The Proposal

The FAA in considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

establish Class E airspace at

Guntersville, AL. A GPS–A SIAP has

been developed for Guntersville

Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet AGL is

needed to accommodate this SIAP and

for IFR operations at Guntersville

Municipal Airport. The operating status

of the airport will change from VFR to

include IFR operations concurrent with

publication of this SIAP. Class E

airspace designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface are published in

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9D,

dated September 4, 1996, and effective

September 16, 1996, 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 Proposed Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration

ACTION: Proposed rule.
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 177 / Friday, September 12, 1997 / Proposed Rules 48027

SUMMARY: On February 21, 1997 the

Ohio Environmental Protection Agency

(Ohio EPA) submitted a State

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision

request to USEPA which consisted of a

number of rules and rule paragraphs

formerly contained in the Ohio

Administrative Code (OAC) which had

been incorporated in the Ohio SIP but

which had been amended or removed

from the OAC by the State. The State

requested that these rules and rule

paragraphs be removed from the Ohio

SIP since they are no longer part of the

OAC. The USEPA is proposing to

approve the State’s request. In the final

rules section of this Federal Register,

the USEPA is approving the State’s

request as a direct final rule without

prior proposal because USEPA views

this action as noncontroversial and

anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for approving the

State’s request is set forth in the direct

final rule. If no adverse written

comments are received in response to

that direct final rule, no further activity

is contemplated in relation to this

proposed rule. If USEPA receives

substantive adverse written comments

which have not already been responded

to, the direct final rule will be

withdrawn and all such public

comments received will be addressed in

a subsequent final rule based on the

proposed rule. USEPA will not institute

a second comment period on this action.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments on this

proposed rule must be received on or

before October 14, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be

mailed to J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief,

Regulation Development Section, Air

Programs Branch (AR–18J), Region 5 at

the address listed below. Copies of the

materials submitted by the Ohio EPA

may be examined during normal

business hours at the following

Approval And Promulgation Of

Implementation Plans; Georgia:

Approval of Revisions to the Georgia

State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed conditional interim

approval.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes a

conditional interim approval of the

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

submitted by the State of Georgia

through the Georgia Environmental

Protection Division (EPD) on November

15, 1993, and amended on June 17,

1996, which included the 15% Rate-ofProgress Plan (15% plan). This

submittal was made to meet the 15%

plan requirements of section

182(b)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act, as

amended in 1990 (CAA). The EPA is

proposing a conditional interim

approval because achievement of the

15% reduction in emission of volatile

organic compounds (VOCs) is

dependent upon full implementation of

the enhanced inspection and

maintenance (I/M) plan and the

conditions pertaining to the

implementation of a low Reid Vapor

Pressure (RVP) program of 7.0. Full

approval of the 15% plan will be

granted upon full approval of the I/M

plan and the conditional approval of the

low RVP program. The final interim

approval of the I/M plan was published

in the Federal Register on August 11,

1997 (see 62 FR 42916). Full approval

of the individual measures that

comprise the 15% plan except for I/M

and the low RVP program is also being

proposed in this document.

Additionally, the EPA is proposing

full approval of Georgia’s 1990 Baseline

Inventory. The inventory was submitted

by the State to fulfill requirements of

section 182(b) of the CAA.

DATES: Comments on this proposed

conditional interim action must be

received in writing by October 14, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to Scott M.

Martin, 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

interested persons wanting to examine

these documents should make an

appointment with the appropriate office

at least 24 hours before the visiting day.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Atlanta area was classified as

serious ozone nonattainment on

November 6, 1991. The nonattainment

area consists of the following thirteen

counties: Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb,

Coweta, Dekalb, Douglas, Fayette,

Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnet, Henry,

Paulding, and Rockdale.

Section 182(b) of the CAA requires

that each state in which all or part of a

serious nonattainment area is located

submit, by November 15, 1992, an

inventory of actual emissions from all

sources, as described in section

172(c)(3) and 182(a)(1), in accordance

with guidance provided by the

Administrator. This inventory is for

calendar year 1990 and is designated the

baseline year inventory. The inventory

should include both anthropogenic and

biogenic sources of volatile organic

compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides

(NOX), and carbon monoxide (CO), and

must address actual emissions of these

pollutants in the nonattainment area

during the peak ozone season. The

inventory should include all point and

area sources, as well as all highway and

non-highway mobile sources.

In addition, section 182(b)(1)(A) of the

CAA requires ozone nonattainment

areas classified as moderate and above

to develop plans to reduce VOC

emissions by 15 percent from the 1990

baseline. The plans were to be

submitted by November 15, 1993, and

the reductions were required to be

achieved within six years of enactment

or November 15, 1996. The CAA also set
