Availability of NPRMs

Any person may obtain a copy of this

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

by submitting a request to the Office of

the Regional Counsel, AEA–7, F.A.A.

Eastern Region, Federal Building #111,

John F. Kennedy International Airport,

Jamaica, NY 11430. Communications

must identify the notice number of this

NPRM. Persons interested in being

placed on a mailing list for future

NPRMs should also request a copy of

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, which

describes the application procedure.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend

the Class E airspace area at Wilmington,

DE. A GPS RWY 9 SIAP has been

developed for the New Castle County

Airport. Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet AGL is

needed to accommodate the SIAP and

for IFR operations at the airport. Class

E airspace designations for airspace

areas extending upward from 700 feet or

more above the surface 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.

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 would only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule

would not have significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The FAA is considering an

A GPS RWY 3 SIAP has been developed

for the Aeroflex-Andover Airport.

Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet AGL is

needed to accommodate the SIAP and

for IFR operations at the airport. Class

E airspace designations for 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 matter that would only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule

would not have significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Navy

32 CFR Parts 721 and 722

Removal of Rules on Standards of

Conduct and Reporting Procedures on

Defense Related Employment

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Final rule; removal.

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy

(DON) is removing rules for employee

standards of conduct and reporting

procedures for defense-related

employment (32 CFR Parts 721 and

722). Both rules have been superseded,

and in that they no longer have any

effect, are removed immediately.

Providing for a comment period before

final action in this case would be

unnecessary, impracticable, and

contrary to public interest. However,

DON will accept and consider

comments from interested persons in

evaluating the effect of this action.

DATES: Effective Date of Removal:

January 27, 1998.

Comment date: Comments on this

removal action should be submitted in

writing to the address shown below on

or before March 30, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should

submit written comments to Department

of the Navy, Office of the Judge

Advocate General, Administrative Law

Division (Code 13), 200 Stovall Street,

Alexandria, Virginia, 22332–2400.
