momentum) and also increasing 

potential energy (static pressure). 

Kinetic energy is then converted into 

usable pressure energy in the discharge 

collector. 

Centrifugal pumps that have single 

inlet impellers usually have a specific 

speed below approximately 90 (4,500). 

Those having double-suction impellers 

usually have a specific speed below 

approximately 135 (7,000). In pumps of 

this type, the liquid enters the impeller 

at the hub and flows radially to the 

periphery, exiting perpendicular to the 

rotating shaft. 

ii. Mixed Flow 

This type of pump has a single inlet 

impeller whereby the flow enters axially 

and discharges in a mixed axial and 

radial direction. Pumps of this type 

usually have a specific speed that ranges 

from approximately 90 (4,500) to 200 

(10,000). 

iii. Axial Flow 

A pump of this type, sometimes 

called a propeller pump, has a single 

inlet impeller. The flow enters axially 

and discharges nearly axially. Pumps of 

this type usually have a specific speed 

above approximately 200 (10,000). 

b. Definition of Positive Displacement 

Pumps 

Positive displacement pumps add 

energy by trapping liquid in a confined 

space and forcibly moving it out of the 

pump and into the discharge pipe. This 

pumping action is accomplished by one 

of three methods: 

(1) Reciprocating action of plungers, 

pistons, bellows or diaphragms; 

(2) Rotary action of mechanical 

devices such as gears, screws, vanes, 

etc.; or 

(3) Blow case arrangements using 

pressurized air to displace liquid.

Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRM’s 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 establish 

Class E airspace at Forest, VA providing 

the controlled airspace required to 

support the new RNAV GPS standard 

instrument approach procedures for 

New London Airport. Controlled 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface is required 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 establish Class E airspace at New 

London Airport, Forest, VA.
