Proposed Amendment Class E Airspace; Elkhart, KS, 67325-67327 [2020-22914]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 205 / Thursday, October 22, 2020 / Proposed Rules description; updating the name of the airport (previously Karnes County Airport) to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; and removing the city associated with the airport to comply with changes to FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters. This action is the result of airspace reviews caused by the decommissioning of the Quitman and Three Rivers VORs, which provided navigation information for the instrument procedures these airports, as part of the VOR MON Program. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, 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.

Background RIN 9000–AO04 Federal Acquisition Regulation: Application of Micro-Purchase Threshold To Task and Delivery Orders Department of Defense (DoD), General Services Administration (GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement a section of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 that raises the threshold for fair opportunity on certain task and delivery orders to the micropurchase threshold. DATES: Interested parties should submit written comments at the address shown below on or before December 21, 2020 to be considered in the formation of the final rule.

Instructions: Please submit comments only and cite ‘‘FAR Case 2020–004’’ in all correspondence related to this case. All comments received will be posted without change to https:// SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:41 Oct 21, 2020 Jkt 253001 DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the FAR to implement section 826 of the NDAA for FY 2020 (Pub. L. 116–92) which increases the threshold for requiring fair opportunity on orders under multiple-award contracts from $2,500 to the ‘‘micro-purchase threshold’’. The fair opportunity to compete at FAR 16.505(b)(1) applies to orders over the threshold unless an exception at FAR 16.505(b)(2) applies. The FAR threshold at 16.505 is currently $3,500, as a result of inflation adjustments in accordance with FAR 1.109. This change applies the wordbased threshold to ensure continued alignment with any future changes to the thresholds. FAR Case 2018–004 was published July 2, 2020 (85 FR 40064) with an effective date of August 31, 2020. It raised the micro-purchase threshold, as defined at FAR 2.101, to $10,000. II. Discussion and Analysis FAR section 16.505 currently requires contracting officers to provide each awardee a fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $3,500 under multiple-award deliveryorder or task-order contracts unless an exception applies. This rule proposes to change the threshold for requiring fair opportunity from $3,500 to the ‘‘micropurchase threshold’’ at FAR 16.505(b)(1)(i), 16.505(b)(2)(i), and 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(A). While the rule does not prohibit a contracting officer from providing fair opportunity to each awardee at or below the micro-purchase threshold, the rule requires contracting officers to provide fair opportunity for orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold unless an exception applies. PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 67327 III. Applicability to Contracts at or Below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) and for Commercial Items, Including Commercially Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Items This proposed rule does not create any new provisions or clauses, nor does it change the applicability of any existing provisions or clauses included in solicitations and contracts valued at or below the SAT, or for commercial items, including COTS items. IV. Expected Cost Savings DoD, GSA and NASA have performed a regulatory cost analysis for this proposed rule. This rule is expected to reduce the public burden because the threshold increase will reduce costs to submit an offer for the unsuccessful awardees who participate in fair opportunity competitions for orders under FAR part 16. DoD, GSA, and NASA recognize some awardees may be impacted by a reduction in the number of opportunities an awardee may have to receive an award of a delivery or task order through fair opportunity. Using Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) data from FY 2017 through FY 2019 for FAR part 16 task and delivery orders awarded using fair opportunity between $3,500 and $10,000, the average number of fair opportunity task or delivery orders under FAR part 16 procedures is approximately 9,800 orders annually. We estimate that the Government receives an average of three offers for each of the 9,800 task or delivery orders, resulting in an estimated 19,600 (9,800 × 2) unsuccessful offers. We assume there are costs to submit the offers for the estimated 19,600 unsuccessful offers, which will be eliminated by this rule. We estimate the public cost savings to be $266,070 annually using a fully burdened GS–12 step 5 salary from 2019 (19,600 offers × 0.25 hour × $54.30). DoD, GSA and NASA recognize that the increase in the micro-purchase threshold (MPT) in FAR Case 2018–004 (84 FR 52420 on October 2, 2019) has resulted in an increased use of the Governmentwide commercial purchase card and a general reduction in the number of FAR part 16 delivery and task orders awarded between $3,500 and $10,000. According to FPDS, there were 12,911 fair opportunity FAR part 16 awards between $3,500 and $10,000 in FY 2017. In contrast, there were 6,421 awards in FY 2019; a drop by almost 50%. This decrease can be attributed to the preference given to the Governmentwide commercial purchase card for procurements under the MPT. While it’s unclear whether there will be E:\FR\FM\22OCP1.SGM 22OCP1

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective 
September 15, 2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed 
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists 
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and 
reporting points.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is 
published yearly and effective on September 15.

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 extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Elkhart-Morton County 
Airport, Elkhart, KS, by removing the Elkhart NDB an associated 
extensions from the airspace legal description.
    This action is due to an airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Elkhart NDB, which provided navigational 
information to the instrument procedures at this airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 
2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designation listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.

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.
