14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 01–ASO–1]

Establishment of Class E2 Airspace;

Tri-City, TN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

E2 airspace at Tri-City, for the Tri-City

Regional Airport. The Tri-City Airport

Traffic Control Tower is a part time

facility. When the control tower is

closed, Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control

Center (ARTCC) provides approach

control service. This requires

establishment of Class E2 surface area

airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 13, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The Tri-City Regional Airport lies

within Class D airspace. The Tri-City

Airport Traffic Control Tower hours of

operation have changed and it is now a

part time facility. When the control

tower closes, Atlanta ARTCC provides

approach control service for the Tri-City

Regional Airport. Since the Atlanta

ARTCC provides approach control

service and the proper classification of

airspace to accommodate aircraft

conducting standard instrument

approach procedures is not available,

flight safety interests may be affected.

Accordingly, immediate corrective

action is taken herein, in the interest of

flight safety, to establish Class E2

airspace in the vicinity of Tri-City

Regional Airport. Therefore, I find that

notice and public procedure under 5

U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and

contrary to the public interest.

Designations for Class E are published

in FAA Order 7400.9H, dated

September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

part 71.1. The Class E designations

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) establishes Class E2 airspace at

Tri-City, TN.

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.

Glenallen intersection to the legal

description of G–8, thereby correcting

this error.

Revision of VOR Federal V–480 and Jet

Route J–120; AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This action revises Very High

Frequency Omnidirectional Range

(VOR) Federal Airway 480 (V–480) and

Jet Route 120 (J–120) in Alaska by

adding a routinely used route segment

between Mt. Moffett and St. Paul Island,

AK. The FAA is revising these routes for

the following reasons: The conversion of

this uncharted nonregulatory route to a

VOR Federal airway and jet route will

add additional instrument flight rules

(IFR) airway and route infrastructure in

Alaska; pilots will be provided with

minimum en route altitudes and

minimum obstruction clearance

altitudes information; to establish

controlled airspace, thus eliminating

some of the commercial IFR operations

in uncontrolled airspace; and to

improve the management of air traffic

operations and thereby enhance safety.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 22,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 11, 2000, the FAA

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 (part

71) to revise V–480 and J–120 (65 FR

60385). Interested parties were invited

to participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments were received. With the

exception of editorial changes, this

amendment is the same as that proposed

in the notice.

The Rule

The FAA is amending part 71 to

revise V–480 and J–120 in Alaska. The

revision to V–480 and J–120 will add a

routinely used route segment between

Mt. Moffett and St. Paul Island, AK.

Presently, there is an uncharted

nonregulatory route segment with the

same routing as this airway and jet route

revision. The current route is used by

air carrier and general aviation aircraft.

The FAA is revising these routes for the

following reasons: (1) The conversion of

this uncharted nonregulatory route to a

VOR Federal airway and jet route will

add additional IFR airway and route

infrastructure in Alaska; (2) pilots

would be provided with minimum en

route altitudes and minimum

obstruction clearance altitude

information; (3) to establish controlled

airspace, thus eliminating some of the

commercial IFR operations in

uncontrolled airspace; and (4) to

improve the management of air traffic

operations and thereby enhance safety.

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, when

promulgated, will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Jet routes are published in paragraph

2004 and Alaskan VOR Federal airways

are published in paragraph 6010(b) of

FAA Order 7400.9H dated September 1,

2000, and effective September 16, 2000,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The jet route and the Alaskan

VOR Federal airway listed in this

document will be published

subsequently in the Order.
