Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Casper, WY 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify the Class E airspace areas at 

Casper, Natrona County International 

Airport, Casper, WY, to facilitate 

vectoring of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) traffic from en route airspace to 

the airport. Decommissioning of the 

Muddy Mountain VOR Omnidirectional 

Range Tactical Air Navigation 

(VORTAC) has made reconfiguration 

necessary for the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at 

Casper, Natrona County International 

Airport, Casper, WY. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 31, 2012.

Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRM’s should 

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to a 

Class D surface area, and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface due to the 

decommissioning of the Muddy 

Mountain VORTAC at Casper, Natrona 

County International Airport, Casper, 

WY. This action also would amend 

Class E en route domestic airspace 

extending upward from 1,200 feet above 

the surface at the airport by removing 

the exclusionary language in the 

regulatory text. This action would 

enhance the safety and management of 

aircraft operations at the airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraphs, 6004, 6005 

and 6006, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, and 

effective September 15, 2012, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this Order. 

The FAA has determined 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 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 220 / Wednesday, November 14, 2012 / Proposed Rules 67783 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified this proposed rule, when 

promulgated, would 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 for 

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 the 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 Casper, 

Natrona County International Airport, 

Casper, WY. 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

ACTION: Proposed rule, notice of intent 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region 5 is issuing a 

Notice of Intent to Delete the Waste 

Management of Michigan-Holland 

Lagoons Superfund Site (Site) located in 

Ottawa County, Michigan from the 

National Priorities List (NPL) and
