The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to

establish Class E airspace at Hartford,

KY. GPS RWY’s 3–21 and a VOR/DME

A SIAP’s have been developed for Ohio

County Airport. As a result, controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL is needed to accommodate the

SIAP’s and for IFR operations at Ohio

County Airport. The operating status of

the airport will change from VFR to

include IFR operations concurrent with

the publication of the SIAP. Class E

airspace designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface republished in

Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E

dated September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, 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 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
34840 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 123 / Friday, June 26, 1998 / Proposed Rules

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

40 CFR Part 62

[OR–2–0001; FRL–6116–4]

Approval and Promulgation of State

Plans for Designated Facilities and

Pollutants: Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

the Section 111(d) State Plan submitted

by Oregon on May 14, 1997. The State

Plan was submitted by Oregon to satisfy

certain Federal Clean Air Act

requirements. In the Final Rules Section

of this Federal Register, the EPA is

approving the State’s Plan submittal as

a direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial submittal and

anticipates that it will not receive any

significant, material, and adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no significant, material, and

adverse comments are received in

response to this proposed rule, no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this proposed rule. If the 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. The EPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this action.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received in writing by July 27,

1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to Catherine Woo,

Environmental Protection Specialist, at

the EPA Regional Office listed below.

Copies of the documents relevant to this

proposed rule are available for public

inspection during normal business

hours at the following locations. The

interested persons wanting to examine

these documents should make an

appointment with the appropriate office

at least 24 hours before the day of the

visit.
