Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 11, 2000 / Proposed Rules 60385

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For

additional information see the Direct

Final Rule published in the final rules

section of this Federal Register.

Procedural Background

Because NRC considers this action

noncontroversial and routine, we are

publishing this proposed rule

concurrently with a direct final rule.

The direct final rule will become

effective on December 26, 2000.

However, if the NRC receives significant

adverse comments on the direct final

rule by November 13, 2000, then the

NRC will publish a document to

withdraw the direct final rule. If the

direct final rule is withdrawn, the NRC

will address the comments received in

response to the revisions in a

subsequent final rule. Absent significant

modifications to the proposed revisions

requiring republication, the NRC will

not initiate a second comment period

for this action if the direct final rule is

withdrawn.

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00–AAL–07]

Proposed Revision of VOR Federal

Airway and Jet Route; AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This action proposes to revise

Very High Frequency Omnidirectional

Range (VOR) Federal Airway 480 (V–

480) and Jet Route 120 (J–120) in Alaska

by adding a routinely used route

segment between Mt. Moffett and St.

Paul Island, AK. The FAA is proposing

to revise these routes for the following

reasons: The conversion of this

uncharted nonregulatory route to a VOR

Federal airway and jet route would add

to the instrument flight rules (IFR)

airway and route infrastructure in

Alaska; pilots would be provided with

minimum en route altitudes and

minimum obstruction clearance

altitudes information; this amendment

would establish controlled airspace,

thus eliminating some of the

commercial IFR operations in

uncontrolled airspace; and the addition

of this route would improve the

management of air traffic operations and

thereby enhance safety.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before November 27, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to: Manager, Air

Traffic Division, AAL–500, Docket No.

00-AAL–07, Federal Aviation

Administration, 222 West 7th Avenue,

#14, Anchorage, AK 99533.

The official docket may be examined

in the Rules Docket, Office of the Chief

Counsel, Room 916, 800 Independence

Avenue, SW., Washington, DC,

weekdays, except Federal holidays,

between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

An informal docket may also be

examined during normal business hours

at the office of the Regional Air Traffic

Division.

No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking Distribution System, which

describes the application procedure.

The Proposal

The FAA is proposing an amendment

to 14 CFR part 71 (part 71) to revise V–

480 and J–120 in Alaska. This proposed

revision would convert an uncharted

nonregulatory route segment to a VOR

Federal airway and jet route by adding

a segment to V–480 and J–120 between

Mt. Moffett and St. Paul Island, AD.

Presently, this segment is an uncharted

route that is used by air carrier and

general aviation aircraft. The FAA is

proposing to amend V–480 and J–120

for the following reasons: (1) The

conversion of this uncharted

nonregulatory route to a VOR Federal

airway and jet route would add to the

IFR airway and route infrastructure in

Alaska; (2) pilots would be provided

with minimum en route altitudes and

minimum obstruction clearance

altitudes information; (3) this

amendment would establish controlled

airspace, thus eliminating some of the

commercial IFR operations in

uncontrolled airspace; and (4) the

addition of this route would improve

the management of air traffic operations

and thereby enhance safety.

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 will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed 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.

Jet routes and Alaskan VOR Federal

airways are published in paragraphs

2004 and 6010(b), respectively, of FAA

Order 7400.9H dated September 1, 2000,

and effective September 16, 2000, which

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Jet route and the Alaskan VOR

Federal airway listed in this document

would be published subsequently in the

order.

Clean Air Act Promulgation of

Extension of Attainment Date for the

San Diego, California Serious Ozone

Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to extend

the attainment date for the San Diego

serious ozone nonattainment area from

November 15, 1999 to November 15,

2000. This extension is based in part on

monitored air quality readings for the 1-

hour national ambient air quality

standard (NAAQS) for ozone during

1999. In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, we are approving the

State’s request as a ‘‘direct final’’ rule

without prior proposal because we view

this action as noncontroversial and

anticipate 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 we

receive substantive adverse comments

which have not already been responded

to, the direct final rule will be

withdrawn and all public comments

received will be addressed in a

subsequent final rule based on the

proposed rule. We will not institute a
