DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 60 [Docket No. FAA–2002–12461; Amendment No. 60–3] RIN 2120–AJ12 Flight Simulation Training Device Initial and Continuing Qualification and Use Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Notice of issuance and availability of final rule. AGENCY: mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with RULES SUMMARY: This document announces the availability of the final rule entitled Flight Simulation Training Device Initial and Continuing Qualification and Use, which went on public inspection at the Office of the Federal Register April 30, 2008, and will be published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2008. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical questions concerning this document or the final rule, contact Edward Cook, Air Transportation Division (AFS–200), Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 100 Hartsfield Centre Parkway, Suite 400, Atlanta, GA 30354; telephone: 404–832–4700; e-mail: Edward.D.Cook@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion On April 17, 2008, the FAA issued a final rule entitled Flight Simulation Training Device Initial and Continuing VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:50 Apr 29, 2008 Jkt 214001 Qualification and Use. The effective date of the final rule is May 30, 2008. The final rule amends the Qualification Performance Standards (QPS) appendices for flight simulation training devices (FSTD) to provide greater harmonization with international standards for simulation. In addition, the rule adds a new level of simulation for helicopter flight training devices (FTD) and establishes FSTD Directive 1, which requires all existing FSTD airport models that are beyond the number of airport models required for qualification to meet specified requirements. The intended effect of the rule is to ensure that the flight training and testing environment is accurate and realistic. Except for the requirements of FSTD Directive 1, the technical requirements contained in the final rule do not apply to simulators qualified before May 30, 2008. The final rule results in minimal to no cost increases for manufacturers and sponsors. The final rule will go on public display at the Office of the Federal Register on April 30, 2008, and will be published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2008. Beginning April 30, 2008, the full text of the final rule is available for review at https://www.faa.gov, under the Recently Published Rulemaking Documents section, https://www.faa.gov/ regulations_policies/rulemaking/ recently_published/. The FAA has determined that the effective date of the final rule amending the QPS appendices should be May 30, 2008. Part 60 has been available to the public for review for over 1 year. The revisions to the QPS appendices of Part 60 reflect international standards that have been in existence for more than 4 years. Further, when the FAA delayed the effective date to Part 60, we also delayed the compliance dates of certain sections of the rule to provide adequate time for transition. Because of the notice provided and delayed compliance dates of certain sections, the FAA has determined that delaying the effective date of the final rule amending the QPS appendices is not required.

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. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Confirmation of Effective Date The FAA published this direct final rule with a request for comments in the Federal Register on February 21, 2008 (73 FR 9448) to establish Class E airspace at Dover-Foxcroft, ME. The FAA uses the direct final rulemaking procedure for a non-controversial rule where the FAA believes that there will be no adverse public comment. This direct final rule advised the public that no adverse comments were anticipated, and that unless a written adverse comment, or a written notice of intent to submit such an adverse comment, were received within the comment period, the regulation would become effective on June 5, 2008. No adverse comments were received, and thus this notice confirms that effective date. Correction to Final Rule After publication in the Federal Register, it was discovered that the word heliport was omitted from the name of the hospital and was incorrectly published as ‘‘Mayo Regional Hospital’’. The name should have read ‘‘Mayo Regional Hospital Heliport’’. This action corrects that error. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the name for Mayo Regional Hospital, Dover- E:\FR\FM\30APR1.SGM 30APR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On January 29, 2008, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace 
at Centre, AL, (73 FR 5135). This action will provide adequate Class E 
airspace for IFR operations at the new airport, Centre-Piedmont 
Cherokee County Airport (PYP), supporting the Area Navigation (RNAV) 
Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures 
(SIAPs) developed for Runways (RWY) 07-25. Airspace supporting Centre 
Municipal Airport (C22) is no longer required and through this action 
will be removed. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas 
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth 
are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9R, signed August 15, 
2007, and effective September 15, 2007,

[[Page 23322]]

which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received.

The Rule

    The amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 establishes Class E airspace at Centre, AL, to provide 
controlled airspace required to support the new Area Navigation (RNAV) 
Global Positioning System (GPS) Rwy 07-25 at Centre-Piedmont Cherokee 
County Airport (PYP) and remove the Class E airspace at Centre 
Municipal Airport (C22), Centre, AL.
    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. 
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 Class E airspace at Centre, AL.
