SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to 14 CFR Part 71 modifies the Class E surface area and the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet AGL at Columbus, NE. An examination of controlled airspace for Columbus, NE revealed that neither airspace area is in compliance with FAA Orders 7400.2E, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters, and 8260.19C, Flight Procedures and Airspace. The Class E surface area is increased from a 4 mile radius to a 4.7 mile radius of the Columbus Municipal Airport. The extension to the Class E surface area relative to the Columbus VOR/DME 157° radial is decreased in VerDate jul<14>2003 15:22 Apr 22, 2005 Jkt 205001 length from 8.7 miles to 7 miles southeast of the VOR/DME and decreased in width from 2.6 to 2.4 miles each side of centerline. The extension to the Class E surface area relative to the Columbus VOR/DME 317° radial is decreased in length from 10.5 miles to 7 miles northwest of the VOR/DME and decreased in width from 2.6 to 2.4 miles each side of centerline. The Class E5 airspace area extending upward from 700 feet AGL is increased from a 6.6. mile radius to a 7.7 mile radius of the Columbus Municipal Airport. The extension to the Class E5 airspace relative to the Columbus VOR/DME 157° radial is increased in length from 9.5 miles to 11 miles southeast of the VOR/DME and decreased in width from 4.2 to 1.6 miles each side of centerline. The extension to the Class E5 airspace relative to the Columbus ILS localizer course is changed in length from 10.5 miles northwest of the airport to 7 miles northwest of the Platte Center NDB and decreased in width from 4 miles to 3.8 miles each side of centerline. The Columbus Municipal Airport ARP is corrected in both legal descriptions. These modifications bring the legal descriptions of the Columbus, NE Class E airspace areas into compliance with FAA Orders 7400.2E and 8260.19C. Class E airspace areas designated as surface areas are published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9M, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, 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 comment 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 PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 21145 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–2005–20752/Airspace Docket No. 05–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 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.

Modification of Class E Airspace; Columbus, NE

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

[[Page 21145]]


ACTION: Direct final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 
71 (14 CFR 71) by revising Class E airspace areas at Columbus, NE. A 
review of the Class E airspace surface area and the Class E airspace 
area extending upward from 700 feet above ground level (AGL) at 
Columbus, NE reveals neither area complies with criteria for extensions 
nor reflects the current Airport reference point (ARP) for the Columbus 
Municipal Airport. Also, the legal descriptions of both areas are not 
in proper format. These airspace areas and their legal descriptions are 
modified to conform to the criteria in FAA Orders.

EFFECTIVE DATES: This direct final rule is effective on 0901 UTC, 
September 1, 2005. Comments for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be 
received on or before June 10, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to 14 CFR Part 71 modifies 
the Class E surface area and the Class E airspace area extending upward 
from 700 feet AGL at Columbus, NE. An examination of controlled 
airspace for Columbus, NE revealed that neither airspace area is in 
compliance with FAA Orders 7400.2E, Procedures for Handling Airspace 
Matters, and 8260.19C, Flight Procedures and Airspace. The Class E 
surface area is increased from a 4 mile radius to a 4.7 mile radius of 
the Columbus Municipal Airport. The extension to the Class E surface 
area relative to the Columbus VOR/DME 157[deg] radial is decreased in 
length from 8.7 miles to 7 miles southeast of the VOR/DME and decreased 
in width from 2.6 to 2.4 miles each side of centerline. The extension 
to the Class E surface area relative to the Columbus VOR/DME 317[deg] 
radial is decreased in length from 10.5 miles to 7 miles northwest of 
the VOR/DME and decreased in width from 2.6 to 2.4 miles each side of 
centerline. The Class E5 airspace area extending upward from 700 feet 
AGL is increased from a 6.6. mile radius to a 7.7 mile radius of the 
Columbus Municipal Airport. The extension to the Class E5 airspace 
relative to the Columbus VOR/DME 157[deg] radial is increased in length 
from 9.5 miles to 11 miles southeast of the VOR/DME and decreased in 
width from 4.2 to 1.6 miles each side of centerline. The extension to 
the Class E5 airspace relative to the Columbus ILS localizer course is 
changed in length from 10.5 miles northwest of the airport to 7 miles 
northwest of the Platte Center NDB and decreased in width from 4 miles 
to 3.8 miles each side of centerline. The Columbus Municipal Airport 
ARP is corrected in both legal descriptions. These modifications bring 
the legal descriptions of the Columbus, NE Class E airspace areas into 
compliance with FAA Orders 7400.2E and 8260.19C. Class E airspace areas 
designated as surface areas are published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA 
Order 7400.9M, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 
30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, 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 comment 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-2005-20752/Airspace Docket No. 05-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 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
