ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES SUMMARY: This action will establish Class D airspace at New Braunfels, Texas. Establishment of an air traffic control tower at New Braunfels Municipal Airport has made this action necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft operations at New Braunfels Municipal Airport, New Braunfels, Texas. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, June 5, 2008. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary Mallett, AMTI CTR, Central Service Center, System Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Ft Worth, Texas, 76193–0530; at telephone (817) 222–4949. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On December 18, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class D airspace at New Braunfels, Texas (72 FR 71606). This action would improve the safety of IFR aircraft at New Braunfels Municipal Airport, New Braunfels, Texas. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR, part 71.1. The Class D airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in that Order. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 71 by establishing Class D airspace at New VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:48 Apr 08, 2008 Jkt 214001 Braunfels, Texas. A new air traffic control tower has been installed at New Braunfels Municipal Airport, making this action necessary for the safety and management of IFR aircraft operations at the airport. The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it establishes controlled airspace at New Braunfels Municipal Airport, New Braunfels, Texas.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: Under the Clean Air Act, EPA is approving certain revisions, and disapproving certain other revisions, to the Nevada state implementation plan. These revisions were the subject of a proposed rule published in the Federal Register on December 14, 2007. The provisions that EPA is approving include certain definitions; prohibitory rules; provisions related to legal authority and enforcement; rules establishing opacity, sulfur and volatile organic compounds limits; and rescission of abbreviations. EPA is disapproving the rescission of a certain definition and the rescission of a rule related to emission discharge information. EPA is taking this action under the Clean Air Act obligation to take action on submittals of revisions to state implementation plans. The effect of this action is to update the Nevada state implementation plan with amended or recodified rules and to rescind a provision found to be unnecessary for further retention in the plan. DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on May 9, 2008. ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number EPA–R09–OAR–2007–1155 for this action.

Table of Contents I. Proposed Action II. Public Comments III. EPA Action IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. Proposed Action On December 14, 2007 (72 FR 71095), under the Clean Air Act (CAA or ‘‘Act’’), EPA proposed approval of certain revisions, and disapproval of certain other revisions, to the Nevada state implementation plan (SIP) that had been submitted by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) on January 12, 2006 and June 26, 2007. Specifically, in our December 14, 2007 action, we proposed to approve the amended rules or statutory provisions shown in table 1. In today’s document, we are taking final action on the provisions in table 1 as we had proposed on December 14, 2007, except for NRS 445B.310 for which we take no action today, as explained below. The provisions listed in table 1 replace early 1980’s versions of these provisions. We proposed to approve the provisions in table 1 based on our review of applicable CAA and EPA regulatory requirements and a comparison of the provisions with the corresponding existing SIP provisions that they would replace. In general, we found that the submitted provisions mirror the corresponding provisions in the existing SIP or strengthen the SIP by eliminating exceptions, deleting limitations, or expanding legal authority, and on that basis, found that they would not interfere with attainment or maintenance of the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). With respect to public participation requirements under CAA section 110(l), in our December 14, 2007 proposed rule, we found that adequate documentation had been submitted by NDEP (or otherwise acquired by EPA) to show compliance with CAA procedural requirements for SIP revisions under CAA section 110(l) except for NRS 445B.310. Thus, we made our proposed approval of NRS 445B.310 contingent upon receipt of documentation of notice and opportunity for public hearing on adoption of NRS 445B.310 as a revision to the Nevada SIP. We have not received this documentation and thus are not taking final action on NRS 445B.310 in this document.
