14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 95–ASW–33 ]

Revision of Class E Airspace;

Tucumcari, 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

Tucumcari, NM. The development of a

Global Positioning System (GPS)

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 03

at Tucumcari 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 03 at

Tucumcari Municipal Airport,

Tucumcari, NM.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 15,

1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On January 31, 1996, a proposal to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise

the Class E airspace at Tucumcari, NM,

was published in the Federal Register

(61 FR 3351). A GPS SIAP to RWY 03

developed for Tucumcari Municipal

Airport, Tucumcari, 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. No comments to

the proposal were received. Therefore,

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) revises the Class E airspace

located at Tucumcari, NM, to provide

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet AGL for aircraft executing

the GPS to RWY 03 at Tucumcari

Municipal Airport.

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 110334; 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 31, 1996, a proposal to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise

the Class E airspace at Portales, NM,

was published in the Federal Register

(61 FR 3348). A GPS SIAP to RWY 01

developed for Portales Municipal

Airport, Portales, NM, requires the

revision of the Class E airspace at this

airport. The proposal was to revise the

controlled airspace extending upward
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 19, 1996 / Rules and Regulations 31015

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 proposals were

received. However, the proposal was

published with an incorrect coordinate

for the location of the Cannon Air Force

Base. The correct coordinates for the

airport should have been (Lat.

34°22′58′′N, long. 103°19′20′′W). The

description of the Class E airspace in

this rule has been revised to reflect this

change. The FAA has determined that

this change is editorial in nature 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

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) revises the Class E airspace

located at Portales Municipal Airport,

Portales, NM, to provide controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet AGL for aircraft executing the GPS

SIAP to RWY 30.

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

will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small
