Public Meeting Procedures 

A panel of representatives from the 

FAA will be present. An FAA 

representative will facilitate the 

meetings in accordance with the 

following procedures: 

(1) The meetings are designed to 

facilitate the public input on policies 

that directly affect them. The meetings 

will be informal and non-adversarial. 

No individual will be subject to crossexamination by any other participant. 

Government representatives on the 

panel may ask questions to clarify 

statements and to ensure an accurate 

record. Any statement made during the 

meetings by a panel member should not 

be construed as an official position of 

the government. 

(2) There will be no admission fees or 

other charges to attend or to participate 

in the public meetings. The meetings 

will be open to all persons, subject to 

availability of space in the meeting 

room. The FAA will make every effort 

to accommodate all persons wishing to 

attend. The FAA asks that participants 

sign in at 9 a.m. on each day of the 

meeting being attended. The FAA will 

try to accommodate all speakers; 

however if available time does not allow 

this, speakers will be scheduled on a 

first-come-first-served basis. The FAA 

reserves the right to exclude some 

speakers, if necessary, to obtain 

balanced viewpoints. The meetings may 

adjourn early if scheduled speakers 

complete their statements in less time 

than is scheduled for the meetings. 

(3) The FAA will prepare agendas of 

speakers and presenters and make the 

agendas available at the meetings. 

(4) The meeting is intended to 

produce an environment conducive to 

an exchange of ideas. If speakers wish 

to give dedicated presentations, they 

may be limited to 5–10-minute 

statements. If possible, the FAA will 

notify speakers if additional time is 

available. 

(5) The FAA will review and consider 

all material presented by participants at 

the public meetings. Position papers or 

materials presenting views or 

information related to the topics 

discussed may be accepted at the 

discretion of the presiding officer and 

will be subsequently placed in the 

public docket. If the attendees wish to 

provide written materials, the FAA 

requests that the presenters provide at 

least 10 copies of all materials for 

distribution to the panel members. 

Presenters may provide other copies to 

the audience at their discretion. 

(6) Each person presenting comments 

is asked to submit data to support the 

comments. The FAA will protect from 

disclosure all proprietary data 

submitted in accordance with 

applicable laws.

73016 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 228 / Monday, November 29, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRMs should 

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface for new SIAPs 

developed at Newport State Airport, 

Newport, VT. Airspace reconfiguration 

is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Newport NDB 

and cancellation of the NDB approach. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, 

and effective September 15, 2010, 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. 

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, 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This proposed 

rulemaking is promulgated under the 

authority described in subtitle VII, part 

A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

would amend Class E airspace at 

Newport State Airport, Newport, VT.

The Proposed Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as

B, C, D, AND CLASS E AIRSPACE

continues to read as follows:

1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of Federal Aviation 

Administration Order 7400.9U, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, dated August 18, 2010, effective 

September 15, 2010, is amended as

within 1.8 miles each side of the 159° bearing
