Establishment of Class E Airspace; Hana, HI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class E airspace area at Hana, HI. 
The establishment of an Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 
System (GPS) Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) RNAV (GPS) to Runway 
(RWY) 26 IAP and a RNAV Departure Procedure (DP) at Hana Airport, Hana, 
HI has made this action necessary. Additional controlled airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth 
is needed to contain aircraft executing this RNAV (GPS) IAP and RNAV 
DP. The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate 
controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at Hana 
Airport, Hana, HI.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC October 27, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 3, 2005, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR parts 71 by 
modifying the Class E airspace area at Hana Airport, HI (05 FR 15314). 
Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more 
above the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing the RNAV 
(GPS) (RWY) 26 IAP and RNAV DP at Hana Airport, Hana, HI. This action 
will provide adequate controlled airspace for aircraft executing the 
RNAV (GPS) (RWY) 26 IAP and RNAV DP at Hana Airport, Hana, HI.
    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 
7400.9N, dated August September 1, 2005, and effective September 16, 
2005, 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 the Class E airspace area 
at Hana Airport, HI. The establishment of a RNAV (GPS) (RWY) 26 IAP and 
RNAV DP at Hana Airport has made this action necessary. The effect of 
this action will provide adequate airspace for aircraft executing the 
RNAV (GPS) (RWY) 26 IAP and RNAV DP at Hana Airport, Hana, HI.
    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.
