DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 93-ANM-41]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Longmont, CO
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes the Class E airspace at the Vance
Brand Airport, Longmont, CO. Establishment of a new instrument approach
procedure requires additional controlled airspace for the procedure.
Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has
discontinued use of the term ``transition area,'' replacing it with the
designating ``Class E airspace.'' The Class E airspace will be depicted
on aeronautical charts for pilot reference when the new approach
procedures become effective.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, June 23 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On February 18, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish the Class E
airspace for the Vance Brand Airport, Longmont, Colorado (59 FR 8149).
Interested parties were invited to participate in the rulemaking
process by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
desired. No comments were received.
Airspace reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has
discontinued use of the term ``transition area,'' and airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above ground level is now designated
Class E airspace. Class E airspace designations for airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above ground level are published in Paragraph 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 designation listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order. The coordinates in this
final rule are in North American Datum 93.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
establishes Class E airspace at Longmont, Colorado. It will provide
controlled airspace for a new instrument approach procedure at the
Vance Brand Airport. Establishment of the Class E airspace will result
in greater safety and efficiency at, and in the vicinity of, the
airport. 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
