Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019. FAA Order
7400.11D is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying the Class
E airspace at Truckee-Tahoe Airport.
The proposal would reduce the
dimensions of the Class E airspace
areas, designated as an extension to a
Class D or Class E surface airspace area.
The airspace areas would be described
as follows: That airspace extending
upward from the surface within 1 mile
each side of the 017° bearing from the
airport, extending from the 4.2-mile
radius of the airport to 9.7 miles north
of the airport; and within 1.2 miles west
and 0.9 miles east of the 316° bearing
from the airport, extending from the 4.2mile radius of the airport to 8.3 miles
northwest of Truckee-Tahoe Airport.
This action also proposes to amend
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface. The action
proposes to properly size the airspace
areas north of the airport and add an
area over the airport and an area west
of the airport. These areas are designed
to contain IFR departures to 1,200 feet
above the surface and IFR arrivals
descending below 1,500 feet above the
surface. These airspace areas would be
described as follows: That airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface within a 4.2-mile radius of
the airport, and within 2 miles each side
of the 018° bearing from the airport,
extending from 9.7 miles to 11.6 miles
north of the airport, and within 1.1
miles each side of the 266° bearing from
the airport, extending from the 4.2-mile
radius to 13.5 miles west of the airport,
and within 2.7 miles west and 1.9 miles
east of the 321° bearing from the airport,
extending from 8.3 miles to 14.8 miles
northwest of the airport, and within an
area beginning at 4.2 miles on the 324°
bearing from the airport, then to 6.5
miles on the 324° bearing from the
airport, then clockwise within a 6.5mile radius of the airport to the 008°
bearing from the airport, then along the
008° bearing to 4.2 miles, then
counterclockwise within a 4.2-mile

radius of the airport to the 324° bearing
northwest of Truckee-Tahoe Airport.
Lastly, this action proposes an
administrative amendment to all of the
airspace’s legal descriptions for
Truckee-Tahoe Airport. To match the
FAA aeronautical database, the airport’s
geographical coordinates should be
updated to lat. 39°19′12″ N, long.
120°08′23″ W.
Class D, E2, E4, and E5 airspace
designations are published in
paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11D,
dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019, 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.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current, is non-controversial, and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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, would 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 will 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.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve,
through parallel processing, a draft
source-specific State Implementation
Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the
State of North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality, Division of Air
Quality (DAQ) through a letter dated
June 24, 2020. North Carolina’s June 24,
2020, draft source-specific SIP revision
requests that EPA incorporate into the
SIP more stringent sulfur dioxide (SO2)
permit limits than those currently
contained in the SIP for the Blue Ridge
Paper Products, LLC (also known as
BRPP) facility located in the Beaverdam
Township Area of Haywood County,
North Carolina. Specifically, EPA is
proposing to approve, into the SIP,
specific SO2 permit limits and
associated operating restrictions,
monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting
(MRR) and testing compliance

requirements established in a BRPP title
V operating permit as permanent and
enforceable SO2 control measures. North
Carolina submitted these limits to
support its recommendation that EPA
designate the Beaverdam Township
Area as ‘‘attainment/unclassifiable’’
under the 2010 primary SO2 national
ambient air quality standard (NAAQS or
standard) (also referred to as the 2010 1hour SO2 NAAQS). The purpose of this
rulemaking is not to take action on
whether these SO2 emissions limits are
adequate for EPA to designate the
Beaverdam Township Area as
attainment under the 2010 1-hour SO2
NAAQS. Instead, EPA will determine
the air quality status and designate
remaining undesignated areas for the
2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS, including the
Beaverdam Township Area, in a
separate action. This proposed SIP
approval does not prejudge that future
designation action.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying the Class E airspace at
Truckee-Tahoe Airport. The proposal would reduce the dimensions of the
Class E airspace areas, designated as an extension to a Class D or
Class E surface airspace area. The airspace areas would be described as
follows: That airspace extending upward from the surface within 1 mile
each side of the 017[deg] bearing from the airport, extending from the
4.2-mile radius of the airport to 9.7 miles north of the airport; and
within 1.2 miles west and 0.9 miles east of the 316[deg] bearing from
the airport, extending from the 4.2-mile radius of the airport to 8.3
miles northwest of Truckee-Tahoe Airport.
This action also proposes to amend Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface. The action proposes to properly
size the airspace areas north of the airport and add an area over the
airport and an area west of the airport. These areas are designed to
contain IFR departures to 1,200 feet above the surface and IFR arrivals
descending below 1,500 feet above the surface. These airspace areas
would be described as follows: That airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface within a 4.2-mile radius of the airport, and
within 2 miles each side of the 018[deg] bearing from the airport,
extending from 9.7 miles to 11.6 miles north of the airport, and within
1.1 miles each side of the 266[deg] bearing from the airport, extending
from the 4.2-mile radius to 13.5 miles west of the airport, and within
2.7 miles west and 1.9 miles east of the 321[deg] bearing from the
airport, extending from 8.3 miles to 14.8 miles northwest of the
airport, and within an area beginning at 4.2 miles on the 324[deg]
bearing from the airport, then to 6.5 miles on the 324[deg] bearing
from the airport, then clockwise within a 6.5-mile radius of the
airport to the 008[deg] bearing from the airport, then along the
008[deg] bearing to 4.2 miles, then counterclockwise within a 4.2-mile
radius of the airport to the 324[deg] bearing northwest of Truckee-
Tahoe Airport.
Lastly, this action proposes an administrative amendment to all of
the airspace's legal descriptions for Truckee-Tahoe Airport. To match
the FAA aeronautical database, the airport's geographical coordinates
should be updated to lat. 39[deg]19'12'' N, long. 120[deg]08'23'' W.
Class D, E2, E4, and E5 airspace designations are published in
paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order
7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019, 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.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial, and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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, would 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 will 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.
