14 CFR Part 71
[Docket FAA 2003-16460; Airspace Docket 02-ANM-16]
Amendment to Class E Airspace; Wray, CO
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule will revise Class E airspace at Wray, CO. New
Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) have been developed at Wray
Municipal Airport. Additional Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface is necessary for the safety of instrument
flight rules (IFR) aircraft executing these new SIAPs and transitioning
between the terminal and en route environment.
DATES: 0901 UTC May 12, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed Haeseker, Federal Aviation
Administration, Air Traffic Organization, Western En Route and Oceanic
Area Office, Airspace Branch, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, WA 98055-
4056; telephone (425) 227-2527.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 21, 2003, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rule making to modify Class E airspace at Wray, CO
(69 FR 32295). New RNAV GPS SIAPs at Wray Municipal Airport, Wray, CO,
make it necessary to increase the controlled airspace.
Interested parties were invited to participate on this rule making
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 Wray
Municipal Airport, Wray, CO. New RNAV GPS SIAPs at Wray Municipal
Airport make 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
these RNAV GPS SIAP procedures.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involved 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 ``signficant 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.
