AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of

effective date.

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Class E

airspace area at Hays Municipal Airport,

Hays, KS. A review of Class E airspace

revealed a need to increase the airspace

area to contain Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR) operations at Hays Municipal

Airport. The effect of this rule is to

provide additional controlled airspace

for aircraft executing the Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP)

and for departing aircraft to transition

into controlled airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC March 27,

Amendment to Class E Airspace;

Tampa, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the

Class E airspace area at Tampa, FL. A

GPS RWY 16 Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been

developed for Clearwater Air Park,

Clearwater, FL. Additional controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet above the surface (AGL) is needed

to accommodate this SIAP and for IFR

operations at the airport. The operating

status of the airport will change from

VFR to include IFR operations

concurrent with publication of the

SIAP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On November 27, 1996, the FAA

proposed to amend Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

Part 71) by modifying Class E airspace

at Tampa, FL (61 FR 60239). This action

would provide adequate Class E

airspace for IFR operations at Clearwater

Air Park, Clearwater, FL.

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. Designations for Class E

airspace extending upward from 700

feet or more above the surface are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996,

and effective September 16, 1996. The

Class E 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) modifies Class E airspace at

Tampa, FL. A GPS RWY 16 SIAP has

been developed for Clearwater Air Park,

Clearwater, FL. Additional controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet above the surface (AGL) is needed

to accommodate this SIAP and for IFR

operations at the airport. The operating

status of the airport will change from

VFR to include IFR operations

concurrent with publication of the

SIAP.

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. 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)

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 November 29, 1996, the FAA

proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) to amend Class E airspace at

Cortez, Colorado, to accommodate a

new GPS SIAP to the Cortez-Montezuma

County Airport (61 FR 60659).

Interested parties were invited to

participate in the rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal. No

comments were received.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. 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 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996,

and effective September 16, 1996, which

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace listed in this

document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of Federal

Aviation Regulations amends Class E

airspace at Cortez, Colorado. 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. 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) 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.
