Amendment of Class E Airspace; Page, AZ
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace area at Page, AZ. The
development of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument
Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 15 has made this action
necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate
controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at
Page Municipal Airport, Page, AZ.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC February 29, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Speer, Airspace Specialist,
System Management Branch, AWP-530, Air Traffic Division, Western-
Pacific Region, Federal Aviation Administration, 15000 Aviation
Boulevard, Lawndale, California, 90261, telephone (310) 725-6533.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 3, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class E
airspace area at Page, AZ (60 FR 55813). This action would provide
adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations at Page Municipal Airport, Page, AZ.
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. Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C dated
August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
this Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at Page, AZ. The intended
effect of this action is to provide adequate airspace for aircraft
executing the GPS RWY 15 SIAP at Page Municipal Airport, Page, AZ.
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 proposed 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 10034; 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 a
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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
