products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We have determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would not 

have a substantial direct effect on the 

States, on the relationship between the 

national Government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that the proposed regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 

3. Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket. See the ADDRESSES section 

for a location to examine the regulatory 

evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 7, 2005, the Department of 

Transportation (DOT or Department) 

issued a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) that proposed to require 

airlines to provide in-flight medical 

oxygen without charge, to test certain 

respiratory assistive devices and to 

permit their use if safe. See 70 FR 

53108. The NPRM would apply to 

certain U.S. and foreign air carriers 

operating to and from the U.S. The 

original comment closing date is 

November 7, 2005. 

The Air Carrier Association of 

America (ACAA), the Air Transport 

Association (ATA), the National Air 

Carrier Association (NACA), and the 

Regional Airline Association (RAA) 

jointly requested an extension of the 

comment period to consider ‘‘the 

enormous technical, operational and 

cost issues raised by the multiple 

actions required by the NPRM.’’ They 

requested an extension of more than 

sixty days to January 30, 2006, at least 

partially because an extension of sixty 

days in this rulemaking would place the 

close of the comment period in the 

holiday season. This request was 

supported by comments from the 

International Air Transport Association 

(IATA), which further explained that 

IATA has begun the process of gathering 

comments from its in-flight, dangerous 

goods, passenger services, operations, 

medical and regulatory contacts but that 

gathering and collating such feedback is 

a significant task that requires time. 

The Department concurs that an 

extension of the comment period is 

necessary to allow members of industry 

sufficient time to analyze the impact of 

the proposed rule and believes that this 

extension would result in more 

thorough comments to the docket than 

might otherwise be possible without 

delaying final action in the rulemaking 

proceeding. We do not anticipate the 

need for any further extensions. 

Accordingly, the Department finds that 

good cause exists to extend the 

comment period on the proposed rule 

from November 7, 2005, to January 30, 

2006. 

Issued in Washington, DC this 17th day of 

October, 2005, under authority assigned to 

me by 14 CFR 385.17(c).

Assistant General Counsel for Regulation and 

Enforcement, U.S. Department of

Notification to the Secretary of 

Agriculture 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notification to the Secretary of 

Agriculture. 

SUMMARY: This document notifies the 

public that the Administrator of EPA 

has forwarded to the Secretary of 

Agriculture a draft proposed rule as 

required by section 25(a) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA). As described in the 

Agency’s semi-annual Regulatory 

Agenda, the draft proposed rule updates 

and revises data requirements for the 

registration of microbial and 

biochemical pesticide products to 

reflect current scientific knowledge and 

understanding. These data requirements 

and those already codified in part 158 

of title 40 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), are intended to 

provide EPA with data and other 

information necessary for the 

registration of biochemical and 

microbial pesticide products. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket 

identification (ID) number OPP–2005–

0415. All documents in the docket are 

listed in the EDOCKET index at 

http://www.epa.gov/edocket. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

is not placed on the Internet and will be 

publicly available only in hard copy 

form. Publicly available docket
