14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 92-ASW-30]

Revision of Class E Airspace: Russellville, AR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action revises the Class E airspace at Russellville, AR.

A nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) standard instrument approach

procedure (SIAP) has been developed at Russellville Municipal Airport

and has made this action necessary. Controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 feet above ground level (AGL) is needed to contain

aircraft executing the approach. This action is intended to provide

adequate Class E airspace to contain instrument flight rule (IFR)

operations for aircraft executing the SIAP's at Russellville Municipal

Airport, Russelville, AR.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 18, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On November 30, 1993, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise the class E airspace at

Russellville, AR, was published in the Federal Register (58 FR 63130).

A SIAP, NDB-A, approach was developed for the Russellville Municipal

Airport, Russellville, AR. The proposal was to revise the controlled

airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL to contain IFR operations

in controlled airspace during portions of the terminal operation and

while transitioning between the enroute and terminal environments.

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. The latitude and longitude

for the Russellville Municipal Airport, and the Russellville NDB, have

been changed to reflect an increase of one second in each of the

latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates. Except for the non-

substantive changes just discussed, the rule is adopted as proposed.

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 AGL 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 Russellville, AR, to

provide controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL for

aircraft executing the SIAP at Russellville Municipal Airport.

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.
