Establishment of Class E Airspace; Eagle, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule will establish Class E airspace at Eagle, CO. 
Additional Class E airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using 
a new Instrument Landing System or Localizer Distance Measuring 
Equipment (ILS or LOC DME) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure 
(SIAP) at Eagle County Regional Airport. This change is necessary for 
the safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft executing the new 
SIAP at Eagle County Regional Airport, Eagle, CO.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 25, 2005, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations part 71 (14 CFR part 71) by establishing Class E airspace 
at Eagle, CO (70 FR 32275). The proposed action would provide 
additional controlled airspace to accommodate the new ILS or LOC DME 
SIAP at Eagle County Regional Airport, Eagle, CO. Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rule making proceeding by 
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments 
were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 
6005 of the FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and effective 
September 5, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 
71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be 
published subsequently in that order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace at 
Eagle, CO, by providing additional controlled airspace for aircraft 
executing the new ILS or LOC DME SIAP at the Eagle County Regional 
Airport. This additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 
feet or more above the surface is necessary for the containment and 
safety of IFR aircraft executing this SIAP procedure and transitioning 
to/from the en route environment.
    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 the regulations current. 
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' 
under DOT Regulatory Polices 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
