14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 00-ASO-28]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Picayune, MS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Picayune, MS. 
Picayune--Pearl River County Airport has closed and a new airport has 
been established approximately 3.5 miles southeast of the Picayune--
Pearl River County Airport site. The name of the new airport is 
Picayune Municipal Airport. Area Navigation (RNAV) Runway (RWY) 18 and 
RWY 36 Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) have been 
developed for Picayune Municipal Airport. As a result, controlled 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is 
needed to accommodate the SIAPs at Picayune Municipal Airport. This 
action also changes the name of the airport in the airspace description 
from Picayune--Pearl River County to Picayune Municipal Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 25, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy B. Shelton, Manager, Airspace 
Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 18, 2000, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class E 
airspace at Picayune, MS, (65 FR 50470) to contain the RNAV RWY 18 and 
39 SIAPs developed for the Picayune Municipal Airport. Class E airspace 
designations 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 15 CFR 71.1, dated September 1, 1999. The 
Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.
    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.

The Rule

    This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends Class E airspace at Picayune, MS. This action also 
changes the name of the airport in the airspace description from 
Picayune--Pearl River County to Picayune Municipal Airport.
    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.
