Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 124 / Monday, June 29, 1998 / Proposed Rules 35167

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.

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

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.

Approval and Promulgation of State

Implementation Plan; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

an Indiana State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision request, dated July 24,

1997, submitted to EPA to complete

requirements for record keeping and

reporting requirements and other related

requirements for the control of Volatile

Organic Compound (VOC) emissions

from graphic arts sources. In the final

rules section of this Federal Register,

the EPA is approving the State’s request

as a direct final rule without prior

proposal because EPA views this action

as noncontroversial and anticipates no

adverse comments. A detailed rationale

for the State’s request is set forth in the

direct final rule. The direct final rule

will become effective without further

notice unless the EPA receives relevant

adverse written comment on this

proposed rule. Should the EPA receive

such comment, it will publish a final

rule informing the public that the direct

final rule did not take effect and such

public comment received will be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. If no

adverse written comments are received,

the direct final rule will take effect on

the date stated in that document and no

further activity will be taken on this

proposed rule. EPA does not plan to

institute a second comment period on

this action. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time.

DATES: Written comments on this

proposed rule must be received on or

before July 29, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief,

Regulation Development Section, Air

Programs Branch (AR–18J),

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans;

Pennsylvania; Approval of VOC RACT

Determinations for Individual Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the

purpose of establishing volatile organic

compound (VOC) and nitrogen oxides

(NOX) reasonably available control

technology (RACT) for eight (8) major

sources located in Pennsylvania. In the

Final Rules section of this Federal

Register, EPA is approving the

Commonwealth’s SIP revision as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial SIP revision and

anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for the approval is set

forth in the direct final rule and the

accompanying technical support

document. If no adverse comments are

received in response to this proposed

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this rule. 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
35168 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 124 / Monday, June 29, 1998 / Proposed Rules

second comment period on this action.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

If adverse comments are received that

do not pertain to all documents subject

to this rulemaking action, those

documents not affected by the adverse

comments will be finalized in the

manner described here. Only those

Summary of the Public Notice

1. In the Notice of Inquiry (Notice),

the Commission solicits public

comment about the effects of its existing

Title II regulations on experiments

involving advanced telecommunications

technology conducted by firms subject

to these regulations. The inquiry is

based on the Commission’s belief that

experiments involving new technology,

including technical trials and market

trials, are a critical step in the process

of introducing new services that benefit

the public. The Commission seeks to

ensure that its regulation does not

unnecessarily discourage applicants

from conducting experiments involving

new technology and new applications of

existing technology. The Commission

seeks comment on ways in which it may

redesign its regulation in order to

encourage and facilitate such tests.

2. Section 7 of the Communications

Act of 1934, as amended (the

Communications Act or the Act), states

that it is ‘‘the policy of the United States

to encourage the provision of new

technologies and services to the public.’’

More recently, Congress reinforced

section 7 by adding section 706 of the

Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Section 706(a) encourages the

deployment of advanced

telecommunications services by

directing the Commission to ‘‘encourage

the deployment on a reasonable and

timely basis of advanced

telecommunications capability to all

Americans * * * by utilizing, in a

manner consistent with the public

interest, convenience, and necessity,

price cap regulation, regulatory

forbearance, measures that promote

competition in the local

telecommunications market, or other

regulating methods that remove barriers

to infrastructure investment.’’ Pursuant

to these congressional directives, the

Notice seeks public comment about a

broad range of issues relating to the

Commission’s regulation of technology

testing.

3. Pursuant to new section 11,

Congress has required the Commission

to conduct a biennial review of

regulations that apply to operations or

activities of any provider of

telecommunications service and to

repeal or modify any regulation it

determines to be ‘‘no longer necessary

in the public interest.’’ Accordingly, the

Commission has begun a comprehensive

1998 biennial review of

telecommunications and other

regulations to promote ‘‘meaningful

deregulation and streamlining where

competition or other considerations

warrant such action.’’ The Notice is thus

undertaken in conjunction with the

Commission’s 1998 biennial regulatory

review and in it the Commission asks,

inter alia, whether and how the

Commission can apply its section 11

deregulatory and streamlining mandate

to remove or restructure existing

regulations in order to promote

technology testing.

4. Alternatively, the Commission asks

in the Notice whether it should and can
