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 proposal is within the 

scope of that authority as it modifies 

controlled airspace at Bellingham 

International Airport, Bellingham, WA. 

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.

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 establishing Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at West Memphis, 

AR, to accommodate the separation of 

existing Class E airspace surrounding 

West Memphis Municipal Airport from 

the Class E airspace of Memphis 

International Airport, Memphis, TN. 

The amendment for the existing Class E 

airspace surrounding Memphis 

International Airport, Memphis, TN, 

would be simultaneously coordinated 

with this action. Controlled airspace is 

needed for the safety and management 

of IFR operations at the airport. 

Class E airspace areas 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 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 

establish controlled airspace at West 

Memphis Municipal Airport, West 

Memphis, AR. 

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.

Inadmissibility of Consumer Products 

and Industrial Equipment 

Noncompliant With Applicable Energy 

Conservation or Labeling Standards 

AGENCIES: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security; Department of the Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This document proposes 

amendments to the Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) regulations to provide 

that if certain imports do not comply 

with applicable energy conservation or 

labeling standards, CBP will refuse 

admission when so notified by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) or the 

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 

CBP may, upon a recommendation from 

DOE or FTC, conditionally release the 

goods so that they may be brought into 

compliance. Specifically, CBP will 

refuse admission into the customs 

territory of the United States to 

consumer products and industrial 

equipment deemed noncompliant with 

the Energy Policy and Conservation Act 

of 1975 (EPCA) and its implementing 

regulations, and for which CBP has 

received written notice from the DOE or 

the FTC that identifies merchandise as 

noncompliant with applicable EPCA 

requirements. In lieu of immediate 

refusal of admission, and upon written 

or electronic notice by DOE or FTC, CBP 

may conditionally release under bond to 

the importer such noncompliant 

products or equipment for purposes of 

reconditioning, re-labeling, or other 

action so as to bring the subject product 

or equipment into compliance with 

applicable energy conservation and 

labeling admissibility standards. If the 

subject import is not timely brought into 

compliance, CBP, at the direction of 

DOE or FTC, will issue a refusal of 

admission notice to the importer and
