SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Authority for This Rulemaking The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 revokes the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Gibson City Municipal Airport, Gibson City, IL, due to instrument procedures being cancelled and the airspace no longer being required. History The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA–2024–1147 in the Federal Register (89 FR 35022; May 1, 2024) proposing to revoke the Class E airspace at Gibson City, IL. 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 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO 7400.11H 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 7400.11H 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 removes the Class E surface area at Gibson City Municipal Airport, Gibson City, IL. 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 E:\FR\FM\26JYR1.SGM 26JYR1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 144 / Friday, July 26, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 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.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: On April 24, 2024, President Biden signed ‘‘Making emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, and for other purposes,’’ into law. The law requires the United States to regulate the export of certain foreignproduced items destined for Iran. This rule implements the law’s requirements by expanding the scope of the Export Administration Regulations’ (EAR) Foreign Direct Product rule for Iran and applicable license requirements, thereby increasing restrictions under the EAR. DATES: This rule is effective July 23, 2024. SUMMARY: For general questions, contact Sharron Cook, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce at 202–482– 2440 or by email: Sharron.Cook@ bis.doc.gov. 16:03 Jul 25, 2024 Jkt 262001 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background 1. The authority citation for 14 CFR part 71 continues to read as follows: ■ * Bureau of Industry and Security FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows: § 71.1 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Division N of Public Law 118–50, the No Technology for Terror Act (the Act), which is available at https:// www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/ house-bill/815/text#, establishes that certain foreign-produced items are subject to the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR 730–774) (EAR) under the Export Control Reform Act (ECRA), 50 U.S.C. 4801–4852, if they are to be exported, reexported, or in-country transferred to Iran. Sponsors of H.R. 815 cited the need to restrict transfers of U.S. technology to Iran when that technology may be used for weapons systems, including drones, that threaten U.S. troops overseas or key allies. The Act is effective on July 23, 2024. Accordingly, this rule revises the Foreign-Direct Product (FDP) rule for Iran in § 734.9(j) of the EAR (Iran FDP rule). Under the Iran FDP rule, prior to July 23, 2024, foreign-produced items were subject to the EAR when they were: (1) the direct product of U.S.-origin ‘‘software’’ or ‘‘technology’’ and PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 60563 specified in an EAR supplement (Supp. No. 7 to part 746) or classified under an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) in Categories 3 through 5 and 7 of the Commerce Control List, Supp. No. 1 to part 774 (CCL), or (2) were produced by a plant or major component of a plant that is itself the direct product of such CCL-controlled ‘‘software’’ or ‘‘technology’’. Such items may have required a license from the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to Iran. See §§ 734.9(j) and 746.7(a)(iii) of the EAR. Effective July 23, 2024, the Act expanded the scope of the EAR’s existing Iran FDP rule to require a license for additional foreign-produced items, while also providing certain exclusions from license requirements that would otherwise apply. This rule revises §§ 734.9 and 746.7 of the EAR to implement the Act’s requirements in four respects. First, BIS revises the introduction to paragraph (j) to identify the two circumstances in which foreignproduced items that meet the product scope of paragraph (j)(1) are subject to the EAR: if they fall within either the destination and end-use scope paragraphs of paragraph (j)(2) or the end-user scope set forth in new paragraph (j)(3). Second, this rule expands the range of items in the product scope of the Iran FDP rule. Specifically, this rule revises the product scope in § 734.9(j)(1) by expanding the CCL category range of items in paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and (j)(1)(ii) from ‘‘any ECCN in product group D or E in Categories 3 through 5 or 7’’ of the CCL to include Categories 3 through 9 of the CCL. The expanded product scope now includes ‘‘technology’’ and ‘‘software’’ for Category 6—Lasers and Sensors, Category 8—Marine, and Category 9—Aerospace and Propulsion. Third, BIS has revised paragraph (j)(2) and has made structural changes, including by breaking the revised paragraph into separate paragraphs (j)(2)(i) and (j)(2)(ii) to assist the reader in applying the scope of this paragraph correctly. As revised, the scope of paragraph (j)(2) is satisfied if there is ‘‘knowledge’’ that the foreign-produced item meets the destination scope in paragraph (j)(2)(i) or meets the combined end-use and destination scope in paragraph (j)(2)(ii). The paragraph title is accordingly expanded by adding ‘‘and end-use’’ so that it will refer to both destination and end-use scope. Finally, BIS has added a new end-user scope in new paragraph (j)(3).

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 revokes the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Gibson City Municipal Airport, Gibson City, IL, due to 
instrument procedures being cancelled and the airspace no longer being 
required.

History

    The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2024-1147 in the 
Federal Register (89 FR 35022; May 1, 2024) proposing to revoke the 
Class E airspace at Gibson City, IL. 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 
7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023. FAA 
Order JO 7400.11H 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 7400.11H 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 removes the Class E surface area 
at Gibson City Municipal Airport, Gibson City, IL.

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

[[Page 60563]]

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.
