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

Dalhart, TX 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

airspace at Dalhart, TX. Additional 

controlled airspace is necessary to 

accommodate new Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAP) at Dalhart 

Municipal Airport. The FAA is taking 

this action to enhance the safety and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On March 3, 2014, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 

Class E airspace for the Dalhart, TX, 

area, modifying controlled airspace at 

Dalhart Municipal Airport (79 FR 

11731) Docket No. FAA–2013–0918. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9X dated 

August 7, 2013, and effective September 

15, 2013, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to accommodate new standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Dalhart Municipal Airport, Dalhart, TX. 

Accordingly, the existing segment 

extending from the 6.7-mile radius of 

the airport to 11 miles north of the 

airport is expanded to 11.8 miles, to 

retain the safety and management of IFR 

aircraft in Class E airspace to/from the 

en route environment. 

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

Amendment of Class E Airspace;

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at Albion, NE. 

Decommissioning of the Alaby nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) at 

Albion Municipal Airport has made 

reconfiguration necessary for standard

the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations 

at the airport.

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the 

Albion, NE., area, modifying controlled 

airspace at Albion Municipal Airport

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for standard instrument approach 

procedures at Albion Municipal Airport, 

Albion, NE. Airspace reconfiguration is 

necessary due to the decommissioning 

of the Alaby NDB and the cancellation 

of the NDB approach. The segment 

southeast of the airport is now within 

2.6 miles each side of the 159° bearing 

from the airport. Controlled airspace is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport.
