Revision of Class E Airspace: DeRidder, LA

SUMMARY: This action revises the Class E airspace at Beauregard Parish

Airport, DeRidder, LA. The establishment of an airport surveillance

approach (ASR) standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) has made

this action necessary. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700

feet above ground level (AGL) is needed for aircraft executing the

approach. This action provides adequate Class E airspace to contain IFR

operations for aircraft executing the SIAP's at Beauregard Parish

Airport, DeRidder, LA.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., August 18, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On November 24, 1993, a proposal to amend Part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise the Class E Airspace at

Beauregard Parish Airport, DeRidder, LA, was published in the Federal

Register (58 FR 62059). An ASR approach, a SIAP, was developed for the

Beauregard Parish Airport, DeRidder, LA. The proposal was to revise the

controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL to contain

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in controlled airspace during

portions of the terminal operation and while transitioning between the

en route and terminal environments.

Interested persons were invited to participate in this rulemaking

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

No comments were received. Therefore the proposal is adopted with only

editorial changes.

The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North

American Datum 83. 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, 1994). 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 71) revises the Class E airspace located at DeRidder, LA, to

provide controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL for

aircraft executing the SIAP's at Beauregard Parish Airport, DeRidder

LA.

The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an

established body of technical regulations that need frequent and

routine amendments 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
