PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A,

TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND
REPORTING POINTS
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. 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 of the rule.
If the FAA receives, within the
comment period, an adverse or negative
comment, or written comment 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.

The Rule
This amendment to Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
establishes Class E airspace at Plains,
TX, providing the airspace required to
support the new RNAV (GPS) RWY
03/21 approach developed for IFR
landings at Yoakum County Airport.
Controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface is
required to encompass all SIAPs and for
the safety of IFR operations at Yoakum
County Airport. Designations for Class
E5 airspace areas extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface of the
earth are published in the FAA Order
7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007, and
effective September 15, 2007, which is

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 implication 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 Class E5 airspace at Yoakum
County Airport, Plains, TX.
