Establishment of Class E Airspace; Minersville, PA
This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Primrose Heliport, Minersville, PA, to accommodate new area navigation (RNAV) global positioning system (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures serving this heliport.

Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace, St Simons, GA, and Brunswick, GA; Proposed Revocation of Class E Airspace, Brunswick, GA, and Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace, Brunswick, GA
This action proposes to establish Class E surface airspace for St Simons Island Airport, St Simons, GA, and for Brunswick Golden Isles Airport, Brunswick, GA, and amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface in Brunswick, GA, to accommodate airspace reconfiguration due to the airport's names and cities requiring updates. Also, this action proposes to remove Class E surface airspace listed as Brunswick Glynco Jetport, GA, and Brunswick Malcolm- McKinnon Airport, GA in the FAA's 7400.11C. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at these airports. This action also would update the geographic coordinates of St Simons Island Airport, (formally Brunswick Malcolm-McKinnon Airport).

Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Marshalltown, IA
This action proposes to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Marshalltown Municipal Airport, Marshalltown, IA. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Elmwood VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) navigation aid, which provided navigation guidance for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. Airspace redesign is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this airport.

Lease and Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers
FMCSA amends its May 27, 2015, final rule on Lease and Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers (2015 final rule) in response to petitions for rulemaking. This final rule narrows the applicability of the 2015 final rule by excluding certain contracts and other agreements between motor carriers of passengers that have active passenger carrier operating authority registrations with FMCSA from the definition of lease and the associated regulatory requirements. For passenger carriers that remain subject to the leasing and interchange requirements, FMCSA returns the bus marking requirement to its July 1, 2015, state with slight modifications to add references to leased vehicles; revises the exception for the delayed writing of a lease during certain emergencies; and removes the 24-hour lease notification requirement.
