Download as PDF 26556 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 88 / Tuesday, May 7, 2013 / Proposed Rules practicable to make payments could alter the total payments received by various consumers. As a final example, any changes that limit the amount of funds that the Fund Administrator may allocate to consumer education and financial literacy programs would shift potential benefits from consumers who benefit from these programs to other consumers. The revisions to the Final Rule discussed in this rule would not have a unique impact on rural consumers. Since the amendments would not have any impact on covered persons, they also have no impact on insured depository institutions or insured credit unions with less than $10 billion in assets as described in section 1026(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act. emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS VI. Regulatory Requirements The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, requires each agency to consider the potential impact of its regulations on small entities, including small businesses, small governmental units, and small not-for-profit organizations. The RFA defines a ‘‘small business’’ as a business that meets the size standard developed by the Small Business Administration pursuant to the Small Business Act.4 The RFA generally requires an agency to conduct an initial regulatory flexibility analysis (IRFA) and a final regulatory flexibility analysis (FRFA) of any rule subject to notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements, unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.5 The Bureau also is subject to certain additional procedures under the RFA involving the convening of a panel to consult with small business representatives prior to proposing a rule for which an IRFA is required.6 The undersigned certifies that this proposed rule would not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. The Final Rule and proposed alternatives set forth only what Civil Penalty Fund payments the Bureau will make to victims and the procedures for allocating funds for such payments and for consumer education and financial literacy programs. The rule would not impose any substantive requirements on any small entities. 45 U.S.C. 601(3). The Bureau may establish an alternative definition after consultation with the Small Business Administration and an opportunity for public comment. 5 5 U.S.C. 603–605. 6 5 U.S.C. 609.

Paperwork Reduction Act The Bureau has determined that neither the Final Rule nor any of the alternatives proposed in this notice of proposed rulemaking imposes any new recordkeeping, reporting, or disclosure requirements on covered entities or members of the public that would constitute collections of information requiring approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Comments on this determination may be submitted to the Bureau as instructed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice and to the attention of the Paperwork Reduction Act Officer.

Models PA–18 and PA–19 airplanes. The proposed airworthiness directive (AD) would have required either moving all toggle-style magneto switches located on the left cabin panel, adjacent to the front seat, away from this position; or replacing these switches with FAA-approved, non-keyed, rotarystyle switches. Since issuance of the NPRM, the FAA has re-evaluated this airworthiness concern and determined that an unsafe condition does not exist that would warrant AD action. This withdrawal does not prevent the FAA from initiating future rulemaking on this subject.

The Proposal The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to remove Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Clinton County Airport, Plattsburgh, NY, due to the airport’s closure. Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface would be established within a 12.6-mile radius of Plattsburgh International Airport, Plattsburgh, NY to support new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures developed at the airport. The Clinton County Airport has closed, requiring airspace reorganization in the Plattsburgh, NY area, and for the continued safety and management of IFR operations. Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, and effective September 15, 2012, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The FAA has determined that this proposed 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. Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, does 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 I, 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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope of that authority as it E:\FR\FM\07MYP1.SGM 07MYP1

Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
that would have applied to all Piper Aircraft, Inc. (type certificate 
previously held by The New Piper Aircraft Inc.) Models PA-18 and PA-19 
airplanes. The proposed airworthiness directive (AD) would have 
required either moving all toggle-style magneto switches located on the 
left cabin panel, adjacent to the front seat, away from this position; 
or replacing these switches with FAA-approved, non-keyed, rotary-style 
switches. Since issuance of the NPRM, the FAA has re-evaluated this 
airworthiness concern and determined that an unsafe condition does not 
exist that would warrant AD action. This withdrawal does not prevent 
the FAA from initiating future rulemaking on this subject.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. 
That NPRM published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2012 (77 FR 
42455). That NPRM proposed to require you to either move all toggle-
style magneto switches located on the left cabin panel, adjacent to the 
front seat, away from this position; or replace these switches with 
FAA-approved, non-keyed, rotary-style switches.
    Because of the comments received on the NPRM (77 FR 42455, July 19, 
2012), the FAA re-evaluated the data collected on the safety concern 
and concluded that:
     an unsafe condition warranting AD action does not exist; 
and
     the associated level of risk does not warrant AD action.
    To mitigate the safety concern from recurring, the FAA may take 
another airworthiness action such as a special airworthiness 
information bulletin (SAIB) to recommend the actions contained in the 
proposed rule and capture the concerns identified by the public during 
the NPRM (77 FR 42455, July 19, 2012) comment period.
    Withdrawal of this NPRM (77 FR 42455, July 19, 2012) constitutes 
only such action and does not preclude the agency from issuing future 
rulemaking on this issue, nor does it commit the agency to any course 
of action in the future.

Regulatory Findings

    Since this action only withdraws an NPRM, it is neither a proposed 
nor a final rule and therefore, is not covered under Executive Order 
12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT Regulatory Policies and 
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979).

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by 
reference, Safety.

The Withdrawal

    Accordingly, the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), FAA-2012-
0756, published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2012 (77 FR 42455), 
is withdrawn.
