Mountain Regional Office of the Federal
Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Western Service Center,
Operations Support Group, 1601 Lind
Avenue SW., Renton, WA 98057.
Persons interested in being placed on
a mailing list for future NPRM’s should
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 establishing Class D
airspace and Class E airspace extending
upward from the surface at Camp
Guernsey Airport, Camp Guernsey, WY.
The establishment of an air traffic
control tower has made this action
necessary. The intended effect of this
proposal is to provide controlled
airspace for IFR operations at Camp
Guernsey Airport, Camp Guernsey, WY.
Class D airspace and Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph
5000 and 6002, respectively, 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 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
establish controlled airspace at Camp
Guernsey Airport, Camp Guernsey, WY
Within a 5-mile radius of Camp Guernsey
Airport, and within 1.5 miles each side of the
340° bearing of the airport, extending from
the 5-mile radius to 6.5 miles north of the
airport. This Class E airspace area is effective
during the specific dates and times
established in advance by a Notice to
Airmen. The effective date and time will
thereafter be continuously published in the
Airport/Facility Directory.

Title 21 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) in part 573 Food
Additives Permitted in Feed and
Drinking Water of Animals (21 CFR part

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 4, 2012, the Postal Service
filed a petition pursuant to 39 CFR
3050.11 requesting that the Commission
initiate an informal rulemaking
proceeding to consider changes in the
analytical methods approved for use in
periodic reporting.1
Proposal Six: Use of Foreign Postal
Settlement System as Sole Source for
Reporting of Inbound International
Revenue, Pieces, and Weights. The
Postal Service proposes to use the
Foreign Postal Settlement (FPS) system
as the sole source for the International
Cost and Revenue Analysis’s (ICRA)
reporting of Inbound International
revenue, pieces, and weight. The Postal
Service states that using the FPS data
source for the ICRA’s reporting of
Inbound International revenue, pieces,
and weight would improve the
consistency among the ICRA, RPW, and
financial statements, and that it would
eliminate the need to make separate
Booked Inbound International revenue
calculations 2 in the ICRA. Petition at 4.
Using FPS would also eliminate the
need for the ICRA to calculate inbound
volumes based on weight data from the
St. Louis Accounting Service Center
(ASC) coupled with estimated items per
kilogram data from System for
International Revenue and Volume
Inbound (SIRVI) sampling system.
However, the Postal Service also states
that this proposal does not entirely
eliminate the need for both the Booked
and Imputed versions because it does
not address the Outbound International
calculations. Id.
The Postal Service has filed as library
reference USPS–LR–RM2012–7–NP1 a
version of USPS–FY11–NP2 revised to
incorporate this proposal. This library
1 Petition of the United States Postal Service for
the Initiation of a Proceeding to Consider Proposed
Changes in Analytical Principles (Proposals Six and
Seven), September 4, 2012 (Petition).
2 The Postal Service has been producing two
versions of the ICRA, an Imputed version that relies
on ICRA model calculations and a Booked version
that forces the ICRA model revenue calculations to
agree with other financial statements.

reference is non-public. Id. at 2. The
Postal Service states that USPS–LR–
RM2012–7–NP1 displays two impacts:
(1) A comparison between the FY 2011
Imputed version as filed in USPS–
FY11–NP2 and the proposed
methodology; and (2) a comparison
between the FY 2011 Booked version as
filed in USPS–FY11–NP2 and the
proposed methodology. In the two
comparisons, pieces and weight based
on FPS increase 2.9 percent and 2.0
percent, respectively, over the USPS–
FY11–NP2 amounts. In the Imputed
versus proposed comparison, revenue
decreases 0.3 percent and volume
variable costs decrease 1.2 percent due
to changes in the distribution of
volumes and weights by country under
FPS. In the Booked versus proposed
comparison, revenue decreases 0.8
percent and volume variable costs are
essentially unchanged. Id. at 4–5.
Proposal Seven: Methodology Change
to Replace Parcel Densities in the
Transportation Cost System Highway
Subsystem. The Postal Service proposes
a methodology change to replace the
parcel densities in the Transportation
Cost System (TRACS) Highway
Subsystem. Id. at 6. These densities are
used to develop distribution keys to
assign volume-variable costs in Cost
Segment 8 (Vehicle Service Driver costs)
and Cost Segment 14 (purchased
transportation costs) to postal products.
The Postal Service states that currently,
separate study-based estimates of
mailpiece densities by mail category
and shape for letters, flats, and parcels
are required to convert sampled weight
information to cubic feet. Under the
proposed methodology, the study-based
parcel densities would be replaced with
parcel dimensional data now regularly
captured in TRACS-Highway tests. Id.
The Postal Service states that
beginning with Quarter 1 of FY 2012,
the TRACS-Highway Subsystem began
utilizing actual, measured length, width
and height information for parcelshaped pieces. Id. Attachment at 1. As
a result, the cubic foot component of the
cubic foot mile distribution key for
parcels can be determined directly from
the product of the three dimensions.
These direct measurements obviate the
need for Density-Study information and
periodic study updates for parcels. The
Postal Service believes that this
methodology is more reliable since
cubic feet information is continuously
updated automatically across sampling
periods. Id. For the subset of parcels
identified as irregular in shape, the
Origin-Destination System and Revenue,
Pieces, and Weight based factor of 0.785
would be applied. For all mail shapes,
no other changes would be required or
