is impracticable, unnecessary, and 

contrary to the public interest. This rule 

sets the effective date for a rulemaking 

that has already been through the public 

comment process. Seeking prior public 

comments on the effective date is 

impracticable, as well as contrary to the 

public interest in the orderly 

promulgation and implementation of 

this rule. 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

FAA announces the effective date of 14 

CFR part 43, Amendment 43–40, 

published July 14, 2005. The 

amendments require that the 

maintenance, preventive maintenance, 

and alterations be performed in 

accordance with a Bilateral Aviation 

Safety Agreement (BASA) between the 

United States and Canada and 

associated Maintenance Implementation 

Procedures (MIP). The MIP was signed 

and entered into force on August 31, 

2006; accordingly, the amendments 

became effective on that date. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on November 

22, 2006.

[Docket No. FAA–2006–25270; Airspace 

Docket No. 06–ASO–9] 

Establishment of Class D Airspace; 

Eastman, GA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action changes the name 

of the Eastman-Dodge County Airport to 

Heart of Georgia Regional Airport and 

establishes Class D airspace at Eastman, 

GA. On October 9, 1995, the EastmanDodge County Airport Authority 

adopted a name change for the airport. 

A non-Federal contract tower with a 

weather reporting system has been 

constructed at Heart of Georgia Regional 

Airport. Therefore, the airport meets 

criteria for Class D airspace. Class D 

surface area airspace is required when 

the control tower is open to contain 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAPs) and other 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. This action establishes 

Class D airspace extending upward from 

the surface to and including 2,500 feet 

MSL within a 4.1-mile radius of the 

airport. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 18, 

2000. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference under 1 CFR part 51, subject 

to the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.9 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 2, 2006, the FAA proposed 

to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by 

changing the name of the EastmanDodge City Airport and establishing 

Class D airspace at Eastman, GA (71 FR 

43678). This action provides adequate 

Class D airspace for IFR operations at 

Heart of Georgia Regional Airport. 

Designations for Class D Airspace are 

published in FAA Order 7400.9P, 

effective September 16, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class D airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be published subsequently in the Order. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments objecting to the proposal 

were received. 

The Rule 

This amendment to part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) changes the name of the 

Eastman-Dodge County Airport to Heart 

of Georgia Regional Airport and 

establishes Class D airspace at Eastman, 

GA. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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.
