Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: We are amending the gypsy moth regulations by making editorial and nonsubstantive changes to several terms and providing necessary updates throughout the regulations. These actions will improve the clarity and consistency of the regulations while continuing to provide protection against the artificial spread of gypsy moth into noninfested areas of the United States. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 14, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Weyman Fussell, Program Manager, Emergency and Domestic Programs, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 134, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236;
(301)734-5705. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The regulations in “Subpart—Gypsy Moth” (7 CFR 301.45 through 301.45-12, referred to below as the regulations) restrict the interstate movement of regulated articles from generally infested areas of States quarantined for gypsy moth in order to prevent the artificial spread of gypsy moth into noninfested areas of the United States. On July 17, 2007, we published in the **Federal Register** (72 FR 39018-39021, Docket No. APHIS-2006-0075) a proposal 1 to amend the regulations by making editorial and nonsubstantive changes to several terms and providing necessary updates throughout the regulations. 1 To view the proposed rule, go to *http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=DocketDetail&d=APHIS-2006-0075.* We solicited comments concerning our proposal for 60 days ending September 17, 2007. We did not receive any comments. Therefore, for the reasons given in the proposed rule, we are adopting the proposed rule as a final rule, without change. Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12866. The rule has been determined to be not significant for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. We are amending the gypsy moth regulations by making editorial and nonsubstantive changes to several terms and providing necessary updates throughout the regulations. These actions improve the clarity and consistency of the regulations, while continuing to provide protection against the artificial spread of gypsy moth into noninfested areas of the United States. The gypsy moth is a pest of concern for the U.S. forest industry. Defoliation of trees by gypsy moths often results in the death of the trees, which leads to economic loss, changes in ecosystems and wildlife habitat, and disturbed water flow and water quality. Economic costs to the U.S. forest industry, in addition to the costs of timber losses and pest control, can also arise from trade reductions as importing countries impose protective restrictions on access to their markets for wood products. Gypsy moths are already causing losses in quarantined areas in the United States. Annual losses attributable to gypsy moths are estimated to be about $22 million. 2 Any spread of gypsy moth to noninfested areas could have a negative economic and environmental impact. 2 David Pimentel, Lori Latch, Rodolfo Zuniga, and Doug Morrison, “Environmental and Economic Costs Associated with Non-indigenous Species in the United States,” College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14850-0901, June 12, 1999. The Small Business Administration
(SBA)has established size standards based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) to determine and to classify which economic entities can be considered small entities. Entities potentially affected by our gypsy moth regulations include sawmills, pulp mills, nursery and tree production farms, and nursery and garden centers that are involved in the interstate movement of Christmas trees, nursery products, household products, and bark and bark products from gypsy moth generally infested areas. Any effects on these entities resulting from these updates to the regulations would be positive. The SBA classifies nursery and tree production (floriculture, nursery, Christmas trees, etc.) farms (NAICS code 111421) as small if their annual receipts are not more than $750,000. 3 Sawmills (NAICS code 321113) are regarded as small if they employ 500 or fewer employees, and pulp mills (NAICS code 322110) are small if they employ 750 or fewer employees. Nursery and garden centers (NAICS code 444220) are considered small if their annual sales are less than $6.5 million. In 2002, the most recent year for which data are available, there were 17,300 nursery and tree production farms, 1,215 sawmills, 7 pulp mills, and 4,093 nursery and garden centers in generally infested areas of the United States. 4 Approximately 93 percent of all these entities are considered to be small under the SBA's standards. Although the majority of these establishments are small entities, any economic effect resulting from the changes in this rule would be negligible. The changes in this final rule will not impose additional restrictions or requirements; rather, they will help ensure that the existing regulations are as up to date, clear, consistent, and as flexible as possible. 3 SBA, Small Business Size Standards matched to North American Industry Classification System 2002, Effective January 2006 ( *http://www.sba.gov/size/sizetable2002.html* ). 4 U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census Geographic Area Series: Manufacturing and Wholesale Trade, Revised January 2006 ( *http://www.census.gov/prod/ec02/ec0231sq1t.pdf* ). Information on the number of sawmills, pulp mills, and nursery and garden centers is available at the State level only. County information is withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual establishments. This may result in an overestimate of the number of affected entities because not all counties within quarantined States are in generally infested areas. Under these circumstances, the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Executive Order 12372 This program/activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under No. 10.025 and is subject to Executive Order 12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and local officials. (See 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V.) Executive Order 12988 This final rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule:
(1)Preempts all State and local laws and regulations that are inconsistent with this rule;
(2)has no retroactive effect; and
(3)does not require administrative proceedings before parties may file suit in court challenging this rule. Paperwork Reduction Act This final rule contains no new information collection or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ).

(301)734-5901. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 17, 2007, we published in the **Federal Register** (72 FR 39025-39028, Docket No. APHIS-2006-0028) a proposal 1 to amend our Agricultural Quarantine and Inspection
(AQI)Services user fee regulations contained in 7 CFR part 354 to update an address that appears in several places. We also proposed several nonsubstantive changes to the Veterinary Services user fee regulations contained in 9 CFR part 130 to correct errors and to clarify the services covered by certain existing user fees. Finally, we proposed to remove all references to cooperative agreements in 9 CFR part 156 because the export product endorsement and inspection services formerly covered by those agreements are now covered by user fees in 9 CFR part 130. These changes, which do not affect any existing fees, are necessary to ensure that the user fee regulations are up to date and to ensure their clarity. 1 To view the proposed rule, go to *http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=DocketDetail&d=APHIS-2006-0028.* We solicited comments concerning our proposal for 60 days ending September 17, 2007. We did not receive any comments. Therefore, for the reasons given in the proposed rule, we are adopting the proposed rule as a final rule, without change. Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12866. The rule has been determined to be not significant for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule amends our AQI user fee regulations by updating an address that appears in several places. We also make several nonsubstantive changes to the Veterinary Services user fee regulations to correct errors and to clarify existing user fee services. The changes to the regulations are administrative in nature and do not result in any new fees being charged or any additional entities becoming subject to user fees. Under these circumstances, the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Executive Order 12372 This program/activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under No. 10.025 and is subject to Executive Order 12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and local officials. (See 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V.) Executive Order 12988 This final rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule:
(1)Preempts all State and local laws and regulations that are in conflict with this rule;
(2)has no retroactive effect; and
(3)does not require administrative proceedings before parties may file suit in court challenging this rule. Paperwork Reduction Act This final rule contains no new information collection or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ). List of Subjects 7 CFR Part 354 Animal diseases, Exports, Government employees, Imports, Plant diseases and pests, Quarantine, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Travel and transportation expenses. 9 CFR Part 130 Animals, Birds, Diagnostic reagents, Exports, Imports, Poultry and poultry products, Quarantine, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Tests. 9 CFR Part 156 Exports, Livestock, Poultry and poultry products, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

E7-24177 Filed 12-12-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3410-34-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 71 [Docket No. FAA-2007-28601; Airspace Docket No. 07-AEA-02] Establishment of Class D and E Airspace, Revision of Class E Airspace; Easton, MD AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This action establishes Class D, E2 and E4 airspace at Easton, MD to provide adequate airspace that will support the new Air Traffic Control Tower constructed at Easton Airport/Newnam Field. Increased safety and airspace management is enhanced through this rule by providing controlled airspace for Instrument Approaches and Instrument and Visual Flight Rule operations. This action also amends Class E5 airspace at Easton, MD by imparting a technical correction to the airport's name. DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 14, 2008. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daryl Daniels, Air Traffic Control Specialist, System Support Group, Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone
(404)305-5581. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On September 6, 2007, the FAA published in the **Federal Register** an NPRM to establish Class D, E2, and E4 airspace and amend Class E5 airspace at Easton, MD (72 FR 51203). Due to the volume and mix of aircraft operating at the airport, an Air Traffic Control Tower has been built with weather reporting capabilities at Easton Airport/Newnam Field which meets the criteria for Class D and E4 surface area airspace. Class D surface area airspace and Class E4 airspace designated as an extension to Class D surface airspace is required when the control tower is open to contain Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and other Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR)operations at the airport. Additionally, the Potomac Tracon receives the weather information and has the ability to communicate with aircraft on the ground at the airport, thus meeting the criteria for Class E2 airspace. Class E2 surface area airspace is required for safety reasons when the control tower is closed to contain SIAPs and other IFR operations at the airport. This action establishes that airspace. On May 25, 1993, the County Council of Talbot County voted to officially change the name of the Easton Municipal Airport to Easton Airport/Newnam Field honoring Mr. William S.D. Newnam, having served the county and the airport for forty years. That change was never completely forwarded to the proper authorities. This action corrects that oversight. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the proposal were received. The Rule This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 establishes Class D Airspace extending upwards from the surface to and including 2,600 feet MSL within a 4.0-mile radius of the airport, Class E4 Airspace extension to Class D that is 5.4 miles wide and extends 7.4 miles northeast of the Easton Non Directional Beacon
(NDB)and Class E2 airspace whose dimensions include both. This amendment also revises Class E5 Airspace to correctly identify the airports' name as Easton Airport/Newnam Field at Easton, MD. Class D and E2 Airspace Designations for Airspace Areas extending upward from the surface of the Earth, Class E4 Airspace Areas Designated as an Extension to a Class D Surface Area and Class E5 Airspace Areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the Earth are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005 respectively of FAA Order 7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E Airspae designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. 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 final rule does not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. 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 controlled airspace at the Easton Airport/Newnam Field, Easton, MD.
