14 CFR Part 71
[Docket No. FAA-2005-20381; Airspace Docket No. 05-ANM-3]
Revision of Class E Airspace; Gillette, WY
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action will revise the Class E airspace at Gillette, WY.
Additional Class E airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using
a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Gillette-Campbell County
Airport. This will improve the safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
aircraft executing the new RNAV GPS SIAP at Gillette-Campbell County
Airport, Gillette, WY.
DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, May 10, 2007. 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 August 11, 2006, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to revise Class E airspace at Gillette,
WY, (71 FR 46133). This action would improve the safety of Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft executing this new RNAV GPS approach
procedure at Gillette-Campbell County Airport, Gillette WY. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort 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 7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15,
2006, 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 action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by revising Class E airspace at Gillette, WY. Additional
controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft executing
a new RNAV (GPS) approach procedure at Gillette-Campbell Airport,
Gillette WY.
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.
