The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal

Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to

amend Class E airspace at McCAll, ID.

This amendment is necessary in order to

fully contain a Global Positioning

System (GPS) and a Non-directional

Radio Beacon (NDB) SIAP within

controlled airspace. The existing Class E

airspace requires modification to fully

incorporate the holding procedures for

the new SIAP’s. The modifications will

add Class E airspace of approximately a

45 mile extension to the west, a 17 mile

extension to the south, and smaller

extensions to the north and east.

The area would be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

Class E airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth are published 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 is a routine matter that will

only affect air traffic procedures and air

navigation, it is certified small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, 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.

[Airspace Docket No. 97–ANM–15]

Proposed Revocation of Class E

Airspace; Blue Mesa, CO; and

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Gunnison, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.
3676 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 16 / Monday, January 26, 1998 / Proposed Rules

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to

revoke the Class E airspace area at Blue

Mesa, CO, and to establish a larger Class

E airspace area in its place which would

be designated the Gunnison, CO, Class

E airspace area. A recent airspace

review disclosed that the Blue Mesa

Class E airspace area is incorrectly

named for a navigational aid rather than

for the airport served by the airspace.

This is contrary to FAA policy. This

proposal would, in effect, rename the

Class E airspace area. This proposal, if

adopted, would also increase the size of

the Class E airspace area. The additional

controlled airspace is necessary to

accommodate a new Global Positioning

System (GPS) standard instrument

approach procedure (SIAP) serving the

Gunnison County Airport, Gunnison,

CO.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before March 12, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal to: Manager, Airspace Branch,

NPRM. Persons interested in being

describes the application procedure.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal

Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to

establish Class E airspace at Gunnison,

CO. This amendment proposes to

remove the existing Blue Mesa, CO,

Class E airspace while establishing a

larger and correctly named Gunnison,

CO, Class E airspace. The establishment

of the Gunnison, CO, airspace would

add a 2 nautical mile 700-foot Class E

area extension to the northeast, and

modify 1200-foot Class E airspace to the

south and the east of the existing Blue

Mesa, CO, airspace. The extensions are

necessary to meet the airspace criteria

for aircraft transitioning between the

terminal and en route environments,

and to fully encompass a new GPS–B

SIAP to the Gunnison County Airport.

The FAA establishes Class E airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

ground level (AGL) where necessary to

contain aircraft transitioning between

the terminal and en route environments.

The intended effect of this proposal is

to provide safe and efficient use of the

navigable airspace and to promote safe

flight operations under IFR at the

Gunnison County Airport, and between

the terminal and en route transition

stages.

The area would be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

Class E airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth are published 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 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 collection of information

contained in this notice of proposed

rulemaking has been submitted to the

Office of Management and Budget for

review in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3507(d)). Comments on the

collection of information should be sent

to the Office of Management and

Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for the

Department of the Treasury, Office of

Information and Regulatory Affairs,

Washington, DC, 20503, with copies to

the Internal Revenue Service, Attn: IRS

Reports Clearance Officer, T:FP,

Washington, DC 20224. Comments on

the collection of information must be

received by March 27, 1998. Comments

are specifically requested on:

Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

Internal Revenue Service, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

The accuracy of the estimated burden

associated with the proposed collection

of information (see below);

How the quality, utility, and clarity of

the information to be collected may be

enhanced;

How the burden of complying with

for-profit institutions.

The burden is reflected in the burden

of Form 1065.

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a collection of information

unless it displays a valid control

number assigned by the Office of

Management and Budget.

Books or records relating to a

collection of information must be

retained as long as their contents may

become material in the administration

of any internal revenue law. Generally,

tax returns and tax return information

are confidential, as required by 26

U.S.C. 6103.

Background

This document contains proposed

amendments to the Income Tax

Regulations (26 CFR Part 1) under

sections 6031 and 6063 of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986 (Code). These

amendments are designed, in part, to

reflect changes made to section 6031 by

section 1141 of TRA, Public Law 105–

34, 111 Stat. 788 (1997). Section 6031

contains rules regarding the filing of

returns of partnership income

(partnership returns).

On January 23, 1986, the IRS

published in the Federal Register (51

FR 3075) proposed regulations under

section 6031 of the Internal Revenue

Code (existing proposed regulations).

Section 1.6031–1 of the existing

proposed regulations provides rules

that, if finalized, would implement the

partnership filing requirements of

section 404 of the Tax Equity and Fiscal

Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA),

Public Law 97–248, 96 Stat. 669 (1982).

Because section 1141 of TRA supersedes

the partnership filing requirements of
