SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to 14 CFR 71 modifies the 

Class E airspace areas at Alliance 

Municipal Airport, NE. The radius of 

the Class E surface area is expanded 

from within a 4.3-radius to 5.3-radius of 

the airport. The radius of the Class E 

airspace area extending upward from 

700 feet or more above the surface of the 

earth is expanded from within a 6.8- 

mile radius to within a 7.8-mile radius 

of the airport. This modification brings 

the legal description of the Alliance 

Municipal Airport, NE Class E5 airspace 

areas into compliance with FAA Orders 

7400.2F and 8260.19C. Class E surface 

areas are published in Paragraph 6002 of 

FAA Order 7400.9P, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated September 1, 2006, and effective 

September 15, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. Class E airspace areas extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface of the earth are published in 

Paragraph 6005 of the same order. The 

Class E airspace designations listed in 

this document would 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. 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 

a notice of proposed rulemaking may be 

published with a new comment period. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting such written data, views, or 

arguments, as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers and be submitted in 

triplicate to the address listed above. 

Commenters wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

on this notice must submit with those 

comments a self-addressed, stamped 

postcard on which the following 

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to 

Docket No. FAA–2006–25945/Airspace 

Docket No. 06–ACE–15.’’ The postcard 

will be date/time stamped and returned 

to the commenter. 

Agency Findings 

The regulations adopted herein will 

not have a substantial direct effect on 

the States, on the relationship between 

the national Government and the States, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
1280 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 7 / Thursday, January 11, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

levels of government. Therefore, it is 

determined that this final rule does not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. 

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. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 

40103. Under that section, the FAA is 

charged with prescribing regulations to 

assign the use of the airspace necessary 

to ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

since it contains aircraft executing 

instrument approach procedures to 

Alliance Municipal Airport, NE.

Hayward, WI and to segregate aircraft 

using instrument approach procedures 

in instrument conditions from aircraft 

operating in visual conditions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Friday, October 6, 2006, the FAA 

proposed to amend Part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

Part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 

Hayward, WI (71 FR 59031). The 

proposal was to modify the Class E5 

airspace area to bring Hayward, WI, 

airspace into compliance with FAA 

directives. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments objecting to the proposal 

were received. 

The Rule 

This notice amends Part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

Part 71) by modifying Class E airspace 

area extending upward from 700 feet 

above the surface at Hayward, WI. The 

establishment of Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures has made this 

action necessary. The intended effect of 

this action is to provide adequate 

controlled airspace for Instrument Flight 

Rules operations at Hayward, WI. The 

area will be depicted on approprite 

aeronautical charts. 

Class E airspace areas extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface of the earth are published in 

Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9P, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, dated September 1, 2006, and 

effective September 15, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1 of the same Order. The Class E 

airspace designation listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which
