Establishment of Class E Airspace; Lyndonville, VT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Lyndonville, VT.

This action is a result of a modification of the nondirectional beacon

(NDB) standard instrument approach procedure (SIAP) for Runway 2 at the

Caledonia County Airport which showed a need for controlled airspace

upward from 700 feet above the surface to contain instrument flight

rules (IFR) operations at the airport. The intended effect of this

action is to provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR operators who

will be executing the NDB SIAP at Caledonia County Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 13, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On March 11, 1994, the FAA published a Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(14 CFR Part 71) to establish Class E airspace at Lyndonville, VT (59

FR 11565). The proposal was prompted by a modification of the

nondirectional beacon (NDB) standard instrument approach procedure

(SIAP) for Runway 2 at the Caledonia Airport which showed a need for

controlled airspace upward from 700 feet above the surface to contain

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. The intended

effect of this action is to provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR

operators who will be executing the NDB SIAP at Caledonia County

Airport. Interested parties were invited to participate in this

rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal of

the FAA. No comments on the proposal were received.

Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more above ground level are published in Paragraph

6005 of the 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 establishment listed in this document will be

published in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment of part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

establishes the Class E Airspace at Claremont, NH. This action is a

result of a modification of the nondirectional beacon (NDB) standard

instrument approach procedure (SIAP) for Runway 2 at the Caledonia

County Airport which showed a need for controlled airspace upward from

700 feet above the surface to contain instrument flight rules (IFR)

operations at the airport. The intended effect of this action is to

provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR operators who will be

executing the NDB SIAP at Caledonia County Airport.

The FAA has determined that this regulation involves only an

established body of technical regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to keep these regulations

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 economic cost will be so

minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, the FAA certifies 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.
