14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-ASO-25]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Hampton, GA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment establishes Class E airspace at Hampton, GA. A
GPS RWY 24 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been
developed for Clayton County-Tara Field. Controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface (AGL) is needed to accommodate
this SIAP and for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the
airport. The operating status of the airport will change from VFR to
include IFR operations concurrent with publication of the SIAP.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 25, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 4, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E
airspace at Hampton GA (60 FR 396). This action would provide adequate
Class E airspace for IFR operations at Clayton County-Tara Field.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Designations for
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July
18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994. 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) establishes Class E airspace at Hampton, GA, to
accommodate a GPS RWY 24 SIAP and contain IFR operations at Clayton
County-Tara Field. The operating status of the airport will be changed
from VFR to include [[Page 13627]] IFR operations concurrent with
publication of the SIAP.
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
