Endofsessionnewsletter09--Email Version 2009 SESSION WRAP-UP FROM INSIDE: REPRESENTATIVE BRYCE EDGMON Dear Friends and Neighbors, With the low price of oil, this was a tough budget year. But I am pleased that at least we were able to maintain a satisfactory level of funding for state government that provides crucial programs and services. As chairman of the House Committee on Fisheries and Co-Chair of the House Energy Committee, I was presented with many new challenges and opportunities this legislative session. I was glad that through these added responsibilities I was able to bring attention to matters of vital importance to the entire district. In particular, I know that every member of the Energy Committee found our hearings in rural communities—including Dillingham, Kotzebue, and Nome—indispensible for learning firsthand the needs and viewpoints of bush Alaskans. When our Senator Lyman Hoffman introduced bills to continue the higher PCE subsidy and add $9 million to heating assistance programs, Energy Com- mittee members in the House were well aware of the real need for these measures. I’m certain that this helped ensure the success of Sen. Hoffman’s legislation. I am planning a very active interim for both the Fisheries and the Energy Committees, and I hope to look in on constituents in many areas of District 37. Wishing you a safe and rewarding summer season, Bryce Edgmon CONTACT YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE! Bryce Edgmon Interim Address: 716 W. 4th St., #390 Anchorage, AK 99501 Phone: 907-269-0275 Fax: 907-269-0274 Toll Free: 800-898-4451 Email: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU REPRESENTATIVE BRYCE EDGMON’S SESSION-END REPORT FROM THE CAPITOL APRIL 2009 Tight budgets dominate 2009 session The largest single influence on this year’s legislative session was the steep fall in the price of oil. With much less revenue to work with, our attention had to be focused on our budgets, and not many bills passed. Most of the negotiations were concen- trated on how to contain our spending while still making sure that necessary public programs remained effective. Our general approach was to construct a “maintenance level” budget. We sought to maintain the same level of governmental services as in the previous year, and we did our best to avoid creating expensive new programs. While this was a somewhat frugal approach, it was certainly better than the alternative of cutting programs statewide. The Stimulus package that passed in Washington, DC, gave us at least some money to spread around within our Capital Budget. In the Department of Trans- portation alone, the Stimulus package added almost $248 Million worth of pro- jects to the budget. In our district’s case, those funds are going to be used to finish the Wood River Road project in Dillingham and also the apron and taxi- way resurfacing of the King Salmon airport. Without that federal money, we would have had a very small Capital Budget. I’m happy we were able to help get funding for many projects, but there is a long list of needs for our district that were left out due to the paltry amount of state funds put into the capital budget this year. A quick glance at some statewide reports show there was only $183 million of General Fund dollars put in this year—not even matching what DOT alone captured from the Stimulus package. The budgets we passed will now go to Governor Palin for her signature. She has not given any clear indication of her plans for vetoes. Nevertheless, if your community has projects in the budget, I urge you to contact the governor and let her know how necessary and important they are. Wood River Road Receives Long-Awaited Funding One major accomplishment this year is our success in funding the Wood River Road reconstruction project in the Capital budget. The project will be 100% paid for with Stimulus money from the federal government. The last significant maintenance to this State-owned road was in 1982, and local residents have been requesting help for this project for at least 16 years. This road’s reconstruction is a great example of what Stimulus dollars were meant to accomplish. FY2010 Funding for Coastal Impact Assistance This session’s Capital Budget includes funding for several Coastal Resource Service Areas and boroughs in District 37. Also, direct federal funding from the Minerals Management Service will go to Lake & Peninsula Borough and Bristol Bay Borough. These monies are used for planning, projects, and activities related to the conservation and protection of coastal areas. Aleutians West CRSA $1,200,000 Aleutians East Borough $700,000 Bristol Bay CRSA $500,000 PAGE 3 SESSION-END REPORT Energy Committee Plans Unalaska Hearings The first year of the newly formed House Special Committee on Energy was a productive one, with several field meetings in rural communities and hearings in Juneau on a wide variety of important legislation, including our bill to create a Department of Energy for Alaska. We anticipate a busy interim. Here are just a few items we will be focusing on between now and January: • Our committee will continue making trips to communities in rural Alaska—including Unalaska—to show our urban lawmakers what life in the Bush is all about and how energy costs have impacted our homes and businesses. • Ed Sniffen from the Dept. of Law will work with us to explore possible legislation to address the lack of competition for fuel transporters and suppliers in Alaska. My thanks to the Judiciary Committee, which shares our view of the importance of this issue. • In addition to continuing work on our proposal to form a stand-alone state Department of Energy, we will also carry on our effort to develop a comprehensive Statewide Energy Plan. Giant Step for King Cove’s Link to the Cold Bay Airport Days after President Obama signed into law a public lands bill that included provisions to move ahead on the King Cove-Cold Bay road project, I introduced a bill in the legislature to complete the state’s role in the agreement. HB210 will give state approval for a land ex- change with the federal government in order to establish a road corri- dor through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge. Only ten days after its introduction, HB210 passed the House in a unanimous vote. It has now been transmitted to the Senate, where we anticipate it will also find wide support. It’s my hope that the bill will reach the gover- nor’s desk early in the next session. At RIGHT: Rep. Edgmon with (left to right) Staffers Tim Clark, Keri Smith, and Adam Berg.

Event Date: 1973-09-08 at 0542 ADT Investigative Body: National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), USA Investigative Body's Web Site: http://www.ntsb.gov/ Cautions: 1. Accident reports can be and sometimes are revised. Be sure to consult the investigative agency for the latest version before basing anything significant on content (e.g., thesis, research, etc). 2. Readers are advised that each report is a glimpse of events at specific points in time. While broad themes permeate the causal events leading up to crashes, and we can learn from those, the specific regulatory and technological environments can and do change. Your company's flight operations manual is the final authority as to the safe operation of your aircraft! 3. Reports may or may not represent reality. Many many non-scientific factors go into an investigation, including the magnitude of the event, the experience of the investigator, the political climate, relationship with the regulatory authority, technological and recovery capabilities, etc. It is recommended that the reader review all reports analytically. Even a "bad" report can be a very useful launching point for learning. 4. Contact us before reproducing or redistributing a report from this anthology.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend the following Offshore Airspace Areas in Alaska: Norton Sound Low, Woody Island Low, Control 1234L, and Control 1487L. The FAA found an error with the Offshore Airspace Legal Descriptions containing airspace descriptions not related to the need to apply IFR en route Air Traffic Control services in international airspace. This action would correct that error by removing terminal airspace, airspace associated with geographic coordinates, and airspace associated with NAVAIDs from the Offshore Airspace legal descriptions. DATES: Comments must be received on or before [INSERT DATE 45 DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, D.C. 20590; telephone: 1(800) 647-5527, or (202) 366-9826.

    Served: May 12, 2020 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. CONTINUATION OF CERTAIN AIR SERVICE PURSUANT TO PUBLIC LAW NO. 116-136 §§ 4005 AND 4114(b) Docket DOT-OST-2020-0037 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS TO SERVICE OBLIGATIONS Summary By this notice, the U.S. Department of Transportation (the Department) announces an opportunity for incremental adjustments to service obligations under Order 2020-4-2, issued April 7, 2020, in light of ongoing challenges faced by U.S. airlines due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency. With this notice as the initial step, the Department will use a systematic process to allow covered carriers1 to reduce the number of points they must serve as a proportion of their total service obligation, subject to certain restrictions explained below.2 Covered carriers must submit prioritized lists of points to which they wish to suspend service no later than 5:00 PM (EDT), May 18, 2020. DOT will adjudicate these requests simultaneously and publish its tentative decisions for public comment before finalizing the point exemptions. As explained further below, every community that was served by a covered carrier prior to March 1, 2020, will continue to receive service from at least one covered carrier. The exemption process in Order 2020-4-2 will continue to be available to air carriers to address other facts and circumstances. Background On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) into law. Sections 4005 and 4114(b) of the CARES Act authorize the Secretary to require, “to the extent reasonable and practicable,” an air carrier receiving financial assistance under the Act to maintain scheduled air transportation service as the Secretary deems necessary to ensure services to any point served by that air carrier before March 1, 2020.
