SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Energy Policy and Conservation Act of
1975 (EPCA), as amended, directed the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to
prescribe energy conservation standards
for beverage vending machines (42
U.S.C. 6295(v)). DOE published a final
rule establishing standards 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))
On June 4, 2013, DOE published a
notice of public meeting and availability
of Framework Document to consider
amending the energy conservation
standards for refrigerated beverage
vending machines (78 FR 33262). The
notice requested public comment from
interested parties and provided for the
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
submission of comments by July 19,
2013. Thereafter, Royal Vendors, Inc.
requested an extension of the public
comment period by 90 days to October
10, 2013, in order to allow small
manufacturers to evaluate the wide
range of topics on which comments
have been requested by DOE.
DOE believes that extending the
comment period by 30 days to allow
additional time for interested parties to
submit comments is appropriate.
Therefore, DOE is extending the
comment period until August 16, 2013
to provide interested parties additional
time to prepare and submit comments.
Accordingly, DOE will consider any
comments received by August 16, 2013
to be timely submitted.
Issued in Washington, DC, on July 3, 2013.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy

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 designated as an extension to
Class D surface area at Snohomish
County Airport, Everett, WA. A segment
would extend from the 4.5-mile radius
of the airport to 8 miles northwest of the
airport. This action was initiated by a
biennial review of the airspace and is
necessary for the safety and
management of aircraft departing and
arriving under IFR operations at the
airport. Also, the geographic coordinates
of the airport would be updated to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6004 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 designations
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
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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 proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority as it
would modify controlled airspace at
Snohomish County Airport (Paine
Field), WA.

The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, pursuant to the
authority delegated to me, the Federal

This action would contain aircraft while
in IFR conditions under control of Salt

Class E airspace designations are
