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

Sharon, PA. An RNAV Approach,

Helicopter RNAV 262, has been

developed for Shenango-UMPC Horizon

Hospital Heliport, Sharon, PA.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet AGL is needed to

accommodate the SIAP. 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.

Proposed Approval and Promulgation

of Implementation Plans; Texas; Lawn

Service Equipment Operating

Restrictions; and Requirements for

Motor Vehicle Idling for the Houston/

Galveston (HG) Ozone Nonattainment

Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

revisions to the Texas State

Implementation Plan. This proposal

covers two separate actions. We are

proposing approval of: A rule that

would implement an operating-use

restriction program requiring that the

handheld and non-handheld sparkignition engines, rated at 25 hp and

below, be restricted from use by

commercial operators between the hours

of 6:00 a.m. and noon, April 1 through

October 31, in the counties Brazoria,

Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, and

Montgomery; and, a rule to implement

idling limits for gasoline and dieselpowered engines in heavy-duty motor

vehicles in the HG area counties of

Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend,

Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery,

and Waller. These new rules will

contribute to attainment of the National

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)

for ozone standard in the HG area. The

EPA is proposing approval of these

revisions to the Texas SIP to regulate

emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and

volatile organic compounds (VOC) in

accordance with the requirements of the

Federal Clean Air Act (the Act).

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before July 11, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to Mr. Thomas H. Diggs,

Chief, Air Planning Section (6PD–L), at

the EPA Region 6 Office listed below.

Copies of documents relevant to this

action are available for public

inspection during normal business

hours at the following locations.

Anyone wanting to examine these

documents should make an

appointment with the appropriate office

at least two working days in advance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’

and ‘‘our’’ refers to EPA.

This document concerns Control of

Air Pollution of NOX and VOCs for onroad and non-road equipment and

vehicle sources in the HG area and the

control measures for attainment

demonstration purposes. For further

information, please see the Technical

Support Document (TSD) prepared for

this action.

What Action Are We Taking Today?

On December 20, 2000, the Governor

of Texas submitted to EPA these two

rule revisions (an operating-use

restriction program for handheld and

non-handheld spark-ignition engines,

rated at 25 hp and below, used by

commercial operators; and, idling limits

for gasoline and diesel-powered engines

in heavy-duty motor vehicles) to the 30

TAC, Chapter 114, ‘‘Control of Air

Pollution From Motor Vehicles,’’ as a

revision to the SIP.

These new rules will contribute to

attainment of the ozone standard in the

HG area. The EPA is proposing to
