Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71)

by establishing Class E airspace area at

Fallbrook, CA. The development of GPS

SIAP at Fallbrook Community Airpark

has made this proposal necessary. The

intended effect of this proposal is to

provide adequate Class E airspace for

aircraft executing the GPS RWY 18 SIAP

at Fallbrook Community Airpark,

Fallbrook, CA. Class E airspace areas

designated as an extension to a Class D

or Class E surface area are published in

paragraph 6004 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 this 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 10034; 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 proposed rule

would not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

[Docket No. RM96–1–003]

Standards for Business Practices of

Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines

December 18, 1996.

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; Notice of

comment schedule.

SUMMARY: The Commission’s proposed

rule in this proceeding would amend its

open access regulations by

incorporating by reference standards

promulgated by the Gas Industry

Standards Board (GISB). A staff

technical conference was held on

December 12 and 13, 1996, to discuss

the future direction of GISB’s electronic

communication standards and the

possible need for standards in disputed

areas. Comments are requested on issues

considered at that technical conference.

DATES: Comments on issues considered

at the technical conference are due on

or before February 21, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,

Washington, DC 20426.

General Counsel, Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

given that comments on issues

considered at the technical conference

held on December 12 and 13, 1996, are

to be filed by February 21, 1997.

Commenters should address the issues

and questions identified in the Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking 1 as the subjects

for discussion at the technical

conference. Further, commenters should

address the issues identified by staff at

the technical conference, including:

whether it is important for the creation

of an efficient interstate pipeline grid to

have the Commission or GISB develop

standards in the disputed areas; whether

there are policy questions that the

industry, through the Gas Industry

Standards Board, will be unable to

resolve and that the Commission should

resolve to permit further progress in

developing standards in these areas;
