SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On October 28, 2014, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Alma Municipal Airport, Alma, NE 

(79 FR 64152) Docket No. FAA–2014– 

0745. Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Subsequent to 

publications, an error was found under 

the airport designation listing the 

airport in KS, instead of NE. This action 

corrects the error. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Y dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Y, airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014. FAA 

Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR), Part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.5-mile radius of Alma 

Municipal Airport, Alma, NE. 

Controlled airspace is necessary to 

accommodate new Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures at the airport. 

This action enhances the safety and 

management of IFR operations for SIAPs 

at the airport. This action also correctly 

lists the airport state as NE instead of KS 

under the airport designation. 

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. Therefore, this 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 Alma Municipal 

Airport, Alma, NE. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical under the 

National Policy Act in accordance with 

FAA Order 1050.1E,— ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exit that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Y, airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014. FAA 

Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of
