The Proposal This action proposes to amend title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 71 by amending Class E airspace, as an extension to a Class D or E surface area; and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, for new standard instrument approach procedures at Duluth E:\FR\FM\23MRP1.SGM 23MRP1 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 56 / Wednesday, March 23, 2011 / Proposed Rules International Airport, Duluth, MN. Controlled airspace is needed for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. Geographic coordinates would also be updated to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraphs 6004 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010 and effective September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document would be published subsequently 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. 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.

ACTION: Notification of policy change; request for comments. AGENCY: This notice states the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) policy pertaining to civil aircraft operators that provide contract support to government entities. DATES: Comments must be received before April 22, 2011. ADDRESSES: This is a statement of policy only. We are accepting comments concerning the implementation of this policy only from government entities via e-mail at PublicAircraft@faa.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Monica C.

SUMMARY: Title 49 of the United States Code (U.S.C), section 40102 (a)(41) provides the definition of ‘‘Public Aircraft’’ and Title 49 U.S.C 40125 provides the Qualifications for Public Aircraft Status. These statutory provisions provide the legal basis for public aircraft operations in the United States. The FAA recognizes that these statutory provisions are difficult to apply to aircraft operations conducted by civil contractors for government entities. The FAA is therefore clarifying its policy toward these operators by better defining the responsibilities of the parties affected by these contracts. Public Aircraft Operation is limited by the statute to certain government operations within U.S. airspace. Although these operations must comply with certain general operating rules (including those applicable to all aircraft in the National Airspace System), other civil certification and safety oversight regulations do not apply. Whether an operation may be considered public is determined on a flight-by-flight basis, under the terms of the statute (49 U.S.C 40102 and 49 U.S.C 40125) and considers aircraft SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\23MRP1.SGM 23MRP1

International Airport, Duluth, MN. Controlled airspace is needed for 
the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. Geographic 
coordinates would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's

    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);
