14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. 96-ACE-24]


Amendment to Class E Airspace, Sidney, NE

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: The direct final rule, published on January 14, 1997, amends 
the Class E airspace area at Sidney Municipal Airport, Sidney, NE. The 
Federal Aviation Administration has developed a Standard Instrument 
Approach Procedure (SIAP) based on the Global Positioning System. The 
effect of the direct final rule is to provide additional controlled 
airspace for aircraft departing Sidney Municipal Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 22, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic Division, Operations Branch, ACE-530C, 
Federal Aviation Administration, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas City, MO 
64106, telephone: (816) 426-3408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published the direct final rule with 
a request for comments in the Federal Register on January 14, 1997 (62 
FR 1827). The FAA uses the direct final rulemaking procedure for a non-
controversial rule where the FAA believes that there will be no adverse 
public comment. This direct final rule advised the public that no 
adverse comments were anticipated, and that unless a written adverse 
comment, or a written notice of intent to submit such an adverse 
comment, was received within the comment period, the regulation would 
become effective on May 22, 1997. No adverse comments were received, 
and thus this document confirms that this final rule will become 
effective on that date.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on February 26, 1997.

Manager, Air Traffic Division, Central Region.
