DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-ASW-16]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Ozona, TX
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above ground level (AGL) at Ozona Municipal Airport, Ozona,
TX. The development of a Global Positioning System (GPS) standard
instrument approach procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 16 has made this
action necessary. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing the
SIAP. This action is intended to provide adequate Class E airspace to
contain instrument flight rule (IFR) operations for aircraft executing
the SIAP at Ozona Municipal Airport, Ozona, TX.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, July 20, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On December 5, 1994, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish the Class E airspace
at Ozona, TX, was published in the Federal Register (59 FR 62364). A
GPS SIAP developed for Ozona Municipal Airport, Ozona, TX, requires
Class E airspace. 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 the Class E airspace located at Ozona
Municipal Airport, Ozona, TX, to provide controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 feet AGL for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 16 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
