SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On June 24, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at Neligh, NE, adding controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Antelope County Airport, Neligh, NE. (74 FR 30024, Docket No. FAA–2009– 0191). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. 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 Part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. upward from 700 feet above the surface at Antelope County Airport, Neligh, NE, for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine 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, 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 adds controlled airspace at Antelope County Airport, Neligh, NE.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Colby Abbott, Airspace and Rules Group, Office of System Operations VerDate Nov<24>2008 14:52 Sep 04, 2009 Jkt 217001 History On Wednesday, December 24, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish low altitude area navigation route T–265 (73 FR 79035). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. Two comments were received in response to the NPRM. Discussion of Comments One commenter suggested the FAA establish a similar T-route between Portland, OR, and Seattle, WA. The commenter based his discussion on the icing conditions pilots experience while flying in that area during the winter months, as they comply with published minimum en-route altitudes between the cities. The comment received provided no substantive information relative to the proposed T–265 RNAV route and falls outside the scope of this rulemaking action. However, the commenter’s remarks will be shared with the FAA Western Service Area for their consideration in future airway actions, as appropriate. The second commenter opposed the proposed route, stating it was too far west of Chicago to be very helpful to general aviation aircraft. The commenter further stated general aviation needed Troutes to help skirt by or through controlled airspace to save air-miles. T–265 was proposed to establish an RNAV route to efficiently manage transient air traffic through the Chicago/ Rockford International Airport approach control airspace and remain clear of the Chicago Class B high density airspace area. As a practical matter, the Chicago/ Rockford approach control air traffic controllers cannot route air traffic across the northwest corner of the Chicago Class B as this would impact the JANESVILLE FIVE instrument approach procedure into Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Further complicating use of this airspace are the planned actions underway to establish a system of arrival and departure instrument procedures to and from the west into Chicago O’Hare, the second busiest airport in the national airspace system. As a result of the high volume of air traffic operations and the existing and planned instrument procedures supporting Chicago O’Hare International Airport arrivals and departures, transient instrument flight rules aircraft PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 traveling north or south around the Chicago Class B high density airspace area have to file either east of Chicago over Lake Michigan or west of Chicago through the Chicago/Rockford International Airport approach control airspace. For aircraft opting to fly west of Chicago, the proposed T–265 route is the same route of flight currently being issued by Chicago/Rockford approach control air traffic controllers to re-route airborne aircraft through their controlled airspace around the Chicago Class B airspace area. The FAA has determined that establishing T–265 will maximize the efficient use of airspace west of Chicago, and save flying miles for general aviation pilots transiting around the Chicago Class B airspace area. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing route T–265 in the Chicago/ Rockford International Airport, IL, terminal area. The route is intended to be used by GNSS-equipped aircraft that are capable of filing flight plane equipment code ‘‘/G.’’ The route will be depicted in blue on the appropriate IFR en route low altitude charts. The FAA is taking this action to enhance safety and to facilitate the flexible and efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route IFR operations transitioning through the Chicago/Rockford International terminal airspace area west of Chicago, IL. Low altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 6011 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 low altitude RNAV routes listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine 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 Department of Transportation (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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On June 24, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at Neligh, 
NE, adding controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface, at Antelope County Airport, Neligh, NE. (74 FR 30024, Docket 
No. FAA-2009-0191). Interested parties were invited to participate in 
this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal 
to the FAA. No comments were received. 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 Part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed 
in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at Antelope County Airport, Neligh, NE, for the 
safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine 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, 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 adds controlled airspace at Antelope County Airport, Neligh, NE.
