SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 22, 2000, the FAA proposed to amend Part 71 of Title 14 of 
the Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class E surface 
area at Kearney, NE (65 FR 32046). The action will amend the Class E 
surface area from part time to full time status.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Class E airspace 
areas designated as a surface area for an airport are published in 
paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9G, dated September 1, 1999, and 
effective September 16, 1999, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will 
be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of Title 14 of the Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at Kearney, NE, from 
part time to full time status. The area will be depicted on appropriate 
aeronautical charts.
    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 routing matter that 
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
