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 proposed
regulation 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. Communications
should identify both docket numbers
and be submitted in triplicate to the
address specified under the caption
ADDRESSES. 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this rule may be amended or withdrawn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.
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–2007–0023; Airspace
Docket No. 07–AEA–08.’’ 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
amends Class E airspace at Muncy, PA
establishing the required controlled
airspace to support the new RNAV
(GSP) helicopter Point in Space (PinS)
approach at Muncy Valley Hospital. A
new Copter RNAV (GPS) 240 Point in
Space (PinS) Special IAP serving the
Muncy valley Hospital has been
developed. Controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet Above
Ground Level (AGL) is required to
contain the IAP and for Instrument
Flight Rule (IFR) operations 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 Muncy, PA. The
controlled airspace around Muncy does
not adequately encompass the airspace
needed for this new approach. This
action provides that required controlled
airspace. Designations for Class E
airspace areas extending upward from
700 feet or more above the surface of the
PO 00000

Sfmt 4700
Earth are published in FAA Order
7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007
effective September 15, 2007, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
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
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 1, 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 1, 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 at
Muncy Valley Hospital, Muncy, PA.

Space (PinS) approach at Muncy Valley Hospital. A new Copter RNAV (GPS)
240 Point in Space (PinS) Special IAP serving the Muncy valley Hospital
has been developed. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet
Above Ground Level (AGL) is required to contain the IAP and for
Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations 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 Muncy, PA. The
controlled airspace around Muncy does not adequately encompass the
airspace needed for this new approach. This action provides that
required controlled airspace. 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 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
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 1, 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 1, 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 at Muncy Valley Hospital, Muncy,
PA.
