This increase would allow for a lower Circling Minimum Descent Altitude, where Instrument Flight Rules Category E circling procedures are being used. Also, this action would add Peru, Grissom Air Reserve Base, IN, to the subtitle of the airspace designation. Controlled airspace is needed for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. Class D airspace areas are published in Section 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 2015, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D 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, is noncontroversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. 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, would 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 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Commission issued the Fuel Economy Guide (16 CFR part 259) on September 10, 1975 (40 FR 42003) to prevent deceptive fuel economy advertising for new automobiles and thus facilitate the use of fuel efficiency information in advertising. To accomplish this goal, the current Guide advises advertisers to disclose established EPA fuel economy estimates (e.g., miles per gallon or ‘‘MPG’’) whenever they make any fuel economy claim based on those estimates. In addition, if advertisers make claims based on non-EPA tests, the Guide advises them to disclose EPA-derived information and provide details about the non-EPA tests, such as the test’s source, driving conditions, and vehicle configurations. On April 28, 2009 (74 FR 19148), the Commission published a notice soliciting comments on proposed amendments to the Guide as part of its regulatory review program. The Commission then postponed its review in a June 1, 2011 notice (76 FR 31467) pending new fuel economy labeling requirements from the EPA and completion of the FTC’s Alternative Fuels Rule (16 CFR part 309) review. The Commission explained that Fuel Economy Guide revisions would be premature before the conclusion of these regulatory proceedings. With PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 those activities complete,1 the Commission resumed its review of the Guide on May 15, 2014) (79 FR 27820) (‘‘2014 Notice’’) seeking comment on potential amendments to address changes to the EPA and NHTSA (hereinafter ‘‘EPA’’) fuel economy labeling rules, address advertising for alternative fueled vehicles, and consider other advertising claims prevalent in the market. The Commission also announced plans to conduct consumer research on fuel economy advertising claims. After reviewing the comments generated by the 2014 Notice 2 and the consumer research results, the Commission proposes Guide amendments for comment. In considering these proposals, commenters should focus on information that helps advertisers avoid deceptive or unfair claims prohibited by the FTC Act.3 The Guide does not identify disclosures that are merely helpful or desirable to consumers. Likewise, commenters should not address the adequacy of EPA fuel economy test procedures or the accuracy of EPA label content. Such issues fall within the EPA’s purview and are generally outside the scope of the Guide. II. Consumer Research To aid the Commission in developing the proposed Guide amendments, the Commission conducted an Internetbased research study to explore consumer perceptions of certain fuel economy marketing claims.4 Using a 1 The Commission announced final revisions to the Alternative Fuels Rule in an April 23, 2013 Notice (78 FR 23832). In 2011, EPA and NHTSA completed revisions to their fuel economy labeling requirements, which, among other things, addressed labels for alternative fueled vehicles (AFVs) not specifically addressed in past EPA requirements. See 76 FR 39478 (July 6, 2011) (see 40 CFR parts 85, 86, and 600; and 49 CFR part 575). 2 The comments are available at https:// www.ftc.gov/policy/public-comments/initiative-573. The commenters included: Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (Alliance) (#00004), Association of Global Automakers, Inc. (AGA) (#00007), Consumer Federation of America (on behalf of several organizations) (referred herein as ‘‘consumer groups’’) (#00006), LaRosa (#00002), National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) (#00008), and Rodriguez (#00003). 3 15 U.S.C. 45(a). The Guides do not have the force and effect of law and are not independently enforceable. However, failure to comply with industry guides may result in law enforcement action under applicable statutory provisions. The Commission, therefore, can take action under the FTC Act if a business makes fuel economy claims inconsistent with the Guides. In any such enforcement action, the Commission must prove that the act or practice at issue is unfair or deceptive in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act. 4 The Commission announced the study in its May 2014 Notice and provided further information E:\FR\FM\06JNP1.SGM 06JNP1

    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, is 
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative 
comments. 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, would 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 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies 
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
