Technically, ATC has no jurisdiction to "victor" VFR aircraft
operating within Class E airspace. Controllers often do attempt to do
that, but compliance is at the discretion of the Pilot In Command
(PIC).


The Class E airspace near Marysville would be within the outer area
associated with Beale AFB Class C airspace.


It looks that way he http://skyvector.com/perl/code?id=KMYV&scale=3

Class C services are provided to participating traffic and VFR
aircraft can be vectored.


So that's only true for ATC vectoring VFR flights operating in Class E
airspace generally within 30 miles of a Class C airport. I hadn't
consulted a chart when I made my statement.

To be more accurate, I should have said, "Technically, ATC has no
jurisdiction to "victor" VFR aircraft operating within Class E
airspace unless they are within a Class C outer area." Is that
consistent with your view of the regulations/orders?

Thanks for your input.
