procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 

Class E airspace as an extension to a 

Class C surface area at Nashville, TN, 

providing the controlled airspace 

required to support the new RNAV 

(GPS) standard instrument approach 

procedures for Nashville International 

Airport. Accordingly, a segment of 

controlled airspace would extend from 

the 5-mile radius of the airport to 11.7- 

miles south of the airport, and a 

segment would extend from the 5-mile 

radius of the airport to 8.9 miles 

southwest of the airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6003 of FAA 

order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will 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 

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 United States Code.

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This proposed 

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 proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

would establish Class E airspace at 

Nashville International Airport, 

Nashville, TN. 

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.

Region 6] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Texas; 

Revisions to the New Source Review 

State Implementation Plan; Flexible 

Permit Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to 

conditionally approve revisions to the 

Texas New Source Review (NSR) State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by 

the Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality (TCEQ) 1 and its 

predecessor, the Texas Natural Resource 

Conservation Commission (TNRCC), on 

November 29, 1994; March 13, 1996; 

July 22, 1998; October 25, 1999; 

September 11, 2000; April 12, 2001; July 

31, 2002, September 4, 2002; October 4, 

2002; September 25, 2003; July 2, 2010; 

October 5, 2010; and October 21, 2013. 

These revisions to the Texas SIP 

establish the Flexible Permit Program. 

The flexible permit program is a minor 

NSR permit program which functions as 

an alternative to the traditional 

preconstruction permit program that is 

authorized in Title 30 of the Texas 

Administrative Code (30 TAC) Chapter 

116, Subchapter B. The flexible permit 

program is intended to eliminate the 

need for owners or operators of 

participating facilities to submit an 

amendment application each time 

certain types of operational or physical 

changes are made at a permitted facility. 

EPA is proposing to conditionally 

approve the Flexible Permit Program as 

initially submitted in November 1994 

and amended through the October 21, 

2013, as consistent with federal 

requirements for minor NSR programs. 

Final approval of the Texas Flexible 

Permit Program is contingent upon 

TCEQ adopting and submitting to EPA 

an approvable SIP revision addressing 

the commitments made by the TCEQ in 

its October 21, 2013, Flexible Permits 

Commitment Letter. EPA is proposing 

this action under Section 110 and part 

C of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).
