14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94–AEA–04]

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Islip, NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes

additional controlled airspace extending

upward from the surface at the Long

Island MacArthur Airport, Islip, NY,

during the hours that the Air Traffic

Control Tower (ATCT) is not in

operation in order to accommodate

aircraft operating under instrument

flight rules. Additionally, a minor

technical correction is being made to the

legal description from that proposed in

the original notice, to reflect the

operational hours associated with this

airspace area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 U.T.C. March 30,

1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On August 22, 1994, the FAA

proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) to establish Class E Airspace at

Islip, New York, when the associated

ATCT is not in operation (59 FR 46364).

The proposal would establish

additional-controlled airspace extending

upward from the surface of the earth to

accommodate aircraft operations

conducted under instrument flight

rules.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments were received on the

proposal.

Airspace Reclassification, in effect as

of September 16, 1993, has discontinued

the use of the term ‘‘Control Zone,’’ and

airspace designated as a surface area for

an airport is now Class E airspace.

Except for editorial changes, this

amendment is the same as that proposed

in the notice. The coordinates for this

airspace docket are based on North

American Datum 83. Class E airspace

designations for areas designated as a

surface area for an airport are published

in Paragraph 6002 of FAA Order

7400.9B, Airspace Designations and

Reporting Points, dated July 18, 1994,

and effective September 16, 1994, 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 Part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations establishes

Class E Airspace at Islip, New York,

when the associated ATCT is not in

operation to accommodate aircraft

operations conducted under instrument

flight rules.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

Airspace, Incorporation by reference,

Navigation (air).

Adoption of the Amendment

Federal Aviation Administration

amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

BILLING CODE 4910–13–M

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 28009; Amdt. No. 1641]

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes,

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) for operations at certain

airports. These regulatory actions are

needed because of changes occurring in

the National Airspace System, such as

the commissioning of new navigational

facilities, addition of new obstacles, or

changes in air traffic requirements.

These changes are designed to provide

safe and efficient use of the navigable

airspace and to promote safe flight

operations under instrument flight rules

at the affected airports.

DATES: An effective date for each SIAP

is specified in the amendatory

provisions.

Incorporation by reference-approved

by the Director of the Federal Register

on December 31, 1980, and reapproved

as of January 1, 1982.
