Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking,

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Supplemental Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class D 

airspace extending upward from the 

surface to and including 2,900 feet MSL 

at Bryant AAF, Anchorage AK. 

Controlled airspace is necessary to 

accommodate the increased volume and 

variety of aircraft arriving and departing 

the immediate vicinity of Bryant AAF. 

This action would enhance the safety 

and management of terminal VFR 

operations at the airport. 

Class D airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 5000 of FAA 

Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this 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. 

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 that 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 

establish controlled airspace at Bryant 

AAF, Anchorage 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.

Rules (IFR) at Kenai Municipal Airport. 

A minor adjustment also would be made 

to the geographic coordinates of the 

airport. This action, initiated by the 

biennial review of the Kenai airspace 

area, would enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport.

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class D 

airspace, Class E surface airspace and 

Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to Class D surface area, at 

Kenai Municipal Airport, Kenai, AK. 

Also, the geographic coordinates of the 

airport would be updated to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

After biennial review of the airspace, 

the FAAs Aeronautical Products Office 

found modification of the airspace 

necessary for the safety and 

management of aircraft departing and 

arriving under IFR operations at the 

airport. The Class D airspace and Class 

E surface area airspace excluded below 

1,100 feet MSL beyond 4 miles from the 

airport would be decreased, and the 

segment of the Class E airspace 

designated as an extension extending to 

10.2 miles northeast of the airport 

would be adjusted to coincide with the 

dimensions of the cutout. 

Class D airspace and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002 and 6004, respectively, of 

FAA Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 

2012, and effective September 15, 2012, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E 

airspace designations 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.

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

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

Oil and Gas; Hydraulic Fracturing on 

Federal and Indian Lands 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking; extension of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: On May 11, 2012, the Bureau 

of Land Management (BLM) published 

in the Federal Register a proposed rule 

to regulate hydraulic fracturing on 

Federal and Indian land. Due to the 

complexity of the rule and the issues 

surrounding it, the BLM extended the 

comment period for 60 days beyond the 

end of the initial comment period. On 

May 24, 2013, the BLM published a 

supplemental notice of proposed 

rulemaking and request for comment. 

Key issues in the revised proposed rule 

include: the use of an expanded set of 

cement evaluation tools to help ensure 

that usable water zones have been 

isolated and protected from 

contamination and more detailed 

guidance on how trade secrets claims 

will be handled. The revised proposed 

rule would also provide opportunities 

for the BLM to coordinate standards and 

processes with individual States and 

tribes to reduce administrative costs and 

improve efficiency. This notice extends 

the public comment period on the 

revised proposed rule for 60 days 

beyond the initial comment period. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

proposed rule published May 24, 2013 

(78 FR 31636), is extended. Send your 

comments on this proposed rule to the 

BLM on or before August 23, 2013. The 

BLM need not consider, or include in 

the administrative record for the final 

rule, comments that the BLM receives 

after the close of the comment period or 

comments delivered to an address other 

than those listed below (see ADDRESSES).

instructions at this Web site. 

Please make your comments as 

specific as possible by confining them to 

issues directly related to the content of 

the revised proposed rule, and explain 

the basis for your comments. The 

comments and recommendations that 

will be most useful and likely to 

influence agency decisions are: 

1. Those supported by quantitative 

information or studies; and 

2. Those that include citations to, and 

analyses of, the applicable laws and 

regulations. 

The BLM is not obligated to consider or 

include in the Administrative Record 

for the rule comments received after the 

close of the comment period (see DATES) 

or comments delivered to an address 

other than those listed above (see 

ADDRESSES). 

Comments, including names and 

street addresses of respondents, will be 

available for public review at the 

address listed under ADDRESSES during 

regular hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.), 

Monday through Friday, except 

holidays. 

Before including your address, 

telephone number, email address, or 

other personal identifying information 

in your comment, be advised that your 

entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask in your comment to 

withhold from public review your 

personal identifying information, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Background 

The revised proposed rule was 

published on May 24, 2013 (78 FR 

31636), with a 30-day comment period 

closing on June 24, 2013. Since 

publication, the BLM has received 

numerous requests for extension of the 

comment period on the revised 

proposed rule. Because of the 

complexity of the rule and due to the 

controversial nature of well stimulation 

procedures, the BLM is hereby 

extending the comment period on the 

rule for 60 days. The closing date of the 

extended comment period is August 23, 

2013.
