Safety Standard for Portable Generators, 37185-37186 [2023-11983]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 7, 2023 / Proposed Rules same area. This amendment would improve air traffic efficiency and reduce chart clutter in that area. The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend RNAV route Q–445 by removing the segments from the PAACK, NC, WP to the BRIGS, NJ, Fix. The remaining existing route segments from the SHAUP, OA (i.e., OA means Offshore Atlantic), WP to the KYSKY, NY, WP would be retained. Those segments would continue to be used so that arrivals to airports on Cape Cod, MA, Martha’s Vineyard, MA, and Nantucket, MA, can bypass the heavy air traffic in the Philadelphia and New York City areas. This would allow safer and more efficient descents into those airports. The amended Q–445 description would read: SHAUP, OA, WP; VALPO, OA, WP; KYSKY, NY, WP. 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 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.

I. Background \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission voted 4-0 to publish this document.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 20, 2023, the Commission published an SNPR in the Federal 
Register, proposing to issue a modified safety standard for portable 
generators under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA; 15 U.S.C. 2051-
2089), and seeking written comments. 88 FR 24346. The SNPR seeks to 
address the unreasonable risk of injury and death associated with acute 
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from portable generators. The proposed 
rule limits CO emissions from portable generators and requires 
generators to shut off when specified emission levels are reached. The 
SNPR is available at: www.regulations.gov/document/CPSC-2006-0057-0118, 
and CPSC staff's briefing package for the SNPR is available at:

The SNPR invited such written comments. In addition, section 9 of the 
CPSA requires the Commission to provide interested parties ``an 
opportunity for oral presentation of data, views, or arguments.'' 15 
U.S.C. 2058(d)(2). The Commission must keep a transcript of such oral 
presentations. Id. The Commission received requests to present and, in
