SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Direct Final Rule Procedure 

The FAA anticipates that this 

regulation will not result in adverse or 

negative comments, and, therefore, 

issues it as a direct final rule. The FAA 

has determined that this rule only 

involves an established body of 

technical regulations for which frequent 

and routine amendments are necessary 

to keep them operationally current. 

Unless a written adverse or negative 

comment or a written notice of intent to 

submit an adverse or negative comment 

is received within the comment period, 

the regulation will become effective on 

the date specified above. After the close 

of the comment period, the FAA will 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register indicating that no adverse or 

negative comments were received and 

confirming the effective date. If the FAA 

receives, within the comment period, an 

adverse or negative comment, or written 

notice of intent to submit such a 

comment, a document withdrawing the 

direct final rule will be published in the 

Federal Register, and a notice of 

proposed rulemaking may be published 

with a new comment period. 

Comments Invited 

Although this action is in the form of 

a direct final rule, and was not preceded 

by a notice of proposed rulemaking, 

interested persons are invited to 

comment on this rule by submitting 

such written data, views, or arguments 

as they may desire. An electronic copy 

of this document may be downloaded 

from and comments may be submitted 

and reviewed at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Recently 

published rulemaking documents can 

also be accessed through the FAA’s Web 

page at http://www.faa.gov/ 

airports_airtraffic/air_traffic/ 

publications/airspace_amendments. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers and be submitted in 

triplicate to the address specified under 

the caption ADDRESSES above or through 

the Web site. All communications 

received on or before the closing date 

for comments will be considered, and 

this rule may be amended or withdrawn 

in light of the comments received. 

Comments are specifically invited on 

the overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

the rule that might suggest a need to 

modify the rule. Factual information 

that supports the commenter’s idea and 

suggestions is extremely helpful in 

evaluating the effectiveness of this 

action and determining whether 

additional rulemaking action would be 

needed. All comments submitted will be 

available, both before and after the 

closing date for comments, in the Rules 

Docket for examination by interested 

persons. Those wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

submitted in response to this rule must 

submit a self-addressed, stamped 

postcard on which the following 

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to 

Docket No. FAA–2010–0069; Airspace 

Docket No. 10–ASO–15.’’ The postcard 

will be date stamped and returned to the 

commenter. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes Class E airspace at Mount 

Pleasant, SC, to provide controlled 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface of the earth to 

support the SIAPs that have been 

developed for Mt Pleasant Regional 

Airport-Faison Field. 

Designations for Class E airspace areas 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the Earth are 

published in FAA Order 7400.9T, 

signed August 27, 2009, and effective 

September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E designations listed in 

this document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

Agency Findings 

The regulations adopted herein will 

not have substantial direct effects on the 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
16336 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 62 / Thursday, April 1, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

States, on the relationship between the 

national government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among various levels of 

government. Therefore, it is determined 

that this direct final rule does not have 

federalism implications under Executive 

Order 13132. 

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. 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 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 

establishes Class E airspace at Mount 

Pleasant, SC.

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes a low 

altitude area navigation (RNAV) route, 

designated T–284, in the Houston, TX, 

terminal area, to expedite the handling 

of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 

overflight aircraft transitioning busy 

terminal airspace. The FAA is taking 

this action to enhance the safe and 

efficient use of the navigable airspace in 

the Houston, TX, terminal area. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, July 29, 

2010. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Friday, November 13, 2009, the 

FAA published in the Federal Register 

a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) to establish low altitude area 

navigation route T–284 (74 FR 58571). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. No comments were received. 

The following editorial changes are 

corrected in this final rule. The airway 

identifier presented in the regulatory 

text of the NPRM was incorrectly listed 

as T–254 instead of T–284. 

Additionally, the points WEMAR and 

DROPP identified in the route 

description were incorrectly listed as 

WPs (waypoints) instead of fixes. With 

the exception of the editorial changes 

noted above, this amendment is the 

same as that proposed in the NPRM. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing area navigation route T–284 

between the WEMAR, TX, navigation fix 

and the Scholes, TX, VORTAC. The new 

route will enhance the flow of air traffic 

in the Houston, TX, terminal area. 

Low altitude RNAV routes are 

published in paragraph 6011 of FAA 

Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, 

and effective September 15, 2009, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The low altitude RNAV routes 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 United States Code.
