14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 97-AEA-37]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Ticonderoga, NY
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) at Ticonderoga, NY. The development
of Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAP) at Ticonderoga Municipal Airport has made this action
necessary. This action is intended to provide adequate Class E airspace
to
[[Page 4384]]
contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations for aircraft executing
the GPS Runway (RWY) 20 SIAP and the GPS RWY 2 SIAP to Ticonderoga
Municipal Airport at Ticonderoga, NY.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 23, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 17, 1997, a notice proposing to amend 14 CFR Part 71 to
establish Class E airspace at Ticonderoga, NY, was published in the
Federal Register (62 FR 53981). A GPS RWY 20 SIAP and a GPS RWY 2 SIAP
developed for Ticonderoga Municipal Airport, Ticonderoga, NY, require
the establishment of Class E airspace at the airport. The notice
proposed to establish controlled airspace extending upward from 700
feet AGL to contain IFR operations in controlled airspace during
portions of the terminal operation and while transitioning between the
enroute and terminal environments.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments to the proposal were received. The rule is adopted as
proposed.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas designations for airspace
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth
are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E, dated September
10, 1997, and effective September 16, 1997, 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 14 CFR Part 71 establishes Class E airspace at
Ticonderoga, NY, to provide controlled airspace extending upward from
700 feet AGL for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 20 SIAP and the GPS RWY
2 SIAP to Ticonderoga Municipal 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 will not have significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
