DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 93-ACE-07]
Proposed Revisions of Class E Airspace; Harper Municipal Airport,
KS
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice proposes to revise Class E airspace at Harper
Municipal Airport, Harper, Kansas, by excluding Park, Kansas, airport,
a private airport northeast of Harper, Kansas, from controlled
airspace. Prior to the Airspace Reclassification project, the
``transition area'' for Harper was designed to exclude Park Airport.
However, when the Harper airspace was modified to meet the new
standards, the reference to the Park Airport was inadvertently omitted.
The intended effect of this proposal is to delete Class E airspace
above the Park, Kansas, Airport.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 7, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Manager,

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E airspace at
Harper, Kansas, airport extending from 700 feet above the surface. The
intended effect of the change is to delete Class E airspace above the
Park Airport (private) located northeast of Harper, Kansas. Prior to
the Airspace Reclassification project, the ``transition area'' for
Harper was designed to exclude Park Airport. However, when the Harper
airspace was modified to meet the new standards, the reference to the
Park Airport was inadvertently omitted. Airspace Reclassification, in
effect as of September 16, 1993, has discontinued the use of the term
``transition area,'' and airspace extending upward from 700 feet or
more above the surface is now Class E airspace. 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, when designated in conjunction with an airport, are published
in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and
effective September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant
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).
