    Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Leadville, CO
    
    AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
    
    ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: This proposed rule would establish the Leadville, Colorado, 
    Class E Airspace. This action is necessary to accommodate a new 
    instrument approach procedure at Lake County Airport, Leadville, 
    Colorado. Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 
    1993, has discontinued the use of the term ``transition area,'' 
    replacing it with the designation ``Class E airspace.'' The area would 
    be depicted on aeronautical charts.
    
    DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 25, 1994.

    The Proposal
    
        The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
    Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at 
    Leadville, Colorado, to accommodate a new instrument approach procedure 
    at Lake County Airport. 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 of the earth is now Class E airspace. The area would be 
    depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. 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 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 
    economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
    criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
