Amendment of Class E Airspace; Waynesburg, PA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace area at Waynesburg, 
PA, to accommodate a new Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 
that has been developed for Green County Airport. As a result, 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level 
(AGL) will be expanded to contain the SIAP and other Instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) operations at Green County Airport. The operating status of 
the airport will change from Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to include IFR 
operations concurrent with the publication of the SIAP. A minor 
correction is also being made in the geographic position coordinates of 
the Green County Airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 5, 2008. The Director of the Federal 
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under Title 1, 
Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of 
FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 21, 2008, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying the Class E 
airspace area at Waynesburg, PA (73 FR 9504). The proposed action would 
provide additional controlled airspace to accommodate RNAV (GPS) 
approaches for Runway 09/27 at the Green County Airport. After 
publication, a minor error was discovered in the geographic coordinates 
of the airport. This action also corrects that error.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.

[[Page 28321]]

No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Class E airspace 
areas extending from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth 
are published in paragraphs 6005 of FAA Order 7400.96, signed August 
14, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The class airspace designation listed in this 
document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 to modify Class E airspace at Waynesburg, PA, by providing 
additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the RNAV (GPS) 
Runway 09/27 to the Green County Airport. This action also corrects the 
geographic position coordinates of the airport.
    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. 
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 the 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 Waynesburg, PA.
