advantage of the air traffic services
previously listed.
Prior to this NPRM, the FAA
published a rule for Docket No. FAA–
2020–0008 in the Federal Register (85
FR 26601; May 5, 2020), amending VOR
Federal airway V–178 by removing the
airway segment between the
Cunningham, KY, VOR/DME and the
New Hope, KY, VOR/DME. The airway
amendment, effective July 16, 2020, is
included in this NPRM. Additionally,
the FAA published a second rule prior
to this NPRM for Docket No. FAA–
2020–0002 in the Federal Register (85
FR 28852, May 14, 2020), further
amending V–178 by removing the
airway segment between the
Farmington, MO, VOR/Tactical Air
Navigation (VORTAC) and the
Cunningham, KY, VOR/DME. This
airway amendment, effective July 16,
2020, is also included in this NPRM.

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 to amend VOR Federal
airways V–5 and V–178, and remove V–
513. This proposal would also correct
the state location for the Choo Choo
VORTAC to read Tennessee (TN). The
planned decommissioning of the VOR
portion of the New Hope, KY, VOR/
DME has made this action necessary.
The proposed VOR Federal airway
actions are described below.
V–5: V–5 currently extends between
the Pecan, GA, VOR/DME and the
Appleton, OH, VORTAC. The FAA
proposes to remove the airway segment
between the Bowling Green, KY,
VORTAC and the Louisville, KY,
VORTAC. Additional changes to other
portions of the airway have been
proposed in a separate NPRM for Docket
No. FAA–2020–0188 that published in
the Federal Register (85 FR16585,
March 24, 2020). The unaffected
portions of the existing airway would
remain as charted.
V–178: V–178 currently extends
between the Hallsville, MO, VORTAC
and the Farmington, MO, VORTAC; and
between the New Hope, KY, VOR/DME
and the Bluefield, WV, VOR/DME. The
FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment between the New Hope, KY,
VOR/DME and the Lexington, KY, VOR/
DME. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway remain as charted.
V–513: V–513 currently extends
between the Livingston, TN, VOR/DME
and the Louisville, KY, VORTAC. The
FAA proposes to remove the airway in
its entirety.

effective September 15, 2019, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

this document would be subsequently

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.
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.

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 proposes an amendment to
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) part 71 to amend Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Guntersville Municipal
Airport-Joe Starnes Field, Guntersville,
AL, from a 6.3-mile radius to a 7-mile
radius. In addition, the FAA proposes to
update the airport’s name and
geographic coordinates to coincide with
the FAA’s aeronautical database.
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.
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

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.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking;

AGENCY:
The United States Copyright
Office is proposing to amend certain
regulations governing the recordation of
notices of termination. Along with a
parallel rulemaking focused on
modernizing document recordation in
conjunction with development of the
Office’s online recordation system, the
proposed amendments are intended to
improve efficiency in the processing of
such notices and to provide additional
guidance to the public in this area. In
addition, the Office is providing notice
of changes to its examination practices
for certain notices of termination that
pertain to multiple grants, and soliciting
public comment on two additional
subjects of inquiry relating to notices of
termination.
DATES: Written comments must be
received no later than 11:59 p.m.
Eastern Time on July 6, 2020.
ADDRESSES: For reasons of government
efficiency, the Copyright Office is using
the regulations.gov system for the
submission and posting of public
comments in this proceeding. All
comments are therefore to be submitted
electronically through regulations.gov.
Specific instructions for submitting
comments are available on the

recordation process by updating
regulations governing the submission of
documents to the Office for
recordation.1 This regulatory update
was initiated in anticipation of
launching a fully electronic, online
recordation system in the future. That
system is currently under development,
and a limited public pilot was launched
in April 2020.
The Office is issuing this separate
notice of proposed rulemaking
(‘‘NPRM’’) to seek public comment on
proposed updates to its regulations
governing recordation of notices of
termination.2 Implementing these
proposed amendments will update the
regulatory framework for notices of
termination before features permitting
electronic submission of notices are
developed for the online recordation
system. In addition, this NPRM clarifies
Office examination practices relating to
notices of termination that contain
multiple grants. Finally, the Office
invites public comment on two subjects
of inquiry: (1) Whether the Office
should develop an optional form or
template to assist remitters in creating
and serving notices of termination; and
(2) whether the Office should consider
regulatory updates to address concerns
about third-party agents failing to
properly serve and file notices on behalf
of authors.3
A. Current Rules and Practices for
Recording Notices of Termination
In enacting the Copyright Act of 1976,
Congress created a process for authors to
reclaim previously-granted rights in
their works by terminating grants after
a period of years has elapsed. To do so,
authors, or their heirs or duly
authorized agents, must serve a notice of
1 See Modernizing Copyright Recordation, 82 FR
52213 (Nov. 13, 2017).
2 See 37 CFR 201.10.
3 This notice is focused on proposed updates to
Office practices for recording notices of
termination, and is without comment upon
congressional and public interest in other
substantive issues concerning the termination
statutes. See, e.g., Hearing on Mark-up of H.R. 5283
before the H. Comm. on the Judiciary, 115th Cong.
45–46 (2018) (statement of Rep. Zoe Lofgren)
(expressing support for expanding termination
rights to legacy recording artists who contributed to
pre-72 sound recordings); id. at 53 (statement of
Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee) (same); Moral Rights,
Termination Rights, Resale Royalty, and Copyright
Term: Hearing before the Subcomm. on the Courts,
Intellectual Prop., & the internet of the H. Comm.
on the Judiciary, 113th Cong. 2–4 (2014) (statements

termination issues generally); U.S. Copyright Office,

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 proposes an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at Guntersville Municipal Airport-Joe
Starnes Field, Guntersville, AL, from a 6.3-mile radius to a 7-mile
radius. In addition, the FAA proposes to update the airport's name and
geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database.
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.
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 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.
