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 6.8mile radius to within a 7.8-mile radius of the airport.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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:

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

[[Page 1280]]

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.
