This action proposes to revise Class E airspace at Hooper Bay, AK. Two new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) are being developed for the Hooper Bay Airport. Adoption of this proposal would result in revising Class E airspace upward from 700 feet (ft.) and 1,200 ft. above the surface at Hooper Bay, AK.

This action proposes to revise Class E airspace at Homer, AK. Four new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) are being developed for the Homer Airport. Adoption of this proposal would result in revising Class E airspace upward from 700 feet (ft.) and 1,200 ft. above the surface at Homer, AK.

This action proposes to revise Class E airspace at Tok Junction, AK. One new Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) is being developed for the Tok Junction Airport. Adoption of this proposal would result in revising Class E airspace upward from 700 feet (ft.) and 1,200 ft. above the surface at Tok Junction, AK.

This action proposes to revise Class E airspace at St. Michael, AK. One amended Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) is being developed for the St. Michael Airport. Adoption of this proposal would result in revising Class E airspace upward from 700 feet (ft.) and 1,200 ft. above the surface at St. Michael, AK.

Pursuant to section 183(e)(3)(C) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA has determined that control technique guideline (CTG) documents will be substantially as effective as national regulations in reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) nonattainment areas from the following Group II product categories: Lithographic printing materials, letterpress printing materials, flexible packaging printing materials, flat wood paneling coatings, and industrial cleaning solvents. EPA is taking final action to list these product categories pursuant to CAA section 183(e). Based on this determination, EPA is issuing final CTGs in lieu of national regulations for the control of VOC emissions from each of these product categories. These CTGs provide guidance to the States concerning EPA(s recommendations for reasonably available control technology (RACT)-level controls for the product categories.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Model Mystere-Falcon 50 and 900 airplanes and Falcon 900EX airplanes, and Model Falcon 2000 and Falcon 2000EX airplanes. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the identification plates of the outboard slats to determine the type of identification plates and the P/Ns. For certain airplanes, this proposed AD would also require a revision to the Limitations and Normal Procedures sections of the airplane flight manual to provide procedures for operation in icing conditions; and replacement of the anti-icing manifold with an anti-icing manifold of the correct type design if necessary. For certain airplanes, this proposed AD would also require related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD results from a finding that the outboard slats for Model Mystere-Falcon 50 airplanes have been erroneously authorized, in limited cases, as interchangeable for use on Model Mystere-Falcon 900 airplanes and Falcon 900EX airplanes, and Model Falcon 2000 and Falcon 2000EX airplanes. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the anti-icing manifold of the outboard slats, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.

This proposed rule would clarify and explain the procedures to be followed by requesters seeking a waiver or a reduction of fees under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This proposed rule describes the information that must be included in a FOIA request and the demonstrations that must be made in order for a waiver or reduction in fees to be granted. This proposed rule would also revise the FOIA fee schedule, clarify the time at which HUD will begin processing a FOIA request, and modify HUD's policy on the use of outside contractors to fulfill FOIA requests. HUD is undertaking this effort in order to make the regulations governing fee waivers more informative and helpful in accordance with the President's recently issued Executive Order 13392, ``Improving Agency Disclosure of Information.''

The Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the Harvey Canal Railroad Bascule Bridge across the Harvey Canal, mile 0.2 (Gulf Intracoastal Canal, mile 0.2 west of Harvey Lock, near Gretna, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. This deviation provides for the bridge to remain closed to navigation for 60 consecutive hours to conduct scheduled maintenance to the drawbridge.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (``OFAC'') is revising the Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, the Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, and the Foreign Terrorist Organizations Sanctions Regulations to authorize in-kind donations of medical devices and medical services by U.S. nongovernmental organizations to the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Health.

This document contains amendments to the regulations relating to user fees for the special enrollment examination to become an enrolled agent, the application for enrollment of enrolled agents, and the renewal of this enrollment. The charging of user fees is authorized by the Independent Offices Appropriations Act (IOAA) of 1952.

This document establishes Class E airspace at Mineral Point, WI. A request has been made for a new area of Class E airspace extending upward from the surface, due to traffic volume. This action would establish a radius of class E airspace for Iowa County Airport.

On August 11, 2006, NOAA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register to establish marine reserves and marine conservation areas within the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (Sanctuary). The preamble of that rule contained inconsistent or inaccurate figures denoting the current size of the Sanctuary that need to be corrected. This document corrects and clarifies those figures.

The FAA is proposing changes to its certification procedures and identification requirements for aeronautical products and parts. The proposed changes address standardizing requirements for production approval holders; requiring production approval holders to issue airworthiness approvals for aircraft engines, propellers, and other aviation parts; requiring manufacturers to mark all parts and components; and revising export airworthiness approval requirements to facilitate global manufacturing. The intent of these proposed changes is to promote safety by ensuring that aircraft, and parts designed specifically for use in aircraft, wherever manufactured, meet applicable standards. This action is also necessary to update our regulations to reflect the current global aircraft and aircraft parts manufacturing environment.
