14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 97-AEA-33]
Amendment to Class E Airspace; Summersville, WV
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action revises the Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) at Summersville, WV. The development
of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach
Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 22 at Summersville Airport has made
this action necessary. This action is intended to provide adequate
Class E airspace to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
for aircraft executing the GPS SIAP to RWY 22 at Summersville, WV.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 1, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On August 22, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR Part 71 to
revise the Class E airspace at Point Pleasant, WV (62 FR 44604). A GPS
SIAP to RWY 22 developed for Summersville Airport, Summersville, WV,
requires the revision of the Class E airspace at the airport. The
notice proposed to revise the controlled airspace extending upward for
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 of 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 AGL 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 the document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment 14 CFR Part 71 amends the Class E airspace located
at Summersville, WV, to provide controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 feet AGL for aircraft executing a GPS RWY 22 SIAP to
Summersville 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 ``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 a 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.
