    SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 
    700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) at Logan, WV. The development of new 
    Standards Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) based on the Global 
    Positioning System (GPS) to Logan County Airport, Logan, WV, requires 
    the establishment of controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
    Above Ground Level (AGL) to accommodate the SIAPs and for Instrument 
    Flight Rules (IFR) operations to the airport. This action is intended 
    to provide adequate Class E airspace to contain IFR operations to Logan 
    County Airport at Logan, WV.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 20, 1999.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    
    History
    
        On February 19, 1999, a notice proposing to amend Part 71 of the 
    Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to establish Class E 
    airspace at Logan, WV, was published in the Federal Register (64 FR 
    8271). A GPS RWY 6 SIAP and GPS RWY 24 SIAP have been developed for 
    Logan County Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 
    feet AGL is needed to accommodate the SIAPs and for IFR operations at 
    the airport.
        The notice proposed to establish controlled airspace extending 
    upward from 700 feet AGL to contain IFR operations in controlled 
    airspace during portions of the terminal operation and while 
    transitioning between the enroute and terminal environments.
        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
    
    [[Page 15680]]
    
    received. The rule is adopted as proposed.
        The coordinated for this airspace docket are based on North 
    American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas designations for airspace 
    extending upward from 700 feet AGL are published in 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 Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
    CFR part 71) establishes Class E airspace at Logan, WV, to provide 
    controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL for aircraft 
    executing the GPS RWY 6 SIAP and GPS RWY 24 SIAP to Logan County 
    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 significant economic impact on a 
    substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
    Regulatory Flexibility Act.
