14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 97-AGL-29]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Delaware, OH
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Delaware, OH. A
Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
(SIAP) to Runway 10 and a GPS SIAP to Runway 28 have been developed for
Delaware Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from
700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft
executing the approaches. This action increases the radius of the
existing controlled airspace for the airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 1, 1998.

Division, Airspace Branch, AGL-520, Federal Aviation Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Friday, July 25, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify Class E
airspace for Delaware, OH (62 FR 39982). The proposal was to add
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL to
contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations in controlled airspace
during portions of the terminal operation and while transiting 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 objecting to the proposal were received. Class E airspace
designations for airspace areas 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 part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) modifies Class E airspace at Delaware, OH, to accommodate
aircraft executing the GPS Runway 10 SIAP and the GPS Runway 28 SIAP at
Delaware Municipal Airport by increasing the radius of the existing
controlled airspace for the airport. Controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed to contain aircraft
executing the approaches. The area will be depicted on appropriate
aeronautical charts.
[[Page 56066]]
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 a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
