14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 98-ACE-34]
Amendment to Class E Airspace; Kansas City, MO
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration [FAA], DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice amends the Class E airspace area at Kansas City
International Airport, MO. The Kansas City VHF Omnidirectional Range/
Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) has been relocated from its present
position to the Kansas City International airport, MO. Relocating the
Kansas City VORTAC requires amending the radial for the VHF
Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) or
Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) Runway (RWY) 27, Standard Instrument
Approach Procedure (SIAP). Also, a review of the Class E airspace area
for Kansas City International Airport indicates it does not comply with
the criteria for 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) airspace required
for diverse departures as specified in FAA Order 7400.2D. This notice
enlarges the Class E airspace to conform to the criteria of FAA Order
7400.2D. The review indicated the Instrument Landing System (ILS)
localizer RWY 19R, ILS RWY 19L, ILS RWY 1L, ILS RWY 1R, and coordinates
should be included in the text header for the Kansas City International
Airport, MO. Minor corrections are also being made to the legal
description of the Kansas City International Airport Class E airspace.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC November 4, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic Division,
Airspace Branch, ACE-520C, Federal Aviation Administration, 601 E. 12th
Street, Kansas City, MO 64106; telephone: (816) 426-3408.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 19, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending the Class E airspace area at
Kansas City, MO (64 FR 38607). This action will provide additional
controlled airspace to accommodate the VOR/DME or TACAN RWY 27 SIAP and
comply with the criteria of FAA Order 7400.2D. Minor corrections are
also being made to the text header and legal description of the Class E
airspace. After careful review of all available information related to
the subject presented above, the FAA has determined that air safety and
the public interest require adoption of the rule. The FAA has
determined that this correction will not change the meaning of the
action nor add any additional burden on the public beyond that already
published.
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
areas 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
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Regulations (14 CFR part
71) amends the Class E airspace area at Kansas city, MO, by providing
additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the VOR/DME or
TACAN RWY 27 SIAP to the Kansas City International airport, and comply
with the criteria of FAA Order 7400.2D. This action also corrects the
legal description of the 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.
