14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00–AGL–14]

Modification of Class E Airspace;

Harbor Springs, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E

airspace at Harbor Springs, MI. An Area

Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway

10, and an RNAV SIAP to Rwy 28, have

been developed for Harbor Springs

Airport. Controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 feet or more above the

surface of the earth is needed to contain

aircraft executing these approaches.

This action increases the radius of the

existing controlled airspace extending

upward from 1,200 feet for Harbor

Springs Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, November

30, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Tuesday, May 2, 2000, the FAA

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 to

modify Class E airspace at Harbor

Springs, MI (65 FR 25457). The proposal

was to modify controlled airspace

extending upward from the 700 feet

above 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.

The City of Harbor Springs, MI,

requested additional information on the

impact of the proposal on the local

community. Subsequent communication

between the city manager of Harbor

Springs, MI, and the Chicago Flight

Procedures Office, AVN–140B,

satisfactorily provided that information.

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 7400.9H dated

September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, 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 72

modifies Class E airspace at Harbor

Springs, MI, to accommodate aircraft

executing instrument flight procedures

into and out of Harbor Springs 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.
