Docket No. 17–AWP–27] 

Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Merced, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Merced Regional/MacReady Field 

(formerly Merced Municipal/MacReady 

Field), Merced, CA, to accommodate 

airspace redesign due to the 

decommissioning of the El Nido VHF 

Omnidirectional Range/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) as 

the FAA transitions from ground-based 

to satellite-based navigation. Also, this 

action would remove Class E airspace 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface and would update the airport 

name to match the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. An editorial change would 

also be made to the Class E surface area 

airspace legal description replacing 

‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’ with the 

term ‘‘Chart Supplement’’. These 

actions are necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This 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 regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

amend Class E airspace at Merced 

Regional/MacReady Field, Merced, CA, 

to accommodate airspace redesign in 

support of IFR operations at the airport. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views, 

or arguments, as they may desire.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 3, 2017, and effective 

September 15, 2017. FAA Order 

7400.11B is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA proposes to amend Title 14 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

part 71 by revising Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Merced Regional/ 

MacReady Field, Merced, CA, to within 

a 6.6-mile radius of the airport (from a 

6.1-mile radius), and removing the 

segment extending southeast of the 

airport (2.6 miles southeast of the El 

Nido VOR/DME) due to the 

decommissioning of the navigation aid. 

Also, the FAA proposes to remove the 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

1,200 feet above the surface because it 

is wholly contained within the 

Sacramento en route airspace area and 

duplication is not needed. 

Additionally, the airport name would 

be updated from Merced Municipal/ 

MacReady Field to Merced Regional/ 

MacReady Field) in the associated Class 

E airspace areas, and an editorial change 

would be made to the Class E surface 

area airspace legal description replacing 

‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’ with the 

term ‘‘Chart Supplement’’. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002, and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11B, 

dated August 3, 2017 and effective 

September 15, 2017, 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. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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, is noncontroversial and unlikely to result in 

adverse or negative comments. 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.

National Priorities List 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(‘‘CERCLA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’), as amended, 

requires that the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (‘‘NCP’’) include a list 

of national priorities among the known 

releases or threatened releases of 

hazardous substances, pollutants or 

contaminants throughout the United 

States. The National Priorities List 

(‘‘NPL’’) constitutes this list. The NPL is 

intended primarily to guide the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’ or ‘‘the agency’’) in determining 

which sites warrant further 

investigation. These further 

investigations will allow the EPA to 

assess the nature and extent of public 

health and environmental risks 

associated with the site and to 

determine what CERCLA-financed 

remedial action(s), if any, may be 

appropriate. This rule proposes to add 

ten sites to the General Superfund 

section of the NPL. 

DATES: Comments regarding any of these 

proposed listings must be submitted 

(postmarked) on or before March 19, 

2018.
