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

Availability and Summary of
Documents Proposed for Incorporation
by Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 6, 2014, and effective
September 15, 2014. FAA Order
7400.9Y is publicly available as listed in
the ADDRESSES section of this proposed
rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), Part 71 by modifying Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface for standard
instrument approach procedures (SIAP)
at Chillicothe Municipal Airport,
Chillicothe, MO; Cuba Municipal
Airport, Cuba, MO; Farmington
Regional Airport, Farmington, MO;
Lamar Municipal Airport, Lamar, MO;
Mountain View Airport, Mountain
View, MO; Nevada Municipal Airport,
Nevada, MO; and Poplar Bluff
Municipal Airport, Poplar Bluff, MO.
Also, Class E airspace extending upward
from the surface would be amended at
Farmington Regional Airport,
Farmington, MO. Airspace
reconfiguration is necessary due to the
decommissioning of NDBs and/or
cancellation of the NDB approach at
each airport. Controlled airspace is
necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations for SIAPs
at the airports. Geographic coordinates
also would be adjusted for Lamar
Municipal Airport, Lamar, MO; Nevada
Municipal Airport, Nevada, MO; and
Poplar Bluff Municipal Airport, Poplar
Bluff, MO, to coincide with the FAAs
aeronautical database.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and
effective September 15, 2014, 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.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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.
Environmental Review
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.

U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
The Consumer Product Safety
Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘CPSC’’)
is proposing to determine that
unfinished and untreated trunk wood
does not contain heavy elements that
would exceed the limits specified in the
Commission’s toy standard, ASTM
F963–11. Based on this proposed
determination, unfinished and
untreated trunk wood in toys would not
require third party testing. In the ‘‘Rules
and Regulations’’ section of this Federal
Register, the Commission is issuing this
determination as a direct final rule. If
we receive no significant adverse
comment in response to the direct final
rule, we will not take further action on
this proposed rule.
DATES: Submit comments by August 17,
2015.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. CPSC–2011–
0081, by any of the following methods:
Electronic Submissions: Submit
electronic comments to the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at:
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
The Commission does not accept
comments submitted by electronic mail
(email), except through
www.regulations.gov. The Commission
encourages you to submit electronic
comments by using the Federal
eRulemaking Portal, as described above.
Written Submissions: Submit written
submissions by mail/hand delivery/
courier to: Office of the Secretary,
Consumer Product Safety Commission,
Room 820, 4330 East West Highway,
Bethesda, MD 20814; telephone (301)

Along
with this proposed rule, CPSC is
publishing a direct final rule in the
‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this
issue of the Federal Register. This direct
final rule establishes a determination
that unfinished and untreated trunk
wood does not contain heavy elements
that would exceed the heavy elements
limits specified in the Commission’s
mandatory toy standard, ASTM F963–
11. Based on this determination,
unfinished and untreated trunk wood in
toys does not require third party testing.
CPSC did not issue a proposed rule
before today because CPSC believes that
this action is not controversial and
CPSC does not expect significant
adverse comment. CPSC has explained
the reasons for the determination in the
direct final rule. Unless CPSC receives
significant adverse comment regarding
the determination during the comment
period, the direct final rule in this issue
of the Federal Register will become
effective September 15, 2015, and CPSC
will not take further action on this
proposal. If CPSC receives a significant
adverse comment, CPSC will publish a
document in the Federal Register
withdrawing the direct final rule, and
the rule will not take effect. CPSC will
then respond to public comments in a
later final rule, based on this proposed
rule. CPSC does not intend to institute
a second comment period on this action.
Parties interested in commenting on this
determination must do so at this time.
For additional information, please see
the direct final rule published in the
‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this
issue of the Federal Register.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective
September 15, 2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for standard instrument approach procedures
(SIAP) at Chillicothe Municipal Airport, Chillicothe, MO; Cuba
Municipal Airport, Cuba, MO; Farmington Regional Airport, Farmington,
MO; Lamar Municipal Airport, Lamar, MO; Mountain View Airport, Mountain
View, MO; Nevada Municipal Airport, Nevada, MO; and Poplar Bluff
Municipal Airport, Poplar Bluff, MO. Also, Class E airspace extending
upward from the surface would be amended at Farmington Regional
Airport, Farmington, MO. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to
the decommissioning of NDBs and/or cancellation of the NDB approach at
each airport. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations for SIAPs at the airports. Geographic
coordinates also would be adjusted for Lamar Municipal Airport, Lamar,
MO; Nevada Municipal Airport, Nevada, MO; and Poplar Bluff Municipal
Airport, Poplar Bluff, MO, to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical
database.
Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15, 2014, 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.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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.
Environmental Review
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.
