Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Billings, MT, 20747-20749 [2012-8245]
Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 67 / Friday, April 6, 2012 / Proposed Rules
detail the scope of the Agency’s
authority.
We are issuing this rulemaking under
the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII,
Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701:
General requirements.’’ Under that
section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in
air commerce by prescribing regulations
for practices, methods, and procedures
the Administrator finds necessary for
safety in air commerce. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on
products identified in this rulemaking
action.
Regulatory Findings
We determined that this proposed AD
would not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This
proposed AD would not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on
the relationship between the national
Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify this proposed regulation:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in
Alaska; and
4. Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this proposed AD and placed it in the
AD docket.

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking,
(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory
Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which
describes the application procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Billings Logan
International Airport, Billings, MT.
Controlled airspace is necessary to
accommodate aircraft using RNAV
(GPS) standard instrument approach
procedures at Billings Logan
International Airport. Also, the
geographic coordinates of the airport
would be updated to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database. This
action would enhance the safety and
management of IFR operations at the
airport.
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
71.1. The 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
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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
modify controlled airspace at Billings
Logan International Airport, Billings,
MT.
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

The Securities and Exchange
Commission is reopening the period for
public comment on amendments it
originally proposed in Securities Act
Release No. 9126 to allow interested
persons to submit comments on the
results of investor testing regarding
target date retirement funds. The rule
proposal would, if adopted, require a
target date retirement fund that includes
the target date in its name to disclose
the fund’s asset allocation at the target
date immediately adjacent to the first
use of the fund’s name in marketing
materials; require marketing materials
for target date retirement funds to
include a table, chart, or graph depicting
the fund’s asset allocation over time,
together with a statement that would
highlight the fund’s final asset
allocation; require a statement in
marketing materials to the effect that a
target date retirement fund should not
be selected based solely on age or
retirement date, is not a guaranteed
investment, and the stated asset
allocations may be subject to change;
and provide additional guidance
regarding statements in marketing

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is reopening the period
for public comment on proposed rule
amendments that are intended to
provide enhanced information to
investors concerning target date
retirement funds and reduce the
potential for investors to be confused or
misled regarding these and other
investment companies. These
amendments were proposed on June 16,
2010,1 and the comment period initially
closed on August 23, 2010. The
Commission’s proposal would, if
adopted, amend rule 482 under the
Securities Act of 1933 and rule 34b–1
under the Investment Company Act of

1940 to require a target date retirement
fund that includes the target date in its
name to disclose the fund’s asset
allocation at the target date immediately
adjacent to the first use of the fund’s
name in marketing materials. The
proposal also would amend rule 482
and rule 34b–1 to require marketing
materials for target date retirement
funds to include a table, chart, or graph
depicting the fund’s asset allocation
over time, together with a statement that
would highlight the fund’s final asset
allocation. In addition, the proposal
would amend rule 482 and rule 34b–1
to require a statement in marketing
materials to the effect that a target date
retirement fund should not be selected
based solely on age or retirement date,
is not a guaranteed investment, and the
stated asset allocations may be subject
to change. Finally, the proposal would
amend rule 156 under the Securities Act
to provide additional guidance
regarding statements in marketing
materials for target date retirement
funds and other investment companies
that could be misleading.
The Commission recently engaged a
consultant to conduct empirical
research on individual investors’
understanding of target date retirement
funds and marketing materials related to
those funds. Investors participating in
an online survey were asked questions
about, among other things, documents
containing information about a
hypothetical target date retirement fund,
including information that would be
required by the proposed amendments,
if adopted. We have placed in the
comment file for the proposed rule
amendments the consultant’s report
concerning the online survey.2 In order
to provide all persons who are
interested in this matter an opportunity
to comment on this additional material,
we believe that it is appropriate to
reopen the comment period before we
take action on the proposal.
We invite additional comment on the
proposal in light of this material, and on
any other matters that may have an
effect on the proposal.
Accordingly, we will extend the
comment period until May 21, 2012.
Dated: April 3, 2012.
By the Commission.

Secretary.

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Billings Logan International
Airport, Billings, MT. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate
aircraft using RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at
Billings Logan International Airport. Also, the geographic coordinates
of the airport would be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database. This action would enhance the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport.
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 71.1. The 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 modify controlled airspace at Billings Logan International
Airport, Billings, MT.
This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
