reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D

and Class E airspace designations listed

in this document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

establishment body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore this, proposed regulation—(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 will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Proposed Modification of Class E

Airspace; Harbor Springs, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to

modify Class E Airspace at Harbor

Springs, MI. An Area Navigation

(RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) to Runway 10, and an

RNAV SIAP to Rwy 28, have been

developed for Harbor Springs Airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth is needed to contain aircraft

executing these approaches. This action

would increase the radius of the existing

controlled airspace extending upward

from 1,200 feet for Harbor Springs

Airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before June 16, 2000.

proposal in triplicate to: Federal

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class E airspace at Harbor Springs, MI,

for Harbor Springs Airport. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet or more above the surface of the

earth is needed to contain aircraft

executing instrument approach

procedures. The area would be depicted

on appropriate aeronautical charts.

Class E airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth are published in paragraph

6005 of FAA order 7400.9G dated

September 1, 1999, and effective

September 16, 1999, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E designations listed in

this document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

establishment body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore this, proposed regulation—(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 will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

[CGD01–00–007]

RIN 2115–AA97

Regulated Navigation Area, Boston,

MA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to

decrease the safety zone ahead of loaded

Liquefied Natural Gas tank vessels

while the vessels transit Boston North

Channel and Boston Harbor from two (2)

miles ahead to one (1) mile ahead of the

vessel. This action is necessary to bring

the current safety zone into more

realistic boundaries due to the

configuration of the harbor. This

decrease of one mile ahead of the vessel

will have no effect on the safety of the

transits of these vessels, and will serve

to facilitate commerce in Boston Harbor.

DATES: Comments and related material

must reach the Coast Guard on or before

July 3, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be made

to: Commanding Officer, Marine Safety

Office Boston, Attn: LT Mike Antonellis,

455 Commercial Street, Boston,

Massachusetts 02109. The Inspections

and Investigations Department

maintains the public docket for this

rulemaking. Comments and material

received from the public, as well as

documents indicated in this preamble as

being available in the docket, will

become part of this docket and will be

available for inspection or copying at

the Coast Guard Marine Safety Office

between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday

through Friday, except Federal holidays.
