14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 97-AWP-21]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Kingman, AZ
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final Rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace area at Kingman, AZ.
The establishment of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 3 and GPS RWY 21
at Kingman Airport has made this action necessary. Additional
controlled airspace extending upward form 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing the GPS
RWY 3 SIAP to Kingman Airport. The intended effect of this action is to
provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations Kingman Airport, Kingman, AZ.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC September 9, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 7, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by
modifying the Class E airspace area at Kingman, AZ (64 FR 30260).
Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is
needed to contain aircraft executing the GPS RWY 3 SIAP at Kingman
Airport. This action will provide adequate controlled airspace for IFR
operations at Kingman Airport, Kingman, AZ.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments to the proposal were received. Class E airspace
designations for airspace extending from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9F dated September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998,
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 14 CRR part 71 modifies the Class E airspace area
at Kingman, AZ. Controlled airspace
[[Page 43262]]
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is required for
aircraft executing the GPS RWY 3 and GPS RWS 21 SIAP at Kingman
Airport. The effect of this action will provide adequate airspace for
aircraft executing the GPS RWY 3 SIAP at Kingman Airport, Kingman, AZ.
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 his 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
