SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: History On Friday, July 29, 2011, the FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register to revise Class E airspace at Northway, AK (76 FR 45475). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. One comment was received that the Northway VORTAC and coordinates should not be referred to in the E5 airspace designation. The FAA found merit in that and removes reference to the Northway VORTAC and its coordinates from the E5 airspace description in this rule. Subesequent to publication, the FAA found that the geographic coordinates of the airports needed to be adjusted. This action makes the adjustment. PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 The Class E airspace areas are published in paragraphs 6002 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9V, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed September 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. With the exception of editorial changes, and the changes described above, this rule is the same as that proposed in the NPRM. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by revising Class E airspace at the Northway Airport, Northway, AK, to accommodate the amendment of a standard instrument approach procedure. This Class E surface airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 and 1,200 feet above the surface is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. The rule also adjusts the coordinates for the Northway Airport to bring them in concert with those on record in the FAA’s aeronautical database. 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. 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. Because this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: I. Background The MTOR prohibits sellers from soliciting mail or telephone order sales unless the sellers have a reasonable basis to expect that they will be able to PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 60715 ship the ordered merchandise within the time stated on the solicitation, or, if no time is stated, within 30 days of receipt of an order. The MTOR further requires a seller to seek the buyer’s consent to the delayed shipment when the seller learns that it cannot ship within the time stated or, if no time is stated, within 30 days. If the buyer does not consent, the seller must promptly refund all money paid for the unshipped merchandise. The Commission originally promulgated the Mail Order Rule (as the Rule was originally known) in 1975 in response to complaints that many mail order sellers failed to ship ordered merchandise, failed to ship merchandise on time, or failed to provide prompt refunds for unshipped merchandise. The Commission issued the Rule pursuant to its authority under sections 5 and 18 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (‘‘FTC Act’’), 15 U.S.C. 45 and 57a, to proscribe these deceptive and unfair acts or practices.1 A second proceeding, ending in 1993, demonstrated that consumers who ordered merchandise by telephone experienced the same shipment and refund problems. Accordingly, the Commission amended the Rule to cover merchandise ordered by telephone and renamed the Rule the ‘‘Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule.’’ 2 The Commission reviews all its rules and guides periodically to obtain information about their costs and benefits and their economic and regulatory impact. As part of this review process, the Commission published a request seeking public comments on the costs and benefits of the Rule and the continuing need for the Rule.3 In 1 Federal Trade Commission: Part 435—Mail Order Merchandise: Promulgation of Trade Regulation Rule, 40 FR 49492–94 (Oct. 22, 1975); Federal Trade Commission: Part 435—Mail Order Merchandise: Promulgation of Trade Regulation Rule: Correction, 40 FR 51582–597 (Nov. 5, 1975) (‘‘Promulgation of Rule: Correction’’), The Commission initiated the rulemaking in 1971 under section 6(g) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(g), and had substantially completed the rulemaking when Congress amended the FTC Act by adopting section 18, 15 U.S.C. 57a. By operation of law, the Mail Order Rule was then treated as having been promulgated under authority of section 18. See United States v. JS&A Group, Inc., 547 F. Supp. 20, 23 (N.D.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Friday, July 29, 2011, the FAA published a notice of proposed 
rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register to revise Class E airspace at 
Northway, AK (76 FR 45475).
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
One comment was received that the Northway VORTAC and coordinates 
should not be referred to in the E5 airspace designation. The FAA found 
merit in that and removes reference to the Northway VORTAC and its 
coordinates from the E5 airspace description in this rule. Subesequent 
to publication, the FAA found that the geographic coordinates of the 
airports needed to be adjusted. This action makes the adjustment.
    The Class E airspace areas are published in paragraphs 6002 and 
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9V, Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points, signed September 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 
2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order. With the exception of editorial changes, and 
the changes described above, this rule is the same as that proposed in 
the NPRM.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by revising Class E airspace at the Northway Airport, Northway, 
AK, to accommodate the amendment of a standard instrument approach 
procedure. This Class E surface airspace and Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 and 1,200 feet above the surface is necessary for the 
safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. The rule also 
adjusts the coordinates for the Northway Airport to bring them in 
concert with those on record in the FAA's aeronautical database.
    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. 
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. Because this is a routine matter that 
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule 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

[[Page 60715]]

within the scope of that authority because it creates Class E airspace 
sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing instrument procedures 
for the Northway Airport and represents the FAA's continuing effort to 
safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.
