SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: History Issued in Washington, DC, on December 6, 2011. Pamela Hamilton-Powell, Director, Office of Rulemaking. On September 13, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend controlled airspace at Anaktuvuk Pass, AK (76 FR 56354). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Reference to the adjustment to the geographic coordinates of the airport was inadvertently omitted in the NPRM, and is now noted. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in that Order. [FR Doc. 2011–32333 Filed 12–15–11; 8:45 am] The Rule BILLING CODE 4910–13–P This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by revising Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, to accommodate the creation of two standard instrument approach procedures. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations. This action also brings the coordinates for the Anaktuvuk Pass Airport into agreement with the FAA’s aeronautical database. The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 71 jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES [Docket No. FAA–2011–0867; Airspace Docket No. 11–AAL–16] Amendment of Class E Airspace; Anaktuvuk Pass, AK Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

Therefore, this 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses 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 I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of 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 creates additional controlled airspace at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, Anaktuvuk, AK.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Department of Transportation issued a rule requiring that all airlines and ticket agents that advertise airfares or air tours must advertise the full fare to be paid for the air transportation or air tour, including all governmentimposed taxes and fees. This rule changes the Department’s past policy of permitting government taxes and fees imposed on a per-person basis, such as passenger facility charges and segment fees, to be stated separately from the advertised fare. The first time carriers and ticket agents must provide the full fare information in all fare advertisements, including their on-line reservations systems, is January 24, 2012. (76 FR 45181, July 28, 2011) On December 8, 2011, American Airlines (American) submitted a motion to the Department requesting a change of the effective date of the rule from the 24th to the 26th of January, because the 24th falls on a Tuesday, which it states is its busiest internet traffic and revenue day each week and may be the busiest for other sellers of air transportation as well. The carrier seeks to avoid having the complexities of rolling out the new pricing system when traffic and revenue activity is heaviest and any problems with the new system would be exacerbated. American points out that it is not feasible to implement the change earlier due to the extremely tight schedule necessary to complete its reprogramming and testing effort and that the requested 2-day extension will have no material negative effect on consumers. American asks that the requested relief apply to the Web sites of any party affected by the new rule, as well as to advertising that refers customers to Web sites for booking, such as that which appears on-line, in print, on television, and radio. American states that it informally canvassed several carriers and that the responses received were favorable. In addition, Department staff has informally heard from several organizations representing travel agencies and consumers which state they have no objection to the short extension requested. Other carriers as well as ticket agents have in the past advised us that reprogramming their on-line E:\FR\FM\16DER1.SGM 16DER1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On September 13, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend controlled airspace at 
Anaktuvuk Pass, AK (76 FR 56354). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Reference to the 
adjustment to the geographic coordinates of the airport was 
inadvertently omitted in the NPRM, and is now noted.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 
2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class 
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by revising Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface, at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, to accommodate the 
creation of two standard instrument approach procedures. This action is 
necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations. This action 
also brings the coordinates for the Anaktuvuk Pass Airport into 
agreement with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established 
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments 
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this 
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 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 U.S. 
Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses 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 I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with 
prescribing regulations to assign the use of 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 creates 
additional controlled airspace at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, Anaktuvuk, 
AK.
