Amendment to Class D and Class E

Airspace; Fort Leonard Wood, MO;

Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of

effective date and correction.

SUMMARY: This notice confirms the

effective date of a direct final rule which

revises Class D and Class E airspace at

Fort Leonard Wood, MO, and corrects

the name of the airport from Fort

Leonard Wood, Forney Army Airfield to

Waynesville Regional Airport at Forney

Field. An editorial revision to the Class

E surface airspace area is included in

the document.

DATES: The direct final rule published at

63 FR 27474 is effective on 0901 UTC,

October 8, 1998.

This correction is effective on October

8, 1998.

telephone: (816) 426–3408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May

19, 1998, the FAA published in the

Federal Register a direct final rule;

request for comments which modified

the Class D and Class E airspace at Fort

Leonard Wood, MO (FR Document 98–

13272, 63 FR 27474, Airspace Docket

No. 98–ACE–17). After the document

was published in the Federal Register,

the name of the airport was changed

from Fort Leonard Wood, Forney Army

Airfield, MO, to Waynesville Regional

Airport at Forney Field, MO. In

addition, to more clearly define the

Class E surface airspace area, an

editorial revision is included. The FAA

has determined that these corrections

will not change the meaning of the

action nor add any additional burden on

the public beyond that already

published. This action corrects the

name of the airport and confirms the

effective date of the direct final rule.

The FAA uses the direct final

rulemaking procedure for a noncontroversial rule where the FAA

believes that there will be no adverse

public comment. This direct final rule

advised the public that no adverse

comments were anticipated, and that

unless a written adverse comment, or a

written notice of intent to submit such

an adverse comment, were received

within the comment period, the

regulation would become effective on

October 8, 1998. No adverse comments

were received, and thus this notice

confirms that this direct final rule will

become effective on that date.

in the Federal Register on May 19,

1998, 63 FR 27474, make the following

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Safford, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class

E airspace area at Safford, AZ.

Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth is needed

to contain aircraft executing the Global

Positioning System (GPS) Runway

(RWY) 12 and GPS RWY 30 Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

at Safford Municipal Airport. The

intended effect of this action is to

provide adequate controlled airspace for

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

Safford Municipal Airport, Safford, AZ.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC October 8,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On June 2, 1998, the FAA proposed to

amend 14 CFR part 71 by establishing

a Class E airspace area at Safford, AZ

(63 FR 29960). Additional controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet above the surface is needed to

contain aircraft executing the GPS RWY

12 and GPS RWY 30 SIAP at Safford

Municipal Airport. This action will

provide adequate controlled airspace for

IFR operations at Safford Municipal

Airport, Safford, AZ.

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. Class E airspace designations

for airspace extending 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 a Class E airspace area at

Safford, AZ. The development of a GPS

SIAP has made this action necessary.

The effect of this action will provide

adequate airspace for aircraft executing

the GPS RWY 12 and GPS RWY 30 SIAP

at Safford Municipal Airport, Safford,

AZ.

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.
