Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and
Approval; Comment Request; NSPS for Coal Preparation and Processing
Plants (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), ``NSPS for Coal Preparation and
Processing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart Y) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No.
1062.14, OMB Control No. 2060-0122), to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of
the ICR, which is currently approved through March 31, 2016. Public
comments were previously requested via the Federal Register (80 FR
32116) on June 5, 2015 during a 60-day comment period. This notice
allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden
and cost to the public. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor and a
person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless
it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before April 13,
2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2012-0498, to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our
preferred method), or by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by mail to:

1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460; and (2) OMB via email
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Address comments to OMB Desk Officer
for EPA.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI), or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit: http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required
to comply with reporting and record-keeping requirements for the
general provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, as well as for the
specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Y. This includes
submitting initial notification reports, performance tests and periodic
reports and results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of
an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system
is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance
with the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Coal preparation and processing
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart Y).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,037 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 42,300 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $4,320,000 (per year), including $65,600 in
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
respondent labor hours due to a change in assumption. In this ICR, we
assume all existing sources will take some time each year to re-
familiarize themselves with the regulatory requirements.
    In addition, there is a decrease in cost and number of responses
due to a reduction in the estimated number of sources subject to the
regulation. The previous ICR estimated that five new sources per year
will be constructed such that they will become subject to the
regulation. In consultation with

OAQPS for the renewal of this ICR, we believe there will not be any net
growth over the next three years. As such, no sources will incur burden
associated with initial notifications and performance testing. This
results in a decrease in capital cost and number of responses.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: This information collection activity provides the EPA
with notification of supplemental registration of distributors of
pesticide products. EPA is responsible for the regulation of pesticides
as mandated by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA), as amended. Section 3(e) of FIFRA (see 7 U.S.C. 136a(e),
allows pesticide registrants to distribute or sell a registered
pesticide product under a different name instead of or in addition to
the name under the original registration. Such distribution and sale is
termed ``supplemental distribution'' and the product is termed a
``distributor product.'' EPA requires the pesticide registrant to
submit a supplemental statement (EPA Form 8570-5, Notice of
Supplemental Distribution of a Registered Pesticide Product) when the
registrant has entered into an agreement with a second company that
will distribute the registrant's product under the second company's
name and product name.
    Burden statement: The total estimated annual respondent paperwork
burden to comply with this information collection activity is 603
hours, or about 19 minutes per response. This estimate includes the
time needed to review instructions; utilize technology and systems for
the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to respond to
a collection of information; search existing data sources; complete and
review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
    Form Numbers: EPA Form 8750-5.
    Respondents/affected entities: 1885.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: This information is required to
be submitted pursuant to Section 3(e) of FIFRA, as amended. Regulations
pertaining to supplemental distribution of pesticide products are
contained in Title 40 CFR part 152.132.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1885.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 603 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $54,463 (per year), includes $0.00 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall increase of 216 hours
in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to the increase in the
number of applications the Agency expects to receive in the next 3
years. EPA had expected to receive about 1,451 notice submissions
annually over the past three years. Based on the number of submissions
received annually over that period, the Agency now expects to receive
about 1,885 notice submissions annually over the next 3 years. This
change is an adjustment to reflect the observed annual increase in
submissions.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-72213; File No. SR-MIAX-2014-19]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Miami International Securities
Exchange LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change by Miami International Securities Exchange LLC To
List and Trade on the Exchange Options on Shares of the iShares MSCI
Mexico Index Fund

May 21, 2014.
    Pursuant to the provisions of Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice
is hereby given that, on May 13, 2014, Miami International Securities
Exchange LLC (``MIAX'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a proposed rule change as
described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by
the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to list and trade on the Exchange options on
shares of the iShares MSCI Mexico Index Fund.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to list for trading on the Exchange, options
on the shares of the iShares MSCI Mexico Index Fund (the ``Fund'')
(``EWW''). MIAX Rule 402 establishes the Exchange's initial listing
standards for equity options (the ``Listing Standards''). This proposed
rule change is based on similar filings submitted by NYSE Amex
(``Amex''), Chicago Board Options Exchange (``CBOE''), and
International Securities Exchange (``ISE'').\3\ The Listing Standards
permit the Exchange to list options on the shares of open-end
investment companies, such as the Fund, without having to file for
approval with the Commission.\4\ The Exchange submits that the shares
of the Fund substantially meet all of the initial listing requirements.
In particular, all of the requirements set forth in Rule 402(i) are met
except for the requirement concerning the existence of a comprehensive
surveillance sharing agreement (``CSSA''). However, the Exchange
submits that sufficient mechanisms exist in order to provide adequate
surveillance and regulatory information with respect to the portfolio
securities of the Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 56778 (November 9,
2007), 72 FR 65113 (November 19, 2007) (SR-Amex-2007-100); 57013
(December 20, 2007), 72 FR 73923 (December 28, 2007) (SR-CBOE-2007-
140); 57014 (December 20, 2007), 72 FR 73934 (December 28, 2007)
(SR-ISE-2007-111).
    \4\ MIAX Rule 402(i) provides the Listing Standards for shares
or other securities (``Exchange-Traded Fund Shares'') that are
traded on a national securities exchange and are defined as an ``NMS
stock'' under Rule 600 of Regulation NMS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund is registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of
1940 as a management investment company designed to hold a portfolio of
securities which track the MSCI Mexico Index (``Index'').\5\ The Index
consists of stocks traded primarily on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores
(the ``Bolsa''). The Fund employs a ``representative sampling''
methodology to track the Index by investing in a representative sample
of Index securities having a similar investment profile as the
Index.\6\ BlackRock Fund Advisors (``BFA'' or the ``Adviser'') expects
the Fund to closely track the Index so that, over time, a tracking
error of 5%, or less, is exhibited. Securities selected by the Fund
have aggregate investment characteristics (based on market
capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics
(such as return variability, earnings valuation and yield) and
liquidity measures similar to those of the Index. The Fund will not
concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets
in the stocks of a particular industry or group of industries), except,
to the extent practicable, to reflect the concentration in the Index.
The Fund will invest at least eighty percent (80%) of its assets in the
securities comprising the Index and/or related American Depositary
Receipts (``ADRs''). In addition, at least ninety percent (90%) of the
Fund's assets will be invested in the securities comprising the Index
or other related Mexican securities or ADRs. The Fund may also invest
its other assets in futures contracts, options on futures contracts,
listed options, over-the-counter (``OTC'') options, and swaps related
to the Index, as well as cash and cash equivalents. The Exchange
believes that these requirements and policies prevent the Fund from
being excessively weighted in any single security or small group of
securities and significantly reduce concerns that trading in the Fund
could become a surrogate for trading in unregistered securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. (``MSCI'') created
and maintains the Index.
    \6\ As of February 28, 2014, the Fund was comprised of 51
securities. America Movil SA de CV-Series L had the greatest
individual weight at 16.69%. The aggregate percentage weighting of
the top 5 and 10 securities in the Fund were 43.68% and 62.82%,
respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Shares of the Fund (``Fund Shares'') are issued and redeemed, on a
continuous basis, at net asset value (``NAV'') in aggregation size of
100,000 shares, or multiples thereof (a ``Creation Unit''). Following
issuance, Fund Shares are traded on an exchange like other equity
securities.
    The Fund Shares trade in the secondary markets in amounts less than
a Creation Unit and the price per Fund Share may differ from its NAV
which is calculated once daily as of the regularly scheduled close of
business of NYSE Arca.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The regularly scheduled close of trading on NYSE Arca is
normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (``ET'') and 4:15 p.m. for ETFs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    State Street Bank and Trust Company, the administrator, custodian,
and transfer agent for the Fund, calculates the Fund's NAV. Detailed
information on the Fund can be found at www.ishares.com.
    The Exchange has reviewed the Fund and determined that the Fund
Shares satisfy the initial listing standards, except for the
requirement set forth in MIAX Rule 402(i)(5)(ii)(A) which requires the
Fund to meet the following condition:
     any non-U.S. component securities of an index or portfolio
of securities on which the Exchange-Traded Fund Shares are based that
are not subject to comprehensive surveillance agreements do not in the
aggregate represent more than 50% of the weight of the index or
portfolio.

    The Exchange currently does not have in place a surveillance
agreement with Bolsa.
    The Exchange submits that the Commission, in the past, has been
willing to allow a national securities exchange to rely on a memorandum
of understanding entered into between regulators in the event that the
exchanges themselves cannot enter into a CSSA. Other options exchanges
have previously attempted to enter into a CSSA with Bolsa.\8\ The CBOE
previously attempted to enter into a CSSA with Bolsa at or about the
time when the CBOE sought approval to list for trading options on the
CBOE Mexico 30 Index in 1995, which was comprised of stocks trading on
Bolsa.\9\ Since Bolsa was unable to provide a surveillance agreement,
the Commission allowed the CBOE to rely on the memorandum of
understanding executed by the Commission and the CNBV,\10\ dated as of
October 18, 1990 (``MOU'').\11\ The Commission noted that in cases
where it would be impossible to secure a CSSA, the Commission relied in
the past on surveillance sharing agreements between the relevant
regulators.\12\ The Commission further noted that, pursuant to the
terms of the MOU, it was the Commission's understanding that both the
Commission and the CNBV could acquire information from, and provide
information to, the other similar to that which would be required in a
CSSA between exchanges and, therefore, should the CBOE need information
on Mexican trading in the component securities of the CBOE Mexico 30
Index, the Commission could request such information from the CNBV
under the MOU.\13\

    \12\ Id.
    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The practice of relying on surveillance agreements or MOUs between
regulators when a foreign exchange was unable, or unwilling, to provide
an information sharing agreement was affirmed by the Commission in the
Commission's New Product Release (``New Product Release'').\14\ The
Commission noted in the New Product Release that if securing a CSSA is
not possible, an exchange should contact the Commission prior to
listing a new derivative securities product. The Commission also noted
that the Commission may determine instead that it is appropriate to
rely on a memorandum of understanding between the Commission and the
foreign regulator.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 40761 (December 8,
1998), 63 FR 70952, 70959 at fn. 101 (December 22, 1998).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has recently contacted Bolsa with a request to enter
into a CSSA. Until the Exchange is able to secure a CSSA with Bolsa,
the Exchange requests that the Commission allow the listing and trading
of options on the Fund without a CSSA, upon reliance of the MOU entered
into between the Commission and the CNBV. The Exchange believes this
request is reasonable and notes that the Commission has provided
similar relief in the past. For example, the Commission approved, on a
pilot basis, proposals of competing exchanges to list and trade options
on the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Fund.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 53824 (May 17,
2006), 71 FR 30003 (May 24, 2006) (SR-Amex-2006-43); 54081 (June 30,
2006), 71 FR 38911 (July 10, 2006) (SR-Amex-2006-60); 54553

91); 55040 (January 3, 2007), 72 FR 1348 (January 11, 2007) (SR-
Amex-2007-01); and 55955 (June 25, 2007), 72 FR 36079 (July 2, 2007)

2007) (SR-ISE-2007-72).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission's approval of this request to list and trade options
on the Fund would otherwise render the Fund compliant with all of the
applicable Listing Standards.
    The Exchange shall continue to use its best efforts to obtain a
CSSA with Bolsa, which shall reflect the following: (1) Express
language addressing market trading activity, clearing activity, and
customer identity; (2) the Bolsa's reasonable ability to obtain access
to and produce requested information; and (3) based on the CSSA and
other information provided by the Bolsa, the absence of existing rules,
law or practices that would impede the Exchange from obtaining foreign
information relating to market activity, clearing activity, or customer
identity, or in the event such rules, laws, or practices exist, they
would not materially impede the production of customer or other
information.
 2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) \16\ of the Act in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \17\ of the Act in particular, in that it
is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. In
particular, the Exchange believes listing and trading of options on the
iShares MSCI Mexico Index Fund will benefit investors by providing them
with valuable risk management tools.

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange believes this proposed rule change will benefit
investors by providing additional methods to trade options on the
iShares MSCI Mexico Index Fund, and by providing them with valuable
risk management tools. Specifically, the Exchange believes that market
participants on MIAX would benefit from the introduction and
availability of options on the iShares MSCI Mexico Index Fund in a
manner that is similar to other exchanges and will provide investors
with yet another venue on which to trade these products. The Exchange
notes that the rule change is being proposed as a competitive response
to other competing options exchanges \18\ and believes this proposed
rule change is necessary to permit fair competition among the options
exchanges. For all the reasons stated above, the Exchange does not
believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on
competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes
of the Act, and believes the proposed change will enhance competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the proposed rule change does not (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \19\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative
delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon
filing. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay
is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
The Commission notes that options on the iShares MSCI Mexico Index Fund
currently trade on other exchanges. The Commission designates the
proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

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 upward from 700 feet
above the surface of the earth to support IFR operations at Crooked
Creek Airport, Crooked Creek, AK.

Comments Invited

    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 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, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Persons 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 Docket No. FAA-2021-0004;
Airspace Docket No. 20-AAL-55''. The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified 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 the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive

public contact with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will
be filed in the docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Northwest Mountain Regional Office of the Federal
Aviation Administration, Air Traffic Organization, Western Service
Center, Operations Support Group, 2200 S. 216th Street, Des Moines, WA
98198.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective
September 15, 2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E 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 14 CFR part 71 by establishing
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of
the earth at Crooked Creek Airport, Crooked Creek, AK.
    The Class E airspace would be established within a 2 mile radius of
the airport, excluding that area within the Stony B Military Operations
Area, and that airspace within 2 miles each side of the 332[deg]
bearing extending from the 2-mile radius to 8.5 miles northwest of the
airport. This airspace would protect aircraft using the RNAV approach
to runway 14 and departures until reaching 1,200 feet AGL.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020, 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.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Release From Quitclaim Deed and Federal Grant Assurance
Obligations at Oxnard Airport, Oxnard, Ventura County, California

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of request to release airport land.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and
invites public comment on the application for a release of
approximately .99 acre of airport property near Oxnard Airport, Oxnard,
Ventura County, California, from all conditions contained in the
Quitclaim Deed and Grant Assurances since the parcel of land is not
needed for airport purposes. The property will be sold for its fair
market value and the proceeds used for airport purposes. The continued
use of the land for agriculture represents a compatible land use that
will not interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby
protecting the interests of civil aviation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 19, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on the request may be mailed
or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Tony Garcia, Airports
Compliance Program Manager, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports
Division, Federal Register Comment, 15000 Aviation Blvd., Lawndale, CA
90261. In addition, one copy of the comment submitted to the FAA must
be mailed or delivered to Mr. Todd McNamee, Director, Ventura County
Department of Airports, 555 Airport Way, Camarillo, CA 93010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21),
Public Law 10-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    Ventura County, Department of Airports, Camarillo, California
requested a release from the conditions contained in the Quitclaim Deed
and Grant Assurance obligations for approximately .99 acres of airport
land near Oxnard Airport. The property is located northwest of Oxnard
Airport, adjacent to North Victoria Avenue and between Doris Avenue and
Gonzales Road. The property is presently farm land in an agricultural
area. The land will continue to be used for farming. Ventura County
requested approval to sell the small parcel because the land is not
needed for airport purposes and its current agricultural status
prevents other uses. The property is approximately one mile from the
airport boundary and is not suitable for current or future airport
development. The sale price will be based on its appraised market value
and the sale proceeds will be used for airport purposes. The continued
use of the property for farming represents a compatible use that will
not interfere with airport operations. The airport will be properly
compensated, thereby serving the interests of civil aviation.
