14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 98-ACE-54]
Amendment to Class E Airspace; Alliance, NE
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace areas at Alliance, NE.
The FAA has developed Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) Runway (RWY) 12
and NDB RWY 30 Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) to serve
Alliance Memorial Airport, NE. Controlled Class E surface area and
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level
(AGL) is necessary to accommodate these SIAPs, and for Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC May 20, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 4, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 of the
Federal Regulation (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class E airspace
areas at Alliance, NE (64 FR 60). The proposed action would provide
additional controlled airspace to accommodate instrument operations at
the Alliance Memorial Airport.
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. Class E airspace
areas designated as surface area for an airport are published in
paragraph 6002, and 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 7400.9F, dated September 10, 1998, and effective
September 16, 1998, 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 amendment to part 71 of the Federal Regulations (14 CFR part
71) amends the Class E airspace areas at Alliance, NE, by providing
additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the NDB RWY 12
and NDB RWY 30 SIAPs to the Alliance Municipal Airport. The areas will
be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts.
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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
