SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Part B 1 of the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA),
Public Law 94–163 (42 U.S.C. 6291–
6309) established the Energy
Conservation Program for Consumer
Products Other Than Automobiles, a
program covering most major household
appliances.2 EPCA directed DOE to
prescribe energy conservation standards
for beverage vending machines (42
U.S.C. 6295(v)), and DOE published a
final rule for beverage vending
machines on August 31, 2009. (74 FR at
44914).
Within 6 years after issuance of any
final rule establishing or amending a
standard, EPCA also requires DOE to
publish a notice determining whether to
amend such standards. If DOE
determines that amendment is
warranted, DOE must also issue a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NOPR)
including new proposed energy
conservation standards by that same
date. (42 U.S.C. 6295(m)(1)) DOE
prepared this Framework document to
consider amending the energy
conservation standards for refrigerated
beverage vending machines. This
document explains the relevant issues,
analyses, and processes DOE anticipates
using to determine whether to amend
the standards, and, if so, for the
development of such amended
standards. The focus of the public
meeting noted above will be to discuss
the information presented and issues
identified in the Framework document.
At the public meeting, DOE will make
presentations and invite discussion on
the rulemaking process as it applies to
refrigerated beverage vending machines.
DOE will also solicit comments, data,
and information from participants and
other interested parties.
DOE is planning to conduct in-depth
technical analyses in the following
areas: (1) Engineering; (2) energy use; (3)
life-cycle cost and payback period; (4)
national impacts; (5) manufacturer
impacts; (6) emissions impacts; (7)
utility impacts; (8) employment
impacts; and (9) regulatory impacts.
Additionally, DOE will also conduct

several other analyses to support these
analyses, including the market and
technology assessment, the screening
analysis (which contributes to the
engineering analysis), the markups
analysis (which contributes to the lifecycle cost and payback period analysis),
and the shipments analysis (which
contributes to the national impacts
analysis).
Public Participation
DOE encourages those who wish to
participate in the public meeting to
obtain the Framework document and to
be prepared to discuss its contents. A
copy of the Framework document is
available at: https://

Public meeting participants need not
limit their comments to the issues
identified in the Framework document.
DOE is also interested in comments on
other relevant issues that participants
believe would affect energy
conservation standards for this
equipment, applicable test procedures,
or the preliminary determination on the
scope of coverage. DOE invites all
interested parties, whether or not they
participate in the public meeting, to
submit in writing by July 19, 2013
comments and information on matters
addressed in the Framework document
and on other matters relevant to DOE’s
consideration of coverage and standards
for refrigerated beverage vending
machines.
The public meeting will be conducted
in an informal, facilitated, conference
style. There shall be no discussion of
proprietary information, costs or prices,
market shares, or other commercial
matters regulated by U.S. antitrust laws.
A court reporter will record the
proceedings of the public meeting, after
which a transcript will be available at:
https://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/

ruleid/73 and available for purchase
from the court reporter.
After the public meeting and the close
of the comment period on the
Framework document, DOE will collect
additional data, conduct the analyses as
discussed in the Framework document
and at the public meeting, and review
the public comments received.
DOE considers public participation to
be a very important part of the process
for determining whether to establish
energy conservation standards and, if
so, in setting those standards. DOE
actively encourages the participation
and interaction of the public during the
comment period in each stage of the
rulemaking process. Beginning with the

Framework document, and during each
subsequent public meeting and
comment period, interactions with and
among members of the public provide a
balanced discussion of the issues to
assist DOE in the standards rulemaking
process. Accordingly, anyone who
wishes to participate in the public
meeting, receive meeting materials, or
be added to the DOE mailing list to
receive future notices and information
about this rulemaking should contact

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking Distribution
System, which describes the application
procedure.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), part 71 by amending Class D
airspace and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to accommodate new standard
instrument approach procedures and
the decommissioning of the Garys LOM
at San Marcos Municipal Airport, San
Marcos, TX. Accordingly, small
segments of Class D airspace would
extend west and north from the current
4.2-mile radius of the airport to 11.8
miles north of the airport, and small
segments of Class E airspace would
extend west, east, southeast and south
of the 6.7-mile radius of the airport to
retain the safety and management of IFR
aircraft in Class D and Class E airspace
to/from the en route environment.
Geographic coordinates for San Marcos
Municipal Airport and Lockhart
Municipal Airport would also be
updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
Class D airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 5000, and Class E airspace
areas 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 D and Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
would 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 will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that 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 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 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 would
amend controlled airspace at San
Marcos Municipal Airport, San Marcos,
TX.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E,

The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), part 71 by amending Class D airspace and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to accommodate new
standard instrument approach procedures and the decommissioning of the
Garys LOM at San Marcos Municipal Airport, San Marcos, TX. Accordingly,
small segments of Class D airspace would extend west and north from the
current 4.2-mile radius of the airport to 11.8 miles north of the
airport, and small segments of Class E airspace would extend west,
east, southeast and south of the 6.7-mile radius of the airport to
retain the safety and management of IFR aircraft in Class D and Class E
airspace to/from the en route environment. Geographic coordinates for
San Marcos Municipal Airport and Lockhart Municipal Airport would also
be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Class D airspace areas are published in Paragraph 5000, and Class E
airspace areas 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 D and Class E airspace designations
listed in this document would 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
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that 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 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 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 would amend controlled airspace at San Marcos Municipal Airport,
San Marcos, TX.
