ACTION: Final rule. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES AGENCY: 15:34 Aug 08, 2008 On January 1, 2007, the Oneida County Airport, Utica, NY was permanently closed and operations moved to the Griffiss Airfield. The local area Terminal VFR Radar Service Area (TRSA) is being revised and there is a requirement for the base of the TRSA to not be below the associated Class E airspace. A careful analysis of operations determined a need for additional Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of the Earth to enhance the management, safety and efficiency of air traffic services in the area. This modification would satisfy that requirement. On May 8, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish additional Class E airspace at Griffiss Airfield (73 FR 26047). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on this proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the proposal were received, and the rule is being promulgated as proposed. Designations for 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, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The Rule SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E Airspace at Rome, New York to support the amendment of the current Terminal Visual Flight Rule (VFR) Radar Service Area (TRSA) and to allow for a lower vectoring altitude known as the Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA) for vectoring of both VFR and Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) aircraft around the Rome, NY area. This action will enhance the safety and airspace management around the Griffiss Airport area. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, November 20, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 History Jkt 214001 This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) modifies Class E airspace at Rome, NY. To provide for a lower MVA in the Rome, NY, area for VFR and IFR operations, it establishes Class E airspace upward from 700 feet above the surface of the Earth within a 15-mile radius of Griffiss Airfield and within a 26-mile radius of the airport to the southeast and south of the airport. The FAA has determined that this final rule 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 PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 modifies Class E airspace at Rome, NY. Lists of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (Air).

ACTION: Final Rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is amending its regulations to establish cutoff dates for the recognition of boundary changes for the 2010 Census. This amendment is necessary, as the existing cutoff dates are out of date. Upon effectiveness of this rule, the Census Bureau will recognize only those boundaries legally in effect on January 1, 2010, that have been reported officially to the Census Bureau no later than March 1, 2010. DATES: This rule is effective on August 11, 2008. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel H. Weinberg, Acting Chief, Geography Division, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–7400, telephone (301) 763–2131, or e-mail geo.bas@census.gov. The Census Bureau is amending 15 CFR part 70 to establish cutoff dates for recognition of boundary changes made through the Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) for the 2010 Census, the American Community Survey (ACS), and the Population Estimates Program. The cutoff dates were last established for Census 2000 on March 3, 1998 (63 FR 10303). Those cutoff dates are out of date; therefore, the Census Bureau amends its regulations to update the cutoff dates for the 2010 Census. For the 2010 Census, the Census Bureau will recognize only those boundaries legally in effect on January 1, 2010, that have been reported officially to the Census Bureau no later than March 1, 2010. To implement this change, the Census Bureau changes the name of the census from ‘‘Census 2000’’ to ‘‘2010 Census’’ jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:48 Aug 08, 2008 Jkt 214001 46553 and the reference year from 2000 to 2010 throughout its regulations. The reporting deadline for the BAS is usually April 1 of each year. However, to ensure the timely and official reporting of legal boundary changes for the 2010 Census, and subsequent data dissemination and tabulation activities, we establish the above-referenced deadlines. The BAS 2009 reporting deadline will be March 1, 2009, and the BAS 2010 reporting deadline will be March 1, 2010. In addition, the Census Bureau amends § 70.2 to remove and update the reference publication that provides information on the definition of ‘‘municipality’’ and ‘‘county subdivision.’’ The reference to the 1990 Census of Population, Volume 1, General Population Characteristics, 1990 CP–1–1, Appendix A, is replaced with a reference to the Census 2000 Geographic Terms and Concepts, Appendix A. the Census Bureau to conduct the data tabulation for the decennial census, and to update a reference publication that provides information on the definition of ‘‘municipality’’ and ‘‘county subdivision.’’ Therefore, the Census Bureau makes this final rule effective immediately upon publication. Rulemaking Requirements Paperwork Reduction Act Administrative Procedure Act The Census Bureau finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act because it is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. This amendment is necessary to establish the cutoff date for recognition of boundary changes for the 2010 Census and to update an obsolete citation to a reference publication. Upon implementation of this final rule for the 2010 Census, the Census Bureau will recognize only those boundaries legally in effect on January 1, 2010, that have been reported officially to the Census Bureau no later than March 1, 2010. This change does not impact the rights or obligations of any entity. This change merely establishes the last date on which the Census Bureau will accept changes to the legal boundaries used by the Census Bureau to conduct the data tabulation for the decennial census. In addition, this rule updates the reference that provides information on the definition of ‘‘municipality’’ and ‘‘county subdivision.’’ The Census Bureau finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) to waive the 30day delay in effectiveness. As stated above, this amendment is necessary to establish the cutoff date for recognition of boundary changes for the decennial census and to update an obsolete citation to a reference publication. This change does not impact the rights or obligations of any entity. This change merely establishes the last date on which the Census Bureau will accept changes to the legal boundaries used by This final rule does not represent a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 1, 2007, the Oneida County Airport, Utica, NY was 
permanently closed and operations moved to the Griffiss Airfield. The 
local area Terminal VFR Radar Service Area (TRSA) is being revised and 
there is a requirement for the base of the TRSA to not be below the 
associated Class E airspace. A careful analysis of operations 
determined a need for additional Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface of the Earth to enhance the management, 
safety and efficiency of air traffic services in the area. This 
modification would satisfy that requirement.
    On May 8, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice 
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish additional Class E airspace 
at Griffiss Airfield (73 FR 26047). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
this proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the proposal were 
received, and the rule is being promulgated as proposed.
    Designations for 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, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in 
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) modifies Class E airspace at Rome, NY. To provide for a 
lower MVA in the Rome, NY, area for VFR and IFR operations, it 
establishes Class E airspace upward from 700 feet above the surface of 
the Earth within a 15-mile radius of Griffiss Airfield and within a 26-
mile radius of the airport to the southeast and south of the airport.
    The FAA has determined that this final rule 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 modifies Class E airspace at Rome, NY.
