14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 97–AGL–30]

Modification of Class E Airspace;

Rochester, IN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E

airspace at Rochester, IN. A Global

Positioning System (GPS) Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to Runway 29 has been developed for

Fulton County Airport. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 700 to

1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is

needed to contain aircraft executing the

approach. This action will increase the

radius of the existing Class E airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 1,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Monday, August 25, 1997, the

FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) to modify the Class E airspace

at Rochester, IN (62 FR 44921). The

proposal was to add controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet

AGL 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

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9E, dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

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 Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) modifies Class E airspace at

Rochester, IN, to accommodate aircraft

executing the GPS Runway 29 SIAP at

Fulton County Airport by increasing the

radius of the existing Class E airspace

for the airport. Controlled airspace

extending upward form 700 to 1200 feet

AGL is needed to contain aircraft

executing the approach. 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.

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL to contain IFR operations in

controlled airspace during portions of

the terminal operation and while

transitioning between the enroute and
