14 CFR Part 71

[Docket FAA 2003-16567; Airspace Docket 03-ANM-14]

Revision of Class E Airspace; Sunriver, OR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule will revise Class E airspace at Sunriver, OR. 
A new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Position System (GPS) Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Sunriver airport, Sunriver, OR, 
makes it necessary to increase the Class E airspace. This additional 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the 
surface of the earth is necessary for the containment and safety of 
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft transitioning to/from the en 
route environment and executing this SIAP procedure.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 20, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed Haeseker, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Air Traffic Organization, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, 
WA, 98055-4056; telephone (425) 227-2527.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On October 21, 2003, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations part 71 (CFR part 71) to modify Class E airspace at 
Sunriver, OR, (69 FR 19317). A new RNAV GPS SIAP at Sunriver Airport, 
Sunriver, OR, makes it necessary to increase the Class E airspace. This 
additional controlled airspace is necessary for the containment and 
safety of IFR aircraft transitioning to/from the en route environment 
and executing this SIAP procedure.
    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 designations are published 
in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9M dated August 30, 2004, and 
effective September 16, 2004, 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 revises Class E airspace 
at Sunriver Airport, Sunriver, OR. A new RNAV GPS SIAP at Sunriver 
Airport makes it necessary to increase the Class E airspace. This 
additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more 
above the surface of the earth is for the containment and safety of IFR 
aircraft transitioning to/from the en route environment and executing 
this SIAP procedure.
    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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
