Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 176 / Thursday, September 11, 1997 / Proposed Rules 47783

Airspace Management, in areas outside

U.S. domestic airspace is governed by

the Convention on International Civil

Aviation. Specifically, the FAA is

governed by Article 12 and Annex 11,

which pertain to the establishment of

necessary air navigational facilities and

services to promote the safe, orderly,

and expeditious flow of civil air traffic.

The purpose of the document is to

ensure that civil aircraft operations on

international air routes are performed

under uniform conditions.

The International Standards and

Recommended Practices in Annex 11

apply to airspace under the jurisdiction

of a contracting state, derived from

ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when

air traffic services are provided and a

contracting state accepts the

responsibility of providing air traffic

services over high seas or in airspace of

undetermined sovereignty. A

contracting state accepting this

responsibility may apply the

International Standards and

Recommended Practices that are

consistent with standards and practices

utilized in its domestic jurisdiction.

In accordance with Article 3 of the

Convention, state owned aircraft are

exempt from the Standards and

Recommended Practices of Annex 11.

The United States is a contracting state

to the Convention. Article 3(d) of the

Convention provides that participating

state aircraft will be operated in

international airspace with due regard

for the safety of civil aircraft.

Since this action involves, in part, the

designation of navigable airspace

outside the United States, the

Administrator is consulting with the

Secretary of State and the Secretary of

Defense in accordance with the

provisions of Executive Order 10854.

[SC 31–1–9646b: FRL–5875–1]

Approval and Promulgation of State

Implementation Plan, South Carolina:

Listing of Exempt Volatile Organic

Compounds

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: On May 6, 1996, the South

Carolina Department of Health and

Environmental Control submitted

revisions to the South Carolina State

Implementation Plan (SIP) involving the

addition of several compounds to the

list of compounds exempt from

regulation as Volatile Organic

Compounds (VOC). In the final rules

section of this Federal Register, the EPA

is approving the revision as a direct

final rule without prior proposal

because the EPA views this as a

noncontroversial revision amendment

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 that direct final rule, no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this proposed rule. 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. The EPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this document. Any parties

interested in commenting on this

document should do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments

must be received by October 14, 1997.

ADDRESSEES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to Mr.

Randy Terry at the EPA Regional Office

listed below.

Copies of the documents relative to

this action are available for public

inspection during normal business

hours at the following locations. The

SUMMARY: The United States

Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.

EPA) Region V announces its intent to

delete the Northern Engraving

Corporation Site (the Site) from the

National Priorities List (NPL) and

requests public comment on this action.

The NPL constitutes Appendix B of 40

EPA promulgated pursuant to section

105 of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980

being taken by U.S. EPA, because it has

been determined that all responses

under CERCLA have been implemented

by the responsible party and U.S. EPA,

in consultation with the State of

Wisconsin, has determined that no

further response is appropriate.

Moreover, U.S. EPA and the State have

determined that remedial activities

conducted at the Site to date have been

protective of public health, welfare, and

the environment.

DATES: Comments concerning the

proposed deletion of the Site from the

NPL may be submitted on or before

October 14, 1997.
