11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Distribution System, which describes
the application procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR part 71), which
would revoke the Class E airspace at the
Metlakatla Airport, in Metlakatla, AK.
The intended effect of this proposal is
to revoke Class E airspace due to the
removal of the instrument approaches at
the Metlakatla Airport, Metlakatla, AK.
Class E controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above
the surface in the Metlakatla Airport
area would be revoked by this action.
This action would result in the
removal of Class E airspace depicted on
affected aeronautical charts. The
coordinates for this airspace docket are
based on North American Datum 83.
The Class E airspace areas designated as
700/1200 foot transition areas are
published in paragraph 6005 in FAA
Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, signed August 15,
2007, and effective September 15, 2007,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
would be subsequently removed from
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.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 202 / Friday, October 17, 2008 / Proposed Rules
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 1, 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 1, Section
40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace.
Under that section, the FAA is charged
with prescribing regulations to ensure
the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace. This regulation is
within the scope of that authority
because it proposes to remove Class E
airspace at the Metlakatla Airport, AK,
and represents the FAA’s continuing
effort to safely and efficiently use the
navigable airspace.

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange
Commission is reopening the period for
public comment on new rules that it
originally proposed in Securities Act
Release No. 8933 (June 25, 2008) [73 FR
37752 (July 1, 2008)]. The Commission
proposed a rule that would, if adopted,
define the terms ‘‘annuity contract’’ and
‘‘optional annuity contract’’ under the
Securities Act of 1933. The proposed
rule is intended to clarify the status
under the federal securities laws of
indexed annuities. The Commission
also proposed to exempt insurance
companies from filing reports under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with
respect to indexed annuities and other
securities that are registered under the
Securities Act, provided that the
securities are regulated under state
insurance law, the issuing insurance
company and its financial condition are
subject to supervision and examination
by a state insurance regulator, and the
securities are not publicly traded.
DATES: Comments should be received on
or before November 17, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be

The
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is reopening the period
for public comment on a proposed rule
that would define the terms ‘‘annuity
contract’’ and ‘‘optional annuity
contract’’ under the Securities Act of
1933. The proposed rule is intended to
clarify the status under the federal
securities laws of indexed annuities,
under which payments to the purchaser
are dependent on the performance of a
securities index. The Commission is
also reopening the period for public
comment on a proposed rule that
would, if adopted, exempt insurance
companies from filing reports under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with
respect to indexed annuities and other
securities that are registered under the
Securities Act, provided that the
securities are regulated under state
insurance law, the issuing insurance
company and its financial condition are
subject to supervision and examination
by a state insurance regulator, and the
securities are not publicly traded. The
rules were proposed on June 25, 2008,1
