(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory Circular 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 amending Class D 

airspace at McConnell AFB, Wichita, 

KS. The closing of Derby, Hamilton 

Field, KS, has made this action 

necessary. Accordingly, the segment of 

controlled airspace once reserved for 

use at Derby, Hamilton Field, would 

revert to Class D airspace for use at 

McConnell AFB, Wichita, KS. 

Class D airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 

7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013 and 

effective September 15, 2013, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designation 

listed in this document would 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. 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. 

Since 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 U.S. 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 I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of 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 McConnell 

AFB, Wichita, KS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In the Federal Register of March 3, 

2014 (79 FR 11880), we published a 

proposed rule entitled ‘‘Food Labeling: 

Revision of the Nutrition and 

Supplement Facts Labels’’ with a 90-day 

comment period to request comments 

on amending our regulations for 

conventional foods and dietary 

supplements to provide updated 

nutrition information on the label to 

assist consumers in maintaining healthy 

dietary practices. Comments on the 

proposed rule will inform FDA’s 

rulemaking to amend the regulations for 

the Nutrition and Supplement Facts 

labels. 

We received multiple requests for a 

90-day extension of the comment period 

and one request for a 120-day extension 

of the comment period for the proposed 

rule. Each request conveyed concern 

that the original 90-day comment period 

does not allow sufficient time to 

develop a meaningful or thoughtful 

response to the proposed rule. 

We have considered the requests and 

are extending the comment period for 

the proposed rule for 60 days, until 

August 1, 2014. We believe that a 60- 

day extension allows adequate time for 

interested persons to submit comments 

without significantly delaying 

rulemaking on these important issues. 

II. Request for Comments 

Interested persons may submit either 

electronic comments regarding this 

document to http://www.regulations.gov 

or written comments to the Division of 

Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It 

is only necessary to send one set of 

comments. Received comments may be 

seen in the Division of Dockets 

Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, and will be 

posted to the docket at http://

www.regulations.gov.
