have been cancelled and the airspace is
no longer required; removing the Dewie
LOM from the airspace legal description
as it is no longer required; and updating
the geographic coordinates of the airport
and the Bartlesville VOR/DME to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database;
And amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.5-mile
(decreased from a 7.3-mile) radius of
Miami Regional Airport, Miami, OK;
removing the Baptist Regional Health
Center Heliport point in space
coordinates and associated airspace
from the airspace legal description as
the associated instrument procedures
have been cancelled and the airspace is
no longer required; and updating name
of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
This action is due to an airspace
review conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Oswego VOR,
which provided navigation information
for the instrument procedures at these
airports, as part of the VOR MON
Program.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraphs 6002 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 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
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.

removing the extension to the north of
the airport as it is no longer required;
and updating the name (previously
Menominee-Marinette Twin County

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 6,
2018, section 151 of Public Law 115–
182, the John S. McCain III, Daniel K.
Akaka, and Samuel R. Johnson VA
Maintaining Internal Systems and
Strengthening Integrated Outside
Networks Act of 2018, or the VA
MISSION Act of 2018, amended title 38
of the United States Code (U.S.C.) by
adding a new section 1730C, titled
Licensure of health care professionals
providing treatment via telemedicine.
On June 11, 2018, a final rule VA
published in May 2018, 83 FR 21897,
titled Authority of Health Care
Providers to Practice Telehealth (RIN
2900–AQ06), became effective; this
regulation, which established 38 CFR
17.417, grants VA health care providers
the ability to provide telehealth services
within their scope of practice,
functional statement, and/or in
accordance with privileges granted to
them by VA, in any location, within any
State, irrespective of the State or
location within a State where the health
care provider or the beneficiary is
physically located. Congress was aware
VA was promulgating this regulation
and sought to codify VA’s telehealth
authority through legislation. See H.R.
Rep. No. 115–671, Part I, at 13–14.
Congress passed the William M. (Mac)
Thornberry National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021
(2021 NDAA), which further amended
the definition of health care professional
by including post graduate health care
employees and health professions
trainees. See Public Law 116–283, sec.
9101, January 2, 2021. Given the
enactment of these laws, we are
updating our regulations to implement
the new statutory authority.
Section 1730C provides a definition of
covered health care professionals that
differs from the definition of health care
provider under § 17.417(a). We propose
this regulation to make these definitions
consistent. Section 1730C(b)(1)(A)
defines a covered health care

professional to include those VA
employees appointed under 38 U.S.C.
7306, 7401, 7405, 7406, 7408 and title
5 of the U.S. Code. Section 17.417(a)
defined a health care provider as an
individual who is appointed to an
occupation in the Veterans Health
Administration that is listed in or
authorized under 38 U.S.C. 7401(1) or
(3). To maintain consistency between 38
U.S.C. 1730C and § 17.417, VA is
proposing to amend the definition of
health care provider to instead refer to
health care professionals. We would
also renumber the definition in § 17.417
for clarity. VA proposes to add in
§ 17.417(a)(2)(i) that a health care
professional would include those
individuals who are appointed under 38
U.S.C. 7306, 7401, 7405, 7406, 7408,
and title 5 of the U.S. Code.
VA is further proposing to amend the
definition of health care professional to
be consistent with section
1730C(b)(1)(C) in proposed
§ 17.417(a)(2)(ii) to state that VA health
care professionals would be required to
adhere to all standards for quality
relating to the provision of health care
in accordance with applicable VA
policies. We note that while the statute
uses the phrase provision of medicine,
we propose to use the phrase provision
of health care because we understand
these terms to be equivalent and
because the term health care is used
more frequently in VA’s regulations
than medicine.
Consistent with current § 17.417, we
would state in proposed
§ 17.417(a)(2)(iii) that VA-contracted
health care professionals remain
excluded from the definition of health
care professional. We maintain this
exclusion because contracted health
care professionals and community care
professionals are not appointed under
38 U.S.C. 7306, 7401, 7405, 7406, 7408,
or title 5, U.S. Code.
We would also state in proposed
§ 17.417(a)(2)(iv)(A) that the health care
professional is qualified to provide
health care based on having an active,
current, full, and unrestricted license,
registration, certification, or satisfy
another State requirement in a State to
practice the health care profession of the
health care professional. This language
is similar to the language in section
1730C(b)(1)(D)(i).
Proposed § 17.417(a)(2)(iv)(B) would
include those health care professions
listed under 38 U.S.C. 7402(b)(14) that,
although they may not be required to be
licensed, registered or certified in their
health care profession, may be required
to satisfy another State requirement in a
State that might limit them to practice
telehealth. This additional provision

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 at
Menominee Regional Airport, Menominee, MI, by removing the extension to
the north of the airport as it is no longer required; and updating the
name (previously Menominee-Marinette Twin County Airport) and
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
This action is due to an airspace review conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Menominee VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
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 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.
