SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes 
a Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface of Santa Teresa, NM in conjunction with the Dona Ana County 
Airport for which a new standard instrument approach has been 
prescribed and will be published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9M, dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

    The FAA anticipates that this regulation will not result in an 
adverse or negative comment, and, therefore, issues it as a direct 
final rule. 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. 
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. 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 an 
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. Communications must identify both 
docket numbers. 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withdrawn in light of the comments received.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 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.

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, 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. I certify 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.
