Amendment of Class E Airspace, Lewiston, ID; Establishment of
Class E Airspace, Grangeville, ID
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action amends the Lewiston, ID, Class E airspace and
establishes additional controlled airspace at Grangeville, ID, to
accommodate the development of two new Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAP) utilizing the Global Positioning System (GPS) at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On August 31, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising the Lewiston,
ID, Class E airspace area and establishing additional controlled
airspace at Grangeville, ID (64 FR 47449). This rule provides the
additional airspace necessary to encompass the new SIAP's to the Idaho
County Airport, Grangeville, ID. This amendment provides additional
airspace at Lewiston, ID, to encompass newly established waypoints in
order to satisfy current criteria standards associated with SIAP
holding patterns. This rule also allows for the establishment of
airspace at Grangeville, ID, providing controlled airspace for the
final approach phase of flight for the newly established SIAP's.
Interested parties were invited to participate in the rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments
were received.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700
feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9G, dated September 1, 1999, and effective
September 16, 1999, 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 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at
Lewiston, ID, and establishes Class E airspace at Grangeville, ID by
providing the additional airspace necessary to fully contain new flight
procedures at Idaho County Airport. The intended effect of this rule is
designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace
and to promote safe flight operations under Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) at the Idaho County Airport and between the terminal and en route
transition stages.
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 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).
