Incorporation by Reference
Class E airspace is published in
paragraph 6005 of FAA Order JO
7400.11, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an
annual basis. This document proposes
to amend the current version of that
order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, dated
August 11, 2023, and effective
September 15, 2023. These updates
would be published subsequently in the
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
That order is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend 14
CFR part 71 by establishing Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface to within a 8.2mile radius of Standing Rock Airport,
Fort Yates, ND.

Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
The FAA is proposing this action due
to the development of new public
instrument procedures and to support
IFR operations.
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 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.

18 CFR Part 801
Review and Approval of Projects
Susquehanna River Basin
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking;
notice of public hearing.
AGENCY:
This document contains
proposed rules that would amend the
regulations of the Susquehanna River
Basin Commission (Commission) to
provide rules for agency procurement
and bid protest procedures. This
rulemaking also updates the general
policies of the Commission to include
climate change and environmental
justice, revises the procedures regarding
the adoption of the comprehensive plan
and adds language memorializing the
Commission’s Dry Cooling Resolution.
These rules are designed to clarify the
Commission’s existing authorities to
manage the water resources of the basin
and provide transparency and
accountability procedures to the
Commission’s public procurement
practices.
SUMMARY:
Comments on the proposed
rulemaking may be submitted to the
Commission on or before May 13, 2024.
The Commission has scheduled a public
hearing on the proposed rulemaking to
be held by in person and by telephone
on May 2, 2024. The location of the
public hearing is listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed

fax: 717–238–2436; email: joyler@
srbc.net. Also, for further information
on the proposed rulemaking, visit the
Commission’s website at https://
www.srbc.net.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission is proposing revisions to
Part 801 to add rules for agency
procurement and bid protest procedures
and amend the existing rules to include
climate change and environmental
justice, to revise the procedures
regarding the adoption of the
comprehensive plan and to memorialize
the Commission’s Dry Cooling
Resolution.
Addition of § 801.15 Commission
Procurement Procedures; Protests
The Commission, as an independent
compact agency, is not subject to any of
its member jurisdictions’ laws regarding
public procurement. The Susquehanna
River Basin Compact provides the rules
governing purchasing by the
Commission in Section 15.9. The
Compact also provides the Commission
the ability to provide for the internal
organization and administration of the
Commission (Section 15.1(b)(3)) and to
make rules and regulations to effectuate
the Compact (Section 15.2).
As a companion to this rulemaking,
the Commission is also seeking
comment on a proposed policy entitled
‘‘SRBC Procurement Procedures’’ that
outlines the details and procedures
related to the purchasing and
procurement of goods and services by
the Commission. The adoption and any
revisions to this policy shall be
consistent with § 15.9 of the Compact
and undertaken in accordance with
appropriate public notice and comment
consistent with the requirements of 18
CFR 808.1(b).
The goal of the rulemaking is to
provide more transparency to the
Commission’s procurement process as
well as to establish a bid protest
procedure. The proposed rule provides
that a protest must be filed with the
Commission within ten calendar days
after the aggrieved protestant knew or
should have known of the facts giving
rise to the protest. In no event may a
protest be filed later than ten calendar
days after the date the contract was
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
awarded. These time frames differ from
the 30 day appeal period for other
administrative appeals in 18 CFR 808.2,
but are generally in line with the bid
protest timelines of our member
jurisdictions. The rule outlines the
exclusive procedure for procurement
protests before the Commission.
Other Changes Proposed to Part 801
The proposed rulemaking also
provides other changes to the existing
Part 801 that the Commission deems
beneficial. The Commission proposes to
amend § 801.2 to remove paragraph
(b)(9) requiring periodic reports be
submitted to the Commission as that
practice no longer occurs. In its place,
the Commission proposes to work with
our member jurisdictions on actions that
can be taken to improve climate
resiliency and address environmental
justice. This change reflects the
additions of these critical issues to the
Commission’s adopted 2021–2041
Comprehensive Plan.
Additional changes are proposed to
revise § 801.5 related to the
Comprehensive Plan. The process,
presentation and layout for the adoption
of the Comprehensive Plan has evolved
since 1973. The proposed revisions
more accurately reflect the modern
process that was most recently used in
2021, but also are designed in a way that
is meant to be more adaptable for future
plan revisions and adoptions. Notably,
the proposed process in § 801.5(a)(4)
will enable the list of projects approved
by the Commission each quarter to be
included in the Comprehensive Plan by
their continual updating in the publicly
available viewer application (currently
the Water Application and Approval
Viewer, or WAAV).
Finally, the Commission proposes the
addition of paragraph (d) to § 801.12
related to electric power generation
facilities. This new paragraph
memorializes and elevates the Use of
Dry Cooling Technology for Power
Generation and Other Facilities,
Commission Resolution No. 2015–02
(Dry Cooling Resolution). The Dry
Cooling Resolution has been
instrumental in reducing the water
consumption of new power plants in the
basin. The Commission recognizes that
an increasing number of power
generation facilities, most recently
combined cycle natural gas powered
plants, are utilizing dry cooling
technology to reduce the environmental
footprint in the basin, and are
demonstrating overall efficiencies in
operations that are equivalent to wet
cooling processes. Dry cooling
technology significantly reduces the
water demand of such facilities and

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document proposes to amend the current version of that order, FAA Order
JO 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023.
These updates would be published subsequently in the next update to FAA
Order JO 7400.11. That order is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend 14 CFR part 71 by establishing Class
E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a
8.2-mile radius of Standing Rock Airport, Fort Yates, ND.
The FAA is proposing this action due to the development of new
public instrument procedures and to support IFR operations.
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 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.
