An informal docket may also be examined during normal business hours at the office of the Western Terminal Service Area, Federal Aviation Administration, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Lawndale, California 90261. Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRM’s should contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application procedure. rmajette on PROD1PC67 with PROPOSALS1 Background Mountain Home AFB RAPCON works daily with Salt Lake ARTCC, transferring traffic between the facilities’ airspace areas. The RAPCON’s airspace has been charted into the ARTCC mapping file structure and extended to join with the Owyhee MOA boundary to the southwest of Mountain Home AFB. This wedge of airspace is outside the current 40 DME arc from the Mountain Home TACAN which accommodated the former approach control boundary to the southwest. The 46 DME arc brings that wedge into Class E airspace and is a fluid transition from adjoining Class E airspace along V113 to the southwest and around to V253 to the southeast, incorporating the northern portion of the Jarbridge MOA, accommodating the terminal environment transition and making control procedures more operationally efficient. The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to revise the Class E airspace area with a base altitude of 1,200 feet AGL in the vicinity of Mountain Home AFB, ID. Class E airspace is used to transition to and from the terminal or enroute environment, allowing a buffer for arriving and departing IFR aircraft from uncontrolled to controlled airspace. A review of the airspace in southern Idaho revealed a large area of uncontrolled (Glass G) airspace immediately adjacent to the (controlled) Class E airspace currently utilized by Mountain Home AFB RAPCON. Because this airspace is Class G below 14,500 feet mean sea level (MSL), Mountain Home AFB RAPCON does not have the authority to initiate IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) control instructions and vector aircraft transferred to them from Salt Lake ARTCC. IFR operations can take place in Class G, but the ability of the approach control to provide vectors, as an example, should not happen until within the confines of the approach control delegated airspace. The 46 DME VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:09 Aug 18, 2006 Jkt 208001 arc provides for this buffer where transition from Class G to E can take place (arrival or departure), and allows the approach control in question to provide that vector within Class E. The Mountain Home AFB RAPCON airspace extends only to the 40 DME arc, and therefore, has no safe buffer currently established. The proposed airspace revision incorporates into Class E airspace that portion of Mountain Home AFB RAPCON delegated airspace that was extended to join with the Owyhee MOA boundary to the Southwest of Mountain Home AFB. This wedge of airspace is outside the current 40 DME arc from the Mountain Home TACAN, which accommodated the former approach control boundary to the southwest. In addition, the 6500 feet MSL Class E airspace to the southeast within the Jarbridge Military Operations Area (MOA) will be incorporated into this 1200 foot AGL Class E airspace. Neither Mountain Home AFB RAPCON nor Salt Lake ARTCC utilize this airspace at 6500 feet MSL, and containing it at 1200 feet AGL will allow Mountain Home AFB RAPCON to vector aircraft to Jarbridge MOA at lower altitudes. Class E enroute domestic airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and effective September 15, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in this Order. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

E6–13703 Filed 8–18–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717–01–P VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:09 Aug 18, 2006 Jkt 208001 18 CFR Part 410 Proposed Temporary Amendments to the Water Quality Regulations, Water Code and Comprehensive Plan To Extend the Designation of the Lower Delaware River as a Special Protection Water Delaware River Basin Commission. ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking and public hearing. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Delaware River Basin Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or DRBC) will hold a public hearing to receive comments on a proposed amendment to the Commission’s Water Quality Regulations, Water Code, and Comprehensive Plan to extend through September 30, 2007 the temporary classification of the Lower Delaware River as Significant Resource Waters (SRW). The SRW classification was enacted by Commission Resolution No. 2005–2 on January 19, 2005 and initially was due to expire on September 30, 2005. Based upon analysis of additional water quality data, the Commission proposed to decide by the latter date whether to classify certain sections of the Lower Delaware River as Outstanding Basin Waters (OBW) and whether to make the SRW classification permanent for some or all of the Lower Delaware. By Resolution No. 2005–15 approved on September 26, 2005, the temporary classification was extended through September 30, 2006 in order to allow additional time for the Commission to evaluate implementation options and establish numeric values for existing water quality. In order to complete its evaluation of implementation approaches, the Commission is today proposing to extend the temporary classification for up to twelve months more. If approved, the classification would thus expire on September 30, 2007 unless the Commission should either permanently classify the Lower Delaware River or once again extend the temporary classification by rule amendment prior to that date. Permanent classification is anticipated, following an additional notice and comment rulemaking when the Commission has resolved remaining implementation issues. Extending the temporary classification will help to protect the exceptional scenic, recreational and water quality values of the Lower Delaware from degradation in the interim. PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 The public hearing will take place on Wednesday, September 27, 2006 during the Commission’s regular business meeting, beginning at 1:30 p.m. Driving directions are available on the Commission’s Web site, https:// www.drbc.net. Persons wishing to testify are asked to register in advance with the Commission Secretary, at (609) 883– 9500 ext. 203. Written comments will be accepted through the close of the public hearing; however, earlier submittals would be appreciated. ADDRESSES: The public hearing will take place at the Commission’s office building, located at 25 State Police Drive, West Trenton, New Jersey. Directions are posted on the Commission’s Web site, https:// www.drbc.net. The complete text of Resolutions Nos. 2005–2, temporarily amending the Water Quality Regulations, Water Code, and Comprehensive Plan of the Commission by designating the Lower Delaware River a Special Protection Water, and 2005–15, extending the temporary amendment approved by Resolution No. 2005–2, are available on the Commission’s Web site, https:// www.drbc.net, or upon request from the Delaware River Basin Commission, P.O. Box 7360, West Trenton, NJ 08628– 0360. Maps depicting the designated area are also available on the Web site or upon request. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information, please contact Pamela M. Bush, Commission Secretary and Assistant General Counsel, Delaware River Basin Commission, at 609–883–9500 ext. 203. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Lower Delaware River extends from the southern boundary of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area at River Mile (RM) 209.4 to the head of tide at Trenton, New Jersey, RM 144.4. The effect of temporary classification of the Lower Delaware as Significant Resource Waters (SRW) has been to make this portion of the main stem Delaware River and its drainage area subject to all applicable provisions of the Commission’s Special Protection Waters regulations, Section 3.10.3A.2 of the Commission’s Water Quality Regulations, except those that depend for implementation upon the use of numeric values for existing water quality. Key provisions of the Special Protection Waters Regulations that will continue to apply within the drainage area to the Lower Delaware River if the proposed extension of the SRW classification is approved include but are not limited to the following: DATES: DELAWARE RIVER BASIN COMMISSION 48497 E:\FR\FM\21AUP1.SGM 21AUP1
