Amendment to Class E Airspace;

Topeka, KS; Kingman, KS; Hutchinson,

KS; and Wahoo, NE

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration [FAA], DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the

Class E airspace area at Philip Billard

Municipal Airport, Topeka, KS;

Kingman Municipal Airport, Kingman,

KS; Hutchinson Municipal Airport,

Hutchinson, KS; and Wahoo Municipal

Airport, Wahoo, NE. The development

of new Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAP) based on the Global

Positioning System (GPS) has made the

proposal necessary. The intended effect

of this proposal is to provide additional

controlled airspace for aircraft executing

the SIAPs at the above listed airports.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC August 15,

1996.

Branch, ACE–530C, Federal Aviation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On April 9, 1996, the FAA proposed

to amend Part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by

modifying the Class E airspace area at

Topeka, KS; Kingman, KS; Hutchinson,

KS; and Wahoo, NE (61 FR 15740). The

proposed action would provide

additional controlled airspace to

accommodate the new SIAP to Philip

Billard Municipal Airport, Topeka, KS;

Kingman Municipal Airport, Kingman,

KS; Hutchinson Municipal Airport,

Hutchinson, KS; and Wahoo Municipal

Airport, Wahoo, NE.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

were received. Class E airspace areas

extending from 700 feet or more above

the surface of the earth are published in

paragraphs 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

areas at the airports listed in the

SUMMARY, by providing additional

controlled airspace for aircraft executing

the new SIAPs. A minor correction is

being made to the geographical

coordinates for Topeka, Philip Billard

Municipal Airport, KS.

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.

[Airspace Docket No. 95–ASO–18]

Subdivision of Restricted Area R–2103,

Fort Rucker, AL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action subdivides

Restricted Area 2103 (R–2103), Fort

Rucker, AL, into two separate areas, to

permit more efficient use of the

airspace. R–2103A is designated from

the surface to but not including 10,000

feet mean sea level (MSL), and R–2103B

is designated from 10,000 feet MSL to

15,000 feet MSL. This subdivision of the

restricted areas utilize the existing

lateral boundaries of R–2103. No new

restricted airspace is established by this

action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 15,

1996.

Gallant, Airspace and Rules Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 73

subdivides R–2103, Fort Rucker, AL,

into two separate areas to permit more

efficient utilization of airspace.

Currently, R–2103 extends from the

surface to 15,000 feet MSL, with a time

of designation of ‘‘continuous.’’ The

using agency has determined that the

majority of mission activities currently

do not require restricted airspace above

10,000 feet MSL. Certain activities,

however, still require restricted airspace

up to the 15,000 feet MSL ceiling, but

not on a ‘‘continuous’’ basis. Under the

current restricted area configuration,

airspace is restricted up to 15,000 feet

MSL even when mission activities do

not require airspace above 10,000 feet

MSL. This unnecessarily limits public

access to a portion of the airspace. This

amendment will subdivide the existing

R–2103 as follows: R–2103A is

designated from the surface to but not

including 10,000 feet MSL, and retains

a ‘‘continuous’’ time of designation.

Cairns Approach Control, a U.S. Army

air traffic control facility, is designated

as the controlling agency for R–2103A,

per agreement with the FAA,

Jacksonville ARTCC. R–2103B is

designated from 10,000 feet MSL to

15,000 feet MSL, with a time of

designation of ‘‘By Notice to Airmen

(NOTAM) 6 hours in advance.’’ The

FAA, Jacksonville ARTCC is designated

as the controlling agency for R–2103B.

This change enables the using agency to

accomplish its mission while improving

the capability to activate only the

minimum amount of restricted airspace

necessary for that mission. There is no

change to the lateral boundaries or

activities conducted in the existing area.

This action affects only the internal

subdivision of an existing restricted area

and enhances efficient airspace

utilization. Therefore, I find that notice

and public procedure under 5 U.S.C.

553(b) are unnecessary since this action

is a minor amendment in which the

public would not be particularly

interested. The coordinates for this

airspace docket are based on North

American Datum 83. Section 73.21 of

part 73 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations was republished in FAA

Order 7400.8C dated June 19, 1995.

Environmental Review

This action internally subdivides an

existing restricted area and does not

affect the lateral boundaries or overall

vertical limits of restricted airspace.

There are no changes to air traffic

control procedures, routes, or type of

activity conducted within these

boundaries as a result of this

amendment. Therefore, this action is not

subject to environmental assessments

and procedures under FAA Order

1050.1D, ‘‘Policies and Procedures for

Considering Environmental Impacts,’’

and the National Environmental Policy

Act.

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. 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.
