Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 45 / Friday, March 6, 2020 / Proposed Rules
Background
The DoD requested decommissioning
of the McChord, WA, VOR due to
ongoing maintenance issues, but have
agreed to continue operation of the
TACAN portion of the NAVAID to
support the Distance Measuring
Equipment (DME) needs of NexGen
procedures in the area. The remaining
ground-based NAVAID coverage in the
area is insufficient to enable the
continuity of the affected airway. As
such, proposed modification to V–187
would result in a gap in the ATS route
structure. To overcome the gap in V–
187, instrument flight rules (IFR) traffic
could use VOR Federal airway V–298 at
THICK INT (INT Yakima 331° (T) 310°
(M) and Ellensburg, 274°(T) 253°(M)
radials) to BEEZR INT. Follow V–2 or
V–298 northwest bound to Seattle, WA
VORTAC, and then southwest bound on
V–27 to CARRO INT. From there, follow
V–165 or V–287 southbound to Olympia
VORTAC and resume V–187 from there.
Alternatively, aircraft could follow V–25
from Ellensburg, WA, VOR southbound
to Yakima, WA, VORTAC and intercept
V–204 westbound to Olympia, WA,
VORTAC and resume V–187 from there.
Additionally, IFR traffic could file point
to point through the affected area using
fixes that will remain in place, or
receive air traffic control (ATC) radar
vectors through the area. Furthermore,
the loss of the segment on V–187 will
be mitigated through the establishment
of the T–137 airway for RNAV equipped
aircraft, which overlays the gap in V–
187. Visual flight rules pilots who elect
to navigate via the airways through the
affected area could also take advantage
of the adjacent VOR Federal airways or
ATC services listed previously.
lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with PROPOSALS
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 to modify VOR Federal
airway V–187. Full route description is
in ‘‘The Proposed Amendment’’ section
of this notice.
The proposed ATS route change is
outlined below.
V–187: V–187 currently extends
between the Socorro, NM, VORTAC to
the Astoria, OR, VOR. V–187 will be
amended on the segment between the
intersection of Yakima 310° (M) 331° (T)
and Ellensburg 253° (M) 274° (T) radials
and the Olympia, WA, VOR. The
proposed amendment would stop at
THICK intersection (INT Yakima, WA
310°(M) 331°(T) and Ellensburg, WA,
253°(M) 274°(T) radials) and then
resume at the Olympia, WA VOR. The
unaffected portion of the existing route
will remain as charted.

Order 7400.11D dated August 8, 2019,
and effective September 15, 2019, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

listed in this document will be
subsequently published in the Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace

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 Department of
Transportation (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.

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) Part 71 by amending the Class
E airspace area, designated as a surface
area, via a reduction of the area from a
6.1-mile radius to a 5.2-mile radius and
adding an extension northeast of the
airport. This area would be described as
follows: That airspace extending
upward from the surface within a 5.2mile radius of the airport, and 2.4 miles
each side of the 026° bearing from the
airport, extending from the 5.2-mile
radius to 6.8 miles northeast of the
Dillon Airport.
Also, this action proposes to amend
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface, by
reconfiguring the area from a 9.2-mile
radius of the airport to a 5.2-mile radius
of the airport, with rectangular
extensions southwest and north of the
airport. This area would be described as
follows: That airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
within 5.2-mile radius of the airport,
and within 3 miles each side of the 205°
bearing from the airport, extending from
the 5.2-mile radius to 9.9 miles
southwest of the airport, and within
eight miles west and four miles east of
the 005° bearing extending from the 5.2mile radius to 16 miles north of the
Dillon Airport.
Additionally, this action proposes to
amend the Class E airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface from a 45-mile radius of the
airport to an 8-mile radius of the airport.
Lastly, this action proposes an
administrative correction to the Class E
airspace legal description. The Class E
airspace, designated as a surface area,
should be full time. The following two
sentences do not accurately represent
the time of use for the airspace and need
to be removed: ‘‘This Class E airspace
area is effective during specific dates
and times established in advance by a
Notice to Airmen. The effective date and
time will thereafter be continuously
published in the Airport/Facility
Directory.’’
Class E2 and Class E5 airspace
designations are published in
paragraphs 6002 and 6005, respectively,
of FAA Order 7400.11D, dated August 8,
2019, and effective September 15, 2019,

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 will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

I. Introduction
In 1999,1 Congress enacted the
Gramm Leach Bliley Act (‘‘GLB’’ or
‘‘GLBA’’). The GLBA provides a
framework for regulating the privacy
and data security practices of a broad
range of financial institutions. Among
other things, the GLBA requires
financial institutions to implement
security safeguards for customer
information. Pursuant to the GLBA, the
Commission promulgated the
Safeguards Rule in 2002. The
Safeguards Rule became effective on
May 23, 2003.
The Safeguards Rule requires a
financial institution to develop,
implement, and maintain a

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend 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 Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending the Class E airspace area,
designated as a surface area, via a reduction of the area from a 6.1-
mile radius to a 5.2-mile radius and adding an extension northeast of
the airport. This area would be described as follows: That airspace
extending upward from the surface within a 5.2-mile radius of the
airport, and 2.4 miles each side of the 026[deg] bearing from the
airport, extending from the 5.2-mile radius to 6.8 miles northeast of
the Dillon Airport.
Also, this action proposes to amend Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface, by reconfiguring the area from
a 9.2-mile radius of the airport to a 5.2-mile radius of the airport,
with rectangular extensions southwest and north of the airport. This
area would be described as follows: That airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface within 5.2-mile radius of the airport, and
within 3 miles each side of the 205[deg] bearing from the airport,
extending from the 5.2-mile radius to 9.9 miles southwest of the
airport, and within eight miles west and four miles east of the
005[deg] bearing extending from the 5.2-mile radius to 16 miles north
of the Dillon Airport.
Additionally, this action proposes to amend the Class E airspace
extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface from a 45-mile
radius of the airport to an 8-mile radius of the airport.
Lastly, this action proposes an administrative correction to the
Class E airspace legal description. The Class E airspace, designated as
a surface area, should be full time. The following two sentences do not
accurately represent the time of use for the airspace and need to be
removed: ``This Class E airspace area is effective during specific
dates and times established in advance by a Notice to Airmen. The
effective date and time will thereafter be continuously published in
the Airport/Facility Directory.''
Class E2 and Class E5 airspace designations are published in
paragraphs 6002 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11D, dated
August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019,
[[Page 13082]]
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.
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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would 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.
