Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 7, 2011 / Proposed Rules 76335 

Æ What safety mechanisms or devices 

have you designed into the system to 

minimize or mitigate hazards to persons 

or property on the ground? 

• Minimized impacts to NAS 

facilities. 

Æ What are your plans or how is your 

system designed to reduce a large radar 

cross-section and become less 

conspicuous to surveillance systems? 

Æ What are your plans or how is your 

system designed to reduce impacts to 

any communication or navigation 

systems supporting the NAS? 

In addition, the FAA is requesting 

input from airspace users regarding the 

impact AWES would have on the NAS. 

Specifically, we request airspace users 

provide comments to the following. 

Additional information may be 

requested upon further contact and 

coordination. This information must be 

submitted by February 6, 2012. 

• What safety implications do you 

foresee of AWES operations with 

respect to your use of the airspace or 

your interest to the NAS? 

• Would you have any concerns 

about AWES permanently operating at 

altitudes above 500 feet AGL, but, under 

1,999 feet AGL? If so, what and why? 

• If AWES were permitted to 

permanently operate in altitudes at or 

above 2,000 feet AGL, how do you 

foresee this as negatively impacting 

your missions, use of the airspace, or 

other interests in the NAS? 

• What other concerns and/or issues 

might you have with respect to AWES 

co-existing in the NAS? 

Comments Invited 

The FAA invites interested persons to 

submit written comments, data, or 

views. The agency also invites 

comments relating to the economic, 

environmental, energy, or federalism 

impacts that might result from adopting 

the proposals in this document. The 

most helpful comments reference a 

specific portion of the proposal, explain 

the reason for any recommended 

change, and include supporting data. To 

ensure the docket does not contain 

duplicate comments, commenters 

should send only one copy of written 

comments, or if comments are filed 

electronically, commenters should 

submit only one time. 

The FAA will file in the docket all 

comments it receives. Before acting on 

this proposal, the FAA will consider all 

comments it receives on or before the 

closing date for comments. The FAA 

will consider comments filed after the 

comment period has closed if it is 

possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. The agency may 

change this proposal in light of the 

comments it receives. 

Proprietary or Confidential Business 

Information: Commenters should not 

file proprietary or confidential business 

information in the docket. Such 

information must be sent or delivered 

directly to the person identified in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this document, and marked as 

proprietary or confidential. If submitting 

information on a disk or CD–ROM, mark 

the outside of the disk or CD–ROM, and 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is proprietary or confidential. 

Under 14 CFR 11.35(b), the FAA is 

aware of proprietary information filed 

with a comment, the agency does not 

place it in the docket. It is held in a 

separate file to which the public does 

not have access, and the FAA places a 

note in the docket that it has received 

it. If the FAA receives a request to 

examine or copy this information, it 

treats it as any other request under the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552). The FAA processes such a request 

under Department of Transportation 

procedures found in 49 CFR part 7. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on November 

30, 2011.

National Oil and Hazardous 

Substances Pollution Contingency 

Plan; National Priorities List: Notice of 

Intent for Deletion of the Palmer Barge 

Line Superfund Site 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing a 

Notice of Intent to Delete the Palmer 

Barge Line (PBL) Superfund Site located 

in Port Arthur, Texas, from the National 

Priorities List (NPL) and requests public 

comments on this proposed action. The 

NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 

105 of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an 

appendix of the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and 

the State of Texas, through the Texas 

Commission on Environmental Quality, 

have determined that all appropriate 

response actions at these identified 

parcels under CERCLA, other than 

operation, maintenance, and Five-Year 

Reviews, have been completed. 

However, this deletion does not 

preclude future actions under 

Superfund.

January 6, 2012.

consider to be CBI or otherwise

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment.

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses.
