14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 97–ACE–29]

Amendment to Class E Airspace;

Alliance, NE

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class

E airspace area at Alliance Municipal

Airport, Alliance, NE. The FAA has

developed Nondirectional Radio Beacon

(NDB) Runway (RWY) 12 and NDB

RWY 30 Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAP) to serve the Alliance

Municipal Airport. The enlarged Class E

surface area and Class E airspace area

700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) will

contain the new NDB RWY 12 and NDB

RWY 30 SIAPs in controlled airspace.

The intended effect of this rule is to

provide additional controlled Class E

surface area and Class E airspace

extending upward from 700 feet AGL to

accommodate these SIAPs.

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–29, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas

City, MO 64106.

The official docket may be examined

in the Office of the Regional Counsel for

the Central Region at the same address

between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, except Federal

holidays.

An informal docket may also be

examined during normal business hours

in the Air Traffic Division at the same

address listed above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic Division,

Airspace Branch, ACE–520C, Federal

Aviation Administration, 601 East 12th

Street, Kansas City, MO 64106,

telephone (816) 426–3408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

has developed NDB RWY 12 and NDB

RWY 30 SIAPs at Alliance Municipal

Airport, Alliance, NE. The amendment

to Class E surface area and Class E 700

feet AGL airspace area at Alliance

Municipal Airport will provide

additional controlled airspace in order

to contain the new SIAPs within

controlled airspace, and thereby

facilitate separation of aircraft operating

under IFR. The areas will be depicted

on appropriate aeronautical charts.

Class E surface areas are published in

paragraph 6002 and 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 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
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 234 / Friday, December 5, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 64269

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

Airspace Docket No. 97–ACE–29.’’ 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) 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.
