udev question for dealing with auto spindown on Seagate FreeAgent Go 1T drive

I saw this advice on how to implement a fix using udev:
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DealWithAutoSpinDownOnSeagateFreeAgent
udev Method

Add a rule to the end of /etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules

# Seagate FreeAgent allow_restart fix (i/o errors)
SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi",DRIVERS=="sd",ATTRS{vendor}=="Seagate*",ATTRS{model}=="FreeAgent*",RUN+="/bin/sh
-c 'echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_disk/%k/allow_restart'"

I have Fedora 10 installed. Should I add a new file 10-local.rules and
put it there? I currently don't have a local.rules file.

$ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/
40-multipath.rules
51-packagekit-firmware.rules
60-libmtp.rules
60-pcmcia.rules
60-wacom.rules
65-md-incremental.rules
70-persistent-cd.rules
70-persistent-net.rules
85-pcscd_ccid.rules
85-pcscd_egate.rules
90-alsa.rules
90-hal.rules
91-drm-modeset.rules
97-bluetooth-serial.rules
99-fuse.rules


Thank you
