61294 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 30, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

the FAA is amending Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to 

establish additional Class E5 Airspace at 

State College, PA. The current E5 

airspace at State College does not 

provide adequate airspace for this new 

approach. This action provides the 

required controlled airspace. 

Designations for Class E airspace areas 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the Earth are 

published in FAA Order 7400.9R, 

signed August 15, 2007 effective 

September 15, 2007, 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. 

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 establishes controlled airspace at 

Centre Community Hospital, State 

College, PA.

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 proposed 

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 

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. Communications 

should identify both docket numbers 

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. 

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. 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. FAA–2007–

29264; Airspace Docket No. 07–AEA–

04.’’ The postcard will be date stamped 

and returned to the commenter. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes Class E5 airspace at 

Tappahannock, VA establishing the 

controlled airspace required to support 

the new RNAV GPS SIAPs at 

Tappahannock-Essex County Airport, 

Tappahannock, VA. The TappahannockEssex County Airport (new) has been 

built to replace the Tappahannock 

Municipal Airport at Tappahannock, 

VA. Both airports will remain open for 

most of 2008, after which 

Tappahannock Municipal is scheduled 

to close. Two Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAPs) were 

developed to serve this new airport. 

Controlled airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet Above Ground Level 

(AGL) is required to contain the SIAPs 

and for Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) 

operations, therefore, the FAA is 

amending Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 

Class E5 Airspace at Tappahannock, 

VA. This action establishes the required 

controlled airspace. Designations for 

Class E airspace areas extending upward 

from 700 feet or more above the surface 

of the Earth are published in FAA Order 

7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007 

effective September 15, 2007, 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. 

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

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E airspace at St. Marys, 

PA establishing the controlled airspace 

required to support the new RNAV 

helicopter Point in Space (PinS) 

approach at Elk Regional Medical 

Center. A new Copter RNAV 095 Point 

in Space (PinS) Special IAP serving the 

Elk Regional Medical Center has been 

developed. Controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet Above 

Ground Level (AGL) is required to 

encompass the IAP and for Instrument 

Flight Rule (IFR) operations, therefore, 

the FAA is amending Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to 

establish additional Class E5 Airspace at 

St. Marys, PA. The current E5 airspace 

at St. Marys does not provide adequate 

airspace for this new approach. This 

action provides the required controlled 

airspace. Designations for Class E 

airspace areas extending upward from 

700 feet or more above the surface of the 

Earth are published in FAA Order 

7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007

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
