controlled airspace for aircraft departing

the Sidney Municipal Airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

has developed Standard Instrument

Approach Procedures (SIAP) utilizing

the Global Positioning System (GPS) at

Sidney Municipal Airport, Sidney, NE.

The amendment to Class E airspace at

Sidney, NE, will provide additional

controlled airspace to segregate aircraft

operating under Visual Flight Rules

(VFR) from aircraft operating under

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

procedures while arriving or departing

the airport. The area will be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts thereby

enabling pilots to either circumnavigate

the area, continue to operate under VFR

to and from the airport, or otherwise

comply with IFR procedures. Class E

airspace areas extending from 700 feet

or more above the surface of the earth

are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9D, 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 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 comments 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
