SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A new Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
(SIAP) to Newton Field, Jackman, ME (K59B), the Helicopter RNAV 285
approach, requires the establishment of Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface in the vicinity of the airport.
This action provides adequate controlled airspace to contain those
aircraft executing the Helicopter RNAV 285 approach. Class E airspace
designations for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9P, effective September 16, 2006, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in
this document will be published subsequently in this Order.
The Direct Final Rule Procedure
The FAA anticipates that this regulation will not result in adverse
or negative comment, and, therefore, issues it as a direct final rule.
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.
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 date on which the
final rule will become effective. If the FAA does receive, 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.
Comments Invited
Although this action is in the form of a direct final rule, and was
not preceded by a notice of proposed rulemaking, interested persons are
invited to comment on this rule by submitting such written data, views,
or arguments as they may desire. Communications should identify the
Rules Docket number and be submitted in triplicate to the address
specified under the caption ADDRESSES. All communications received on
or before the closing date for comments will be considered, and this
rule may be amended or withdrawn in light of the comments received.
Factual information that supports the commenter's ideas and suggestions
is extremely helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of this action and
determining whether additional rulemaking action would be needed.
Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that might
suggest a need to modify the rule. All comments submitted will be
available, both before and after the closing date for comments, in the
Rules Docket for examination by interested persons. A report that
summarizes each FAA-public contact concerned with the substance of this
action will be filed in the Rules Docket.
Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
submitted in response to this rule must submit a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to Docket No. FAA 2006-26032; Airspace Docket No. 06-ANE-01.'' The
postcard will be date stamped and returned to the commenter.
Agency Findings
The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct
efforts on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is determined that this final
rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
The FAA has determined that this regulation is non-controversial
and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. For the reasons
discussed in the preamble, I certify that this regulation (a) is not a
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is
not a ``significant rule'' under Department of Transportation (DOT)
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as
these routine matters will only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation. It is certified that these proposed rules will not have
significant economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
