Docket No. 07–ACE–3] 

Modification of Class E Airspace; 

Monticello, IA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Title 14 

Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 

CFR 71) by modifying the Class E 

airspace area at Monticello Regional 

Airport, IA. The cancellation of the Non 

Directional Beacon (NDB) Instrument 

Approach Procedure (IAP) and 

subsequent decommissioning of the 

Monticello NDB requires modification 

of the Class E airspace area extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

of the earth. The intended effect of this 

rule is to provide controlled airspace of 

appropriate dimensions to protect 

aircraft executing Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAP) to 

Monticello Regional Airport, IA. 

DATES: This direct final rule is effective 

on 0901 UTC, July 5, 2007. The Director 

of the Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies 

the Class E airspace area extending 

upward from 700 feet AGL (E5) at 

Monticello Regional Airport, IA. The 

southeast extension to the E5 airspace 

area is deleted and the reference to the 

Monticello NDB is removed from the 

legal description. This modification 

brings the legal description of the 

Monticello Regional Airport, IA Class 

E5 airspace area into compliance with 

FAA Orders 7400.2F and 8260.19C. 

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 7400.9P, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated September 1, 2006, and effective 

September 15, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

listed in this document would be

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. 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 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting such written data, views, or 

arguments, as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

development reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers and be submitted in 

triplicate to the address listed above. 

Commenters wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

on this notice must submit with those 

comments a self-addressed, stamped 

postcard on which the following 

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to 

Docket No. FAA–2007–27678/Airspace 

Docket No. 07–ACE–3.’’ The postcard 

will be date/time stamped and returned 

to the commenter. 

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. 

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 the airspace necessary 

to ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

since it contains aircraft executing 

instrument approach procedures to 

Monticello Regional Airport, IA.

the Class E airspace area extending

(E5) at Marshalltown Municipal Airport, 

IA. The northwest extension of the E5

the 138° radial to match Instrument 

Approach Procedures. The reference to 

the Marshalltown NDB is removed from
