The Proposal The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71, which would revise Class E airspace at the Manokotak Airport, Manokotak, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to revise Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the Manokotak Airport, Manokotak, AK. The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch has created two new SIAPs for the Manokotak Airport and one textual ODP. The SIAPs are (1) the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 03, Original and (2) the RNAV (GPS) RWY 21, Original. Textual ODPs are unnamed and are published in the front of the U.S. Terminal Procedures for Alaska. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface in the Manokotak Airport area would be revised by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing the instrument procedures at the Manokotak Airport, Manokotak, AK. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 foot transition areas are E:\FR\FM\01SEP1.SGM 01SEP1 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 168 / Tuesday, September 1, 2009 / Proposed Rules published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document would be subsequently published 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. 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 revise Class E airspace at Manokotak Airport, Manokotak, AK, and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace. mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with PROPOSALS List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). SUMMARY: The Cameron Gulbransen Kids Transportation Safety Act of 2007 (the ‘‘K.T. Safety Act of 2007’’) directs NHTSA to consider amending the Federal motor vehicle safety standard PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 45143 aimed at minimizing the likelihood of death or injury from the accidental operation of power window systems. The amendment would require power windows and panels on motor vehicles to automatically reverse direction when such power windows and panels detect an obstruction to prevent children and others from being trapped, injured, or killed. In the event that NHTSA chooses not to require power windows and panels on motor vehicles to automatically reverse direction when such power windows and panels detect an obstruction, the Act requires that the agency submit a report to Congress describing why such standards were not prescribed and publish a list of vehicles that are or are not equipped with power windows and panels that automatically reverse direction when an obstruction is detected. In this document, NHTSA summarizes its most recent rulemakings related to power window hazards and the types of injuries and fatalities they were aimed at mitigating; discusses its current assessment of the number and causes of the remaining deaths and injuries related to power windows; and analyzes the means of mitigating those remaining injuries and fatalities. While the agency analyzed and considered the benefits of installing automatic reversal systems in all types of vehicle windows, including front and rear main windows, sunroofs, and small ‘‘vent’’ windows, NHTSA is proposing to require automatic reversal systems on ‘‘expressup’’ or ‘‘one-touch closing’’ windows, i.e., those windows that close without continuous actuation of the window switch by the window operator. We believe that this is an efficient, targeted rule that would close this gap in our power window safety requirements. We are also seeking comments on a broader requirement for automatic reversal systems, and could include such a requirement in a final rule. Additionally, we will be providing consumers with information regarding which vehicles are equipped with automatic reversal systems at https:// www.safercar.gov by October 2009.

System, which describes the application procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71, which would revise Class E airspace at 
the Manokotak Airport, Manokotak, AK. The intended effect of this 
proposal is to revise Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 
ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations at the Manokotak Airport, Manokotak, AK.
    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance 
Branch has created two new SIAPs for the Manokotak Airport and one 
textual ODP. The SIAPs are (1) the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 
Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 03, Original and (2) the RNAV 
(GPS) RWY 21, Original. Textual ODPs are unnamed and are published in 
the front of the U.S. Terminal Procedures for Alaska. Class E 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above 
the surface in the Manokotak Airport area would be revised by this 
action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in size to contain aircraft 
executing the instrument procedures at the Manokotak Airport, 
Manokotak, AK.
    The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 foot transition 
areas are

[[Page 45143]]

published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations 
and Reporting Points, signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 
2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designations listed in this document would be subsequently 
published 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.
    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 revise Class E airspace at Manokotak Airport, Manokotak, 
AK, and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and 
efficiently use the navigable airspace.
