DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-ANM-20]
Proposed Amendment to Class E Airspace; Hoquiam, WA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This proposed rule would amend the Hoquiam, Washington, Class
E airspace. The action would provide controlled airspace for a new
instrument approach procedure at the Hoquiam, Bowerman Airport,
Hoquiam, Washington. Airspace reclassification, in effect as of
September 16, 1993, has discontinued the use of the term ``transition
area,'' replacing it with the designation ``Class E airspace.'' The
area would be depicted on aeronautical charts to provide reference for
pilots.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 15, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Manager,
System Management Branch, ANM-530, Federal Aviation Administration,
Docket No. 94-ANM-20, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, Washington 98055-
4056.
The official docket may be examined at the same address.
An informal docket may also be examined during normal business
hours at the address listed above.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to amend Class E airspace at
Hoquium, Washington, to provide controlled airspace for a new
instrument approach procedure at the Bowerman Airport. The area would
be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. Airspace
reclassification, in effect as of September 16, 1993, has discontinued
the use of the term ``transition area,'' and certain airspace extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth is now
designated Class E airspace. 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 above the surface
of the earth 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
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
