11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Distribution System, which describes
the application procedure.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) part 71 by establishing a Class D
airspace area extending upward from
the surface to and including 3,300 feet
MSL within a 5.0-mile radius of
Sherman/Denison, Grayson County
Airport, TX. The establishment of an air
traffic control tower has made this
action necessary. The intended effect of
this proposal is to provide controlled
airspace for flight operations at Grayson
County Airport, TX. The area would be
depicted on appropriate aeronautical
charts.
Class D airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order
7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and
effective September 15, 2007, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D airspace designation
listed in this document would be
published subsequently in the Order.
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 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.
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 the airspace necessary
to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
since it improves the safety of aircraft
executing IFR procedures at Sherman/
Denison, Grayson County Airport, TX.

SUMMARY: The Commission is
publishing this Concept Release to
obtain information about the extent and
nature of the public’s interest in revising
oil and gas reserves disclosure
requirements which exist in their
current form in Regulation S–K and
Regulation S–X under the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. The Commission adopted the
current oil and gas reserves disclosure
requirements between 1978 and 1982. In
the decades that have passed since the
adoption of these rules, there have been
significant changes in the oil and gas
industry. Some commentators have
expressed concern that the
Commission’s rules have not adapted to
current practices and may not provide
investors with the most useful picture of
oil and gas reserves public companies
hold.

I. Introduction
Throughout the Commission’s history,
our focus on the information needs of
investors in public companies has
caused us to continually re-evaluate the
disclosure requirements of the federal
securities laws. The extent and pace of
changes in the oil and gas industry, and
public concern that our oil and gas
reserves disclosure requirements are not
fully aligned with current industry
practice, have led us to reconsider those
requirements. Through this Concept
Release, the Commission seeks public
comment on our oil and gas reserves
disclosure requirements.1 While we set

use of International Financial Reporting Standards

Standards Board by U.S. public companies. The
International Accounting Standards Board is also

forth a number of general and specific
questions, we welcome comments on
any other concerns commenters may
have related to these issues.
The current oil and gas reserves
disclosure requirements have been in
place for some time. The Energy Policy
and Conservation Act of 1975 directed
the Commission to ‘‘take such steps as
may be necessary to assure the
development and observance of
accounting practices to be followed in
the preparation of accounts by persons
engaged, in whole or in part, in the
production of crude oil or natural gas in
the United States.’’ 2 In 1978, the
Commission issued Accounting Series
Release No. 253, which amended
Regulation S–X by adding new Rule 3–
18,3 the precursor to Rule 4–10 of
Regulation S–X.4 Rule 4–10 prescribes
the financial and reporting standards for
companies engaged in oil and gas
producing activities. Rule 4–10 defines
what constitutes oil and gas producing
activities and proved reserves.5 Item 102
of Regulation S–K, which the
Commission adopted in 1982, requires
that companies disclose their proved
reserves and prohibits them from
disclosing other categories of reserves.6
There have been significant
technological advancements, changes in
the oil and gas markets, and changes in
the types of projects in which
companies invest since the Commission
adopted these rules and disclosure
requirements. Many in the oil and gas
industry, including some oil and gas
companies, professional organizations
and analysts, believe that our oil and gas
reserves disclosure requirements have
not kept pace with industry changes.7

The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by establishing a Class D airspace area extending
upward from the surface to and including 3,300 feet MSL within a 5.0-
mile radius of Georgetown Municipal Airport, Georgetown, TX. The
establishment of an air traffic control tower has made this action
necessary. The intended effect of this proposal is to provide
controlled airspace for flight operations at Georgetown Municipal
Airport, TX. The area would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical
charts.
Class D airspace are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order
7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
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 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.
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 the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
since it improves the safety of aircraft executing IFR procedures at
