[Airspace Docket No. 01–AWP–17]

Establishment of a Class E Enroute

Domestic Airspace Area, Kingman, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule, request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class

E enroute domestic airspace area

beginning at 1,200 feet above ground

level (AGL) in the vicinity of Kingman,

AZ, to replace existing Class G

uncontrolled airspace.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC

September 6, 2001.

Comment date: Comments for

inclusion in the Rules Docket must be

received on or before July 18, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

direct final rule in triplicate to: Federal

Aviation Administration, Attn:

Manager, Airspace Branch, AWP–520,

Docket No. 01–AWP–17, Air Traffic

Division, P.O. Box 92007, Worldway

Postal Center, Los Angeles, California

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

action will establish a Class E enroute

domestic airspace area with a base

altitude of 1,200 feet AGL west of

Kingman, AZ. A review of the airspace

associated with the development of Las

Vegas McCarran International Airport

arrival routes revealed large areas of

uncontrolled (Class G) airspace. Because

this airspace is Class G (uncontrolled)

below 14,500 feet mean seal level

(MSL), the Los Angeles Air Route

Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) cannot

use nor provide air traffic services

within this airspace for arrivals into Las

Vegas McCarran International Airport.

En route domestic airspace areas are

intended to create controlled airspace in

those areas where there is a requirement

to provide Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

en route air traffic control services but

the Federal airway segment is

inadequate. The intended effect of this

action is to establish adequate Class E

controlled airspace for IFR aircraft

arriving Las Vegas McCarran

International Airport. Class E enroute

domestic airspace areas are published in

Paragraph 6006 of FAA Order 7400.9H

dated September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document would be

published in this Order.

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

The FAA anticipates that this

regulation will not result in adverse or

negative comment and therefore is

issuing it as a direct final rule. Unless

a written adverse or negative comment,

or a written notice of intent to submit

an adverse or negative comment is

received within the comment period,

the regulation will become effective on

the date specified above. After the close

of the comment period, the FAA will

publish a document in the Federal

Register indicating that no adverse or

negative comments were received and

conforming the date on which the final

rule will become effective. If the FAA

does receive, within the comment

period, an adverse or negative comment,

or written notice of intent to submit

such a comment, a document

withdrawing the direct final rule will be

published in the Federal Register, and

a notice of proposed rulemaking may be

published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule and was not preceded by a

notice of proposed rulemaking,

comments are invited on this rule.

Interested persons are invited to

comment on this rule by submitting

such written data, views, or arguments

as they may desire. Communications

should identify the Rules Docket

number and be submitted in triplicate to

the address specified under the caption

ADDRESSES. All communications

received on or before the closing date

for comments will be considered, and

this rule may be amended or withdrawn

in light of the comments received.

Factual information that supports the

commenter’s ideas and suggestions is

extremely helpful in evaluating the

effectiveness of this action and

determining whether additional

rulemaking action would be needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the rule that might suggest a need to

modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this

action will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this rule must

submit a self-addressed, stamped

postcard on which the following

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to

Docket No. 01–AWP–17.’’ The postcard

will be date stamped and returned to the

commenter.

Agency Findings

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects on the

States, on the relationship between the

national government and the States, or

on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612,

it is determined that this final rule does

not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation is noncontroversial and

unlikely to result in adverse or negative

comments. For the reasons discussed in

the preamble, this regulation only

32732 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2001 / Rules and Regulations

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

action will establish a Class E enroute

domestic airspace area with a base

altitude of 1,200 feet AGL southeast of

Las Vegas, NV. A review of the airspace

associated with the development of Las

Vegas McCarran International Airport

arrival routes revealed large areas of

uncontrolled (Glass G) airspace. Because

this airspace is Class G (uncontrolled)

below 14,500 feet mean sea level (MSL),

the Los Angeles Air Route Traffic

Control Center (ARTCC) cannot use nor

provide air traffic services within this

airspace for arrivals into Las Vegas

McCarran International Airport. En

route domestic airspace areas are

intended to create controlled airspace in

those areas where there is a requirement

to provide Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

en route air traffic control services but

the Federal airway segment is

inadequate. The intended effect of this

action is to establish adequate Class E

controlled airspace for IFR aircraft

arriving Las Vegas McCarran

International Airport.

Class E enroute domestic airspace

areas are published in Paragraph 6006 of

FAA Order 7400.9H dated September 1,

2000, and effective September 16, 2000,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document

would be published subsequently in

this Order.

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

The FAA anticipates that this

regulation will not result in adverse or

negative comment and therefore is

issuing it as a direct final rule. Unless

a written adverse or negative comment,

or a written notice of intent to submit

an adverse or negative comment is

received within the comment period,

the regulation will become effective on

the date specified above. After the close

of the comment period, the FAA will

publish a document in the Federal

Register indicating that no adverse or

negative comments were received and

confirming the date on which the final

rule will become effective. If the FAA

does receive, within the comment

period, an adverse or negative comment,

or written notice of intent to submit

such a comment, a document

withdrawing the direct final rule will be

published in the Federal Register, and

a notice of proposed rulemaking may be

published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule and was not preceded by a

notice of proposed rulemaking,

comments are invited on this rule.

Interested persons are invited to

comment on this rule by submitting

such written data, views, or arguments

as they may desire. Communications

received on or before the closing date

for comments will be considered, and

this rule may be amended or withdrawn

in light of the comments received.
