Persons interested in being placed on

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

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 E 

surface airspace and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Frank Wiley Field, Miles 

City, MT. Controlled airspace is 

necessary to accommodate aircraft using 

new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at the Airport, and 

would enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations. This 

action would also adjust the geographic 

coordinates for Frank Wiley Field to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9U, 

dated August 18, 2010, and effective 

September 15, 2010, 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 creates 

additional controlled airspace at Frank 

Wiley Field, Miles City, MT.

14 CFR Parts 234 and 241 

[Docket No. RITA 2011–0001] 

RIN 2139–AA13 

Reporting Ancillary Airline Passenger 

Revenues 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Transportation (DOT or the Department) 

is proposing to collect revenue 

information in a more detailed manner 

regarding airline imposed fees from 

those air carriers meeting the definition 

of a large certificated air carrier. Many 

air carriers have adopted a la carte 

pricing with separate fees for such 

things as checked baggage, carry-on 

baggage, meals, on-board entertainment, 

internet connections, pillows, blankets, 

advance or upgraded seating, telephone 

reservations, early boarding, canceled or 

changed reservations, transportation of 

unaccompanied minors, pet 

transportation, third-party services such 

as hotel rooms, car rentals, and pick-up 

and delivery services, et cetera. The 

Department wants to make airline 

pricing more transparent to consumers 

and airline analysts. This action is in 

response to a Departmental initiative 

and responds to recommendations of 

the Government Accountability Office. 

Also, the Department is proposing to 

change the way it computes mishandled 

baggage rates from mishandled baggage 

reports per unit of domestic 

enplanements to mishandled bags per 

unit of checked bags. Fees for checked 

baggage have changed consumer 

behavior regarding the number of bags 

they check, skewing mishandled 

baggage rates. Finally, the Department is 

proposing to fill a data gap by collecting 

separate statistics for mishandled 

wheelchairs and scooters used by 

passengers with disabilities. 

DATES: All comments must be received 

by September 13, 2011. Late filed 

comments will be considered to the 

extent practicable.
