by calling (202) 267–3484.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend

the Class E surface area at Kearney

Municipal Airport, Kearney, NE. The

FAA has received a request to amend

the Class E surface area from part time

to full time. The intended effect of this

action is to provide segregation of

aircraft operating under IFR from

aircraft operating in visual weather

conditions. The area would be depicted

on appropriate aeronautical charts

thereby enabling pilots to

circumnavigate the area or otherwise

comply with IFR procedures. Class E

airspace areas designated as a surface

area for an airport are published in

paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9G,

dated September 10, 1999, and effective

September 16, 1999, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document would be

published subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

established body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of a small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to

establish Class E airspace at Lamoni

Municipal Airport, Lamoni, IA. The

FAA has developed RNAV RWY 17 and

RNAV RWY 35 SIAPs to serve the

Lamoni Municipal Airport, Lamoni, IA.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet AGL is needed to contain

aircraft executing these SIAPs. The

intended effect of this action is to

provide segregation of aircraft operating

under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

from aircraft operating in visual weather

conditions. The area would be depicted

on appropriate aeronautical charts

thereby enabling pilots to

circumnavigate the area or otherwise

comply with IFR procedures. Class E

airspace designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9G, dated September 10,

1999, and effective September 16, 1999,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document

would be published subsequently in the

Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

established body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
