DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AEA-12]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Kingston, NY
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule establishes additional controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for an existing
standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) at the Kingston-Ulster
Airport, Kingston, NY. Additionally, the geographic position for Sky
Park Airport, contained in the legal description for Class E airspace
at Red Hook, NY, is being updated to reflect the actual location of
this airport. This action establishes that amount of controlled
airspace deemed necessary by the FAA to contain aircraft within
controlled airspace while executing the existing SIAP.
DATES: Effective date: 0901 u.t.c. March 30, 1995. Comment Date:
Comments must be received on or before January 20, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on the rule in triplicate to: Manager, System
Management Branch, AEA-530, Docket No. 94-AEA-12, F.A.A. Eastern
Region, Fitzgerald Federal Building #111, John F. Kennedy International
Airport, Jamaica, New York 11430.
The official docket may be examined in the Office of the Assistant
Chief Counsel, AEA-7, at the address listed above. An informal docket
may also be examined during normal business hours at the address listed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Comments on the Rule
Although this action is a final rule, which involves establishing
additional controlled airspace extending upwards from 700 feet above
the surface of the earth, and was not preceded by notice and public
procedure, comments are invited on the rule. This rule will become
effective on the date specified in the ``DATES'' section. However,
after the review of any comments and, if the FAA finds that further
changes are appropriate, it will initiate rulemaking proceedings to
extend the effective date or to amend the regulation.
Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and
suggestions presented are particularly helpful in evaluating the
effects of the rule, and in determining whether additional rulemaking
is required. Comments are specifically invited on the overall
regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related
aspects of the rule which might suggest the need to modify the rule.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) establishes additional controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface of the earth deemed necessary by
the FAA to contain aircraft within controlled airspace while executing
an existing published SIAP at the Kingston-Ulster Airport, Kingston,
NY. Additionally, the geographic position for Sky Park Airport,
contained in the legal description for Class E airspace at Red Hook,
NY, is being updated to reflect the actual location of this airport.
Class E airspace designations for airspace extending from 700 feet
or more above the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005
of FAA Order 7400.9B, dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16,
1994, 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.
Under the circumstances presented, the FAA concludes that there is
an immediate need to establish additional Class E airspace at Kingston,
NY, in order to promote the safe and efficient handling of air traffic
in this area. Therefore, I find that notice and public procedures under
5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary to the public interest.
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.
