DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 95-ACE-2]


Proposed Amendment to Class E Airspace; Scribner, NE

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to amend the Class E airspace area at 
Scriber, NE. The development of a standard instrument approach 
procedure (SIAP) at Scribner State Airport, utilizing the new Scriber, 
NE Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) as a navigational 
aid, has made the proposal necessary. The intended effect of this 
proposal is to provide control airspace for aircraft executing the SIAP 
at Scribner, NE. This action will also change the airport status from 
VFR to IFR.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 3, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Manager, Air 
Traffic Operations Branch, ACE-530, Federal Aviation Administration, 
Docket No. 95-ACE-2, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas City, MO 64106. The 
official docket may be examined in the Office of the Assistant Chief 
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 business hours in the 
office of the Manager, Air Traffic Operations Branch, Air Traffic 
Division, at the address listed above.

Aviation Administration, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 
64106; telephone number: (816) 426-3409.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to provide additional controlled 
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) procedures at the Scribner 
State Airport. The additional airspace would segregate aircraft 
operating under VFR conditions from aircraft operating under IFR 
procedures. The area would be depicted on appropriate aeronautical 
charts, thereby enabling pilots to circumnavigate the area or otherwise 
comply with IFR procedures. Class E airspace designations for airspace 
areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the 
earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B, dated July 
18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in 
this document would be published subsequently in the Order. The FAA has 
determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established 
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments 
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this 
proposed 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 proposed rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
