14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 95–ASW–25]

Revision of Class E Airspace; Belen,

NM

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action revises the Class

E airspace extending upward from 700

feet above ground level (AGL) at Belen,

NM. The development of a Global

Positioning System (GPS) Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to Runway (RWY) 21 at Alexander

Municipal Airport has made this action

necessary. This action is intended to

provide adequate Class E airspace to

contain instrument flight rule (IFR)

operations for aircraft executing the GPS

SIAP to RWY 21 at Alexander

Municipal Airport, Belen, NM.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 U.T.C., August 15,

1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On January 24, 1996, a proposal to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise

the Class E airspace at Belen, NM, was

published in the Federal Register (61

FR 1870). A GPS SIAP to RWY 21

developed for Alexander Municipal

Airport, Belen, NM, requires the

revision of the Class E airspace at this

airport. The proposal was to revise the

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet AGL to contain IFR

operations in controlled airspace during

portions of the terminal operation and

while transitioning between the enroute

and terminal environments.

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. The rule is adopted as

proposed.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. Class E airspace designations

for airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more AGL are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995,

and effective September 16, 1995, 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 (14 CFR

part 71) amends the Class E airspace

located at Alexander Municipal Airport,

Belen, NM, to provide controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL for aircraft executing the GPS

SIAP to RWY 21.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations that need

frequent and routine amendments to

keep them operationally current. It,

therefore—(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:

History

On January 24, 1996, a proposal to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise

the Class E airspace at Carlsbad, NM,

was published in the Federal Register

(61 FR 1869). A GPS SIAP to RWY 21

developed for Cavern City Air Terminal,

Carlsbad, NM, requires the revision of

Class E airspace at this airport. The

proposal was to establish controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL to contain IFR operations in

controlled airspace during portions of

the terminal operation and while

transitioning between the enroute and

terminal environments.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.
28042 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 108 / Tuesday, June 4, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

No comments to the proposal were

received. However, the proposal was

published without coordinates for the

location of the Cavern City Air Terminal

Localizer. The coordinates for the

localizer (Lat. 32°20′22′′N, long.

104°15′19′′W) should have been

included in the Class E description. The

final description of the Class E airspace

in this rule has been revised to reflect

this change. The FAA has determined

that this is an editorial change and will

not increase the scope of this rule.

Except for the non-substantive change

just discussed, the rule is adopted as

proposed.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. Class E airspace designations

for airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more AGL are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

and effective September 16, 1995, 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 (14 CFR

part 71) revises the Class E airspace

located at Carlsbad, NM, to provide

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet AGL for aircraft executing

the GSP SIAP to RWY 21 at Cavern City

Air Terminal.

The FAA has determined that this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On November 22, 1995, a proposal to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise

the Class E airspace at Hobbs, NM, was

published in the Federal Register (60

FR 57842). A GPS SIAP to RWY 30

developed for Lea County Airport,

Hobbs, NM, requires the revision of the

Class E airspace at this airport. The

proposal was to revise the controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL to contain IFR operations in

controlled airspace during portions of

the terminal operation and while

transitioning between the enroute and

terminal environments.

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. However, the proposal was

published with an incorrect coordinate

for the location of the Lea County

Airport. The correct coordinates for the

airport should have been (Lat. 32°41′15′′

N, long, 103°13′01′′ W). The description

of the Class E airspace in this rule has

been revised to reflect this change. The

FAA has determined that this is an

editorial change and will not increase

the scope of this rule. Except for nonsubstantive, editorial changes, the rule

is adopted as proposed.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. Class E airspace designations

for airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more AGL are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995,

and effective September 16, 1995, 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 (14 CFR

part 71) amends the Class E airspace

located at Lea County Airport, Hobbs,

NM, to provide controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet AGL for

aircraft executing the GPS SIAP to RWY

30.
