The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface within a 6mile radius of Forrest General Hospital
Heliport, Hattiesburg, MS, providing the
controlled airspace required to support
the new Copter RNAV (GPS) standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at Forrest General Hospital
Heliport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016,
and effective September 15, 2016, 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.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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, will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
revisions to the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD or
District) portion of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). These
revisions concern the District’s
demonstration regarding Reasonably

requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone
National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS) in the South Coast Air Basin
and Coachella Valley ozone
nonattainment areas. The EPA had
previously proposed to partially
approve and partially disapprove
SCAQMD’s RACT SIP demonstration.
However, since publication of the
proposed rule, SCAQMD has addressed
the identified deficiency that was the

basis for the proposed partial
disapproval by completing additional
analysis and by submitting the analysis
to the EPA as a supplement to the RACT
demonstration. Because the
supplemental analysis adequately
addresses the deficiency, the EPA is
withdrawing the previous proposed
action and is now proposing full
approval of SCAQMD’s RACT SIP
demonstration for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS, as recently supplemented. The
action proposed herein is based on a

California SIP.

A. What documents did the State
submit?
On June 6, 2014, the SCAQMD
adopted the ‘‘2016 AQMP) Reasonably
Available Control Technology (RACT)
Demonstration’’ (‘‘2016 AQMP RACT
SIP’’), and on July 18, 2014, the
California Air Resources Board (CARB)
submitted it to the EPA for approval as
a revision to the California SIP. On
January 18, 2015, the submittal of the
2016 AQMP RACT SIP was deemed
complete by operation of law.
On May 22, 2017, CARB submitted
the District’s public draft version of the
‘‘Supplemental RACM/RACT Analysis
for the NOX RECLAIM Program’’ (‘‘2017
RACT Supplement’’) along with a
request for parallel processing.1 The
District prepared the 2017 RACT
Supplement to address a deficiency that
the EPA had identified in the 2016
AQMP RACT SIP and that was the basis
for the EPA’s proposed partial
disapproval of that submittal published
on November 3, 2016 (81 FR 76547).
The 2017 RACT Supplement includes
additional emissions analysis, two
negative declarations, and certain
conditions from permits for two specific
stationary sources located in Coachella
Valley. As noted in footnote 1 of this
document, under our parallel processing
procedure, the EPA proposes action on
a public draft version of a SIP revision
but will take final action only after the
final version is adopted and submitted
to the EPA for approval. In this instance,
we are proposing action based on the
public draft version of the 2017 RACT
Supplement submitted by CARB on May
22, 2017 and will not take final action
until the final version of the 2017 RACT
1 Under the EPA’s ‘‘parallel processing’’
procedure, the EPA proposes rulemaking action
concurrently with the state’s proposed rulemaking.
If the state’s proposed rule is changed, the EPA will
evaluate that subsequent change and may publish
another notice of proposed rulemaking. If no
significant change is made, the EPA will publish a
final rulemaking on the rule after responding to any
submitted comments. Final rulemaking action by
the EPA will occur only after the rule has been fully
adopted by California and submitted formally to the
EPA for incorporation into the SIP. See 40 CFR part
51, appendix V.

Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class E airspace at Bradley
International Airport, Windsor Locks, CT, by removing the NOTAM part-
time status of the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a
Class C surface area. This change would enhance the safety and
management of IFR operations at the airport. This proposal would also
update the geographic coordinates of the airport for Class E airspace
designated as an extension to a Class C surface area, and for Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface
within a 10.9-mile radius of Bradley International Airport to coincide
with the FAAs aeronautical database.
Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6003, and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and
effective September 15, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal would be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
