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 rule 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. An electronic copy 

of this document may be downloaded 

from and comments may be submitted 

and reviewed at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Communications 

should identify both docket numbers 

and be submitted in triplicate to the 

address specified under the caption 

ADDRESSES above or through the Web 

site. 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amended or withdrawn in light of the 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. Those 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–2007–0274; Airspace 

Docket No. 07–AEA–14.’’ 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 E airspace at 

Lewistown, PA providing the controlled 

airspace required to support the new 

Copter Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) 247 Point in 

Space (PinS) approach developed for 

the Lewistown Hospital Heliport. 

Although Class E airspace exists in the 

area, it is insufficient for this approach 

which will serve medical Lifeguard 

flights. Controlled airspace, known as 

class E5 Airspace, extending upward 

from 700 feet Above Ground Level 

(AGL) is required to encompass, to the 

extent practical, all Instrument 

Approach Procedures (IAPs) and 

Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations, 

therefore, the FAA is amending Title 14, 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

part 71 to establish a 6-mile radius Class 

E5 airspace area at Lewistown, PA. 

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 

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 

‘‘signifcant 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 to 

serve the Lewistown Hospital Heliport 

in Lewistown, PA.

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes Class E airspace at 

Marienville, PA, providing the 

controlled airspace required to support 

the new Copter RNAV (GPS) 047 Point 

in Space (PinS) instrument approach 

developed for the East Marien High 

School Heliport. In today’s environment 

where speed of treatment for medical 

injuries is imperative, various landing 

sites have been developed for helicopter 

medical Lifeguard flights or Lifeflights. 

The East Marien High School has been 

chosen as one of these sites. Controlled 

airspace, known as Class E5 airspace, 

extending upward from 700 feet Above 

Ground Level (AGL) is required for IFR 

operations and to encompass all IAPs to 

the extent practical; therefore, the FAA 

is amending Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 

a 6-mile Class E5 airspace area at 

Marienville, PA. 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.
