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 700 

feet above the surface to accommodate 

new standard instrument approach 

procedures at Wadena Municipal 

Airport, Wadena, MN. Accordingly, a 

segment would extend from the current 

6.5-mile radius of the airport to 12.9 

miles north of the airport to retain the 

safety and management of IFR aircraft in 

Class E airspace to/from the en route 

environment. The airport’s geographical 

coordinates would also be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and 

effective September 15, 2012, 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, 

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 

amend controlled airspace at Wadena 

Municipal Airport, Wadena, MN. 

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.

This action proposes to amend Title

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Washington County Memorial Airport, 

Washington, KS. Airspace 

reconfiguration to within a 7.3-mile 

radius of the airport is necessary due to 

the decommissioning of the Morrison 

NDB and cancellation of the NDB 

approach and would enhance the safety 

and management of IFR operations at 

the airport. Geographic coordinates of 

the airport would also be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Re-Proposal. A notice of proposed 

rulemaking to amend the current PCB 

criteria and to invite comment on an 

implementation plan was published in 

the Federal Register (74 FR 41100) on 

August 14, 2009. The Commission 

deferred action on the proposal, 

however, pending the refinement of 

implementation strategies for point 

sources. Today, the uniform criterion of 

16 picograms per liter is re-proposed, 

and a draft implementation strategy that 

has been revised for point sources is 

simultaneously published for comment. 

Current Criteria. The human health 

water quality criteria for PCBs currently 

in effect in Zones 2 through 5 of the 

Delaware Estuary were established by 

the Commission in 1996 (see 61 FR 

58047 and incorporation by reference at 

18 CFR part 410). The 1996 criterion 

applicable to the lower portion of Zone 

5 was extended to Zone 6, Delaware 

Bay, in 2010, effective the following 

year (see 76 FR 16285). The 

development of these PCB criteria predated the collection of site-specific 

bioaccumulation data for the Estuary 

and Bay and site-specific fishconsumption data for Zones 2 through 

4 that are relevant to the development 

of human health water quality criteria. 

They are also inconsistent with current 

guidance issued by the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’) for the development of such 

criteria, and they vary by water quality 

zone, adding undue complexity to 

application of the criteria in these tidal 

waters. 

Development of New Criteria. By 

Resolution No. 2003–11 on March 19, 

2003 the Commission directed the 

executive director to initiate rulemaking 

on a proposal to revise the 

Commission’s water quality criteria for 

PCBs for the protection of human health 

from carcinogenic effects to reflect sitespecific data on fish consumption, sitespecific bioaccumulation factors, and 

current EPA guidance on development 

of human health criteria. Amendment of 

the PCB criteria was delayed, however, 

pending ongoing work by the 

Commission’s Toxics Advisory 

Committee (‘‘TAC’’) to develop the new 

criterion and a simultaneous initiative 

by the Commission and diverse 

stakeholders to develop an 

implementation plan. The TAC is a 

standing committee of stakeholders, 

including regulators, municipal and 

industrial dischargers and 

environmental organizations that 

advises the Commission on technical 

matters relating to the control of toxic 

contaminants in shared waters of the 

Basin. 

Rigorously applying the most current 

available data and methodology, 

including site-specific data on fish 

consumption, site-specific 

bioaccumulation factors, and the current 

EPA methodology for the development 

of human health criteria for toxic 

pollutants (see EPA–822–B–00–004, 

October 2000), the TAC in July 2005 

completed development of a revised 

PCB water quality criterion for the 

protection of human health from 

carcinogenic effects for the Delaware 

Estuary and Bay, recommending 

adoption of a uniform criterion of 16 

picograms per liter for Water Quality 

Management Zones 2 through 6. By 

Resolution No. 2005–19 on December 7, 

2005, the Commission again directed 

the executive director to conduct 

rulemaking, specifically to replace the 

existing criteria for PCBs with the
