Under 14 CFR 11.35(b), when we are 

aware of proprietary information filed 

with a comment, we do not place it in

to which the public does not have 

access, and place a note in the docket 

that we have received it. If we receive 

a request to examine or copy this 

information, we treat it as any other 

request under the Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). We 

process such a request under the DOT 

procedures found in 49 CFR part 7. 

Background 

On June 29, 2010, the FAA issued 

Notice No. 10–10, entitled ‘‘Airplane 

and Engine Certification Requirements 

in Supercooled Large Drop, Mixed 

Phase, and Ice Crystal Icing Conditions’’ 

(75 FR 37311, Docket No. FAA–2010– 

0636). Comments to that document were 

to be received on or before August 30, 

2010. 

By letter dated July 9, 2010, 

Bombardier Aerospace (Bombardier) 

advised that the comment period for 

NPRMs has typically been 90 days for 

proposed rule changes of far lesser 

significance and complexity. Given the 

potential impact of the rule, and the 

magnitude of the effort required to 

review it, Bombardier stated that the 

comment period should be 120 days 

instead of 60 days. By letter dated July 

26, 2010, Turbomeca Groupe SAFRAN 

(Turbomeca) also requested an 

extension to the comment period from 

60 days to 120 days, citing the same 

reasons as Bombardier. 

While the FAA concurs with 

Bombardier and Turbomeca’s 

assessments of the NPRM’s significance 

and complexity, we do not support 

extending the comment period for an 

additional 60 days. The NPRM went 

through the Aviation Rulemaking 

Advisory Committee (ARAC) process, 

which gave the aviation industry the 

opportunity to become familiar with the 

content of the NPRM. The ARAC 

working group that provided 

recommendations for the NPRM was 

comprised of members from the FAA, 

the European Aviation Safety Agency, 

and the aviation industry, including 

Bombardier. Because of the significant 

industry involvement in the rulemaking 

process for this NPRM, a 120-day 

comment period is not justified and 

would adversely impact the final 

rulemaking process. However, the FAA 

does support a 90-day comment period 

by adding an additional 30 days to the 

current comment period. A 90-day 

comment period is consistent with other 

recent rulemaking activities associated 

with aircraft icing. 

Absent unusual circumstances, the 

FAA does not anticipate any further 

extension of the comment period for 

this rulemaking. 

Extension of Comment Period 

In accordance with § 11.47(c) of Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations, the 

FAA has reviewed Bombardier and 

Turbomeca’s petitions for extension of 

the comment period to Notice No. 10– 

10. Bombardier and Turbomeca have 

shown a substantive interest in the 

proposed rule and good cause for the 

extension. The FAA has determined that 

an extension of the comment period is 

consistent with the public interest, and 

that good cause exists for taking this 

action. 

Accordingly, the comment period for 

Notice No. 10–10 is extended until 

September 29, 2010. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on August 11, 

2010.

Proposed Amendment of Class D and

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class D and Class E airspace at 

Klamath Falls, OR. Decommissioning of 

the Merrill Non-Directional Radio

has made this action necessary for the 

safety and management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. This action also would adjust 

the geographic coordinates of the airport 

and a navigation aid, and would change 

the name of the airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 30, 2010.

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers (FAA Docket No. FAA–

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 amending the Class 

E airspace area extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Klamath 

Falls Airport, Klamath Falls, OR. 

Decommissioning of the Merrill NDB 

and cancellation of the NDB approach 

has made this action necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. The geographic 

coordinates of the Klamath Falls 

Airport, and the Klamath Falls VHF 

Omni-Directional Radio Range Tactical 

Air Navigation Aid (VORTAC) for Class 

E airspace designated as an extension to 

Class D airspace, and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface, also would be adjusted in 

accordance with the FAA’s National 

Aeronautical Navigation Services 

(NANS). The airport name would be 

corrected from Klamath Falls 

International Airport to Klamath Falls 

Airport. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005, respectively, 

of FAA Order 7400.9T, signed August 

27, 2009, and effective September 15, 

2009, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D 

and 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 

amend controlled airspace at Klamath 

Falls Airport, Klamath Falls, OR.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, pursuant to the

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 at Kalaupapa 

Airport, Kalaupapa, HI. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

aircraft using the new RNAV (GPS) 

SIAP at Kalaupapa Airport and would 

enhance the safety and management of 

aircraft operations. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, 

and effective September 15, 2009, 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’’
