You must mark the information that you consider proprietary or confidential. If you send the information on a disk or CD–ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD–ROM and also identify electronically within the disk or CD–ROM the specific information that is proprietary or confidential. Under 14 CFR 11.35(b), when we are aware of proprietary information filed with a comment, we do not place it in the docket. We hold it in a separate file to which the public does not have access, and place a note in the docket that we have received it. If we receive a request to examine or copy this information, we treat it as any other request under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). We process such a request under the DOT procedures found in 49 CFR part 7. Background On June 29, 2010, the FAA issued Notice No. 10–10, entitled ‘‘Airplane and Engine Certification Requirements in Supercooled Large Drop, Mixed Phase, and Ice Crystal Icing Conditions’’ (75 FR 37311, Docket No. FAA–2010– 0636). Comments to that document were to be received on or before August 30, 2010. By letter dated July 9, 2010, Bombardier Aerospace (Bombardier) advised that the comment period for NPRMs has typically been 90 days for proposed rule changes of far lesser significance and complexity. Given the potential impact of the rule, and the magnitude of the effort required to review it, Bombardier stated that the comment period should be 120 days instead of 60 days. By letter dated July 26, 2010, Turbomeca Groupe SAFRAN (Turbomeca) also requested an extension to the comment period from 60 days to 120 days, citing the same reasons as Bombardier. While the FAA concurs with Bombardier and Turbomeca’s assessments of the NPRM’s significance and complexity, we do not support extending the comment period for an additional 60 days. The NPRM went through the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) process, which gave the aviation industry the opportunity to become familiar with the content of the NPRM. The ARAC working group that provided recommendations for the NPRM was comprised of members from the FAA, the European Aviation Safety Agency, and the aviation industry, including Bombardier. Because of the significant industry involvement in the rulemaking process for this NPRM, a 120-day VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:10 Aug 13, 2010 Jkt 220001 comment period is not justified and would adversely impact the final rulemaking process. However, the FAA does support a 90-day comment period by adding an additional 30 days to the current comment period. A 90-day comment period is consistent with other recent rulemaking activities associated with aircraft icing. Absent unusual circumstances, the FAA does not anticipate any further extension of the comment period for this rulemaking. ADDRESSES: Extension of Comment Period In accordance with § 11.47(c) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, the FAA has reviewed Bombardier and Turbomeca’s petitions for extension of the comment period to Notice No. 10– 10. Bombardier and Turbomeca have shown a substantive interest in the proposed rule and good cause for the extension. The FAA has determined that an extension of the comment period is consistent with the public interest, and that good cause exists for taking this action. Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 10–10 is extended until September 29, 2010.

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Klamath Falls Airport, Klamath Falls, OR. Decommissioning of the Merrill NDB and cancellation of the NDB approach has made this action necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. The geographic coordinates of the Klamath Falls Airport, and the Klamath Falls VHF Omni-Directional Radio Range Tactical Air Navigation Aid (VORTAC) for Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, also would be adjusted in accordance with the FAA’s National Aeronautical Navigation Services (NANS). The airport name would be corrected from Klamath Falls International Airport to Klamath Falls Airport. Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace designation listed VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:10 Aug 13, 2010 Jkt 220001 in this document will be published subsequently in this Order. The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed 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 this proposed rule, when promulgated, would 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes the authority for 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 the 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 would amend controlled airspace at Klamath Falls Airport, Klamath Falls, OR. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air). The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows: PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending the Class E airspace area 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Klamath Falls 
Airport, Klamath Falls, OR. Decommissioning of the Merrill NDB and 
cancellation of the NDB approach has made this action necessary for the 
safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. The geographic 
coordinates of the Klamath Falls Airport, and the Klamath Falls VHF 
Omni-Directional Radio Range Tactical Air Navigation Aid (VORTAC) for 
Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D airspace, and 
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, also 
would be adjusted in accordance with the FAA's National Aeronautical 
Navigation Services (NANS). The airport name would be corrected from 
Klamath Falls International Airport to Klamath Falls Airport.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
paragraph 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 
7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, 
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and 
Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore, this proposed 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 this proposed rule, when 
promulgated, would 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes 
the authority for 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 the 
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 would amend controlled airspace at Klamath Falls Airport, Klamath 
Falls, OR.
