SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies 
the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface at Kaiser, MO. The National Aeronautical Charting Office (NACO) 
revised the Camdenton Memorial Airport airport reference point 
effective February 20, 2003. The Kaiser, MO Class E airspace area is 
defined, in part, by the Camdenton Memorial Airport airport reference 
point. This same data is also used in the legal description for the 
airspace area. An examination of controlled airspace for Kaiser, MO 
revealed additional discrepancies in the Kaiser, MO Class E airspace 
area. Two other airports, also used in the legal description for the 
airspace area, were not named correctly in the legal description and 
their location incorrectly identified. this amendment incorporates the 
revised Camdenton Memorial Airport airport reference point. It modifies 
the name of the airport at Osage Beach, MO from ``Linn Creek-Grand 
Glaize Memorial Airport'' to ``Grand Glaize-Osage Beach Airport'' and 
corrects an error in the airport reference point. This amendment also 
modifies the name of the airport at Kaiser, MO from ``Lee E. Fine 
Memorial Airport'' to ``Lee C. Fine Memorial Airport'' and identifies 
the location as Kaiser/Lake Ozark, MO. Finally, this action modifies 
the title of the Kaiser, MO Class E airspace area to become the Kaiser/
Lake Ozark, MO Class E airspace area. These changes bring the legal 
description of the Class E airspace area into compliance with FAA Order 
7400.2E, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters. This area will be 
depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. Class E airspace areas 
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth 
are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9K, dated August 30, 
2002, and effective September 16, 2002, 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 Direct Final Rule Procedure

    The FAA anticipates that this regulation will not result in adverse 
or negative comment and, therefore, is issuing it as a direct final 
rule. Previous actions of this nature have not been controversial and 
have not resulted in adverse comments or objections. 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

[[Page 28123]]

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

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this rulemaking by 
submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as they may desire. 
Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and 
suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing reasoned 
regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are specifically invited 
on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and 
energy-related aspects of the proposal. Communications should identify 
both docket numbers and be submitted in triplicate to the address 
listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of 
their comments on this notice must submit with those comments a self-
addressed, stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: 
``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2003-15076/Airspace Docket No. 03-ACE-
44.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the 
commenter.

Agency Findings

    The regulations adopted herein will not have a substantial direct 
effect 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, it 
is determined that this final rule does not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation is noncontroversial and 
unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. For the reasons 
discussed in the preamble, I certify that this regulation (1) 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) if promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact, 
positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under 
the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
