Proposed Establishment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Grayling, MI, 54989-54990 [E8-22433]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 24, 2008 / Proposed Rules Background and Purpose DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Section 7101 of the FCEA recently established a new group of cooperating educational institutions known as the Hispanic-serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities (HSACUs). Section 1404 of the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 (‘‘NARETPA’’) (7 U.S.C. 3103) defines HSACUs as colleges or universities that qualify as Hispanic-serving institutions (as defined in section 502 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1101a) and that offer associate, bachelors, or other accredited degree programs in agriculture-related fields. HSACUs do not include 1862 institutions (as defined in section 2 of the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998 (7 U.S.C. 7601). The FCEA amends section 406(b) of the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998 (7 U.S.C. 7626(b)) by expanding the eligibility for the CSREES Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Programs to include HSACUs. In addition, section 7129 of the FCEA authorizes the following five new programs for HSACUs: The HSACU Endowment Fund, the HSACU Equity Grants Program, the HSACU Institutional Capacity-Building Grants Program, the HSACU Fundamental and Applied Research Grants Program, and the HSACU Extension Grants Program. The first four programs are authorized in section 1456 of NARETPA (7 U.S.C. 3243), and the fifth program is authorized in section 3(b)(4) of the Smith-Lever Act (7 U.S.C. 343(b)(4)). CSREES is requesting stakeholder input in the identification and certification of institutions as HSACUs and on the implementation of the five new HSACU programs. Federal Aviation Administration Implementation Plans rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with PROPOSALS CSREES plans to consider stakeholder input received from this public meeting, as well as other written comments, in developing an implementing regulation for the identification and certification of institutions as HSACUs by Spring 2009; with a separate implementing regulation for the new HSACU programs to follow. Done at Washington, DC, this 19th day of September, 2008. Colien Hefferan, Administrator, Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service. [FR Doc.

The Proposal This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), Part 71 by establishing a Class D airspace area and Class E Surface Area for IFR operations at Grayling Army Airfield, Grayling, MI. The Class D airspace will revert to a Class E Surface Area during those periods when the control tower is not operating. These areas would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. Class D airspace areas are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order. Class E Surface Areas are published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and effective E:\FR\FM\24SEP1.SGM 24SEP1 54990 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 24, 2008 / Proposed Rules September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E Surface Area designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order. 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. 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 would establish controlled airspace at Grayling Army Airfield, Grayling, MI. § 71.1 [Amended] DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 2.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR), Part 71 by establishing a Class D airspace area and Class E 
Surface Area for IFR operations at Grayling Army Airfield, Grayling, 
MI. The Class D airspace will revert to a Class E Surface Area during 
those periods when the control tower is not operating. These areas 
would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts.
    Class D airspace areas are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 
7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace 
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    Class E Surface Areas are published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 
7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and effective

[[Page 54990]]

September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The Class E Surface Area designation listed in this document would be 
published subsequently in the Order.
    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. 
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 U.S. 
Code. Subtitle 1, 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 would establish controlled 
airspace at Grayling Army Airfield, Grayling, MI.
