Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 121 / Monday, June 26, 2023 / Rules and Regulations impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures and 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. Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, on June 20, 2023. Steven T. Phillips, Acting Manager, Operations Support Group, ATO Central Service Center. Environmental Review DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 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 5–6.5.a. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: History The FAA published a final rule for Docket No. FAA–2022–1678 in the Federal Register (88 FR 36936; June 6, 2023), amending the Nashville International Airport Class C airspace area and the John C. Tune Class D airspace area. Subsequent to publication, the FAA determined that the words ‘‘(when active)’’ were inadvertently omitted from the preamble discussion and regulatory text that describe the exclusion of the Smyrna Class D airspace from the Nashville Class C airspace area. Since the Smyrna Class D airspace is a parttime designation, it is only excluded from the Class C airspace during the times the Class D is active. This rule corrects the preamble discussion, and the regulatory text by adding ‘‘(when active)’’ following all references to the exclusion of the Smyrna Class D airspace. This complies with aeronautical charting specification requirements to ensure the proper depiction of the airspace on the applicable charts. This action does not alter the actual dimensions of the Class C or Class D airspace areas. Correction to Final Rule Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the preamble discussion and regulatory text contained in Docket No. FAA–2022–1678, as published in the Federal Register of June 6, 2023 (88 FR 36936), FR Doc. 2023–11909, are corrected as follows: ■ 1.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aaron Michael Stern, USAID AHI Working Group Coordinator, HARuleInfo@usaid.gov, (202) 712–5568. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule implements the HAVANA Act of 2021, Public Law 117–46, codified in 22 U.S.C. 2680b(i). Background and Authority—§ 242.1 On October 8, 2021, the ‘‘Helping American Victims Affected by Neurological Attacks’’ (HAVANA) Act of 2021 became law (Pub. L. 117–46). In this Act, Congress authorized federal government agencies to compensate affected current employees, former employees, and their dependents for qualifying injuries to the brain after January 1, 2016, in connection with certain hostile or other incidents designated by the Secretary of State. This law requires USAID (and other agencies) to ‘‘prescribe regulations’’ implementing the HAVANA Act not later than 180 days after the effective date of the Act. Section 3 of the HAVANA Act of 2021 removed the requirement in Public Law 116–94, Division J, Title IX, Section 901, that the qualifying injury occurs in ‘‘the Republic of Cuba, People’s Republic of China, or other foreign country designated by the Secretary of State’’ for the purpose of making a payment under the HAVANA Act. This interim final rule only implements the HAVANA Act of 2021. This regulation applies only to current and former employees of the United States Agency for International Development, and dependents of current or former employees, as defined in § 242.2 of this rule. Definitions—§ 242.2 The rule follows the definitional template provided in the HAVANA Act and its predecessors. The rule defines PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 certain categories of individuals as employees (and thus covered under the Foreign Affairs Manual and the USAID Automated Directives System (ADS)), as well as those who are not considered employees. For covered employees, the qualifying injury must have occurred on or after January 1, 2016. Similarly, for dependents, the qualifying injury must have occurred on or after January 1, 2016, while the employee was a covered employee of USAID. To make a payment under the Act, this rule defines ‘‘covered dependent’’ as any family member of a USAID current or former employee, without any restriction on where the USAID employee was posted. The rule adopts the Department of State’s definition of ‘‘eligible family member’’ in 14 Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) 511.3 to define ‘‘dependent.’’ The term ‘‘covered employee’’ includes USAID Foreign Service Officers; USAID Civil Service employees; Appointment Eligible Family Member Adjudicator positions; Expanded Professional Associates Program members; Family Member Appointments; Foreign Service Family Reserve Corps; employees on Limited Non-Career Appointments; Temporary Appointments; students providing volunteer services under U.S.C. 3111; an individual under a Personal Services Contract (Third Country National, Cooperating Country National, and US Personal Services Contracts); or appointed to the position; and USAID’s Interns and Fellows. The term ‘‘covered individual’’ includes any former employee of USAID (including retired or separated employees) who, on or after January 1, 2016, became injured because of a qualifying injury to the brain while they were a covered employee of USAID. The term ‘‘covered dependent’’ includes any family member of a USAID current or former employee who, on or after January 1, 2016, becomes injured because of a qualifying injury to the brain while the dependent’s sponsor was a covered employee of USAID. For purposes of determining whether someone is a covered dependent, the term ‘‘family members’’ includes unmarried children under 21 years of age (or certain other children); parents; sisters and brothers; and spouse. Stepparents and step-siblings are included in the definition. The definition of ‘‘qualifying injury to the brain’’ is based on current medical practices related to brain injuries. Further, the injury must have occurred in connection with certain hostile acts, including war, terrorist activity, or other incidents designated by the Secretary of E:\FR\FM\26JNR1.SGM 26JNR1

Airspace; Nashville, TN; and the John C. Tune Airport Class D Airspace; 
Nashville, TN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the 
Federal Register on June 6, 2023, that amended the Nashville 
International Airport Class C airspace area and the John C. Tune Class 
D airspace area. In the final rule, the words ``(when active)'' were 
inadvertently omitted from the sentences that exclude the Smyrna 
Airport Class D airspace from the Nashville Class C airspace area. The 
error would cause the incorrect depiction of the Class C and Class D 
airspace areas on aeronautical charts. This action corrects that error.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, August 10, 2023. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule for Docket No. FAA-2022-1678 in the 
Federal Register (88 FR 36936; June 6, 2023), amending the Nashville 
International Airport Class C airspace area and the John C. Tune Class 
D airspace area. Subsequent to publication, the FAA determined that the 
words ``(when active)'' were inadvertently omitted from the preamble 
discussion and regulatory text that describe the exclusion of the 
Smyrna Class D airspace from the Nashville Class C airspace area. Since 
the Smyrna Class D airspace is a part-time designation, it is only 
excluded from the Class C airspace during the times the Class D is 
active. This rule corrects the preamble discussion, and the regulatory 
text by adding ``(when active)'' following all references to the 
exclusion of the Smyrna Class D airspace. This complies with 
aeronautical charting specification requirements to ensure the proper 
depiction of the airspace on the applicable charts. This action does 
not alter the actual dimensions of the Class C or Class D airspace 
areas.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the 
preamble discussion and regulatory text contained in Docket No. FAA-
2022-1678, as published in the Federal Register of June 6, 2023 (88 FR 
36936), FR Doc. 2023-11909, are corrected as follows:

0
1. In FR Doc. 2023-11909, on page 36938, add the words ``(when 
active)'' following both instances of the phrase ``. . . excludes that 
portion of airspace that is within the Smyrna Airport Class D airspace 
area'', so that they read: ``. . . excludes that portion of airspace 
that is within the Smyrna Airport Class D airspace area (when 
active);''.

2. Amend the Nashville, TN Airport Class C description by adding the 
words ``(when active)'' following references to the Smyrna, TN, Airport 
Class D airspace area, to read as follows:
