notice. Persons interested in being 

placed on a mailing list for future 

NPRM’s should contact the FAA’s 

Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, 

to request a copy of Advisory Circular 

No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR Part 71), which 

would establish Class E airspace at the 

Napakiak Airport, in Napakiak, AK. The 

intended effect of this proposal is to 

create Class E airspace upward from 700 

ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface to 

contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 

operations at the Napakiak Airport, 

Napakiak, AK. 

The FAA Instrument Flight 

Procedures Production and 

Maintenance Branch has created two 

new SIAPs for the Napakiak Airport. 

The SIAPs are (1) the Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) Runway (RWY) 16, Original and 

(2) the RNAV (GPS) RWY 34, Original. 

Class E controlled airspace extending 

upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above 

the surface in the Napakiak Airport area 

would be established by this action. The 

proposed airspace is sufficient in size to 

contain aircraft executing the 

instrument procedures at the Napakiak 

Airport, Napakiak, AK. 

The area would be depicted on 

aeronautical charts for pilot reference. 

The coordinates for this airspace docket 

are based on North American Datum 83. 

The Class E airspace areas designated as 

700/1200 foot transition areas are 

published in paragraph 6005 in FAA 

Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 

2007, and effective September 15, 2007, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations 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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes 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 1, Section 

40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace. 

Under that section, the FAA is charged 

with prescribing regulations to ensure 

the safe and efficient use of the 

navigable airspace. This regulation is 

within the scope of that authority 

because it proposes to create Class E 

airspace sufficient in size to contain 

aircraft executing instrument 

procedures at the Napakiak Airport, AK, 

and represents the FAA’s continuing 

effort to safely and efficiently use the 

navigable airspace.

No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR Part 71), which 

would revise the Class E airspace at the 

Badami Airport, in Badami, AK. These 

instrument procedures have been 

funded privately by the owner/operator 

of the airport. As such, the instrument 

procedures are Specials, which will 

only be used with the owner’s 

permission. The intended effect of this 

proposal is to revise Class E airspace 

upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above 

the surface to contain Instrument Flight 

Rules (IFR) operations at the Badami 

Airport, Badami, AK. 

The FAA Instrument Flight 

Procedures Production and 

Maintenance Branch has developed two 

SIAPs and an ODP for the Badami 

Airport. The new approaches are (1) the 

Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) Runway 

(RWY) 03, Original (Orig) and (2) the 

RNAV (GPS) RWY 21, Orig. Textual 

ODP’s are unnamed and in this case are 

provided to the owner of the airport. 

Class E controlled airspace extending 

upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above 

the surface in the Badami Airport area 

would be revised by this action. The 

proposed airspace is sufficient in size to 

contain aircraft executing the 

instrument procedures at the Badami 

Airport, Badami, AK. 

The area would be depicted on 

aeronautical charts for pilot reference. 

The coordinates for this airspace docket 

are based on North American Datum 83. 

The Class E airspace areas designated as 

700/1200 foot transition areas are 

published in paragraph 6005 in FAA 

Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 

2007, and effective September 15, 2007, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations 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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes 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 1, Section 

40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace. 

Under that section, the FAA is charged 

with prescribing regulations to ensure

airspace sufficient in size to contain

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This proposed rule amends 

regulations of the Bureau of Economic 

Analysis, Department of Commerce 

(BEA) to set forth the reporting 

requirements for a new mandatory 

survey entitled the BE–150, Quarterly 

Survey of Cross-Border Credit, Debit, 

and Charge Card Transactions. The 

proposed survey would collect from 

major U.S. credit card companies data 

on cross-border credit, debit, and charge 

card transactions between U.S. 

cardholders traveling abroad and foreign 

businesses and between foreign 

cardholders traveling in the United 

States and U.S. businesses. If approved, 

the BE–150 survey would be conducted 

on a quarterly basis beginning with the 

first quarter of 2009. 

The proposed BE–150 survey data 

will be used by BEA in estimating the 

travel component of the U.S. 

International Transactions Accounts 

(ITAs). In constructing the estimates, 

these data will be used in conjunction 

with data BEA will collect separately 

from U.S. and foreign travelers on the 

Survey of International Travel 

Expenditures on the methods these 

travelers used to pay for their 

international travel, such as credit, 

debit, and charge card purchases, cash 

withdrawals, currency brought from 

home, and travelers’ checks. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule 

will receive consideration if submitted 

in writing on or before 5 p.m. November 

17, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by RIN 0691–AA67, and

(202) 606–9826. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposed rule would amend 15 CFR 

Part 801.9 to add the reporting 

requirements for a new mandatory 

survey entitled BE–150, Quarterly 

Survey of Cross-Border Credit, Debit, 

and Charge Card Transactions. The 

Department of Commerce, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to comment on proposed and/ 

or continuing information collections, 

as required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. 

Description of Changes 

The proposed BE–150 survey would 

be a mandatory survey that would be 

conducted by BEA, beginning with 

transactions for the first quarter of 2009, 

under the International Investment and 

Trade in Services Survey Act (22 U.S.C. 

3101–3108), hereinafter, ‘‘the Act.’’ For 

the initial quarter of coverage, BEA 

would send the survey to potential 

respondents in March of 2009; 

responses would be due by April 30, 

2009. 

BEA maintains a continuing dialogue 

with respondents and with data users, 

including its own internal users, to 

ensure that, as far as possible, the 

required data serve their intended 

purposes and are available from the 

existing records, that instructions are 

clear, and that unreasonable burdens are 

not imposed. In reaching decisions on 

what questions to include in the survey, 

BEA considered the Government’s need 

for the data, the burden imposed on 

respondents, the quality of the likely 

responses (for example, whether the 

data are available on respondents’ 

books), and BEA’s experience in 

previous annual and quarterly surveys. 

If implemented, the BE–150 survey 

would collect from the U.S. credit card 

companies data covering cross-border 

credit, debit, and charge card 

transactions between U.S. cardholders 

traveling abroad and foreign businesses 

and between foreign cardholders 

traveling in the United States and U.S. 

businesses—by country of the 

transaction (for U.S. cardholders) or by 

country of residency of the cardholder
