SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

October 22, 1997, the Secretary

determined, based on the best

information currently available, that it

appears energy conservation standards

for electric distribution transformers

would be technologically feasible and

economically justified, and would result

in a significant energy savings. This

determination initiated the process of

establishing, by notice and comment

rulemaking, test procedures and energy

conservation standards for this product.

Today’s notice and the subject

Framework Document and workshop

mark the initial steps in the process for

considering the energy conservation

standards.

The Department has prepared the

Framework Document to explain and

discuss the process, analyses, and issues

concerning the development of such

standards. For many of the issues and

analyses, the Framework Document sets

forth approaches that the Department is

considering.

The main focus of the workshop will

be to discuss the analyses and issues

contained in Sections 3 and 4 of the

Framework Document. For each item

listed, the Department will make a

presentation with a discussion to

follow. In addition, the Department will

also make a brief presentation on the

rulemaking process for distribution

transformers contained in Section 2.

The Department encourages those who

wish to participate in the workshop to

obtain the Framework Document and be

prepared to discuss the contents.

However, workshop participants need

not limit their discussions to these

topics. The Department is also

interested in receiving views concerning

other issues that participants believe

would affect energy conservation

standards for distribution transformers.

The Department also welcomes all

interested parties, whether or not they

participate in the workshop, to submit

in writing by December 1, 2000,

comments and information on the

matters addressed in the Framework

Document and on other matters relevant

to consideration of standards for

distribution transformers.

The workshop will be conducted in

an informal, conference style. A court

reporter will be present to record the

minutes of the meeting. There shall be

no discussion of proprietary

information, costs or prices, market

shares, or other commercial matters

regulated by antitrust law.

After the workshop and expiration of

the period for submitting written

statements, the Department will begin

collecting data and conducting the

analyses as discussed at the workshop

and in consideration of the comments

received.

If you would like to participate in the

workshop, receive workshop materials,

or be added to the DOE mailing list to

receive future notices and information

regarding distribution transformers,

please contact Ms. Brenda EdwardsJones at (202) 586–2945.

Issued in Washington, DC, on October 2,

2000.

Dan W. Reicher,

Assistant Secretary, Energy Efficiency and

Renewable Energy.

Proposed Modification of Class E

Airspace; Youngstown, OH

developed for Youngstown-Warren

Regional Airport. Controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface is needed to contain aircraft

executing this approach. This action

would increase the width of the

northerly extension and increase the

radius of the existing Class E airspace

for Youngstown, OH.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before November 20, 2000.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify

Class E airspace at Youngstown, OH, by

increasing the width of the northerly

extension and increasing the radius of

the existing Class E airspace for

Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above the surface is

needed to contain aircraft executing

instrument approach procedures. The

area would be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts. Class E airspace

areas extending upward from 700 feet or

more above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 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 Class E designations listed in

this document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

establishment 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 a

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
