SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

published this direct final rule with a

request for comments in the Federal

Register on August 13, 1997 (62 FR

43275). 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

October 31, 1997. No adverse comments

were received, and thus this notice

confirms that this direct final rule will

become effective on that date.

[Docket No. 97–ACE–16]

Amendment to Class E Airspace;

Keokuk, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class

E airspace area at Keokuk Municipal

Airport, Keokuk, IA. The FAA has

developed a Localizer/Distance

Measuring Equipment (LOC/DME)

Runway (RWY) 26 Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) utilizing the

LOC and DME of the Instrument

Landing System (ILS). Additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet Above Ground Level

(AGL) is needed to accommodate this

SIAP, and for Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR) operations at this airport. The

enlarged area will contain the new LOC/

DME RWY 26 SIAP in controlled

airspace. The intended effect of this rule

is to provided additional controlled

airspace for aircraft arriving at the

Keokuk Municipal Airport.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC April

23, 1998. Comment date: Comments

must be received on or before January

15, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding

the rule in triplicate to: Manager,

Airspace Branch, Air Traffic Division,

ACE–520, Federal Aviation

Administration, Docket Number 97–

ACE–16, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas

The official docket may be examined

in the Office of the Regional Counsel for

the Central Region at the same address

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

has developed a LOC/DME RWY 26

SIAP utilizing the LOC and DME of the

ILS at Keokuk Municipal Airport,

Keokuk, IA. The amendment to Class E

airspace at Keokuk, IA, will provide

additional controlled airspace at and

above 700 feet AGL in order to contain

the new SIAP in controlled airspace and

thereby facilitate separation of aircraft

operating under IFR. The area will be

depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts. Class E airspace areas extending

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth are published in paragraph

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E, dated

September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, which is
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 210 / Thursday, October 30, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 58645

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. The

amendment will enhance safety for all

flight operations by designating an area

where VFR pilots may anticipate the

presence of IFR aircraft at lower

altitudes, especially during inclement

weather conditions. A greater degree of

safety is achieved by depicting the area

on aeronautical charts. 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

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule and was not preceded by a

notice of proposed rulemaking,

comments are invited on this rule.

Interested persons are invited to

comment on this rule by submitting

such written data, views, or arguments

as they may desire. Communications

should identify the Rules Docket

number and be submitted in triplicate to

the address specified under the caption

ADDRESSES. All communications

received on or before the closing date

for comments will be considered, and

this rule may be amended or withdrawn

in light of the comments received.

Factual information that supports the

commenter’s ideas and suggestions is

extremely helpful in evaluating the

effectiveness of this action and

determining whether additional

rulemaking action would be needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy-related

aspects of the rule that might suggest a

need to modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this

action will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this rule must

submit a self-addressed, stamped

postcard on which the following

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to

Docket No. 97–ACE–16.’’ The postcard

will be date stamped and returned to the

commenter.

Agency Findings

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects 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, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612,

it is determined that this final rule does

not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

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.
