SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A new 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedure (SIAP) to Newton Field, 

Jackman, ME (K59B), the Helicopter 

RNAV 285 approach, requires the 

establishment of Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface in the vicinity of the airport. 

This action provides adequate 

controlled airspace to contain those 

aircraft executing the Helicopter RNAV 

285 approach. Class E airspace 

designations for airspace areas 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface of the earth are published in 

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9P, 

effective September 16, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this Order. 

The Direct Final Rule Procedure 

The FAA anticipates that this 

regulation will not result in adverse or 

negative comment, and, therefore, issues 

it as a direct final rule. 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. 

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 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. 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 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. FAA 2006–26032; Airspace 

Docket No. 06–ANE–01.’’ The postcard 

will be date stamped and returned to the 

commenter. 

Agency Findings 

The regulations adopted herein will 

not have substantial direct efforts 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, in 

accordance with Executive Order 12612, 

it is determined that this final rule does 

not have sufficient federalism 

implications to warrant the preparation 

of a Federalism Assessment. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. For the reasons discussed in 

the preamble, I certify that this 

regulation (a) 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 these routine matters will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation. It is certified that these 

proposed rules will not have significant 

economic impact on a substantial

Revision of Class E Airspace; 

Mountain Home, ID 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action revises Class E 

airspace at Mountain Home, ID, 

beginning at 1,200 feet above ground 

level (AGL), replacing the existing Class 

G uncontrolled airspace. This airspace 

action accommodates the terminal 

environment transition between Salt 

Lake Air Route Traffic Control Center 

(ARTCC) and Mountain Home AFB 

Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) by 

placing aircraft in controlled airspace 

during the transfer of aircraft radar 

identification between the facilities. In 

addition, a review of the legal 

description revealed that it does not 

reflect the correct airport reference point 

(ARP) of Mountain Home Municipal 

Airport and geographic position of the 

Sturgeon Non-Directional Beacon 

(NDB). The notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking published in the Federal 

Register on August 21, 2006, included 

an incorrect longitude for Mountain 

Home TACAN. This action corrects 

those minor discrepancies. 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, 

January 18, 2007. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 

51, subject to the annual revision of 

FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 21, 2006, the FAA 

published in Federal Register a notice 

of proposed rulemaking to revise the 

Class E airspace at Mountain Home, ID, 

replacing Class G uncontrolled airspace 

with Class E airspace. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on this proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. With the 

exception of an editorial change to the 

Mountain Home TACAN longitude, this 

revision is the same as that proposed in 

the notice. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

revising the Class E airspace area with 

a base altitude of 1,200 feet AGL in the 

vicinity of Mountain Home AFB, ID. 

Class E airspace is used to transition to 

and from the terminal or enroute 

environment, allowing a buffer for 

arriving and departing IFR aircraft from 

uncontrolled airspace. The FAA is 

taking this action to enhance the safe 

and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace in southern Idaho. 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 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.
