Docket No. 09–ASO–11] 

Modification of Class D and E 

Airspace, Removal of Class E 

Airspace; Aguadilla, PR 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Direct final rule, request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D 

Airspace, modifies Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to Class D 

surface area and removes Class E 

airspace designated as surface area for 

an airport at Aguadilla, PR. The Rafael 

Hernandez Airport Air Traffic Control 

Tower will now operate on a full-time 

basis, thus the associated controlled 

airspace is being modified and removed 

to reflect the change. This action 

enhances the National Airspace System 

by providing controlled airspace in the 

vicinity of Aguadilla, PR. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 7, 2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approves this incorporation by reference 

action under title 1, Code of Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Direct Final Rule Procedure 

The FAA anticipates that this 

regulation will not result in adverse or 

negative comments, and, therefore, 

issues it as a direct final rule. The FAA 

has determined that this rule 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 effective date. If the FAA 

receives, 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. The direct final rule 

is used in this case to facilitate the 

timing of the charting schedule and 

enhance the operation at the airport, 

while still allowing and requesting 

public comment on this rulemaking 

action. An electronic copy of this 

document may be downloaded from and 

comments submitted through http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Communications 

should identify both docket numbers 

and be submitted in triplicate to the 

address specified under the caption 

ADDRESSES above or through the 

website. 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. 

Recently published rulemaking 

documents can also be accessed through 

the FAA’s web page at http:// 

www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/ 

air_traffic/publications/ 

airspace_amendments/. 

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. 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. All comments submitted will be 

available, both before and after the 

closing date for comments, in the Rules 

Docket for examination by interested 

persons. Those 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. FAA–2009–0053; Airspace 

Docket No. 09–ASO–11.’’ The postcard 

will be date stamped and returned to the 

commenter. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14, Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

by modifying the Class D and E airspace 

descriptions at Aguadilla, PR to reflect 

the change to full-time operations of the 

Air Traffic Control Tower of the Rafael 


cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 47 / Thursday, March 12, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 10677 

Hernandez Airport. The reference used 

in the legal descriptions to impart a 

part-time operation of the Class D and 

E Airspace designated as an extension to 

Class D surface area (E4) is being 

removed. The Class E airspace 

designated as surface area for an airport 

(E2) will no longer be required since the 

Class D Airspace will be in effect 

continuously, thus, this amendment 

removes that E2 airspace associated 

with Aguadilla, PR. Controlled airspace 

extending upward from the surface of 

the Earth is required to encompass the 

airspace necessary for instrument 

approaches for aircraft operating under 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The 

current Class D and E4 airspace areas 

are sufficient for these approaches; no 

additional controlled airspace must be 

defined. Designations for Class D and E 

airspace areas extending upward from 

the surface of the Earth are published in 

FAA Order 7400.9S, signed October 3, 

2008, and effective October 31, 2008, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class D and E 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

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 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 only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore, (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, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 

40103. Under that section, the FAA is 

charged with prescribing regulations to 

assign the use of airspace necessary to 

ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority as 

it modifies controlled airspace at 

Aguadilla, PR.

33 CFR Part 402 

[Docket No. SLSDC 2009–0003] 

RIN 2135–AA29 

Tariff of Tolls 

AGENCY: Saint Lawrence Seaway 

Development Corporation, DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Saint Lawrence Seaway 

Development Corporation (SLSDC) and 

the St. Lawrence Seaway Management 

Corporation (SLSMC) of Canada, under 

international agreement, jointly publish 

and presently administer the St. 

Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls in their 

respective jurisdictions. The Tariff sets 

forth the level of tolls assessed on all 

commodities and vessels transiting the 

facilities operated by the SLSDC and the 

SLSMC. The SLSDC is revising its 

regulations to reflect the fees and 

charges levied by the SLSMC in Canada. 

The Tariff of Tolls became effective in 

Canada in 2008. For consistency, 

because these are, under international 

agreement, joint regulations, and to 

avoid confusion among users of the 

Seaway, the SLSDC finds that there is 

good cause to make this U.S. version of 

the amendments effective upon 

publication. (See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION.) 

DATES: This rule is effective on March 

12, 2009.
