[Airspace Docket No. 98-AEA-30]
Amendment to Class E Airspace; East Hampton, NY
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet Above Ground Level (AGL) at East Hampton, NY. The development of
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) based on the VHF
Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR), Distance Measuring Equipment (DME),
Area Navigation (RNAV) and Global Positioning System (GPS) at East
Hampton Airport, NY, has made this action necessary. This action is
intended to provide adequate Class E airspace for instrument flight
rules (IFR) operations by aircraft executing the VOR/DME RNAV or GPS
RWY 28 SIAP, VOR/DME RNAV or GPS RWY 10 SIAP and VOR or GPS-A SIAP to
East Hampton Airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 28, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 2, 1998, a notice proposing to amend Part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to amend the Class E
airspace at East Hampton, NY, was published in the Federal Register (63
FR 53001). The development of the VOR/DME RNAV or GPS RWY 28 SIAP, VOR/
DME RNAV or GPS RWY 10 SIAP and VOR or GPS-A SIAP for East Hampton
Airport requires that amendment of the Class E airspace at East
Hampton, NY. The notice proposed to amend controlled airspace extending
upward from 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 to 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 7400.9F, dated September 10, 1998, and effective September
16, 1998, 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 East Hampton, NY, to provide
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL for aircraft
executing the VOR/DME RNAV or GPS RWY 28 SIAP, VOR/DME RNAV or GPS RWY
10 and VOR or GPS-A SIAP to East Hampton 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 a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under DOT Regulatory Polices 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 significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
