Agency Findings

The regulations adopted herein will

not have a substantial direct effect on

the States, on the relationship between

the national Government and the States,

or on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, it is

determined that this final rule does not

have federalism implications under

Executive Order 13132.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation is noncontroversial and

unlikely to result in adverse or negative

comments. For the reasons discussed in

the preamble, I certify that 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) if

promulgated, will not have a significant

economic impact, positive or negative,

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00–ACE–13]

Amendment to Class E Airspace;

Fairfield, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class

E airspace area at Fairfield Municipal

Airport, Fairfield, IA. The FAA has

developed an Area Navigation (RNAV)

Runway (RWY) 18 Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) to serve

Fairfield Municipal Airport, Fairfield,

IA. Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet Above

Ground Level (AGL) is needed to

accommodate this SIAP and for

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

at this airport. The enlarged area will

contain the RNAV RWY 18 SIAP in

controlled airspace.

In addition a minor revision to the

Airport Reference Point (ARP) is

included in this document.

The intended effect of this rule is to

provide controlled Class E airspace for

aircraft executing RNAV RWY 18 SIAP,

revise the ARP and to segregate aircraft

using instrument approach procedures

in instrument conditions from aircraft

operating in visual conditions.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective

on 0901 UTC, November 30, 2000.

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

Docket must be received on or before

August 28, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding

the rule in triplicate to: Manager,

Airspace Branch, Air Traffic Division,

ACE–520, DOT Regional Headquarters

Building, Federal Aviation

Administration, Docket Number 00–

ACE–13, 901 Locust, Kansas City, MO

64106.

The official docket may be examined

in the Office of the Regional Counsel for

the Central Region at the same address

between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, except Federal

holidays. An informal docket may also

be examined during normal business

hours in the Air Traffic Division at the

same address listed above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

has developed RNAV RWY 18 SIAP to

serve the Fairfield Municipal Airport,

Fairfield, IA. The amendment to Class E

airspace at Fairfield, IA, will provide

additional controlled airspace at and

above 700 feet AGL in order to contain

the SIAP within controlled airspace,

and thereby facilitate separation of

aircraft operating under Instrument

Flight Rules (IFR). The amendment at

Fairfield Municipal Airport, IA, will

provide additional controlled airspace

for aircraft operating under IFR and

revise the ARP. The area will be

depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts. Class E airspace areas extending

upward from 700 feet or more above the

surface of the earth are published in

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9G,

dated September 10, 1999, and effective

September 16, 1999, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

The FAA anticipates that this

regulation will not result in adverse or

negative comment and, therefore, is

issuing it as a direct final rule. Previous

actions of this nature have not been

controversial and have not resulted in

adverse comments or objections. The

amendment will enhance safety for all

flight operations by designating an area

where VFR pilots may anticipate the

presence of IFR aircraft at lower

40992 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 128 / Monday, July 3, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

altitudes, especially during inclement

weather conditions. A greater degree of

safety is achieved by depicting the area

on aeronautical charts. 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 date on which the final

rule will become effective. If the FAA

does receive, 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 final rule and was not preceded by a

notice of proposed rulemaking,

comments are invited on this rule.

Interested persons are invited to

comment on this rule by submitting

such written data, views, or arguments

as they may desire. Communications

should identify the Rules Docket

number and be submitted in triplicate to

the address specified under the caption

ADDRESSES. 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.

Factual information that supports the

commenter’s ideas and suggestions is

extremely helpful in evaluating the

effectiveness of this action and

determining whether additional

rulemaking action would be needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy-related

aspects of the rule that might suggest a

need to modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this

action will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters 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. 00–ACA–13.’’ The postcard

will be date stamped and returned to the

commenter.

Agency Findings

The regulations adopted herein will

December 3, 1999 (64 FR 68936

December 9, 1999) and provides the

staff’s views in applying generally

accepted accounting principles to

selected revenue recognition issues.

SAB 101A was released on March 24,

to receive requests from a number of

groups asking for additional time to

determine the effect, if any, on

registrant’s revenue recognition

practices. This staff accounting bulletin

delays the implementation date of SAB

quarter of fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 1999.
