VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:19 Jul 03, 2017 Jkt 241001 Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by Reference This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. with FAA Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final regulatory action. The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Sunriver Airport, Sunriver, OR. The airspace would be modified to within 4 miles each side of a line extending from Sunriver Airport to 14.3 miles north of the airport, and within 2.5 miles each side of a line extending from the airport to 7 miles south of the airport. This action would slightly reduce the airspace area east and west of the airport due to the new airspace configuration. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 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, is non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. 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 rule, when promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Environmental Review This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in accordance PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air). The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows: 1. The authority citation for 14 CFR part 71 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g), 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959–1963 Comp., p. 389. § 71.1 [Amended] 2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, is amended as follows: ■ Paragraph 6005 Class E Airspace Areas Extending Upward From 700 Feet or More Above the Surface of the Earth. * * * * * ANM OR E5 Sunriver, OR [Amended] Sunriver Airport, OR (Lat. 43°52′35″ N., long. 121°27′11″ W.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    On October 11, 2011, the Commission published an advance notice of 
proposed rulemaking (ANPR) to consider whether there may be an 
unreasonable risk of blade-contact injuries associated with table saws. 
76 FR 62678. On May 12, 2017, the Commission published an NPR finding 
preliminarily that there is an unreasonable risk of blade-contact 
injuries associated with table saws. 82 FR 22190. To address the risk, 
the NPR proposed a performance requirement for table saws that would 
limit the depth of cut to 3.5 mm or less, when a test probe, acting as 
surrogate for a human body/finger, contacts the spinning blade at a 
radial approach rate of 1 m/s. The proposed requirement would be issued 
under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). The NPR is available at: 
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2017-05-12/pdf/2017-09098.pdf. The 
staff's briefing package is available at: https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/Proposed%20Rule%20-%20Safety%20Standard%20for%20Blade-Contact%20Injuries%20on%20Table%20Saws%20-%20January%2017%202017.pdf.

B. The Public Meeting

    The CPSA requires that the Commission provide an opportunity for 
the ``oral presentation of data, views, or arguments,'' in addition to 
written comments, when the Commission develops a consumer product 
safety standard. 15 U.S.C. 2058(d)(2). Thus, the Commission is 
providing this forum for oral presentations concerning the proposed 
standard addressing blade-contact injuries on table saws. See the 
information under the headings DATES and ADDRESSES at the beginning of 
this document for information on making requests to give oral 
presentations at the meeting.
    Participants should limit their presentations to approximately 10 
minutes, exclusive of any periods of questioning by the Commissioners 
or CPSC staff. To prevent duplicative presentations, groups will be 
directed to designate a spokesperson. The Commission reserves the right 
to limit the time further for any presentation and impose restrictions 
to avoid excessive duplication of presentations, if necessary.

    Dated: June 29, 2017.
