Amendment of the Class D and Class E Airspace; Meridian, MS, 26846-26847 [2020-09479]

Download as PDF 26846 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 88 / Wednesday, May 6, 2020 / Rules and Regulations Paragraph 6002 Class E Airspace Areas Designated as Surface Areas. 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 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 5–6.5a. 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.

[FR Doc. 2020–09479 Filed 5–5–20; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–13–P DEPARTMENT OF STATE 22 CFR Part 122 [Public Notice: 11103] RIN 1400–AF13 International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Temporary Reduction in Certain Registration Fees Department of State. Temporary reduction in certain AGENCY: ACTION: fees. The Department of State is making a temporary change in the Tier I and Tier II and new registrant payment guidelines on the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) website at www.pmddtc.state.gov. These guidelines outline the registration fees charged to persons who engage in the United States in the business of manufacturing, exporting, or temporarily importing defense articles, furnishing defense services, or who engage in brokering activities pursuant to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). This temporary change is in the interest of the security and foreign policy of the United States. Further, it is consistent with the March 13, 2020 declaration by President Trump of a National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID–19) Outbreak and is warranted due to the extraordinary challenges to U.S. defense trade and the health of the Defense Industrial Base as a result of the exceptional and undue hardships and risks to safety caused by the public health emergency related to COVID–19. This temporary reduction in certain fees is intended to help mitigate the economic impact of the COVID–19 public health emergency on U.S. Defense Industrial Base and takes into account the operational requirements of DDTC that the fees fund. DATES: The temporary reduction in fees was effective May 1, 2020, and shall expire on April 30, 2021, unless modified by a subsequent notification in the Federal Register. SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:33 May 05, 2020 Neal Kringel, Office of Defense Trade Controls Management, U.S. Department of State, telephone (202) 663–1282, or email DDTCResponseTeam@state.gov. ATTN: Temporary Fee Reduction. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document serves to inform entities registered with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) pursuant to ITAR §§ 122.1(a) and 129.3(a), of a temporary reduction in registration fees charged to entities in Tier I and Tier II and new registrants. (For more information on DDTC registrations, please visit the ‘‘Conduct Business’’ page then select the ‘‘Registration’’ tab and the ‘‘Payment of Registration’’ tab of the DDTC website). ITAR § 122.1(a) provides that any person who engages in the United States in the business of manufacturing or exporting or temporarily importing defense articles, or furnishing defense services, is required to register with DDTC. ITAR § 129.3(a) further provides that, with limited exceptions, any regulated person who engages in brokering activities is required to register with DDTC. ITAR § 122.3 provides that a person who is required to register must do so on an annual basis by submitting a completed Statement of Registration (form DS–2032) and payment of a fee following the payment guidelines available on the DDTC website at www.pmddtc.state.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jkt 250001 What is the purpose of this change? Given the extraordinary impact of the COVID–19 pandemic on the national economy and Defense Industrial Base, DDTC is temporarily reducing registration fees for DDTC registrants in Tier I and Tier II to $500 for registrations whose original expiration date is between May 31, 2020 and April 30, 2021. Also, DDTC is reducing registration fees to $500 for new applicants who submit their registration application between May 1, 2020 and April 30, 2021. All new registrants are in Tier I in the first year. This will allow new registrants and existing registrants in Tiers I and II—including the many small to medium sized enterprises that must register under these tiers—to receive and plan for a reduced registration fee over the course of the coming year. The fee structure for Tier III entities remains unchanged at this time given the higher costs incurred by DDTC in processing the volume of licenses and other relevant submissions by entities in Tier III. Also, Tier III already has a provision for a reduced fee if the fee calculated above is greater than 3 percent of the total value of all PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 26847 applications. In such cases, the fee will be 3 percent of the total value of all applications or $2,750, whichever is greater. These measures were informed by consultations with U.S. industry, in particular the Defense Trade Advisory Group, as well as with DDTC’s interagency partners in the Departments of Defense and Commerce. This temporary reduction in fees shall apply only through April 30, 2021, at which time fees for entities in Tiers I and II will return to the rates that were in effect on April 1, 2020, unless otherwise extended by a subsequent notification in the Federal Register.1 Temporary Fee Reduction For reasons stated above, the State Department amends the fee payment schedule referenced in 22 CFR 122.3 and posted on the DDTC website as follows: ‘‘DDTC is temporarily reducing registration fees for DDTC registrants in Tier I and Tier II to $500 for registrations whose original expiration date is between May 31, 2020 and April 30, 2021. Also, DDTC is reducing registration fees to $500 for new applicants who submit their registration application between May 1, 2020 and April 30, 2021. All new registrants are in Tier I in the first year. This will allow new registrants and existing registrants in Tiers I and II, the majority of which are small and medium-sized enterprises, to receive a reduced registration fee over the course of the coming year. The fee structure for Tier III entities remains unchanged at this time. We anticipate that this temporary reduction in fees for Tier I and Tier II and new registrants will save regulated industry over $20 million over the course of the coming year. The temporary reduction in fees is warranted as a result of the exceptional and undue economic hardship caused by the public health emergency caused by the COVID–19 pandemic.’’ ‘‘This temporary reduction in fees shall apply only through April 30, 2021, at which time fees for entities in Tiers I and II will return to the rates that were in effect on April 1, 2020 unless otherwise extended by a subsequent notice in the Federal Register.’’ Regulatory Findings Administrative Procedure Act The Department of State is of the opinion that controlling the import and export of defense articles and defense services is a military or foreign affairs function of the United States Government and rules implementing 1 Proclamation 9994 of March 13, 2020, 85 FR 15337 (Mar. 18, 2020).
