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 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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

section 106 describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in subtitle VII, part A, subpart 

I, section 40103. Under that section, the 

FAA is charged with prescribing 

regulations to assign the use of airspace 

necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft 

and the efficient use of airspace. This 

regulation is within the scope of that 

authority as it would modify controlled 

airspace at Williams County Airport 

Airport, Bryan, OH.

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), Part 71 by amending Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700

feet above the surface to accommodate 

new standard instrument approach 

procedures at Evansville Regional 

Airport, Evansville, IN. Controlled 

airspace is needed for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010 and 

effective September 15, 2010, 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. It, 

therefore, (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 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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1,

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

amend controlled airspace at Evansville

Procedures for Implementing the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA) hereby 

gives notice that it is proposing revised 

policy and procedures for implementing 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969 (NEPA) and the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR). This 

proposed rule would replace procedures 

contained in NASA’s current regulation, 

Procedures for Implementing the 

National Environmental Policy Act. The 

revision is necessary to clarify and 

update the current regulation. Since the 

previous major update of NASA’s NEPA 

regulation in 1988, a number of 

Executive Orders have streamlined the 

Federal Government through 

decentralization, reduction and 

simplification of regulations, and 

management of risk. This proposed rule 

strives to meet the spirit of these 

Executive Orders, which are included in 

the section entitled Procedural 

Requirements herein. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

September 19, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Comments can be submitted 

by one of the following methods: 

1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments 

electronically. Comments may be 

entered directly on the Web site. 

Electronic files may be submitted to this 

Web site. 

2. Mail comments to: NASA 

Rulemaking Comments, Environmental 

Management Division, Suite 5B11, 300 

E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20546. 

Because security screening may delay 

mail sent through the U.S. Postal 

Service, NASA encourages electronic 

submittal of comments. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general information about NASA’s 

NEPA process, readers are directed to 

the NASA NEPA Portal and NEPA 

Library at http://www.nasa.gov/green/

Tina Borghild Norwood, NASA NEPA 

Manager, at (202) 358–7324, or via 

e-mail at Tina.Norwood-1@nasa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments: Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment, including your personal 

identifying information, may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Background 

This proposed rule revises policies 

and responsibilities for assessing the 

effects of NASA’s actions in accordance 

with NEPA (revising the current 

regulation at 14 CFR 1216.3). The last 

major revision of this regulation was
