DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-ANM-26]
Proposed Amendment to Class E Airspace; Trinidad, Colorado
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This proposed rule would amend the Trinidad, Colorado, Class E
airspace to provide controlled airspace for a new instrument approach
procedure at the Trinidad, Perry Stokes Airport, 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 to provide reference for pilots.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 6, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Manager,
System Management Branch, ANM-530, Federal Aviation Administration,
Docket No. 94-ANM-26, 1601 Lind Avenue S.W. Renton, Washington 98055-
4056.
The official docket may be examined at the same address.
An informal docket may also be examined during normal business
hours at the address listed above.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at
Trinidad, Colorado, to provide controlled airspace for a new instrument
approach procedure at the Perry Stokes Airport. The area would be
depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. Airspace
reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has discontinued
the use of the term ``transition area,'' and certain airspace extending
upward from the surface of the earth and from 700 feet or more above
the surface of the earth is now designated Class E airspace. The
coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum
83. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward
from the surface of the earth and from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth are published in Paragraphs 6002 and 6005
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective
September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1
as of September 16, 1993 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The Class E
Airspace designations 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.
