SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 8, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E
airspace area at Grand Canyon-Valle Airport, AZ (61 FR 52734). This
action will provide adequate controlled airspace to accommodate a VOR/
DME RWY 19 and GPS RWY 01/19 SIAP at Grand Canyon-Valle Airport, 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 7400.9D dated
September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation 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) establishes a Class E airspace area at Grand Canyon-Valle
Airport, AZ. The development of a VOR/DME and GPS SIAP to Grand Canyon-
Valle Airport has made this action necessary. The effect of this action
will provide adequate airspace for aircraft executing the VOR/DME RWY
19 and GPS RWY 01/19 SIAP at Grand Canyon-Valle Airport, 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 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 his 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
