Regional Airport

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at the Sullivan

Regional Airport, Sullivan, Missouri. The development of a standard

instrument approach procedure (SIAP) at the Sullivan Regional Airport,

Sullivan, Missouri, utilizing a new nondirectional beacon (NDB) 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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., June 23, 1994.

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 Sullivan Regional Airport, Sullivan, Missouri (59 FR

4611).

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 amendment is

the same as the 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 Sullivan, Missouri,

extending from 700 feet AGL to 1200 feet AGL. The development of a SIAP

based on a new NDB located on the Sullivan Regional Airport, Sullivan,

Missouri, made this proposal necessary. The intended effect of this

rule is to provide adequate Class E airspace for aircraft executing the

NDB SIAP at Sullivan Regional Airport.

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 rule'' under Executive Order

12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulation 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.
