Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO
7400.11G is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Proposal
The FAA proposes an amendment to
14 CFR part 71 to establish Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Franklin Field
Airport, Union Springs, AL, to
accommodate RNAV GPS standard
instrument approach procedures
(SIAPs) serving this airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19,
2022, and effective September 15, 2022,
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
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 so 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.
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.

International Price and Service
Adjustments
On October 7, 2022, the Postal Service
filed a notice of mailing services price
adjustments with the Postal Regulatory
Commission (PRC), effective on January
22, 2023. The Postal Service proposes to
revise Notice 123, Price List, available
on Postal Explorer® at https://
pe.usps.com, to reflect these new price
changes. The new prices are or will be
available under Docket Number R2023–
1 on the Postal Regulatory
Commission’s website at www.prc.gov.
In addition, in PRC Docket No.
R2023–1, the Postal Service proposed to
update country names throughout
mailing standards, changing ‘‘Turkey’’
to ‘‘Turkiye,’’ which is the official short
name for ‘‘Republic of Turkiye.’’
This proposed rule describes the price
changes for the following market
dominant international services:
• First-Class Mail International
(FCMI) service.
• International extra services and
fees.
First-Class Mail International
The Postal Service plans to increase
prices for single-piece FCMI postcards,
letters, and flats by approximately 3.7%.
The proposed price for a single-piece
postcard will be $1.45 worldwide. The
First-Class Mail International letter
nonmachinable surcharge will increase
to $0.40. The proposed FCMI singlepiece letter and flat prices will be as
follows:

Kelly Cates, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This petition requests that NMFS take
emergency action to close the RKCSA
and RKCSS to all fishing gear with
bottom contact (i.e., bottom trawl,
pelagic trawl, pot gear and longline
gear). Section 305(c)(1) of the MSA
states: ‘‘If the Secretary finds that an
emergency exists or that interim
measures are needed to reduce
overfishing for any fishery, he may
promulgate emergency regulations or
interim measures necessary to address
the emergency or overfishing, without
regard to whether a fishery management
plan exists for such fishery.’’ NMFS’s
Policy Guidelines for the Use of
Emergency Rules require that an
emergency must exist and that NMFS
have an administrative record justifying
emergency regulatory action and
demonstrating compliance with the
MSA and the National Standards (see
NMFS Procedure 01–101–07; 62 FR
44421, August 21, 1997). Emergency
rulemaking is intended for
circumstances that are ‘‘extremely
urgent,’’ where ‘‘substantial harm to or
disruption of the . . . fishery . . .
would be caused in the time it would
take to follow standard rulemaking
procedures (62 FR 44421, August 21,
1997).’’
Under NMFS’s Policy Guidelines for
the Use of Emergency Rules, the phrase
‘‘an emergency exists involving any
fishery’’ is defined as a situation that
meets the following three criteria:
1. Results from recent, unforeseen
events or recently discovered
circumstances;
2. Presents serious conservation or
management problems in the fishery;
and
3. Can be addressed through
emergency regulations for which the
immediate benefits outweigh the value
of advance notice, public comment, and
deliberative consideration of the
impacts on participants to the same
extent as would be expected under the
normal rulemaking process.

The RKCSA and RKCSS are areas of
the Bering Sea that have been identified
by the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council (Council) and
NMFS as important for BBRKC
conservation and subject to multiple
management actions over time to reduce
non-directed fishery impacts to the
BBRKC stock. The petitioner’s requested
action would affect fisheries in the
exclusive economic zone off Alaska
managed under the fishery management
plan (FMP) for the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Management Area
(BSAI) King and Tanner Crab Fisheries
(Crab FMP) and the FMP for Groundfish
of the BSAI. The Council prepared these
FMPs under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1801
et seq.). Regulations implementing the
FMPs appear at 50 CFR parts 679 and
680.
The Crab FMP was approved by the
Secretary of Commerce on June 2, 1989.
The Crab FMP establishes a State/
Federal cooperative management regime
that delegates crab management to the
State of Alaska with Federal oversight.
State regulations are subject to the
provisions of the Crab FMP, including
its goals and objectives, the MSA, and
other applicable Federal laws.
The abundance estimate calculated
for mature female BBRKC using the
eastern Bering Sea bottom trawl survey
(Trawl Survey) data in 2021 and 2022
were the lowest two abundances on
record since 1995. Using the data from
the Trawl Survey, the State provided an
abundance estimation that was below
the State of Alaska regulatory harvest
strategy threshold of 8.4 million mature
female crab to open a directed fishery in
2021 and in 2022. As a result, the
directed fishery was closed for the
2021–2022 and 2022–2023 seasons.
While BBRKC are closed to directed
fishing, the stock is not currently
overfished or subject to overfishing.
Information in the Petition
NMFS received the petition on
September 29, 2022. The ABSC requests
that the Secretary undertake emergency
rulemaking to close the RKCSA and
RKCSS to all fishing gears with bottom
contact from January 1, 2023 to June 30,
2023 in order to protect BBRKC and
their habitat at a time of historically low
crab abundance. According to the
petition filed by the ABSC, the reasons
such action is needed through
emergency rulemaking are:
1. The RKCSA is already closed yearround to bottom trawl gear to protect
BBRKC and crab habitat from fishing
impacts. In addition, in years when the
directed fishery is closed, the RKCSS,
the additional area to the south of the
