DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AWP-5]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Ukiah, CA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Ukiah, CA. An
automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) has been installed at the
Ukiah Municipal Airport meeting the criterion for a surface area.
Controlled airspace extending from the surface is needed for Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Ukiah Municipal Airport. The area will
be depicted on aeronautical charts to provide a reference for pilots
operating in the area.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., December 8, 1994.

Administration, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Lawndale, California 90261;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 15, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at
Ukiah, CA. (59 FR 14805). An AWOS has been installed at the Ukiah
Municipal Airport, Ukiah, CA. The proposal was to modify controlled
airspace from 700 to 1200 feet AGL and to add controlled airspace
extending from the surface for IFR operations at Ukiah Municipal
Airport.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceedings by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No objections were received concerning this proposal.
The coordinates in the proposal are based on North American Datum
83. Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 6002 and
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 designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in this Order.
The Rule
The amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulation
establishes and amends Class E airspace at Ukiah, CA. This action
modifies controlled airspace from 700 to 1200 feet AGL and establishes
controlled airspace from the surface for IFR operations at the Ukiah
Municipal Airport at Ukiah, 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.
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
