DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 93-AWP-25]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Bullhead City, AZ
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Bullhead City, AZ.
A Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring
Equipment (VOR/DME) standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) has
been developed for the Bullhead Laughlin Municipal Airport at Bullhead
City, AZ. Controlled airspace extending from 700 to 1200 feet above
ground level (AGL) is needed for aircraft executing the approach. The
area will be depicted on aeronautical charts to provide a reference for
pilots operating in the area.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., June 23, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 5, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish a class E
airspace area at Bullhead City, AZ. (59 FR 3801) A SIAP was being
developed for the Bullhead Laughlin Municipal Airport at Bullhead, AZ.
The proposal was to add controlled airspace extending from 700 feet to
1200 feet AGL for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations during
portions of the terminal operation and while transiting 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 objections were received concerning this proposal.
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 ground level is now Class
E airspace. Other than that change in terminology, this amendment is
the same as that proposed in the notice. The coordinates in the
proposal were North American Datum 27; however, these coordinates have
been updated to North American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations
for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above ground
level 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 will be
published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulation
establishes Class E airspace at Bullhead, AZ, to provide controlled
airspace from 700 to 1200 feet AGL for aircraft executing the VOR/DME
SIAP into the Bullhead Laughlin Municipal Airport at Bullhead, AZ.
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 ``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
