Modification of Class E Airspace;

Yankton, SD

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E

airspace at Yankton, SD. This action

amends the effective hours of the Class

E surface area from one (1) hour per day

to twenty-four (24) hours per day to

accommodate regular air carrier

operations that occur outside the

current times of operation of the surface

area. The purpose of this action is to

afford an increased level of safety

during instrument flight operations for

the commercial air carrier operations at

the Chan Gurney Municipal Airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Tuesday, January 19, 1999, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to modify Class E airspace at Yankton,

SD (64 FR 2864). The proposal was to

increase the effective hours of operation

from one (1) hour per day to twenty-four

(24) hours per day to accommodate air

carrier operations for Chan Gurney

Municipal Airport. 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. Class E airspace

areas designated as a surface area for an

airport published in paragraph 6002 of

FAA Order 7400.9G dated September 1,

1999, and effective September 16, 1999,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designations listed in this document

will be published subsequently in the

Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

modified Class E airspace at Yankton,

SD, by amending the hours of operation

of the Class E airspace for Chan Gurney

Municipal Airport. The area will be

depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Friday, February 18, 2000, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to modify Class E airspace at Ely, MN

(65 FR 8324). The proposal was to

modify controlled airspace extending

upward from the surface to contain

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

in controlled airspace during portions of

the terminal operation and while

transiting between the enroute and

terminal environments. 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.

Class E airspace designated as surface

areas are published in paragraph 6002,

and 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 7400.9G

dated September 1, 1999, and effective

September 16, 1999, which is

incorporated by references in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designations

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

modifies Class E airspace at Ely, MN, to

accommodate aircraft executing

instrument flight procedures into and

out Ely Municipal Airport. The area will

be depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts.

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
