Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRM’s should contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application procedure. 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 the 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 would establish additional controlled airspace at Yellowstone Airport, West Yellowstone, MT. The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify Class E airspace at Yellowstone Airport, West Yellowstone, MT. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the new RNAV (GPS) SIAPs at Yellowstone Airport. This action would enhance the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of FAA Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in this Order. The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule, when promulgated, would 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 for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows: VerDate Nov<24>2008 13:23 Dec 18, 2009 Jkt 220001 List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2004, former EEOC Chair Cari M. Dominguez asked Commissioner Stuart J. Ishimaru to lead a workgroup to develop consensus recommendations from the Commissioners for improvements to the discrimination complaint process for Federal employees. The Federal Sector Workgroup considered testimony and submissions from the November 12, 2002 Commission meeting on Federal sector reform, draft staff proposals for Federal sector reform, and numerous submissions of internal and external stakeholders with suggestions for improvements to the Federal sector process. The Workgroup determined that there was not consensus within the Workgroup for large scale revision of the Federal sector EEO process at this time, but that there was agreement on several discrete changes to the existing regulations that would clarify or build on the improvements made by the last major revisions to Part 1614 in 1999. These regulation changes will be accompanied by the issuance of additional guidance in Management Directive 110 and other program changes at EEOC. The Commission sent the draft NPRM to 170 Federal agencies for coordination, pursuant to Executive Order 12067. Thirty-three agencies or agency components submitted comments on the proposed draft. Three agencies noted that they had no comments, or that they believed the proposed changes were improvements. Of the remaining thirty comments, nearly one-third were from various components of the Department of Justice. The inter-agency comments are summarized where appropriate in the discussion of the proposed changes below. Agency Process The Workgroup considered many recommendations for improvement to the parts of the Federal sector EEO process for which the agencies bear responsibility—counseling, investigations, and final actions. The Workgroup made a number of nonregulatory and regulatory recommendations to improve the agency process. EEOC proposes the following changes to the agency process in part 1614. The Commission proposes to add two new paragraphs to § 1614.102. One paragraph requires that agency EEO programs comply with part 1614 and the Management Directives and Bulletins issued by EEOC, and indicates that the Commission will review E:\FR\FM\21DEP1.SGM 21DEP1

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR) part 71 by revising Class E airspace at Iliamna Airport, AK, 
to accommodate amended RNAV SIAPs at Iliamna Airport. This Class E 
airspace would provide adequate controlled airspace upward from the 
surface, and from 700 and 1,200 feet above the surface, for the safety 
and management of IFR operations at Iliamna Airport.
    The Class E2 surface areas are published in paragraph 6002 in FAA 
Order 7400.9T, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed 
August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace areas 
designated as 700/1200 foot transition areas are published in paragraph 
6005 in FAA Order 7400.9T, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, 
signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designations listed in this document would be subsequently published in 
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
It, therefore --(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. Because 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 United States 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 1, Section 40103, Sovereignty and use of 
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing 
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable 
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because 
it proposes to revise Class E airspace at Iliamna Airport, Iliamna, AK, 
and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently 
use the navigable airspace.
