Docket No. 11–AAL–16] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Anaktuvuk Pass, AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action revises Class E 

airspace at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, 

Anaktuvuk Pass, AK. The creation of 

two standard instrument approach 

procedures at the airport has made this 

action necessary to enhance safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations. This action also 

adjusts the geographic coordinates of 

the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

February 9, 2012. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On September 13, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend controlled airspace at 

Anaktuvuk Pass, AK (76 FR 56354). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Reference to the 

adjustment to the geographic 

coordinates of the airport was 

inadvertently omitted in the NPRM, and 

is now noted. 

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 

Part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

revising Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, to 

accommodate the creation of two 

standard instrument approach 

procedures. This action is necessary for 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations. This action also brings the 

coordinates for the Anaktuvuk Pass 

Airport into agreement with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this 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 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 

discusses 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 creates 

additional controlled airspace at 

Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, Anaktuvuk, 

AK.

14 CFR Part 399 

[Docket No. DOT–OST–2010–0140] 

RIN 2105–AD92 

Enhancing Airline Passenger 

Protections: Limited Extension of 

Effect Date for Full Fare Price 

Advertising 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: This direct final rule delays 

the effective date regarding the time 

period for compliance with a portion of 

the full fare and other advertising 

requirements from January 24, 2012, to 

January 26, 2012. The intended effect of 

this delay is to provide regulatory relief 

to petitioner American Airlines by 

allowing the carrier and any other 

similarly situated carriers or ticket 

agents to avoid having to update full 

fare information in on-line reservations 

systems on a day of the week that is the 

petitioner’s, and may be other carriers’ 

and ticket agents’, heaviest on-line 

traffic and revenue day. This action is 

necessary to minimize the detrimental 

effects of any difficulties that may arise 

in the immediate aftermath of on-line 

implementation of programming 

necessary to comply with the new 

requirement that sellers of air 

transportation advertise the full fare, 

including all government-imposed taxes 

and fees. This delay is a minor 

substantive change, in the public 

interest, and unlikely to result in 

adverse comment. 

DATES: The effective date for the 

amendment to 14 CFR 399.84, 

published April 25, 2011, at 76 FR 

23110, and delayed July 28, 2011, at 76 

FR 45181, is further delayed until 

January 26, 2012. This delay is effective 

December 23, 2011, unless an adverse 

comment or a written notice of intent to 

submit an adverse comment is received 

by December 23, 2011. OST will publish 

in the Federal Register a timely 

document confirming the delayed 

effective date for the amendment to 14 

CFR 399.84.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department of Transportation 

issued a rule requiring that all airlines 

and ticket agents that advertise airfares 

or air tours must advertise the full fare 

to be paid for the air transportation or 

air tour, including all governmentimposed taxes and fees. This rule 

changes the Department’s past policy of 

permitting government taxes and fees 

imposed on a per-person basis, such as 

passenger facility charges and segment 

fees, to be stated separately from the 

advertised fare. The first time carriers 

and ticket agents must provide the full 

fare information in all fare 

advertisements, including their on-line 

reservations systems, is January 24, 

2012. (76 FR 45181, July 28, 2011) 

On December 8, 2011, American 

Airlines (American) submitted a motion 

to the Department requesting a change 

of the effective date of the rule from the 

24th to the 26th of January, because the 

24th falls on a Tuesday, which it states 

is its busiest internet traffic and revenue 

day each week and may be the busiest 

for other sellers of air transportation as 

well. The carrier seeks to avoid having 

the complexities of rolling out the new 

pricing system when traffic and revenue 

activity is heaviest and any problems 

with the new system would be 

exacerbated. American points out that it 

is not feasible to implement the change 

earlier due to the extremely tight 

schedule necessary to complete its 

reprogramming and testing effort and 

that the requested 2-day extension will 

have no material negative effect on 

consumers. American asks that the 

requested relief apply to the Web sites 

of any party affected by the new rule, as 

well as to advertising that refers 

customers to Web sites for booking, 

such as that which appears on-line, in 

print, on television, and radio. 

American states that it informally 

canvassed several carriers and that the 

responses received were favorable. In 

addition, Department staff has 

informally heard from several 

organizations representing travel 

agencies and consumers which state 

they have no objection to the short 

extension requested. 

Other carriers as well as ticket agents 

have in the past advised us that 

reprogramming their on-line
