14 CFR Part 71

[Docket FAA 2004–16896; Airspace Docket 

02–ANM–08] 

Proposed Revision of Class E 

Airspace; Blanding, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This proposal would revise 

the Class E airspace at Blanding, UT. 

New Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) have been developed at 

Blanding Airport making it necessary to 

increase the area of controlled airspace. 

This additional Class E airspace 

extending upward from 1,200 feet above 

the surface of the earth is necessary for 

the safety of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) aircraft executing these new SIAPs 

and transitioning between the terminal 

and en route environment.

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 4, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the Docket Management 

System, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Room Plaza 401, 400

System, which describes the application 

procedures. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 

(14 CFR part 71) by revising Class E 

airspace at Blanding, UT. New RNAV 

GPS SIAPs have been developed at 

Blanding Airport making it necessary to 

increase the area of controlled airspace. 

This additional Class E airspace 

extending upward from 1,200 feet above 

the surface of the earth is necessary for 

the safety of IFR aircraft executing these 

new SIAPs and transitioning to/from the 

en route environment. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9L, dated September 2, 

2003, and effective September 16, 2003, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11013; 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, 

when promulgated, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

Proposed Revision of VOR Federal 

Airway V–537

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking, 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify Very High Frequency 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal 

airway V–537 by changing the 

origination point of the airway from the 

Vero Beach, FL, Very High Frequency 

Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) to the Palm 

Beach, FL, VORTAC. The proposed 

modification would extend V–537 by 

incorporating a route segment that air 

traffic control (ATC) frequently assigns 

to aircraft arriving the Palm Beach, FL, 

terminal area. The proposed change 

would enhance the management of 

aircraft in the Palm Beach, FL, area.

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 19, 2004.

proposal to the Docket Management 

System, U.S. Department of

Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRM’s should 

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 (part 71) to modify 

Federal airway V–537, by changing the 

origination point of the airway from the 

Vero Beach VORTAC to the Palm Beach 

VORTAC. The revision would 

incorporate the airway routing that is 

currently used by ATC when directing 

aircraft to Palm Beach, FL. Currently, 

Miami Air Route Traffic Control Center 

issues a clearance to aircraft destined for 

the Palm Beach terminal area by 

directing aircraft to proceed via the Vero 

Beach VORTAC, then along V–295 to 

STOOP intersection, then via V–492 to 

the Palm Beach VORTAC. The proposed 

modification would incorporate this 

routing as an extension to V–537. 

Extending V–537 as described above 

would significantly reduce pilotcontroller communications, alleviate 

radio frequency congestion, reduce the 

potential for pilot readback errors, and 

enhance the management of aircraft 

operations in the Vero Beach-Palm 

Beach area. 

Domestic VOR Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA 

Order 7400.9L, dated September 2, 

2003, and effective September 16, 2003, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airway 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) 

Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Regulatory 

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; 

February 26, 1979); and (3) does not 

warrant preparation of a regulatory
