SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC Form No. 556, Certification of Qualifying Facility (QF)
Status for a Small Power Production or Cogeneration Facility.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0075.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the Form No. 556
information collection requirements with no changes to the current
reporting requirements.
    Abstract: The Commission requires the Form No. 556 to implement the
statutory provisions in Sections 201 and 210 of the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA).\1\ FERC is authorized to
encourage cogeneration and small power production and to prescribe such
rules as necessary in order to carry out the statutory directives.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Public Law 95-617, November 9, 1978, 92 Stat. 3117. Codified
at 16 U.S.C. 46,2601-45.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A primary statutory objective is the conservation of energy through
efficient use of energy resources and facilities by electric utilities.
One means of achieving this goal is to encourage production of electric
power by cogeneration facilities which make use of reject heat
associated with commercial or industrial processes, and by small power
production facilities which use other wastes and renewable resources.
PURPA, encourages the development of small power production facilities
and cogeneration facilities which meet certain technical and corporate
criteria through establishment of various regulatory benefits.
Facilities that meet these criteria are called Qualifying Facilities or
QFs.
    FERC's regulations \2\ specify:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 18 CFR part 292.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     the certification procedures which must be followed by
owners or operators of small power production and cogeneration
facilities;
     the criteria which must be met;
     the information which must be submitted to FERC in order
to obtain qualifying status;
     the PURPA benefits which are available to QFs to encourage
small power production and cogeneration; and
     the requirements pertaining to PURPA implementation plans
regarding the transaction obligations that electric utilities have with
respect to QFs.
    Among PURPA provisions in Part 292 are requirements for electric
utilities to:
     purchase energy and capacity from QFs favorably priced on
the basis of the avoided cost of the power that is displaced by the QF
power (i.e. the incremental cost to the purchasing utility if it had
generated the displaced power or purchased it from another source);
     sell backup, maintenance and other power services to QFs
at rates based on the cost of rendering the services;
     provide certain interconnection and transmission services
priced on a nondiscriminatory basis;
     operate in ``parallel'' with other interconnected QFs so
that they may be electrically synchronized with electric utility grids;
and
     make available to the public avoided cost information and
system capacity needs.
    18 CFR part 292 exempts QFs from certain corporate, accounting,
reporting and rate regulation requirements, certain state laws and in
certain instances, regulation under the Federal Power Act \3\ and the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 16 U.S.C. 791, et seq.
    \4\ 42 U.S.C. 16, 451-63.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Type of Respondents: Respondents to the Form No. 556 are
cogeneration facilities and small power producers with a generating
capacity greater than 1Megawatt (MW) who are self-certifying their
status as a cogenerator facility or small power producer facility or
who are submitting an application for FERC certification of their
status as a cogenerator facility.
    Estimate of Annual Burden \5\: The Commission estimates the total
Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain,
retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal
agency. For further explanation of what is included in the
information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments prior to it becoming effective. However, we
invite you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written
comments, data, or views. We also invite comments relating to the
economic, environmental, energy, or federalism impacts that resulted
from adopting this AD. The most helpful comments reference a specific
portion of the AD, explain the reason for any recommended change, and
include supporting data. To ensure the docket does not contain
duplicate comments, commenters should send only one copy of written
comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters should
submit them only one time. We will file in the docket all comments that
we receive, as well as a report summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerning this rulemaking during the
comment period. We will consider all the comments we receive and may
conduct additional rulemaking based on those comments.

Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD No. 2017-0191R2, dated December 15,
2017, to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters Model EC
225 LP helicopters with swashplate part number (P/N) 332A31-3074-00 or
P/N 332A31-3074-01 installed. EASA advises of a finding by Airbus
Helicopters that the yoke is susceptible to cracking due to strain
aging of the metal. EASA advises that this condition, if not detected
and corrected, could lead to structural failure of a yoke, possibly
resulting in loss of control of the helicopter.
    Accordingly, the EASA AD requires, for swashplates that are seven
or more years old, a recurring inspection of the five yokes for a crack
and a one-time inspection of the yokes for corrosion and a crack. If
there is a crack or corrosion on a yoke, the EASA AD requires replacing
the swashplate or repairing and reworking the yokes.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
France and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with France, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of the same type
design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus Helicopters has issued one document that co-publishes two
Emergency Alert Service Bulletin (EASB) identification numbers: No.
05A051 for Model EC225LP helicopters and No. 05A046 for non-FAA type-
certificated Model EC725AP helicopters, both Revision 1 and both dated
November 16, 2017. Airbus Helicopters EASB No. 05A051 is incorporated
by reference in this AD. Airbus Helicopters EASB No. 05A046 is not
incorporated by reference in this AD.
    This service information specifies inspections for certain serial-
numbered swashplate P/N 332A31-3074-00 and P/N 332A31-3074-01. This
service information specifies a repetitive inspection of the yokes for
a crack and a one-time inspection of the stripped yokes for corrosion
and a crack. If in doubt about whether there is a crack, this service
information specifies performing a non-destructive inspection. This
service information also specifies touching up the swashplate if there
is corrosion, removing any damage within allowable limits, and
refinishing the yokes. If there is a crack in a yoke, this service
information specifies replacing the swashplate.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires a repetitive visual inspection of the five yokes
for a crack every 15 hours time-in-service (TIS), and replacing the
swashplate if there is a crack in any of the yokes.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD specifies performing a non-destructive inspection if in
doubt about if there is a crack and removing damage within allowable
limits, whereas this AD does not. The EASA AD also specifies stripping
the yokes and performing a one-time inspection within 100 hours TIS for
corrosion and a crack, and this AD does not. We plan to publish a
notice of proposed rulemaking to give the public an opportunity to
comment on this long-term requirement.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 5 helicopters of U.S. Registry. We
estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order to
comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per work-hour.
    Inspecting the yokes takes about 0.25 work-hour for an estimated
cost of $21 per helicopter and $105 for the U.S. fleet per inspection
cycle. Replacing a swashplate takes about 6 work-hours and parts cost
about $82,000 for an estimated cost of $82,510 per helicopter.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because the required corrective action must be completed within 15
hours TIS. Therefore, we find good cause that notice and opportunity
for prior public comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reason
stated above, we find that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in less than 30 days.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify that this AD:
    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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63766; File No. SR-BATS-2011-002]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Proposed Rule Change To Amend BATS Rules in Connection With the
Implementation of Amendments to Regulation SHO

January 25, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b 4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on January 14, 2011, BATS Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``BATS'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is filing with the Commission a proposal to amend BATS
Rules 11.9, 11.13 and 11.19 to make certain changes consistent with the
upcoming implementation of amendments to Regulation SHO.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 17 CFR 242.200(g); 17 CFR 242.201.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such
statements.

(A) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On February 26, 2010, the Commission adopted amendments to
Regulation SHO under the Act in the form of Rule 201,\4\ pursuant to
which, among other things, short sale orders in covered securities \5\
generally cannot be executed or displayed by a trading center \6\ such
as BATS at a price that is at or below the current national best bid
(``NBB'') when a short sale circuit breaker is in effect for the
covered security (the ``short sale price test restriction'').\7\ In
anticipation of the upcoming February 28, 2011 compliance date for Rule
201, the Exchange is proposing to amend certain BATS rules to describe
the manner in which the System \8\ will handle short

sell orders when a short sale price test restriction is triggered under
Rule 201 of Regulation SHO. These changes include establishing a
definition for ``short sale price sliding,'' which is a new form of
price sliding the Exchange proposes to offer when the amendments to
Regulation SHO become operative, modifying certain BATS rules regarding
order execution and routing when a short sale price test restriction is
in effect, and modifying BATS rules related to order marking
requirements. Additionally, the Exchange proposes to modify the
definition of the current ``displayed price sliding process'' offered
by BATS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61595 (February 26,
2010), 75 FR 11232 (March 10, 2010). In connection with the adoption
of Rule 201, Rule 200(g) of Regulation SHO was also amended to
include a ``short exempt'' marking requirement. The amendments to
Rule 201 and Rule 200(g) have a compliance date of February 28,
2011. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63247 (Nov. 4, 2010),
75 FR 68702 (Nov. 9, 2010). See also Division of Trading & Markets,
Responses to Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Rule 201 of
Regulation SHO.
    \5\ Rule 201(a)(1) defines the term ``covered security'' to mean
any ``NMS stock'' as defined under Rule 600(b)(47) of Regulation
NMS. Rule 600(b)(47) of Regulation NMS defines an ``NMS stock'' as
``any NMS security other than an option.'' Rule 600(b)(46) of
Regulation NMS defines an ``NMS security'' as ``any security or
class of securities for which transaction reports are collected,
processed, and made available pursuant to an effective transaction
reporting plan, or an effective national market system plan for
reporting transactions in listed options.'' 17 CFR 242.201(a)(1); 17
CFR 242.600(b)(46); and 17 CFR 242.600(b)(47).
    \6\ Rule 201(a)(9) states that the term ``trading center'' shall
have the same meaning as in Rule 600(b)(78) of Regulation NMS. Rule
600(b)(78) defines a ``trading center'' as ``a national securities
exchange or national securities association that operates an SRO
trading facility, an alternative trading system, an exchange market
maker, an OTC market maker, or any other broker or dealer that
executes orders internally by trading as principal or crossing
orders as agent.'' 17 CFR 242.600(b)(78).
    \7\ 17 CFR 242.201(b)(1). See also Division of Trading &
Markets, Responses to Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Rule 201
of Regulation SHO, Q&A Nos. 2.1 and 2.2 (concerning the duration of
a short sale price test restriction).
    \8\ The ``System'' is defined in BATS Rule 1.5(aa) as ``the
electronic communications and trading facility designated by the
Board through which securities orders of Users are consolidated for
ranking, execution and, when applicable, routing away.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to comply with the short sale price test restriction of
Regulation SHO, as amended, the Exchange proposes to offer short sale
price sliding, which will be defined in BATS Rule 11.9(g). As a
default, the Exchange will subject a User's \9\ orders to the short
sale price sliding unless they affirmatively choose to opt-out of the
process. As proposed, when a User opts out of the price sliding
process, any short sale order that could not be executed or displayed
due to a short sale price test restriction would be rejected or
cancelled by the Exchange upon entry or while resting on the order
book, respectively. When a User's order is subject to the price sliding
process, as proposed, orders subject to short sale price sliding that,
at the time of entry, could not be executed or displayed due to a short
sale price test restriction will be repriced by the System at one
minimum price variation above the current NBB to comply with Rule
201(b)(1)(i).\10\ An order subject to short sale price sliding will not
be readjusted downward even if it could be displayed at a lower price
without violation of Rule 201 of Regulation SHO. In the event the NBB
changes such that the price of a non-displayed order subject to short
sale price sliding would lock or cross the NBB, the order will receive
a new timestamp, and will be repriced by the System at one minimum
price variation above the current NBB, again in compliance with Rule
201(b)(1)(i).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ A ``User'' is defined in BATS Rule 1.5(cc) as any member or
sponsored participant of the Exchange who is authorized to obtain
access to the System.
    \10\ Any execution or display will also need to be in compliance
with applicable rules regarding minimum pricing increments. 17 CFR
242.612.
    \11\ See Division of Trading & Markets, Responses to Frequently
Asked Questions Concerning Rule 201 of Regulation SHO, Q&A No. 4.1
(concerning un-displayed orders).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As proposed, neither orders marked ``short exempt'' nor orders
displayed by the System at a price above the then current NBB at the
time of initial display when a short sale price test restriction is in
effect for a covered security will be subject to short sale price
sliding. Certain displayed short sale orders will not be repriced by
the System after entry because under Rule 201(b)(1)(iii)(A) a trading
center's policies and procedures must be reasonably designed to permit
the execution of short sale orders of covered securities that were
displayed at a price above the current NBB at the time of initial
display. ``Short exempt'' orders will not be repriced by the System,
but instead, the Exchange will execute, display and/or route such
orders without regard to the NBB or any short sale price test
restriction in effect under Regulation SHO, as described below.
    The Exchange currently offers a process called ``displayed price
sliding process,'' as defined in current Rule 11.9(c)(4), which re-
prices and/or displays orders at permissible prices when such orders
would lock or cross Protected Quotations \12\ in a manner inconsistent
with Rule 610(d) of Regulation NMS.\13\ The Exchange proposes to rename
the ``displayed price sliding process'' as ``NMS price sliding,'' to be
included in new paragraph (g) of Rule 11.9, and to define the ``price
sliding process'' as inclusive of both NMS price sliding and short sale
price sliding.\14\ Also, consistent with the changes described above,
the Exchange proposes to replace the term ``displayed price sliding
process'' throughout its equity trading rules with the term ``price
sliding process.'' \15\ As is true for displayed price sliding today
and short sale price sliding as proposed, if a User chooses to opt-out
of the price sliding process, the order will not be subject to NMS
price sliding, and thus, the Exchange will cancel back their orders
when display or execution of such orders contradict the provisions of
Regulation NMS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ As defined in BATS Rule 1.5(t), the term ``Protected
Quotation'' means a quotation that is a Protected Bid or Protected
Offer. In turn, a ``Protected Bid'' or ``Protected Offer'' shall
mean a bid or offer in a stock that is (i) displayed by an automated
trading center; (ii) disseminated pursuant to an effective national
market system plan; and (iii) an automated quotation that is the
best bid or best offer of a national securities exchange or
association.
    \13\ 17 CFR 242.610(d).
    \14\ The Exchange acknowledges that potential differences can
exist between Protected Bids, as defined above (see supra note 12),
and the NBB, upon which the requirements of Regulation SHO, as
amended, are based.
    \15\ The rules of BATS Exchange Options Market (``BATS
Options'') also contain references to the displayed price sliding
process. The Exchange is not proposing to modify its displayed price
sliding process for BATS Options at this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes a substantive change to NMS price
sliding (today known as the displayed price sliding process). Under
current System behavior, the Exchange cancels all non-displayed orders
when the national best bid or offer (``NBBO'') changes such that the
non-displayed order would cross a Protected Quotation, regardless of
whether the order is subject to the displayed price sliding process.
Under the proposed amendment, instead of cancelling such orders, unless
a User has opted out of the price sliding process, the Exchange
proposes to allow a resting non-displayed order to receive a new
timestamp and be repriced at the locking price in the event that the
NBBO changes such that the order would cross a Protected Quotation.
    The Exchange also proposes to amend its Rule 11.13 to make clear
that it will execute, display and route an order consistent with Rule
201 of Regulation SHO, and that if it cannot do so, orders will be
cancelled back to the applicable Exchange User. In addition, the
Exchange proposes to make clear that it will not route orders away from
the Exchange that are marked ``short'' if a short sale price test
restriction is in effect. Instead, such orders, if immediate-or-cancel
(``IOC'') or market orders, will be cancelled, and if limit orders,
will be posted to the BATS Book,\16\ subject to the price sliding
process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ As defined in BATS Rule 1.5(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, current Rule 11.19 requires Exchange Users to identify
short sale orders as ``short'' when entered into the Exchange's System.
The Exchange proposes to add the term ``short exempt'' to Rule 11.19
because pursuant to amended Rule 200(g) of Regulation SHO, a broker-
dealer can mark a short sale order as either ``short'' or ``short
exempt.'' \17\ The Exchange also proposes to make clear in Rule 11.19
that if an order it received is marked ``short exempt,'' the Exchange
will execute, display and/or route the order without regard to the NBB
or any short sale price test restriction in effect under Regulation
SHO.\18\ The Exchange also proposes to make clear, as it does in Rule
11.9(d)(1) with respect to intermarket sweep orders, that it relies on
a Member's \19\ marking of an order, in this case the ``short exempt''
marking, when handling such order. Accordingly,

proposed Rule 11.19 states that it is the entering Member's
responsibility, not the Exchange's responsibility, to comply with the
requirements of Regulation SHO relating to marking of orders as ``short
exempt.'' \20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 17 CFR 242.200(g). Rule 200(g)(2) provides that a sale
order shall be marked ``short exempt'' only if the provisions of
paragraphs (c) or (d) of Rule 201 of Regulation SHO are met. See
also Division of Trading and Markets: Responses to Frequently Asked
Questions Concerning Rule 201 of Regulation SHO, Q&A Nos. 5.4 and
5.5.
    \18\ 17 CFR 242.201(b)(1)(iii)(B).
    \19\ A ``Member'' is defined in BATS Rule 1.5(n) as any
registered broker or dealer that has been admitted to membership in
the Exchange.
    \20\ 17 CFR 242.200(g)(2). See also 17 CFR 242.201(c); 17 CFR
242.201(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that
are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular,
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\21\ In particular,
the proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\22\
because it would promote just and equitable principles of trade, and,
in general, protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange
believes that the proposed changes will provide clarity on the short
sale order handling procedures employed by the Exchange and certain
obligations of Members when sending short sale orders to the Exchange
consistent with Regulation SHO, as amended. The Exchange also believes
that the proposed short sale price sliding functionality and amendments
to the existing displayed price sliding process will assist Users in
executing or displaying their orders consistent with Regulation SHO and
Regulation NMS, especially under fast moving conditions where the NBBO
is quickly updating. In addition, as is currently the case, the amended
price sliding process is optional to Users. Specifically, Users can
choose to opt-out of the price sliding process, and if they choose to
do so, the Exchange will cancel back their orders when such orders
contradict the provisions of Regulation SHO or Regulation NMS.

    \22\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change imposes
any burden on competition.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface and establishing Class E
airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at Ugnu-
Kuparuk Airport, Kuparuk, AK, to provide for the safety and management
of aircraft departing and arriving under IFR operations at the airport.
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface would
be modified to within a 6.5mileradius of the airport, with a segment
extending from the 6.5-mile radius of the airport to 9.5-miles east of
the airport. Controlled airspace west of the airport would be removed
as it is no longer required for aircraft arriving and departing under
IFR operations. A segment of Class E airspace extending upward from
1,200 feet above the surface would be established within a 20-mile
radius of the airport to allow aircraft to transition to the overlying
airways. This would enhance the safety and management of aircraft
operations at the airport. This action would also make an adjustment to
the geographic coordinates of the airport.
    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 regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would modify controlled airspace at Ugnu-Kuparuk
Airport, Kuparuk, 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.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal
Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR Part 71 as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of January 7, 2013 (78 FR 951), FDA
published a notice of public workshop with a 90-day comment period to
request comments on all aspects of the public workshop, including
topics outlined in section II of that document (78 FR 951 at 952).
    The agency has received a request for an extension of the comment
period until May 30, 2013. The request conveyed concern that the
current comment period does not allow sufficient time to develop a
meaningful or thoughtful response that allows for consideration of
presentations by FDA and other stakeholders at the public workshop on
April 29 and 30, 2013.
    FDA has considered the request and is extending the comment period
for the notice of public workshop until May 17, 2013. The agency
believes that the extension allows adequate time for interested persons
to submit comments without significantly delaying consideration of
these important issues.

II. Request for Comments

    Regardless of attendance at the public workshop, interested persons
may submit either electronic comments regarding this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the Division of Dockets
Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to send one set of
comments. Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in
the heading of this document. In addition, when responding to specific
questions as outlined in section II of the notice of public workshop
(78 FR 951 at 952), please identify the question you are addressing.
Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to
the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

    Dated: March 20, 2013.
Leslie Kux,
Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
