Revision of Class E Airspace; Alice, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action revises the Class

E airspace at Alice, TX. The

development of a Global Positioning

System (GPS) Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) to runway

(RWY) 16 and 34 at Old Hoppe Place

Airport, Agua Dulce, TX, has made this

rule necessary. This action is intended

to provide adequate controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface for Instrument Flight

Rules (IFR) operations at Old Hoppe

Place Airport, Agua Dulce, TX.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 13,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On January 20, 1998, a proposal to

amend 14 CFR Part 71 to revise Class E

airspace at Alice, TX, was published in

the Federal Register (63 FR 2913). The

proposal was to revise the Class E

airspace at Alice, TX. The development

of a GPS SIAP to RWY 16 and 34 at Old

Hoppe Place Airport, Agua Dulce, TX,

has made this rule necessary. The

intended effect is to provide adequate

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

for IFR operations at Old Hoppe Place

Airport, Agua Dulce, TX.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments to the proposal were

received. The rule is adopted as

proposed. The coordinates for this

airspace docket are based on North

American Datum 83. Designated Class E

airspace areas are published in

Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E,

dated September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, 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 Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR Part 71

revises the Class E airspace located at

Alice, TX, to provide Class E airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface within a 6.3-mile radius of

the Old Hoppe Place Airport at Agua

Dulce, TX, excluding that airspace

within the Corpus Christi, TX, Class E

airspace area.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations that need

frequent and routine amendments 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Friday, February 13, 1998, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to modify Class E airspace at

Washington Court House, OH (63 FR

7330). The proposal was to add

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet AGL 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.

No comments objecting to the proposal

was received. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface are published in

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E

dated September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

modifies Class E airspace at Washington

Court House, OH, to accommodate

aircraft executing the NDB–A SIAP and

IFR operations at Fayette County

Airport by increasing the radius and

enlarging the northeast extension to the

existing controlled airspace. 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.
