The Direct Final Rule Procedure
14 CFR Part 71
The FAA anticipates that this
regulation will not result in adverse or
negative comments, and, therefore,
issues it as a direct final rule. The FAA
has determined that this rule only
involves an established body of
technical regulations for which frequent
and routine amendments are necessary
to keep them operationally current.
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. If the FAA
receives, within the comment period, an
adverse or negative comment, or written
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 Mountain
City, TN, providing controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface of the earth to accommodate
IFR operations for SIAPs at Johnson
County Airport. Designations for Class E
airspace areas extending upward from
700 feet or more above the surface of the
earth are published in FAA Order
7400.9T, dated August 27, 2009, and
effective September 15, 2009, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
part 71.1. The Class E designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
Agency Findings
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 direct final rule does not have
federalism implications under Executive
Order 13132.

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 233 / Monday, December 7, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
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. 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
Mountain City, TN.
