14 CFR Part 71
[Docket FAA 2003-16567; Airspace Docket 03-ANM-14]
Revision of Class E Airspace; Sunriver, OR
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule will revise Class E airspace at Sunriver, OR.
A new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Position System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Sunriver airport, Sunriver, OR,
makes it necessary to increase the Class E airspace. This additional
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth is necessary for the containment and safety of
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft transitioning to/from the en
route environment and executing this SIAP procedure.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 20, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed Haeseker, Federal Aviation
Administration, Air Traffic Organization, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton,
WA, 98055-4056; telephone (425) 227-2527.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 21, 2003, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations part 71 (CFR part 71) to modify Class E airspace at
Sunriver, OR, (69 FR 19317). A new RNAV GPS SIAP at Sunriver Airport,
Sunriver, OR, makes it necessary to increase the Class E airspace. This
additional controlled airspace is necessary for the containment and
safety of IFR aircraft transitioning to/from the en route environment
and executing this SIAP procedure.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rule making
[[Page 68075]]
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published
in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9M dated August 30, 2004, and
effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this
document will be published subsequently in that Order.
The Rule: This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 revises Class E airspace
at Sunriver Airport, Sunriver, OR. A new RNAV GPS SIAP at Sunriver
Airport makes it necessary to increase the Class E airspace. This
additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface of the earth is for the containment and safety of IFR
aircraft transitioning to/from the en route environment and executing
this SIAP procedure.
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, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
