Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 24, 2013 / Proposed Rules mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS 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 E airspace at Donlin Creek, AK, providing the controlled airspace required to support the new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approaches and departures at the Donlin Creek Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is required for IFR operations within a 2 mile radius of the airport with an extension from the 2mile radius to 8.5 miles northwest of the airport. This action would enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations at the airport. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of FAA Order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013, 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:25 Sep 23, 2013 Jkt 229001 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 Donlin Creek Airport, Donlin Creek, AK. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air). The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR Part 71 as follows: PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1. The authority citation for 14 CFR Part 71 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959– 1963 Comp., p. 389. § 71.1 [Amended] 2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of the Federal Aviation Administration Order 7400.9X, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013 is amended as follows: ■ Paragraph 6005 Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth. * * * AAL AK E5 * * Donlin Creek, AK [New] Donlin Creek Airport, AK (Lat. 62°01′57″ N., long. 158°14′11″ W.) That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 2-mile radius of Donlin Creek Airport, and within 2-miles each side of the 312° bearing extending from the 2-mile radius to 8.5-miles northwest of the airport. Issued in Seattle, Washington, on September 16, 2013. Clark Desing, Manager, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center.

Background DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY On September 4, 2012, the Commission issued an NPR to address the risk of injury posed by magnet sets. 77 FR 53781. The NPR defined ‘‘magnet set’’ as ‘‘any aggregation of separable, permanent, magnetic objects that is a consumer product intended or marketed by the manufacturer primarily as a manipulative or construction desk toy for general entertainment, such as puzzle working, sculpture building, mental stimulation, or stress relief.’’ As explained in the NPR, magnet sets can cause serious, life-threatening injuries. The NPR and staff’s briefing package are available on the Commission’s Web site at: https://www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/ 128934/magnetstd.pdf. Under the proposed rule, if a magnet that is part of a magnet set fits within the CPSC’s small parts cylinder, the magnet would be required to have a flux index of 50 or less, or the magnet set would violate the standard. The flux index would be determined by the method described in ASTM F963–11, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety. These requirements would be issued under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). Federal Energy Regulatory Commission mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS B. The Public Meeting The CPSA requires that the Commission provide an opportunity for the ‘‘oral presentation of data, views, or arguments,’’ in addition to written comments, when the Commission develops a consumer product safety standard. 15 U.S.C. 2058(d)(2). Thus, the Commission is providing this forum for oral presentations concerning the proposed magnet set standard.

Participants should limit their presentations to approximately 10 minutes, exclusive of any periods of questioning by the Commissioners or CPSC staff. To prevent duplicative presentations, groups will be directed to designate a spokesperson.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 58492]]

A. Background

    On September 4, 2012, the Commission issued an NPR to address the 
risk of injury posed by magnet sets. 77 FR 53781. The NPR defined 
``magnet set'' as ``any aggregation of separable, permanent, magnetic 
objects that is a consumer product intended or marketed by the 
manufacturer primarily as a manipulative or construction desk toy for 
general entertainment, such as puzzle working, sculpture building, 
mental stimulation, or stress relief.'' As explained in the NPR, magnet 
sets can cause serious, life-threatening injuries. The NPR and staff's 
briefing package are available on the Commission's Web site at: https://www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/128934/magnetstd.pdf. Under the proposed rule, 
if a magnet that is part of a magnet set fits within the CPSC's small 
parts cylinder, the magnet would be required to have a flux index of 50 
or less, or the magnet set would violate the standard. The flux index 
would be determined by the method described in ASTM F963-11, Standard 
Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety. These requirements would 
be issued under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA).

B. The Public Meeting

    The CPSA requires that the Commission provide an opportunity for 
the ``oral presentation of data, views, or arguments,'' in addition to 
written comments, when the Commission develops a consumer product 
safety standard. 15 U.S.C. 2058(d)(2). Thus, the Commission is 
providing this forum for oral presentations concerning the proposed 
magnet set standard. See the information under the headings DATES and 
ADDRESSES at the beginning of this notice for information on making 
requests to give oral presentations at the meeting.
    Participants should limit their presentations to approximately 10 
minutes, exclusive of any periods of questioning by the Commissioners 
or CPSC staff. To prevent duplicative presentations, groups will be 
directed to designate a spokesperson. The Commission reserves the right 
to limit the time further for any presentation and impose restrictions 
to avoid excessive duplication of presentations.

    Dated: September 19, 2013.

Secretary, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
