Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 159 / Friday, October 8, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 60285

22, 2004, (69 FR 56690) modified the 

Class D airspace area, the Class E 

airspace area designated as a surface 

area, the Class E airspace area 

designated as an extension to the Class 

D airspace area and the Class E airspace 

area extending upward from 700 feet 

above the surface at Grand Island, NE. 

The modification corrected 

discrepancies in the Central Nebraska 

Regional Airport airport reference point 

used in the legal descriptions, redefined 

extensions to the airspace areas and 

brought the legal descriptions of the 

Grand Island, NE Class E airspace areas 

into compliance with FAA Orders 

7400.2E, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters, and 8260.19C, Flight 

Procedures and Airspace. However, the 

format of the legal description for the 

Class E airspace area extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface was 

incorrect.

Accordingly, pursuant to authority 

delegated to me, the legal description of 

the Class E airspace area extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Grand Island, NE, as published in the 

Federal Register on Wednesday, 

September 22, 2004, (69 FR 56690) [FR 

Doc. 04–21226] is corrected as follows:

§ 71.1 [Corrected]

■ On page 56692, Column 2, third 

paragraph, fifth and sixth lines, delete 

‘‘Grand Island VORTAC (lat. 40°59′03′′

N., long. 98°18′53′′ W.).’’ In the last line 

of the same paragraph, change ‘‘Central 

Nebraska Regional’’ to read ‘‘Central 

Nebraska Regional Airport’’.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA–204–18825; Airspace 

Docket No. 04–ACE–51] 

Modification of Class E Airspace; 

Harrisonville, MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Title 14 

Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 

CFR 71) by revising Class E airspace at 

Harrisonville, MO. A review of 

controlled airspace for Harrisonville, 

MO revealed it does not reflect the 

current Lawrence Smith Memorial 

Airport airport reference point (ARP) 

and is not in compliance with 

established airspace criteria. The 

airspace area is modified and enlarged 

to conform to the criteria in FAA 

Orders.

DATES: This direct final rule effective on 

0901 UTC, January 20, 2005. Comments 

for inclusion in the Rules Docket must 

be received on or before November 8, 

2004.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the Docket Management 

System, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Room Plaza 401, 400 

Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 

20590–0001. You must identify the 

docket number FAA–2004–18825/

Airspace Docket No. 04–ACE–51, at the 

beginning of your comments. You may 

also submit comments on the Internet at 

http://dms.dot gov. 

You may review the public docket 

containing the proposal, any comments 

received, and any final disposition in 

person in the Dockets Office between 9 

a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, except Federal holidays. The 

Docket Office (telephone 1–800–647–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies 

the Class E airspace area extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Harrisonville, MO. An examination of 

controlled airspace for Harrisonville, 

MO revealed that the Lawrence Smith 

Memorial Airport ARP used in the legal 

description for this Class E airspace area 

is incorrect, the legal description is not 

in proper format and the area does not 

comply with airspace requirements for 

diverse departures as set forth in FAA 

Order 7400.2E, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters. The criteria in FAA 

Order 7400.2E for an aircraft to reach 

1200 feet AGL, taking into consideration 

rising terrain, is based on a standard 

climb gradient of 200 feet per mile plus 

the distance from the airport reference 

point to the end of the outermost 

runway. Any fractional part of a mile is 

converted to the next higher tenth of a 

mile. This action expands the 

Harrisonville, MO Class E airspace area 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface from a 6.4-mile radius to a 

6.9-mile radius of Lawrence Smith 

Memorial Airport, corrects the ARP in 

the legal description, corrects the legal 

description format by adding the city 

name to the airport line and brings the 

legal description of the Harrisonville, 

MO Class E airspace area into 

compliance with FAA Order 7400.2E. 

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 7400.9M, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 30, 2004, and effective 

September 16, 2004, 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 

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.

60286 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 159 / Friday, October 8, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 

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–2004–18825/Airspace 

Docket No. 04–ACE–51.’’ 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

published this direct final rule with a 

request for comments in the Federal 

Register on August 11, 2004, (69 FR 

487666). The FAA uses the direct final 

rulemaking procedure for a noncontroversial rule where the FAA 

believes that there will be no adverse 

public comment. This direct final rule 

advised the public that no adverse 

comments were anticipated, and that 

unless a written adverse comment, or a 

written notice of intent to submit such 

an adverse comment, were received 

within the comment period, the 

regulation would become effective on 

November 25, 2004. No adverse 

comments were received, and thus this 

action confirms that this direct final rule 

will be effective on that date.
