all prune handlers. Finally, the proposal 

was made available through the Internet 

by USDA and the Office of the Federal 

Register. A 20-day comment period 

ending September 27, 2007, was 

provided to allow interested persons to 

respond to the proposal. No comments 

were received. 

A small business guide on complying 

with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop 

marketing agreements and orders may 

be viewed at: http://www.ams.usda.gov/

compliance guide should be sent to Jay 

Guerber at the previously mentioned 

address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section. 

After consideration of all relevant 

material presented, including the 

information and recommendation 

submitted by the Committee and other 

available information, it is hereby found 

that this rule, as hereinafter set forth, 

will tend to effectuate the declared 

policy of the Act. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, it also found 

and determined that good cause exists 

for not postponing the effective date of 

this rule until 30 days after publication 

in the Federal Register because the 

2007–08 crop year began on August 1, 

2007, and the marketing order requires 

that the rate of assessment for each year 

apply to all assessable prunes handled 

during the year; and handlers are 

already receiving 2007–08 crop prunes 

from growers. The Committee needs to 

have sufficient funds to meet its 

expenses which are incurred on a 

continuous basis. Further, handlers are 

aware of this rule which was which was 

unanimously recommended at a public 

meeting. Also, a 20-day comment period 

was provided for in the proposed rule 

and no comments were received.

which revises Class E airspace at Fort 

Scott, KS and corrects the coordinates of 

the Fort Scott Nondirectional Beacon 

(NDB). 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, 

December 20, 2007. The Director of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

published this direct final rule with a 

request for comments in the Federal 

Register on Friday, August 10, 2007 (72 

FR 44954). The FAA uses the direct 

final rulemaking procedure for a noncontroversial rule where the FAA 

believes that there will be no adverse 

public comment. This direct final rule 

advised the public that no adverse 

comments were anticipated, and that 

unless a written adverse comment, or a 

written notice of intent of submit such 

an adverse comment, were received 

within the comment period, the 

regulation would become effective on 

December 20, 2007. No adverse 

comments were received, and thus this 

notice confirms that this direct final rule 

will become effective on that date. 

Class E airspace areas extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface of the earth are published in 

Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9R, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, signed August 15, 2007, and 

effective September 15, 2007, 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. 

Correction to Final Rule 

In the description of the airspace 

contained in the direct final rule, the 

coordinates of the Fort Scott NDB were 

incorrectly published. This action 

makes this editorial correction, which 

does not change the airspace 

configuration. The FAA is republishing 

the entire airspace description. 

■ Accordingly, pursuant to the authority 

delegated to me, the airspace published 

in the Federal Register, Friday, August 

10, 2007 (72 FR 44954), Airspace Docket 

No. 07–ACE–8, page 44955 is corrected 

as follows:

That airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 7.0-mile 

radius of Fort Scott Municipal Airport and 

within 2.6 miles each side of the 350° bearing
