Docket No. 08–AEA–19] 

Modification of Class E Airspace; 

Rome, NY 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

Airspace at Rome, New York to support 

the amendment of the current Terminal 

Visual Flight Rule (VFR) Radar Service 

Area (TRSA) and to allow for a lower 

vectoring altitude known as the 

Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA) for 

vectoring of both VFR and Instrument 

Flight Rule (IFR) aircraft around the 

Rome, NY area. This action will 

enhance the safety and airspace 

management around the Griffiss Airport 

area. 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, 

November 20, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On January 1, 2007, the Oneida 

County Airport, Utica, NY was 

permanently closed and operations 

moved to the Griffiss Airfield. The local 

area Terminal VFR Radar Service Area 

(TRSA) is being revised and there is a 

requirement for the base of the TRSA to 

not be below the associated Class E 

airspace. A careful analysis of 

operations determined a need for 

additional Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

of the Earth to enhance the 

management, safety and efficiency of air 

traffic services in the area. This 

modification would satisfy that 

requirement. 

On May 8, 2008, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

establish additional Class E airspace at 

Griffiss Airfield (73 FR 26047). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on this 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

objecting to the proposal were received, 

and the rule is being promulgated as 

proposed. 

Designations for Class E Airspace 

designations for airspace areas 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the Earth are 

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007, 

and effective September 15, 2007, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) modifies Class E airspace at 

Rome, NY. To provide for a lower MVA 

in the Rome, NY, area for VFR and IFR 

operations, it establishes Class E 

airspace upward from 700 feet above the 

surface of the Earth within a 15-mile 

radius of Griffiss Airfield and within a 

26-mile radius of the airport to the 

southeast and south of the airport. 

The FAA has determined that this 

final rule only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. 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 

modifies Class E airspace at Rome, NY.

Cutoff Dates for Recognition of 

Boundary Changes for the 2010 

Census 

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Final Rule. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census 

(Census Bureau) is amending its 

regulations to establish cutoff dates for 

the recognition of boundary changes for 

the 2010 Census. This amendment is 

necessary, as the existing cutoff dates 

are out of date. Upon effectiveness of 

this rule, the Census Bureau will 

recognize only those boundaries legally 

in effect on January 1, 2010, that have 

been reported officially to the Census 

Bureau no later than March 1, 2010. 

DATES: This rule is effective on August 

11, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Daniel H. Weinberg, Acting Chief, 

Geography Division, U.S. Census 

Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–7400, 

telephone (301) 763–2131, or e-mail 

geo.bas@census.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Census Bureau is amending 15 CFR part 

70 to establish cutoff dates for 

recognition of boundary changes made 

through the Boundary and Annexation 

Survey (BAS) for the 2010 Census, the 

American Community Survey (ACS), 

and the Population Estimates Program. 

The cutoff dates were last established 

for Census 2000 on March 3, 1998 (63 

FR 10303). Those cutoff dates are out of 

date; therefore, the Census Bureau 

amends its regulations to update the 

cutoff dates for the 2010 Census. For the 

2010 Census, the Census Bureau will 

recognize only those boundaries legally 

in effect on January 1, 2010, that have 

been reported officially to the Census 

Bureau no later than March 1, 2010. To 

implement this change, the Census 

Bureau changes the name of the census 

from ‘‘Census 2000’’ to ‘‘2010 Census’’

and the reference year from 2000 to 

2010 throughout its regulations. 

The reporting deadline for the BAS is 

usually April 1 of each year. However, 

to ensure the timely and official 

reporting of legal boundary changes for 

the 2010 Census, and subsequent data 

dissemination and tabulation activities, 

we establish the above-referenced 

deadlines. The BAS 2009 reporting 

deadline will be March 1, 2009, and the 

BAS 2010 reporting deadline will be 

March 1, 2010. 

In addition, the Census Bureau 

amends § 70.2 to remove and update the 

reference publication that provides 

information on the definition of 

‘‘municipality’’ and ‘‘county 

subdivision.’’ The reference to the 1990 

Census of Population, Volume 1, 

General Population Characteristics, 

1990 CP–1–1, Appendix A, is replaced 

with a reference to the Census 2000 

Geographic Terms and Concepts, 

Appendix A. 

Rulemaking Requirements 

Administrative Procedure Act 

The Census Bureau finds good cause 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive notice 

and comment requirements of the 

Administrative Procedure Act because it 

is unnecessary and contrary to the 

public interest. This amendment is 

necessary to establish the cutoff date for 

recognition of boundary changes for the 

2010 Census and to update an obsolete 

citation to a reference publication. Upon 

implementation of this final rule for the 

2010 Census, the Census Bureau will 

recognize only those boundaries legally 

in effect on January 1, 2010, that have 

been reported officially to the Census 

Bureau no later than March 1, 2010. 

This change does not impact the rights 

or obligations of any entity. This change 

merely establishes the last date on 

which the Census Bureau will accept 

changes to the legal boundaries used by 

the Census Bureau to conduct the data 

tabulation for the decennial census. In 

addition, this rule updates the reference 

that provides information on the 

definition of ‘‘municipality’’ and 

‘‘county subdivision.’’

The Census Bureau finds good cause 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) to waive the 30- 

day delay in effectiveness. As stated 

above, this amendment is necessary to 

establish the cutoff date for recognition 

of boundary changes for the decennial 

census and to update an obsolete 

citation to a reference publication. This 

change does not impact the rights or 

obligations of any entity. This change 

merely establishes the last date on 

which the Census Bureau will accept 

changes to the legal boundaries used by 

the Census Bureau to conduct the data 

tabulation for the decennial census, and 

to update a reference publication that 

provides information on the definition 

of ‘‘municipality’’ and ‘‘county 

subdivision.’’ Therefore, the Census 

Bureau makes this final rule effective 

immediately upon publication. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Because a notice of proposed 

rulemaking and an opportunity for 

comment are not required by 5 U.S.C. 

553 or any other law, a Regulatory 

Flexibility Analysis is not required and 

has not been prepared (5 U.S.C. 603(a)). 

Executive Orders 

This rule has been determined to be 

not significant for purposes of Executive 

Order 12866. This rule does not contain 

policies with federalism implications, as 

that term is defined in Executive Order 

13132. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This final rule does not represent a 

collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35.
