14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 96–ASO–41]

Amendment to Class E Airspace; Fort

Stewart, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the

Class E airspace area at Fort Stewart,

GA. A GPS RWY 32R Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

has been developed for Wright AAF.

Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface (AGL) is needed to

accommodate this SIAP.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 22,

1997.

Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal

Aviation Administration, P.O. Box

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On January 2, 1997, the FAA

proposed to amend Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

Part 71) by modifying Class E airspace

at Fort Stewart, GA (62 FR 70). This

action would provide adequate Class E

airspace for IFR operations at Wright

AAF.

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. Designations for Class E

airspace extending upward from 700

feet or more above the surface are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9D dated September 4, 1996,

and effective September 16, 1996. 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) modifies Class E airspace at

Fort Stewart, GA. A GPS RWY 32R SIAP

has been developed for Wright AAF.

Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface (AGL) is needed to

accommodate this SIAP.

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.

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes,

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) for operations at certain

airports. These regulatory actions are

needed because of the adoption of new

or revised criteria, or because of changes

occurring in the National Airspace

System, such as the commissioning of

new navigational facilities, addition of

new obstacles, or changes in air traffic

requirements. These changes are

designed to provide safe and efficient

use of the navigable airspace and to

promote safe flight operations under

instrument flight rules at the affected

airports.

DATES: An effective date for each SIAP

is specified in the amendatory

provisions.

Incorporation by reference-approved

by the Director of the Federal Register

on December 31, 1980, and reapproved

as of January 1, 1982.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revokes Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete

regulatory description of each SIAP is

contained in official FAA form

documents which are incorporated by

reference in this amendment under 5

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and § 97.20

of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(FAR). The applicable FAA Forms are

identified as FAA Form 8260–5.

Materials incorporated by reference are

available for examination or purchase as

stated above.

The large number of SIAPs, their

complex nature, and the need for a

special format make their verbatim

publication in the Federal Register

expensive and impractical. Further,

airmen do not use the regulatory text of

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic

depiction on charts printed by

publishers of aeronautical materials.

Thus, the advantages of incorporation

by reference are realized and

publication of the complete description

of each SIAP contained in FAA form

documents is unnecessary. The

provisions of this amendment state the

affected CFR (and FAR) sections, with

the types and effective dates of the

SIAPs. This amendment also identifies

the airport, its location, the procedure

identification and the amendment

number.

This amendment to part 97 is effective

upon publication of each separate SIAP

as contained in the transmittal. The

SIAPs contained in this amendment are

based on the criteria contained in the

United States Standard for Terminal

Instrument Approach Procedures

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPs, the

TERPS criteria were applied to the

conditions existing or anticipated at the

affected airports.

The FAA has determined through

testing that current non-localizer type,

non-precision instrument approaches

developed using the TERPS criteria can

be flown by aircraft equipped with

Global Positioning System (GPS)

equipment. In consideration of the

above, the applicable Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) will be altered to include ‘‘or

GPS’’ in the title without otherwise

reviewing or modifying the procedure.

(Once a stand alone GPS procedure is

developed, the procedure title will be

altered to remove ‘‘or GPS’’ from these

non-localizer, non-precision instrument

approach procedure titles.) Because of

the close and immediate relationship

between these SIAPs and safety in air

commerce, I find that notice and public

procedure before adopting these SIAPs

area, impracticable and contrary to the

public interest and, where applicable,

that good cause exists for making some

SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

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); of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.
