The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR Part 71 to amend

the Class E airspace area at Allentown,

PA. A GPS RWY 7 SIAP has been

developed for the Allentown Queen City

Airport. Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet AGL is

needed to accommodate the SIAP and

for IFR operations at the airport. 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 7400.9E,

dated September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, 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.

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 would only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule

would not have significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

Approval and Promulgation:

Pennsylvania

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to

correct an interim final rule, which was

published on January 28, 1997,

regarding EPA conditional approval of

Pennsylvania’s enhanced inspection

and maintenance (I/M) program. This

action pertains to the consequences in

the event that the Pennsylvania

enhanced I/M program failed to

commence per the deadlines set forth in

EPA’s interim final rule. EPA is taking

this action for the purposes of

consistency with rulemaking actions

EPA has since taken on other states’

inspection and maintenance programs.

In the Final Rules section of this

Federal Register, EPA is making this

correction to the Commonwealth’s

January 28, 1996 conditional SIP

approval by issuing a direct final rule

without prior proposal because the

Agency views this correction as a

noncontroversial SIP revision. Thus,

EPA anticipates no adverse comments.

A detailed explanation of this correction

is set forth in the direct final rule. If no

adverse comments are received in

response to this proposed rule, no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this 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. EPA 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: Comments must be received in

writing by December 8, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to David L.

Regulation of Fuels and Fuel

Additives: Proposed Minor Revisions

to Selected Recordkeeping and

Enforcement Provisions Under the

Regulation of Deposit Control Gasoline

Additives

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to revise

certain requirements in its program for

the use of detergent additives in

gasoline. Under the current regulations,

information on the oxygenate content of

the gasoline must always be included in

the required product transfer

documents. To avoid unnecessary

disruption to the gasoline distribution

system, EPA is proposing to remove this

requirement. A party who wants to use

a detergent additive that is restricted in

use with respect to oxygenates would be

responsible for determining the

oxygenate content of the gasoline

involved. This proposal would continue

to ensure that detergents with oxygenate

restrictions are used in compliance with

such restrictions, and would avoid the

unnecessary disruption to the gasoline

distribution system which would occur

under the current regulations. For

certain transfers of base gasoline, EPA is

also proposing to allow the use of

product codes in lieu of regulatory

warning language concerning applicable
