Modification of Class E Airspace; Half Moon Bay, CA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace area at Half Moon
Bay, CA. The establishment of an Area Navigation (RNAV) Global
Positioning System (GPS) Z Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) to
Runway (RWY) 30 to Half Moon Bay Airport, Half Moon Bay, CA has made
this action necessary. Additional controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth is needed to
contain aircraft executing this RNAV (GPS) ZIAP to RWY 30 at Half Moon
Bay Airport. The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate
controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at Half Moon
Bay Airport, Half Moon Bay, CA
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC September 28, 2006. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 14, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by
modifying the Class E airspace area at Half Moon Bay, CA (06 FR 34296).
Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the RNAV
(GPS) Z IAP RWY 30 to Half Moon Bay Airport. This action will provide
adequate controlled airspace for aircraft executing the RNAV (GPS) Z
IAP RWY 30 to Half Moon Bay Airport, Half Moon Bay, 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
7400.9N, dated September 1, 2005, and effective September 15, 2005,
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 modifies the Class E airspace area
at Half Moon Bay, CA. The establishment of a RNAV (GPS) Z IAP RWY 30 to
Half Moon Bay Airport has made this action necessary. The effect of
this action will provide adequate airspace for aircraft executing the
RNAV (GPS) Z IAP RWY 30 to Half Moon Bay Airport, Half Moon Bay, 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.
