DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-ASW-19]
Establishment and Revision of Class E Airspace; Fayetteville, AR
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from
the surface as an extension to the Class D airspace at Drake Field,
Fayetteville, AR. Additionally, this action revises the Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 fee above ground level (AGL) at
Drake Field, Fayetteville, AR. The development of a new Microwave
Landing System (MLS) standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) has
made this action necessary. This action is intended to provide adequate
Class E airspace to contain instrument flight rule (IFR) operations for
aircraft executing the MLS SIAP at Drake Field, Fayetteville, AR.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, July 20, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On December 16, 1994, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish and amend the Class
E airspace at Fayetteville, AR, was published in the Federal Register
(59 FR 64879). A MLS SIAP developed for Drake Field, Fayetteville, AR,
requires additional Class E airspace from the surface to 700 feet AGL
as an extension to the Class D airspace presently established at this
airport. Additionally, the proposal was to revise the controlled
airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL to contain IFR operations
in controlled airspace during portions of the terminal operation and
while transitioning 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 comments to the proposal were received. Therefore the rule is
adopted as proposed.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas
extending upward from 700 feet or more AGL are published in Paragraph
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective September
16, 1994, 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 the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) establishes new controlled airspace and revises the Class
E airspace [[Page 27876]] located at Drake Field, Fayetteville, AR, to
provide controlled airspace for aircraft executing the MLS SIAP.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations that need frequent and
routine amendments 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.
