14 CFR Part 71
[Docket FAA 2004-18915; Airspace Docket 04-ANM-11]
Revision of Class E Airspace; Burns, OR
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule will revise Class E airspace at Burns, OR.
This additional Class E airspace is necessary to accommodate the new
Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Burns Municipal Airport. This
change will improve the safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
aircraft executing the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Burns Municipal Airport,
Burns, OR. A minor correction also is being made in the geographic
position coordinates of the Burns Municipal Airport.
DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, July 07, 2005.

Administration, Western En Route and Oceanic Area Office, Airspace
Branch, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA, 98055-4056; telephone (425)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On December 17, 2004, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations part 71 (CFR part 71) by modifying Class E airspace
at Burns, OR, (69 FR 75490). The proposed action would provide
additional controlled airspace to accommodate the new RNAV GPS SIAP at
the Burns Municipal Airport. Interested parties were invited to
participate in 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 Burns,
OR, by providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing
the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Burns Municipal Airport. 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 IFR
aircraft executing this SIAP procedure and transitioning to/from the en
route environment.
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 the regulations 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
[[Page 20048]]
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.
