Extension of Comment Period

On June 6, 2000, the FAA published

Amendment No. 187–11, Fees for FAA

Services for Certain Flights (65 FR

36002). The FAA requested that

comments to that document be

submitted on or before October 4, 2000.

On September 29, 2000 the FAA

extended the comment period to

October 27, 2000 (65 FR 59713). This

was done in response to the significance

and international implications of this

IFR, as expressed in the comments, and

because the first billing under the rule

had recently occurred.

On October 18, 2000, the Congress

passed legislation (S. 2412) that directly

affects the issues in this case and which

may cause those members of the public

who have previously provided

comments in this rulemaking to provide

additional comments. This legislation

has been sent to the President for

signature.

Also, in response to the comments,

the FAA has had prepared, and will

soon make available in the docket,

additional accounting and economic

information relevant to the development

of the Overflight fees.

The FAA has determined that an

opportunity to comment on the recently

passed legislation and the additional

information is appropriate for

development of the Final Rule as

required by 49 U.S.C. 45301. Therefore,

the FAA is extending the comment

period an additional 60 days until

December 26, 2000 to allow for an

opportunity for the public to comment

further on this rulemaking.

The FAA determines that extending

the comment period is in the public

interest and that good cause exists for

taking this action. Accordingly, the

comment period for Amendment No.

187–11 is extended until December 26,

2000.

Issued in Washington, DC, October 23,

2000.

Assistant Administrator for Financial

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans;

Connecticut; Enhanced Motor Vehicle

Inspection and Maintenance Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to

approve a State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of

Connecticut pursuant to the Clean Air

Act. This revision establishes and

requires implementation of an enhanced

motor vehicle inspection and

maintenance program. In the Final

Rules Section of this Federal Register,

EPA is approving the State’s SIP

submittal as a direct final rule without

prior proposal because the Agency

views this as a noncontroversial

submittal and anticipates 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 this action rule,

no further activity is contemplated. If

EPA receives relevant 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. Any parties

interested in commenting on this action

should do so at this time. Please note

that if EPA receives adverse comment

on an amendment, paragraph, or section

of this rule and if that provision may be

severed from the remainder of the rule,

EPA may adopt as final those provisions

of the rule that are not the subject of an

adverse comment.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before November 27,

2000.

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans;

Massachusetts; New Source Review

Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revisions submitted by the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts. These

revisions establish and require the

implementation of the 1990 Clean Air

Act Amendments (CAAA) requirements

regarding New Source Review (NSR) in

areas that have not attained the National

Ambient Air Quality Standards

(NAAQS). The intended effect of this

action is to approve Massachusetts

revisions to 310 CMR 7.00 Appendix A,

‘‘Emission Offsets and Nonattainment

Review.’’ In the Final Rules Section of

this Federal Register, EPA is approving

the State’s SIP submittal as a direct final

rule without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

submittal and anticipates 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 this action, no

further activity is contemplated. 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.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

Please note that if EPA receives adverse

comment on an amendment, paragraph,

or section of this rule and if that
