Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Menominee, MI, 51623-51625 [2022-18016]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 23, 2022 / Proposed Rules lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 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.

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 ADDRESSES: Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 51625 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.

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 would amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at Menominee Regional Airport, Menominee, MI, to 
support instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

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.
