The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
Class E airspace at Palmyra, PA,
providing the controlled airspace
required to support the new RNAV GPS
standard instrument approach
procedures for Reigle Field. Controlled
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface would be
established for the safety and
management of IFR operations at the
airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 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 will 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
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 United States Code.
Subtitle I, 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 proposed
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 proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority as it
would establish Class E airspace at
Reigle Field, Palmyra, PA.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to take
several actions on a revision to the
Minnesota State Implementation Plan
(SIP) which updates Minnesota’s rules
in the SIP. The Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA) submitted the
SIP revision to EPA on May 5, 2008.
EPA is proposing to approve the
majority of MPCA’s submittal, which
will result in consistent enforceability of
rules at the state and Federal levels.
EPA is proposing to defer action on two
sections of Minnesota’s rules related to
the state’s operating permit program.
Finally, EPA is proposing to disapprove
the state’s request to remove the

ACTION: Proposed Rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to partially
approve and partially disapprove
revisions to Colorado’s Regulation 1
adopted by the State of Colorado on July
21, 2005 and submitted to EPA on
August 8, 2006. The revisions involve
the use of obscurants during military
exercises while maintaining air quality,
averaged emission rate determination
over time and recordkeeping
requirements. Colorado’s Regulation 1
governs opacity, particulate, sulfur
dioxide (SO2), and carbon monoxide
(CO) emissions from sources. EPA has
determined that most of the revisions in
Colorado’s submittal are consistent with
the Clean Air Act (CAA) and should be
approved, but a revision to a provision
governing fuel burning equipment is not
and should be disapproved.
