Amendment of Class E Airspace; Ely, NV
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace area at Ely, NV. The
establishment of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument
Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 18 has made this action
necessary. The intended effect of this action is to provide additional
controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Ely
Airport (Yelland Field), Ely, NV.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC August 15, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 11, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class E airspace
area at Ely, NV (61 FR 9656). On April 8, 1996, the FAA issued a
supplemental notice to amend this proposal to establish a Class E
airspace area at Ely, NV (61 FR 15432).
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposals to the FAA.
No comments to the proposals were received. Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C dated
August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
this Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) amends the Class E airspace area at Ely, NV. The
development of a GPS SIAP to RWY 18 has made this action necessary. The
intended effect of this action is to provide additional controlled
airspace for IFR operations at Ely Airport (Yelland Field), Ely, NV.
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.
Therefore, this regulation--(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 10034; 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.
