SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 18, 2011, the President issued 

Executive Order 13563, ‘‘Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review,’’ to 

ensure that Federal regulations seek 

more affordable, less intrusive means to 

achieve policy goals, and that agencies 

give careful consideration to the benefits 

and costs of those regulations. 

Additionally, the Executive Order 

directs agencies to consider how best to 

promote retrospective analyses of 

existing rules. To implement the 

Executive Order, DOE published a plan 

to periodically review existing 

regulations to determine which should 

be maintained, modified, strengthened, 

or repealed to increase the effectiveness 

and decrease the burdens of DOE’s 

regulatory program. DOE’s plan is 

available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ 

21stcenturygov/actions/21st-centuryregulatory-system. 

Pursuant to its plan to implement the 

Executive Order, DOE published an RFI 

on May 15, 2012 seeking additional 

public comment on how best to review 

its existing regulations and to identify 

whether any of its existing regulations 

should be modified, streamlined, 

expanded, or repealed. (77 FR 28518) 

DOE sought comment on the RFI until 

May 29, 2012. DOE received a request 

from a member of the public to extend 

the comment period given the 

importance of many of the questions 

and issues raised in the RFI to the 

commenter. As a result, in this notice, 

DOE extends the reply comment period 

until June 19, 2012. DOE will consider 

any comments received by June 19, 

2012. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on May 23, 

2012.

Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRM’s should 

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

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 establishing Class E 

airspace at Chenega Bay Airport, 

Chenega Bay, AK. Controlled airspace is 

necessary to accommodate aircraft using 

the new RNAV (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Chenega Bay Airport, Chenega Bay, AK. 

This action would enhance the safety 

and management of aircraft operations 

at the airport. 

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 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this Order. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 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 regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

establish controlled airspace at Chenega 

Bay Airport, Chenega Bay, AK. 

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.

Accordingly, pursuant to the
