SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On November 28, 2006 a notice proposing to amend Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by establishing Class D airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 3,200 feet MSL within a 4.5 mile radius of the Griffiss Airfield, Rome, NY, was published in the Federal Register.

No public comments have ever been received upon publishing an NPRM in past years. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective in less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 28, 2006 a notice proposing to amend Part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by establishing Class E-2 
airspace extending upward from the surface to the base of the overlying 
controlled airspace within a 4.5 mile radius of the Griffiss Airfield, 
Rome, NY, was published in the Federal Register. Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written 
comments on the Proposal to the FAA on or before December 29, 2006. No 
comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as 
proposed. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83.

The Rule

    This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) provides controlled Class E-2 airspace at Griffiss AFB, 
Rome, NY. The opening of a tower and for the protection of Instrument 
Approaches makes this action necessary. Controlled airspace extending 
upward from the surface to the base of the overlying controlled 
airspace is needed to accommodate the SIAPs. That airspace would extend 
from the surface to the base of the overlying controlled airspace 
within a 4.5 mile radius of the Griffiss Airfield, Rome, NY, and within 
2 miles each side of bearing 135[deg]/315[deg] from a point at Lat 
43[deg]14.02' N, Long 75[deg]24.25' W, extending from the 4.5 mile 
radius zone, to a point 10.5 miles NW and 10.5 miles SE of the airport. 
The class E-2 airspace area would be effective during the specific 
dates and times established in advance by a notice to airmen. The 
effective date and time would thereafter be continuously published in 
the Airport/Facility Directory. Class E-2 airspace designations for 
airspace areas extending upward from the surface of the earth are 
published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9P, dated September 1, 
2006, and effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E-2 airspace designation listed in 
this document would be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore, this proposed regulation, (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 would only affect air traffic procedures 
and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule would not 
have significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
