7400.11E is publicly available as listed

jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
The Proposal
The FAA proposes an amendment to
14 CFR part 71 to amend Class D
airspace by removing (previously called
Airport/Facility Directory) from the
description, as it is unnecessary, and
Class E surface airspace in Savannah,
GA by updating the dividing line
separating the airspace between
Savannah/Hilton Head International
Airport and Hunter AAF.
Class D and E airspace designations
are published in Paragraphs 5000, and
6002, 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 designation
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 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:10 May 17, 2021
Jkt 253001
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.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO or Office)
proposes to amend the rules of practice
in trademark cases to implement
provisions of the Trademark
Modernization Act of 2020. The
proposed rule establishes ex parte
expungement and reexamination
proceedings for cancellation of a
registration when the required use in
commerce of the registered mark has not
been made; provides for a new nonuse
ground for cancellation before the
Trademark Trial and Appeal Board;
establishes flexible Office action
response periods; and amends the
existing letter-of-protest rule to indicate
that letter-of-protest determinations are
final and non-reviewable. The USPTO
also proposes to set fees for petitions
requesting institution of ex parte
expungement and reexamination
proceedings, and for requests to extend
Office action response deadlines.
Amendments are also proposed for the
rules concerning the suspension of
USPTO proceedings and the rules
governing attorney recognition in
trademark matters. Finally, a new rule is
proposed to address procedures
regarding court orders cancelling or
affecting registrations.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before July 19, 2021.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and

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 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.
