SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 30, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by modifying the Class E
airspace area at Page, AZ (59 FR 63938). This action will provide
additional controlled airspace to accommodate a VOR-A instrument
approach procedure to Runway 15 at the Page Municipal Airport.
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 E airspace areas
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.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at Page, Arizona, by
providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the
VOR-A instrument approach procedure to Runway 15 at the Page Municipal
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 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.
