SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 7, 2004, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by
modifying the Class E airspace area at Beckwourth, CA (69 FR 18309).
Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the RNAV
(GPS) RWY 25 IAP and RNAV DP's at Beckwourth-Nervino Airport. This
action will provide adequate controlled airspace for aircraft executing
the RNAV (GPS) RWY 25 IAP and RNAV DP's to Beckwourth-Nervino Airport,
Beckwourth, 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
7400.9L, dated September 2, 2003, and effective September 16, 2003,
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 establishes a Class E airspace
area at Beckwourth, CA. The establishment of a RNAV (GPS) RWY 25 and
two RNAV DP's to Beckwourth-Nervino Airport has made this action
necessary. The effect of this action will provide adequate airspace for
aircraft executing the RNAV (GPS) RWY 25 and RNAV DP's at Beckwourth-
Nervino Airport, Beckwourth, 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.
