responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify this proposed regulation:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska, and
(3) Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities

Safety.
The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part
39 as follows:
PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
§ 39.13
[Amended]
2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding
the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):
■
Saab AB, Support and Services (Formerly
Known as Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics):
Docket No. FAA–2020–0840; Project
Identifier MCAI–2020–00907–T.
(a) Comments Due Date
The FAA must receive comments by
October 30, 2020.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to all Saab AB, Support
and Services (Formerly Known as Saab AB,

any category.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of
America Code 32, Landing Gear.
(e) Reason
This AD was prompted by reports that
certain nose landing gear (NLG) door
attachment bolts are susceptible to hydrogen
embrittlement. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address NLG door attachment bolts that were
incorrectly manufactured and are susceptible
to hydrogen embrittlement, decreasing the
mechanical characteristics. This condition
could lead to failure of the affected parts,
which would impair the link between the
NLG and NLG door and could prevent the
extension or retraction of the NLG, and cause

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated July 21, 2020, and effective
September 15, 2020. FAA Order
7400.11E is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by modifying the
lateral dimensions of the Class D,
establishing a new Class E surface area
and establishing a Class E extension to
the Class D and Class E surface areas.
The Class D would be expanded from
3.5 miles to within a 4-mile radius of
the airport, excluding the airspace in the
Oakland Metropolitan Airport Class C
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
57171
Surface Area. The extension 1.8 miles
each side of the 119° bearing to the
southeast is no longer needed and
would be removed. These modifications
would bring the airspace up to current
standards and provide additional
protection for circling.
Class E airspace extending upward
from the surface would be established
with the same lateral boundaries as the
Class D. This would provide improved
safety for operations within this area
when the Airport Traffic Control Tower
is not staffed.
Class E airspace as an extension to the
Class D and Class E surface areas would
be established to capture aircraft as they
descend through 1,000 feet AGL while
using the RNAV Approach to Runway
28L.
In addition, the term Airport Facility/
Directory would be replaced with Chart
Supplement, the name of the airport and
the geographical coordinates for
Hayward Executive and Metropolitan
Oakland International airports would be
updated to match the FAA’s National
Airspace System Resource (NASR)
database.
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6002, 6004, of FAA Order
7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and
effective September 15, 2020, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
part 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the
Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. The Address Discrepancy Rule
The Fair and Accurate Credit
Transactions Act of 2003 (‘‘FACT Act’’)
was signed into law on December 4,
2003. Public Law 108–159, 117 Stat.
1952. The FACT Act added section
605(h) to the Fair Credit Reporting Act
(‘‘FCRA’’), requiring a national
consumer reporting agency (‘‘CRA’’) that
receives a request for a consumer report
that contains an address substantially
different from the address on file for the
consumer to notify the requester of the
existence of the discrepancy.1 Section
605(h) also required federal banking
agencies, the National Credit Union
Administration and the FTC to issue
regulations providing guidance
regarding reasonable policies and
procedures that a user of a consumer
report should employ when the user
receives a notice of such discrepancy.2
In 2007, the agencies issued the Address
Discrepancy Rule to satisfy this
requirement.3
The Address Discrepancy Rule
requires users of consumer reports to
develop and implement reasonable
policies and procedures designed to
enable the user to form a reasonable
belief that a consumer report relates to
the consumer about whom it has
requested a consumer report, when the
user receives a notice of address
discrepancy.4 Users must also develop
and implement reasonable policies and
procedures for furnishing an address for
the consumer that the user has
reasonably confirmed as accurate to the
CRA from whom it received the notice
when the user (1) can confirm that the
consumer report relates to the consumer
about whom the user requested the
report, (2) establishes a continuing
relationship with the consumer, and (3)

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective
September 15, 2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying the lateral dimensions of the
Class D, establishing a new Class E surface area and establishing a
Class E extension to the Class D and Class E surface areas.
The Class D would be expanded from 3.5 miles to within a 4-mile
radius of the airport, excluding the airspace in the Oakland
Metropolitan Airport Class C Surface Area. The extension 1.8 miles each
side of the 119[deg] bearing to the southeast is no longer needed and
would be removed. These modifications would bring the airspace up to
current standards and provide additional protection for circling.
Class E airspace extending upward from the surface would be
established with the same lateral boundaries as the Class D. This would
provide improved safety for operations within this area when the
Airport Traffic Control Tower is not staffed.
Class E airspace as an extension to the Class D and Class E surface
areas would be established to capture aircraft as they descend through
1,000 feet AGL while using the RNAV Approach to Runway 28L.
In addition, the term Airport Facility/Directory would be replaced
with Chart Supplement, the name of the airport and the geographical
coordinates for Hayward Executive and Metropolitan Oakland
International airports would be updated to match the FAA's National
Airspace System Resource (NASR) database.
Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraph 5000, 6002, 6004, of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020,
and effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in
14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this
document will be published subsequently in the Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this 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.
