The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), Part 71 by amending Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface to accommodate
new standard instrument approach
procedures at Wadena Municipal
Airport, Wadena, MN. Accordingly, a
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:53 Aug 02, 2013
Jkt 229001
segment would extend from the current
6.5-mile radius of the airport to 12.9
miles north of the airport to retain the
safety and management of IFR aircraft in
Class E airspace to/from the en route
environment. The airport’s geographical
coordinates would also be updated to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and
effective September 15, 2012, 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. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority as it would
amend controlled airspace at Wadena
Municipal Airport, Wadena, MN.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Re-Proposal. A notice of proposed
rulemaking to amend the current PCB
criteria and to invite comment on an
implementation plan was published in
the Federal Register (74 FR 41100) on
August 14, 2009. The Commission
deferred action on the proposal,
however, pending the refinement of
implementation strategies for point
sources. Today, the uniform criterion of
16 picograms per liter is re-proposed,
and a draft implementation strategy that
has been revised for point sources is
simultaneously published for comment.
Current Criteria. The human health
water quality criteria for PCBs currently
in effect in Zones 2 through 5 of the
Delaware Estuary were established by
the Commission in 1996 (see 61 FR
58047 and incorporation by reference at
18 CFR part 410). The 1996 criterion
applicable to the lower portion of Zone
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
47241
5 was extended to Zone 6, Delaware
Bay, in 2010, effective the following
year (see 76 FR 16285). The
development of these PCB criteria predated the collection of site-specific
bioaccumulation data for the Estuary
and Bay and site-specific fishconsumption data for Zones 2 through
4 that are relevant to the development
of human health water quality criteria.
They are also inconsistent with current
guidance issued by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’) for the development of such
criteria, and they vary by water quality
zone, adding undue complexity to
application of the criteria in these tidal
waters.
Development of New Criteria. By
Resolution No. 2003–11 on March 19,
2003 the Commission directed the
executive director to initiate rulemaking
on a proposal to revise the
Commission’s water quality criteria for
PCBs for the protection of human health
from carcinogenic effects to reflect sitespecific data on fish consumption, sitespecific bioaccumulation factors, and
current EPA guidance on development
of human health criteria. Amendment of
the PCB criteria was delayed, however,
pending ongoing work by the
Commission’s Toxics Advisory
Committee (‘‘TAC’’) to develop the new
criterion and a simultaneous initiative
by the Commission and diverse
stakeholders to develop an
implementation plan. The TAC is a
standing committee of stakeholders,
including regulators, municipal and
industrial dischargers and
environmental organizations that
advises the Commission on technical
matters relating to the control of toxic
contaminants in shared waters of the
Basin.
Rigorously applying the most current
available data and methodology,
including site-specific data on fish
consumption, site-specific
bioaccumulation factors, and the current
EPA methodology for the development
of human health criteria for toxic
pollutants (see EPA–822–B–00–004,
October 2000), the TAC in July 2005
completed development of a revised
PCB water quality criterion for the
protection of human health from
carcinogenic effects for the Delaware
Estuary and Bay, recommending
adoption of a uniform criterion of 16
picograms per liter for Water Quality
Management Zones 2 through 6. By
Resolution No. 2005–19 on December 7,
2005, the Commission again directed
the executive director to conduct
rulemaking, specifically to replace the
existing criteria for PCBs with the

The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for standard instrument approach procedures
at Washington County Memorial Airport, Washington, KS. Airspace
reconfiguration to within a 7.3-mile radius of the airport is necessary
due to the decommissioning of the Morrison NDB and cancellation of the
NDB approach and would enhance the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport. Geographic coordinates of the airport would
also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and effective September 15, 2012, 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. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend controlled airspace at Washington County Memorial
Airport, Washington, KS.
