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. The direct final rule 

is used in this case to facilitate the 

timing of the charting schedule and 

enhance the operation at the airport, 

while still allowing and requesting 

public comment on this rulemaking 

action. An electronic copy of this 

document may be downloaded from and 

comments submitted through 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amended or withdrawn in light of the 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. 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. 

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–2007–0161; Airspace 

Docket No. 07–ASO–25.’’ 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 New 

Albany, MS, providing the controlled 

airspace required to support new SIAPs 

that were developed for the New 

Albany-Union County Airport. No Class 

E5 airspace exists in the airport area, so 

controlled airspace must be developed. 

Controlled airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet Above Ground Level 

(AGL) is required to encompass all 

SIAPs to the extent practical, therefore, 

the FAA is amending Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to 

establish Class E5 airspace at New 

Albany, MS. 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. 

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 


yshivers on PROD1PC62 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 20 / Wednesday, January 30, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 5435 

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 establishes controlled airspace around 

the New Albany-Union County Airport.

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R05–OAR–2007–0183; FRL–8514–5] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Illinois; 

Revisions to Emission Reduction 

Market System 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: In 1997, Illinois adopted and 

submitted rules establishing a cap and 

trade program regulating emissions of 

volatile organic compounds (VOC). The 

program, known as the Emission 

Reduction Market System (ERMS), was 

designed to address VOC sources in the 

Chicago area with potential to emit at 

least 25 tons per year. Then, in 2004, the 

Chicago ozone nonattainment area was 

in effect reclassified from severe to 

moderate, which according to EPA 

guidance revised the applicable 

definition of major sources from 25 tons 

per year to 100 tons per year. This 

‘‘reclassification’’ could have resulted in 

the program no longer including sources 

with potential to emit more than 25 but 

less than 100 tons per year. Instead, 

Illinois adopted rule revisions, 

submitted to EPA on January 10, 2007, 

which required that these sources 

remain part of the program. Illinois’ rule 

revisions also address other 

ramifications of the ‘‘reclassification.’’

EPA is approving these rule revisions. 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective March 31, 2008, unless EPA
