SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: 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 PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 41307 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 Class E airspace in Winder, GA. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA 2023–2467 in the Federal Register (89 FR 4856; January 25, 2024), proposing to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Barrow County Airport, Winder, GA. 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 proposes to amend the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023. These updates would be published subsequently in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. FAA Order JO 7400.11H is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11H 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 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Barrow County Airport, Winder, GA, by updating the airport name (formerly Winder Airport) and geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA’s database. Amends the radius to 7.1 miles, which is consistent with the outcome of airspace evaluation instead of the current 6.5 miles. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area. 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 E:\FR\FM\13MYR1.SGM 13MYR1 41308 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 93 / Monday, May 13, 2024 / Rules and Regulations Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of Transportation (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.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: This rule adopts as final the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register on July 26, 2023. This final rule provides that private attorneys, interpreters, and other third parties may attend certain appointments at passport agencies and centers and at U.S. embassies and consulates overseas to assist the person requesting services (the applicant/ requester). This rule permitting thirdparty attendance will apply only to appointments in support of an application for a U.S. passport, either domestically or overseas; to appointments related to a request for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad or a Certificate of Loss of Nationality of the United States (CLN); and to other appointments for certain other services offered by American Citizens Services (ACS) units at U.S. embassies and consulates overseas (posts). In addition, this final rule includes technical corrections to clarify who may act as a consular officer for purposes of the Protection and Welfare of Citizens and their Property.

SUMMARY: The Department of State (Department) published a proposed rule (Public Notice 11999) on July 26, 2023, at 88 FR 48143, with 60 days provided for public comment. This final rule amends title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 (CFR) by updating parts 50, 51, and 71 to publish regulations regarding when attorneys, interpreters, or other third parties may attend an appointment either domestically or overseas for a U.S. passport, Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), Certificate of Loss of Nationality (CLN) services, or for certain other U.S citizen services offered by ACS units at post. Additionally, the final rule includes technical amendments to 22 CFR part 71 to clarify that appropriately designated Department employees, in addition to officers of the Foreign Service, may assist U.S. citizens seeking assistance at overseas posts. This change is consistent with federal law and regulations which were amended after 22 CFR part 71 was established in 1957. Analysis of Comments The comment period for the proposed rule closed September 25, 2023, after a 60-day comment period. Three comments were received. One comment expressed unqualified support for the rule, noting that third-party assistance at the applicant’s expense is crucial to disabled persons, the elderly, children, and many other people requesting U.S. citizens services. The other two comments also specifically expressed appreciation for the role that professional assistance of counsel may provide. The comments raised the following topics: Topic 1: Qualifications of Attorney, Other Third-Party Attendee Two commenters expressed concern that the draft rule does not specify any qualifications that an attorney and/or other third party must have as a prerequisite to attending covered appointments. In particular, the commenters expressed concern about unauthorized practice of law. The Department has previously considered whether to develop specific requirements that an individual must meet (and presumably establish to the satisfaction of the U.S. diplomatic or consular officer) to qualify as an ‘‘other third party’’ with a view, in part, to protect against unauthorized practice of law by, e.g., non-attorney immigration consultants. We have also considered whether to limit the definition of ‘‘attorney’’ to persons admitted to the bar of and licensed to practice in a U.S. state who are in good standing. However, in promulgating this rule, the Department is not seeking to regulate the person who a U.S. citizen chooses to accompany them to their appointment. While there is no Department-imposed requirement that an applicant/requester be represented E:\FR\FM\13MYR1.SGM 13MYR1

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 Class E airspace in Winder, GA.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 
FAA 2023-2467 in the Federal Register (89 FR 4856; January 25, 2024), 
proposing to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface for Barrow County Airport, Winder, GA. 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 proposes to amend the current version of that order, FAA Order 
JO 7400.11H, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 
11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023. These updates would be 
published subsequently in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. FAA 
Order JO 7400.11H is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES 
section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11H 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 amends Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface for Barrow County Airport, 
Winder, GA, by updating the airport name (formerly Winder Airport) and 
geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's database. Amends the 
radius to 7.1 miles, which is consistent with the outcome of airspace 
evaluation instead of the current 6.5 miles. Controlled airspace is 
necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules 
(IFR) operations in the area.

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

[[Page 41308]]

Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under Department of 
Transportation (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

    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 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to 
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant the preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
