14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00–ACE–28]

Amendment to Class E Airspace;

Pittsburg, KS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class

E airspace area at Atkinson Municipal

Airport, Pittsburg, KS. The FAA has

developed Area Navigation (RNAV)

Runway (RWY) 3, RNAV RWY 16,

RNAV RWY 21, RNAV RWY 34, and

Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB)–A

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs) to serve Atkinson

Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS.

Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet Above

Ground Level (AGL) is needed to

accommodate these SIAPs and for

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

at this airport. The enlarged area will

contain the new RNAV RWY 3, RNAV

RWY 16, RNAV RWY 21, RNAV RWY

34, and NDB–A SIAPs in controlled

airspace.

In addition a minor revision to the

Airport Reference Point (ARP) and NDB

coordinates have been included in this

document.

The intended effect of this rule is to

provide controlled Class E airspace for

aircraft executing the RNAV RWY 3,

RNAV RWY 16, RNAV RWY 21, RNAV

RWY 34, and NDB–A SIAPs, revise the

ARP and NDB coordinates, and to

segregate aircraft using instrument

approach procedures in instrument

conditions from aircraft operating in

visual conditions.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective

on 0901 UTC, March 22, 2001.

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

Docket must be received on or before

December 4, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding

the rule in triplicate to: Manager,

Operations and Airspace Branch, Air

Traffic Division, ACE–530, DOT

Regional Headquarters Building, Federal

Aviation Administration, Docket

Number 00–ACE–28, 901 Locust,

Kansas City, MO 64106.

The official docket may be examined

in the Office of the Regional Counsel for

the Central Region at the same address

between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 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 address listed above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Building, Federal Aviation

Administration, 901 Locus, Kansas City,

MO 64106; telephone: (816) 329–2525.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

has developed RNAV RWY 3, RNAV

RWY 16, RNAV RWY 21, RNAV RWY

34, and NDB–A SIAPs to serve the

Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg,

KS. The amendment to Class E airspace

at Pittsburg, KS, will provide additional

controlled airspace at and above 700

feet AGL in order to contain the new

SIAPs within controlled airspace, and

thereby facilitate separation of aircraft

operating under Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR). The amendment at Pittsburg

Municipal Airport, KS, will provide

additional controlled airspace for

aircraft operating under IFR and revise

the ARP and NDB coordinates. 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 paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9H, dated September 1,

2000, and effective September 16, 2000,

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. 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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 206 / Tuesday, October 24, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 63545

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–28.’’ 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.

Correction

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

SUMMARY: This document contains a

correcting amendment to the temporary

regulations, which were published in

the Federal Register on December 22,

1999, (64 FR 71947). The temporary

regulations relate to implementing

certain provisions of the Balanced

Budget Act of 1997 that set forth

requirements that, beginning January 1,

2000, importers of tobacco products

must qualify for a permit to conduct that

activity.

DATES: This rule is effective October 24,

2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and

Firearms, 650 Massachusetts Avenue

NW., Washington, DC 20226 (202–927–

8210).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The temporary regulations that are the

subject of this correction implemented

some of the provisions of the Balanced

Budget Act of 1997, (Pub. L. 105–33)

and made clarifying changes to part 275.

The temporary regulations were

published in the Federal Register on

December 22, 1999, (T.D. ATF–422, 64

FR 71947), and two corrections to the

temporary rules were published on

March 21, 2000, (T.D. ATF–422a, 65 FR

15058) and on July 24, 2000, (T.D. ATF–

422b, 65 FR 45523). The temporary

regulations require that, beginning

January 1, 2000, importers of tobacco

products must qualify for a permit to

conduct that activity.

Need for Correction

As published, the temporary

regulations contain an omission in the

meaning of term ‘‘appropriate ATF

officer.’’ The meaning of this term

should also refer to ATF O 1130.15,

Delegation Order—Delegation of Certain

of the Director’s Authorities in 27 CFR

parts 270, 275 and 296. This document

corrects this omission.

Accordingly, 27 CFR part 275 is

corrected by making the following

correcting amendments:

PART 275—IMPORTATION OF

TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND

CIGARETTE PAPERS AND TUBES
