on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Accordingly, the

FAA has not consulted with state

authorities prior to publication of this

rule.

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) 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

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

action corrects the longitude and

latitude coordinates for the Burlington

International Airport. This action is

necessary to accurately describe the

controlled airspace necessary for aircraft

executing instrument approaches to the

Burlington Airport at times when

Burlington Class C airspace area is

active. Class E airspace designations for

airspace areas designated as extensions

to Class C surface areas are published in

paragraph 6003 of FAA Order 7400.9G,

dated September 1, 1999, and effective

September 16, 1999, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class 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 of

negative comment, and, therefore, issues

its 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 as necessary to

keep them operationally current. Unless

a written adverse or negative comment,

or a written notice of intent to submit

an adverse 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.

5770 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 25 / Monday, February 7, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

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. 99–ANE–93.’’ The postcard

will be date stamped and returned to the

commenter.

Agency Findings

This rule does not have federalism

implications, as defined in Executive

Order No. 13132, because it does 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. Accordingly, the

FAA has not consulted with state

authorities prior to publication of this

rule.

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) 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

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

[Airspace Docket No. 00–ACE–5]

Amendment to Class E Airspace;

Monticello, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E

airspace area at Monticello Regional

Airport, Monticello, IA. A review of the

Class E airspace area for Monticello

Regional Airport indicates it does not

comply with the criteria for 700 feet

Above Ground Level (AGL) airspace

required for diverse departures as

specified in FAA Order 7400.2D. The

Class E airspace has been enlarged to

conform to the criteria of FAA Order

7400.2D.

The intended effect of this rule is to

provide additional controlled Class E

airspace for aircraft operating under

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and

comply with the criteria of FAA Order

7400.2D.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, June

15, 2000.

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

Docket must be received on or before

March 24, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to 14 CFR 71 revises the

Class E airspace at Monticello, IA. A

review of the Class E airspace for

Monticello Regional Airport, IA,

indicates it does not meet the criteria for

700 feet AGL airspace required for

diverse departures as specified in FAA

Order 7400.2D. The criteria in FAA

Order 7400.2D for an aircraft to reach

1200 feet AGL is based on a standard

climb gradient of 200 feet per mile plus

the distance from the Airport Reference

Point (ARP) to the end of the outermost

runway. Any fractional part of a mile is

converted to the next higher tenth of a

mile. The amendment at Monticello

Regional Airport, IA, will provide

additional controlled airspace for

aircraft operating under IFR, and

comply with the criteria of FAA Order

7400.2D. The area will be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts. Class E

airspace areas extending upward from

700 feet or more above the surface of the

earth are published in paragraphs 6005

of FAA Order 7400.9G, dated September

10, 1999, and effective September 16,

1999, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E

airspace designation listed in this
