SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for This Rulemaking The FAA’s authority to issue rule regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it amends Class E airspace in Nashville, TN to support IFR operations in the area. E:\FR\FM\01DER1.SGM 01DER1 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 231 / Tuesday, December 1, 2020 / Rules and Regulations History The FAA published a notice of prosed rulemaking in the Federal Register (85 FR 55627, September 9, 2020) for Docket No. FAA–2020–0701 to establish Class D and Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D airspace for John C. Tune Airport, Nashville, TN, as a new air traffic control tower shall service the airport. Also, the FAA proposed to increase the existing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and update the geographic coordinates of several airports in the area. In addition, the FAA proposed to establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Vanderbilt University Hospital Heliport, as instrument approaches have been designed for the heliport. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 5000, 6004 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

Also, the FAA increases the existing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, from 8-miles to 8.6-miles, due to a reevaluation of the airspace. In addition, the FAA updates the geographic coordinates of the airport, as well as Music City Executive Airport (formerly Sumner County Regional Airport), Lebanon Municipal Airport, and Murfreesboro Municipal VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:24 Nov 30, 2020 Jkt 253001 Airport, to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. Also, the FAA establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Vanderbilt University Hospital Heliport, as instrument approach procedures have been designed for the heliport. Finally, subsequent to publication of the NPRM, the FAA found that Sumner County Regional Airport is now Music City Executive Airport. This action updates the name of the airport. 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. 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 an air navigation, it is 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. 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.

VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:24 Nov 30, 2020 Jkt 253001 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On August 27, 2020, the Department of the Treasury (‘‘Treasury Department’’) and the IRS published proposed regulations (REG–124737–19) under sections 245A, 951A, and 6038 in the Federal Register (85 FR 53098) (the ‘‘proposed regulations’’). The Treasury Department and the IRS received one written comment with respect to the proposed regulations; however, the comment was not substantively related to, and did not suggest any revisions to, the proposed regulations. Therefore, this preamble does not address the comment. The written comment is available at www.regulations.gov or upon request. A public hearing on the proposed regulations was not held because there were no requests to speak. This document contains amendments to 26 CFR part 1 under sections 245A, 951A, and 6038 (the ‘‘final regulations’’). Any term used but not defined in this preamble has the meaning given to it in the final regulations or the preamble to the proposed regulations. The effective date of these regulations is delayed until January 12, 2021, to provide for the orderly amendment of § 1.951A–2 by TD 9922, 85 FR 71998, published on November 12, 2020, and with a delayed effective date of January 11, 2021. The changes to § 1.951A–2 made in these regulations are to the regulation text as amended by TD 9922. Explanation of Revisions I. Overview The extraordinary disposition rule and the disqualified basis rule generally address certain transactions, involving related controlled foreign corporations (‘‘CFCs’’) of a section 245A shareholder, that were not subject to current U.S. tax solely by reason of having occurred during the disqualified period. In general, as to the section 245A shareholder, the extraordinary disposition rule ensures that earnings and profits generated by such a transaction are subject to U.S. tax when distributed as a dividend, and the disqualified basis rule ensures that basis generated by the transaction does not offset or reduce income that would otherwise be subject to U.S. tax at the section 245A shareholder-level under section 951(a)(1)(A) or 951A(a), or at the CFC-level under section 882(a) (that is, as income effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States). See §§ 1.245A–5 and 1.951A–2(c)(5). PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Absent a coordination mechanism, the extraordinary disposition rule and the disqualified basis rule could give rise to excess taxation as to a section 245A shareholder, because the earnings and profits to which the extraordinary disposition rule applies (‘‘extraordinary disposition E&P’’), and the basis to which the disqualified basis rule applies (‘‘disqualified basis’’), are generally a function of a single amount of gain. The proposed regulations coordinate the extraordinary disposition rule and the disqualified basis rule through two operative rules: The DQB reduction rule, which reduces disqualified basis in certain cases, and the EDA reduction rule, which reduces an extraordinary disposition account in certain cases. See proposed §§ 1.245A–7 and 1.245A–8. These operative rules also apply to coordinate the extraordinary disposition rule and the disqualified payment rule, which addresses transactions similar to those to which the disqualified basis rule applies. This rulemaking finalizes the proposed regulations, with one revision, as discussed in part II of this Explanation of Revisions. II. The DQB Reduction Rule—Treatment of Prior Extraordinary Disposition Amounts Under the proposed regulations, the DQB reduction rule generally applies when, as to a section 245A shareholder, extraordinary disposition E&P become subject to U.S. tax by reason of the application of the extraordinary disposition rule to a distribution of the extraordinary disposition E&P. See proposed §§ 1.245A–7(b) and 1.245A– 8(b). In general, the DQB reduction rule provides that basis attributable to gain to which the extraordinary disposition E&P are also attributable is no longer disqualified basis. Id. The preamble to the proposed regulations noted that the Treasury Department and the IRS were studying whether the DQB reduction rule should also apply by reason of a prior extraordinary disposition amount described in § 1.245A–5(c)(3)(i)(D)(1)(i) through (iv). The preamble requested comments on this matter, but none were received. Such a prior extraordinary disposition amount generally represents extraordinary disposition E&P that have become subject to U.S. tax as to a section 245A shareholder other than by direct application of the extraordinary disposition rule—for example, extraordinary disposition E&P that give rise to an income inclusion to the section 245A shareholder by reason of sections 951(a)(1)(B) and 956(a). Under the extraordinary disposition rule, the E:\FR\FM\01DER1.SGM 01DER1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rule regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106 
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's 
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described 
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, 
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of 
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority 
as it amends Class E airspace in Nashville, TN to support IFR 
operations in the area.

[[Page 76959]]

History

    The FAA published a notice of prosed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (85 FR 55627, September 9, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0701 
to establish Class D and Class E airspace designated as an extension to 
Class D airspace for John C. Tune Airport, Nashville, TN, as a new air 
traffic control tower shall service the airport. Also, the FAA proposed 
to increase the existing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface, and update the geographic coordinates of 
several airports in the area. In addition, the FAA proposed to 
establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface for Vanderbilt University Hospital Heliport, as instrument 
approaches have been designed for the heliport.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No 
comments were received.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
Paragraph 5000, 6004 and 6005, respectively, 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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends 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 routes, and reporting 
points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 establishes Class D and Class E airspace designated as an 
extension to Class D airspace for John C. Tune Airport, Nashville, TN, 
as a new air traffic control tower shall service the airport. Also, the 
FAA increases the existing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface, from 8-miles to 8.6-miles, due to a 
reevaluation of the airspace. In addition, the FAA updates the 
geographic coordinates of the airport, as well as Music City Executive 
Airport (formerly Sumner County Regional Airport), Lebanon Municipal 
Airport, and Murfreesboro Municipal Airport, to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database. Also, the FAA establishes Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Vanderbilt 
University Hospital Heliport, as instrument approach procedures have 
been designed for the heliport. Finally, subsequent to publication of 
the NPRM, the FAA found that Sumner County Regional Airport is now 
Music City Executive Airport. This action updates the name of the 
airport.
    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. 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 an air navigation, it is 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.

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.
