8596 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 31 / Thursday, February 14, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 

practical. Therefore, the FAA is 

amending part 71 of Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 71), to 

establish a 6-mile radius Class E5 

airspace at Seneca, 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 

‘‘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. 

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 established controlled airspace near 

the UPMC Northwest Heliport in 

Seneca, PA.

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 


ebenthall on PRODPC61 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 31 / Thursday, February 14, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 8597 

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. Recently 

published rulemaking documents can 

also be accessed through the FAA’s Web 

page at http://www.faa.gov or the 

Federal Register’s Web page at http:// 

www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html. 

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–2007–0278; Airspace 

Docket No. 07–AEA–18.’’ 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 Cranberry 

Township, PA providing the controlled 

airspace required to support the new 

Copter Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) 304 Point in 

Space (PinS) approach developed for 

the UPMC Passavant-Cranberry 

Heliport. In today’s environment where 

speed of treatment for medical injuries 

is imperative, landing sites have been 

developed for helicopter medical 

Lifeguard flights or Lifeflights at the 

local hospitals. Controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet Above 

Ground Level (AGL) is required for 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

and to encompass all Instrument 

Approach Procedures (IAPs) to the 

extent practical. Therefore, the FAA is 

amending part 71 of Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to 

establish a 6-mile radius Class E5 

airspace at Cranberry Township, 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

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

At the request of the U.S. Marine 

Corps, the FAA is amending 14 CFR 

part 73 to update the designated using 

agencies for restricted areas R–5303A, B, 

and C; R–5304A, B, and C; and R–

5306A, C, D, and E in North Carolina. 

This action is the result of 

organizational realignments by the 

Marine Corps. 

Section 73.53 of Title 14 CFR part 73 

was republished in FAA Order 7400.8N, 

effective February 16, 2007. 

The Rule 

This action amends the names of the 

using agencies for the above restricted 

areas to replace the title ‘‘Commanding 

General’’ with ‘‘Commanding Officer,’’

and reflect the current division of 

airspace responsibilities between 

Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, 

NC, and Marine Corps Base Camp 

Lejeune, NC. This is an administrative 

change to reflect current organizational 

titles and geographic responsibilities. 

The change does not alter the 

boundaries, designated altitudes, time of 

designation, or activities conducted 

within the restricted areas. Therefore, 

notice and public procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

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 Department of 

Transportation (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 the 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 amends restricted areas in North 

Carolina. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with 311d., 

FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures.’’ This 

airspace action is not expected to cause 

any potentially significant 

environmental impacts, and no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
