Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 19, 2024 / Proposed Rules and the Kachemak NDB. The decommissioning of the Chinook and Kachemak NDBs will render this segment unusable. As mitigations for routing, T–390 overlays R–99 between the Dutch Harbor and Chinook NDBs and V–427 overlays R–99 between the Chinook and Iliamna NDB. Additionally, T–376 serves as a mitigation for routing between the Iliamna and Homer area. As amended, R–99 would extend between the Port Heiden and Dutch Harbor NDBs. B–27: B–27 currently extends between the Woody Island, AK, NDB and the Hotham, AK, NDB. The FAA is proposing to revoke this airway in its entirety due to the decommissioning of the Chinook, Oscarville, Fort Davis, and the Hotham NDBs. As mitigations for routing, T–368 exits between the King Salmon, AK, VORTAC and the Kodiak, AK, VOR/DME, T–373 between the Bethel, AK, VORTAC and KOWOK, AK, Fix, and T–252 between the Nome, AK, VOR/DME and the Kotzebue, AK, VOR/ DME. Additionally, V–506 is available and closely follows the current track of B–27. V–619: V–619 currently extends between the Port Heiden, AK, NDB/ DME and the Dillingham, AK, VOR/ DME. The FAA is proposing to revoke this airway in its entirety due to the decommissioning of the Chinook, AK, NDB. Mitigations to the loss of this route are T–345 between the Port Heiden NDB/DME and the King Salmon, AK, VORTAC, V–453 between the King Salmon VORTAC and the Dillingham VOR/DME, and V–351 between the Port Heiden NDB/DME and the Dillingham VOR/DME. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 23, 2024, BIS published in the Federal Register the 
proposed rule, ``Export Administration Regulations: Revisions to Space-
Related Export Controls, Including Addition of License Exception 
Commercial Space Activities (CSA)'' (RIN 0694-AH66) (89 FR 84784), 
which proposes changes to controls for spacecraft and related items 
under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that would conform to 
proposed changes to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations 
(ITAR) related to U.S. Munitions List (USML) Categories IV and XV. This 
rule also proposes the addition of a new license exception for certain 
Commercial Space Activities (CSA). This proposed rule is published 
alongside the Department of State proposed rule, ``International 
Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR): U.S. Munitions List Categories IV 
and XV'' (1400-AE73), which includes proposed changes for certain 
space-related defense articles and related controls. These proposed 
rules are intended to better enable a globally competitive U.S. space 
industrial base while continuing to protect U.S. national security and 
foreign policy interests. In response to requests from the regulated 
community, the Department of Commerce is extending the comment period 
for this rule (RIN 0694-AH66) by 30 days.
