Docket No. 12–ANM–9] 

Proposed Amendment of Class D and 

E Airspace; Lewiston, ID 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify Class E airspace at Lewiston-Nez 

Perce County Airport, Lewiston, ID. 

Controlled airspace is necessary to 

accommodate aircraft using Area 

Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 

System (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at Lewiston-Nez 

Perce County Airport, Lewiston, ID. The 

geographic coordinates of the airport 

and navigation aids also would be 

adjusted in the respective Class D and 

Class E airspace areas. The FAA is 

proposing this action to enhance the 

safety and management of aircraft 

operations at Lewiston-Nez Perce 

County Airport, Lewiston, ID. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 19, 2012.

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Lewiston-Nez 

Perce County Airport, Lewiston, ID, to 

accommodate aircraft using RNAV 

(GPS) standard instrument approach 

procedures at the airport. Also, the 

geographic coordinates of the airport, 

the Nez Perce VOR/DME, and the 

Lewiston-Nez Perce ILS Localizer 

navigation aids, would be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database for the respective Class D 

airspace and Class E airspace areas. This 

action would enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at 

Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport, 

Lewiston, ID. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, 

6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA 

Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, 

and effective September 15, 2011, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

Part 71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in this 

Order. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority for 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
32922 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 107 / Monday, June 4, 2012 / Proposed Rules 

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 the 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 

modify controlled airspace at LewistonNez Perce County Airport, Lewiston, ID. 

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.

[FWS–R8–ES–2012–0026; 92220–1113–

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; 90-Day Finding on a 

Petition To Delist or Reclassify From 

Endangered to Threatened Six 

California Species 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of 90-day petition 

findings and initiation of status reviews. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 

90-day finding on a petition to delist the 

Inyo California towhee (Pipilo crissalis 

eremophilus), and to reclassify from 

endangered to threatened the arroyo 

toad (Anaxyrus californicus), Indian 

Knob mountainbalm (Eriodictyon 

altissimum), Lane Mountain milk-vetch 

(Astragalus jaegerianus), Modoc sucker 

(Catostomus microps), and Santa Cruz 

cypress (Cupressus abramsiana) under 

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). Based on our review, we 

find that the petition presents 

substantial scientific or commercial 

information indicating that the 

petitioned actions may be warranted. 

Therefore, with the publication of this 

notice, we are initiating status reviews 

of these taxa to determine if the 

respective actions of delisting and 

reclassifying are warranted. Section 

4(c)(2)(A) of the Act also requires a 

status review of listed species at least 

once every 5 years. The status reviews 

we are initiating will also fulfill the 

requirements of section 4(c)(2) of the 

Act. To ensure that these status reviews 

are comprehensive, we are requesting 

scientific and commercial data and 

other information regarding these 

species and subspecies. Based on these 

status reviews, we will issue 12-month 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
