8266 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 37 / Monday, February 26, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying the Class D airspace area for 

Luke Air Force Base, AZ. This 

modification is necessary to contain and 

protect circling maneuvers for Category 

E aircraft executing these maneuvers in 

conjunction with Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at the 

airport. This action modifies the 

existing LUF Class D airspace to extend 

upward from the surface to, but not 

including, 4000 feet mean sea level 

(MSL) and within a 5.6-mile radius of 

Luke AFB from a point intersecting the 

northwest portion of the Goodyear Class 

D airspace clockwise to a point 

intersecting the northern portion of the 

Glendale Class D airspace; and within a 

4.4 mile radius of Luke AFB from the 

intersection of the southern portion of 

the Glendale Class D airspace clockwise 

to the intersection of the Goodyear Class 

D airspace; and excluding that portion 

within the Glendale, AZ, and Goodyear, 

AZ Class D airspace areas. 

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. Therefor, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation 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: This 

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies 

the Class E airspace area extending 

upward from 700 feet AGL (E5) at Peru, 

Illinois Valley Regional-Walter A. 

Duncan Field, IL. The northwest 

extension to the E5 airspace area is 

deleted and the reference to the Valley 

NDB is removed from the legal 

description. This modification brings 

the legal description of the Peru, Illinois 

Valley Regional-Walter A. Duncan 

Field, IL Class E5 airspace area into 

compliance with FAA Orders 7400.2F 

and 8260.19C. Class E airspace areas 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the earth are 

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

The Direct Final Rule Procedure 

The FAA anticipates that this 

regulation would not result in adverse 

or negative comment and, therefore, is 

issuing it as a direct final rule. Previous 

actions of this nature have not been 

controversial and have not resulted in 

adverse comments or objections. 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 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 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 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting such written data, views, or 

arguments, as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers and be submitted in 

triplicate to the address listed above. 

Commenters wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

on this notice must submit with those 

comments a self-addressed, stamped 

postcard on which the following 

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to 

Docket No. FAA–2007–27110/Airspace 

Docket No. 07–AGL–1.’’ The postcard 

will be date/time stamped and returned 

to the commenter. 

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 

determined that this final rule does not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation is noncontroversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. For the reasons discussed in 

the preamble, 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) if 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

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 contains aircraft executing 

instrument approach procedures in 

Peru, Illinois Valley Regional-Walter A. 

Duncan Field, IL.
