14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 98–AGL–1]

Modification of Class E Airspace;

Washington Court House, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E

airspace at Washington Court House,

OH. A Nondirectional Beacon-A (NDB–

A) Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) has been developed

for Fayette County Airport. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 700 to

1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is

needed to contain aircraft executing the

approach. This action increases the

radius and enlarges the northeast

extension of the existing controlled

airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, June 18,

1998.

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.
