Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRMs 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 amend Class E surface area airspace to accommodate new SIAPs developed at Malcolm-McKinnon Airport, Brunswick, GA. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of the McKinnon NDB and cancellation of the NDB approach, and for continued safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport would be adjusted to coincide with the FAAs National Aeronautical Charting Office, and reference to the Glenco Jetport would be removed from the airspace designation as the Jetport is listed separately in the Order.

Class E airspace designated as surface areas are published in Paragraph 6002, 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


### 69906 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 220 / Tuesday, November 16, 2010 / Proposed Rules

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 amend Class E airspace at Malcolm-McKinnon Airport, Brunswick, GA. Lists of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (Air). The Proposed Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

**RIN 1625–AA09**

**Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW),**  **Elizabeth River, Southern Branch, VA**

**AGENCY :**  Coast Guard, DHS.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking.

**SUMMARY :**  The Coast Guard proposes to temporarily change the regulations that govern the operation of the Gilmerton (US13/460) Bridge across the Elizabeth River (Southern Branch), AIWW mile 5.8, at Chesapeake, VA. Due to the construction of the new Gilmerton Highway Bridge, the existing drawbridge has experienced increased delays to vehicular traffic during unscheduled vessel openings. The proposed change would provide adjustments and set opening periods for the bridge during the day, relieving vehicular traffic congestion during the weekday and weekend daytime hours while still providing for the reasonable needs of navigation.

**DATES :**  Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before April 18, 2011.
