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 establish Class E airspace extending up to and including
700 feet above the surface at Woodruff County Airport, Augusta, AR, to
support special instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at
the airport.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.4-mile radius of
Woodruff County Airport, Augusta, AR, to accommodate new special
instrument approach procedures. Controlled airspace is needed for the
safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial 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 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.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

II. Background EPA is convening a public meeting to receive comments on the Instructions for Reporting for the 2006 Partial Updating of the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory. EPA is required by section 8( b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act ( TSCA) to compile and update an inventory of chemical substances manufactured or imported in the United States. Every 4 years, manufacturers ( including importers) of certain chemical substances on the Chemical Substances Inventory have been required to report data specified in the TSCA section 8( a) Inventory Update Rule ( IUR), 40 CFR part 710. Past updates included information on the chemical's production volume, sitelimited status, and plant site information. Amendments to the IUR promulgated on January 7, 2003 ( 68 FR 848) ( FRL   6767   4) expanded the data reported on certain chemicals to assist EPA and others in screening potential exposures and risks resulting from manufacturing, processing, and use of TSCA chemical substances. At the same time, EPA amended the IUR regulations to increase the production volume threshold which triggers reporting requirements from 10,000 pounds per year to 25,000 pounds per year and established a new higher threshold of 300,000 pounds per year above which manufacturers must report additional information on down stream processing and use of their chemical substances. The 2003 amendments to the IUR also revoked the exemption from reporting for inorganic chemical substances,

BILLING CODE 6560   50   S ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [ FRL   7565   1]

Agency Policy and Guidance: Draft Small Local Governments Compliance Assistance Policy AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency. ACTION: Request for public comment.

SUMMARY: The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) today seeks public comment on proposed revisions to its 1995 Policy on Flexible State Enforcement Responses to Small Community Violations ( the Small Communities Policy). The Small Communities Policy encourages states to enhance protection of public health and the environment by providing comprehensive environmental compliance assistance to the 72% of American communities that are home to 2,500 or fewer permanent residents. If the actions of the state to provide compliance assistance and the actions of the small community to achieve compliance stay within the parameters of the Small Communities Policy, EPA will generally defer to the state's decision to reduce or waive the noncompliance penalty that EPA guidance would normally require the state to assess for the small community's violations. During the course of the compliance assistance, the small community must work in good faith with the state to: ( 1) Evaluate the small community's compliance status and identify all of its environmental violations; ( 2) develop a priority based schedule for the small community to achieve compliance with all applicable environmental requirements as soon as practicable; and ( 3) build the technical, managerial, and financial capacity the small community needs to achieve and sustain comprehensive environmental compliance. The central tenets of the Small Communities Policy are: 1. Good faith efforts; 2. enforceable commitments; and 3. comprehensive compliance with all environmental requirements. The 1995 Small Communities Policy can be downloaded from the Internet at http:// www. epa. gov/ compliance/ resources/ policies/ incentives/ smallcommunity/ scpolicy. pdf. EPA now proposes a number of revisions intended to extend the scope of the Small Communities Policy. The policy will be retitled the Small Local Governments Compliance Assistance Policy to clarify EPA's intent that the policy benefit units of local government. To make the benefits of the Small Local Governments Compliance Assistance Policy available to a greater number of small local governments, EPA proposes to: 1. Defer to states' decisions to reduce or waive the normal noncompliance penalties of local governments with 3,300 or fewer permanent residents   if the actions of the state to provide compliance assistance and the actions of the local government to achieve compliance are consistent with the parameters established by the Small Local Governments Compliance Assistance Policy. 2. Defer to states' decisions to reduce or waive the normal noncompliance penalties of local governments with between 3,301 and 10,000 permanent residents   if a state has followed guidelines in the Small Local Governments Compliance Assistance Policy to determine that the technical, managerial, and financial capacity of the local government is so limited that the local government is unlikely to achieve and sustain comprehensive environmental compliance without the state's assistance; and if the actions of the state to provide compliance assistance and the actions of the local government to achieve compliance are consistent with the parameters established by the policy. To make the benefits of the Small Local Governments Compliance Assistance Policy available in a wider range of circumstances, EPA proposes to defer to states' decisions to reduce or waive the normal noncompliance penalties for eligible local governments that enter into an enforceable agreement to: 1. correct known violations; and 2. develop and implement Environmental Management Systems for their governmental operations. EPA also proposes to defer to states' decisions to reduce or waive the normal noncompliance penalties for eligible local governments with between 3,301 and 10,000 permanent residents that enter into enforceable agreements either to achieve comprehensive environmental compliance or to develop and implement environmental management systems within the `` fenceline'' of a subset of their government operations. EPA also seeks public comment on whether and how the Agency could implement a policy similar to the Small Local Governments Compliance Assistance Policy for its compliance assistance and enforcement activities where EPA directly implements a program, where EPA retains primary enforcement authority, or where EPA takes action after consulting with a State VerDate jul< 14> 2003 19: 43 Oct 02, 2003 Jkt 203001 PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 03OCN1.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District, has issued a
temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the
Grassy Sound/Ocean Drive Bascule Bridge across the Grassy Sound
Channel, mile 1.0, at Middle Township, NJ. The deviation is necessary
to accommodate racers in ``The Wild Half'' half marathon. This
deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed position to ensure
safe passage for the half marathon racers.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 7:45 a.m. through 11 a.m. on
August 27, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Cape May County Department of Public Works
has requested a temporary deviation from the current operating
regulations of the Grassy Sound/Ocean Drive Bascule Bridge across the
Grassy Sound Channel, mile 1.0, at Middle Township, NJ. The route of
``The Wild Half'' half marathon crosses the bridge twice and the
requested deviation is to accommodate the race participants. To
facilitate this event, the draw of the bridge will be maintained in the
closed-to-navigation position from 7:45 a.m. until 11 a.m. on Sunday
August 27, 2011.
    The vertical clearance for this bridge in the closed position is 15
feet at Mean High Water and unlimited in the open position. The
operating regulations are set forth in 33 CFR 117.721 which states that
during this time of year the bridge shall open on signal from 6 a.m. to
8 p.m.
    Vessels that can pass through the bridge in the closed position may
do so at any time. The Coast Guard will inform the waterway users of
the closure through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners to
minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation. The bridge will
be able to open for emergencies. In the past 6 years there have been
minimal openings for this bridge during the morning hours in August.
Most vessel traffic consists of a few tugs and tows and recreational
boaters. Vessels can use the Stone Harbor Bridge across the Great
Channel as an alternate route to Hereford Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
