14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2011–0516; Airspace 

Docket No. 11–ANM–12] 

Modification of Class E Airspace; 

Forsyth, MT 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action will modify Class 

E airspace at Forsyth, MT. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

aircraft using Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Global Positioning System (GPS) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at Tillitt Field Airport. This 

action also corrects a typographical 

error in the regulatory text for the Class 

E airspace area. This action improves 

the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

October 20, 2011. 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 June 7, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to modify 

controlled airspace at Forsyth, MT (76 

FR 32879). Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. No 

comments were received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, 

and effective September 15, 2010, 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 

modifying Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Tillitt Field Airport, Forsyth, MT, to 

accommodate IFR aircraft executing 

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. This 

action also corrects a typographical 

error in the regulatory text of the Class 

E airspace area by correcting ‘lat. 

46°05′00′′ N., long. 106°210′3′′ W.’ to 

‘lat. 46°05′ 00′′ N., long. 106°21′ 03′′ W.’. 

This action is necessary for the safety 

and management of IFR operations. 

Except for administrative changes, and 

the changes listed above, this rule is the 

same as that proposed in the NPRM. 

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 establishes 

additional controlled airspace at Tillitt 

Field Airport, Forsyth, MT.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

16 CFR Part 1450 

Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa 

Safety Act; Incorporation by Reference 

of Successor Standard 

AGENCY: U.S. Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (‘‘Commission,’’ ‘‘CPSC,’’ 

or ‘‘we’’) finds the successor drain cover 

standard, ANSI/APSP–16 2011, to be in 

the public interest, and incorporates the 

standard by reference into its 

regulations implementing the Virginia 

Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. 

DATES: The rule takes effect September 

6, 2011. The incorporation by reference 

of the publication listed in this rule is 

approved by the Director of the Federal 

Register as of September 6, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. What does the Virginia Graeme 

Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act do? 

What standard is involved? 

The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and 

Spa Safety Act (VGB Act), 15 U.S.C. 

8001 et seq., was signed into law on 

December 19, 2007, and became 

effective on December 19, 2008. The 

VGB Act’s purpose is to prevent drain 

entrapment and child drowning in 

swimming pools and spas. 

The VGB Act requires that each 

swimming pool or spa drain cover 

manufactured, distributed, or entered 

into commerce in the United States 

conform to the entrapment protection 

standards of the ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 

performance standard or any successor 

standard regulating such swimming 

pool or spa drain cover. 15 U.S.C. 

8003(b). The standard in existence at the 

time the VGB Act was passed was 

ANSI/ASME A112.19.8–2007. The VGB 

Act provides that if a successor standard 

is proposed, ASME must notify the 

Commission of the proposed revision. 

Id. The Commission, if it determines 

that the proposed revision is in the 

public interest, shall incorporate the 

revision into the standard, after 

providing 30 days’ notice to the public. 

Id. 

On August 11, 2008 and October 22, 

2009, ASME approved two addenda to 

ANSI/ASME A112.19.8–2007, namely, 

ASME A112.19.8a–2008 and ASME 

A112.19.8b–2009 (collectively referred 

to herein as ‘‘addenda’’). On February 

17, 2011, the Association of Pool and 

Spa Professionals (APSP) approved the 

ANSI/APSP/IAPMO–16 2011 standard, 

a successor standard to ASME/ANSI 

A112.19.8–2007, which is substantively 

identical to ANSI/ASME A112.19.8– 

2007 and its two addenda. (In April 

2011, IAPMO terminated its status as 

co-secretariat to the ANSI/APSP/ 

IAPMO–16 2011 standard, so ANSI/ 

APSP/IAPMO–16 2011 became ANSI/ 

APSP–16 2011.) On March 18, 2011, 

ANSI/ASME began the process of 

withdrawing the A112.19.8–2007 

standard. We have reviewed the 

successor standard, ANSI/APSP–16– 

2011, made comparisons to the 

requirements in ANSI/ASME 

A112.19.8–2007, and assessed whether 

the changes are in the public interest. 

B. What are the changes to the 

standard, and are the changes in the 

public interest? 

There were two substantive changes 

between the ANSI/ASME A112.19.8– 

2007 standard and ANSI/APSP–16 

2011, each of which was made in the 

addenda to ANSI/ASME A112.19.8– 

2007. The other changes to the standard 

were minor and were made primarily to 

add clarity to the standard. We discuss 

the substantive changes in this part of 

the preamble. 

a. Ultraviolet Light Exposure Test 

The Ultraviolet Light Exposure Test 

(UV test) subjects the plastic drain 

fitting material to the damaging effects 

of UV rays that accompany sun 

exposure when the drains are installed 

in pools and spas. (‘‘Fitting’’ is a term 

used in ANSI/ASME A112.19.8–2007 

instead of ‘‘cover.’’ ANSI/ASME 

A112.19.8–2007 indicates that ‘‘cover’’ 

is an obsolete term.) Tests for the 

structural integrity of the drain fitting 

are performed after the drain fittings are 

exposed to UV light degradation. The 

structural integrity tests subject the 

drain fitting to forces expected under 

normal use and to excessive forces 

expected under extreme conditions. 

In ANSI/ASME A112.19.8–2007, the 

UV test is conducted by a single 

method. According to section 3.2 of 

ANSI/ASME A112.19.8–2007, 12 new 

drain fittings are placed in a UV test 

chamber and exposed to UV light and 

water spray, according to the protocol in 

ASTM G154, Standard Practices for 

Operating Fluorescent Light Apparatus 

for UV Exposure of Non-metallic 

Materials. When the drain fitting is too 

large to fit in a test chamber, 

representative sections are tested to the 

intent of the structural integrity tests. 

This means that the test procedures in 

the structural integrity tests must be 

adapted to suit the diminished size/ 

shape of the drain fitting section. 

Changes to the UV testing were made 

in ANSI/ASME A112.19.8a–2008 and 

were carried over to ANSI/APSP–16 

2011. ANSI/ASME A112.19.8a–2008 

includes two UV test methods. Test 

Method 1 follows the general fullsample UV exposure in ASME 

A112.19.8–2007, with the addition of 

two more choices for the UV exposure 

protocol, specifically, ASTM G155, 

Standard Practice for Operating Xenon 

Arc Light Apparatus for Exposure of 

Non-Metallic Materials; and ASTM 

G153, Standard Practice for Operating 

Enclosed Carbon Arc Light Apparatus 

for Exposure of Nonmetallic Materials. 

Test Method 2 is an alternate UV 

exposure test. Here, the fitting 

polymeric material is molded into small 

uniform specimens. Half of the 

specimens are exposed to UV light and 

water spray, and half are not exposed. 

The exposed and unexposed (virgin) 

material specimens are then tested for 

tensile strength and impact resistance. 

The samples of the material must retain 

at least 70% of the virgin value 

(meaning that the samples, when tested, 

must retain at least 70% of the tensile 

strength and impact resistance values of 

the unexposed material) when the 

tensile strength and impact resistance 

tests are performed. The intensification 

factor, K, is defined as the inverse of the 

lowest retained portion. Thus, for 

example, if 80% of the tensile strength 

is retained in the exposed material and 

85% of the impact resistance, then the 

intensification factor is K=1/0.80=1.25. 

Complete (as sold) fittings are then 

tested to the structural integrity tests in 

sections 3.3 through 3.8 in ANSI/ASME 

A112.19.8–2007. For Test Method 1, the 

UV-exposed drain fitting is tested in the 

structural tests to the forces and 

pressures specified. This is essentially
