Establishment of Class E Airspace; Savanna, IL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace near Savanna, IL, to
accommodate a new Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance
Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME-A) instrument approach procedure to Tri-
Township Airport, Savanna, IL. Controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed for Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) operations during portions of the terminal operation
and while transiting between the enroute and terminal environments. The
area will be depicted on aeronautical charts to enable pilots to
circumnavigate the area in order to comply with applicable Visual
Flight Rules (VFR) requirements.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., August 18, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Wednesday, April 6, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E
airspace near Savanna, IL (59 FR 16155). Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to
the proposal were received.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace designations 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 Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
establishes Class E airspace near Savanna, IL, to accommodate a new
VOR/DME-A instrument approach procedure to Tri-Township Airport,
Savanna, IL. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet
AGL is needed for IFR operations during portions of the terminal
operation and while transiting between the enroute and terminal
environments. The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts to
enable pilots to circumnavigate the area in order to comply with
applicable VFR requirements.
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 effect 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).
