14 CFR Part 71
[Docket FAA 2004-16896; Airspace Docket 02-ANM-08]
Revision of Class E Airspace; Blanding, UT
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule will revise Class E airspace at Blanding, UT.
This additional Class E airspace is necessary to accommodate the new
Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Blanding Airport. This change
will improve the safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft
executing the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Blanding Airport, Blanding, UT.
DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, July 07, 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, Washington

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On February 03, 2004, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations part 71 (CFR part 71) by modifying Class E airspace
at Blanding, UT, (69 FR 5097). The proposed action would provide
additional controlled airspace to
[[Page 20047]]
accommodate the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Blanding Airport, Blanding, UT.
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
Blanding, UT by providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft
executing the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Blanding Airport. This additional
controlled airspace extending upward from 1200 feet above the surface
of the earth is necessary for the containment and safety of IFR
aircraft executing these SIAP procedures 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 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.
