14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-31]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Sheridan, IN
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Sheridan, IN. A
Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure
(SIAP) to Runway (Rwy) 05, and a GPS SIAP to Rwy 23, have been
developed for Sheridan Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain
aircraft executing the approaches. This action increases the radius of
the existing controlled airspace for this airport.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 9, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Annette Davis, Air Traffic Division,
Airspace Branch, AGL-520, Federal Aviation Administration, 2300 East
Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, telephone (847) 294-7568.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Monday, May 17, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71
to modify Class E airspace at Sheridan, IN (64 FR 26712). The proposal
was to 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 area extending upward 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
The amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at
Sheridan, IN, to accommodate aircraft executing the proposed GPS Rwy 05
SIAP, and the GPS Rwy 23 SIAP, at Sheridan Airport by modifying the
existing controlled airspace. The area will be depicted on appropriate
aeronautical charts.
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.
