airspace designations listed in this 

document would be published

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Friday, December 22, 2006, the 

FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 

Potosi, MO (71 FR 76954). The proposal 

was to establish a Class E5 airspace area 

to bring Potosi, MO airspace into 


ycherry on PROD1PC64 with RULES
8268 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 37 / Monday, February 26, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

compliance with FAA directives. 

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 rule amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations part 71 by 

establishing a Class E airspace area 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Potosi Washington County 

Airport, MO. The establishment of Area 

Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 

System (GPS) Instrument Approach 

Procedures (IAP) to Runways 2 and 20 

have made this action necessary. The 

intended effect of this action is to 

provide adequate controlled airspace for 

Instrument Flight Rules operations at 

Potosi Washington County Airport, MO. 

The area will be depicted on 

appropriate aeronautical charts. 

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 7400.9P, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, dated September 1, 2006, and 

effective September 15, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. of the same Order. The Class E 

airspace designation listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

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. Therefore, this regulation—(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 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 contains aircraft executing 

instrument approach procedures to 

Potosi Washington County Airport, MO.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Office of the Secretary 

14 CFR Part 382 

Guidance Concerning the Carriage of 

Service Animals in Air Transportation 

Into the United Kingdom 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of guidance concerning 

the carriage of service animals in air 

transportation from the United States to 

the United Kingdom. 

SUMMARY: This notice publishes 

guidance concerning the carriage of 

service animals in air transportation 

from the United States (U.S.) to the 

United Kingdom (U.K.). These 

guidelines address the differences 

between U.K. laws regulating the 

transport of service animals on flights 

into the U.K. and U.S. law with respect 

to the carriage of service animals in air 

transportation. U.K. laws affecting the 

transport of service animals in air travel 

differ significantly from the 

requirements of the Air Carrier Access 

Act (ACAA), 49 U.S.C. 41705, and its 

implementing regulation in 14 CFR Part 

382, resulting in uncertainty for carriers 

and persons with disabilities about the 

requirements that apply on flights into 

or transiting the U.K. 

The purpose of this guidance 

document is to assist U.S. and foreign 

carriers, as well as passengers with 

disabilities, in complying with both U.S. 

and U.K. regulations concerning the 

transport of service animals on flights 

from the U.S. to the U.K. by: (1) 

Explaining the procedures passengers 

must follow to comply with the U.K.’s 

Pet Travel Scheme (PETS); (2) 

explaining the procedures U.S. and 

foreign carriers must follow to obtain an 

approved Required Method of Operation 

(RMOP) from the U.K.’s Department for 

Environment Food and Rural Affairs 

(DEFRA); and (3) notifying both U.S. 

and foreign carriers operating flights 

between the U.S. and the U.K. that 

failure to obtain an approved RMOP 

from DEFRA will be considered a 

violation of the ACAA and may subject 

such carriers to enforcement action by 

the U.S. DOT. 

ADDRESSES: This guidance document is 

available on the Department’s Web site 

at http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/ and 

future updates or revisions will also be 

posted there. Questions regarding this 

notice may be addressed to the Office of 

the Assistant General Counsel for 

Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings, 

C–70, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Room 

4116, Washington, DC 20590.

Kathleen Blank Riether, Attorney, Office 

of the Assistant General Counsel for 

Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings,

Introduction 

Service animals perform many tasks 

to improve the quality of life and 

independence of persons with 

disabilities. Accordingly, the ability to 

travel with a service animal is critically 

important to those passengers who rely 

on them to assist with their disabilities.
