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.

14 CFR Part 71

[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.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding

the rule in triplicate to: Manager,

Building, Federal Aviation

Administration, Docket Number 00–

ACE–5, 901 Locust, Kansas City, MO

The official docket may be examined

in the Office of the Regional Counsel for

the Central Region at the same address

between 9: a.m. and 3: p.m., Monday

through Friday, except Federal holidays.

An informal docket may also be

examined during normal business hours

in the Air Traffic Division at the same

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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 25 / Monday, February 7, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 5771

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. Previous

actions of this nature have not been

controversial and have not resulted in

adverse comments or objections. The

amendment will enhance safety for all

flight operations by designating an area

where VFR pilots may anticipate the

presence of IFR aircraft at lower

altitudes, especially during inclement

weather conditions. A greater degree of

safety is achieved by depicting the area

on aeronautical charts. 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 would be needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy-related

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. 00–ACE–5.’’ The postcard

will be date 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.
