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

arriving at the departing from the

Burlington Airport under instrument

flight rules. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface of the earth are published in

paragraph 6005 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 E 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 or

negative comment, and, therefore, issues

it 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 are necessary

to keep them operationally current.

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 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this rule may be amended or withdrawn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.

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 Rule 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–94,’’ 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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 25 / Monday, February 7, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 5769

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.
