14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 97-ANM-3]
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Salt Lake City, Utah
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action amends the Salt Lake City, Utah, Class E airspace.
This action is necessary to fully contain aircraft, holding at WAATS
Intersection, within controlled airspace. The area will be depicted on
aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 30, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Riley, ANM-532.2, Federal
Aviation Administration, Docket No. 97-ANM-3, 1601 Lind Avenue S.W.,
Renton, Washington, 98055-4056; telephone number: (206) 227-2537.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 3, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class E airspace
area at Salt Lake City, Utah, (62 FR 9399) to fully contain aircraft
holding at WAATS Intersection, within controlled airspace. Currently,
there is a possibility that aircraft holding at WATTS intersection, at
certain altitudes, would be operating outside controlled airspace. This
action corrects that situation. 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 7400.9D dated
September 4, 1996, and effective September 16, 1996, 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 Federal Aviation Regulations amends
Class E airspace at Salt Lake City, Utah. 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 will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
