SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

D airspace at Hilton Head Island, SC. A 

federal contract tower with a weather 

reporting system has been constructed 

at the Hilton Head Airport. Therefore, 

the airport meets criteria for Class D 

airspace. Class D surface area airspace is 

required when the control tower is open 

to contain Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and other 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. This action establishes 

Class D airspace extending upward from 

the surface to and including 2,000 feet 

MSL within a 3.9-mile radius of the 

airport.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

D and E4 airspace at Olive Branch, MS. 

A federal contract tower with a weather 

reporting system has been constructed 

at the Olive Branch Airport. Therefore, 

the airport meets criteria for Class D and 

E4 airspace. Class D surface area 

airspace and Class E4 airspace 

designated as an extension to Class D 

airspace is required when the control 

tower is open to contain Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and other Instrument Flight 

Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. 

This action establishes Class D airspace 

extending upward from the surface to 

but not including 2,900 feet MSL, 

within a 4-mile radius of the Olive 

Branch Airport and Class E4 airspace 

extensions that are 5 miles wide and 

extend 7 miles northeast and south of 

the airport. This action also amends the 

Class E5 airspace area for Memphis, TN, 

which includes the Olive Branch 

Airport, to contain the Nondirectional 

Radio Beacon (NDB) or Global 

Positioning System (GPS) Runway 

(RWY) 18 and RWY 36 SIAPs. 

Controlled airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet Above Ground Level 

(AGL) is needed to contain the 

procedure turn airspace area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 9, 2003, the FAA 

proposed to amend part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) by establishing Class D and E4 

airspace at Olive Branch, MS, and 

amending Class E5 airspace at 

Memphis, TN (68 FR 68573). This 

action provides adequate Class D and E4 

airspace for IFR operations at Olive 

Branch Airport and adequate Class E5 

airspace at Memphis, TN to contain 

SIAPs. Class D airspace designations for 

airspace areas extending upward from 

the surface of the earth, Class E4 

airspace areas designated as an 

extension to a Class D surface area, and 

Class E5 airspace designations for 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet or more above the surface of the 

earth are published in Paragraphs 5000, 

6004, and 6005 respectively, 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 D, E4, and E5 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

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. 

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) establishes Class D and E4 

airspace at Olive Branch, MS, and 

amends Class E5 at Memphis, TN. 

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 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) 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.

Docket No. 03–ANM–10] 

Modification of Class E Airspace; 

Polson, MT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule will modify the 

Class E airspace at Polson, MT. New 

Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) have been developed at Polson 

Airport making it necessary to increase 

the area of controlled airspace. This 

additional Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface of the earth is necessary for the 

safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 

aircraft executing these new SIAPs and 

when transitioning to/from the en route 

environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 15, 

2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History 

On November 26, 2003, the FAA 

proposed to amend Federal Aviation 

Regulations 14 CFR part 71 to modify 

Class E airspace at Polson, MT, (68 FR 

pages 66387–66388). This proposal was 

to modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 or more above the 

surface of the earth to contain IFR 

operations within controlled airspace 

during the terminal phase and when 

transitioning to/from the en route 

environments. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rule making 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. Class E 

airspace areas extending upward from 

700 feet or more above the surface of the 

earth are published in paragraph 6005 of 

FAA Order 7400.9L dated September 

02, 2003, and effective September 16, 

2003, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class 

E airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in that order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

will modify Class E airspace at Polson, 

MT, to accommodate aircraft executing 

newly developed RNAV GPS SIAPs. 

The new procedures make it necessary 

to increase the area of controlled 

airspace. Additional Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the earth is 

necessary to provide adequate 

controlled airspace for the safety of IFR 

aircraft executing these new RNAV GPS 

SIAPs and during transition to/from the 

en route environment. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation—(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.
