[Airspace Docket No. 94-ACE-16]

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Monticello, MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from

700 feet above the surface within a 6.3 mile radius of the Lewis County

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

instrument approach (SIAP) at the Lewis County Regional Airport,

Monticello, Missouri, utilizing the Quincy, Illinois, Very High

Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VORTAC)

has made this action necessary. The intended effect of this proposal is

to provide adequate Class E airspace for instrument flight rules (IFR)

operators executing the recently established SIAP.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 2, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On August 22, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

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

airspace at the Lewis County Regional Airport, Monticello, Missouri.

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 establishment

is the same as that proposed in the notice. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the ground level are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order

7400.9B, dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which

is inconcorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The class 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) amends the Class E airspace airspace area Monticello, MO,

by providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the

VOR/DME-A SIAP to the Lewis County Regional Airport.

The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves

an established body of technical regulations for which frequently and

routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.

Therefore, this regulation--(1) is not a ``significant regulation

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 ill not have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.
