Proposed Technical Amendment to
Separate Terminal Airspace Areas
from Norton Sound Low, Woody Island
Low, Control 1234L, and Control 1487L
Offshore Airspace Areas; Alaska
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
This action proposes to
amend the following Offshore Airspace
Areas in Alaska: Norton Sound Low,
Woody Island Low, Control 1234L, and
Control 1487L. The FAA found an error
with the Offshore Airspace Legal
Descriptions containing airspace
descriptions not related to the need to
apply IFR en route Air Traffic Control
services in international airspace. This
action would correct that error by
removing terminal airspace, airspace
associated with geographic coordinates,
and airspace associated with NAVAIDs
from the Offshore Airspace legal
descriptions.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received on
or before November 5, 2020.

Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle I, 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
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 regulation is within the
scope of that authority as it would
modify the route structure as necessary
to preserve the safe and efficient flow of
air traffic within the National Airspace
System.
Comments Invited
Interested parties are invited to
participate in this proposed rulemaking
by submitting such written data, views,
or arguments as they may desire.
Comments that provide the factual basis
supporting the views and suggestions
presented are particularly helpful in
developing reasoned regulatory
decisions on the proposal. Comments
are specifically invited on the overall
regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related
aspects of the proposal.

Background
A final rule was published in the
Federal Register for Docket No. FAA–
2006–25852 under Airspace Docket No.
06–AAL–29 (72 FR 31714; June 8, 2007;
as corrected 72 FR 37430, July 10, 2007),
this action amended the following
offshore airspace areas: Norton Sound
Low, Woody Island Low, Control 1234L,
and Control 1487L Offshore Airspace
Areas; Alaska, to include terminal
airspace previously thought to be
excluded in the Code of Federal
Regulations. The exclusionary language
was misinterpreted including all
airspace West of Longitude 160°. The
FAA found this interpretation to be in
error as the exclusion only pertains to
the area West of Longitude 160° for the
Alaska Peninsula. The Alaska Peninsula
does not include the Aleutian Islands
nor preclude the establishment of
airspace under CFR 71.71(c). This action
proposes to correct this error and
reverse the final rule. Offshore Airspace
areas are reserved for those areas that
extend from the Territorial Zone to the
Flight Information Region boundary, in
international airspace, where it is
necessary to apply domestic airspace
rules.
The FAA also published a final rule
in the Federal Register for Docket No.
FAA–2006–26164 under Airspace
Docket No. 06–AAL–34 (72 FR 5611;
February 7, 2007). This action revoked
the Class E Airspace for Adak, Atka,
Cold Bay, Nelson Lagoon, Saint George
Island, Sand Point, Shemya, St. Paul
Island, and Unalaska, AK as it was
thought that because these locations
were within Control 1234L they should
be contained in the offshore airspace
description. This was in error as
offshore airspace cannot be established
within 12 nautical miles of a coastline
of the United States (U.S.). This action
would also correct that error. This
proposed technical amendment would
separate Offshore Airspace and terminal
class E airspace to provide pilots with
an accurate legal description in the
appropriate sections of the regulation.

Organization (ICAO) International
Standards and Recommended Practices.
The application of International
Standards and Recommended Practices
by the FAA, Office of Policy, Rules and
Regulations Group, in areas outside the
U.S. domestic airspace, is governed by
the Convention on International Civil
Aviation. Specifically, the FAA is
governed by Article 12 and Annex 11,
which pertain to the establishment of
necessary air navigational facilities and
services to promote the safe, orderly,
and expeditious flow of civil air traffic.
The purpose of Article 12 and Annex 11
is to ensure that civil aircraft operations
on international air routes are
performed under uniform conditions.
The International Standards and
Recommended Practices in Annex 11
apply to airspace under the jurisdiction
of a contracting state, derived from
ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when
air traffic services are provided and a
contracting state accepts the
responsibility of providing air traffic
services over high seas or in airspace of
undetermined sovereignty. A
contracting state accepting this
responsibility may apply the
International Standards and
Recommended Practices that are
consistent with standards and practices
utilized in its domestic jurisdiction.
In accordance with Article 3 of the
convention, state-owned aircraft are
exempt from the Standards and
Recommended Practices of Annex 11.
The United States is a contracting state
to the Convention. Article 3(d) of the
Convention provides that participating
state aircraft will be operated in
international airspace with due regard
for the safety of civil aircraft.
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 Department of
Transportation (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 proposed 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. The Prescreen Opt-Out Notice Rule
Section 615(d) of the FCRA 1 requires
that any person who uses a consumer
report in order to make an unsolicited
firm offer of credit or insurance to the
consumer (‘‘prescreened offer’’ or
‘‘prescreened solicitation’’) shall
provide with each written solicitation a
clear and conspicuous statement that:
(A) Information contained in the
consumer’s consumer report was used
in connection with the transaction; (B)
the consumer received the offer of credit
or insurance because the consumer
satisfied the criteria for credit
worthiness or insurability under which
the consumer was selected for the offer;
(C) if applicable, the credit or insurance
may not be extended if, after the
consumer responds to the offer, the
consumer does not meet the criteria
used to select the consumer for the offer
or any applicable criteria bearing on
credit worthiness or insurability or does
not furnish any required collateral; (D)
the consumer has a right to prohibit
information contained in the
consumer’s file with any consumer
reporting agency from being used in
1 15
PO 00000

connection with any credit or insurance
transaction that is not initiated by the
consumer; and (E) the consumer may
exercise the opt-out right by notifying a
notification system established under
section 604(e) of the FCRA.
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. Section 213(a) of the FACT Act
amended FCRA section 615(d) to
require that the statement mandated by
section 615(d) ‘‘be presented in such
format and in such type size and
manner as to be simple and easy to
understand, as established by the
Commission, by rule, in consultation
with the Federal banking agencies and
the National Credit Union
Administration.’’ On August 1, 2005,
the FTC issued its Prescreen Opt-Out
Notice Rule.2
B. Dodd-Frank Act
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act (‘‘DoddFrank Act’’) was signed into law in
2010.3 The Dodd-Frank Act
substantially changed the federal legal
framework for financial services
providers. Among the changes, the
Dodd-Frank Act transferred to the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(‘‘CFPB’’) the Commission’s rulemaking
authority under portions of the FCRA.4
Accordingly, in 2012, the Commission
rescinded several of its FCRA rules,
which had been replaced by rules
issued by the CFPB.5 The FTC retained
rulemaking authority for other rules to
the extent the rules apply to motor
vehicle dealers described in section
1029(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act 6 that are
predominantly engaged in the sale and
servicing of motor vehicles, the leasing
and servicing of motor vehicles, or both
(‘‘motor vehicle dealers’’).7 The retained
rules include the Prescreen Opt-Out
Notice Rule, which now applies only to
motor vehicle dealers.8 Consumer report
users originally covered by the
Prescreen Opt-Out Notice Rule that are
not motor vehicle dealers are now
covered by the CFPB’s rule.9
On May 22, 2019, the FTC rescinded
several FCRA model notices and forms

not transfer to the CFPB rulemaking authority for
section 615(e) of the FCRA (‘‘Red Flag Guidelines
and Regulations Required’’) and section 628 of the
FCRA (‘‘Disposal of Records’’). See 15 U.S.C.

Proposed Technical Amendment to Separate Terminal Airspace Areas
from Norton Sound Low, Woody Island Low, Control 1234L, and Control
1487L Offshore Airspace Areas; Alaska
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend the following Offshore Airspace
Areas in Alaska: Norton Sound Low, Woody Island Low, Control 1234L, and
Control 1487L. The FAA found an error with the Offshore Airspace Legal
Descriptions containing airspace descriptions not related to the need
to apply IFR en route Air Traffic Control services in international
airspace. This action would correct that error by removing terminal
airspace, airspace associated with geographic coordinates, and airspace
associated with NAVAIDs from the Offshore Airspace legal descriptions.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 5, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, 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 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 regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would modify the route structure as necessary to
preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National
Airspace System.
Comments Invited
Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the

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 12, 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.
Background
A final rule was published in the Federal Register for Docket No.
FAA-2006-25852 under Airspace Docket No. 06-AAL-29 (72 FR 31714; June
8, 2007; as corrected 72 FR 37430, July 10, 2007), this action amended
the following offshore airspace areas: Norton Sound Low, Woody Island
Low, Control 1234L, and Control 1487L Offshore Airspace Areas; Alaska,
to include terminal airspace previously thought to be excluded in the
Code of Federal Regulations. The exclusionary language was
misinterpreted including all airspace West of Longitude 160[deg]. The
FAA found this interpretation to be in error as the exclusion only
pertains to the area West of Longitude 160[deg] for the Alaska
Peninsula. The Alaska Peninsula does not include the Aleutian Islands
nor preclude the establishment of airspace under CFR 71.71(c). This
action proposes to correct this error and reverse the final rule.
Offshore Airspace areas are reserved for those areas that extend from
the Territorial Zone to the Flight Information Region boundary, in
international airspace, where it is necessary to apply domestic
airspace rules.
The FAA also published a final rule in the Federal Register for
Docket No. FAA-2006-26164 under Airspace Docket No. 06-AAL-34 (72 FR
5611; February 7, 2007). This action revoked the Class E Airspace for
Adak, Atka, Cold Bay, Nelson Lagoon, Saint George Island, Sand Point,
Shemya, St. Paul Island, and Unalaska, AK as it was thought that
because these locations were within Control 1234L they should be
contained in the offshore airspace description. This was in error as
offshore airspace cannot be established within 12 nautical miles of a
coastline of the United States (U.S.). This action would also correct
that error. This proposed technical amendment would separate Offshore
Airspace and terminal class E airspace to provide pilots with an
accurate legal description in the appropriate sections of the
regulation.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify the Norton Sound Low, Woody
Island Low, Control 1234L, and Control 1487L Offshore Airspace areas by
removing 33 terminal facilities, five NAVAIDS, and three sets of
geographic coordinate assigned airspace included in the Offshore
Airspace areas legal description
[[Page 59222]]
contained in FAA Order 7400.11 Section 6007. The vertical and lateral

published yearly and effective on September 15.
ICAO Considerations
As part of this proposal relates to navigable airspace outside the
U.S. this notice is submitted in accordance with the International
Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) International Standards and
Recommended Practices. The application of International Standards and
Recommended Practices by the FAA, Office of Policy, Rules and
Regulations Group, in areas outside the U.S. domestic airspace, is
governed by the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
Specifically, the FAA is governed by Article 12 and Annex 11, which
pertain to the establishment of necessary air navigational facilities
and services to promote the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of
civil air traffic. The purpose of Article 12 and Annex 11 is to ensure
that civil aircraft operations on international air routes are
performed under uniform conditions.
The International Standards and Recommended Practices in Annex 11
apply to airspace under the jurisdiction of a contracting state,
derived from ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when air traffic services
are provided and a contracting state accepts the responsibility of
providing air traffic services over high seas or in airspace of
undetermined sovereignty. A contracting state accepting this
responsibility may apply the International Standards and Recommended
Practices that are consistent with standards and practices utilized in
its domestic jurisdiction.
In accordance with Article 3 of the convention, state-owned
aircraft are exempt from the Standards and Recommended Practices of
Annex 11. The United States is a contracting state to the Convention.
Article 3(d) of the Convention provides that participating state
aircraft will be operated in international airspace with due regard for
the safety of civil aircraft.
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
Department of Transportation (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 proposed 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.
[[Page 59224]]
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.
