13670 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 23, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

amending Class E airspace for the 

Dumas, TX area, adding additional 

controlled airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface to 

accommodate SIAPs at Moore County 

Airport, Dumas, TX. This action also 

updates the geographic coordinates of 

Moore County Airport to coincide with 

the FAA’s National Aeronautical 

Charting Office. This action is necessary 

for the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

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 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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. 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 airspace 

necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft 

and the efficient use of airspace. This 

regulation is within the scope of that 

authority as it amends controlled 

airspace at Moore County Airport, 

Dumas, TX.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Confirmation of Effective Date 

The FAA published this direct final 

rule with a request for comments in the 

Federal Register on December 29, 2009 

(74 FR 68667), Docket No. FAA–2009– 

0955; Airspace Docket No. 09–ASO–28. 

The FAA uses the direct final 

rulemaking procedure for a noncontroversial rule where the FAA 

believes that there will be no adverse 

public comment. This direct final rule 

advised the public that no adverse 

comments were anticipated, and that 

unless a written adverse comment, or a 

written notice of intent to submit such 

an adverse comment, were received 

within the comment period, the 

regulation would become effective on 

February 11, 2010. No adverse 

comments were received, and thus this 

notice confirms that effective date.
