AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class D and amends Class E airspace
areas at Elko Municipal-J.C. Harris Field, Elko, NV. The development of
a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach
Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 5 and the establishment of a Airport
Traffic Control Tower has made this action necessary. An intended
effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled airspace for
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Elko Municipal-J.C. Harris
Field, Elko, NV.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC February 29, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 30, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class D
and amending Class E airspace at Elko, NV (60 FR 55222).
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 D and Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, and 6005 of FAA
Order 7900.9C dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E
airspace designations 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 the Class D and amends the Class E airspace
areas at Elko, NV. An intended effect of this action is to provide
adequate controlled airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 5 SIAP
at Elko Municipal-J.C. Harris Field, Elko, NV.
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 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).
