29942 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 105 /Tuesday, June 2, 1998 /Rules and Regulations

specifies the retroactive effect, if any; (5)

adequately defines key terms; and (6)

addresses other important issues

affecting clarity and general

draftsmanship under any guidelines

issued by the Attorney General. Section

3(c) of Executive Order 12988 requires

Executive agencies to review regulations

in right of applicable standards in

section 3(a) and section 3(b) to

determine whether they are met or it is

unreasonable to meet one or more of

them. DOE has completed the required

review and determined that, to the

extent permitted by law, the regulations

meet the relevant standards of Executive

Order 12988.

D. Review Under the National

Environmental Policy Act

Pursuant to the Council on

Environmental Quality Regulations (40

CFR 1500–1508), the Department has

established guidelines for its

compliance with the provisions of the

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.).

Pursuant to Appendix A of Subpart D of

10 CFR 1021, National Environmental

Policy Act Implementing Procedures

(Categorical Exclusion A6), DOE has

determined that this rule is categorically

excluded from the need to prepare an

environmental impact statement or

environmental assessment because it is

strictly procedural.

E. Review Under the Paperwork

Reduction Act

No new information collection or

record keeping requirements are

imposed by this rule. Accordingly, no

OMB clearance is required under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).

F. Review Under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act

The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5

U.S.C. 601, et seq., directs agencies to

prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis

whenever an agency is required to

publish a general notice of proposed

rulemaking for a rule. The Department

is not required to publish a general

notice of proposed rulemaking for this

technical amendment of 10 CFR Part

600, which is a matter relating to

financial assistance or grants, 5 U.S.C.

553(a)(2). Therefore, DOE has not

prepared a regulatory flexibility analysis

for this final rule.

G. Review Under Small Business

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of

1996

As required by 5 U.S.C. 801, DOE will

report to Congress promulgation of the

rule prior to its effective date. The

report will state that it has been

determined that the rule is not a ‘‘major

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(3).

H. Review Under the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4) generally

requires a Federal agency to perform a

detailed assessment of costs and

benefits of any rule imposing a Federal

mandate with costs to State, local or

tribal governments, or to the private

sector, of $100 million or more. The

Department has determined that this

rulemaking does not impose a Federal

mandate on State, local, or tribal

governments or on the private sector.

[Airspace Docket No. 97–ANM–17]

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Stevensville, MT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

E Airspace at Stevensville, MT. The

establishment of Class E airspace is

necessary for the development of a new

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) utilizing the Global

Positioning System (GPS) at the

Stevensville Airport, Stevensville, MT.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above ground level (AGL)

is needed to accommodate this SIAP

and for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

operations to the airport. The area

would be depicted on aeronautical

charts for pilot reference.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 13,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On February 25, 1998, the FAA

proposed to amend Title 14, Code of

Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR

part 71) by establishing the Stevensville,

MT, Class E airspace area (63 FR 9461).

The proposal provided the airspace

necessary to encompass a GPS SIAP for

the Stevensville Airport, Stevensville,

MT. Interested parties were invited to

participate in the rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal. No

comments were received.

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 7400.9E, 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

establishes Class E airspace at

Stevensville, MT. This rule provides the

airspace necessary to fully encompass

the transitions for the GPS–A SIAP to

the Stevensville, Airport, Stevensville,

MT. This is accomplished by

establishing a 700-foot Class E area

around the airport, with an extension to

the northwest and an extension to the

southeast. The establishment of this

airspace is necessary to meet criteria for

aircraft transitioning between the

terminal and en route environments.

The intended effect of this rule is

designed to provide safe and efficient

use of the navigable airspace and to
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 105 /Tuesday, June 2, 1998 /Rules and Regulations 29943

promote safe flight operations under IFR

at the Stevensville Airport and between

the terminal and en route transition

stages.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On March 17, 1998, the FAA

proposed to amend Title 14, Code of

Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR

part 71) by revising the Cedar City, UT,

Class E airspace area (63 FR 13015).

This revision provides the additional

airspace necessary to encompass new

and revised SIAP for the Cedar City

Regional Airport, Cedar City, UT. This

action also corrects the coordinates for

the Cedar City Regional Airport which

were updated since the proposal and are

corrected herein. Interested parties were

invited to participate in the rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal. No

comments were received.

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 7400.9E, 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 Cedar City,

UT, by providing the additional airspace

necessary to fully contain new and

revised flight procedures at Cedar City

Regional Airport. This modification of

airspace allows the missed approach,

the holding procedure, and the

transition procedure for the new or

revised SIAP to be fully encompassed

within controlled airspace. The

intended effect of this rule is designed

to provide safe and efficient use of the

navigable airspace and to promote safe

flight operations under Instrument

Flight Rules (IFR) at the Cedar City

Regional Airport and between the

terminal and en route transition stages.

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.
