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 amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Ruston Regional Airport, Ruston, LA, to support instrument flight rule operations at this airport. History The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA–2023–0735 in the Federal Register (88 FR 36979; June 6, 2023) amending the Class E airspace at Ruston, LA. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Incorporation by Reference Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This document amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G, 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. These amendments will be published in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 54233 FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. The Rule This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius of Ruston Regional Airport, Ruston, LA, and updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 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. 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 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. Environmental Review 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.

Wooden, Assistant Division Chief, Data User and Respondent Outreach, Economic Management Division, Census Bureau by phone (301) 763–3829 or by email omari.s.wooden@ census.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Census Bureau is amending the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) to add a conditional data element, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) Category XXI Determination Number, when ‘‘21’’ (see Appendix L of the Automated Export System Trade Interface Requirements (AESTIR)) is selected in the DDTC United States Munitions List (USML) Category Code field in the Electronic Export Information (EEI). The FTR defines the DDTC USML Category Code as the USML category of the article being exported (22 CFR) part 121). Public Law 106–113 amended 13 U.S.C. 301, to add subsection ‘‘(h)’’ directing the Secretary of Commerce to require, by regulation, the mandatory electronic filing of export information through the Automated Export System (AES) for items identified in the Commerce Control List (CCL) and the USML. Under the authorities in chapter 9 of title 13, U.S.C., the Secretary of Commerce will collect additional data on the export of items under DDTC USML Category Code ‘‘21’’ to identify and validate commodities for which DDTC USML Category Code ‘‘21’’ is cited. The DDTC Category XXI Determination Number is a unique number issued by DDTC in conjunction with a notification that a specific commodity is described in USML Category XXI. Information on valid USML Category XXI determinations and the prospective AES error code may be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section of DDTC’s website (www.pmddtc.state.gov). The Census Bureau published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register on May 3, 2023 (88 FR 27815) to add the conditional data element, DDTC Category XXI Determination Number, when ‘‘21’’ is selected in the DDTC USML Category Code field in the Automated Export System (AES) as well as to make the remedial changes originally proposed in the NPRM published December 15, 2021 PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 in the Federal Register (86 FR 71187). Comments to these remedial changes were favorable. Finally, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of State concur with the revisions to the FTR as required by 13 U.S.C. 302 and Public Law 107–228, division B, title XIV, section 1404. Response to Comments The Census Bureau received three comments on the NPRMs published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2021 (86 FR 71187) and May 3, 2023 (88 FR 27815). A summary of the comments and the Census Bureau’s response are provided below. Comment. The commenter stated that it is unclear if the Census Bureau proposed to update the published penalty amount in § 30.71 as it still states $10,000 and has not been $10,000 for years. The commentor suggested to update the correct current amount, in conjunction with the footnote update proposed. Response. The Census Bureau has reviewed this comment and disagrees that the amount shown in § 30.71 should reflect the current amount with the footnote to address the adjustment for inflation. The $10,000 referenced in § 30.71 is consistent with 13 U.S.C. 305. The current penalty amounts are published in 15 CFR 6.3(d). Comment. The commenter recommends that the Census Bureau eliminate the Dun and Bradstreet Number (DUNS) for reporting the U.S. Principal Party in Interest Identification Number (USPPI ID) because reporting the DUNS requires the company to also report their Employer Identification Number (EIN) and adds to reporting burden and filing mistakes thus increasing risks of incurring a fine and/ or penalty. The commenter also recommended that the Census Bureau review and publish the percentage of shipments where the DUNS is used as the filer ID. The commenter also stated that if the Census Bureau decides to keep the DUNS as a USPPI ID, then § 30.3(e)(1)(ii) needs to reflect that when the USPPI uses the DUNS as their filer ID, they must also provide the FPPI’s authorized agent their EIN. As currently proposed in the NPRM, the USPPI either provides the EIN or DUNS. Response. The Census Bureau has reviewed this comment and disagrees with removing the DUNS as an option for reporting the USPPI ID. USPPIs who have postdeparture filing privileges support the use of the DUNS as the USPPI ID because USPPIs prefer to have the less sensitive DUNS rather than the EIN shown on the front page of bills of E:\FR\FM\10AUR1.SGM 10AUR1

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 amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Ruston Regional Airport, Ruston, LA, to support 
instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2023-0735 in the 
Federal Register (88 FR 36979; June 6, 2023) amending the Class E 
airspace at Ruston, LA. Interested parties were invited to participate 
in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the 
proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This 
document amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 
7400.11G, 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. These amendments will be published in the 
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies the Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.5-mile 
radius of Ruston Regional Airport, Ruston, LA, and updates the 
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database.

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. 
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 
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.

Environmental Review

    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.
