4632 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 21 / Friday, January 31, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

provide additional controlled airspace

to accommodate the SIAPs to Eppley

Airfield.

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. Class E airspace areas

extending from 700 feet or more above

the surface of the earth are published in

paragraphs 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9D,

dated September 4, 1996, and effective

September 16, 1996, 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 Rule

This amendment to Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

Part 71) amends the Class E airspace

area at Omaha, NE, by providing

additional controlled airspace for

aircraft executing the SIAPs to the

airport.

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 will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of

effective date.

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Class E

airspace area at Jefferson City Memorial

this rule is to provide additional

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

published this direct final rule with a

request for comments in the Federal

Register on November 19, 1996 (61 FR

58784). 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

March 27, 1997. No adverse comments

were received, and thus this notice

confirms that this final rule will become

effective on that date.
