[Airspace Docket No. 00-ANM-17]


Proposed Revision of Class E Airspace, Roosevelt, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to revise Class E airspace at Roosevelt, 
UT. The development of a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument 
Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 25 at Roosevelt Airport has 
made this proposal necessary. Class E 700 foot, and 1,200 foot 
controlled airspace, above the surface of the earth is required to 
contain aircraft executing the RNAV RWY 25 SIAP to Roosevelt Airport. 
The intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate controlled 
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Roosevelt 
Airport, Roosevelt, UT.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 30, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Manager, 
Airspace Branch, ANM-520, Federal Aviation Administration, Docket No. 
00-ANM-17, 1601 Lind Avenue SW, Renton, Washington 98055-4056.
    The official docket may be examined in the Office of the Regional 
Counsel for the Northwest Mountain Region at the same address.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising Class E airspace at 
Roosevelt, UT. Newly developed RNAV SIAP to RWY 25 at Roosevelt Airport 
has made this proposal necessary. Controlled airspace from 700 feet, 
and 1,200 feet, above the surface is required to contain aircraft 
executing the RNAV RWY 25 SIAP. The FAA establishes Class E airspace 
where necessary to contain aircraft transitioning between the terminal 
and en route environments. The intended effect of this proposal is 
designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable 
airspace. This proposal would promote safe flight operations under IFR 
at the Roosevelt Airport and between the terminal and en route 
transition stages.
    The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 
reference. 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 7400.9H dated September 1, 2000, and effective 
September 16, 2000, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The Class E airspace designation listed in this document would be 
published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 11013; 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
