Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 24, 2008 / Proposed Rules 54989 

Background and Purpose 

Section 7101 of the FCEA recently 

established a new group of cooperating 

educational institutions known as the 

Hispanic-serving Agricultural Colleges 

and Universities (HSACUs). Section 

1404 of the National Agricultural 

Research, Extension, and Teaching 

Policy Act of 1977 (‘‘NARETPA’’) (7 

U.S.C. 3103) defines HSACUs as 

colleges or universities that qualify as 

Hispanic-serving institutions (as defined 

in section 502 of the Higher Education 

Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1101a) and that 

offer associate, bachelors, or other 

accredited degree programs in 

agriculture-related fields. HSACUs do 

not include 1862 institutions (as defined 

in section 2 of the Agricultural 

Research, Extension, and Education 

Reform Act of 1998 (7 U.S.C. 7601). 

The FCEA amends section 406(b) of 

the Agricultural Research, Extension, 

and Education Reform Act of 1998 (7 

U.S.C. 7626(b)) by expanding the 

eligibility for the CSREES Integrated 

Research, Education, and Extension 

Competitive Grants Programs to include 

HSACUs. 

In addition, section 7129 of the FCEA 

authorizes the following five new 

programs for HSACUs: The HSACU 

Endowment Fund, the HSACU Equity 

Grants Program, the HSACU 

Institutional Capacity-Building Grants 

Program, the HSACU Fundamental and 

Applied Research Grants Program, and 

the HSACU Extension Grants Program. 

The first four programs are authorized 

in section 1456 of NARETPA (7 U.S.C. 

3243), and the fifth program is 

authorized in section 3(b)(4) of the 

Smith-Lever Act (7 U.S.C. 343(b)(4)). 

CSREES is requesting stakeholder 

input in the identification and 

certification of institutions as HSACUs 

and on the implementation of the five 

new HSACU programs. 

Implementation Plans 

CSREES plans to consider stakeholder 

input received from this public meeting, 

as well as other written comments, in 

developing an implementing regulation 

for the identification and certification of 

institutions as HSACUs by Spring 2009; 

with a separate implementing regulation 

for the new HSACU programs to follow. 

Done at Washington, DC, this 19th day of 

September, 2008.

Proposed Establishment of Class D

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

establish Class D airspace and Class E 

Surface Area airspace at Grayling Army 

Airfield, Grayling, MI. The 

establishment of an air traffic control 

tower has made these actions necessary 

for the safety of Instrument Flight Rule 

(IFR) operations at Grayling Army 

Airfield. Class D airspace will revert to 

a Class E2 Surface Area during periods 

when the control tower is not operating. 

DATES: 0901 UTC. Comments must be 

received on or before November 10, 

2008.

NPRM’s should contact the FAA’s

11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

Distribution System, which describes 

the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), Part 71 by establishing a Class D 

airspace area and Class E Surface Area 

for IFR operations at Grayling Army 

Airfield, Grayling, MI. The Class D 

airspace will revert to a Class E Surface 

Area during those periods when the 

control tower is not operating. These 

areas would be depicted on appropriate 

aeronautical charts. 

Class D airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 

7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and 

effective September 15, 2007, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Class E Surface Areas are published in 

Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9R, 

dated August 15, 2007, and effective 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with PROPOSALS
54990 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 24, 2008 / Proposed Rules 

September 15, 2007, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E Surface Area 

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. 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 rule, 

when promulgated, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. The FAA’s authority to 

issue rules regarding aviation safety is 

found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. 

Subtitle 1, 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 

establish controlled airspace at Grayling 

Army Airfield, Grayling, MI.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, pursuant to the
