SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 23, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend controlled airspace at Salyer 
Farms, CA, (73 FR 21857). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Also, subsequent to 
publication, it was noted that the decommissioned Salyer Farms RBN was 
not removed from the airport description. This rule will make the 
correction.
    Class E airspace designations 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 part 71.1. The Class 
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by amending the Class E airspace area at Salyer Farms, CA. El 
Rico Airport has been abandoned, and the Salyer Farms RBN 
decommissioned, making it necessary to realign the airspace area at 
Salyer Farms Airport.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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 FAAs authority to issue 
rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. 
Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses 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 amends 
controlled airspace at Salyer Farms Airport, Salyer Farms, CA.
