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. Public Participation A. Submission of Information

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.
