32734 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2001 / 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. 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this rule may be amended or withdrawn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. 01–ACE–6.’’ 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.

E airspace at Greensburg, PA. An Area

Navigation (RNAV), based on the Global

Positioning System (GPS), Helicopter

Point in Space Approach (GPS 029) at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On April 4, 2001 a notice proposing

to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2001 / Rules and Regulations 32735

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by

establishing Class E airspace extending

upward from 700 feet Above Ground

Level (AGL) for an RNAV, Helicopter

Point in Space Approach to the

Westmoreland Hospital Heliport,

Greensburg, PA was published in the

Federal Register (66 FR 17827–17828).

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA

on or before May 4, 2001. No comments

to the proposal were received. The rule

is adopted as proposed. The coordinates

for this airspace docket are based on

North American Datum 83.

Class E airspace areas designations for

airspace 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 amended in the order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) provides controlled Class E

airspace extending upward from 700

feet above the surface for aircraft

conducting Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR) operations at the Westmoreland

Hospital Heliport, Greensburg, PA.

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. 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

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On April 30, 2001, the FAA proposed

to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by

amending Class D airspace and

establishing Class E4 airspace at

Homestead, FL (66 FR 21296). Class D

airspace designations for airspace areas

extending upward from the surface of

the earth and Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

designated as an extension to a Class D

airspace area are published in

Paragraphs 5000 and 6004 respectively,

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 D

and Class E airspace designations listed

in this document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

were received.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) amends Class D airspace and

establishes Class E4 airspace at

Homestead, FL.

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

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
