Persons interested in being placed on

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 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), Part 71 by amending Class E 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface at the Tucumcari 

VORTAC navigation aid, Tucumcari, 

NM. This action would contain aircraft 

while in IFR conditions under control of 

Albuquerque ARTCC by safely vectoring 

aircraft from en route airspace to 

terminal areas. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6006 of FAA Order 

7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and 

effective September 15, 2014, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document would 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 rule, 


rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 9, 2014 / Proposed Rules 72999 

when promulgated, will 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 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 regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

establish controlled airspace at the 

Tucumcari VORTAC, Tucumcari, NM. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Clean Data Determination for 1997 

PM2.5 Standards; California—South 

Coast; Applicability of Clean Air Act 

Requirements 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to determine 

that the South Coast air quality planning 

area in California has attained the 1997 

annual and 24-hour fine particle (PM2.5) 

National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards. This proposed determination 

is based upon complete (or otherwise 

validated), quality-assured, and certified 

ambient air monitoring data showing 

that the area has monitored attainment 

of the 1997 annual and 24-hour PM2.5

standards based on the 2011–2013 

monitoring period. The EPA is further 

proposing that, if the EPA finalizes this 

determination of attainment, the 

requirements for the area to submit 

certain State implementation plan 

revisions shall be suspended for so long 

as the area continues to attain the 1997 

annual and 24-hour PM2.5 standards. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before January 8, 2015.
