Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing a new RNAV (GPS) approach procedure at Phifer Airfield, Wheatland, WY. 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. Therefore, this 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 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background and Purpose of Amendments Since 1995, SRBC has continued to suspend the application of its consumptive use regulation to agricultural water uses pending the implementation of a mitigation method that is more suited to agriculture’s unique circumstances. The Commission’s member states have taken definitive steps to support projects that will provide storage and release of water to mitigate agricultural water use in their jurisdictions and thus satisfy the standards for consumptive use mitigation set forth in 18 CFR 806.22. The final rulemaking will amend 18 CFR 806.4 (a)(1) to provide an exception for agricultural water use projects from the consumptive use review and approval requirements of 18 CFR 806.4 (a)(1) and (3), unless water is diverted for use beyond lands that are at least partially in the basin, and provided the Commission makes a determination that the state-sponsored projects are sufficient to meet the consumptive use mitigation standards contained in 18 CFR 806.22. A second amendment clarifies the definition of ‘‘agricultural water use’’ in 18 CFR 806.3, 806.4 and 806.6 by inserting the word ‘‘products’’ after the word ‘‘turf.’’ This will clarify that the maintenance of turf grass as part of a project or facility, such as a golf course, does not constitute an agricultural water use. Only the raising of turf products for sale such as sod would constitute an agricultural water use with this clarification. A third amendment corrects an error made as part of the December 5, 2006 rulemaking in the ‘‘Authority’’ citation to Part 808 by replacing the erroneous Sec. 3.5 (9) with the correct Sec. 3.4 (9).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On September 18, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at 
Wheatland, WY, (72 FR 53201). This action would improve the safety of 
IFR aircraft executing this new RNAV GPS SIAP approach procedure at 
Phifer Airfield, Wheatland, WY. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9R signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 
2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Wheatland, WY. Additional 
controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing 
a new RNAV (GPS) approach procedure at Phifer Airfield, Wheatland, WY.
    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. 
Therefore, this 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 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. 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 
additional controlled airspace at Phifer Airfield, Wheatland, WY.
