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 removing Colored 

Federal airway G–4 associated with the 

planned BTS NDB decommissioning 

near Dillingham, AK. The BTS NDB has 

been non-operational for over two years. 

Colored Federal Airways are 

published in paragraph 6009 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 Colored Federal airway listed 

in this document will be published 

subsequently 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. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

(2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

Department of Transportation (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, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

32318 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 8, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 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 remove a colored Federal 

airway in Alaska. 

Environmental Review 

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.

Enhancing Airline Passenger 

Protections 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Transportation is proposing to improve 

the air travel environment for 

consumers by: increasing the number of 

carriers that are required to adopt 

tarmac delay contingency plans and the 

airports at which they must adhere to 

the plan’s terms; increasing the number 

of carriers that are required to report 

tarmac delay information to the 

Department; expanding the group of 

carriers that are required to adopt, 

follow, and audit customer service plans 

and establishing minimum standards for 

the subjects all carriers must cover in 

such plans; requiring carriers to include 

their contingency plans and customer 

service plans in their contracts of 

carriage; increasing the number of 

carriers that must respond to consumer 

complaints; enhancing protections 

afforded passengers in oversales 

situations, including increasing the 

maximum denied boarding 

compensation airlines must pay to 

passengers bumped from flights; 

strengthening, codifying and clarifying 

the Department’s enforcement policies 

concerning air transportation price 

advertising practices; requiring carriers 

to notify consumers of optional fees 

related to air transportation and of 

increases in baggage fees; prohibiting 

post-purchase price increases; requiring 

carriers to provide passengers timely 

notice of flight status changes such as 

delays and cancellations; and 

prohibiting carriers from imposing 

unfair contract of carriage choice-offorum provisions. The Department is 

proposing to take this action to 

strengthen the rights of air travelers in 

the event of oversales, flight 

cancellations and long delays, and to 

ensure that passengers have accurate 

and adequate information to make 

informed decisions when selecting 

flights. In addition, the Department is 

considering several measures, including 

banning the serving of peanuts on 

commercial airlines, to provide greater 

access to air travel for the significant 

number of individuals with peanut 

allergies.

August 9, 2010. Late-filed comments

practicable.
