will address the comments in a
subsequent final rule. Absent significant
modifications to the proposed revisions
requiring republication, the NRC will
not initiate a second comment period on
this action in the event the direct final
rule is withdrawn.
A significant adverse comment is a
comment where the commenter
explains why the rule would be
inappropriate, including challenges to
the rule’s underlying premise or
approach, or would be ineffective or
unacceptable without a change. A
comment is adverse and significant if:
(1) The comment opposes the rule and
provides a reason sufficient to require a
substantive response in a notice-andcomment process. For example, a
substantive response is required when:
(a) The comment causes the NRC to
reevaluate (or reconsider) its position or
conduct additional analysis;
(b) The comment raises an issue
serious enough to warrant a substantive
response to clarify or complete the
record; or
(c) The comment raises a relevant
issue that was not previously addressed
or considered by the NRC.
(2) The comment proposes a change
or an addition to the rule, and it is
apparent that the rule would be
ineffective or unacceptable without
incorporation of the change or addition.
(3) The comment causes the NRC to
make a change (other than editorial) to
the rule.
For a more detailed discussion of the
proposed rule changes and associated
analyses, see the direct final rule
published in the Rules and Regulations
section of this issue of the Federal
Register.
III. Background
Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste
Policy Act of 1982, as amended,
requires that ‘‘[t]he Secretary [of the
Department of Energy] shall establish a
demonstration program, in cooperation
with the private sector, for the dry
storage of spent nuclear fuel at civilian
nuclear power reactor sites, with the
objective of establishing one or more
technologies that the [Nuclear
Regulatory] Commission may, by rule,
approve for use at the sites of civilian
nuclear power reactors without, to the
maximum extent practicable, the need
for additional site-specific approvals by
the Commission.’’ Section 133 of the
Nuclear Waste Policy Act states, in part,
that ‘‘[t]he Commission shall, by rule,
establish procedures for the licensing of
any technology approved by the
Commission under Section 219(a) [sic:
218(a)] for use at the site of any civilian
nuclear power reactor.’’
To implement this mandate, the
Commission approved dry storage of
spent nuclear fuel in NRC-approved
casks under a general license by
publishing a final rule that added a new
subpart K in part 72 of title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)
entitled ‘‘General License for Storage of
Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites’’ (55
FR 29181; July 18, 1990). This rule also
established a new subpart L in 10 CFR
part 72 entitled ‘‘Approval of Spent Fuel
Storage Casks,’’ which contains
procedures and criteria for obtaining
NRC approval of spent fuel storage cask
designs. The NRC subsequently issued a
final rule on April 28, 2000 (65 FR
24855), that approved the TN Americas
LLC, TN–68 Dry Storage Cask System
design and added it to the list of NRCapproved cask designs in § 72.214 as
Certificate of Compliance No. 1027.
IV. Plain Writing
The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub.
L. 111–274) requires Federal agencies to
write documents in a clear, concise,
well-organized manner. The NRC has
written this document to be consistent
with the Plain Writing Act as well as the
Presidential Memorandum, ‘‘Plain
Language in Government Writing,’’
published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 31885).
The NRC requests comment on the
proposed rule with respect to clarity
and effectiveness of the language used.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
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 service routes, and reporting
points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 by amending the Class
E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface within 8.2 mile
(increased from 7.1-mile) radius of
Palestine Municipal Airport, Palestine,
TX, by removing the Franklin VOR/
DME and associated extension from the
airspace legal description; and updating
the geographic coordinates of the airport
to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database.
This action is the result of an airspace
review due to the decommissioning of
the Palestine NDB, which provided
navigation information for the
instrument procedures at this airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 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 E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
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, 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
E:\FR\FM\09DEP1.SGM
09DEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 234 / Thursday, December 9, 2021 / Proposed Rules
is certified that this rule, when

substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

This action is the result of an airspace review due to the
decommissioning of the Palestine NDB, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at this airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 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
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
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, 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
[[Page 70059]]
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.
