SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Thursday, March 11, 2010, the FAA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking in the Federal Register to revise Class E airspace at
Wainwright, AK (75 FR 11480).
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
One comment was received. Refer to Figure 1 below to see the affected
airspace. The commenter agreed with the 700 foot requirement, but asked
why the 1,200 foot controlled airspace had to extend 70 miles from the
airport, and disagreed with the proposal by questioning the need to
extend that distance. The commenter asserted that if he were not able
to contact the clearance authority, it would be illegal and unsafe to
fly in controlled airspace under IFR without a clearance. The 70-mile
requirement is based on Area Navigation (RNAV) instrument approach
requirements based on what are called Terminal Arrival Areas (TAAs). A
typical approach is designed to begin at the Initial Approach Fix (IAF)
approximately 30 miles from the airport. The air traffic control's
controlled airspace requirement begins another 30 miles outside the
IAF. In this case, the extension requires a 70-mile radius.
Additionally, the commenter asserted that flights out to 70 miles in
this area are in Class G airspace. In fact, only a small portion of
Class G would be converted to Class E (approximately 5-10% of the
area). The remainder is already 1,200 foot Class E airspace associated
with airport IFR service at Barrow, Point Lay, and Atqasuk. TAA's in
Alaska are good for pilots where non-radar operations are common. They
essentially allow the arrival to be reduced to no more than two 90
degree turns to final, without extended non-radar clearances for
excessive distances. The trade off in this case is less Class G
airspace. However, even in Alaska, the Class G airspace is being
converted to Class E where other TAAs have been published, and is
quickly becoming unusable for any great distance. Regarding safety, the
commenter is correct. Should he encounter inadvertent Instrument
Meteorological Conditions (IMC) and have to climb to remain clear of
clouds, he would have to either turn to remain VMC or declare an
emergency, as he would anywhere else in the country. His comments are
reasonable and thoughtful, and we appreciate his participation in this
process. However, after consideration of the comment, the rule is
adopted as proposed.

    The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1,200 ft. transition
areas are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9T, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 27, 2009, and
effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by revising Class E airspace at Wainwright Airport, AK, to
accommodate amended RNAV SIAPs, and a new ODP at Wainwright Airport.
This Class E airspace will provide adequate controlled airspace upward
from 700 and 1,200 feet above the surface for safety and management of
IFR operations at Wainwright Airport.
    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.
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. Because this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle 1, 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 1, section 40103, Sovereignty and use of
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because
it creates Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft
executing instrument procedures for the Wainwright Airport and
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use
the navigable airspace.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 204 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act
of 1997 (FDAMA) (Public Law 105-115) amended section 514 of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360d). Amended
section 514 of the act allows FDA to recognize consensus standards
developed by international and national organizations for use in
satisfying portions of device premarket review submissions or other
requirements.
    In a notice published in the Federal Register of February 25, 1998
(63 FR 9561), FDA announced the availability of a guidance entitled
``Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards.'' The notice described
how FDA would implement its standard recognition program and provided
the initial list of recognized standards.
    Modifications to the initial list of recognized standards, as
published in the Federal Register, are identified in table 1 of this
document.

IV. List of Recognized Standards

    FDA maintains the agency's current list of FDA recognized consensus
standards in a searchable database that may be accessed directly at
FDA's Internet site at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/
cfdocs/cfStandards/search.cfm. FDA will incorporate the modifications
and minor revisions described in this document into the database and,
upon publication in the Federal Register, this recognition of consensus
standards will be effective. FDA will announce additional modifications
and minor revisions to the list of recognized consensus standards, as
needed, in the Federal Register once a year, or more often, if
necessary.

V. Recommendation of Standards for Recognition by FDA

    Any person may recommend consensus standards as candidates for
recognition under the new provision of section 514 of the act by
submitting such recommendations, with reasons for the recommendation,
to the contact person (See FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). To be
properly considered such recommendations should contain, at a minimum,
the following information: (1) Title of the standard; (2) any reference
number and date; (3) name and address of the national or international
standards development organization; (4) a proposed list of devices for
which a declaration of conformity to this standard should routinely
apply; and (5) a brief identification of the testing or performance or
other characteristics of the device(s) that would be addressed by a
declaration of conformity.

VI. Electronic Access

    You may obtain a copy of ``Guidance on the Recognition and Use of
Consensus Standards'' by using the Internet. CDRH maintains a site on
the Internet for easy access to information including text, graphics,
and files that you may download to a personal computer with access to
the Internet. Updated on a regular basis, the CDRH home page includes
the guidance as well as the current list of recognized standards and
other standards related documents. After publication in the Federal
Register, this document announcing ``Modification to the List of
Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number: 022'' will be available
on the CDRH home page. You may access the CDRH home page at http://
www.fda.gov/cdrh.

recognition of consensus standards is available at http://www.fda.gov/
cdrh/fedregin.html.

VII. Submission of Comments and Effective Date

    Interested persons may submit to the contact person (see FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) written or electronic comments regarding
this document. Two copies of any mailed comments are to be submitted,
except that individuals may submit one paper copy. Comments are to be
identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of
