standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) at the Lawrence Smith

Memorial Airport, Harrisonville, Missouri, utilizing the Butler,

Missouri, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Radio Range/Tactical Air

Navigational Aid (VORTAC) has made this action necessary. Controlled

airspace extending from 700 to 1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is

needed for aircraft executing the approach. The area will be depicted

on aeronautical charts to provide a reference for pilots operating in

the area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On January 7, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E

airspace at the Lawrence Smith Memorial Airport, Missouri (59 FR 4610).

Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal were received. This rule is the

same as that proposed in the notice. Class E airspace designations for

airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above ground

level are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A, dated June

17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The class E

airspace designation listed in this document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14

CFR part 71) establishes Class E airspace at Lawrence Smith Memorial

Airport, Harrisonville, Missouri, extending upward from 700 feet above

ground level (AGL) to 1200 AGL. The development of a new SIAP based on

the Butler, Missouri, VORTAC made this action necessary. The intended

effect of this proposal is to provide adequate Class E airspace for

aircraft executing the VOR SIAP at Lawrence Smith Memorial Airport,

Harrisonville, Missouri.

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.

It, therefore--(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.
