Proposed Revision of Class E 

Airspace; Manokotak, AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to revise 

Class E airspace at the Manokotak

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71, which 

would revise Class E airspace at the 

Manokotak Airport, Manokotak, AK. 

The intended effect of this proposal is 

to revise Class E airspace upward from 

700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface to 

contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 

operations at the Manokotak Airport, 

Manokotak, AK. 

The FAA Instrument Flight 

Procedures Production and 

Maintenance Branch has created two 

new SIAPs for the Manokotak Airport 

and one textual ODP. The SIAPs are (1) 

the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) Runway 

(RWY) 03, Original and (2) the RNAV 

(GPS) RWY 21, Original. Textual ODPs 

are unnamed and are published in the 

front of the U.S. Terminal Procedures 

for Alaska. Class E controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 ft. and 

1,200 ft. above the surface in the 

Manokotak Airport area would be 

revised by this action. The proposed 

airspace is sufficient in size to contain 

aircraft executing the instrument 

procedures at the Manokotak Airport, 

Manokotak, AK. 

The Class E airspace areas designated 

as 700/1200 foot transition areas are

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 168 / Tuesday, September 1, 2009 / Proposed Rules 45143 

published in paragraph 6005 in FAA 

Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, signed October 3, 

2008, and effective October 31, 2008, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

would be subsequently published in the 

Order. 

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 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. 

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 proposes to revise Class E 

airspace at Manokotak Airport, 

Manokotak, AK, and represents the 

FAA’s continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.

[Docket No. NHTSA–2009–0154] 

RIN 2127–AK52 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety 

Standards; Power-Operated Window, 

Partition, and Roof Panel Systems 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The Cameron Gulbransen 

Kids Transportation Safety Act of 2007 

(the ‘‘K.T. Safety Act of 2007’’) directs 

NHTSA to consider amending the 

Federal motor vehicle safety standard 

aimed at minimizing the likelihood of 

death or injury from the accidental 

operation of power window systems. 

The amendment would require power 

windows and panels on motor vehicles 

to automatically reverse direction when 

such power windows and panels detect 

an obstruction to prevent children and 

others from being trapped, injured, or 

killed. In the event that NHTSA chooses 

not to require power windows and 

panels on motor vehicles to 

automatically reverse direction when 

such power windows and panels detect 

an obstruction, the Act requires that the 

agency submit a report to Congress 

describing why such standards were not 

prescribed and publish a list of vehicles 

that are or are not equipped with power 

windows and panels that automatically 

reverse direction when an obstruction is 

detected. 

In this document, NHTSA 

summarizes its most recent rulemakings 

related to power window hazards and 

the types of injuries and fatalities they 

were aimed at mitigating; discusses its 

current assessment of the number and 

causes of the remaining deaths and 

injuries related to power windows; and 

analyzes the means of mitigating those 

remaining injuries and fatalities. While 

the agency analyzed and considered the 

benefits of installing automatic reversal 

systems in all types of vehicle windows, 

including front and rear main windows, 

sunroofs, and small ‘‘vent’’ windows, 

NHTSA is proposing to require 

automatic reversal systems on ‘‘expressup’’ or ‘‘one-touch closing’’ windows, 

i.e., those windows that close without 

continuous actuation of the window 

switch by the window operator. We 

believe that this is an efficient, targeted 

rule that would close this gap in our 

power window safety requirements. We 

are also seeking comments on a broader 

requirement for automatic reversal 

systems, and could include such a 

requirement in a final rule. 

Additionally, we will be providing 

consumers with information regarding 

which vehicles are equipped with 

automatic reversal systems at http:// 

www.safercar.gov by October 2009. 

DATES: You should submit your 

comments early enough to ensure that
