The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), part 71 by establishing Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface for SIAPs
operations at Antelope County Airport,
Neligh, NE. Controlled airspace is
needed for the safety and management
of IFR operations at the airport.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and
effective October 31, 2008, 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. It,
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
therefore, (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,
when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1,
Section 106 describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency’s
authority. 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 airspace necessary to ensure the
safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority as it would
establish controlled airspace at
Antelope County Airport, Neligh, NE.

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E
airspace at Lake Havasu City Airport,
Lake Havasu, AZ. Controlled airspace
extending 700 feet above the surface is
necessary to accommodate aircraft using
the new RNAV (GPS) SIAPs at Lake
Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ.
This action would enhance the safety
and management of aircraft operations
at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake
Havasu, AZ.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9S, signed October 3, 2008,
and effective October 31, 2008, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in this 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,
when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
The FAAs authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1,
Section 106, describes the authority for
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more

for emergency interchange and
reliability adjustment interchange
service. In addition, the revisions set
forth appropriate response times for all
requests for on-time, emergency and
reliability adjustment interchange
service.

I. Background
A. EPAct 2005 and Mandatory
Reliability Standards
3. On August 8, 2005, the Electricity
Modernization Act of 2005 was enacted
as Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005).4 EPAct
2005 added section 215 to the FPA,
requiring the Commission-certified
Electric Reliability Organization (ERO)
to develop mandatory and enforceable
Reliability Standards to provide for the
reliable operation of the Bulk-Power
System, subject to Commission review
and approval. Once approved, the
Reliability Standards may be enforced
by the ERO, subject to Commission
oversight, or by the Commission
independently.5
4. On February 3, 2006, the
Commission issued Order No. 672,
implementing section 215.6 Pursuant to
Order No. 672, the Commission certified
NERC as the ERO.7 The ERO is required
to develop Reliability Standards, subject
to Commission review and approval,
applicable to users, owners and
operators of the Bulk-Power System, as
set forth in each Reliability Standard.
5. Section 215(d)(2) of the FPA states
that the Commission may approve, by
rule or order, a proposed Reliability
Standard or modification to a Reliability
Standard if it determines that the
Standard is just, reasonable, not unduly
discriminatory or preferential, and in
changes are made, or else within two years. NERC
states that the current revisions are not substantial
enough to change the intent, scope or purpose of
the prior versions of the Reliability Standards.
3 The Commission is not proposing any new or
modified text to its regulations. Rather, as set forth
in 18 CFR Part 40, a proposed Reliability Standard
will not become effective until approved by the
Commission, and the Electric Reliability
Organization (ERO) must post on its Web site each
effective Reliability Standard.

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E airspace at Lake
Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ. Controlled airspace extending 700
feet above the surface is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the
new RNAV (GPS) SIAPs at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ. This
action would enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations
at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9S, signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31,
2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in this 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, when
promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAAs authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
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
as it modifies additional controlled airspace at Lake Havasu City
Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ.
