30126 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 106 /Wednesday, June 3, 1998 /Rules and Regulations

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. 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

published 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 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this rule may be amended or withdrawn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 the 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 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. 98–AWP–14.’’ The postcard

will be date stamped and returned to the

commenter.

Agency Findings

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects 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, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612,

it is determined that this final rule does

not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

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, 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 will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
