Z21.56 (incorporated by reference; see 

§ 430.3). 

3.2 Standby mode and off mode. 

Following the conclusion of the 30-minute 

active mode test described in section 3.1, 

reduce the thermostat setting to a low enough 

temperature to put the pool heater into 

standby mode. Reapply the energy sources 

and operate the pool heater in standby mode 

for 60 minutes. 

4. Measurements 

4.1 Active mode. Measure the quantities 

delineated in section 2.10 of ANSI Z21.56 

(incorporated by reference; see § 430.3). The 

measurement of energy consumption for oilfired pool heaters in Btu is to be carried out 

in appropriate units (e.g., gallons). 

4.2 Standby mode. Record the average 

electric power consumption during the 

standby mode test, PW,SB, in W, in accordance 

with section 5 of IEC 62301 (incorporated by 

reference; see § 430.3) and the fossil fuel 

energy consumption during the standby test, 

Qp, in Btu. Ambient temperature and voltage 

specifications of ANSI Z21.56 (incorporated 

by reference; see § 430.3) shall apply to this 

standby mode testing. The recorded standby 

power (PW,SB) shall be rounded to the second 

decimal place, and for loads greater than or 

equal to 10W, at least three significant figures 

shall be reported. 

4.3 Off mode. 

4.3.1 Pool heaters with a seasonal off 

switch. For pool heaters with a seasonal off 

switch, the average electric power 

consumption during the off mode, PW,OFF = 

0, and the fossil fuel energy consumed during 

the off mode, Qoff = 0. 

4.3.2 Pool heaters without a seasonal off 

switch. Record the average electric power 

consumption during the standby/off mode 

test, PW,OFF (= PW,SB), in W, in accordance 

with section 5 of IEC 62301 (incorporated by 

reference; see § 430.3), and the fossil fuel 

energy consumption during the off mode test, 

Qoff (= Qp), in Btu. Ambient temperature and 

voltage specifications of ANSI Z21.56 

(incorporated by reference; see § 430.3) shall 

apply to this off mode testing. The recorded 

off mode power (PW,OFF) shall be rounded to 

the second decimal place, and for loads 

greater than or equal to 10W, at least three 

significant figures shall be reported. 

5. Calculations 

5.1 Thermal efficiency. Calculate the 

thermal efficiency, Et (expressed as a 

percent), as specified in section 2.10 of ANSI 

Z21.56 (incorporated by reference; see 

§ 430.3). The expression of fuel consumption 

for oil-fired pool heaters shall be in Btu. 

5.2 Average annual fossil fuel energy for 

pool heaters. The average annual fuel energy 

for pool heaters, EF, is defined as: 

EF = BOH QIN + (POH¥BOH)QPR + 

(8760¥POH) Qoff,R

Where: 

BOH = average number of burner operating 

hours = 104 h

according to section 2.10.1 or section 

2.10.2 of ANSI Z21.56 (incorporated by 

reference; see § 430.3), as appropriate. 

QPR = average energy consumption rate of 

continuously operating pilot light, if 

employed, = (QP/1 h) 

QP = energy consumption of continuously 

operating pilot light, if employed, as 

measured in section 4.2, in Btu 

8760 = number of hours in one year 

Qoff,R = average off mode fossil fuel energy 

consumption rate = Qoff/(1 h) 

Qoff = off mode energy consumption as 

defined in section 4.3 of this appendix 

5.3 Average annual auxiliary electrical 

energy consumption for pool heaters. The 

average annual auxiliary electrical energy 

consumption for pool heaters, EAE, is 

expressed in Btu and defined as: 

(1) EAE = EAE,active + EAE,standby,off

(2) EAE,active = BOH * PE 

(3) EAE,standby,off = (POH¥BOH) PW,SB(Btu/h) + 

(8760¥POH) PW,OFF(Btu/h) 

Where: 

EAE,active = auxiliary electrical consumption 

in the active mode 

EAE,standby,off = auxiliary electrical 

consumption in the standby mode and 

off mode 

PE = 2Ec, if heater is tested according to 

section 2.10.1 of ANSI Z21.56 

(incorporated by reference; see § 430.3), 

in Btu/h = 3.412 PErated, if heater is tested 

according to section 2.10.2 of ANSI 

Z21.56, in Btu/h 

Ec = electrical consumption of the heater 

(converted to equivalent unit of Btu), 

including the electrical energy to the 

recirculating pump if used, during the 

30-minute thermal efficiency test, as 

defined in section 2.10.1 of ANSI Z21.56, 

in Btu per 30 min. 

2 = conversion factor to convert unit from per 

30 min. to per h. 

PErated = nameplate rating of auxiliary 

electrical equipment of heater, in Watts 

BOH = as defined in 5.2 of this appendix 

POH = as defined in 5.2 of this appendix 

PW,SB (Btu/h) = electrical energy 

consumption rate during standby mode 

expressed in Btu/h = 3.412 PW,SB, Btu/h 

PW,SB = as defined in 4.2 of this appendix 

PW,OFF (Btu/h) = electrical energy 

consumption rate during off mode 

expressed in Btu/h = 3.412 PW,OFF, Btu/ 

h 

PW,OFF = as defined in 4.3 of this appendix 

5.4 Integrated thermal efficiency. 

5.4.1 Calculate the seasonal useful output 

of the pool heater as: 

EOUT = BOH[(Et/100)(QIN + PE)] 

Where: 

BOH = as defined in 5.2 of this appendix 

Et = thermal efficiency as defined in 5.1 of 

this appendix 

QIN = as defined in 5.2 of this appendix 

PE = as defined in 5.3 of this appendix

No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

part 71 by revising Class E5 airspace at 

the Anaktuvuk Pass Airport in 

Anaktuvuk Pass, AK, to accommodate 

the creation of two standard instrument 

approach procedures at the Anaktuvuk 

Pass Airport. These standard instrument 

approach procedures were created in 

2009 and the need for airspace upward 

from 1200 feet above the surface was 

only recently identified. This amended 

Class E airspace will provide adequate 

controlled airspace upward from 700 

feet and 1200 feet above the surface, for 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the Anaktuvuk Pass 

Airport. This action also brings the 

coordinates for the Anaktuvuk Pass 

airport and the Anaktuvuk Pass NDB 

into agreement with those coordinates 

on file with the National Flight Data 

Center. 

Class E airspace designated as 700 

and 1200 foot transition areas are 

published in paragraph 6005 in FAA 

Order 7400.9U, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, signed August 18, 

2010, and effective September 15, 2010, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The airspaces listed in this 

document would be subsequently 

published in that 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. 

Because 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 the Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, 

Anaktuvuk, AK, and represents the 

FAA’s continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace at Driggs, ID, to accommodate 

aircraft using RNAV (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport. The 

airport name also would be corrected 

from Teton Peaks/Driggs Municipal 

Airport to Driggs-Reed Memorial 

Airport, and the geographic coordinates 

of the airport would be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. This action would enhance 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, 

and effective September 15, 2011, 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
