products identified in this rulemaking
action.
Regulatory Findings
We have determined that this
proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order
13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the
States, on the relationship between the
national Government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that the proposed regulation:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
3. Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this proposed AD and placed it in the
AD docket. See the ADDRESSES section
for a location to examine the regulatory
evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 7, 2005, the Department of
Transportation (DOT or Department)
issued a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) that proposed to require
airlines to provide in-flight medical
oxygen without charge, to test certain
respiratory assistive devices and to
permit their use if safe. See 70 FR
53108. The NPRM would apply to
certain U.S. and foreign air carriers
operating to and from the U.S. The

original comment closing date is
November 7, 2005.
The Air Carrier Association of
America (ACAA), the Air Transport
Association (ATA), the National Air
Carrier Association (NACA), and the
Regional Airline Association (RAA)
jointly requested an extension of the
comment period to consider ‘‘the
enormous technical, operational and
cost issues raised by the multiple
actions required by the NPRM.’’ They
requested an extension of more than
sixty days to January 30, 2006, at least
partially because an extension of sixty
days in this rulemaking would place the
close of the comment period in the
holiday season. This request was
supported by comments from the
International Air Transport Association
(IATA), which further explained that
IATA has begun the process of gathering
comments from its in-flight, dangerous
goods, passenger services, operations,
medical and regulatory contacts but that
gathering and collating such feedback is
a significant task that requires time.
The Department concurs that an
extension of the comment period is
necessary to allow members of industry
sufficient time to analyze the impact of
the proposed rule and believes that this
extension would result in more
thorough comments to the docket than
might otherwise be possible without
delaying final action in the rulemaking
proceeding. We do not anticipate the
need for any further extensions.
Accordingly, the Department finds that
good cause exists to extend the
comment period on the proposed rule
from November 7, 2005, to January 30,
2006.
Issued in Washington, DC this 17th day of
October, 2005, under authority assigned to
me by 14 CFR 385.17(c).

and revises data requirements for the
registration of microbial and
biochemical pesticide products to
reflect current scientific knowledge and
understanding. These data requirements
and those already codified in part 158
of title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), are intended to
provide EPA with data and other
information necessary for the
registration of biochemical and
microbial pesticide products.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket
identification (ID) number OPP–2005–
0415. All documents in the docket are
listed in the EDOCKET index at
