32046 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 99 / Monday, May 22, 2000 / Proposed Rules

wants to keep its monetary reserve

within the authorized maximum of

approximately one year’s operational

expenses as specified in section

930.42(a) of the order.

The Board discussed the alternative of

continuing the existing assessment

rates, but concluded that the Board

should operate as efficiently as possible

and the amount collected could cause

the operating reserve to exceed what is

actually needed. In deriving the

recommended assessment rates, the

Board estimated assessable tart cherry

production for the crop year at 260

million pounds. It further estimated that

about 245 million pounds of the

assessable poundage would be utilized

in the production of high-valued

products, like frozen, canned, or dried

cherries, and that about 15 million

pounds would be utilized in the

production of low-valued products, like

juice, juice concentrate, or puree.

Potential assessment income from the

high valued products would be

approximately $416,500 (245 million

pounds × $0.0017 per pound). The

potential income from tart cherries

utilized for juice, juice concentrate, or

puree would be $12,750 (15 million

pounds × $0.00085 per pound).

Therefore, total assessment income for

2000–2001 is estimated at $429,250.

This amount plus adequate supplies in

the reserve would be sufficient to cover

budgeted expenses. Funds in the reserve

(currently $300,000) would be kept

within the approximately one year’s

operational expenses permitted by the

order (7 CFR 930.42(a)).

This action would decrease the

assessment obligation imposed on

handlers. Assessments are applied

uniformly on all handlers, and some of

the costs may be passed on to

producers. However, decreasing the

assessment rate reduces the burden on

handlers, and may reduce the burden on

producers. In addition, the Board’s

meeting was widely publicized

throughout the tart cherry industry and

all interested persons were invited to

attend the meeting and participate in

Board deliberations on all issues. Like

all Board meetings, the March 2, 2000,

meeting was a public meeting and all

entities, both large and small, were able

to express views on this issue. Finally,

interested persons are invited to submit

information on the regulatory and

informational impacts of this action on

small businesses.

This action would impose no

additional reporting or recordkeeping

requirements on either small or large

tart cherry handlers. As with all Federal

marketing order programs, reports and

forms are periodically reviewed to

reduce information requirements and

duplication by industry and public

sector agencies.

The Department has not identified

any relevant Federal rules that

duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this

rule.

A small business guide on complying

with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop

marketing agreements and orders may

be viewed at the following web site:

http://www.ams.usda.gov/fv/

moab.html. Any questions about the

compliance guide should be sent to Jay

Guerber at the previously mentioned

address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section.

A 30-day comment period is provided

to allow interested persons to respond

to this proposed rule. Thirty days is

deemed appropriate because: the 2000–

2001 fiscal period begins on July 1,

2000, and the rate of assessment applies

to all assessable tart cherries handled

during the fiscal period.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend

the Class E surface area at Kearney

Municipal Airport, Kearney, NE. The

FAA has received a request to amend

the Class E surface area from part time

to full time. The intended effect of this

action is to provide segregation of

aircraft operating under IFR from

aircraft operating in visual weather

conditions. The area would be depicted

on appropriate aeronautical charts

thereby enabling pilots to

circumnavigate the area or otherwise

comply with IFR procedures. Class E

airspace areas designated as a surface

area for an airport are published in

paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9G,

dated September 10, 1999, and effective

September 16, 1999, 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.

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 a small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Lamoni, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

establish Class E airspace area at

Lamoni Municipal Airport, Lamoni, IA.

The Federal Aviation Administration

has developed Area Navigation (RNAV)

Runway (RWY) 17 and RNAV RWY 35

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs) to serve Lamoni

Municipal Airport, Lamoni, IA.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet Above Ground Level

(AGL) is needed to accommodate

aircraft executing the SIAPs. This

proposal would create controlled

airspace at Lamoni Municipal Airport.

The intended effect of this rule is to

provide controlled airspace for aircraft

executing the SIAPs at the Lamoni

Municipal Airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 5, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to; Manager,
