SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 28, 2007, FSA and RMA 

published advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking for Cash and Share Lease 

Provisions for Future Farm Programs, in 

the Federal Register (72 FR 55105–

current regulations to determine the 

feasibility of developing a standardized 

regulation for defining various lease 

agreements. The advance notice of 

proposed rulemaking discussed the 

following: 

• Types of leases; 

• Current treatment of leases by FSA 

and CCC in provisions applicable to 

multiple programs; 

• CCC noninsured crop disaster 

assistance program (NAP) payments; 

• Ad hoc disaster payments; 

• Marketing assistance loans (MLA) 

and loan deficiency payment (LDP); 

• Cash-rent tenant rule; and 

• Impact on small and beginning 

producers. 

FSA and RMA believe the request for 

additional time to comment on the 

advance notice of proposed rulemaking 

is reasonable and will benefit the 

rulemaking process. As a result of 

reopening and extension, the comment 

period for this notice will close on 

January 17, 2008.

11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

Distribution System which describes the 

application procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR) part 71 by establishing a Class D 

airspace area extending upward from 

the surface to and including 2,700 feet 

MSL within a 4.1-mile radius of New 

Braunfels Municipal Airport, TX. The 

establishment of an air traffic control 

tower has made this action necessary. 

The intended effect of this proposal is 

to provide controlled airspace for flight 

operations at New Braunfels Municipal 

Airport, TX. The area would be depicted 

on appropriate aeronautical charts. 

Class D airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 

7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and 

effective September 15, 2007, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

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. 

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 the airspace necessary 

to ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

since it improves the safety of aircraft 

executing IFR procedures at New 

Braunfels Municipal Airport, TX.

Navigation (Air). 

The Proposed Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as 

follows:

1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of Federal Aviation 

Administration Order 7400.9R, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 15, 2007, and effective 

September 15, 2007, is amended as
