manual or ICA by establishing a life limit of
25,000 flights or 10 years since date of

equivalent record for each TT strap P/N
2604067 and P/N 117–14110, if one does not
exist, and record a life limit of 25,000 flights

Disestablishment of Danger Zone for
Meteorological Rocket Launching
Facility, Shemya Island Area, AK
AGENCY:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Proposed rule.
The U.S. Air Force has
requested that the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) disestablish the
existing danger zone located in the
Bering Sea near Shemya Island, Alaska.
The danger zone was established on
September 28, 1971. The purpose of the
danger zone was to protect persons and
property from dangers encountered in
the area associated with the launching
of weather rockets. The facility has not
been used for this activity since the
mid-1980s. As a result of the
discontinued use of this area, the Air
Force has requested the danger zone be
disestablished. In the ‘‘Rules and
Regulations’’ section of Federal
Register, we are publishing the
restricted area disestablishment as a
direct final rule without prior proposal
because we view this as a noncontroversial adjustment to our
restricted area regulations and
anticipate no adverse comment. We
have explained our reasons for this
approval in the preamble to the direct
final rule. If we receive no adverse
comment, we will not take further
action on this rule and it will go into
effect. If we receive adverse comment,
we will withdraw the direct final rule
and it will not take effect. We will

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a

approve the 2007 Attainment/Base Year
CO emissions inventory. In addition,
EPA proposes to approve the shutdown
of 5 CO maintenance monitors in New
Jersey. The New Jersey portion of the
NYNNJLI CO area was redesignated to
attainment of the CO National Ambient
Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) on
August 23, 2002 and the maintenance
plan was also approved at that time. By
