Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking 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 modifying Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for new standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Boone Municipal Airport, Boone, IA. 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Boone NDB and the cancellation of the 

NDB approach. Controlled airspace is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011 and 

effective September 15, 2011, 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 

amend controlled airspace at Boone 

Municipal Airport, Boone, IA. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

in part a State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of 

New Hampshire on January 28, 2005.

at Env-A 2703.02(a). This rule 

establishes and requires limitations on 

visible emissions from all hot mix 

asphalt plants. This revision is 

consistent with the maintenance of all 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards

action is being taken under the Clean 

Air Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules Section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this action rule, 

no further activity is contemplated. If 

EPA receives adverse comments, the 

direct final rule will be withdrawn and 

all public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. 

For additional information, see the 

direct final rule which is located in the 

Rules Section of this Federal Register.

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R04–OAR–2012–0237; FRL– 9718–5] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Tennessee; 

110(a)(1) and (2) Infrastructure 

Requirements for the 2008 8-Hour 

Ozone National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

in part, and conditionally approve in 

part, the State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) submission, submitted by the State 

of Tennessee, through the Tennessee 

Department of Environment and 

Conservation (TDEC), to demonstrate 

that the State meets the requirements of 

sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the Clean 

Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2008 8- 

hour ozone national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS). Section 110(a) of 

the CAA requires that each state adopt 

and submit a SIP for the 

implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of each NAAQS 

promulgated by EPA, which is 

commonly referred to as an 

‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. TDEC certified that 

the Tennessee SIP contains provisions 

that ensure the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS are implemented, enforced, and 

maintained in Tennessee (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘infrastructure 

submission’’). EPA is proposing to 

conditionally approve sub-element 

110(a)(2)(E)(ii) of Tennessee’s October 

19, 2009, submission because the 

current Tennessee SIP does not include 

provisions to comply with the 

requirements of this sub-element. With 

the exception of sub-element 

110(a)(2)(E)(ii), EPA is proposing to 

determine that Tennessee’s 

infrastructure submission, provided to 

EPA on October 19, 2009, addressed all 

the required infrastructure elements for 

the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before September 21, 

2012.
