The Rule DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 71 [Docket No. FAA–2007–28235; Airspace Docket No. 07–ANM–9] Establishment of Class E Airspace; Hulett, WY Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with RULES SUMMARY: This action will establish Class E airspace at Hulett, WY. Additional Class E airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) at Hulett Municipal Airport. This will improve the safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft executing the new RNAV GPS IAP at Hulett Municipal Airport, Hulett, WY. Also, this action makes a minor correction to the airport description. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, December 20, 2007. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On July 3, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at Hulett, WY, (72 FR 36397). This action would improve the safety of IFR aircraft executing this new RNAV GPS IAP at Hulett Municipal Airport, Hulett, WY. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:45 Sep 26, 2007 Jkt 211001 This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Hulett, WY. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing a new RNAV (GPS) IAP at Hulett Municipal Airport, Hulett, WY. 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. Therefore, this regulation: (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, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 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 establishes additional controlled airspace at Hulett Municipal Airport, Hulett, WY. 54815 PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission is amending its garage door operator standard, 16 CFR part 1211, to incorporate changes made to Underwriter Laboratories, Inc. (‘‘UL’’) standard UL 325, third edition, ‘‘Door, Drapery, Louver and Window Operators and Systems.’’ In 1991, Congress mandated the entrapment protection provisions of the UL 325 standard as a consumer product safety standard. Sec 203 of Public Law 101–608. Congress also required the Commission to incorporate into part 1211 any revisions that UL proposed to the entrapment protection requirements of UL 325, unless the Commission notified UL that the revision does not carry out the purposes of Public Law 101–608. Recently, UL revised some provisions of UL 325 to address the hazard of children becoming entrapped if a child becomes stuck under a partially open door and the door moves down when a bystander presses the wall control button. The Commission determined that the entrapment related revisions incorporated into the UL standard do carry out the purposes of Public Law 101–608. On January 18, 2007, the Commission issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (‘‘NPR’’) to revise part 1211 to reflect the changes UL made to UL 325. 72 FR 2217. The Commission received no comments on the proposal and is now making the revisions final. UL set an effective date of February 21, 2008 for the changes to the entrapment protection requirements in the UL standard. The Commission is specifying the same effective date for these provisions in the CPSC standard. UL also added to its standard a requirement that the statement ‘‘Never go under a stopped partially open door’’ be added to garage door operator instruction manuals. The Commission is making this change in the CPSC standard as well. UL set an effective date of September 14, 2004 for this provision in UL 325. The instruction manual provision in the CPSC standard would become effective when published as a final rule in the Federal Register. E:\FR\FM\27SER1.SGM 27SER1

Commuter Operations and General Certification and Operations 
Requirements; Qualifications for Director of Maintenance for Part 135

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 54816]]

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is making a minor 
technical change to a final rule, Commuter Operations and General 
Certification and Operations Requirements. This final rule established 
the requirements for certain management officials for certificate 
holders. In the final rule the FAA unintentionally included an 
incorrect experience requirement for the Director of Maintenance for 
commuter and on-demand operators. This amendment corrects that 
experience requirement.

DATES: Effective on September 27, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kim A. Barnette, Flight Standards 
Service (AFS-350), Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence 
Ave., SW., Washington, DC; phone (202) 493-4922; e-mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 20, 1995 (60 FR 65832), the FAA 
published a final rule in the Federal Register, better known as ``the 
commuter rule'', that established the requirements for certain 
management officials in parts 121 and 135. Although the FAA clearly 
stated in the preamble to this final rule that ``In addition to other 
requirements, these candidates will have to have three years of 
experience (within their respective fields) within the past six years 
to be eligible for a Director position,'' the specific years of 
experience in the rule language in part 135 was incorrect. The part 121 
experience requirement of Sec.  119.67 correctly states this ``3 years 
within 6 years'' experience requirement; however the part 135 
requirement in Sec.  119.71 was incorrectly stated as ``3 years within 
3 years.''
    By petition for rulemaking dated September 5, 2007, the Regional 
Air Cargo Carriers Association (RACCA) asked the FAA to correct this 
technical error. The RACCA correctly pointed out that it makes no sense 
to have an experience requirement in part 135 that is more stringent 
than the same requirement in part 121.

Technical Amendment

    This technical amendment will correct an unintentional error in the 
years of experience requirement in Sec.  119.71 to make it consistent 
with Sec.  119.67.

Justification for Immediate Adoption

    Because this action corrects an unintentional error in rule 
language for Sec.  119.71, the FAA finds that good cause exists under 5 
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this rule effective upon publication.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 119
