    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

    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.
