14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AWP-2]
Modification of Class E Airspace; Mojave, CA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace area at Mojave, CA.
The establishment of a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 4 and GPS RWY 22
at Mojave Airport has made this proposal necessary. Additional
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing the GPS
RWY 4 and GPS RWY 22 SIAP to Mojave Airport. The intended effect of
this action is to provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Mojave Airport, Mojave, CA. This
action also corrects an error in the geographic coordinates of the
Mojave Airport, CA, and removes the Edward AFB, CA, header of the
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that was published in the Federal
Register on July 7, 1999 (64 FR 36631) Airspace Docket No. 99-AWP-2.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC November 4, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 7, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by
modifying the Class E airspace area at Mojave, CA (64 FR 36631).
Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the GPS RWY 4 and GPS
RWY 22 SIAP at Mojave Airport. This action will provide adequate
controlled airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 4 and GPS RWY 22
SIAP at Mojave Airport, Mojave, CA.
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 CFR part 71 modifies the Class E airspace area
at Mojave, CA. The development of a GPS RWY 4 and GPS RWY 22 SIAP has
made this action necessary. The effect of this action will provide
adequate airspace for aircraft executing the GPS RWY 4 and GPS RWY 22
SIAP at Mojave Airport, Mojave, CA.
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
