SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 26, 1998, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising the McCall
Class E airspace area at McCall, ID, (63 FR 3674). This action provides
the airspace to fully encompass two SIAPs for the McCall Airport. The
coordinates for the airport were recently updated and are corrected
herein. 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 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 modifies Class E airspace at
McCall, ID. This modification of airspace is necessary to fully contain
the Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway 34 SIAP and the Non-
directional Radio Beacon (NDB) Runway 34 SIAP within controlled
airspace. This revision adds approximately 45 miles of additional
airspace to the west, a 17 mile extension to the south, and smaller
extensions to the north and east. The FAA establishes Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet AGL, where necessary, to contain
aircraft transitioning between the terminal and en route environments.
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 McCall 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.
