SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 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, and
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 direct final rule. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the direct final rule.
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-2007-28776/
Airspace Docket No. 07-ACE-10.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.

The Rule
This action amends the Class E airspace area at Lee's Summit
Municipal Airport, MO, by correcting the ARP for Lee's Summit Municipal
Airport, Lee's Summit, MO. 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 7400.9P, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15,
2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
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.
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 the
airspace necessary to ensure that safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
since it contains aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to
Lee's Summit Municipal Airport, MO.
