14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 93-ACE-07]
Revision of Class E Airspace; Harper Municipal Airport, KS/
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace at the Harper
Municipal Airport, Harper, Kansas. Prior to the Airspace
Reclassification, the Class E airspace for Harper, Kansas, was designed
to exclude that airspace east of 98 degrees longitude. However, during
Airspace Reclassification, the excluded area, including the Bob Park
Airport (private), was inadvertently omitted. The intended effect of
this action is to exclude the Class E airspace east of 98 degrees
longitude above the Bob Park Airport (private) located northeast of
Harper, Kansas. The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts to
provide a reference for pilots operating in the area.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., December 8, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 7, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify Class E
airspace at the Harper Municipal Airport, Harper, Kansas (59 FR 4612).
Prior to Airspace Reclassification, the Class E airspace area for
Harper, Kansas excluded that airspace east of 98 degrees longitude.
During Airspace Reclassification, this excluded area was inadvertently
omitted. The NPRM proposed to exclude that airspace ``north of Hwy 160
and east of longitude 98 00'00'' W. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. One commenter objected to the
proposal because it did not exclude all the airspace east of 98 degrees
longitude. The inclusion of the airspace ``north of Hwy 160'' within
the excluded area was in error. This amendment corrects that error in
the NPRM by deleting the Class E airspace east of 98 degrees longitude,
which was inadvertently omitted in the airspace reclassification. It
has been determined this exclusion will not compromise safety to
aircraft arriving or departing the Harper, Kansas, Municipal Airport.
Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward from
700 feet or more above ground level are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9B, dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16
1994, 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 the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) amends Class E airspace at Harper, Kansas, by excluding
the Class E airspace east of 98 degrees longitude above the Bob Park
airport (private) located northeast of Harper, Kansas.
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.
It, therefore--(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
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
