ACTION: Final rule. rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: This action will remove the Class D, E2, E4, and E5 airspace at Utica, NY, and amend the Class D and E2 airspace at Rome, NY. This action will also establish Class E5 airspace at Rome, NY. The Oneida County Airport, Utica, NY, is permanently closed and no longer operational, moving aircraft operations to Griffiss Airfield, Rome, NY. The closure necessitates the removal of all Class D and E airspace at Utica, NY. Subsequently, this action amends the Class D and E2 airspace at Rome, NY, published in the Federal Register on January 25, 2007, (72 FR 3365) but not charted due to inaccuracies in the legal descriptions. This action will also establish Class E5 airspace at Rome, NY, to replace the VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:45 Sep 06, 2007 Jkt 211001 Class E5 airspace being removed at Utica, NY. Class D surface area airspace is required when the control tower is open to contain Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and other Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. Class E2 surface area airspace is required when the control tower is closed to contain SIAPs and other IFR operations at the airport. Class E5 airspace extends upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) and is required to contain SIAPs and other IFR operations at the airport. This action will amend Class D airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 3,000 feet MSL within an 8.4mile radius and Class E2 airspace within an 8.4-mile radius of the Griffiss Airfield. This action will also establish Class E5 airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 10.9 mile radius of Griffiss Airfield and within 5 miles each side of the Griffiss Airfield ILS localizer northwest course from the 10.9-mile radius to 15 miles northwest of Griffiss Airfield and within a 26-mile radius of the airport extending clockwise from a 125° bearing to 200° bearing from the airport. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, October 25, 2007. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR, part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Ward, Manager, System Support, Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone (404) 305–5586. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On January 1, 2007, the Oneida County Airport, Utica, NY, was permanently closed and airport operations terminated. The closure, therefore, requires the removal of all Class D and E airspace at Utica, NY. Subsequently, operations were moved to Griffiss Airfield, Rome, NY, and Class D and E2 airspace areas were established. An amendment is required to correct errors in the legal description of the Class D and E airspace which has prevented the airspace from being charted. Establishment of Class E5 airspace at Rome, NY, is required to replace the Class E5 airspace being removed at Utica, NY. This rule becomes effective on the date specified in the ‘‘Effective Date’’ section. Since this action eliminates the impact of controlled airspace on users of airspace in the vicinity of Utica, NY, and has no PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 51357 significant impact on the users of the airspace in the vicinity of the Griffiss Airfield, Rome, NY, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are not necessary. Designations for Class D and E Surface Area Airspace, Class E Airspace Areas D Surface Area, and Class E Airspace Areas Extending Upward from 700 feet or More Above the Surface of the Earth are published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005 respectively 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 D and Class E airspace designations 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) removes Class D, E2, E4, and E5 airspace at Utica, NY, amends Class D, and E2 airspace at Rome, NY, and establishes Class E5 airspace at Rome, NY. 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 will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Removal of Class D and E Airspace; Utica, NY; Amendment of Class 
D and E Airspace; Rome, NY; Establishment of Class E Airspace; Rome, NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action will remove the Class D, E2, E4, and E5 airspace 
at Utica, NY, and amend the Class D and E2 airspace at Rome, NY. This 
action will also establish Class E5 airspace at Rome, NY. The Oneida 
County Airport, Utica, NY, is permanently closed and no longer 
operational, moving aircraft operations to Griffiss Airfield, Rome, NY. 
The closure necessitates the removal of all Class D and E airspace at 
Utica, NY. Subsequently, this action amends the Class D and E2 airspace 
at Rome, NY, published in the Federal Register on January 25, 2007, (72 
FR 3365) but not charted due to inaccuracies in the legal descriptions. 
This action will also establish Class E5 airspace at Rome, NY, to 
replace the Class E5 airspace being removed at Utica, NY. Class D 
surface area airspace is required when the control tower is open to 
contain Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and other 
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. Class E2 
surface area airspace is required when the control tower is closed to 
contain SIAPs and other IFR operations at the airport. Class E5 
airspace extends upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) and is 
required to contain SIAPs and other IFR operations at the airport. This 
action will amend Class D airspace extending upward from the surface to 
and including 3,000 feet MSL within an 8.4-mile radius and Class E2 
airspace within an 8.4-mile radius of the Griffiss Airfield. This 
action will also establish Class E5 airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface within a 10.9 mile radius of Griffiss Airfield 
and within 5 miles each side of the Griffiss Airfield ILS localizer 
northwest course from the 10.9-mile radius to 15 miles northwest of 
Griffiss Airfield and within a 26-mile radius of the airport extending 
clockwise from a 125[deg] bearing to 200[deg] bearing from the airport.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, October 25, 2007. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
1 CFR, part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 1, 2007, the Oneida County Airport, Utica, NY, was 
permanently closed and airport operations terminated. The closure, 
therefore, requires the removal of all Class D and E airspace at Utica, 
NY. Subsequently, operations were moved to Griffiss Airfield, Rome, NY, 
and Class D and E2 airspace areas were established. An amendment is 
required to correct errors in the legal description of the Class D and 
E airspace which has prevented the airspace from being charted. 
Establishment of Class E5 airspace at Rome, NY, is required to replace 
the Class E5 airspace being removed at Utica, NY. This rule becomes 
effective on the date specified in the ``Effective Date'' section. 
Since this action eliminates the impact of controlled airspace on users 
of airspace in the vicinity of Utica, NY, and has no significant impact 
on the users of the airspace in the vicinity of the Griffiss Airfield, 
Rome, NY, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are not 
necessary. Designations for Class D and E Surface Area Airspace, Class 
E Airspace Areas D Surface Area, and Class E Airspace Areas Extending 
Upward from 700 feet or More Above the Surface of the Earth are 
published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005 respectively 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 D 
and Class E airspace designations 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) removes Class D, E2, E4, and E5 airspace at Utica, NY, 
amends Class D, and E2 airspace at Rome, NY, and establishes Class E5 
airspace at Rome, NY.
    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 will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
