SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 2, 1998, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising the
Leadville, CO, Class E airspace area (63 FR 53319). This revision
provides the additional airspace necessary to encompass the GPS Runway
16 SIAP for the Lake County Airport.
Interested parties were invited to participate in the rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments
were received.
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 of the earth, is published 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 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at
Leadville, CO, by providing the additional airspace at Lake County
Airport. This modification of airspace enlarges the 700-foot Class E
area to meet current criteria standards to accommodate the landing and
the holding procedures for the SIAP. The intended effect of this rule
is designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace
and to promote safe flight operations under Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) at the Lake County Airport and between the terminal and en route
transition stages.
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.
