SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Thursday, January 5, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E 
airspace at David City, NE (71 FR 552). The proposal was to establish a 
Class E5 airspace area to bring David City, NE airspace into compliance 
with FAA directives. 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.

The Rule

    This notice amends part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) by establishing a Class E airspace area extending upward 
from 700 feet above the surface at David City Municipal Airport, NE. 
The establishment of a Very High Frequency (VHF) Omni-directional Range 
(VOR)/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) Instrument Approach Procedure 
(IAP) to Runway (RWY) 32 and Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 
System

[[Page 8939]]

(GPS) IAPs to RWYs 14 and 32 has made this action necessary. The 
intended effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled 
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at David City Municipal 
Airport, NE. The area will be depicted on appropriate 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 
7400.9N, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 
2005, and effective September 15, 2005, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. of the same Order. The Class E airspace 
designation 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 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.
    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 
David City Municipal Airport.
