procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 2.5-mile radius of
Eagle Airport, Eagle, AK, with a segment extending from the 2.5-mile
radius to 8.5 miles west of the airport. Controlled airspace is needed
to accommodate the new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approaches and
departures developed for the airport and would enhance the safety and
management of aircraft operations.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15,
2013, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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 this proposed 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.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority for 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 proposed regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would modify controlled airspace at Eagle Airport,
Eagle, AK.
    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Extension of the Comment Period

    On October 19, 2010, OSHA published a notice of proposed
interpretation entitled Interpretation of OSHA's Provisions for
Feasible Administrative or Engineering Controls of Occupational Noise.
The notice proposed to clarify that the term feasible administrative or
engineering controls as used in the applicable sections of OSHA's
General Industry and Construction Occupational Noise Exposure standards
has its ordinary meaning of capable of being done. The Agency announced
its intention to revise and clarify its current enforcement policy to
reflect this interpretation, and solicited comments from interested
parties within 60 days, ending on December 20, 2010.
    OSHA's current enforcement policy for exposures less than 100 dBA
has not reflected the noise standard's requirement that feasible
engineering and administrative controls be used as the primary means of
reducing noise exposure. Instead, the Agency has allowed many employers
to rely upon a hearing conservation program, including the use of
hearing protectors.
    Excessive noise levels continue to be a cause of hearing loss in
the nation's workplaces. Since 2004, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) has reported that over 125,000 workers have suffered significant,
permanent hearing loss. In 2008 alone, BLS reported 22,000 hearing loss
cases.
    Two commenters, the National Association of Manufacturers and the
Coalition for Workplace Safety (CWS), representing employers who would
be affected by the proposed interpretation, have requested an extension
of 90 days to assess the operating changes that their members would be
required to make to comply with the interpretation. In addition, CWS
cites the proximity of the current deadline to the winter holidays as
an additional reason for the extension.
    OSHA believes that these requests are reasonable. OSHA is
interested in hearing from and carefully considering the views of
affected persons before making a final decision on the proposed
interpretation. Accordingly, to facilitate the submission of more
thorough comments and help the agency assess the issues, OSHA is
extending the comment period by 90 days from December 20, 2010 to March
21, 2011.

    Authority: 29 U.S.C. 655; 29 CFR 1910.95(b)(1) & 1926.52(b);
Secretary of Labor's Order 4-2010, 75 FR 55355, September 10, 2010.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on December 7, 2010.
David Michaels,
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health.

such a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. Any
person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable proceeding in accordance with
Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
    Exempt off-the-record communications are included in the decisional
