McKinney, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the

Class D and Class E airspace at

McKinney, TX. The development of a

planned Global Positioning System

(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAP’s) at McKinney

Municipal Airport, McKinney, TX, has

made this rule necessary. This action is

intended to provide adequate additional

controlled airspace for aircraft operating

under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) in

the vicinity of McKinney Municipal

Airport, McKinney, TX.

DATES: Effective: 0901 UTC, February

26, 1998. Comment Date: Comments

must be received on or before January 8,

1998.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the rule

in triplicate to Manager, Airspace

Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal

Aviation Administration, Southwest

Region, Docket No. 97–ASW–22, Fort

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 amends

the Class D and Class E airspace at

McKinney Municipal Airport,

McKinney, TX. The development of

GPS SIAPs to RWYs 13 and 17 at

McKinney Municipal Airport,

McKinney, TX, has made this action

necessary. The intended effect of this

action is to provide additional

controlled airspace for aircraft operating

under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) in

the vicinity of McKinney Municipal

Airport, TX.

Class D airspace designations are

published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA

Order 7400.9E, dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR § 71.1. The Class D airspace

designation listed in this document will

be published subsequently in the order.

Class E airspace designations are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9E, dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

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. A

substantial number of previous

opportunities provided to the public to

comment on substantially identical

actions have resulted in negligible

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

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 is 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. 97–ASW–22.’’ The postcard
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 226 / Monday, November 24, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 62517

will be date stamped and returned to the

commenter.

Agency Findings

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects on the

States, on the relationship between the

national government and the States, or

on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various level

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.

Further, the FAA has determined that

this regulation is noncontroversial and

unlikely to result in adverse or negative

comments and only involves an

established body of technical

regulations that require frequent and

routine amendments to keep them

operationally current. Therefore, I

certify that this regulation (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) 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. Since this rule involves

routine matters that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

does not warrant preparation of a

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis because

the anticipated impact is so minimal.
