SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Jkt 259001 The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register for Docket No. FAA– 2022–0245 (85 FR 64697, October 26, 2022), establishing RNAV route T–380 in the vicinity of Emmonak, AK. The effective date for that final rule is December 29, 2022. Subsequent to the final rule, it was determined that the required flight inspection of T–380 was not completed due to weather conditions. The pending onset of winter weather conditions in Alaska will further impact the completion of flight inspections in the State. To facilitate the safe and continuous use of existing air traffic procedures and allow sufficient time for completion of the required flight inspection of route T–380, the effective date of this rule is delayed to April 20, 2023. United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11G dated August 19, 2022 and effective September 15, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

Overview of the Final Rule The purpose of the final rule is to address the risk of strangulation to children 8 years old and younger associated with hazardous cords on window coverings.1 On January 7, 2022 CPSC published a proposed rule pursuant to section 15(j) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2064(j), to amend the substantial product hazard list in 16 CFR part 1120 (part 1120) to deem the presence of hazardous window covering cords on stock and custom window coverings, which have been adequately addressed by the voluntary standard for window coverings, ANSI/WCMA A100.1—2018, American National Standard for Safety of Corded Window Covering Products (ANSI/WCMA–2018), as an SPH, as defined in section 15(a)(2) of the CPSA. 87 FR 891. The Commission received five comments in support of the rule and is now finalizing the rule as proposed. The final rule is based on information and analysis contained in (1) CPSC staff’s September 29, 2021, Staff Briefing Package: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Corded Window Coverings (Staff’s NPR Briefing Package),2 and (2) CPSC staff’s September 28, 2022, Staff Briefing Package: Final Rule for Corded Window Coverings (Staff’s Final Rule Briefing Package).3 As proposed, in the final rule the Commission deems three readily observable characteristics of stock window coverings an SPH: 1 On November 2, 2022, the Commission voted 4– 0 to publish this final rule, and each Commissioner issued a statement in connection with their vote. 2 Staff’s NPR Briefing Package is available at: https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/NPRs-AddWindow-Covering-Cords-to-Substantial-ProductHazard-List-Establish-Safety-Standard-forOperating-Cords-on-Custom-Window-Coveringsupdated-10-29-2021.pdf?VersionId=H IM05bK3WDLRZrlNGogQLknhFvhtx3PD. 3 Staff’s Final Rule Briefing Package is available at: https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/Final-Rules-to1-Add-Window-Covering-Cords-to-the-SubstantialProduct-Hazard-List-and-2-Establish-a-SafetyStandard-for-Operating-Cords-on-Custom-WindowCoverings.pdf?VersionId=nDxz9G5hfDy5k.

Additionally, the Commission deems two readily observable characteristics of custom window coverings an SPH: (1) presence of hazardous inner cords; and (2) absence of a required manufacturer label. The Commission is addressing the presence of hazardous operating cords on custom window coverings under a separate, concurrent rulemaking pursuant to sections 7 and 9 of the CPSA, because the ANSI/WCMA–2018 standard does not adequately address this hazard. See CPSC Docket No. CPSC–2013–0028. As detailed in this final rule the Commission determines that: • the following are readily observable characteristics of window coverings: (a) the presence of hazardous operating cords (accessible operating cords longer than 8 inches in any use position) on stock window coverings; (b) the presence of hazardous inner cords (accessible inner cords that create a loop large enough to insert a child’s head) on stock and custom window coverings; and (c) the absence of a required manufacturer label on stock and custom window coverings; • the identified readily observable characteristics are adequately addressed by a voluntary standard, sections 4.3.1, 4.5, 5.3, 6.3, 6.7, and Appendices C and D of ANSI/WCMA–2018; • window coverings that conform to sections 4.3.1, 4.5, 5.3, 6.3, 6.7, and Appendices C and D of ANSI/WCMA– 2018 regarding the identified characteristics have been effective in reducing the risk of injury from strangulation associated with operating cords on stock window coverings, and inner cords on stock and custom window coverings. Additionally, the required manufacturer label effectively distinguishes between stock and custom window coverings, and expedites timely and effective recalls, by requiring identification of the manufacturer name and manufacture date on the product; and • stock and custom window coverings manufactured or imported for sale in the United States substantially comply with the specified characteristics in sections 4.3.1, 4.5, 5.3, 6.3, 6.7, and Appendices C and D of ANSI/WCMA–2018.

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 
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 amends the Class E surface airspace, and the Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Liberal Mid-America 
Regional Airport, Liberal, KS, to support instrument flight rule 
operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 
Federal Register (87 FR 51620; August 23, 2022) for Docket No. FAA-
2022-1004 to amend the Class E airspace at Liberal, KS. Interested 
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by 
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments 
were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6002 and 
6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, 
and effective September 15, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in 
14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document 
will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations 
and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 
15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class 
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and 
reporting points.

Differences From the NPRM

    Subsequent to publication, it was discovered that the name of the 
airport was not updated in the Class E airspace area designated as a 
surface area airspace legal description. That error has been corrected 
in this action.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
    Amends the Class E surface airspace at Liberal Mid-America Regional 
Airport, Liberal, KS, by removing the Liberal VORTAC and associated 
extensions from the airspace legal description; updates the name 
(previously Liberal Municipal Airport) and geographic coordinates of 
the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; and 
updates the outdated terms ``Notice to Airmen'' with ``Notice to Air 
Missions'' and ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart 
Supplement'';
    And amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface within a 6.7-mile (increased form a 6.4-mile) radius 
of Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport; removes the Liberal VORTAC and 
associated extensions from the airspace legal description; updates the 
extension south of the airport to 3.9 (increased from 3) miles each 
side of the 180[deg] bearing from the Liberal Mid-America Regional: RWY 
35-LOC (previously ILS localizer course) extending from the 6.7-mile 
(increased from 6.4-mile) radius of the airport to 11.9 (decreased from 
12) miles south of the airport; and updates the name (previously 
Liberal Municipal Airport) and geographic coordinates of the airport 
and the name of the Liberal Mid-America Regional: RWY 35-LOC 
(previously Liberal Municipal Airport ILS) to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database.
    This action is due to an airspace review conducted as part of the 
decommissioning of the Liberal VOR, which provided navigation 
information for the instrument procedures this airport, as part of the 
VOR MON Program.
    FAA Order JO 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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected 
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
