Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 183 / Friday, September 24, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
concern and will take steps when
reviewing applications to ensure that
applications from smaller tribes receive
proper attention. Because economic
development need is always an
important consideration in funding
decisions, EDA does not believe that
larger tribes with associated for-profit
entities will necessarily have an
advantage over smaller tribes in the
competitive process. Nonetheless, EDA
will monitor the distribution of funding
and make adjustments to its application
review process, as necessary, to ensure
that funding is distributed equitably.
Other commenters expressed
particular concern that the change
provided in this final rule would make
Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs)
eligible for EDA funding. The eligibility
of ANCs for EDA funding is governed by
the language of PWEDA, however, and
is therefore not within the scope of this
action and not affected by this final rule.
Based on the Supreme Court’s recent
decision in Yellen v. Confederated
Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation, 121
S. Ct. 2434 (2021), EDA has determined
that ANCs fall within PWEDA’s
definition of ‘‘Indian Tribe.’’
Expanding eligibility of Native
American communities is urgent given
the current availability of funds for such
communities under the American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 (Pub.
L. 117–2). Expanding eligibility within
Native American communities as
accomplished by this rule is critically
necessary to ensure the benefits of
ARPA effectively reach those
communities and that they are able to
equally take part in the economic
recovery from the pandemic.
Because prior notice and an
opportunity for public comment are not
required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, or
any other law, the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are
inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory
flexibility analysis has not been
prepared.
Regulation Change
This final rule is not major under the
Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801
et seq.).
To enable for-profits that are wholly
owned by, and established for the
benefit of, the Indian Tribe to be eligible
for EDA Tribal funding, this final rule
changes EDA’s regulation by deleting
the first instance of ‘‘non-profit’’ where
it appears in the second sentence of the
definition at 13 CFR 300.3, so that ‘‘nonprofit’’ no longer modifies the type of
‘‘Indian corporation (restricted to
Indians)’’ that is eligible. This final rule
also adds ‘‘, corporation’’ in the proviso
to the second sentence to ensure that
any such corporation must be wholly
owned by, and established for the
benefit of, the Tribe.
As noted above, this change has no
effect on the eligibility of ANCs, which
are separately identified in PWEDA’s
definition of ‘‘Indian Tribe.’’
Classification
Administrative Procedure Act and
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), there
is good cause to waive prior notice and
an opportunity for public comment on
this action because EDA formally
consulted AINs on this change in
accordance with Executive Order 13125,
and AINs are the only affected entities.
Additional public comment would
therefore serve no purpose and is
unnecessary. There is also good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to waive the
30-day delay in effectiveness.

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘PRA’’)
requires that a Federal agency consider
the impact of paperwork and other
information collection burdens imposed
on the public and, under the provisions
of PRA section 3507(d), obtain approval
from OMB for each collection of
information it conducts, sponsors, or
requires through regulations.
Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, no person is required to respond to,
nor shall any person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
PRA unless that collection displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number.
This final rule does not require the
collection of any information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
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 establishes
Class D airspace and amends Class E
airspace for Jack Edwards National
Airport, Gulf Shores, AL.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (86 FR 37939, July 19, 2021) for
Docket No. FAA–2021–0536 to establish
Class D airspace and amend Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface for Jack Edwards
National Airport, Gulf Shores, AL, as a
VerDate Sep<11>2014

new air traffic control tower will service
the airport. This action also proposed
updating the airport’s name and
geographic coordinates under the
existing Class E airspace.
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
Paragraphs 5000, and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11F,
dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and 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 JO
7400.11F, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 10,
2021, and effective September 15, 2021.
FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. FAA Order JO
7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E
airspace areas, air traffic routes, and
reporting points.
The Rule
The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71
by establishing Class D airspace for Jack
Edwards National Airport, Gulf Shores,
AL, as a new air traffic control tower
will service the airport. Also, an
airspace evaluation resulted in
increasing the radius of the existing
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface to 6.8 miles
from 6.5 miles. In addition, the FAA is
updating the name and geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
Finally, the city name is removed from
the airspace header under the existing
Class E airspace to comply with the
7400.2M. These changes are necessary
for continued safety and management of
IFR operations in the area.
FAA Order JO 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
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 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.
