notice number of this NPRM. Persons

interested in being placed on a mailing

list for future NPRM’s should also

request a copy of Advisory Circular No.

11–2A, which describes the application

procedure.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class E airspace at Griffith, IN, to

accommodate aircraft executing the

proposed GPS Rwy 26 SIAP, at GriffithMerrillville Airport by adding an

eastern extension to the existing

controlled airspace at the airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed to

contain aircraft executing the approach.

The area would be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts. Class E

airspace designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9E dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

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.

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 that this proposed rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

amend Class E airspace at Daytona

Beach, FL. The VOR RWY 8 SIAP at the

Ormond Beach Municipal Airport has

been amended to a VOR or GPS RWY

17 SIAP. As a result, the airspace for the

Ormond Beach Municipal Airport must

be amended from a 6.4- to a 7.3-mile

radius to accommodate the SIAP and for

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

at the airport. Additionally, the airspace

extension for the previous VOR RWY 8

SIAP will be removed. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface are published in

Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E

dated September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

A. The Fair Debt Collection Practices

Act

The Fair Debt Collection Practices

Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1691 et seq. (‘‘FDCPA’’),

prohibits a number of deceptive, unfair

and abusive practices by third party

debt collectors. Section 817 of the

FDCPA requires that the Commission

exempt from its requirements ‘‘any class

of debt collection practices within any

state if the Commission determines that

under the law of the state, the class of

debt collection practices is subject to

requirements substantially similar to

those imposed by [the FDCPA], and that

there is adequate provision for

enforcement.’’ The Commission has

received one application for exemption

from Sections 803–812 of the FDCPA

from the State of Maine for debt

collection practices conducted within

that State and granted that exemption.1

The FDCPA prohibits debt collectors

from using false or misleading

statements, harassing or abusive

conduct or any unfair methods to collect

debts. Among the practices which are

specifically prohibited are making false

threats to coerce payment (such as false

threats of suit); using deceptive

collection notices that falsely appear to

be from an attorney or court; and

engaging in any sort of harassment, such

as threatening violence, using profanity

and obscenities, or making continuous

phone calls. The FDCPA also restricts

the extent to which debt collectors may

call a consumer at work and prohibits

them from making calls to consumers
