriately taxed with respect to
gifts that were sheltered from gift tax by
the increased BEA when made.
Summary of Comments and
Explanation of Revisions
1. Overview
Most commenters agreed that the
special rule would avoid an unfair
situation that otherwise could
effectively vitiate the statutory increase
in the BEA during the period January 1,
2018, through December 31, 2025
(increased BEA period). These
commenters also acknowledged that the
special rule would provide important
clarification for taxpayers. However, one
commenter suggested an alternate
approach and two others disputed the
regulatory authority to adopt the special
rule. Some commenters suggested
technical changes. All of the other
comments were requests for clarification
of the interaction of the special rule
with the inflation adjustments to the
BEA, the deceased spousal unused
exclusion (DSUE) amount, and the
generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax,
and requests for additional examples.
These comments are discussed in this
preamble.
2. Inflation Adjustments
Several commenters noted that the
example in the proposed regulations
does not reflect the annual inflation
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
64995
adjustments to the BEA, and requested
clarification of the effect of those
adjustments on the application of the
special rule. The inflation adjustments
were not included in that example for
purposes of more simply illustrating the
special rule. However, by definition, the
term BEA refers to the amount of that
exclusion as adjusted for inflation, so
the Department of the Treasury
(Treasury Department) and the IRS agree
that examples including inflation
adjustments would be appropriate.
Accordingly, the examples in the final
regulations reflect hypothetical
inflation-adjusted BEA amounts.
One commenter requested
confirmation that under the special rule
a decedent does not benefit from the
increased BEA, including inflation
adjustments, to the extent it is in excess
of the amount of gifts the decedent
actually made, and agreed that this is
the appropriate interpretation of the
statute. Specifically, the increased BEA
as adjusted for inflation is a ‘‘use or
lose’’ benefit and is available to a
decedent who survives the increased
BEA period only to the extent the
decedent ‘‘used’’ it by making gifts
during the increased BEA period. The
final regulations include Example 2 in
§ 20.2010–1(c)(2)(ii) to demonstrate that
the application of the special rule is
based on gifts actually made, and thus
is inapplicable to a decedent who did
not make gifts in excess of the date of
death BEA as adjusted for inflation.
Commenters also sought confirmation
that under the special rule a decedent
dying after 2025 will not benefit from
post-2025 inflation adjustments to the
BEA to the extent the decedent made
gifts in an amount sufficient to cause the
total BEA allowable in the computation
of gift tax payable to exceed the date of
death BEA as adjusted for inflation. This
is confirmed in Example 1 of § 20.2010–
1(c)(2)(i) of these final regulations. In
computing the estate tax, the BEA, in
effect, is applied first against the
decedent’s gifts as taxable gifts were
made. To the extent any BEA remains at
death, it is applied against the
decedent’s estate. Therefore, in the case
of a decedent who had made gifts in an
amount sufficient to cause the total BEA
allowable in the computation of gift tax
payable to equal or exceed the date of
death BEA as adjusted for inflation,
there is no remaining BEA available to
be applied to reduce the estate tax. The
special rule does not change the fivestep estate tax computation required
under sections 2001 and 2010 of the
Code or the fact that, under that
computation, only the credit that
remains after computing gift tax payable
may be applied against the estate tax.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
We use the listings in appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of 20
CFR at the third step of the sequential evaluation process to evaluate
claims filed by adults and children for benefits based on disability
under the Title II and Title XVI programs.\1\ 20 CFR 404.1520(d),
416.920(d), 416.924(d). The listings are in two parts: Part A has
listings criteria for adults and Part B has listings criteria for
children. If you are age 18 or over,
[[Page 64994]]
we apply the listings criteria in part A when we assess your impairment
or combination of impairments. If you are under age 18, we first use
the criteria in part B of the listings when we assess your
impairment(s). If the criteria in part B do not apply, we may use the
criteria in part A when those criteria consider the effects of your
impairment(s). 20 CFR 404.1525(b), 416.925(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ We also use the listings in the sequential evaluation
processes we use to determine whether a beneficiary's disability
continues. See 20 CFR 404.1594, 416.994, and 416.994a.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation of Changes
In this final rule, we are extending the dates on which the
listings for the following five body systems will no longer be
effective as set out in the following chart:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
We continue to revise and update the listings on a regular basis,
including those body systems not affected by this final rule.\2\ We
intend to update the five listings affected by this final rule as
necessary based on medical advances as quickly as possible, but may not
be able to publish final rules revising these listings by the current
expiration dates. Therefore, we are extending the expiration dates
listed above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ We last extended the expiration dates of four of the body
system listings affected by this final rule in December 2017 (82 FR
59514) (Musculoskeletal System, Cardiovascular System. Digestive
System, and Skin Disorders) and we revised the Immune System
Disorders in December 2016 (81 FR 86915). We proposed rules for
evaluating Digestive disorders and Skin disorders in July 2019 (84
FR 35936) and for evaluating Musculoskeletal disorders in May 2018
(83 FR 20646).

Regulatory Procedures
Justification for Final Rule
We follow the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking
procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 in promulgating regulations.
Section 702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 902(a)(5).
Generally, the APA requires that an agency provide prior notice and
opportunity for public comment before issuing a final regulation. The
APA provides exceptions to the notice-and-comment requirements when an
agency finds there is good cause for dispensing with such procedures
because they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.
We determined that good cause exists for dispensing with the notice
and public comment procedures. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This final rule only
extends the date on which the five body system listings will no longer
be effective. It makes no substantive changes to our rules. Our current
regulations \3\ provide that we may extend, revise, or promulgate the
body system listings again. Therefore, we determined that opportunity
for prior comment is unnecessary, and we are issuing this regulation as
a final rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See the first sentence of appendix 1 to subpart P of part
404 of 20 CFR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, for the reasons cited above, we find good cause for
dispensing with the 30-day delay in the effective date of this final
rule. 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). We are not making any substantive changes to
the listings in these body systems. Without an extension of the
expiration dates for these listings, we will not have the criteria we
need to assess medical impairments in the five body systems at step
three of the sequential evaluation processes. We therefore find it is
in the public interest to make this final rule effective on the
publication date.
Executive Order 12866, as Supplemented by Executive Order 13563
We consulted with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
determined that this final rule does not meet the requirements for a
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563. Therefore, OMB did not review
it. We also determined that this final rule meets the plain language
requirement of Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
We certify that this final rule does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it
affects only individuals. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis
is not required under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended.
Executive Order 13771
This regulation does not impose novel costs on the public and as
such is considered an exempt regulatory action under E.O. 13771.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule only extends the date for the medical listings
cited above, but does not create any new or affect any existing
collections, or otherwise change any content of the currently published
rules. Accordingly, it does not impose any burdens under the Paperwork
Reduction Act, and does not require further OMB approval.
