Federal Aviation Administration
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 97-AGL-10]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Harvey, ND, Harvey Municipal
Airport
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Harvey, ND. A
Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
(SIAP) to Runway 11 and a GPS SIAP to Runway 29 has been developed for
Harvey Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700
to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft
executing the approach. The intended effect of this action is to
provide segregation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures in
instrument conditions from other aircraft operating in visual weather
conditions.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, November 6, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Tuesday, May 13, 1997, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E
airspace at Harvey, ND (62 FR 26264). The proposal would add controlled
airspace extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL to contain
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations in controlled airspace during
portions of the terminal operation and while transiting 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 objecting to the proposal were received. 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 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996, and effective September 16,
1996, 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 Class E airspace at Harvey, ND, to accommodate
aircraft executing the GPS Runway 11 SIAP and the GPS Runway 29 SIAP at
Harvey Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700
to 1200 feet AGL is needed to contain aircraft executing the approach.
The area will be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts thereby
enabling pilots to circumnavigate the area or otherwise comply with IFR
procedures.
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 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.
