Docket No. 09–ACE–7] 

Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; St. Louis, MO 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class E airspace for the St. Louis, 

MO, area. Additional controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

new Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAPs) at Spirit of St. Louis 

Airport, St. Louis, MO. Also, there 

would be minor adjustments to the 

geographic coordinates for Lambert-St. 

Louis International Airport, St. Louis 

VORTAC, and the Foristell VORTAC. 

The FAA is taking this action to 

enhance the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft 

operations at Spirit of St. Louis Airport. 

DATES: 0901 UTC. Comments must be 

received on or before September 14, 

2009.

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 adding additional 

controlled Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for SIAPs operations at Spirit of St. 

Louis Airport, St. Louis, MO, and 

adjusting the geographic coordinates for 

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, 

St. Louis VORTAC, and the Foristell 

VORTAC to coincide with the FAAs 

National Aeronautical Charting Office. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and 

effective October 31, 2008, 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 add 

additional controlled airspace to the St. 

Louis, MO airspace area.

30 CFR Part 250 

[Docket ID: MMS–2007–OMM–0068] 

RIN 1010–AD47 

Annular Casing Pressure Management 

for Offshore Wells 

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service 

(MMS), Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would 

establish regulations to address 

sustained casing pressure in oil and gas 

wells completed on the Outer 

Continental Shelf. Sustained casing 

pressure is a problem that, if left 

untreated, could cause serious harm to 

human life or the environment. The 

proposed rule would establish criteria 

for monitoring and testing of wells with 

sustained casing pressure, and would 

also incorporate the American 

Petroleum Institute’s Recommended 

Practice for managing annular casing 

pressure. New regulations are needed 

because the current regulations do not 

adequately address requirements for 

wells that have sustained casing 

pressure. This rule would promote 

human safety and environmental 

protection, and require Outer 

Continental Shelf lessees to follow best 

industry practices for wells with 

sustained casing pressure. 

DATES: Submit comments by September 

29, 2009. The MMS may not fully 

consider comments received after this 

date. Submit comments to the Office of 

Management and Budget on the 

information collection burden in this 

proposed rule by August 31, 2009. This 

does not affect the deadline for the 

public to comment to MMS on the 

proposed regulations.
