Establishment of Class D and Class E4

Airspace; New Bern, NC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

D and Class E4 airspace at New Bern,

NC. A Federal Contract Tower is

operational at Craven County Regional

Airport, NC, and the air traffic

controllers are certificated as weather

observers. Therefore, the airport meets

criteria for Class D surface area airspace

and Class E4 airspace designated as an

extension to Class D airspace to contain

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs) to the airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 25,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On August 29, 2000, the FAA

proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) by establishing Class D and

Class E4 airspace at New Bern, NC (65

FR 52375). Class D and Class E4

airspace designations are published in

Paragraphs 5000 and 6004 respectively

of FAA Order 7400.9H, dated September

1, 2000, and effective September 16,

2000, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class

D and 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) establishes Class D and Class E4

airspace at New Bern, NC, Craven

County 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.
