14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 97-ACE-2]
Amendment to Class E Airspace, Fremont, NE
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration [FAA], DOT.
ACTION: Final rule, correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace area at Fremont
Municipal Airport, Fremont, Nebraska. The Federal Aviation
Administration has developed a Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
(SIAP) based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) which has made this
change necessary. The effect of this rule is to provide additional
controlled airspace for aircraft arriving or departing the Fremont
Municipal Airport. After careful review of all available information
related to the subject presented above, the FAA has determined that air
safety and the public interest require adoption of the rule as proposed
except that presently existing Class E airspace at the Scribner and
Wahoo, Nebraska, airports is excluded. The FAA has determined that this
correction will not change the meaning of the action nor add any
additional burden on the public beyond that already proposed.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC July 17, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 11, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying the Class E airspace
area at Fremont, NE (62 FR 11076). The proposed action would provide
additional controlled airspace to accommodate the new SIAP to Fremont
Municipal 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 extending from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth
are published in paragraphs 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9D, dated September
4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996, which is
[[Page 31338]]
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 Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at Fremont, NE, by
providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the new
SIAP to the airport.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and route
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.
