14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2008–0366; Airspace 

Docket No. 08–ANM–5] 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Weiser, ID 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action will establish 

Class E airspace at Weiser Municipal 

Airport, Weiser, ID. Controlled airspace 

is necessary to accommodate aircraft 

using a new Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Global Positioning System (GPS) 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedure (SIAP) at Weiser Municipal 

Airport, Weiser, ID. This will improve 

the safety of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) aircraft executing the new RNAV 

GPS SIAP at Weiser Municipal Airport, 

Weiser, ID. 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, 

November 20, 2008. 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 16, 2008, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to establish 

controlled airspace at Weiser, ID (73 FR 

33940). 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 7400.9R signed August 15, 2007, 

and effective September 15, 2007, 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 

establishing Class E airspace at Weiser, 

ID. Additional controlled airspace is 

necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft 

executing a new RNAV (GPS) approach 

procedure at Weiser Municipal Airport, 

Weiser, ID. 

The FAA has determined that 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 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 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 

controlled airspace at Weiser Municipal 

Airport, Weiser, ID.

14 CFR Part 382 

[Docket No. DOT–OST–2008–0272 and 

DOT–OST–2008–0273] 

Nondiscrimination on the Basis of 

Disability in Air Travel 

AGENCY: Department of Transportation, 

Office of the Secretary. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

electronic submission. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Transportation is publishing the 

following document regarding the 

provisions on conflict of laws and 

equivalent alternative determinations 

contained in the Office of the Secretary 

(OST) final rule on ‘‘Nondiscrimination 

on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel’’ 

(73 FR 27614; May 13, 2008). The 

document announces the availability of 

electronic submissions for conflict of 

law waiver requests and applications for 

equivalent alternative determinations 

through the Federal Docket Management 

System (FDMS). It also provides 

guidance to U.S. and foreign air carriers 

on how to submit such requests and 

applications through FDMS. 

DATES: This document is effective on 

September 15, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Blane A. Workie, Chief, Aviation Civil 

Rights Compliance Branch, Office of the 

Assistant General Counsel for Aviation 

Enforcement and Proceedings, 

Department of Transportation, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue, SE., Room W98– 

310, Washington, DC 20590, (202) 366– 

9342. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

13, 2008, the Department of 

Transportation published a final rule 

amending its Air Carrier Access Act 

(ACAA) rules to apply to foreign air 

carriers and adding new provisions 

concerning passengers who use medical 

oxygen and passengers who are deaf or 

hard-of-hearing. The rule, which applies 

to U.S. carriers wherever their 

operations take place and foreign air 

carriers with respect to their flights that 

begin or end at a U.S. airport, allows 

carriers to apply to the Department of 

Transportation (DOT or Department) for 

a waiver from the requirements in the 

rule if a foreign legal requirement 

conflicts with a given provision of this 

rule. A carrier that submits a conflict of 

law waiver request on or before 

September 10, 2008, obtains a 

commitment from DOT not to take 

enforcement action related to the 

allegedly conflicting foreign law 

pending DOT’s response to the waiver 

request. 

The rule also permits U.S. and foreign 

carriers to apply to the Department for 

a determination on what the final rule 

calls an ‘‘equivalent alternative.’’ A 

carrier that submits an application for 

an equivalent alternative determination 

on or before September 10, 2008, can 

implement its proposed equivalent 

alternative unless and until the 

Department disapproves it. However, a 

carrier that submits such an application 

after September 10, 2008, cannot use its 

proposed equivalent alternative unless 

and until the Department approves it. 

The rule specifies that carriers must 

send conflict of law waiver requests or 

applications for equivalent alternative 

determinations to the Assistant General 

Counsel for Aviation Enforcement and 

Proceedings. It provides the following 

address for paper submissions of such 

requests/applications: Assistant General 

Counsel for Aviation Enforcement and 

Proceedings, C–70, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue, SE., Room W96–322, 

Washington, DC 20590. It does not 

provide a mechanism for submitting the 

information electronically. The purpose 

of this notice is to inform airlines that 

they have the option of electronically 

submitting a conflict of law waiver 

request or an application for an 

equivalent alternative determination 

through FDMS as a substitute for paper 

submission. The Department believes 

that allowing carriers to submit the 

requested information through FDMS 

will make the process more efficient for 

carriers and will best ensure the timely 

receipt by the Office of the Assistant 

General Counsel for Aviation 

Enforcement and Proceedings (Aviation 

Enforcement Office) of the waiver 

requests and applications for equivalent 

alternative determinations. It should be 

noted that the filing of waiver requests 

or applications by mail is still permitted 

but this notice provides another 

mechanism for submitting such 

requests/applications. 

Manner of Submitting a Conflict of Law 

Waiver Request and an Application for 

Equivalent Alternative Determination 

Has a Public Docket Been Established? 

DOT has established an official public 

docket for conflict of law waiver 

requests under docket identification (ID) 

number DOT–OST–2008–0272 and for 

applications for equivalent alternative 

determinations under docket 

identification ID DOT–OST–2008–0273. 

The official public docket will consist of 

the waiver requests or applications and 

other information related to those 

actions (e.g., approval or denial of 

requests/applications). Although a part 

of the official docket, the public docket 

is not intended to include Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. The official public 

docket is the collection of materials that 

is available for public viewing.

Waiver Request or an Application for 

Equivalent Alternative Determination
