[Airspace Docket No. 96–ASW–05]

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Sonora, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes the

Class E airspace extending upward from

700 feet above ground level (AGL) at

Canyon Ranch Airport, Sonora, TX. The

development of a Very High Frequency

Omnidirectional Range (VOR)/Distance

Measuring Equipment (DME) Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to Runway (RWY) 32 at Canyon Ranch

Airport has made this action necessary.

This action is intended to provide

adequate Class E airspace to contain

instrument flight rule (IFR) operations

for aircraft executing the VOR/DME

SIAP to RWY 32 at Canyon Ranch

Airport, Sonora, TX.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 22,

1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On June 19, 1996, a proposal to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish

Class E airspace at Canyon Ranch

Airport, Sonora, TX, was published in

the Federal Register (61 FR 31066). A

VOR/DME SIAP to RWY 32 developed

for Canyon Ranch Airport, Sonora, TX,

requires the establishment of Class E

airspace at this airport. The proposal

was to establish the controlled 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 terminal

environments.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments to the proposal were

received. However, the proposal was

published with an incorrect coordinate

for the location of the Canyon Ranch

Airport, Sonora, TX. The correct

coordinates for the airport should have

been (Lat. 30°16′09′′ N, long. 100°27′03′′

W). The description of the Class E

airspace in this rule has been revised to

reflect this change. The FAA has

determined that this change will not

increase the scope of this rule.

Therefore, except for the nonsubstantive, editorial changes to correct

the airport coordinates, the rule is

adopted as proposed.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. Class E airspace designations

for airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more AGL 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 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) establishes the Class E airspace

located at Canyon Ranch Airport,

Sonora, TX, to provide controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL for aircraft executing the VOR/

DME SIAP to RWY 32.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations that need

frequent and routine amendments 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.
