Public Workshop on Risk-Informed

Regulation—Option 2

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of workshop.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) will host a public

workshop to provide an opportunity for

discussion of topics raised from the

advanced notice of proposed

rulemaking on this subject, of the

Nuclear Energy Institute’s (NEI)

guidelines for this issue, and possible

alternative approaches to Option 2 in

risk-informed regulations. The

workshop is open to the public.

DATES: The workshop will be held on

Wednesday, February 21, 2001 from

1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Thursday,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This workshop will provide an

opportunity to discuss topics related to

Option 2 in risk-informed regulations,

as discussed in NRC documents SECY–

99–256 and SECY–00–0194. The NRC is

developing a rulemaking (referred to as

Option 2) to revise, using a riskinformed categorization approach, the

scope of structures, systems and

components (SSC) that are subject to

special treatment requirements. Such

requirements include quality assurance,

testing, qualification and other measures

to provide a high degree of assurance

that SSC will remain functional.

Based upon the comments received in

response to the ANPR, other discussions

with stakeholders, and staff views, the

following presents the preliminary

agenda and set of discussion topics. The

discussion topics are tentative and

subject to change. Anyone interested in

providing a presentation on these or

other related topic(s), please contact Joe

Golla at (301) 415–1002.

[Airspace Docket No. 00–AEA–15]

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Seneca Falls, NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration [FAA], DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

establish Class E airspace at Seneca

Falls, NY. An Area Navigation (RNAV)

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) has been developed

for Finger Lakes Regional Airport (0G7),

Seneca Falls, NY. Controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet Above

Ground Level (AGL) is needed to

contain aircraft executing the approach.

This action proposes to establish Class

E airspace to Finger Lakes Regional

Airport to contain aircraft executing the

approach. The area would be depicted

on aeronautical charts for pilot

reference.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Comments must be

received on or before February 16, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to: Manager,

Airspace Branch, AEA–520, Docket No.

Interested parties are invited to

participate in this proposed rulemaking

by submitting such written data, views,

or arguments as they may desire.

Comments that provide the factual basis

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2001 / Proposed Rules 3887

supporting the views and suggestions

presented are particularly helpful in

developing reasoned regulatory

decisions on the proposal. Comments

are specifically invited on the overall

regulatory, economic, environmental,

and energy-related aspects of the

proposal. Communications should

identify the airspace docket number and

be submitted in triplicate to the address

listed above. Commenters wishing the

FAA to acknowledge receipt of their

comments on this notice must submit

with those comments a self-addressed,

stamped postcard on which the

following statement is made:

‘‘Comments to Airspace Docket No. 00–

AEA–15’’. The postcard will be date/

time stamped and returned to the

commenter. All communications

received on or before the closing date

for comments will be considered before

taking action on the proposed rule. The

proposal contained in this notice may

be changed in light of comments

received. All comments submitted will

be available for examination in the

Rules Docket both before and after the

closing date for comments. A report

summarizing each substantive public

contact with the FAA personnel

concerned with this rulemaking will be

filed in the docket.

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, 1 Aviation Plaza,

Jamaica, NY, 11434–4809.

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 Part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to

establish Class E airspace area at Seneca

Falls, NY. An Area Navigation SIAP has

been developed for Finger Lakes

Regional Airport, Seneca Falls, NY.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet AGL is needed to

accommodate the approach. 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 7400.9H,

dated September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

Airspace, Incorporation by reference,

Navigation (air).

The Proposed Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration

proposes to amend 14 CFR Part 71 as

follows:

PART 71—[AMENDED]

1. The authority citation for 14 CFR

Part 71 continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40103, 40113,

40120; EO 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959–

1963 Comp., p. 389.

§ 71.1 [Amended]

2. The incorporation by reference in

14 CFR 71.1 of Federal Aviation

Administration order 7400.9F dated

September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, is proposed to be

amended as follows:

Paragraph 6005 Class E airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth.

AEA NY E5, Seneca Falls, NY

Finger Lakes Regional Airport

(Lat. 4252.643 N-long 07646.885W)

of Finger Lakes Regional Airport.

Proposed Modification of Class E

Airspace; Molokai, HI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

modify the Class E airspace area at

Molokai, HI. The development of an

Area Navigation (RNAV) Global

Positioning System (GPS)–B Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to Kaunakakai/Molokai Airport has

made this proposal necessary.

Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface is needed to contain aircraft

executing the RNAV (GPS)–B SIAP to

Kaunakakai/Molokai Airport. The

intended effect of this proposal is to

provide adequate controlled airspace for

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

at Kaunakakai/Molokai Airport,

Kaunakakai, HI.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before February 23, 2001.
