Authority for This Proceeding 

This notice is published under the 

authority described in Subtitle VII, Part 

B, Chapter 471, Section 47129 of Title 

49 United States Code. Under 

subsection (b) of this section, the 

Secretary of Transportation is required 

to publish publishing policy statements 

establishing standards or guidelines the 

Secretary will use in determining the 

reasonableness of airport fees charged to 

airlines under Section 47129. 

Background 

On January 17, 2008, the Department 

of the FAA issued Notice of proposed 

amendment to the Policy Regarding the 

Establishment of Airport Rates and 

Charges Docket No. FAA–2008–0036, 

(73 FR 3310). Comments to that 

document were to be received on or 

before March 3, 2008. 

By a letter dated January 30, 2008 the 

Air Transport Association of America, 

Inc. (ATA), the Cargo Airline 

Association (CAA), the National Air 

Carrier Association (NACA), and the 

Regional Airline Association (RAA), on 

behalf of their members, requested that 

the comment period for Docket 2008–

0036 be extended until April 3, 2008. 

Industry trade groups expressed concern 

that critical pieces of information were 

missing from the January 17, 2008, 

notice that are essential to a full 

assessment of the impact of the 

proposed policy. The following 

information has been added to the 

docket: the list of secondary airports 

eligible for inclusion in the rate base 

(FAA Docket 2008–0036.0007.1); the list 

of congested airports (based on 1% of 

delays) (FAA Docket 2008–0036–

0008.1); the list of airports from the 

Benchmark report (FAA Docket 2008–

0036–0009.1). ATA, CAA, NACA and 

RAA requested an extension of the 

comment period by 30 days to provide 

sufficient time to more fully develop 

comments reflecting the views of the 

industry stakeholders. 

The Department and the FAA concur 

with the petitioners’ requests for an 

extension of the comment period on 

FAA Docket 2008–0036 and believe an 

additional 30 days should be adequate 

to provide more complete and 

meaningful comment. 

Extension of Comment Period 

In accordance with § 11.47(c) of title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations, the 

Department of the FAA have reviewed 

the petitions made by the Air Transport 

Association of America, Inc. (ATA), the 

Cargo Airline Association (CAA), the 

National Air Carrier Association 

(NACA), and the Regional Airline 

Association (RAA), on behalf of their 

members, for extension of the comment 

period to FAA Docket 2008–0036. These 

petitioners have shown a substantive 

interest in the proposed amendment to 

the 1996 Policy Regarding Airport Rates 

and Charges and good cause for the 

extension. The Department and the FAA 

have determined that extension of the 

comment period is consistent with the 

public interest, and that good cause 

exists for taking this action. 

Accordingly, the comment period for 

FAA Docket 2008–0036 is extended 

until April 3, 2008. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 5, 

2008.

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

Title: 49 CFR part 556, Exemption for 

Inconsequential Defect or 

Noncompliance. 

OMB Number: 2127—0045. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement, 

without change, of a previously 

approved collection which has expired. 

Abstract: The National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration’s statute at 

49 U.S.C. 30118, Notification of Defects 

and Noncompliance, and 49 U.S.C. 

30120, Remedies for Defects and 

Noncompliance, generally requires 

manufacturers of motor vehicles and 

items of replacement equipment to 

conduct a notification and remedy 

campaign (recall) when their products 

are determined to contain a safetyrelated defect or a noncompliance with 

a Federal motor vehicle safety standard 

(FMVSS). Those sections require a 

manufacturer of motor vehicles or motor 

vehicle equipment to notify distributors, 

dealers, and purchasers if any of the 

manufacturer’s products are determined 

to either contain a safety-related defect 

or fail to comply with an applicable 

FMVSS. The manufacturer is under a 

concomitant obligation to remedy such 

defect or noncompliance. Pursuant to 49 

U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h), 

Exemptions, a manufacturer may seek 

an exemption from these notification 

and remedy requirements on the basis 

that the defect or noncompliance is 

inconsequential as it relates to motor 

vehicle safety. NHTSA exercised this 

statutory authority to excuse 

inconsequential defects or 

noncompliances when it promulgated 

49 CFR part 566, Exemption for 

Inconsequential Defect or 

Noncompliance. This regulation 

establishes the procedures for 

manufacturers to submit exemption 

petitions to the agency and the 

procedures the agency will use in 

evaluating those petitions. Part 556 

allows the agency to ensure that 

inconsequentiality petitions are both 

properly substantiated and efficiently 

processed. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit entities. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 200. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 

days, to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725–17th 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, 

Attention NHTSA Desk Officer. 

Comments Are Invited On: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Agency, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Agency’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is most effective 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication. 

Issued on: February 5, 2008.
