Disaster Relief to Small Business 

Concerns Damaged by Drought 

AGENCY: Small Business Administration 

(SBA). 

ACTION: Interim final rule: Notice of 

reopening of the comment period. 

SUMMARY: On December 15, 2006 SBA 

published in the Federal Register an 

interim final rule on disaster relief to 

small business concerns damaged by 

drought (71 FR 75407). This interim 

final rule made revisions to the SBA 

economic injury disaster loans available 

to small businesses that have been 

adversely affected by drought, or by 

below average water levels in any body 

of water that supports commerce by 

small business concerns. The original 

comment period was from December 15, 

2006 through January 16, 2007. SBA is 

reopening the comment period until 

March 9, 2007 because SBA believes 

that affected parties need more time to 

adequately respond. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

interim final rule published on 

December 15, 2006 (71 FR 75407) is 

reopened through March 9, 2007.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E5

Beacon (NDB) Runway 28, Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 

to Covington Municipal Airport, 

Covington, GA. Additional controlled 

airspace extending upward from 700

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 7, 2006, the FAA 

proposed to amend part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) by amending Class E5 airspace 

at Covington, GA, (71 FR 70911). This 

action provides adequate Class E5 

airspace for IFR operations at Covington 

Municipal Airport, Covington, GA. 

Designations for Class E are published 

in FAA Order 7400.9P, dated September 

1, 2006, and effective September 15, 

2006, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class 

E 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 E5 airspace at 

Covington, GA. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Tuesday, November 28, 2006, the 

FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) to revise Class E airspace 

upward from 700 ft. above the surface 

at Mekoryuk, AK (71 FR 68769). The 

action was proposed in order to create 

Class E airspace sufficient in size to 

contain aircraft while executing three 

new SIAPs, two amended SIAPs and 

one amended DP for the Mekoryuk 

Airport. The new approaches are (1) The 

Area Navigation (Global Positioning 

System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 

05, Original, (2) the RNAV (GPS) RWY 

23, Original and (3) the Non-directional 

Beacon (NDB) B, Original. The two 

amended SIAPs are (1) the NDB/ 

Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) 

A, Amendment (Amdt) 4 and (2) the 

Direction Finding (DF) RWY 23, Amdt 

1. The DF approach is not published 

and is used by Flight Service Station 

staff to aid pilots in emergencies. DP’s 

are unnamed and are published in the 

front of the U.S. Terminal Procedures 

for Alaska. Class E controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 ft. above the 

surface in the Mekoryuk Airport area is 

revised by this action. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments have 

been received, thus the rule is adopted 

as proposed. 

The area will be depicted on 

aeronautical charts for pilot reference. 

The coordinates for this airspace docket 

are based on North American Datum 83. 

The Class E airspace areas designated as 

700/1,200 ft. transition areas are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated September 

1, 2006, and effective September 15, 

2006, 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 Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

revises Class E airspace at the Mekoryuk 

Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is 

revised to accommodate aircraft 

executing three new SIAPs, two 

amended SIAPs, and one amended DP, 

and will be depicted on aeronautical 

charts for pilot reference. The intended 

effect of this rule is to provide adequate 

controlled airspace for Instrument Flight 

Rule (IFR) operations at the Mekoryuk 

Airport, Mekoryuk, Alaska. 

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. 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 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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle 1, 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 1, section 

40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace. 

Under that section, the FAA is charged 

with prescribing regulations to ensure 

the safe and efficient use of the 

navigable airspace. This regulation is 

within the scope of that authority 

because it creates Class E airspace 

sufficient in size to contain aircraft 

executing instrument procedures for the 

Mekoryuk Airport and represents the 

FAA’s continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.
