Establishment of Class E Airspace; Apple Valley, CA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class E airspace area at Apple
Valley, CA. The development of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway
(RWY) 18 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has made this
action necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide
adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations at Apple Valley Airport, Apple Valley, CA.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC June 18, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On May 30, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by
establishing a Class E airspace area at Apple Valley, CA (62 FR 29312).
This action will provide adequate controlled airspace to accommodate
the GPS RWY 18 SIAP at Apple Valley Airport, Apple Valley, CA.
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
designations for airspace extending from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9E dated September 10, 1997, and effective September 16, 1997,
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 establishes a Class E airspace
area at Apple Valley, CA. The development of a GPS SIAP has made this
action necessary. The effect of this action will provide adequate
airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 18 SIAP at Apple Valley
Airport, Apple Valley, CA.
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
[[Page 17936]]
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.
