The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

provide additional controlled airspace

for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

procedures at the Nebraska City

Municipal Airport. The additional

airspace would segregate aircraft

operating under VFR conditions from

aircraft operating under IFR procedures.

The area would be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts thereby

enabling pilots to circumnavigate the

area or otherwise comply with IFR

procedures. 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 7400.9B, dated July 18, 1994, and

effective September 16, 1994, 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 16, 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.

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me, the Federal

Aviation Administration proposes to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) as follows:

PART 71—[AMENDED]

1. The authority citation for part 71

continues to read as follows:

§ 71.1 [Amended]

2. The incorporation by reference in

14 CFR 71.1 of Federal Aviation

Administration Order 7400.9B, Airspace

Designations and Reporting Points,

dated July 18, 1994, and effective

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards

and Technology, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The purpose of the proposed

rule would be to provide for the

introduction of effective training, tools,

practices, techniques and analyses, and

information systems into the national

manufacturing extension system and to

codify the process by which NIST will

solicit and select applications for

cooperative agreements and financial

assistance on projects for providing

improved training, tools, practices,

techniques and analyses, and

information systems to the national

manufacturing extension system. The

intended effect is to increase the

effectiveness of the extension system by

providing improved infrastructure

capability to promote the

competitiveness of smaller U.S.

manufacturers.

DATES: Comments on the proposed

program must be received no later than

June 14, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

purpose of the National Institute of

Standards and Technology

Manufacturing Extension Partnership is

to promote the competitiveness of

smaller U.S. manufacturers. This is

done primarily through technical

assistance provided by a network of

nonprofit manufacturing extension

centers. The purpose of this rule is to

provide for the development of

infrastructure capability to effectively

support the national manufacturing

extension system and to codify the

process by which NIST will solicit and

select applications for financial

assistance, typically for cooperative

agreements, on projects which have the

benefit of enhancing the ability of the

extension system to promote the

competitiveness of smaller U.S.

manufacturers. Proposals from qualified

organizations will periodically be

solicited for projects which accomplish

any one of the following objectives:

Development and Deployment of Training:

To support the delivery of effective technical

assistance to smaller manufacturers by

trained service delivery personnel at the

manufacturing extension centers. Specific

categories of training and mechanisms of

deployment may be specified in solicitations.

Development of Technical Assistance

Tools, Practices, Techniques, and Analyses:

To support the initial development,

implementation, and analysis of tools,

techniques, or practices which will aid

manufacturing extension organizations in

providing effective services to smaller

manufacturers. Specific categories of tools,

techniques, practices, or types of analysis

may be specified in solicitations.

Information Infrastructure: To support and

act as a catalyst for the development and

implementation of information infrastructure

services and pilots which will aid

manufacturing extension organizations and

smaller manufacturers in accessing the

technical information they need or will

accelerate the rate of adoption of electronic

commerce. Specific industry sectors or

subcategories of information infrastructure

projects may be specified in solicitations.

In general, eligible applicants for

these projects include all for profit and

nonprofit organizations including

private companies, universities,

community colleges, state governments,

state technology programs, and

independent nonprofit organizations.

However, specific limitations on

eligibility may be specified in

solicitations.

Announcements of solicitations will

be made in the Commerce Business

Daily.

In accordance with the provisions of

the National Institute of Standards and

Technology Act (15 U.S.C. 272(b)(1) and

(c)(3) and 2781), as amended, NIST will

provide assistance to the national

manufacturing extension system. Under

the NIST Manufacturing Extension

Partnership (MEP), NIST will

periodically make merit-based awards to

develop and deploy infrastructure

improvements into extension centers

and to other organizations for the

development and deployment of

training, tools and techniques, and

information infrastructure. MEP

assumes a broad definition of

manufacturing, and recognizes a wide

range of technology and concepts,

including durable goods production;

chemical, biotechnology, and other

materials processing; electronic

component and system fabrication; and

engineering services associated with

manufacturing, as lying within the

definition of manufacturing.

Classification

This notice relating to public

property, loans, grants, benefits, or

contracts is exempt from all

requirements of section 553 of the

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.

553(a)(2)) including notice and

opportunity for comment. Therefore, a

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is not

required and was not prepared for this

notice for purposes of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 603 and 604).

The program is not a major Federal

action requiring an environmental

assessment under the National

Environmental Policy Act. This notice

does not contain policies with

Federalism implications sufficient to

warrant preparation of a Federalism

assessment under Executive Order

12612. This notice contains collection of

information requirements subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act which have

been approved by the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB Control

Numbers 0693–0010, 0348–0043 and

0348–0044). Public reporting burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 40 hours per

response, including the time for

reviewing instructions, searching

existing data sources, gathering the data

needed, and completing and reviewing

the collection of information. Send

comments regarding this burden

estimate or any other aspect of this

collection of information, including

suggestions for reducing this burden, to

the address shown above; and to the

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and

Budget, Washington, DC 20503.

It has been determined that this rule

is not significant for purposes of EO

12866.
