Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 30, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
the FAA is amending Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to
establish additional Class E5 Airspace at
State College, PA. The current E5
airspace at State College does not
provide adequate airspace for this new
approach. This action provides the
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
part 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 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 establishes controlled airspace at

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. Commenters 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:
VerDate Aug<31>2005

‘‘Comments to Docket No. FAA–2007–

04.’’ 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
establishes Class E5 airspace at
Tappahannock, VA establishing the
controlled airspace required to support
the new RNAV GPS SIAPs at
Tappahannock-Essex County Airport,
Tappahannock, VA. The TappahannockEssex County Airport (new) has been
built to replace the Tappahannock
Municipal Airport at Tappahannock,
VA. Both airports will remain open for
most of 2008, after which
Tappahannock Municipal is scheduled
to close. Two Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) were
developed to serve this new airport.
Controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 feet Above Ground Level
(AGL) is required to contain the SIAPs
and for Instrument Flight Rule (IFR)
operations, therefore, the FAA is
amending Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish
Class E5 Airspace at Tappahannock,
VA. This action establishes the 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
part 71.1. The Class E designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
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 I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the

charged with prescribing regulations to

ensure the safety of aircraft and the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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. Commenters
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-
2007-29264; Airspace Docket No. 07-AEA-04.'' 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 establishes Class E5 airspace at Tappahannock, VA establishing
the controlled airspace required to support the new RNAV GPS SIAPs at
Tappahannock-Essex County Airport, Tappahannock, VA. The Tappahannock-
Essex County Airport (new) has been built to replace the Tappahannock
Municipal Airport at Tappahannock, VA. Both airports will remain open
for most of 2008, after which Tappahannock Municipal is scheduled to
close. Two Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) were
developed to serve this new airport. Controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is required to contain
the SIAPs and for Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations, therefore,
the FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part
71 to establish Class E5 Airspace at Tappahannock, VA. This action
establishes the 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 part 71.1. The Class E designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
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 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 establishes controlled airspace at Tappahannock-Essex County
Airport, Tappahannock, VA.
