The Committee locally administers the marketing order which regulates the handling of Vidalia onions grown in Georgia.

The FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals from vision standards if the exemptions granted will not compromise safety.

An examination of the controlled airspace for Meade Municipal Airport, KS has revealed a discrepancy in the size of the Class E airspace area. In addition, the Meade, KS Non Directional Beacon (NDB) was decommissioned on June 29, 2004 and subsequently the NDB Runway 17 Instrument Approach Procedure was cancelled effective June 8, 2005. This action modifies the Class E5 airspace area beginning at 700 feet above the surface by removing the reference to the Meade, KS NDB from the legal description, deleting the airspace area extension and increasing the radius from a 6.5-mile radius to a 7.5 mile radius of the airport. This actions brings the Class E5 airspace area into compliance with FAA directives.

This action corrects several errors in the airspace descriptions of a final rule published in the Federal Register on June 22, 2005 (70 FR 36016), Airspace Docket No. 05-AAL-04.
